Looks like Bare is considering taking over a pizza chain from FF. Hope they change some of the ridiculous brief photos if they do!

from the email i and no doubt others have got it looks like frontline focus are on verge of losing their pizza client globally... which is good.
I never like any one to lose their job, but if they are rubbish at it and rip people off then I have no sympathy if the company goes under.

Totally agree.

What's happening with ESA lately? Everytime I go there the cupboard is bare

Has anyone had problems getting paid by Market Force? It says that they paid me last month, but it's not in my bank account. I raised a query as suggested on their website and heard nothing. Are they scammers?

Yeah - I even went to the bother of downloading their new mobile app. Perhaps they are looking to launch more jobs via that route and yet to launch. Cant see why they would invest in that route unless they have plans to use it. Watch this space I guess..

They've always been really good in my experience - quick to review and approve my jobs for payment, paying twice a month with a very clear interface to let you know when a job will be paid. Def not scammers in my opinion.

I would have to agree with the sentiments of emmylc as one could say a lot of things about MF, and many have, but scammers would not be a label I would readily attach to them. I've never had a problem with them (MF/RE) in over 4 years so far as I can recall.

Thanks Emmylc and Sukitnsee. Fingers crossed they will get back to me soon and explain what the problem is.

Do you guys get lots of prof reading issues? They are asking questions for things that the company says they did, but they didn't and I have said clearly in my report that they didn't. It feels like they want me to change my report to say that everything was perfect when it wasn't.

Am I alone with this?

Its a shame to hear that Deanied, I have only had the odd proofreading issue and that has usually been very minor and my error through rushing or not reading the brief carefully enough but it's been months since I have even had one of those.
You might have just dropped on an unlucky visit, I would love to know who the company are just out of interest as I am almost certain to have visited at least the brand myself if not the specific location.
If you are prepared to reveal then remember to do it in a cryptic fashion or message me perhaps. Apologies for my nosy nature and feel free to refuse of course, I do not want to make things worse for you in any way.
Stick to your guns if you are sure you are right and I hope it gets cleared up soon.

If I think a proof read query is frivolous, asking something I've already said, or otherwise objectional, I normally just forward it to the account manager with a tactful note.
