Nickle and Diming Us To Death OR You Too Can Buy an Unfair Advantage Over Your Competition!


I'll make this short and sweet. I am feeling annoyed...... like I am being shook down for $40..... and am wondering who gets a kickback?

As a substitute teacher, with a masters degree, I clear $83 per day.  I get called to work by the automated system, on average, 5 times per month.  More than one of these calls is at the last minute in the wee hours of pre-dawn, and unless I go into frantic hurry up and get out of the house mode, I cannot get there in time.  So I usually turn these last minute jobs down.  (Now of course, I could get up at 5 a.m., shower and make-up, coffee and pack the lunch, and just sit WAITING for the call.... but remember, that kind of call comes only twice per month. And I don't do mornings well.)

Alternatively, I can check the web site to see if there are any available jobs.  When the auto-dialer is snaking through its call tree, the jobs sit there for all to take - just a couple of clicks and you've got the job and the auto-dialer ceases...... if it is in the middle of a call with a prospective sub, it apologizes and does not give them the job.

Sometimes I get a phone call from the sub-filler robot, and by the time I punch through the menu to Accept, I hear, "I cannot assign you to this job.  Sorry."  click.....  It has been happening more frequently lately.

So, I am on the sub-filler web site, and an advert pops up - You Too Can Listen To Your Computer Go DING when there is a job waiting for you!  Two clicks, and You Got Job!  30-day free trial.  Thereafter, only $39.95 so that YOU TOO can beat out your competition as they prepare to push "1" on their phone to Accept the Job.

I equate this to extortion. Should I write the HR Dept. a letter?

UPDATE:

i just herad a ding upstairs.
ran up.
JOB for Monday.
the phone system doesn't start up until 5 p.m.
did not take the time to look to see if it was on the web.

Wa'HOO!!!
I'm in the money..... I'm in the money........ I'm in the money NOW!!!!!!!!!
