As a self-employed MT and IC ... - sm

Posted: Oct 14th, 2019 - 5:45 pm In Reply to: Well that is my point - OP

I work for several companies, none of which utilize VDI, and I realize there will be unpaid times I have to deal with computer issues - times I may have to actually pay someone to fix my computer, etc.

No, I refuse to spend hours on end letting Indian IT reps install various things on my computer while I sit and wait and monitor their every move, what appears to be multiple hours from what I understand.

I refuse to let Indian IT reps install anything on my computer EVER. Talk about a security issue. Who knows what they're loading on our computers.

It's up to each of us to decide how much we're willing to expend for free being an IC.

I handle this by not working for Nuance companies and keeping control of my time and computer. No, I refuse to spend all the unpaid time dealing with VDI issues. I just don't think it's safe having Indian reps accessing my computer PERIOD.
