How is .02 CPL cost-effective? (sm) - Rose
Posted: Apr 08, 2014
I don't think many with experience would accept .02 CPL. I would imaging this forces MTSOs to train newbies. I'm sure they have to pay QA far more than .04 CPL to correct and go over the work. Even if they did pay QA only .04 CPL to do this, they are paying at least .06 CPL total. By the time the new editor is sufficiently trained to go off 100% QA they have had more than enough time to realize that they will never make a living doing this kind of work, the lies they were told by the school are blatantly obvious and I would think most will get out as fast as we are trying to. Then the cycle repeats itself at .06 CPL. Do they really think that the recent graduates will stick around any longer than we will? I'm trying to make sense of their business plan.
Their business plan is to make as much - money
[ In Reply To ..]as possible by taking it from the only source they can - us. And it's worked well for them so far. We are still here and more keep coming in. As fast as one leaves there are many more who want that opening.
They do it because they can.

[ In Reply To ..]I once saw a big nasty company which I will not name on here bid an account for .01 cpl for the first year. Of course they lost money, but the point was to get the account away from the small mom and pop that had it. It worked, and it effectively closed the mom and pop.

Took it to the computer shop, and the guy said he deleted some of the programs in my "service program." All was well for exactly 2 weeks, although I still had the black screen problem when loading DQS. The same thing h ...

Coding Salary Compared To MLS/ Is It Worth The Cost Of School?
