My boss at the time had me working as a project manager, photoshop artist, and head hunter. I had logged in several hundred hours several jobs with an impressive five star rating and more than a thousand dollars in provider earnings. I had built my own provider company and it was growing fast... until odesk customer support messed things up.
I called oDesk customer support for help and instead i was dumb founded at how oDesk treats it's providers.
I had high hopes on oDesk back then. I realize that I am still bitter and resentful at oDesk's cold and insincere apology.
I had worked like a mad man establishing a five star reputation and a reputation worthy of note. In the interest of covering up their mistakes oDesk customer service exerted great lengths to cover up the TRUTH and wash their hands of this mess. They had even banned me from the user forum and blocked my account. In effect oDesk customer support now led by Ron Aquino (who previously was with security assessment) deprived me of free speech.
oDesk had recently invited me to try online employment again through their facebook group. However since they refuse to reinstate my oDesk hours and profile, I find their invitation unacceptable.
I am currently running my own Icafe, web-publishing and web hosting business. I offer my services through Elance, Freelancer among others.
