Re: Tell me what U think?
They have to pay you.
As for the negative reviews...it is entirely unacceptable to not tell someone if they are getting some things wrong. I don't care if you are an independent contractor or not.
Before going nuts I think you should find out what is in these reviews. Contact this company and say that as an independent contractor you strive to provide quality care and would be grateful to learn from your experience with them. I know it sounds like bull but I would do it.
After you have the info you need then kick their butt about not paying you. If you choose. Personally I wouldn't go further than a stiff letter to them as it would be a lot of trouble.
Now, what these reviews say may be crapola but there is not a person I know who can't learn something from a negative review. So don't dismiss them out-of-hand.
By the way, my experience is that patients can be adorable to someone's face and then turn around a lodge a complaint. I have worked with techs who loved their patients and thought the feeling was mutual only to get complaints via the nursing supervisor. These are people who clearly have no idea how to look after their own needs. One wonders why, if you are in their house, they couldn't say "I prefer such and such" or whatever.
People just don't know how to be direct anymore and, as a consequence, many people are not learning how to receive direct feedback and take it in their stride.
I am so sorry this was your experience. What a bunch of idiots.
