In Reply to: Hmmm - sm - Fired or Quit?

you refused, sounds like you exercised your right as an IC in not doing the work. An IC cannot be fired - there is no employee/employer relationship there. You are what you are.

They can verbally say anything, but it is NOT
Be careful. If they're like Transolutions they will backstab you!

He verbally attacked me

I had the problem where they sent me a rejection email, even though I hadn't even tested with them yet. All I had done was send them an email. Their email said I didn't meet their minimum requirements for an MT, even though I have 20 years acute care experience. The recruiter told management I didn't know what a hysterectomy was or bariatric surgery, etc., and I had never even spoke with her. He insisted I had and that I was just mad because they turned me down! I still have those nasty emails. That was about a year ago. I decided then and there I wasn't going to work for a company that allowed such a psychotic nasty person to be in charge of HR.
