VRS and the Viable Curse
Among the things that RID has not adequately addressed so far ... if it ever will ... is the debacle facing VIs that were misfortunate enough to work for Viable VRS. This blog recently heard from one VI, who is now workind for the Mormon-owned SORENSON, that they have a policy to NOT HIRE ANY VI's who previously worked for Viable. This VI, who did in fact work for Viable, just left it off her resume. Now we think this SUCKS on the part of Sorenson. The fact is it wasn't the VIs that were allegedly committing fraud. The Viable VIs were processing calls the way they were taught by the company. They weren't profiting from the fraud. The people committing the fraud were the deaf consumers and the deaf owners. Is Sorenson refusing to process calls from the Deaf consumers who perpitrated the Viable fraud or the other companies that were named in the FCC case? Doubt it. We wonder if it's even legal for Sorenson to refuse to hire someone who worked for a particular company? We're not lawyers. Anyone know? Leave a comment. Also does anyone know whether the Sorenson owners donated to Prop 8?

ReplyDeleteAnyone know anything about SNAP! VRS hiring former Viable VI's??
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard anything. I've heard gossip on both ends per snap. Does SNAP have a VRS office in NYC? The fact that any place wouldn't hire a Viable Terp is bullshit. Viable terps were some of the best terps in the business. It was the People who ran Viable, the deaf people, who were breaking the law. Let us know if you heard anything about SNAP.
ReplyDeleteI sent Snap! my resume. They replied 2 weeks later that they had it and were "looking into it" and would be "in touch". Their office is near Suffern, i.e. south of the Tappan Zee and north of the G.W. bridges. I don't know if the VI's work there or not.
