I received an interesting announcement from Liveops today about a new work at home program. You may find it of interest if you have a particular skill you’d like to use at home like transcription.
I work at LiveOps and have seen your blog postings and wanted to reach out to thank you for clarifying for individuals the information they are gathering. Since you have been following the work at home trend since 1995 it is great to have your experience provide some guidance to individuals – especially with the questions that get raised over what is legit and what is not. We are really proud of the opportunities we are presenting to individuals to have more freedom and opportunities to chart work opportunities on their terms. I hear often from individuals who have found this to be right up their alley.
I wanted to also let you know that we are taking the technology that has been at the foundation of LiveOps call center and have created another way for individuals to seek work opportunities – it is called LiveWork (www.livework.com). This goes beyond call center work and includes opportunities to do content management review, transcription and other work types that a company may need in an “on-demand” model. It is not a job matching site nor is it elance (one person one job). It is designed for work that companies may need for a few months, weeks or until the project is done. Besides offering work opportunities outside the contact center type work, it also connects individuals directly with the companies they are providing services to as well as to individuals with similar skills enabling folks to build teams (you will see many of the work types on the site are looking for 10-100 individuals with the same skills to complete the specific work). It is in its early stage of release but may be something your readers would be interested to know about too.
Again, just want to thank you for being there for folks who are looking for work at home opportunities.

Because of changing state laws and changing enforcement by state and federal agencies against Independent Contractors, Liveops isn’t a good bet for now. Liveops classifies agents as Independent Contractors which is getting harder to do as the state and federal government are going after IC’s to get the extra tax revenue.
Liveops canceled all contracts in New Hampshire without warning in December of 2009. This will be happening more and more as different states change their laws or increase enforcement against wrongly classified Independent Contractors.
Liveops is also changing many internal policies in an attempt to continue saying agents are IC’s. Being able to say we are IC’s vs employees is a big money saver for LO. Many agents are getting let go without any clear reason becasue LO is afraid to control the work that we do or tell us what the criteria is for keeping our jobs. Generally, to be considered an IC by the IRS, the bossman can’t exert control over the worker or tell the worker how to do the job. The bossman can only measure the result of the completed job.
This is making the working conditions very poor and agents don’t know when suddenly they’ll get an email saying they’ve been let go! Don’t count on LO for regular income.

Liveops is getting to be a real hassle. They keep letting people go and not telling anyone why! The pay is dropping on the different product lines. They are going through lots of changes while preparing to go public in the next year or so and with trying to skirt the Independent Contractor laws. It’s not a source of income you can count on anymore.
