Management is Lost - Interpreter Sorenson Communications Employee Review

Management has lost connection with the interpreting profession and the values of the Deaf community. The skill threshold for hiring has been lowered. Staffing focuses on filling jobs, not on best fit, credential, or skill needed. Management is trying to create a corporate industry in a profession based *in* the community, and dictate consumers access from the top down. Wild fluctuations in demand create unreliable hours. While the vision and mission may be good, you need the community and the professionals to trust you, and that trust is being completely eroded. Standards of the profession are being warped by corporate policy, setting the profession back 25 years worth of progress. They are at the point of letting go any dead weight so if you don't make yourself useful, your chances of continuing are slim, much less advancement.
