And now from the makers of AESOP, new terms of use that forbid
the use of any other software intended to automatically search
and/or accept jobs. This is truly a monopoly. Jobulator is
useless in my district. I have intentionally not accepted a job
and continued to click to search for assignments. Most
assignments are gone within 10 seconds. When I tried the sample
of Jobulator I got NOTHING. I later found that it only scans the
system every two minutes for new assignments. This makes
jobulator absolutely f_ck_ng useless. I am preparing my
complaint for the FTC to stop this nonsense and monopoly! Dave,
What do you have to say about that
