This Post over at TechCrunch says here are indications that the company is having cash flow issues, even after a recent pay cut to guides. As before, the information is coming from their poorly-paid and poorly-treated human guides.
Employees are simply not being paid, says one guide, asking to remain anonymous. And he sends several screen shots of ChaCha’s internal forum for guides, which show dozens of complaints about slow or non-existent payouts.
the facts
I don’t see where Michael Arrington got the idea that ChaCha was having ‘cash flow’ issues when his entire article is based on the arbitrary complaints of one guide who can’t even identify himself as a credible source. Most guides must still happy with their pay, even after the cut, or there would be a lot more complaining and a lot more quitting. Did Arrington’s source want to stay anonymous so that he could keep his job as a guide? Seems a little hypocritical to me.
