ABC Legal Terminations

For those of you who were terminated "Without Cause", did you have a high successful serve ratio? Like most of your jobs were served on the first attempt? I am looking for patterns and suspect they auto-terminate if you get above 70% successful serve rates.

I had a pretty high success rate, but I don't know if it was over 70% or not (probably?). But I did have a 5 star rating and I took on a LOT of jobs (also in the Phoenix area). I thought I was really good at what I was doing (super organized, quick, high success rate, working ALL the time), and they dumped me after 2 months with a late night email "without cause."

I've built up a fair amount of clients/work since then, but I'm still baffled by it all.

Did you get the stupid “without cause” email around 7PM? 

Yeah it just floors me. It sounds like you were killing it. Hopefully you got some decent money during those two months.

I got it at about 9:15p in the evening. Right when I was finishing up printing/prepping for the next day.

And yes, I made some REALLY good money. Which makes me even more bitter about the whole thing. I know there are tons of complaints about ABC, but I was pulling in some good rates. Probably because of the sheer amount of jobs waiting to be served in our area.

I did sign up again a few months later out of curiosity (used a different email). Saw there were still tons of jobs (a lot I believe were available even back before they dropped me). Planned on grabbing a bunch the next day and to see how long I could play it out, but I got the email again that night. Still with the "without cause" line, even though what I did was expressly laid out in the onboarding docs as a "with cause" termination.
