I'm so sorry to hear this.  I've worked for Magna multiple times and never had a problem.  It does take 45 days to get a check though.

How long has it been since you turned the job in?

Kyung - I just read your essay in the DRA newsletter about negotiating rates.  I agree 100 percent, and I follow those practices also.  I hope your essay is widely read by all reporters.  I meet so many, especially the younger ones, that just take what is handed out and never inquire about what they're going to be paid.  Some agencies are nickel and diming us to death!  There's one from Northern California that at first refused to reimburse for parking (in downtown LA!), but I see recently now does pay, but only to $25 - even when the bill is $38 to $40!  Then there are a few that subtract one page from the total page count, because you didn't actually report the cert page.  I feel like leaving it off my transcripts, then.  Hold the line!

Hi Kyung,

Nice to network with you!

Sorry it took so long to write back.  I moved from Southern California to the Oregon Coast.  Murphy's Law, too!  I would love to help you out.. Please email me at darcylingenfelser52@gmail.  Also, my cell is 530-925-3261.  Margie Wakeman-Wells was my English teacher.  27 yrs. a reporter.  I'm looking forward to talking with you.

Thanks!!

Hi, Kyung,

I have not been on this page for several months and just logged in and saw your friend request. Oops...sorry. I didn't mean to be rude by taking so long. I hope you have a wonderful weekend :)

Kyung, just wanted to say I am so impressed on all your accomplishments since you started reporting in 2002! Congratulations on all your hard work and investment in your craft!
