for what its worth - we were using adultoutsourcing for some time for some paysite projects we had going, we decided to stop using them (for reasons not related to their services). We were happy with them, the guy we had working for us (onaq) was a real quick learner, honest and hard working. Couldnt have asked for anything else.
The guys at AOS were quite pro to deal with, they contacted me quite often asking if everything was ok.

I have recently learned that the guy We had working for us isnt with AOS anymore, dont know why - however he didnt mention anything related to mutiny.
We too were happy with our designer, he also was a quick learner. In our case, it was decision of management to remove our designer from the account.

The staff mutiny comment refers to what I have now learned about the internal problems currently plaguing the Adult Outsourcing Company who operate in the Philippines.

According to Albert from Adult Outsourcing, several of their staff were suspected of creating their own outsourcing company from within the company.

As a now former AOS client, who is also mindful that sure it is a possibility when you have talented individuals who only make approximately US$200 per month.

Who could blame them for wanting more. As a client, we were always considerate of the labor policy/mentality there in the Philippines.

The straw that broke the camels back in our case was when they removed our designer, without notice. There was no problem with our designer, as he tackled his assignments and was able to speak fluent English. We are located in Seattle, and had provided our designer with a phone with a local Seattle phone number.

Please consider we spent a month training our outsourced designer, in our expectations and methodology. We declined their offer to provide us with a new staff person, as any reasonable person would conclude there would be a high risk considering their current internal problems.

At the time they pulled our designer he was in various stages of development on several ongoing projects. We acceept responsibility for and in hindsight should have retrieved the designers master (psd) files on a daily basis.
