I gave notice the other day after nearly 3 yrs of service. Truthfully, I was overdue to leave when I began to receive more work from private clients, which is more money. Then I began getting their little blog excerpts in my box that sounded sometimes like they were written by a child. For most of my time there, I held a "4" ranking but truthfully, there was no great difference in the jobs, maybe .02 per word more. Even when I was qualified to be a "5" writer, where there's supposed to be a big difference in pay, they found a way to not promote me again. Anyway, the final straw was when they evaluated some of those 100-word projects (I like to do these when I want a break from larger assignments) I did recently. I received my first "3" in a long time because I forgot a keyword but some of these evaluations were rough and some even had no explanation. When I inquired about this, their response was that they did not have to give a full explanation. Although I've taken on a great deal of work in recent, typos are rare for me but punctuation errors have never been graded so harshly. So I said see ya (after making my final withdrawal).
