Yes, I guess that this is the way it works. But what is efficient for a PM, isn't necessarily efficient for a freelance translator (like me). For instance, I think that the memoQ server workflow (whenever I have to use it), is costing me a lot of time. Time in which I cannot translate.

To me, efficiency and productivity are paramount... this is a problem especially with the online (cloud) platform, that don't allow you to use your specific tools. At the end of the day, we can increase our rate to take this aspect into consideration, but they'll always find someone who's prepared to be "tortured" this way... and work for peanuts in the most challenging environments... :-(
