Being able to do anything thrown at you

has hurt me with 2 MTSOs in the past. What ends up happening is that because I *can* do anything and have the attitude to be willing to do anything, when someone else *won't* do what is needed, I get pulled off my regular work to do what no one else will do. This can do several things. It can decrease my line count because I get no samples and have to slow down to nail every word to create a normal for several MDs on reports I can do but haven't done in a while. This decreases my productivity and my income. After I do this good samaritan act, I find out they only wanted me to do that because they needed templates to send out to all the MTs so anyone else can do them....all at the request of the hospital because the hospital asked for me to do this as they felt my work was so much better than what they got from anyone else. Now I feel ripped out because if I had known I was making normals for the entire account, I would have not made them available to the MTSO without negogiating a fair price for my product.
That underhandedness makes me feel disillusioned and eventually causes me to leave.
JMHO

Which will probably be thrown out
Nothing that GP said was slanderous in any way. Of course, there is still the expense of retaining a lawyer, etc., but I highly doubt this case will stand. It is a scare tactic and they need to be met head on.
Yes, I have thrown in the towel already - sm
Been an MT for nearly 11 years. Though I love the work and am good at it, I cannot stomach the fact that I make a little less every year due to no pay increases and threats of even reduced line rates for the same amount of work. What other career do you know where the pay actually goes down every year due to no cost of living increases? Time for some change for me. 
You are the only one that has thrown that number out there, no one else
You my dear are lacking. I never said I did that much an hour. I said for a half hour it was 446 and then I got straight and stuck with that crap. I love VR, type fast but I don’t have to work now, unlike years past. This is just my chump change, as someone called it below.
Well, did you tell them you got thrown off and didn't even get to take the test?

I got thrown out, lost my connection
called my team leader, who was very nice, and never got back in. 3 hours ago, still have not heard from IT. I am going to stick it out, though, hoping things will work out.
why the water bucket being thrown on the fire
?
I never got to finish. After it asked me how much I was making, I got thrown off. -nm

Puhahaha! I'd probably end up starving to death or gathering enough vegetables being thrown to op
my own produce stand. Thanks for the chuckle. XDDDD
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
