Hurricane having effect on MTs? Are any companies preparing for problems or solutions for Katrina?

I suspect some will be off the grid for a while.  Wonder if this board will have a way to help with transcription usually done by MTs in La, Al, and other areas?

I was part of the Hurricane Katrina disaster and am doing the best I can to rebuild...sm
My credit used to be almost perfect before this. I have since noted this on my credit report but I don't think its right. I am happy for you with spotless credit, but like so many others, you could be one paycheck away from total disaster so you better think again about your above statement.

Also, I don't remember signing anything about a credit check, but a background check I did. However, I believe they should have contacted me telling me why they changed their mind in giving me the job. So not right and probably not legal - opinons welcome. I enjoy reading all your replies.
Is anybody here still down from the hurricane?
My thoughts are with all the MTs who have lost their belongings and lives from the terrible tragedies that have happened recently.
And they told the MTs the hurricane had
Another one to add to the pack of lies.....

I know one MT who is still not working after Katrina...sm
ISP service still hasn't been restored to her area of Louisiana.  I even confirmed this with her ISP company to make sure she wasn't trying to  pull one on us.
Katrina showed us a thing or two about how
animals are treated in THIS country, not to mention the people. (It was the government who PURPOSEFULLY cut funding to repair the levee...)

We are ALL paying much more now to fix the problem than would have been paid to properly maintain and prepare the area. AND new legislation is on the books to protect care for animals in hurricanes.

WHEN are we going to learn? PREVENTION is far less expensive than ANY punishment or fix?
You are correct - also the millions CEOs took off the top for the Katrina supposedly home reimbursem
Well, I don't know I think it is the lobbying. We don't have lobbyists. With employment going up, mortgages defaulting, no one mentions in the news about all the US jobs going overseas causing this. I was so pro Hillary Clinton until I read about her being an advocate of outsourcing jobs and was overseas promoting it, I don't remember what country offhand - that broke my heart. Look back to before this president took office - you didn't hear of outsourcing to other countries or jobs going overseas, maybe I am wrong but if it brings lots of money to companies - they are certainly going to be hiring the lobbyists to keep it going.

I don't know why the new does not report what is happening - they seem to skirt the issue big time. Talk about unemployment and mortgage defaults by not the reason - we are all being replaced overseas. I guess if you can retire with millions of dollars in your pocket from stealing from the American people then it won't matter when the downfall happens to the rest of us.
does it say when this all goes into effect?

It went into effect 6/1. nm

When does the pay cut go into effect?
Sorry to hear this, Daniel...I knew they were going to be implementing VR for at least one account but didn't realize the pay cuts would go into effect so soon.

Did you at least get full pay during the transition period?


Think the law goes into effect today
about mandatory overtime. Not allowed anymore, but they don't say anything about MTs. Mostly nurses, nurse's aides, etc., and probably wouldn't apply to us. Try to look it up on the 'net.
Wish Donna could see what effect it has sm
on our workload when she's typing away off shift.  Too bad we can't come on during the day and snag all her work.
What's it to you when or what she does?? How does this effect your life??

Assume everything in effect as of Jan 1

The changes have no effect at all. I never talked to QA anyway. It is the problem with sm
solcen that is at issue.  The are assigning jobs and rearranging job pools.  That is the problem.
economy trickle-down effect hit me hard

company i was working for filed BK and no one new. Two unpaid invoices later, out $5K for October.  I new there would be an October surprise.....I just thought it would be in the presidential race.


Has she posted anything to that effect, or is she letting testing continue?
I dunno, this whole situation sounds a bit peculiar to me. I like to give everyone the benefit of a doubt, but this one just seems peculiar for some reason (or for several reasons).

I hope whoever bothered to test for this and landed it posts how their experience goes.
