    Jesus, TT, say it aint so!

    You know, I'm one of those TT workerbees that just works, keeps my head down and tries to go unnoticed by management.  Because, I have a life outside of MT basically.  But this is totally RIDICULOUS.  How DARE YOU TT, HOW DARE YOU!!!


    Guess what?  Your begging for workerbees right now, as at least 1 account is out of TAT.  Well, I've lost ALL MOTIVATION for working today.  You can BITE ME!!! 


    How DARE YOU, TT, HOW DARE YOU!!!  How dare you threaten a fellow MT!!!  You cut our pay, you force us to do that garbage that is VR and now you threaten to sue us for exercising our RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH???  WTF??????? 


    You have totally lost all respect, the little respect I felt for you, in my eyes.  NEVER ASK ME FOR A FAVOR AGAIN. 


    Like I said, I'm one who almost never posts here because I work hard and have a life outside of MT.  And with this UNCONSCIONABLE (SP??) ACTION, you have angered me beyond belief. 


    BITE ME TT!!!! 


    Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

    I just think a lot of questions are asked on this board that should be private so to speak...
    nm
    Questions re your post
    I was hired by KS for this account but after about a week I simply gave up because of the amount of ESL dictators, thinking I would never be able to produce their required line count. Reading your post has made me wonder if I gave up way too soon. Had you done a lot of ESL dictation previous to starting this account? How long did it take you to become proficient at this account? Thanks for your input.
    That's the point of my post --

    We have no information.  We've only been given a few quick answers in a phone call.  


    The pay cuts everyone is referring to are to the existing Transcend employees, not the MTs from the MDI merger.  Nothing will change with us until January 1st.  The answers you received in that phone call only apply until January 1st.  After that, we're fair game for pay cuts. 


    I'm looking today, too!  I've had enough of sitting around hoping and praying for something good to come out of this.  If I jump the gun and lose 1 or 2 cents per line, at least I'll still have my sanity.  I have a feeling though, if I stay, I'll lose much more than 1 or 2 cents a line with Transcend. 


    This was a very stupid move on Transcend's part.  If they were going to do pay cuts, it would have been smarter for them to wait until after January 1st.  They've just given us a sneak preview of how they treat their employees.


    Re-read my post - that was my point! nm
    x
    You missed the whole point of my post. NM

    You missed the point of the post
    The writer was asking you why you don't simply get another job (or a second one)... Unless you are new to this biz, you have to know to diversify and have more than one job at all times.

    Doesn't mean I don't sympathize - and I speak from experience. Rad is all I do and I wouldn't dream of being without a back up at all times.


    I agree with your post, but I still want to point out
    that it is me (and the ones who stood with me) who came out as the winners in this argument.

    I corrected definitely wrong grammar (10 times the same mistake in 1 post) and I was NOT nit-picking, whereas I was consequently singled out and nit-picked on by questioning my style, whereas BOTH versions are acceptable.

    I can with certainty say that posters who are 100% against me and even started bad-mouthing me, although I corrected righfully wrong grammar, are the MTs with the bad grammar and spelling, refusing to admit their mistakes and should therefore NOT be MTs, because they have generally bad morals.
    You miss the point and the irony of your post!
    They are mass hiring still and have NO work. The future is the future, and now is now. I certainly think it is unethical at the very least to continue to hire MTs when the ones who are there are scrambling for a job or 2. No matter now nicey-nice they may be, that is NOT nice, no matter how you slice it. They have no right to be hiring with work shortages, unless they state that up front, which, of course, they do not!
    You totally missed the point of my post.
    You just restated my point. The above poster is lucky that she started at 0.095 cpl. That has not been my experience. But I am thrilled to be working at 7 cpl. As I stated before, even at 7 cpl, I make more money than I ever did at any other job. I currently making over $17 an hour at 7 cpl and my pay keeps increasing each month as I get better on my account, so I am not complaining. No need to get down on me when you clearly misunderstood my post.
    Your post makes my point. If IC, company is NOT
    x
    Well, yes. But my point is the OP said wanted people to post

    positive experiences with Focus.  I've seen other posts like this where a person will ask about a specific MTSO and say something like just good things or no negative posts please.


    It just strikes me as looking at the world through rose colored glasses.  How can you make an informed decision if you only consider one side of an argument?  It's just silly.  Why bother to ask any questions at all?  Just take the job and be done with it.  People take time to answer questions honestly here and try to help out fellow MTs so they don't make the same mistakes we've made and what thanks do we get? 


    Pollyannas like the OP who just wants to hear the good. 


    Let me get this straight: These boards are not to communicate or ask questions. Don't post if y
    because it will cause a huge thread of bashing to the point that the OP is sick to their stomach because of the ugliness.

    Don't say anything bad about any company because it will be defended by so many people and will turn so ugly that the entire thread will be pulled.

    The purpose of this forum is NOT to find out about companies, it is about seeing how nasty the next person can get.

    Do I have it straight now?
    Very odd, I put your original questions in quotes, but they did not show up in the post. nm

    Too busy working to post anything...plus no one has asked any questions about them lately...
    nm
    I think the point was to POST names of good companies for all MTs to see,
    x
    The above post proves my point! You are out of line and that was uncalled for..sm
    not to mention utterly ridiculous to even read. Why are you reaching so high to make this MT look bad because she doesn't want to work a weekend? Get over it already. The OP obviously has a life, some of us do! Maybe it's time you get one!
    You missed my point in jobs knockin post and the
    you want.  If you like MTSO you are with now, get more work from there.  If not go after what you want with different MTSO, different job, whatever.  Whats the big deal with askin for more work with MTSO you are with, if you like them.  No different that asking to work for (by applying to) any other MTSO. A real pro knows to get proactive and steer you life in the direction you want it to go.
    EXCELLENT post. Thank you for a balanced point of view. nm

    Try re-reading the original post...you're missing the point

    Feel free to post your questions here. The only criteria we ask that posters follow

    is not to post other people's personal names, email addresses, telephone numbers, and no client specific information.  Regarding crass posts by others, this is an anonymous board, which means anyone can post without identifying themselves.  We do moderate the site for content, but I would advise ignoring the trolls and negative information and zone in on the positive.

    See my post on the MQ board about this. nm
    s
    They use to post on the job board here
     - but they got so many replies that were ridiculous that they post at another website.  Goes to show what they think of us !  There is no communication at that place.
    When you say post on job board...

    do you mean the resume bank?  I am also looking for work as an IC and wondering if there might be any other place to post one's resume on this site.  TX!


    Post on job board...
    Anybody know what company is posting the transcription manager and QA coordinator jobs...posted by Samantha Lescalleet?
    Well there's a post on the new MT board
    Maybe he/she took the bait...  they won't even have to pay him/her...
    did you mean to post this on another board? NM

    Your post on GL is on the job seekers board. nm

    only jobs post on job board
    I was asking a question about a company on the company board and it completely disappeared. It's not on the job board or man board...I just replied to my own post to ask the question again though.
    I saw your post on the forum board.

    And to you and anyone else who read it, did you go back and try to read it again, only to find that it was GONE?  Um... yeah.


    Every single thing you have said is true.  Every word of it. 


    Time to jump ship or drown.


    there was a post on them on this board, but all of a sudden ....
    it has disappeared .... I have to choose my words carefully, but I think the Administrator took it off the board because they were posting a job on the company board. The administrator does not let companies that offshore post for jobs - AND I PRAISE THEM FOR THAT!!!!
    I won't even post on the MQ board anymore...
    Its gone far beyond even MQ bashing to MT bashing! Not my cup of tea.

    PS: Nice 2 have another GUY on the boards LOL - keep posting! :)
    You post on a offshore board.

    the right board. We only have 9 boards now, so if your post fits in one of those categories, do not post on the Main board or your post will be deleted with no explanation.

    That's the best post I've seen on this board
    Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it love it!!!
    :D
    I too will put your post on my bulletin board
    Everything you say is true along with some other comments on this thread about having to work for it. I have been an MT for 22 years. I average about 35,000 a year. I do work full-time, but have a TV in my office to keep boredom at bay. I turned it off 2 weeks ago. The economy stinks, and thinks are getting tougher, so I figured I better start trying to make more money. It is amazing what you can do when you really apply yourself. I went from 1200-1300 lines a day to 1800. That will make a huge difference in my paycheck. It can be done if you work at it.
    This is the only board I've been able to post on and

    I've been a member for years here. I have a validated email address and have been using the same moniker for at least a year.


    Something is not right.


    Avenir post on job board...sm
    I am REALLY confused now, they want In-house MTs....where? in their US office or in India? jeez.
    Now I realize why I never post on this board
    Things get blown way up. It was just a question and only a couple just answered the question without judging me and getting into things they have no knowledge of. WOW I think you folks really need to get out more. !!!!!!
    this is for post further down, yes company board,
    'have you ever worked out of the home'...sorry for confusion.
    Yes, so that those who didn't see the post on the Company board may see it on the
    Main board.  What's wrong with that?  Isn't that ok to do? 
    OSI is not allowed to post on the board any longer. (SM)

    If you cannot control your emotions when discussing OSi topics, you will be banned.


    I have deleted an entire thread about OSI pay because of the vicious personal attacks.  If you cannot respect others opinions or state yours without being so vindictive, don't post here.
