and I completely agree with everything you said about MQ. They are horrible, and I'm hoping more people will find out. Probably just by simply googling MQ, a lot of their information would be revealed. They aren't loyal to their US employees, so why should we be loyal employees to them? I was someone who worked weekends, evenings, nights, etc. I even went back to work about 2 weeks after my twins were born as MQ refused to pay any maternity leave and by law I guess they weren't required to. I also had to work shortly after my Dad passed as I guess they didn't have any bereavement time then in 2005. That probably helped me a little though to keep my mind off from things.

Anyway, I hope you have found a better company, too. I found a new one and am hoping to begin soon. I was a little nervous leaving, but I'm sure I am saving a lot of unnecessary stress by leaving MQ now. I'm hanging onto them for a part-time job as long as I can though, although I think I could be fired any day now.

I really hope and pray for the best for the MTs left at MQ.
