Who says the posters aren't thankful for their job. The majority of all jobs have negatives and these boards let people let off steam...

venting
You make 40-50K a year? You obviously work for someone 0ther than MQ.
It is more venting than anything probably.
I went through all the channels when I had issues, all the way to the top, and despite promises to fix things they weren't. There were positivies, they just didn't outweigh the negatives.
She is just venting...sm
Sheesh! This is a MT board where you can vent about MT things like not having enough work. She may be looking for work. It may be she just hasn't had success.
Venting
I know the feeling. The company I work for now is very overstaffed, now no work for tomorrow. I came from an hourly salary to working by line cause my hospital outsourced. I have also taken 5 typing test from another company plus a written test and I still have not heard back one way or the other. It would be nice just to let a person know one way or another if they passed or failed. I am so tired of taking tests. I have been doing this for 30 years. I am seriously thinking about going to school for Medical Billing, but that will probably dry up too.
The Americans in some form or fashion have done ourselves in trading with other companies and now what does America go and do, but Outsource just about everything. I feel now we have tightened the noose too much. It is just horrible everywhere. I currently work two jobs and these two jobs are drying up too. I am getting physically and emotionally tired.
Who was venting? I asked
you to come nosing in with your helpless and rude comments. I wasn't complaining. I know my superiors are very busy and I just thought maybe a current Medware MT could help me out while I wait for a response. Instead, you have made it a big huge long drawn out one-sided conversation from my simple questions. Guess we all know that must mean you are a very boring person with nothing better to do with your life. You don't know the circumstances of my hire. I was offered a job and turned it down. A few months later I returned and they got me set up right away and neglected to send me all the new hire information. Not that it was any of your business anyway.....
Venting is fine. But when continues on and on and
time to stop and DO something about it. Take action and I dont mean MORE whining.
There was a MT that was venting in regards to Transend on their private board sm
(it is automatically set up so if you enter you know who is posting . . name displayed)and the other employees and management was nasty as h++ so believe me I wouldn't post any thing on the private board negative. I have already resigned. I have a week left.
VENTING - Focus Hocus Pocus
 FYI to anybody who might consider working for Focus. My brief stint with them was absolutely horrible. What a waste of my time! They are just ridiculous to expect an MT to sit and "keep checking every 3-4 hours" for work....Hello! There is plenty of work out there, but they are so backward in their process of distributing it that later on they are looking for people to jump in for extra time...to help them get out of the hole they dug for themselves while they were not paying attention to the work waiting to get transcribed! Just total dumb-bells!!!! 
Venting- how can you make money or get line counts when all the work is given to someone else!
Nothing seems fair anymore. Does anyone else ever have this happen?
I didn't take the posts as trashing the company, just people venting about no work. sm
I used to work for TT, and yes, they are wonderful people -- very caring and supportive -- but in order to get my lines in, I had to be VERY flexible, working on my days off, during times I wasn't scheduled, etc., and it gets old pretty quickly. I personally didn't care for the e-mails calling me sweetie or telling me you rock, but that's just me. I just want to be paid well and have plentiful work. I do not know if they just overhire or what happens, but I finally left because I couldn't stand the feast or famine work flow there.
