I know what you say is true in some cases BUT s/m
if I read correctly, they told her she needed to work on her typing skills. This would lead me to believe it was a timed test or something. If she needed to work on her grammar or spelling skills or whatever, they should have told her that. I would bet she is a very good MT. It seems to me that a lot of companies purposely try to break the spirits of MTs, making them think they are not worth crapola and, thus, not entitled to decent pay.
