Amen to that! I totally agree...I've been in this business 14 years, 8 as MTSO and it's been doing downhill for the last 6...back to college for me in the spring also.

This job is going down the toilet fast
with the greedy MTSO's, the needless QA nitpicking, the voice recognition, the work that is left being shipped overseas to be done by people who will work for peanuts.

I see the writing on the wall and will put all my eggs in one basket no longer. Back to college for me!

I don't want to be standing in the umemployment line holding a Burger King application when the bottom finally does completely fall out of this soon to be nonexistent profession.

If anyone refuses to accept the fact that this is the end of this job and it's time to start planning accordingly, that's up to them and I wish them the very best of luck.

This is exactly why our rates are going into the toilet -
SOMEONE will nearly always work for whatever ridiculously low rate is offered!

It only takes a second to clean my toilet. Want to
x

I have attempted to drown myself in the toilet.

I am so embarrassed. Please, I beg of you, pay no attention to these ridiculous outbursts of my various personalities. Once my meds take affect, I can assure you that will be the end of these ridiculous, insane, frightening outbursts. Until then, just ignore anything that one of my personalities may posts.

Sorry, again, and I shall dunk my face in the toilet as I beg forgiveness.

Well the invite to come clean my toilet for free still
