First of all, all the editors got their paycut, not just the ones who do speech rec.

Second of all, if you haven't gotten your pay cut, I'll bet that you do.

Or hey, maybe they value you more than the rest.

How much of a paycut? NM
xx

another MT paycut plus others
My friend had a pay cut last year (QA for an M company). My older son was laid off a year and a half ago; my younger son had to take a pay cut, and some in his company have already been laid off. So far, he's still got a job. My MT friend's hubby has had to take 2 pay cuts (equaling about 35% less). I, too, am happy to have a job. And I don't have to pay for gas or office clothes.

ITS NOT A PAYCUT...ARE YOU THAT MUCH IN DENIAL???
Dear lord, lady, how many posts do you have to read that there is NO cut in way with VR before it sinks in?

I'm so frustrated with you and other posters with your mindset.

I am not management; I'm 99.9% sure none of the other VR supporters posting are mangement, either. The people at TT do not have to waste their time coming on these boards to coddle the likes of you who are hitting the panic button because *GASP* you have to learn something new.

Not happy about it? You know where the door is.

The rest of us will be happy to pick up the extra work.

Another paycut courtesy of AHDI...

the blows to our industry keep coming.

Link is from AHDI site:

not to me, same skill req. look at the paycut.& increased lines
Need to get out your calculator. Ask what is their production minimum and time to accomplish before being let go.

2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour --listening/editing/fixing

at 4.5/ln
$90 a day
divide 8 hours is= $11.25hr.

10,000 lines a week=$450.

I see they pay on a VBC line. Isn't that a huge paycut from a 65-char. line with spaces? nm
