Keep your chin up...

In Reply to: need a pep talk - bummed out MT

...study your mistakes, learn from them, resolve not to repeat them.  Take a deep breath, slow down a little bit.   The best MTs are the ones who take correction/criticism gracefully, and make note of it. 


It's all part of the job, and no one is perfect.

Chin up Shug!
Tomorrow's Sunday, go to church and pray about it.
Chin up and ask for a raise.

The worst they can say is no.  You're IC.  If you don't like what they're paying you, there's nothing keeping you there.  Believe me after 10 years with a company and no raise in the last 6 years, I spoke up and asked to be considered for one.  The process is still ongoing (only about 2 weeks since I asked) but at least I know they're looking at it.


Why did it take me 6 years to ask for one?  Because when I started with this company I was told I would be evaluated yearly, which I was for the first 4 years.  Every year, I got an evaluation and a raise on my anniversary date.  Then the company made major changes and 1 year slipped into 2 and before I knew it 6 years had gone by and nothing.  I guess I thought if I deserved a raise, they'd give it to me, right?  Wrong.  Companies don't just give out money.  Finally, I decided to do something about it.


You need to politely address this issue with your supervisor.  Be prepared for them to scrutinize your quality, commitment, production and availability.  Be prepared to sell yourself - i.e., how much OT/extra you work, any weekend/night hours, QA scores, etc.  You deserve a raise - go get it!!!!!


I use the headphones that go under the chin .. have you tried those? (nm)

Sennheiser wireless under-chin
I've read on here are a good brand. I'm considering getting a pair myself, but they're pretty pricey so I'm waiting for a good deal to come along. 
Where to buy headphones, below the chin, small ear pieces

I like the under-the-chin type w/volume control on the line at
