but MTs aren't the ONLY department in the company, tech, payroll, etc., are not immune. Do our jobs AS WELL AS WE CAN and hold on tight!

Positive thinking won't hurt either. ;-)

        giving your best - nomoney
  - to the point and v. professional and well-said. - (nm)

    - Then sounds like a recruiter problem. sm - anon
  - that was my thought - too
    - re sending work to QA - sm
      - There are a lot of QA abusers at SM - QAer not MDI
        and I agree with you. I spend - MT at MDI
        Totally agree, some do abuse QA - OldMT
        How about do away with QA and pay the MT more - and if there are ESLs send the report
        A good MT will have ESL skills - Joules
        I don't quite understand the reluctance to do ESLs... - Happy@MDI

        Then your MTSO would have NO clients - MQQA
        There's a very simple solution to MTs that don't improve - despite numerous QA feedback-sm
        All we can do is report it to their supervisor - We don't have that power
        Agreed, didn't mean for misunderstanding. - MTSO's place to get rid of the MTs. sm

    - Your "take" is ill-informed - fatcat
    - MDI does NOT send work overseas. - nm
      - Hmmm - now where've I heard THAT before? - They've all said that.
      - Not yet, but there is nothing to stay that it will not happen soon. nm - mtmtmtmtmt
        I would bet the rent MDI will not offshore - fatcat
        In actuality, you ARE "betting the rent". - Just like the rest of us do every payday.
      - That's why I asked if s/he worked for MDI - b/c anyone who works there knows they don't

Dismal yes
About those other departments, are they also benefit-less like the MTs? Just wondering, coz it seems like MTs who are earning the paycheck only, no benefits, aren't really costing the company money like people who get benefits do. I agree though we should all try our best not to be sending reports to QA, but what can you do with some of those dictators who won't pronounce their words, and we are not supposed to guess what they mean?
