management so to say I couldn't hack it is bull.  I just couldn't deal with the BS. 

Getting worse and worse every day.  They are going to VR at a VERY FAST PACE, which pays so little you cannot survive on the money UNLESS you work 60 hours a week OR are one of the supe's fav's that get the better dictators.

There is always an excuse by TT as to the low work, but remember that doesn't pay our creditors.  Work disappears in large chunks when were at getting almost out of TAT (if ever) so it is going somewhere.

TT is turning out to be like every other MT company out there - more and more executives/supervisors to pay and not a single penny raise for the MT -- much less provide work for the MT's on a consistent basis -- not near consistent basis.

I worked for MQ for 6 years,  and they went from bad to worse. I am glad I do not work there anymore. I worked every weekend (my choice) and almost every holiday for them. They do not give you any differential for working w/e or holidays and will try to screw you out of any $$ they possibly can.  After 6 years, no one even said thank you, good luck..nothing!!!  I now work for a company that actually appreciates my work!

Google is not a reliable source for spellings, terminology, drugs, etc.

I have had MTs tell me but I found it on google

and especially with getting the media involved. Nothing is going to happen until people realize what is happening to their personal information. It is just now coming to the forefront, thanks to the media, the reality and effect of what happens to our personal information when all of these companies have access to it and the result thereof. It's on television every time we turn around; our personal information being *out there* and in the hands of who knows who, stolen and disseminated in whatever way someone or some company chooses. As well, physicians truly need to understand that companies are outsourcing (I don't believe for a moment that most of them understand this fact). That aside, the effect on the lives and work of the American MT is something that needs to be known, and the media is the only way the information is going to be released to the general public. Using American MTs is the only way this information is *safe*, to so speak.

Additionally, as you state, using us to correct all of the mistakes made by the client in ADT and not paying us for it is so absurd, I am sick to death of it myself. I run across it every day (and MQ (for whom I work doesn't pay us, either). On one account I have, in particular, virtually nothing matches in ADT and if we don't get it correctly, it IS the fault of the MT, no matter what (??). We get email after email about it from out PS on up. Also, everything is done to lessen the line count, no matter how awful it looks. ASR keeps lessening our pay. Everything is beginning to look as if it were done by Indians or Pakistanis, etc., and it's not as if I have anything against those people, in case anyone wants to jump on me for that statement, other than they are being given our jobs. However, the work is substandard.

As an aside, can you think of any better way for a terrorist organization to infiltrate?

Something terrible has happened to the work ethic in this country.  I have met so many MTs who feel entitled to high pay per line, easy work, no weekends, no nights, and who don't want to give even the tiniest bit of effort when it comes to completing their work on time and CORRECTLY.

I wouldn't want to be an MTSO for any amount of $ in the world.  MTs are too difficult to deal with and there are tons of them out there who are totally undependable and/or incompetent these days.

Okay, they obviously like you, but is their love for you going to pay your bills?  If other MTs have quit this account they obviously couldn't survive by working on it either.  The company obviously knows this.  I think they should be willing to pay more for doing it - and it sounds like by complementing you they are hoping you will feel appreciated and keep doing it.  Done that many times myself.  I have a too extreme desire to be appreciated, and I've had to learn to put that aside and make sure I can survive and pay the bills.  Even though I've worked for many great companies with very nice people, if it's a lousy account it just doesn't work. 

I say keep looking for a better account, either where you are or elsewhere.

greatest!  Hated to hear that he had left.  We got some real doozies for tech help now.  The MT ends up training them.  They are clueless as to what to do when we need help.  TRUTH!

They ALWAYS have a BAD attitude in their voice, too -- like we MT's are a bother to them -- thought that is what they get paid for.

of this person's capacity for selflessness and generosity, to the point of putting herself last in an effort to achieve many goals and in the face of adversities I wouldn't wish on the harshest critics here (although youse guys are tempting me!).  If you didn't cut with through her, there is a reason for that and I know her employer cuts to the chase much more deftly than you would be able to withstand so I know she backs this recruiter 100%.  They both can run circles around you.  You have no idea how tightly knit some MTSOs are and the ones here bad mouthing this person won't stand a chance getting a job in certain places if their lives depended on it.

Go sell crazy somewhere else.

but was anal retentive when it came to punctuation.  You would have a report with 10 blanks in it because of poor sound quality, and he wouldn't fill in one blank, but he had put commas all throughout your report, or taken apostrophes out, etc. and he wasn't correct in his punctuation a lot of the time.   Several of the MTs complained about him and asked to not have him do their QA, so he was demoted from QA to an MT.  Well, as I said earlier, he couldn't fill in a blank.  I saw a couple of his reports and there was blank after blank in reports that I had no trouble with at all.  He also didn't proof his reports because he would have inapproriate/incorrect expansions in them.  Not sure if he left on his own, or didn't really have a choice.  Anyway, talk to your supervisor.  Maybe this person is just on a power trip, knows you are new and wants to train you to do it her way, even if your way isn't incorrect.  I think punctuation is a valid issue, but if it doesn't change the integrity of the report and there are no other errors it shouldn't be flagged by QA.    You could also take into account her corrections and maybe try to use a few more commas, etc. and that might help.
