Why do MTs who are paid by the hour cherrypick the normals off accounts.
Line counts shouldn't be that important to them.
TT is nice, they don't micromanage
That is the whole gist of TT. They treat you like a human being instead of a number. Unfortunately they are too nice and too many things go unnoticed and/or uncorrected. And it isn't always easy to make a good line count.
Well, don't know about the micromanage part. They

Pay is good but they micromanage
phone calls, instant message, emails etc.
You are so right on . . . micromanage just like the BIG companies, i.e.,
Way too many supervisors who take the good work and pass the worst along to their MT's. Way too many in mgmt positions now.
Just send out email to all of us to email this person each and every time you do not get your lines per hour, etc, and give the reason. So ridiculous. Really not enough to do for mgmt team anymore. Way too top heavy now. Used to be a GREAT company, but must say it is not the same company I started with and not for the good.
The biggest problem within the past year is no work/low work much too often and their persistent hiring of new sups who know NOTHING about the account, and also hiring account managers who know NOTHING about the account . . . seems to find a mgmt position for those people are just not valuable enough anywhere else.
S ad . . . but true.
Are there any companies who do not micromanage you to death?
I am a good MT, produce high line counts, am reliable, yet the company I work for insists on micrmanaging us all to death. I just want to produce excellent work and be left alone to do so. Is that too much to ask these days? 
Posts from Aug. say hounded by phone calls all day, micromanage your time, and

I can handle micromanage and cherries, but its the bill collectors I want to stay away
You see, to me it is more than worrying about micromanaging and cherry picking. I have been in the biz long enough to develop a rough skin. It is when I do not have enough money to pay the rent or car which bothers me. So, I take the shift least wanted b/c there will be work there, I allow micromanaging and say I will do better next time, and I learn all the toughest ESLs without complaint. You see, no one can control another person, and one should know no job is perfect out there. The only thing a person can and should do is mature-up, quit whining, and get to work so the roof stays overhead, the pantry has milk and bread and the car is still outside. Of course, that is my 2.5 cents.
