Is this OSI? Figures
They will promote anybody if they are a friend.
it figures
Is that the only thing people come on this board, to insult and correct other peoples English/grammar skills? I was making a point, I did not write my posting to get my writing skills graded by you. I am not a journalism major. The company sucks, they are a bunch of sexually frustrated snotty bitches that hate thier job and its obvious to me. Its also obvious to me who you are.
Figures....
Probably an intimidation strategy to try to stop MTs from warning each other about the company. Sounds like she operates very similar to the postings I've read about Toth.

Can you block her from your email? I probably just wouldn't even bother to open anything from her, since she obviously doesn't have anything of interest to say.


That figures
I finally find a company I like working for with decent dictators and they are laying people off. I haven't even been with Breitner a year so I have no seniority. I thought they were getting new accounts but I guess I better start looking again.
That figures

They actually called me to work for them.  I took the test and passed.  Then never heard back from them despite me calling to get voicemail and emailing with no response.  But just the other day they called me, SURPRISE !!! and we could not work out a schedule for me to work.  Every schedule I gave them would not work because I need to work a split shift on Sunday and different times during the week.  I've been in MT for 5 years and I never had an experience like that before with scheduling.  Now that don't have work, seems its the trend nowadays.  I'll keep working part time where I'm at now with NO WORK or all VR in the poor house until I figure out about going back to school or hopefull I can find a halfway decent job and get out of MT altogether.


Your figures
I think there is something wrong in the figures you give:

You said: I make .075 cpl. New ISR rate for me 0.46875 (less than 5 cpl). 11001 lines at my current rate = $1045.09 ---- 11001 lines at my new ISR rate = $735.69

The change in the new ISR rate is off your base line rate, not your current ISR rate. I can't get this to look anywhere close to what I figured for my own pay, and I used similar numbers for lines.

Check if you are figuring correctly. It may not make you feel all that much better, but who knows... Maybe it's not as bad as you thought.

That figures. I just resigned from MD-IT 1.5 wks ago. nm

Who figures out the difficulty premium

 see in the packet about difficulty premium and pay, but is every single dictator being assessed and listened to somehow and who is determining the difficulty?


No where in the post did I say that the figures were IDEAL.

LOL, it figures YOU would rear your head
I'll get to work as soon as my shift starts.

I wouldn't want to start earlier than scheduled and 'steal' any of YOUR work, lololololol!!!!!!

Have a lovely green-tinged day, oh jealous one.
My figures exactly, and I have to work longer to achieve

About money, line rate is one thing, but hourly figures are another sm
Traditional: 8.5 cents per line. Top out at 225. $19.25 an hour.

Speech: 4.5 cents per line. Top out at 500. $22.50 an hour.

I split between the two and right now, that is running $700 a week or $36K a year. Not a huge salary, I know, but more than I made 10 years ago.

Could I push harder? Sure, but I don't need the money because I have structured my life so that I only need 1/2 my income to live on and I live alone. I like the part about not being exhausted on my days off, about being able to give up a terrible PT job, and having time to paint AND be able to have expensive, high-quality art supplies.

I am happy as a clam and I do not think that VR will take my job!!!! My only worry right now is that my painting is taking off with art shows, commissions and internet sales. I won't be able to work full time as an MT if this keeps up, and I know it will. I love being an MT and when it ends in favor of my artwork, I will be joyous over one and very much saddened over the other. It is and has been a wonderful career for me.
