>Or to take a line from one of my favorite songs, the grass is always greener where the dogs are sh*tting. (Oops, can I do that here?? lol) <

That's brilliant! What song is that?

Thanks for all your info. For me, getting my own accounts would just be about the money, and you're right - that doesn't seem like enough reason! (Oh, and the fact that it would sound more impressive when I talked to people - again, not a good enough reason). It never occurred to me it would make you socially outcast.

Wouldn't it be interesting if MTSOs - had a board they could come to
- MT VERSUS MTSO - Auntdee
  - I'd hire you in a NY minute. nm - MTSO
- They have our resumes, see our work during testing and - and check our references DUH!!!
  - Time to jump in here. Some MTs test well, interview well, only put references on there - MTSO
    - Just to clarify, I wrote the first few MTSO posts - First "MTSO"
    - While I do not debate that this does happen. sm - Okay
      - Amen!!!!! - Brother Ben
- Are u crazy? - It is not a matter of loyalty
  - Not so sure many MTs are not hanging themselves - - no name, no state
    - My big beef (sm) - fuzz5
      - Yes, experience does not always equal quality work! - busytyping
      - What makes me mad? sm - wmx
        If you're referring to me...(sm) - fuzz5
        So do I. nm - wmx
        Er, maybe I was being paranoid, sorry (mm) - fuzz5
- Well for one thing, it would not be a professional thing - My opinion
  - Being a job hopper does not make you look like..sm - MTSO
    - Being able to do anything thrown at you - Milton's Red Stapler
      - job hopper - ILMT
      - It's like they cheated the work out of you (sm) - fuzz5
        TOO much information, fuzz. I suggest you read sm - Webmedxer
        Huh? Moderator, what's your opinion? (sm) - fuzz5
        No, I was referring to the Webmedx Policy Manual. sm - Webmedexer
        I think she is referring to company policies not the policies on this board. sm - Just a friendly headsup.
      - Here, here, I agree. At one time, I was even accussed of holding MY templates hostage. Templates - I brought with me to the company. nm
    - Job hopping - We don't job hop on a whim
      - Also want to add, why should an MT stay at a co. that is always out of work. Sitting and waiting - doesn't pay the bills. nm
        All MTSOs will be out of work at - one time or another.
        Yes, there is such an animal. I work for a small co and have as much work as I want. Have - read similar posts about other companies. nm
        Ummm...no. Obviously not. - MTSO
    - To: MTSO - what you may not know.
      - Oh, I fact check their resumes. And you are right.. - MTSO
        I agree with you - I have 2 different MT jobs - on my resume in the last 2 years
      - a resume would still be more reliable - than anonymous words on a message board DUH!!!!!
        My what a vocabulary you have! - !!!
  - You are taking my post a little too seriously - orig. poster
    - Yes, the point was missed. And we MTSOs DO ... - sm
    - You are being hypothetical while we are trying to find a co. where we can make a decent living,,,,nm - Go waste your time elsewhere.
      - You are also being hypothetical - ...
        You have no idea what you are talking about. My income tax return says I am making a good living - at home. What is hypothetical about that? nm
    - show me the humor! Show me the humor! - Oh so that is what satire looks like!
      - What I was thinking! - Exactly
- I do believe your loyalty is displaced. No MTSO or national are loyal to MTs - Loyal One
  - why speak of loyalty when as MTs - we are mostly treated shabbily
    - You are employed by the wrong company - Find one who will treat you right! (nm)
    - Re-read my post - that was my point! nm - Loyal One
- No one job hops just for the heck of it. sm - Get real.

- If half of these companies were worth - jobhoppinmama
