it's nice to have fans... usually, my only friends are pills.  oh, and pie.

However, when I read posts such as your's I shake my head sadly.  I've lived a fairly long time, long enough that I have a HEART and a SOUL (which belongs to Jesus Christ).  I've worked hard all my life and I have never failed to stand up for what I believed to be right nor have I ever failed to work to correct things that I felt were WRONG.  The way these MDI people have been dumped is heavy on my heart.  If I could start a business and pay them all what I'm sure they are worth, I would do so in a heartbeat.  Unfortunately it is too late for anyone to get into the MTSO business unless they have a boat load of money, which I don't. 

There is nothing that can be done to reverse technology and that in and of itself is not a bad thing.  The BAD thing is the people who are struggling to try to make a living with the paycut of approximately 50% for doing VR.  The most DISGRACEFUL thing is that here in America where we have people taking pay cuts, losing their jobs, losing their homes, going bankrupt because of offshoring and nobody seems to care.  They say there aren't enough qualified MTs in this country.  I say hogwash.  There may NOT be enough seasoned MTs who are willing to work for slave labor wages but there are enough MTs. 

I know that I cannot change things myself.  When and if enough American people wake up and smell the coffee and let the politicians know we aren't going to take it anymore, perhaps the jobs will be brought back to this country where they belong.

As for you, stillmting, I feel very, very sorry for you.  You know that old wheel?  The one that goes around and then comes around?  Watch out for it.

things have gotten worse since I left. Which is hard to believe!

Not all companies are like Heartland. Best of luck to you.

Asked to test for this company. Is this a good company to work for, plenty of work, pay on time, etc.? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I don' t work for First Choice, but I applied and passed the test. I was contacted by the recruiter to set up an interview. The very next day she told me all the accounts were caught up, and she couldn't hire me at this time. I thought that was a little odd.

I worked at that place for several years, they go through more changes than anywhere I ever worked.  You rarely get to stay on one account and they do not give you anything except for do more, do more.  The only way to get anywhere with that company is to kiss butt and give until it hurts. 

I have to say, if you go to TRS you will be feeling like you are in haties before long.  Consider yourself warned they are NOT the employer of the year like their president and vice president would like to believe they are, they will cheat you out of your life if you let them. 

Working at McDonald's selling hamburbers is a fantastic step up from TRS. 

1st:  Good about co. outweighed by bad comments here.  Ex-Text, acute care, flexible schedule, FT status but can be done in less than 8 hours if work completed, nice pay.  CONS:  Can't talk to lead until I am in.  If holidays fall on your reg. work day, you work 'em.  Unsure of how long it will take to get lines in.  New to Ex-Text.  Don't really want full-time but that's all they offer.  Got them to at least offer flexible and can stop when lines are done.

2nd:  Very good co. way far outweighed by bad comments here.  Possible LD (unsure of exact acct at this point), SE status, acute care, paid per line, done when lines are in for the day, excellent pay.   CONS:  Must have a set schedule (per me, not them) turned in ahead of time - up to 2 months (huge con for me), work a few holidays per year.

I know I have to pick what is right for me but I do enjoy other's comments for something I might not have thought of.  Not new to the business - been around for over 20 years.  Thanks!
