Not at all. I just think she has a lot of nerve (sm)
when she left with her tail between her legs. Does she think we don't all know that she was fired from L&H?
You have a lot of nerve!
No, it is NOT just because we lost our jobs that it matters. I can only speak for myself, but as a single mom to 4 children, 3 with special needs (read premature quadruplets, one of whom died)I had to support my family with an income and with health insurance that I could afford and Heartland offered that. No, that is not a good excuse to have made the decision to work for a company that participates in offshoring, however, when it means being able to put food on the table and have my 3 survivors get the medical care they require, I did what I had to do. My point now is, it is time to wake up (myself included) and stand up for what is right. The future of my income and insurance remains to be seen. I see now first hand what kind of an effect this has on the American worker and the American economy. Who knows, maybe I will not be able to afford insurance at another company, maybe I will have to take my children to the emergency room as an uninsured child. How do you think that makes me feel as a parent? What kind of effect does that have on the system?
Just because a company offshores their work, does not mean that you sit around day in and day out and say, Gee, I wonder if I am going to be layed off today. I have worked hard for Heartland, giving them many hours of overtime and fill in time for people who were sick, etc. They had a choice. They could have shut down the typing machines in India and kept the US medical transcriptionists, granted at a higher cost per transcriptionist, but they could have chosen to take the operating costs from the Indian side and applied it to the American side to run the operation. You get what you pay for and in this case, what you don't.
We are human beings just like you, trying to survive in this economy like it is and always trying to put our children's needs ahead of ourselves and yes, sometimes ahead of what we believe in.
Thanks, because I am on my last nerve.
resumes today, and all I can here are the crickets chirping in the background, and all I can see is my workload at a total of 0 jobs. Again. I feel like I am a dead weight to my family. Ugggg.
the nerve
What is this new trend by the MTSOs to pay less in the training period? If anything, that is when you need MORE money. I am starting to feel gouged and pecked by all these creative ways they find to skim off the fat, and I have no intention of ever applying to any such companies who think so low of us.
I am sorry I hit a nerve, ooops.
oooops
struck a nerve
Wow, I would definitely say I struck some nerves today. My point I'm trying to make is even though your office is at home, you are AT home, OT or regular hours. Yes you like to spend time with your family but if you had OT at an actual office they wouldn't even get to see you. At least with your office at home you can say hi, answer questions, give some hugs. If you're sick you may not want to be in your office at home, but at least you can throw on a pair of sweats and not have to look nice to complete your job. No gas money to spend, no money for clothes, no travel time to and from work away from your family.
hmmm hit a nerve?
  looked again didn't ya? it makes me laugh
Didn't mean to strike a nerve.
or voicewriter to work for Keystrokes by the recruiter. I just left a big company in Wisconsin. I couldn't get over 900 lines a day because of filling in their DI screen and here it's Christmas. Gimme a break.
Apparently I've hit a nerve.

I can't wait until you fall on your face. The nerve of you sm
to think you are better than someone else. You are pathetic. Nothing will come good out of that statment mark my word.
Sorry. No nerve struck. Just my bad post-Thanksgiving pre-Christmas stressed
out mood.
Give me one too! Imagine the nerve of them expecting you to work your shift.
LOL
