this Cindy-person's last name. You can E/M me if you want, in fact, I'd prefer it that way. I worked for a Psycho Maniac named Cindy before, and wonder if they're the same person!

gapeachxx@yahoo.com...thanks a bunch!

Thank you for mentioning things in your latest post that you left out of your first.  See how easily one can jump to conclusions?

For what it is worth, I ran my own daycare for 10 years.  I know EXACTLY what it is like to be the one responsible for every aspect of running a business day in and day out, when people don't show up or go to lunch and don't come back, having to meet laws from varies state agencies that are contrary to one another and smile the whole time.  I've started work at 5 in the morning and finished at 9 at night (while trying to raise my own two young children).  I know what it is like to cook for 95 kids EVERY day for a year because I couldn't keep good help.  I know that until I converted all my private investment into a nonprofit organization, I could not achieve the success with my business that I was able to do.  Imagine working for 10 years and having NOTHING left of it but a good reputation, no retirement plan, no assests, nada, because the effects you left on people and the benefits you offered were worth all of it.  Would you be willing to do that?  Not many would, I bet.

When you want to yell at me some more and show your true colors, you will turn away the good MTs whom you were trying to entice in your original post.  See how easy it was to fly off the handle.

I do wish your business well, but I stand by what I said.  I save you money by working from home and doing what I do.  Every year I get devalued by the onslaught of forces I cannot control.  If you want to toot your own horn, I would suggest a marketing consultation next time.

Peace.

I work for a smaller MT company who, like the employer of the previous poster, seems to want to keep their MTs in the dark about what's going on behind the scenes. However, reading between the lines and according to the grapevine our company recently was apparently outsourcing some work to the Philippines, and apparently, when the hospital found out, they were livid! The MTs were also upset, as this was one of our best accounts, the kind that make the other slog work worthwhile - and they handed it over to the Philippines...well, recently, we all of a sudden had a whole lot of this account's work available once again - my guess is, no more Philippines! I hope this means the hospital issued an ultimatum - and this means they appreciate our work and understand that you get what you pay for.

to stop whining because we haven't tried the new platform yet. I have been using the platform for a year. I just got done doing a report that STILL required extensive editing, and lucky me, I am going to be paid even less!  After a year, I repeat, a year, this wonderful magical ISR is still making the same errors that I have to correct over and over and over and over, day after day. I certainly do not see where that is productive. For example, it puts 5 to 0 nylon for 5-0 nylon. How many times should you have to correct that for it to finally learn? I have made that correction hundreds of times, and it still doesn't get it.  It leaves out whole chunks of sentences and doesn't even get words that are perfectly clear. Some reports turn out good, some are complete garbage. My production has increased a little, but no where near what they claimed. 

So stop telling me to calm down and give it a chance. I have given it a chance. I will be very interested in what you think of it after you have used it for awhile.

At least the Enterprise people have some glimmer of hope that maybe it won't be a cut in pay for you, but for me, it was most definitely a cut in pay.

in my post above.

Yes, I knew going in that I wouldn't get any PTO for a year.  I made the mistake of thinking in terms of "vacation," never thinking I'd need it as backup for all the system problems.

And, yes, I knew the problem wasn't the sound card, and I'm very glad that others are backing me up on this, acknowledging that it's a company-wide problem with the platform.  It's not always all the MT's fault.

I was only trying to tell the poster to think long and hard.  Accepting a new job is a big decision to make.

I'm not the owner.  I'm an employee.  And if it appears that I'm touchy, it's because I know for a fact that one of TC's ex-employees has done nothing but trash the company, to the point where I had to stop communicating with her because I was tired of hearing non-stop negativity, when she didn't even work there any more.  Maybe you're not that person; maybe you are.

Either way, it's a good, solid company, and potential employees shouldn't be scared away by negative posts concerning it.

Have a nice day.

I used to be QA for another company, and when you have to tell the same person the same thing over and over again, you do get annoyed, and maybe it comes out.  Can't really say, cause I've never had that problem with them.  I do know many of you on this board and others don't like to be told you are doing ANYTHING wrong, so I can only imagine.
