on already and take our accounts back from Transcend.  I haven't signed any noncompete contract with Transcend.  Would the MDI one be null and void? If my pay rate is null and void, so must my noncompete.  They can't have it both ways.

that the post is pretty effectively being buried alive.  I was replying to the OP about no work.  TT was so different back in 2002 or 2003 (whichever, I forget) when I first went to work for them.  It was pretty much like the good ole days.  It started downhill about 2005 (I think it was) and I'm glad I'm not there anymore to witness any more decline.  I have to say that I didn't stay out of work long, I'm not one to put up with any nonsense and if I had stayed on I would probably have been dead by now from getting so angry I would either have had a heart attack or a stroke.

My grandkids are visiting and they sleep late so I can't really start any activities until they get up.  When I saw the no work again, I just tripped out for a minute.  At the end even the Big Q never treated me so shabbily.  I just reckoned people had a right to some information and I felt like giving it.  I appreciate the kind words.  I would never mislead anyone.  I know of several companies and people who work for them that are much better if you want to remain healthy and not stress to death day in and day out.  I know of one who has someone I know well working for them that gets a bad rap here but she has worked for them more than 10 years, gets paid way above average and never runs out of work, in fact they are on OT at the moment.  She says she got into trouble for taking off early from her shift without telling them recently, apparently they are sticklers about that, but she wouldn't consider working anywhere else. I won't give any names, not sure it is allowed and anyhow, anyone interested can do their research.  If a company wouldn't give me a pay range I would not take their test either.  If they won't give you a range then it's a pretty safe bet they pay peanuts.

It just really pains me for you folks who are sitting around waiting for a job to dribble in. I have trained many MTs in my career and so I care deeply for MTs, whether or not I personally know them.

I'm just saying there are other companies out there who pay well, don't run out of work and respect their MTs as TT used to do.

As for the excuses for running out of work and, yes, I got the emails whether or not I was out of work myself.  The funniest I ever saw was that it had been MLK Day, as if that was a major holiday.  LOL   Major holidays have always been slow but it seems now grandparents day is a major holiday.  LOL

Sooooo......I wish the best for all of you.  Don't sell yourselves short, you deserve better.  The grandkids will be going home right after the 4th and so I'll probably disappear again.

My best to all of you.

both sides have been running a little low, may be due to the emphasis on tight turnaround time.

them. I would assume the accounts are on 12, 24 or 48 TAT but wouldnt they love having their work back no sooner than it is dictated.

this sudden embracing of offshoring came immediately after it became public that Transcend is now offshoring?  First, it seemed that the posters who said this weren't believed and proof was requested.  Then came the sudden embrace of offshoring.  I've noticed other posts on this board where there seemed to be preference shown to Transcend for some unknown reason.

Maybe, rather than lowering standards and doing all this embracing, -- just MAYBE -- it might be time to come clean and just admit that a company might not be as great as some people think it is and that maybe -- just MAYBE -- unhappy employees of that company who posted here in the past were telling the truth, like myself, only to have my honesty questioned by the administrator, who then went on to track the ISP numbers of the people who also expressed their problems with the company.

Now if I'm banned for noticing and expressing this, then that only proves to speak louder than this post ever could.

I am disappointed in CyMed.  They don't pay for spaces and it is very, very hard to get a line count for me.

Has anyone noticed that lately, once an MT has signed the offer papers for a company to be an employee, (that is formally accepts offer), the wind turns cold? Lack of communication all of a sudden, no updates on training, late training, late equipment and the like?  This MT has had this happen on at least 2 occasions of late.  The first time, ignored and put up with it.  Stayed with company. Okay job but not much work.  Now, same thing again, miscommunications re: start date, difficulty getting anything pinned down.  The other day this MT was highly regarded, now the papers are signed and seems like all of a sudden this MT is in the way.

Deciding to stay with original company and stick things out. But just got an odd feeling about it all. Don't have any bad references, or bad work history... anybody else getting the cold shoulder? Just wondering if just becuase I'm paranoid does mean they are not interested in me. LOL. Thanks in advance for your comments. :)

It is like it flew over the Bermuda Triangle.  It disappeared. 

place was crawling with KS people who were delighted to share their joy with their jobs when they stopped by on their coffee breaks. Now you can hardly raise a response. Guess the advertising campaign was successfu and terminated?
