I try and try and can barely do 200 lph with TT. Used to do 300+.
and it's not because they're all ESL. Something else and I don't know what.
barely at 800 a day after 8 months
and keep hearing promise of help... but the platforms are nasty... I need to move on.. but none of the other companies out there sound much better
Uh, not at Axolotl right now I don't. Barely
mention spouting all the facts, and I know most others on my team have no clue either, so I again am amazed at your talent for spouting facts that most of us don't know anymore, since things changed so much. I work with a lot of great smart gals, so I don't think its just us. Glad you're one of the few on the ball, but most of us aren't. Confusing enough figuring out how to change our personal health choices, let alone knowing what the entire company offers everyone.

Barely any work
I have to work for 2 companies at the same time, because of the lack of work. Has anyone else faced this problem?
Seems like it's barely a 35-hr week as it is due to
lack of work. Looks like we all need a 2nd job. They have always overhired for the 5 or so years I've worked there.
Really?? I've barely ever heard of them. nm

barely making a living
Used to make a decent living but lately (past 2 years) have not. Major pay cuts in all 3 jobs (per diem to hourly and page count to line count) and big expense of benefits for single mom and 2 kids.
I sort of lost all my incentive and feel very used. Thought my salary would increase over the years (or at least stay the same), not decrease. Keep trying to get motivated but can't seem to get there.
I am currently employed by a national, benefits are $550 a month and I have no control over how my lines are being calculated, plus it is on a 74 character line, not even 65 so my lines in my pay are way lower that what the company is calculating already.
Recently tested and interviewed with another national but they pay per page (which was way less than my page rate 10 years ago) and beneftis were more than $600 a month.
Any suggestions and ways to get motivated again would be appreciated.
You've barely scratched the
surface with one of those match box schools. You would still need Andrews or MTec, but like some others, I think this is a risky field to invest in at this point. I believe coding has more of a future. Andrews teaches that.
Oh, but its OK that the MTs barely make living wages?
Shall we feel sorry for the poor MTSOs now? Please...buying meat past the expiration - most of this winter I had to hit the FOOD BANKS, and while working full time.
Not so. Can barely get 9 cents directly from the doctor!
Doctors see all these Indian companies offering 6 cpl, balk at 9 to 10 cpl, and they want it printed, free courier service, ect.
Offshore can barely do good dictators, which is why

9 cpl barely passable if an employee with bennies, but -
if you're an IC, don't forget you have to buy your own health insurance, no PTO days, and you have to own & maintain your own equipment. If it were me, I'd be asking 12 cpl, might (just MIGHT) settle for 11 cpl for the right employer, if the accounts are good line-producers.
My accounts have barely any work today.
I've managed 2 small jobs so far today. My account had picked up for about 2 days and actually had a good backlog, but then it was bombarded by MTs instructed to go there, so completely wiped out and nothing left for the primaries. And I see instructions for other MTs to come here for part of their lines again today as well, which means the primaries on my account have to fight them for work again. If my husband hadn't just had his hours cut also, I'd consider just taking a week off and getting stuff done, since I'm mostly wasting time babysitting my computer that I could put to more productive use elsewhere.
They have the accounts set up so that we can BARELY get our minimum lines required in.
If I want to camp out for 15 hours a day as I wait for work to trickle in I can make more. :-(
My husband has been on STRIKE for almost four months and we are barely getting by!! The union made
big promises and all I can say is we have lost our job! We are struggling to get by! If you go on strike and do WITHOUT you will see what I mean!
