I goes along with when I was in 8th grade

I had to count change back.  There was no register that I plugged in 5 dollars and came up with the correct amount of change.  Go to a store now, and if the register malfunctions, the cashier is clueless!  HELLO??????  It's not just this profession, it is any profession that has automated the parameters for which we produce the product or do the job. 

I used books, I still use books, and use the H8LL out of google!  But, if I still cannot come up with the correct term or if I am the last bit unsure, I send it to QA because that's what the company wants.  On the norm, many years ago, I'd go straight to the horse's mouth which was the dictator.  We do not have that luxury of learning in this day and age.  I have also seen where QA people guess or just simply take the word out or I never ever see that document again to even learn from it.  I have 20 years in this business.  I have my own accounts.  No one should be shot down for not being sure.  This is the medical profession. 

Many people have different skill sets.  Maybe the newer MTs are taught never to guess as I was taught which is best.  Let's not kid.  QA:  If you don't like your job, get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just typed 300 lines in a half hour, which is something that could NEVER happen at MDI-MD, so I have no problem whatsoever making the grade as you put it.

Jeez, why can't you MDI cheerleaders just accept that not everyone thinks your company is the absolute greatest.  Seems like anytime anyone posts an experience with your company that was negative, you people jump all over them and can't seem to accept it for some reason. 

It's obvious that MDI only takes care of a select few MTs and everybody else is expendable, so I don't know why it's so hard for you to believe that not everybody has the same experience as you.  It's a real shame that they operate in this manner, but I don't care anymore as I've moved on to much better things and found MDI to be nothing but a waste of time.  Excuse me, while I make my true 40+ an hour. 

is not the case.  There are some that will rip you off, change your pay, etc. like one mentioned above on this board.  There are other evil ones who will intimidate to get their work done and others who will tell you how fantastic you are and give raises.

Anyway, I've worked for enough companies and found a world of difference and found some companies to be intolerable.

Can't anyone give the OP the names of any companies?  They aren't asking for a psychology lesson, they are looking to make a paycheck.
