services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational.  ALL software has its share of problems.  It's the nature of the business.  When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO?  If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement?  Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?

My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete.  It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.

All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions.  If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it.  If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on.  However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt.  While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.

Good Luck!

with them? I would like to apply there. Do they have a website where I can fill out an application?

Thanks, Dorothy

Apparently they are growing beyond their office staff and don't want people calling them unless it is an emergency and they aren't quick to answer emails.  I am not trying to start anything but seriously want to know the best way to get in touch with them where I can get a response in a timely manner.  I am interested in going to work for them after hearing all the good things.

When you are sitting and typing and all of the sudden something is being typed in your computer while you watch, you wouldn't either! 

surgery and am very picky about keyboards.  I was pleasantly surprised that the one they went (Dell) had such a light touch. 

Congrats on the job - I think you'll be very happy. 

Bad sound quality, technical problems, no expander, full editing, half pay.  No thanks. I'm on my way out after 4 years.

I'm no happier about these changes than anyone else.  I'm glad I never gave the extra help like so many others.  I basically worked my lines and that was it.  If I worked any extra it was because I wanted to, not because I felt I had to.  When I left the Q, I decided to never give myself like that again. 

I'm still here but I don't know for how long.  I've been looking at other positions and trying to get a plan B and C in place.  In addition to MTing, I'm also looking into a few office jobs that are going to be available soon in my area.  I hate the thought of going back to work in an office and finding childcare for my kids in the summer, but I will not take a paycut for Transcend or anyone else.  I also will not sit and wait for work.  I didn't do it for MDI or MQ and I won't do it for anyone else. 

I'm looking out for #1.  That's what the MTSOs do, so that's what I'm doing.  I don't really feel one way or the other about the merger.  I don't like the fact that I'm looking at starting a new job, but that's life.  It goes on with or without me and I prefer to be a part of it. 

I didn't even know gourds were edible.  We love eggplant parmesan which I make and freeze every year for ready-made dinners when I don't feel like cooking.
