I love it. I flex and go with the flow. It's refreshing to know we can make up time and hours when it gets busy.

After working for a place that had no work for days on end and getting deeper into a hole while that company kept telling me the work would pick up (which it never did), I finally left. This company never let you make up hours. What you got, you got.

I ran out of work yesterday and today on my accounts for the first time since the July 4th holiday, but only have a couple hours to make up and I will do that.

I'm tired of the TT bashing, too. They're a great company. No complaints from me...EVER.  They bend over backwards to keep everybody happy, but you can never please some people. I think those people wouldn't be happy if they didn't have anything to complain about.

If no one likes it, they can leave. It leaves more work for me and I'll gladly take it.

I am relatively happy with my situation.  I am sorry that you took it as whining.  Hope you have a happy day.

I would take this as a gross insult if I had 1 year of experience, and I hope this is for VR.  Any MT even considering such an offer, either:

1.  Is in very dire straits, financially.  2. Doesn't value herself very much.  3. Is doing her fellow MTs, and herself/himself a great disservice.  All this abuse of MTs by the companies is done for one reason:  BECAUSE THEY CAN. (We let them).

probably aren't licking the stamps as they just peel and stick them now. 

others who work for the same company.  Working at home can feel kind of isolating at times.  I do not miss the commute to work, scraping ice off of my car in the winter, backstabbing, gossip, etc., but I sometimes do miss the social aspects of working in an office.   I guess my viewpoint is, things are what you make them to be. 

I love Transtech and have been a cheerleader for a long time, even to the point of being accused of being management.  They have stuck with me through some bad times on my end, and I have no intention of dumping them through these bad times now, although I have gotten a couple of other jobs.  With the holidays coming up, especially, it may take all 3 to make ends meet and maybe have a few extras, but that is just part of life.   

Since you are not having any problems expressing yourself with management and don't feel it is an issue, discuss it with management.  Ask them if it is appropriate for you to work your schedule around your lifestyle if it differs from the one you have already committed to.  Ask them if it will cause a problem for production or account management if you don't show up to work when they expected you to, even if the volume is high, because then some of the work you say came in the morning and didn't get done until the afternoon might possibly have gone out of TAT.  That is exactly what management is trying to avoid and that is exactly what management was talking about when they sent out the company-wide email discussing this very issue you say that you can get away with.  Why is it that you can get away with it, but others are sent emails specifically instructed not to do this if it isn't a problem?

I didn't post to cause an argument. I just posted to begin with because there is obviously a discrepancy with what some can do and what others can't, and what may be a wonderful experience for others within the company doesn't always ring true with everyone and should not be dismissed or eluded to as simply not true.  If the sun is shining outside your front window, it doesn't mean it's shining outside mine.  But just because it's raining, it doesn't mean I'm going to pack up and move either.  I'm going to wait for the rain to stop and in the meantime hopefully be allowed to speak about it raining without others saying it's not true.

I was feeling the same way...so, I did what I felt I needed to do.  I talked to someone in the management position about all the things I have read on here.  I WA sick of all endless chatter about how awful OSi is.  I feel that I did the right thing, as I no longer have that "sick" feeling.  I have been reassured and I know that my job will be here for as long as I wish to work at OSi.  Another suggestion I can give is to stay away from MTStars.  It is nothing but a bunch of lies and gossip.  These people thrive on making others miserable and lying about other companies just to make them look bad.  More than likely, the ones downing OSi have had past employment and were unable to make it and now are holding a grudge.  You know who I mean, the petty ones...and you all know who you are.  I don't know about the rest of you, but I passed third grade a long time ago, why do I feel like I am right back there when I read this board? 

So, if I haven't quieted your fears, talk to someone in authority at OSi.  If you don't like what you hear, then you can move on to wherever you feel you need to go.  Hopefully it won't be MTStars.
