you are fired for something that is in the handbook (rule, regulation), and you have been warned accordingly as stated in the handbook, that you could not get unemployment unless employer just did not bother disputing the claim.  My example would be... if the handbook says you cannot be absent more than 3 times in one month and you are absent four, you can be terminated without being eligible for unemployment.  Having worked for Spheris, I know they do send out communication when you miss line count.  All that said,  I would file the claim anyway... ya never know, Spheris may not even dispute it.

they will be cutting MTs who don't meet quality and who send too much to QA.  I hope I'm not one of them.  My second thought is that they may have to cut line rates or lay off MTs.  I also noticed where it sounded like some accounts may be dropped because of expense.  My only comfort in this email is the fact that it went to all employees, not just MTs. 

WOW -- this came as a total shock to me.  My lunch is now sitting in my stomach like a pile of dung.  Not a good feeling. 

Someone please hurry up and fix this economy!

another service because MQ only wants DQS clients and does not want to continue with the others like MTS, etc

Sometimes we MTs have tunnel vision about a job and will persevere until we get it, thinking we are getting what we want, only to realize that the warning signs were there from the get-go. 

If a company is rude to begin with, there is no logic in thinking it is going to get better after you are hired.  I now listen to my gut (a show on Discovery Channel pontificated that we have a *second brain* there, a warning brain) and see with my eyes what is real and what is rose-colored.  Those *funny feelings* about things are there to keep us from making mistakes.  Listen to them. 

And I hope you find a soft place to land. 

Feeling just like you.  Look at the ones who complain about working weekends - how many medical professionals do you know that don't have to work weekends?  Why are they in this field if they don't want to work weekends?  It's a pity trip.  How about working in retail or restaurants?? You want a 9-5 job, go get it, away from home of course.

Would like to talk privately but I don't spend much time on this board and don't really know how to do so.  Let me know if you do!

I'm torn on this issue.  My company has just strictly forbidden us to use normals unless they were created by the client, since apparently some MT's have left text in the document in error by not editing correctly.  I can see how this causes a serious QA issue, but I can also see that my pay just got cut seriously yet again by not being able to use them.

So, what' s the answer here?  How does your MTSO handle normals/standards, and what happens if you make an error with one?

MTs!! Its your responsibility to divide up the work, and sorry, but most MTSOs I have dealt with have asked me to commit to XX amount of work. They know full well that is all I can handle due to MY other commitments, yet the MTSOs are more than happy to have me at my commitment of XX. That is OUR agreement. I am an IC and on my own. So it is not my problem if Sally has an earache or Dr. Jones has extra work. That is YOUR problem. MTSOs should ASK if we can handle more due to the above situation, but when MTs get dumped on with 2 or 3 times the amount of the agreement, it is WRONG, and very frustrating for the MTs. Thus why most quit and move on to a MTSO who will keep the agreement. Its only common sense, really. Which seems to be a lot to ask for in this day and age.

You should have a payroll account.  Any business person knows that you must have an account to pay out subcontractors.  My brother pays his subs (painting contractor) every week.  He doesn't see his payments for work done until sometimes 90 days, but why then should his subs wait? 

If you want to run a business, you must have a payroll account and not rely on what the client pays to you and when. 

If you do not have the capital, then quit using subcontractors thinking you are making a buck.  Do your own work! 

Just yet another view. 

your posts, management, supervisors, etc., etc., BUT anyone who Googles your name or anything associated with your post.  I have even gotten onto boards that are subscription only by Googling words and posts showed up on their boards.  True, I may not have been able to post on that board, but I sure could read whatever was associated with my search results. 

because this was my company being owed $10,000, which was at the time about 6 weeks' worth of work.  It was easy at that time to rack up that kind of money...that is also about the time I found out that a company has 30 days to pay another company each individual invoice.  I was billing, per contract, every 2 weeks.

This person is looking for an MTSO with subs or employees to do 5000 lines a day not one MT.
