In a quandry

Worked for last national service for 6 years, then all of a sudden they got puckered over QA that had never been an issue previously, and accused of line padding. Wow, what a jerky way to end a career, especially when it wasn't fact. Swore off MT after 20-some years and have been out of it for almost 3 months. I'm having twinges of withdrawal, but not for service work! My last private contract was at 18 cpl - a wonderful deal, and I have no doubts I could pick up similar work but here's the problem: When I actually sit down and start reading posts from companies and ICs, it gives me heartburn and I say good riddance, thankful that I quit when I did. Anyone else so burned out with the nationals that feel the same? It's just ruined my attitude toward MT. I'd like to get into it again, but the 6 years with this company I feel would not generate a good reference at this point. How would you go about describing your past experience, knowing you left on a sour note? I'd never, ever been accused of line padding until this misunderstanding, and it was all over expansion of abbreviations.

      • Isn't that weird? I gave mine the heads up, too, and no one ever called!! - MTMQ
  • Go vague on them. Most don't care about why you left - no worries
