depressing situation for the employees.  I don't work there anymore, but I know I would be devastated if I had to take a drastic cut in my pay.  Anyone who tells you that you can do 2-3 times the amount of lines doing VR has to have brown eyes because they are full of it!

LIghten up.  I doubt the CEO of TT or anywhere else for that matter gives a hoot what us peons think, do, or say as long as we keep those fingers flying and bring them in an income.

Just my opinion.

I work for a good company and I know on the days I work hard I make double what I make on my slacker days.  A slacker in life in general - no way - I am busy constantly! But I do slack on the typing sometimes.  Just the truth. But I have worked for companies where I had to bust my butt to make any money at all.  So I know it does depend on where you work. 

You started it hmmm with your scolding answer to poster's first post. I think you are just embarrassed that someone pointed out your cliches with a little wit.  Don't you two have neighborhood children to shoo off your lawns or something. When do you work you are lurking all the time. Two words for you Urban Dictionary.

I think these forums are full of really unhappy people who hate what they do because there is so much complaining and negativity here I can hardly stand it....

and before someone says then I should come here...

I just started visiting 2 days ago......and there is good information here. I just don't understand the attitudes. 

The doctor gave his patient 6 months to live. 

The patient couldn't afford to pay the bill, so the doctor gave him 6 more months.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

apparently has to dealing with MTs all day.

You people are unbelievable but then the moon is getting full and you come out in droves.  I like her sense of humor as well as her willingness to help an MT.

I am sure she knows the many personalities of the profession and is not offended which is evidenced by her remarks and good for her because if it were me, I would tell you what you could do with your remarks.  Trying to help you say by pointing out what was obviously a transposition, I think not. No one on this board is trying to help unless it was that recruiter. Apparently too many out there with not enough to do.

to complete the required work week when there is no work?  Before everyone jumps on me saying that I am lazy, don't want to work, need to ask for more accounts, etc., give me a break.  I am quite new to the company, and I rely on a full-time work week for my benefits for my family.  I already have 5 accounts and have asked for more.  All are out of work (or so I am told).  I have four small children, so working all hours of the night and the wee hours of the morning is not possible on a daily basis (but I am willing to do what I can to get my hours in). 

I am asking an honest question here:  Is there no leeway at all during the extremely slow holiday months?  It is bad enough that I will pull in less money, but even worse that I could lose my benefits.  YES I know it is slow at all companies during the holiday season. YES I know I could get a job somewhere else. If a current or past WMX-er could please just give me some insight, I would greatly appreciate it. :-) I got up earlier today to get a jump on things, and I ran out of work earlier!  LOL  I ran out of work at 10 a.m. (again).
