to make up for you and probably 3 other people boycotting. 
I did hear about the Salvation Army thing but honestly, I agreed with their stance on it.

Target--no way here, either
I stopped shopping at Target years ago after I learned that they quit allowing the Salvation Army bell ringers in front of their MANY stores. I may be a small consumer, but it's not just me (family as well), so each person makes a difference when it's all added up.
Also, doing a little research on different companies can be well worth the time. If/when I learn that the owner/board of directors, etc. supports abortions (can we say Planned Parenthood?), my conscience won't allow me to shop there. And I've never even had children!
Excellent subject matter.
Thanks!
I think TT is right on target
Am I the only one who was there when the old COO was there? Never ever ran out of work. Called all the time and asked to pitch in and help get back in TAT. When the new person, who shall remain nameless, came on board, things started downhill and continued downhill. Might be interesting to check out her previous credentials. In order to see where you are going it is usually helpful to see where you've been or I should say where the person in question has been. That's been 5 or so years ago so I wonder how many MTs have been there back to those days when TT really was the best. They have had low/no work for well over a year, more like 2 so I don't know why anyone would think it would get better.
You're on target, but . . . . .
the problem is that India's educated population, which is about 20% of their total population equals almost the United States ENTIRE population.
India has over one billion people. 20% of that is 200 million. The United States ENTIRE population is only 300 million.
So, yes, they're getting more expensive, but they have a much bigger non educated labor pool to pull from and educate.
Very intelligent post, and right on target! nm

Your character core is right on target.
Of course, we all know to worry when a company we work for starts employing people to spout this meaningless BS. Bast#rds.
Shop around
before deciding. I had worked for Transhealth and left as I got tired waiting around for work and was not going to be working outside my scheduled shift to accomodate them when there was work as I do have a life. Even if they paid 10 cpl it is not worth it, not especially if you are stuck on an ESL account as you will be pulling your hair halfway through your shift.
Do you have anything you could take to a pawn shop?
My son used to pawn his electric guitars, then on payday he went and bought them back. Then when he finally matured, he pawned them and just left them there for good.
Medscribe SWEAT SHOP
Hey thank you so much. I have been looking for someone to validate my thoughts. They treat me like dirt. The pay is crapola. They have all these little rah rah emails and they also email everyone with an angry and cross manner when one person does something in error. I am making zilch in this dump.
For 7.5 cents a line they want you to do impossible dictators like Laredo Medical Center where you can understand nothing and if you leave a blank they get mad because there is too much in editing. They call me when I don't make the line counts and berate me UGH.
They could check your history. Best not to shop on E-bra
When I am waiting for work to come up. My PC is on the next desk.
Where can we shop for supplies that aren't imported? sm
I really don't mind paying a little more, have always supported our local merchants, but just can't find everything my son needs for school, etc., locally except at Wal-Mart. I don't buy his clothing or shoes there. What major retailers sell USA products? TIA.
I wonder if this is a small shop? Surely someone here works for them.
Did you do any of the STAT work they had? If so, may I email you?
No, I neither shop at Walmart or go to Disney World
Would not be caught dead at either place. Neither do I buy Levi or Lazy-Boy products since they moved to Mexico.
Bout ready to take this computer to the pawn shop
and cancel the internet - then find a real job again that pays hourly, has a sane schedule, gives me a yearly raise and a paid vacation. Get paid if there is work and don't have to hear We don't pay for downtime. Not kidding either. Might enjoy socializing a bit again too.
MEDSCRIBE jacksonville, turn your house into a sweat shop
They are brow beaters.
pay stinks
It stops at the end of the month you quit. Shop around though, I found insurance
for $193 a month for me and the kids. Limit is 2 doctor visits each for a year, but since it is only temporary that is fine, lots cheaper than Cobra which was doing to cost me over $800
Sweat shop mentality! Time for you to leave and find a job where you'll

But if no union shop, no union representation
You can have a trade group represented by a union, as your husband is, but if he doesn't work in a union shop (company), the union can't represent him at his place of employment. Look at nurses, for example - there is a union for nurses, but the vast majority of nurses are not union members, because their places of employment are not unionized. So it's irrelevant to the majority of nurses that there is a union to represent them.
