Lining of the pockets is the whole problem

I have a friend who worked in QA PT for a couple of years at the same company where I was an MT. She accepted a full-time QA position at $17/hr just to be told 3 days later that the rate was actually $15/hr. She quit before their sentence ended with punctuation...

You're just padding the pockets of con-artists
Most companies going to VR, so not just a TT thing. -- more money in their pockets, less in ours.
Regretfully true, but there is NO WAY an MT can earn as much doing editing because you can't make twice as much for a long time after the machine gets to understanding the doctor. DocQScribe's editing platform is the only one that I have seen that was MT-friendly. Great money to be made on that platform, but as with all editing platforms, another new doctor comes onboard and the machine has to get to know his voice, so another slow down in editing.
It is definitely NOT a gain to the MT. Why do you think these companies would be changing over to VR/editing ????
They have enough people lining up to sue them w/o MTs.

Looking for the silver lining--Thanks!
I suppose any raise is a good thing. I think I am just bummed after waiting 2 years for any sort of raise, and then finding out that it's impossible to achieve a perfect score because of the nature of my accounts. Perhaps if I had easy-to-please physicians, who did not require full QA for perfect reports, then I would get my 1/2 cent raise. SoftScript has nothing in place for MTs working on difficult accounts, and chooses to punish them instead. On the other hand, it is good to know that raises are scarce across the board with most companies. I guess I'm not alone!
I assume some of you see the dark cloud in every silver lining, eh? nm
