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.

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.

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).

This all sounds VERY strange as I work for Landmark and was never sent a FOB or a foot pedal ~ just went to work and that was it!  Is this something for some sort of special account they have?  I must say in defense of LM, I have found them a total pleasure to work for.  They use the Bayscribe platform which I downloaded myself with a link they sent me and I was off and running!  They leave me alone to do my work and all is well, so I think this must be some sort of weird and unusual misunderstanding you have had with them over this foot pedal and FOB because I was never required to purchase either one or sent either one to do my job for them.

...and did from the beginning. I kinda thought it was going to be taken poorly and I don't agree, either about the Irish or bombs on board, but I think get you.

I think you are saying that when things seem to be calming down, people that need a drama fix push a known hot button to entertain themselves. I get that; however, I don't necessarily agree with every comment since then.

My perception, for whatever it's worth, is that for that to be true (both with this board and Ireland), you would have to operate under the assumption that there was full resolution and total peace afterwards, no residual strong emotions, everyone felt heard, and no one felt silenced. I don't think that is the case in either "arena."

When people feel silenced, as I am "hearing" both parties saying, then the elephant is still in the living room and some want people tiptoeing around it like it's not there just so they don't have to deal with conflict because it makes them uncomfortable. There has been no understanding or resolution between differing opinions and there won't be as long as people make up their minds not to listen or understand. You can expect residual posts for awhile.

The fact is, if this discussion makes anyone uncomfortable (when it is entitled "company board", so like...what ELSE do you talk about?), not to be harsh, but that person's comfort level is their own problem.

If that person is uncomfortable with conflict, change the channel (and therefore your own behavior) instead of trying to change the people around you. You can try to change what they do, but it seldom works and stirs up more trouble. It's more effective to change your approach. Not that I have this down yet myself, but when I can remember to do it, it does work.

The fact is, everyone who is still here must be drawn to the drama/entertainment a bit or none of us would still be watching...jagged little pill to swallow idn't it?:)
