if you would simply call it a night, get some rest and stop trying be so condescending with a whole slew of people here who have very legitimate concerns over the implications of subcontractors and their potential to exert MORE negative forces and drive downwads trends in line rate further into the dust.

Drama
I think it has come to the point where the atmosphere at OSi has gotten to the employees and with all the "favoritism" and inadequacy of QA Manager. People are fed up. My advice, get out of OSI, there are companies that appreciate MTs and by the way, why is OSI allowed to post jobs on here when MT STARS is totally against outsoucing offshore? I thought that was not accepted here on this board.
Such drama - nt
Oh my...I would rather work for a man..less DRAMA!!

I think it really means a no drama SM
person. I don't think it applies to vacations at all. You have no idea how many people apply for jobs, get hired and then suddenly need time off to take care of a personal problem, have constant personal issues, child issues, etc. and keep asking for time off. I see it a lot in this field. The person who takes a couple of vacations every year (scheduled) and schedules any other time off in advance is rare these days.
Company Drama and the board
It seems to be that a daily drama has to be played out here. I sure hope things cheer up around here soon. It's getting to be no fun. I am becoming wary that it is not just the MTs causing the drama, but certain places of employment are experiencing growing pains and becoming dramatic. I am an MT who likes working at home to avoid the drama of the office. I am an MT who likes a predictable day, a predictable yet challenging job. For me all this drama is really getting to be a bit much. I don't know about you, but I sure hope that things calm down and a little less anxiety around here. Have a nice weekend. I am because I am signing off this place and will only lurk to see if the drama queen companies and MTs have calmed down. Have a nice weekend folks.
I agree -- drama queen of the century (sm)
Not only that, check with your accountant. She claims the MTs are ICs but subjects them to so many rules/regulations, provides the software (no need as just Word would do fine), etc. My state's department of labor is investigating, and I also filled out that IRS form to get a determination, but my accountant says there's no question she was treating people like employees but not paying the taxes, etc. Too bad -- Stanford was fun work, even if it was only clinic work.
Job hoppers, undependable, drama queens SM
I've seen them all. BTW for the person below, I call a person a job hopper when they have had a number of jobs where they only stayed weeks or perhaps a couple of months and then moved on for whatever reason. These people can be identified from the interview. They have a laundry list of demands as far as what they will and won't do in terms of worktypes, they need blocks of time out during the day to do errands, make dinner, they have many appointments with various doctors.
If you do end up hiring them for one reason or another, they are undependable. Float on and off the system all day, have family members call to report the employee is in the hospital REGULARLY, they won't work the shift they committed to, the electricity was cut off, the cable line has been cut..you get the idea. On the days they do manage to make it to work they are calling the office with stupid problems because they have no technical ability (computer) or they have absolutely no problem-solving skills. When they aren't having problems, they are calling the office to complain about the work they're getting, they can't type ESL doctors (well who took the test to be hired, I wonder?), they've never typed anything but clinic notes, they don't own a BOS. I feel your pain. I hope some of these MTs read this and see themselves, but somehow I don't think they will. Flame away, people, the folks over in India are grateful when they get more work.
Personally, I couldn't care less about TT or the drama.
You seem to be assuming the company is in the right in this situation. I have no personal stake in the issue, but IMO I think it's overboard to sue over a message board, and I'm just saying since this ridiculousness has happened and opened our eyes that we can't openly say things around here apparently because we never know when something like this could happen, that maybe we should just use different wording very carefully so we can still share important info. I would hate to see this one company's lawsuit ruin our ability to share info with fellow MTs. Just seeing that APPARENTLY, ahem, this company is suing an MT is helpful information in itself when choosing a company.......
Wow, some just aren't happy unless there's negativity and drama abounding.
This drama NEVER ends! It is SOOOOOO scary, and so boring at the same time!
Now Lee will come on, with an empassioned plea to please call her, and yada, yada, the misunderstandings. This person left, or that person left, or now a new bolt of lightning. It is getting ABSURD to have this regurgitated at least weekly on this board! Same old, same old. I would NEVER work for Keystrokes, and can't imagine anyone falling for this saga and applying. Something is VERY wrong in KS land.
That's a horribly offensive term. I wouldn't compare some drama

Broken promises, messed up pay, endless drama. Good riddance!
