Not to be unkind... but

do you stay with a company that has no work and continues to hire. Instead of asking people not to apply, why don't you apply at other places and find some steady work?
I just don't get it. I hope the best for you, but to just sit with no work and then complain is not going to solve the no work issue, but getting those resumes out and finding that company with steady work will.
These nationals are a dime a dozen, why not try another?

my goodness, how UNKIND. HOW UNKIND!!!
you do no know her circumstances at all, not at all. Many/most are single mothers, no child support (less than 20% pay child support) Many have no cars, money the equivalent to Jack-in-the-Box. I don't even want to read stuff like you posted. Beter get in the real world.
I don't see how a lot of single mothers do it emotionally, money-wise and on and on. Life can be pretty unfair and one feels trapped.
Not to be unkind, but if they also
MT be considered since she passed the test and did not tell them she was an offshore MT? If the company requires a certain amount of experience, there is a reason. If the company decided to let everything the require slide, then what will that company become? If you did well testing, you might want to try gaining your own accounts, which does not require any experience at all.
Need to be so unkind? SM
You know, I'm another of those who if TT management had to depend on me for emails and phone calls, they would be sitting around twiddling their thumbs all day every day. I've been doing this work a long time and I don't require supervision or much of anything else except hospital specs, physician's lists and work to do. My job is to take it from there.
Some of the posters here seem to be really distressed. I think we, as satisfied employees, should try to help them instead of castigating them. I would try myself to help them but being remote, we don't even know our fellow employees and they don't even specify what the problems are so it's a little hard to answer. As for the lack of comminucation, I have already said if I had a complaint it would be lack of communication i.e. lack of response to emails. However, I'm a persistent little devil and if I need to send an email and I don't get an answer; well, I send it again, and again, and again if necessary until someone answers me. Just my 2 cents worth for whatever it (isn't) worth.
Uhmmm not to be unkind, but it looks like that job
Unkind remarks
I find it quite disturbing to see unkind remarks on this board. We are professionals, should act accordingly, and try to support and help our brother and sister MTs. Puffing about line counts and insulting others is just plain mean spirited. Everyone gets something different to deal with. Can't we be decent here? Who else but others in our profession would understand the complexities and diverse situations we get thrown into on a daily basis. Things are not like they were 10 or 15 years ago in this business. Lets share information, give support, stick together, and be kind.
unkind remarks
I agree with you, Sherry.
I apologize if this sounds unkind, but it seems kind of cheesy to post sm
how great your company is and solicit referrals. Perhaps you mean well -- I will certainly give you the benefit of the doubt. But in my 30+ years of transcription, I have rarely found that it pans out to refer someone. Granted, you say that the recruiter knows that you do not know these people and are just soliticiting the referral bucks, but it just sounds wrong for many reasons. Heck, I have referred FRIENDS to companies I was happy with and either they hated the company and were mad at me (using the word mad loosely .. perhaps disappointed/whatever is a better choice) or they didn't measure up and the company was disappointed that I had referred such a person.
Regardless, I am happy that you are happy where you are working. THAT, for all of us, is the bottom line it would seem. I want to have a home where I can just work and be happy for the rest of my working days, which will probably be until I'm 100, so I guess I had better make sure I AM happy!
Good luck to all of us. 
I agree. Just because we are running out of work, it is not fair to belittle or be unkind personall
to Dorothy or any of the staff. I agree they have most likely over hired as this is the first time I have ever run out of work at MDI, holiday notwithstanding and it has now been going on for a couple months now. I am frustrated to the point of tears myself and may be looking for another job. I have tried to address these issues with her to no avail. I do hope things will get better but this will be the last week I can afford to hang on. She said things will pick up this week and I am hoping she is right, if not I too will have to leave. At any rate, I have no complaints personally with Dorothy. She has always been very kind and fair to me. I will truly hate to leave but probably have no choice.
