TechSupport - you have definitely restored my faith in anything or anyone

related to tech support - don't care if it is only your posting name;-)  You give some very valuable advice.  THANK YOU. 


I cannot believe, however, that it has come to this while we work in our home offices, generally on our own computers, trying to make a decent living.  Good Grief, Charlie Brown.   


 


I could not in good faith recommend SS

to even my worst enemy.   I was in QA, had some of the worst MTs because they could not get and keep good MTs and a warm body was better than nobody.  Management changed frequently.  The CEO was so slimy that I felt like I needed a shower after talking with him.  I can't remember her position, but she was one step above QA manager would send out e-mails with new terms/medications and they would be incorrect.  I've been in this business for 22 years.  I do about 85% ESL.  I can do some of the worst ESLs (don't like to, but I can), but the accounts I had were beyond horrendous.  Between the horrible dictators and the sound quality there wasn't enough money to make me stay.   They still call me about every 6 months and ask me to come back.  Only if my kids were going hungry would I do that and I think I would try prostitution first.  I believe in producing a quality product, but I also have bills to pay and I have a life outside of work.  I was not willing to work 12+ hours a day and be stressed out every day over the crappy work.   There is so much better out there.  Unfortunately there aren't a lot of jobs available currently with the mergers, VR, and offshore work. SS is always hiring and there is a reason for that.  I can assure you it isn't because they are getting a lot of new accounts. 


If you spend time going through the archives you'll see posts where MTs didn't listen to the negative posts and accepted positions, only to come back within a month or so and say that all the negative stuff was absolutely true and they would apologize for not listening to us.  


After that idiot that came on saying how they fired us because we weren't good enough, etc. I put SS lower on the list than they already were, which was hard to do when they were already at the bottom.  That person was not there when I was, did not know who I was, did not know what position I held and anything they said was because they evidently weren't taking their meds and there was no shred of truth to it.  This person attacked anyone who said anything negative about SS, not just me.  I understand that person is no longer there though. 


Yeah really. He just has so much faith in the future of this industry
LOL!
Sounds Great.. I have renewed faith but I didnt really doubt they cared..
They are pretty great to work for..
