On the contrary...

On the contrary, not entirely. She is still condescending if you make the smallest of mistake. Very accusatory and unprofessional when something does arise. This was not so long ago, like, just in the past couple of weeks. So, it does still happen.

on the contrary!
I think it's possible she/he did that. Like I said, I made nearly $60,000 one yr. BUT, it was an acc't. I was completely familiar with, good dictators, lots of normals, and I had my shortcuts maxed out, plus worked nonstop. But as I also said, not worth the aches and pains. I was also working in WordPerfect at the time and able to put several reports in 1 document, which meant a lot too, so I guess the program is a big issue too. I'm still trying to figure out why so many people come to this board just to be nasty. And by the way, I don't feel inferior to anyone. I know what I can and can't do and am very comfortable with that. Maybe you should examine your own feelings of inadequacy.
On the contrary, I do get what you are saying
I was responding to the LOL post. I understand what you are saying about the thoughtfulness factor. On the other hand, I hesitate to interpret a small, no-thought-involved gift as an insult, exactly. I'm with you, I'm one who would appreciate a letter of recognition, too, but there's plenty who don't and I've worked with quite a few of them. I remember getting a small gift one lean year and a very nice letter from the employer and many of my co-workers were griping that words cost nothing and that the gift was cheap. (Nevermind that it was thoughtful, apparently.) And with the perceived problems with wishing people a happy holiday (thanks to the media), I think a lot of people have just quit bothering. It's a darn shame.
I was hoping you would. Contrary to SM
what some people think, everyone participating on this board does not wish ill will toward a fellow MT. For what it's worth, I think you are making the right decision and you are correct - if there's no work at all, it doesn't really matter what they are paying. It all amounts to a big goose egg.
I doubt very much anything wonderful will happen with TT - it will just get worse and at least you'll be ahead of the game.
Contrary to the uninformed posts below, there are
jobs like this out there. I used to work for a company who did mostly overflow & would let you work whenever you wanted, but they've since been bought out by one of the huge corporations. Hopefully someone on here can give you some leads. Otherwise, you could email your resume around stating you're looking for p.r.n. work. Good luck!
On the contrary, I find your post refreshing and true. sm
I agree whole-heartedly that MTSOs AND MTs are in it for a paycheck. It's not personal. If you don't like your employer's treatment, find another company where their style is more to your liking.
