They were raving about how good JLG was at the time.  Don't know about now.  There are a lot of posts on JLG if you will just do a search.

I actually know a couple of the people who regularly post positively on this board about Transcend. I email with them quite regularly. They aren't management. There's one theory down the drain.

And, no, I'm not management trying to create a story, either, although you probably suspect that I am.

Try to accept that people can be happy and supportive of their employer. It's better to be part of the solution than part of the problem.

positive experiences with Focus.  I've seen other posts like this where a person will ask about a specific MTSO and say something like just good things or no negative posts please.

It just strikes me as looking at the world through rose colored glasses.  How can you make an informed decision if you only consider one side of an argument?  It's just silly.  Why bother to ask any questions at all?  Just take the job and be done with it.  People take time to answer questions honestly here and try to help out fellow MTs so they don't make the same mistakes we've made and what thanks do we get? 

Pollyannas like the OP who just wants to hear the good. 

about companies. I hope it's not you being sued. I don't know if you ever worked for TT or not but  I've seen some of the outrageous things stated against TT and I just don't know if I would believe some of those posts. I think they may be disgruntled employees taking out their hatred on a company that, until a few months ago, had great reviews. Then someone posted a nasty comment about them and it's been going downhill since then.

This board is for comments on companies, but not some of the nastiness I've seen against TT lately so, again, I say, it all started with one disgruntled employee and snowballed from there. If they are suing someone, they must have a good reason, don't you think?

does anything about it.  Personally I would never join one anyway so I don't care.  I am not a single mom, but for one year my DH took off work to go to school and I was the sole support of our family.  I paid all the bills, including insurance, though mine was not $700/mo.  We didn't have $$ for lots of extras, but all of our normal bills were paid and our house payment was $895/mo. 

I only worked about 6 hours/day at that time, though sometimes worked less and sometimes more.  

Just because one person can't do 2500 lines/day or be self-supporting, doesn't mean that some of us can't.   I make good money and could make more if I wanted to work more, but I don't.  

No one is forcing you to be an MT.  If you are unhappy with the pay, etc. find something else.   Companies, MT or not, have to look out for their bottom line.   MT companies are now in competition with Indian companies, or US fronts for Indian companies, who will undercut any line rate to the customer, so in order for MT companies to keep accounts they have to maintain rates.   I know of one local company who went out of business because while he had not raised his rates in about 8 years, he just could not compete with other offshore companies.

They do have a thing where you have to get a paper check for the first 90 days, then you can have direct deposit.   The account that I was on used ExText.

Hope this helps.  Good luck.

and I was niave and only payed federal and not social security taxes because I had also worked a regular job on top of IC job.  My penalty and interest was more than the tax I owed!  I learned my lesson the painful expensive way. 

I was told that IC status is a red flag for the IRS and they will go over your return looking at your deductions and if you don't pay social security tax at the proper rate, it is another red flag. 

 Now with Turbotax it is much easier to understand taxes on your own.  Even if you use an accountant I think it is good to go over it yourself and get an explanation so you understand what you are paying because as the IRS said to me ignorance is not an excuse .  I claimed I did not know what I was not aware I had to pay the full amount and they did not buy that excuse at all and slapped me with 3 years of interest and penalties!
