Just about everyone I know has been effected by either being laid off, downsized, or outsourced, and many people willingly, as a team, are cutting their days by one day so that everyone can keep their jobs as a group. It is really, really hard no matter what level you are at.

Pulling a fast one?
What is up with these employers opting to not give their email addresses or company info when you want to apply for a job with them on this site? Makes me a little suspicious.
Pulling up thread from below. Why I believe MT is not going
anywhere for a while ...
WordPerfect 5.1
We still have clients that use it. If they are still on DOS-based word processing, do you REALLY think they are going to invest in Voice Recognition? Do you think that they are so open to change that they will welcome offshore transcription with open arms?
We have to learn technology and be ready for change, just like when typewriters were replaced by computers, but technology changes do not happy everywhere overnight.
In addition, the VR that I have seen in place has a LONG way to go. If they put it out too early, which I truly believe, it will take a lot to convince someone to give it another try. I think this is why they realize now that they cannot do without the transcription component.
Can't get rid of us that easily 
It's not only Diskriter pulling that one

pulling my hair out
I have gone bald too from this platform. It really sucks!!! Besides I am tired of working for pennies. 90% ESL and mostly all editing VR. I recently started with them too and I now have my resume out in lots of different places.
Right now, they seem to be pulling VR editors from their MT pool nm

This TT MT is definitely pulling your leg. NO OT with TT and has not been for a number of months
Unless it is QA people for all the newbies TT has hired of late and all the new VR trainees (forced into doing VR). QA would be the ONLY employees being paid OT now.
This posting has got to be from a QA person.
e-Tranz has been pulling this stuff for at least 5 years now
When it happened to me and about 6 others at the time (about 5 years ago), we tried to get the word out to warn others of DG's unscrupulous business practices and have been doing so ever since, but she just keeps drawing new victims in each and every time. I'm so surprised she's still in business after all this time doing so many MTs so wrong. What can be done about this to prevent other MTs from becoming her next victims besides posting on message boards? Anything?
Was the poster below pulling our legs about aprons for MT week? (sm)
I went to the mail box today hoping to have received it, was a bit disappointed and then it dawned on me that someone was making a funny in reference to the Xmas cookbook. Duh to me.
I think they get tired of pulling teeth when backlogs slip. NM
So they cover that quite well not giving a rats arss about the fallout it has on us.
