Amen, I am glad it is NOT just me feeling like it isn't worth the bother. I was an Editor for 6 companies in India and as you would imagine they got away with murder. I was told just to correct the glaring errors and nevermind the rest, TAT was first and foremost. I obviously left there shaking my head and now this experience has convinced me that being even a greater at Walmart is a much more appealing profession (and the pay on some nights much better, lol). I am selling my books and toys and not looking back --- the ever so wise and wonderful QA department can terrorize someone else I guess, I will just say a quick prayer and not let any of my family go into the business unless we have our own and what a better business it would be - no more treating people that work hard like dirt!!
Goodbye after 25 years to MT, to the docs with apples, potato chips and the like in their mouths, QA witches, backaches, headaches, carpal tunnel and general lack of self esteem over the use of , ; and formats that God himself couldn't understand. Good luck to the new ones, you poor dears, go into any other profession or start you own business and do the world a favor and put these companies out of business and show them how to treat people - hey maybe what we need is an old fashioned union, ha ha
EMR is here anyway and VR and there is always our friends in India to take the QA rules - oops forgot, they don't have to, lol

QA terror
QA should be kind and encouraging. It's one thing to feel the pressure of knowing your work is being proofed but QA isn't going to fret over unimportant articles, and it's another thing to feel afraid to submit a report because somebody is ready to tear your work to shreds and you know it.
I know somebody who worked for Axolotl and they had the latter-described QA experience with smart-a** comments and rudeness from QA. This was a highly experienced and very careful MT. They decided that it wasn't worth the headache and stress when QA changed hyperthyroidism all throughout the report to hypothyroidism, even though the patient was on Tapazole. It kinda proved that it was pointless to try.
