Seriously...sm

Okay, maybe I'm one of the few happy ICs out there who just loves being an MT, loves the work I do, and loves the companies that I contract with, but can you honestly blame MTSOs for selling and trading, etc.?

Business is business and we're all out here to make a buck.  So are the owners of the MTSOs.  That's what business is all about.  I understand that some of the employees of the MTSOs feel they are being treated unfairly by pay cuts, offshoring, bad platforms, etc., but you need to stop taking the acts of MTSOs so personal. 

The MTSOs do not sell their businesses to upset their employees or to engage in personal attacks on those who work hard for them.  They sell their businesses to make money...the same reason the MT works (to make money).

You know, if I grow my transcription business to become a large company and somebody wants to buy me out for an astronomical amount, then by all means please sign the check.  The MTSO that takes over is still keeping MTs on board - not firing anyone - and will still be in the transcription business.  It's not like these companies are selling and then telling the MTs that they're out of a job.

Yes, we love what we do or we wouldn't be doing it.  But would you be doing it for the love of it if you weren't getting paid?  I think not.  So don't knock the MTSO for doing exactly what any of us would do if we had a growing business.

By the way, I welcome the flow of negativity that will come backlashing at me from this post.
