She can kiss my backside.
My SOUL is NOT part of her $16 million deal.
Jam it, D. I didn't need you before I found MDI-MD, and I sure don't need you NOW.

No, I don't use esquire, I just threw that sm
in to be a wise gal and see if anybody really did have a legal background here. You're pretty sharp kiddo. 
I almost threw up when I saw the hair. sM
I still to this day don't know what kind of hair it was, nor do I want to. The keyboard had some kind of nuts or seeds in it and I actually put it in a trash bag and put it in my garage because I was afraid roaches would come out of it or something. Totally disgusting. If they're not going to sanitize the equipment, they should send brand new. I also refused to use whatever headphones they sent because they didn't look new either. I always use my own.
VR rates at 1.5 cpl...Flipping Joke
I e-mail all companies offering 6-8 cpl and tell them that is not a living wage. I can make more as sales clerk. Same with the VR Editor jobs. 2-4 cents for editing is not a living wage. It takes more of my time to edit Indian transcription as to type at 100 wpm with expander. If we all flooded them with similar responses, maybe they would see how many good people they are not getting to apply.
Flipping the script on Employers!!
Since the majority of these companies are not upfront or truthful about their lack of work, and their recruiters are just little monkeys following orders, I have decided to accept as many jobs as I can, space the hiring dates 2 weeks apart, and try each job out before I make a serious commitment. I have accepted 4 jobs to date, and I will not be left out in the cold another year because I believed in a company that did not measure up to their hype. My kids will not go hungry again. I have been burned so many times and I did not start out to accept AL 4, but my husband informed me that none of these companies will be loyal to me, so I need to do what I need to do.
I wouldn't blame you if you threw sm
in the towel on this. But please for those of us who DO appreciate it, if you never do another interview, do this one! After that, it is up to the rest of us. The ones who want to gripe and complain are always the ones who gripe the loudest too about no work, outsourcing, offshoring, no hours, supervisors and just complaining in general. some folks you can't please no matter what you do. I wouldn't want to take the abuse either, but its started, please finish if for no one else YOURSELF!!!!!!! I, for one, APPRECIATE IT. The ones who are being the nitpickers about the difference between outsourcing/offshoring are probably the same folks in QA who will throw a perfectly good report back or fire you for a misplaced comma!!!!!!!! Please hang in there!
Did they at least have you tuck your chin as they threw you
Well, or under the RICKSHAW, in this case.
Sounds like MDI-MD and Transcend aren't as strange of bedfellows as I originally thought.
Seems the Q taught their protegees well and they're methods are still being practiced in full force.
My sincere apologies to all of you who just got hit with this. May things be brigher for all of us...AND SOON.
Exactly...too much flipping back and forth through screens, schedules, faxes....
and for what? A 10-line note about somebodies out of control diabetes or hypertension. It takes longer to fill in the DI screen than to type the note. I stayed for about 9 months because of the easy dictators, but found it was dulling my acute care skills so I left. I asked to change accounts, the answer was, no. I am MUCH happier where I am now.
Matter of fact he threw that in the newsletter yesterday
said that a client asked for offshore work and they complied.
I can't believe any client would ask for offshore help as anal as they are about US MT's.
I have recently declined to accept VR rates as low as 1.5 cpl. What a flipping joke
At this point, I guess we're supposed to work for free. I mean do we not still leave in America where cost of living is sky rocketing and then they come with an offer of 6-7 cpl for straight typing and 1.5-3 cpl for editing. That worst is when the ad says must have at least 5+ years experience, excellent high quality standards, blah blah and then they offer you that.. Insulting..Good luck on surviving on that. I guess we should move to another country where the cost of living is comparable to the wages. Give me a break. We all just need to take a stand or this industry will not survive..
No, not boring - flipping burgers is boring!
Be grateful to be working!
