Smoke and Mirrors

Easy question. If you want to work, you will work weekends. You will do what you are told when you are told to do it. After all, it's just a slow period. Happens every year, just before the holidays, during the holidays, cold/flu season, school starting, school ending, election years, bad weather, good weather. The time to worry is when there is no work on the weekends. I'm not worried about indefinite slow periods. After all, I only have to pay the mortgage, utilities, car payment, feed the kids, taxes - you probably have a few of those bills too. I guess all that extra incentive pay we get on the weekends and holidays is what keeps us showing up with a smile. I'm so happy with my job I have forgotten how many shopping days there are until Christmas. Imagine that.

A lot of smoke and mirrors with some things and
with other things, such as pay on time, are always as they say. Just average to work for.

I hope it isn't all smoke and mirrors.
The terms *integrate talent* and *retain only high customer satisfaction performers* are very vague and unsettling. Also, the $$$ thing. I guess THE BOYS will do what they wanna, ay?

LOL - people like this MT-MTSO have no MIRRORS
in their homes!

This person needs to vent on a couch with a professional nearby IMHO...

that or get treatment for *severe* myopia.

In the particular case of MQ and the pending lawsuits, this poster just really mirrors
the frequent posts from back around Christmas of 2004 - they were the lawyers looking for inside info on MQ, payroll practices, handling raises, etc. just like this poster. They also used the incorrect terms for employees - calling MQ MTs MLS, which we all know is Transcend's fave term for us, NEVER MQ. I would answer their MQ questions as best I could, and then get a personal email from them "confessing" they were lawyers (supposedly) and that was how they were trying to get poop on MQ, as it was ILLEGAL to contact us at that time, as they had not received permission from the courts yet for discovery, etc. Also some were just from other lawyers around the country, nosing in to make a buck or 2. The original poster completely stopped posting, and I still believe 100% that it was NOT a MQ employee. Anyone who was a real employee would know what their job title currently was - that is guaranteed, no matter how many times the title may have changed. They tried "editor", which does not exist, and then changed it to "proofer", which has not existed for years and years now. All they had to do was answer with anything more detailed, and I would have been glad to help. I wasn't NOT friendly. I just expressed my thoughts on their odd post.

where there's smoke there's fire!

Obviously more than one person has come forward and said they were told work is going to India. The person who told me was not a "mere" MT. Everyone knows they're sending work to India but no one on this site is going to stand by their promise of USA companies only! I'm sure Webmedx is not far from turning into another Medware and trying to turn all us MTs in to janitors to clean by the C**P that these Indians put out. This is just another example of the big companies turning our jobs over to India and then waving their flags trying to hide what they are about. I can't believe this site actually expects companies to "publish" they're stabbing us in the back while they're smiling to our faces asking us to come to work for them (until they decide they want editors and not MTs).

Wake up Administrator! No one is going to admit they're the "bad guys"! When are we Americans going to start standing up for own jobs!!

They'd just blow smoke in our faces if we did.

So go stick that in your pipe and smoke it, gourdpainter, And before you ask, I am NOT mgmt.
ooooo

Forget Diskriter! Bunch of smoke! You will NOT get paid for downtime.

Diskriter made MQ look kind. Diskriter also has had labor board charges in the past. If it sounds too good to be true, I assure you with Diskriter, it is! This is the first time I've spoken out against them, but honestly the down time paid claim is bogus.
