In Reply to: Would you ever work for 7 cpl - 65 character count - question
I see it said 65 character. Would still do it for part-time work depending on other details of the job.

okay. I misread it--sm
I thought it said *you have to go to their train to pick up the loaded computer.* my mistake..sorry. had to ask. thanks
You misread this sm
I said 50 companies, not all of them were nationals.
In fairness to myself, I have had two longstanding IC positions. I always work more than one place, eggs all in one basket thing, and I know you understand this, or should. I'd work PT right along side of these long-held situations. I don't suffer fools gladly and I have a low quotient for putting with crap.
I have had recruiters lie to me. This has happened several times only to get in there and find the work stinks, the voice files are bad, I can't get IT help, the platform is unworkable and no help available, the QA person decides that name calling is appropriate, the owner loses the account, the owner decides that my paycheck is larger than hers and nixes my load, they expect me to work 24/7 or be on-call 24/7 or both, and the worst, as we all know, is running out of work.
Last year, I had one job I have had for years and I worked for 5 other places. One hired me and didn't train me. One hired me and I didn't have to be trained, I knew their system, but getting any type of help...well they never answered IM or emails, but if they needed help they were on the phone once in the middle of the night! Two used Bayscribe and that is fine, BUT one of them had her friend QA my work and when she got through it was full of errors and she would change terminology to English words. These counted against me as an MT and I told the manager about it and she blew me off and it continued to happen while I was berated about the quality of my work that had been through QA... The other I never did work for because of a paperwork problem on both our parts.
The last of these five was okay. It paid very well. I stuck this out for 6 long months. The QA staff was absolutely terrible, had had a total of 6 yrs MT between the two of them and didn't have a clue. The work itself was grueling, but I was doing fine with it...until they ran out of work again, and again and again about every 4 or 5 days nothing and I mean not one single job on the system for any of us all day.
In 2006, I didn't work a single PT job at all and in 2005 I didn't either. Those were good years because I had a lot of work and I was happy where I was at.
When you gotta make ends meet and you are raising kids alone you do what you gotta do.
You obviously misread the post.
This is the very reason why I directed my post to MTSOs because so many MTs do not take the time to read things in order to get the true meaning of the post.
This in no way allows any snooping. It does not give the MTSO access to your PC. It is simply a diagnostic report that lays out the specs of ones PC. Nothing more.
I misread what you wrote and apologize.
My response below was a result of my misunderstanding!
My apologies, MtMommyof2!
You misread reponse previous to last
The lead Editor was not the moody, hard to get along with person. Do not now if she is there now though. Stay away from the owner-bipolar/psycho personality.
You misread. The entire MT industry is a
out of hundreds of thousands. Most people that get hired for job get put to work as soon as possible. The MT industry 'hires' people, then twiddles around with them for weeks. The MT is always the very last one in the pecking order, even though they are the ones who actually do the work that the MTSO gets paid for.
You misread or misunderstood her post. It isn't
the bank she was worried about having the info but the MTSO having her banking information. Between no check, corrupted file that contained the contract, and the phone being disconnected I would be seriously concerned and keep daily watch on my account. Working without a signed contract isn't a good idea, though having a signed contract isn't foolproof either.
I misread your post - I thought it was about fraud
sorry.
oops - misread post- confused with another
nm
misread you, thought already working employee, sorry. NM
.
I misread that, phew! I couldn't believe the offshore rate was THAT high (yet anyway). nm
