That has been my suspicion

In Reply to: It's quite possible that the "missing" MDI work - recently has been going to Transcend -sm
I work on what would be considered an easy account for MDI, mainly native English-speaking dictators, etc. I also have 2 other secondary accounts that are quite a bit more difficult and much less compatible with VR technology.
I have noticed in the past month that the work in my easier account has been VERY low, basically nonexistant most days, and the work in the other, more difficult accounts has NOT always been very low.
Of course, I cannot say anything with certainty, but I now suspect that my beloved primary account has been getting depleted because they have been setting these reports up for dry runs with their VR program. It will probably be one of the FIRST accounts that Transcend will want to get up and running for VR once the MDI acquisition is complete. I am interested to see if I'm correct.
As I have said before, job security is our OWN responsibility, and being able to do the hard stuff with the ESL dictators and tough work types is one of the ways we guarantee ourselves continued work. Remember this, newer MTs.

I am still wondering if they will do away with SE altogether. I have a suspicion they may. Has
anyone heard if we must be employees after this year.
Saw posts about this earlier with suspicion their testing was jacked up. (sm)
I figure if people who have lots of experience and have obviously tested for other companies and came off okay there must be something wrong
Sorry you wasted your time. Another, more reputable company deserves your attention. Go for it.
