That was my first reaction to it

In fact, I assume someone at the supervisor's conference last week came up with it and they implemented it immediately. What we don't know, we can't complain about. I recently complained when I found 66% of my team canceling out of jobs, we got reminded not to do it. I assume this will keep me from noticing when it starts up again; and now that we have less work and more time sitting around to check into these things, maybe the complaints were rising. It is rather typical, just like they delete anything negative off their internal forum. If it isn't talked about, it doesn't exist.

I am the OP, and I cannot the reaction of you
When did I whine? When did I throw a tantrum? I do not need to find a new profession! I do not need to work 24/7 or weekends for that matter when it is an IC position. I have been in this industry long enough to pick and choose any job offer what suits me and my family. I have been given many offers, and I will CHOOSE what job offer I find suitable. Yes, I am connected by the hip to my DH and children. Let me guess, you people that are so bitter have had failed marriages. And let me dare to guess it was because of your poor attitude. Who are the freaking whiners? This board is a joke!! and you wonder why the industry is declining, it is because of your ATTITUDE!!! I am so done with MTStars. I am much too professional for it. Thanks for letting me learn a good lesson today!
Yes, I think that is the reaction that poster is going for.
He/she/it goaded me to the point of wanting to pop his/her teeth out, too. I'm not old, fat, stupid, poor, toothless or ugly either. Oh, well. She/he/it needs to believe that the rest of the world is ugly, fat, stupid, toothless, and old to make him/herself feel good. The reality of the situation is that her/his true character is the reason he/she can't hack life in the real world. That's why he/she/it hides behind the mask of the Internet. Truly sad, to be pitied. It's a cry for help. Perhaps it's a case of the abused becoming the abuser.....
Reaction above inevitable.
You can't post a positive message about taking control of your own situation without getting the above type of response from someone who acts and thinks like a victim and blames everyone else for their problems. It gets old, but it's part of the culture on this board. Fortunately, there are many more positive, helpful people, which makes it worthwhile coming here.
I appreciated your message and agree with you totally. Good thought for the New Year.
My first reaction to that would be, "Make me
.. and if it's an offer I can accept, THEN I'll give that information.' I don't mind a background check, but not to every company I apply to, most of which would probably have no intention of hiring me anyway, or else I'd have no interest in working for them, once we started talking money.
So talk money FIRST, background checks, long typing tests, and SS numbers SECOND.
That should read "I cannot believe the reaction..."
Thank you to some who posted professional posted and agreed or disagreed with me but in a respectful way. There are some professionals out there after all? Wow!
OMG I had the SAME reaction to this silly job post
I wouldn't work for *that* person for 10 cpl, much less 7 cpl!
I adore animals, and care deeply about my work, but the ad said much more about the person supervising/managing than they may have realized.
Too late for your reaction..you've been forgotten...
BTW, maybe you can't make $5000/MONTH AS AN IC CONSISTENTLY because you don't know how to read lol. You might as well stop while you're behind--YOU HAVE NOTHING ON ME LOL. PEACE HATER LOL.
I work for another company that advertises for new employees often with the same reaction. Maybe s
those who are NOT in-the-know should keep their opinions to themselves unless they know facts. The company I work for is hiring over 100 MTs as well due to two new accounts between now and the end of the year too. Maybe a few of the biggies have lost a few accounts that the mid-size MTSOs can handle in a more personal manner. Perhaps hospitals are FINALLY getting tired of the offshore garbage they are getting back from some of the other nationals. Either way, there are some major accounts changing services and a few of the mid-size MTSOs will need to pull from the transcriptionists out there looking for a better job!
usually it's just an uproductive CYA knee jerk "do something" reaction (SM)
some supervisors like to lash the troops in turn when they get negative feedback ... others issue these blanket condemnations (suggesting their team is made up of lazy, unprofessional, dullards) to, in turn, show THEIR supervisor that they 'DID SOMETHING' ...
I wish they realized just how demoralizing these missives are ... and how often they reflect very bad new employee training and QA; lousy ongoing communication wrt to client feedback as well as changes in account specifics ... and let's not talk about obviously outdated, poorly written and/or incomplete and/or confusing and/or contradictory account specifics
oh, and then there's the cowardice of sending group memo to everyone rather than actually -- actually -- discussing the problem(s) with the offending MTs (who likely had no idea their work quality was unacceptable (or they would have fixed it).
I know supervisors are hideously overtaxed with far too many MT's and accounts to oversee ... but yes, I've worked under nothing but bad news supervisors and it sucks.
