They have to drive a whole 10 miles. I am so jealous.

WOW.  They have to drive a whole ten miles.  I am so jealous.   Since MANAGEMENT is based in Madison, Wisconsin and it takes 20 minutes to travel from one end of the city to the other, I do not think driving through the snow for a SPA weekend is all that much of a bonus.  Now Cancun.  That would be a bonus.

We also work part time for MQ BECAUSE WE CAN............

now for all those down on us PT'ers.......go take a chill pill and MYOB.

What I do and how I work is NO BUSINESS of the *observer* nor anybody else. 

from a job when everyone works at home?  At least I think everyone is working at home.  I have worked places where I didn't like the people I worked with, but as long as I don't have to look at them all day what do I care?

I am starting to believe there is a certain percentage of people in MT (at whatever level) who are unbelievably sensitive to the point where they cannot work with or for anybody, either because they get upset over some imagined insult or because they are trying to be the top dog and aren't.

I am not a recruiter, but you shouldn't not hire someone because they have a life.  It is a shame that MTs do not use discretion when they need time off or need to shift gears so to speak.  The fact that you know personal information, i.e., mother to the doctor, kids to school, is unfortunate.  However, I would chalk this up to being honest.  I do not remember the last time a company offered to take my children to school or to pay my electric bill for using my own computer at home to do their work.  I am an IC, so I write it off, but if I were an employee then where is the compensation. 

Have you thought for an instant that some MTs think 7 or 8 cpl is not worth the hassle of being CLOCKED every minute?  I am a very successful Transcriptionist and do the work I am required to do.  I work for a company that knows the true meaning of IC in that I work from a pool.  If I cannot work today, then someone else is trained to do the work.  If I can work tomorrow, then all is well and everyone is happy including my bill collectors.

I am one of those that does not like to work when my husband is home, but I am reachable.  The fact that I have my own accounts is helpful.  On the other hand, I have offered to work more, and told that there is no work.  So, I go with the flow.  I offer up Sundays and offer two late nights a week.  I have also pitched in when someone took work and then had an emergency.  Computers do fail, children do get sick, and if I were on-site I would have to leave for these types of situations as well. 

I have worked on-site, and they were much more understanding that what comes from some of these rants regarding good MTs.

With all of that said, please don't clump us all together.  In all fairness, there may be an MT out there that does get looked past because they do not have the required hands-on experience, but they may be a great typist, and no one will give them the chance.    

Jealous of whom?  A pregnant girl wanting to start a family?  I've had 27 months (9x9x9) combined pregnancy of my own, so the 'jealousy' accusation is in your head only, dear, but thank you for telling me what I'm (supposedly) thinking, anyway.  And as for telling me to go break my leg and not having to worry about production I think those 2 are mutually exclusive issues - maybe you've learned to type with your toes, I haven't.  As far as my worrying about my production (thanks AGAIN for telling me what I'm thinking) - no worries at all there.

If I were you, I'd brush up on my basic grammar and watch those apostrophes where they're supposed to be going -- you couldn't pass a simple third grade spelling test and worrying about production would be the least of YOUR worries!
