They won't. It is common for a company to be bashed into the ground once it seems people are hap

but I'll answer anyway.  I work Sun-Thu on 1 account at MDI.  I am committed to 800 lpd but my account is always needing extra help.  This Saturday alone, my day off mind you, I got in an extra 800 lines.  Now before I am accused of stealing other people's lines, we were asked to work extra on the account to keep it in turnaround time.  My hours vary from day to day - but since I'm only committed to 800 lpd, I can usually get them in in under 4 hours.  I generally work an hour in the morning (9-10), 2 hours in the afternoon (1-3) and 1 hour in the evening usually after 9 or 10.  No weird graveyard hours or anything.

I guess your experience at MDI would really depend on the account you get.  I guess I must be one of the lucky ones because my experience with MDI has been great thus far.  I hope it continues.  For those who are hitting a rough spot, I hope it smooths out. 

I really don't have anything negative to say about MDI.  For that, I'll be bashed on this board, but that's okay because I've got tough skin. 

a company be the best.  What type of rate would you want realistically?  Benefits?  IC or employee?  Direct deposit important?  What pay schedule - weekly, every other Friday, 1st and 15th, once a month?  What makes you stay at a company?  What makes you leave?  Equipment?  Training?  QA?  Etc???

I am sorry I can not state my company.  They are very small, only about 150 MTs, and they are not hiring right now.  I did see them post twice when I was looking, though.  Watch for the small U.S. Only job posts here on MT Stars.

To the solicitor from Infraware Platforms, I am in the MT business, not the IT business.  I very nearly did give out the name of my company, and now I am glad I did not!

misleading because the fit was not good for them. 

If you have been on these boards a while, you would know that she always posts her name.  I emailed her today to tell her what was happening on here, and the response I got back was she does not even look on here as it is too upsetting and has promised herself not to come and look.  She has too much else to do with her time and defending herself and her company is always misinterpreted.  She basically told me I should spend more time working or with my family than spending time on this soap opera.

Telling us work is coming in at some time in the future is fine, but right now we have lost more than we have gained and  like you said, if we speed up we will run out quicker.  Not to mention that we will all have to work a little harder in order to make nearly the same as we did before.  Panic will make our fingers work even faster.

Remember the memo we got about over-editing.  Bet your butt we won't be over editing in the future.  If this ISR is so good, it shouldn't need too much now should it?

hear back after resigning (with notice) ME/MT position? What do you do, send another note? Not say anything?

Thanks a lot,

I spoke with one person who was looking to incorporate VR into his business (his parent's business has been operating for about 15-20 years, and he is trying to upgrade them).  He said that doctors just don't dictate correctly for VR to work properly. 

I know that I had the same problem you had.  Did you also notice that the company pays less with Edit mode than typing, so it takes you longer to do to the work and you get paid less, and the company keeps more?  It behooves the company to keep the VR; it puts more into their pocket and less in yours, without them having to deal with the headache of making sure the reports are right.
