We can keep dreaming

I am currently head of QA for a company and do everything else as well, hiring, firing, etc., and I am looking for another job because I don't like how they treat the MTs. We are incredibly short staffed because we use outdated equipment and the company won't supply it. We only have 11 people covering every account we have and it's working the good people to death. The other day the office manager contacted one MT telling her she needs to work that day and I told her that was the MTs day off (this particular person had worked 19 days with only one day off) and her response was I don't care, she needs to work. I told them this is the quickest way to run people off. I'm working 7 days a week as well and sometimes I think it would be easier just to actually transcribe, but then there's the problem of finding a good company with a decent rate.

you are dreaming
all of you KS pollyannas need to realize that there are people who have had very negative experiences with KS - whether it be the pay, the managers, the work, or with the 666 owner. It is true that there are differences even within companies, and I think at that point it is the owners obligation to streamline things all the way across the board if they want to continue a good reputation. Obviously, someone has done something very wrong at KS - and I think these complaints normally start at the top and then trickle down - we're not all looney-tunes -
You're dreaming.....
24-hour time-frame in this day and age of not enough work with turn-arounds of a few hours...I wish 24-hour turn-around. Good luck in your search.
I don't think she/he is dreaming...because that is what I make :-) N/M

Should we wake you up or did you want to keep dreaming?
Just kidding :-).
Ahhhh, in a perfect world...
That's what I thought too. Now I know I wasn't dreaming. Thanks. -nm

Was I dreaming, or did TT say they were going to be going to their own web-based transcription
platform? I swear I was told this, but can't remember when or by whom.
Also, has anyone ever asked to switch accounts? Are they ever open to this?
Was I dreaming or did a certain company advertise for ESL MTs at 15 to 20 cpl a week or so ago and
now it's suddenly 9 to 13 cpl? I tried to take their test and one of the questions they asked was what you were making. 
Maybe I was dreaming. I copied the ads I applied to and that one seems to be missing.
You are dreaming: Hope for the best and prepare for the WORST
Why don't you NAME these companies.
killing one's self?
Something is definitely wrong here: The apostrophe!
No selection for you.
Cute :-) Yep, we got paid today. Now I can buy that popsicle I was dreaming about ... LOL nm
