that you don't have 2 nickels to rub together or that's all you have. They don't know your personal situation. You signed on to transcribe either as an employee or as an IC. I am assuming TT hires ICs. Am I correct? As an IC you have an opportunity to work for other clients. TT cannot hold you hostage 24 hours a day so that you cannot make an income if they fall short on work. How can they control the workflow any better than what they already do? They can't make people dictate to keep Suzy Q paying her mortgage.
As for Gourdpainter, sure she helps and all that and so do many others that do not use a moniker. It's not our problem she got caught; it's her fight as it has been all along. She knowingly posted the info with the idea that it could be read by all.
Even complainers should be heard. We cannot discriminate against posters just because they complain. I agree we need a place to vent. When we do, we get the cheerleaders that say we are liars and that's okay too. Whatever floats everyone's boats.
All I can say is things happen for a reason. If we are careful in what we post knowing this forum can be seen by the companies, I think we've then stepped into a new dimension.
If anyone here thinks for one minute that companies just merely post job ads and leave, then they are sadly misinformed. We can't have our cake and eat it, too. If we want companies to post jobs here, then they certainly should be able to look at posts regarding their company and comments, etc. MTs post their resumes here. Don't you think they want the companies looking at those resumes? Isn't that the whole purpose for posting it, so that the companies will check out their resume and maybe call them first with a job offer?
I'm a little saddened at the way this board has gotten since this Gourdpainter thing happened. Yes, there were plenty of cat fights before that, but nothing to this extreme at least not the 3 years I've been coming here.
I enjoy reading other's posts, all of them, even if I don't agree.
