Would you like some cheese with that whine?
:P
Then don't whine when they send YOUR job
to India.
I for one am making less now than I was a decade ago while working more hours. I used to get paid gross lines, headers, footers, headings, CCs, demos, everything. Now, I'm cheated out of all those things even though I still have to search and type them. I'm also paid half-rate for ASR which is so bad that it takes nearly the same amount of time as straight transcription. I've also been laid off because of sending entire accounts to India.
If you want to keep your head in the sand until, not caring what's happening to fellow MTs until it actually hurts you, then fine. But I think we have VERY GOOD REASON to be upset about the cuts in pay and the offshoring of our jobs.
Silly - they'd rather whine - we have tons.

Y'all want some cheese with that whine?

Excuse me, but where in my post did I whine? I just tried to help. sm
I am relatively happy with my situation. I am sorry that you took it as whining. Hope you have a happy day.
That post was not a whine. It was just stating facts. sm
I love my job. I love the challenge and the sense of accomplishment. I feel proud of what Keystrokes has become because I have contributed to this success and growth.
Not all of our MTs are problematic, but life sometimes gets in the way of working, and as a KS manager, I help out where I can. This is my job, and I love it, but I realize that it is not for everyone. I am blessed to do something I love for a company I love to work for.
I have one suggestion..If there is no work. MOVE ON..why whine and complain on here EVERY day. I
agree with Jay. Maybe other people have OTHER things they would like to talk about besides being out of work every day at TransTech. I will say this.. with that much controversary and unhappy there, I would never work there and neither should you if your so miserable. Obviously, something is really wrong with that picture. Now, move on.. You can do better.
Agree. I have said this before --- y'all whine about no work but when there's a ton of work
do you? Just wondering. I find this perceived hostility completely out of character for TT.
Exactly. Entitlement again.
I know, I know. We deserve the courtesy of a response. We take the time to test, we are owed a response. Our children are starving, we need a response. All 100% true if that's what you feel.
However, life doesn't always come up roses, and we all need to work with what we're given. Maybe it's fate that people don't hear back. Maybe it's a sign. In the long run this, too, shall pass.
Everyone needs to take control of the things they can in life, and let go of the things they can't.
I work with a number of stage moms of little prima donas and they've given me a lot of perspective on the me! me! syndrome. I say to them often Life is not fair. It's not all about what you want, others deserve recognition, too. Relax. It only ticks them off, because they can't yet see the forest for the trees. They'll get it, someday.
(Getting off my soapbox now.)
