Yes, it's all come down to the mighty TAT.

You know, their TAT data might look better if they'd fix their TAT time clocks! I timed mine on several occasions, and it's about 50 percent too fast.
For example, if you start a report that has 40 minutes on it, and you type for 20 min., you'll be out of TAT.
So why worry? It's wrong from the get-go.

What I said above was not high and mighty.
Maybe this is why you feel I'm high and mighty because you sound very childish or not educated. I did not post the above to be demoralizing; I was referring to any MT thinking work is their property when it is not. If you work for a company whether it be employee or IC, you are doing their work not your work. 
P/S: I'll ask my 14 year old son what does my bad mean? Maybe he can explain it to me because I am wondering if that is childish slang..
That should improve the high and mighty..sm
condescending attitude of US QA's. Some of them, you can't do anything right...one way today, contradicting themselves tomorrow. But then we have to remember the QAs are PAID TO FIND FAULT.
Are you the mighty fast one who works for .07 cpl?
It's great that you manage to earn $20/hr on 7cpl. Just think of what you could earn in an hour at a company that paid you a decent line rate...
A little QA feedback for Ms high-and-mighty
You should take it a step further than simply pointing out the missing hyphen.
1. The first sentence is a hypothetical/counterfactual statement. It is missing its subjunctive verb, i.e. I will bet, I would bet, I'd bet, I'll bet.
2. The introductory phrase believe me requires a comma after it.
That same sentence is a bit of a run-on, so there are a number of corrections that could be made, short of making more than one sentence out of it (a more preferable approach to cleaning it up). Here are a few helpful suggestions to recast the monstrosity Believe me, I have been in this business for over 20 years, and I get these emails and resumes from girls who want more money, and they have all this experience but, when they are given the editing test, they cannot even pass. Commas have been added after me, years, money, but and test. Thay has been corrected to they. Let's not even try to talk about the lack of consistency in verb agreement within the same run-on.
3. Even with its corrections, it still sucks. An alternative suggestion would be as follows: Believe me, I have been in this business for over 20 years. I have gotten (keeping the verb agreement consistent) these emails and resumes from applicants (not the more condescending, master/slave girls reference) who want more money, and who say they have all this experience (eliminating the more awkward original transition). When they are given the editing test, they cannot even pass.
4. Next, we have another speculative statement which, again, is missing its required subjunctive verb, i.e., I would guarantee, I will guarantee, I'd guarantee, I'll guarantee.
5. …you would not pass my editing test, either. The missing comma appears where it belongs.
6. I was taught that we do not begin sentences with the word and. If she insists, then it would be: And, by the way, after a 30-day trial period, I do pay more. The 3 missing commas in that sentences now appear. Better still, start the sentence with By the way, ….
What I would do is send her the above QA feedback and state the obvious…that she failed to meet the minimum 98% accuracy rate and that she needs to go edit herself.
Um - Ms. high 'n mighty -- what happened to
I decided to stay put and look for a better job while still working. I've been looking for 2 years. No point in going with another at-home job for a national - just more of the same. If I'm going to fork out $400 a month for COBRA insurance while I change jobs, I want that change to be for the BETTER. Actually, I'm hoping to get out of at-home slavery, and back to an on-site job. In some parts of the country those still exist, but in my area they're almost nonexistent.
These people were LIED TO, by a company that up until the point that they were selling out, had apparently been quite honest and above-board with all their MTs. So no wonder they opted to believe what they were told and wait it out.
Don't sit in judgement of anybody until you've walked a mile or two in their shoes.
Which could happen, you know. Your company may be next.
I'm feeling mighty depressed sitting here waiting on
