So, doing you job right is stressful?

Exactly! It's also less stressful!
That's why I love my company. I have 2 excellent accounts (I really lucked out) with great managers, and I can work whenever I want and make an excellent paycheck every 2 weeks. No one bothers me, and I get my work done. I actually turned down a management position once because I was so happy just doing MT.
It's MORE STRESSFUL!
Sorry, I guess you don't know. That's why you asked. I would say 99% of the reports have MAJOR corrections where it would be easier and faster to just type the whole report. Only in a blue moon do I ever get one of those dreamy reports with only a few corrections. They're putting everyone on it now, including all the ESLs. I spend MORE TIME correcting one of these pieces of chit than it would take to type it myself from the beginning. No, most of us don't make a lot of money doing it. Only the ones with the very good dictators. My pay has gone down half even though I get 30% less than if I had straight typed it. It is LESS PRODUCTIVE than straight typing when editing ESLs and fast talkers. You will lose money. I know. This really sucks. And I'm really sick of it. Hoping I win Powerball tonight.
And it would be a lot less stressful
doesn't look like the greeters are stressed, most of them look like they are actually enjoying their jobs.
sounds stressful

Doing our job is stressful, but being perfect is impossible....
There is such a thing has high expectations, but when it goes beyond that.....
It IS very stressful. I'm so stressed out from the rollercoaster
Last week made good lines, good money. Even got an email that said the slow period was over. This week? Nothing.
I've been doing this hardcore for the past year with different companies even. I can't take it anymore but MT is all I know how to do, been doing it for almost 20 years.
I hope things settle down and less stressful for everyone. nm

We are opposite, not as stressful for me and the money is fine
I make at least $20 or more per hour and that is ok with me, plus the fact that the ESLs that are on there (which there are many!) I am happy because it will get those a lot easier than I need to rack my brain for.
