I'm actually kind of amused how how some folks think that only because 15% of the work does to India it is somehow okay. If I were to say, well, I use heroin, but only 15% of the time, would that be okay? It is what is called in philosophy Reasoning from a False Cause. And Cuba Gooding (I think it was) was right: SHOW ME THE MONEY seems to be the new motto. I'll me out of there by the end of the month.

To mortified and fatcat

Thank you both for having compassion for the MTs at the Q, and I feel very sorry for what you are going through now and will be faced with in the future. The Q has certainly set the stage for disaster in this industry.

I would not be surprised if CBay buys out Transcend in the next 2 years to ensure that Indians own all of the transcription in our country.

Thank you both also for standing up for the Americans, especially us MTs willing to work, sitting at our chairs 12 to 18 hours a day trying to get our work in.

The MTSOs do use the excuse that there are no MTs but we all know that is not true. People here in America want to work, we want to provide for our families. We want to pay our taxes to benefit our country.

You both have just inspired a change in me as well!

I just wanted you to know that the Q guys and girls feel your pain and will be praying for you all.
