In Reply to: Do 16 y/o babysitters make $74k/year? That's what I sm - Well-Paid MT

You used to have nice normal-sized fingers and now they're worn down to little stubs, aren't they? I made $58 1 year, but it was a great account and I rarely took a day off. Just didn't find it worth it, but 20 yrs. ago would have been able to pull it off with no problem. Congrats to you, though!

I must admit.....
That's cute!!

Here we go again! You have to admit,
nm

Oh c'mon! Admit it.........sm
it's the nasty, "go for the jugular" posts that keep these boards entertaining. If we all posted polite little messages, I'd be bored to death.

Oh my goodness! I have to admit that I
honestly am flabbergasted at all the praises TT gets. Its actually so wonderful, yet I admit that I have had my doubts in the past as well, as it is just so completely unheard of in our industry anymore to have a company that is great to work for. I admit, I'm jealous. Though hopefully I can turn my jealousy into a positive and actually push myself to apply for a position with TT. I have thought this over the last few weeks, and then talk myself out of it because I figure its too late - all the positions must be filled. See what spending a lifetime working for a cold huge national can do to one's self-esteem? I need to make changes in 2007, and applying at TT is on the very top of the list! I think I would burst into a river of tears if I even got a card, let alone a gift - anything. I have devoted nearly 20 years to one company, and expect nothing, absolutely nothing. Its sad, isn't it?

The MQ'ers just don't like to admit that (sm)
they are working for a company who abuses them, and they stay there and put up with it, kind of like an abused wife. I for one believe you, cause my company is also hiring a lot of MQ'ers. There really ARE companies who values good MT's. It's really sad they can't believe this, but I guess it makes them feel better for putting up with the abuse. Who knows. Congrats on your new job. BTW, I have never worked for MQ - came close, but didn't. Thank the Lord.

Hate to admit this
I applied for it. But you have to have Docshuttle, which is I think around $100, and from what I hear it wouldn't be worth it even if were only $10. I'm desperate enough that I'd have taken it and hoped for a good raise after the 6 cents. Oh, well...guess I better get back to filling out my Hy-Vee application.

You are 1 of those who will never admit being wrong,
even if it is proved to them that they are wrong. Not only refusing to admit that they were wrong, even starting foul language against the 1 who is right.

And they behave the same when it comes to their private life, to interhuman relationships, friends, family etc, not being able to admit their mistakes and aplogize, not being able to say, 'I am sorry,' our of their stubbornness.

YOU should NOT be an MT.

I'll admit . This is the only thing I don't - sm
like about MDI. The staff is wonderful, I love the flexibility and my accounts are great, but I don't like paying for LD and having to use a C-phone. Supposedly, all of their accounts are to go wave eventually, but who knows when?

I'm sure they will admit it and state that 100% of their Indian MTs
zzzzz

I'm 1st to admit I am no expert but I have worked
you have obviously formed an opinion of me without REALLY knowing me. C'e LA vie.

Make everyone admit offshore is a fact. sm
Maybe, if we MTs and MTSOs put it so out there that this is happening, even if the facilities/doctors would prefer to turn their backs and ignore it, they will have to admit it goes on and either contiue using offshore, or pay higher for US MTs. This seems to be the elephant in the room and we need to annouce to everyone there is a pacyderm in the doctor's office.

so, you admit to starting a thread to antagonize?
nm

Transcend does. If you look, they advertise on the Jobs board but they admit that
they send work overseas.

Yeah, have to admit..my "dream fairy" is pretty much snuffed out. I bet there are not many dre
left out there. We are now skeptical and bitter. Time to retire and travel LOL

I have to admit my line count has improved since reading the board
I see how everyone else is doing, and then I can set goals for me, though I am too shy to be on the goal board yet. I have to thank the board for that. It teaches me what is possible, and also that we can only do our best. I have to agree totally about how it has been a godsend.
