In Reply to: Do these companies ever look at what they tell us to do? - pulling my hair out
I have gone bald too from this platform. It really sucks!!! Besides I am tired of working for pennies. 90% ESL and mostly all editing VR. I recently started with them too and I now have my resume out in lots of different places.

Pulling for you... sm
Just about everyone I know has been effected by either being laid off, downsized, or outsourced, and many people willingly, as a team, are cutting their days by one day so that everyone can keep their jobs as a group. It is really, really hard no matter what level you are at.
MDI- TL with red hair
Just to brighten up my team leaders day here, she is the one with red hair, and she is the greatest! I don't think it's always true what they say about red heads (or blondes) !!
Pulling a fast one?
What is up with these employers opting to not give their email addresses or company info when you want to apply for a job with them on this site? Makes me a little suspicious.
Pulling up thread from below. Why I believe MT is not going
anywhere for a while ...
WordPerfect 5.1
We still have clients that use it. If they are still on DOS-based word processing, do you REALLY think they are going to invest in Voice Recognition? Do you think that they are so open to change that they will welcome offshore transcription with open arms?
We have to learn technology and be ready for change, just like when typewriters were replaced by computers, but technology changes do not happy everywhere overnight.
In addition, the VR that I have seen in place has a LONG way to go. If they put it out too early, which I truly believe, it will take a lot to convince someone to give it another try. I think this is why they realize now that they cannot do without the transcription component.
Can't get rid of us that easily 
It's not only Diskriter pulling that one

Not sure what's so low rent about being a hair
Meow.
I almost threw up when I saw the hair. sM
I still to this day don't know what kind of hair it was, nor do I want to. The keyboard had some kind of nuts or seeds in it and I actually put it in a trash bag and put it in my garage because I was afraid roaches would come out of it or something. Totally disgusting. If they're not going to sanitize the equipment, they should send brand new. I also refused to use whatever headphones they sent because they didn't look new either. I always use my own.
Right now, they seem to be pulling VR editors from their MT pool nm

This TT MT is definitely pulling your leg. NO OT with TT and has not been for a number of months
Unless it is QA people for all the newbies TT has hired of late and all the new VR trainees (forced into doing VR). QA would be the ONLY employees being paid OT now.
This posting has got to be from a QA person.
long beautiful hair
LOL. Anyway, I would be interested in hearing about DeVenture, also. Are they employee or IC?
e-Tranz has been pulling this stuff for at least 5 years now
When it happened to me and about 6 others at the time (about 5 years ago), we tried to get the word out to warn others of DG's unscrupulous business practices and have been doing so ever since, but she just keeps drawing new victims in each and every time. I'm so surprised she's still in business after all this time doing so many MTs so wrong. What can be done about this to prevent other MTs from becoming her next victims besides posting on message boards? Anything?
One has red hair, one blonde, 2 brunette, 2 bald,
they are just like the ones from any other company.
Their platform made me want to pull my hair out!! (SM)
I found it relied too much on the mouse. This was back in April. I would consider going back if improvements were made to their platform. Has it gotten any better? You can e-mail me if you'd prefer. TIA
Was the poster below pulling our legs about aprons for MT week? (sm)
I went to the mail box today hoping to have received it, was a bit disappointed and then it dawned on me that someone was making a funny in reference to the Xmas cookbook. Duh to me.
I think they get tired of pulling teeth when backlogs slip. NM
So they cover that quite well not giving a rats arss about the fallout it has on us.
lol - hair equal hire - need my abbreviation to type

Putting on Nehru jackets and flowers in my hair
Interesting - my birthday is Saturday and it will be even more interesting to see what this year holds. Even with the economic mess that our country is mired in, it is a blessing for me to wake up every morning, come to work and live to see another day if God wills it. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you and have a good weekend.
Yeah, thinking about it sitting here in my sweats, hair up in a ponytail myself...sm
I must honestly say it is hard to demand respect looking like this. Thanks for making me smile!
It really does take unique people to be able to work while the kids are screaming in the background, the dog is bugging you because he wants to go outside for the hundredth time today, you know you only have one more load of laundry to catch you up for the day, and all the while you have the dictator who thinks it's ok to talk while he stuffs his mouth full of food, or to sit in the lounge where everybody is taking a break and making plans or whatever. Oh well, from the looks of thes print on these sweat pants, I haven't lost my sense of humor anyway. It is hard to be real serious when you are over 40 and running around with pink flames on your clothing, sheeesh! 
A wax doll, a long straight pin, and a lock of hair - great therapy. nm
