the few I have known and had the misfortune to work with typed garbage all day long, complained about not getting all the good work and FORGET about giving any QA feedback to them. They won't accept it at all and God forbid the feedback come from a WOMAN of all people.

NASTY prima donna QA people ...
Guys, help me with something because obviously I'm missing a crucial piece of the QA puzzle somewhere. How is it that QA folks who are PAID both more money than us and also sometimes on an hourly basis (and justifiablly so because of their presumed higher skill level) to fill in blanks GRIPE and COMPLAIN when they are called upon to do so? I simply don't understand, especially when there are obvious issues with the dictation, i.e. bad sound file, low voice volume, ESL's, etc. (I'm not talking about a situation where an MT may not have given his/her best effort to the dictation [which I don't think at all is as prevalant as some of the prima donnas would have us believe]). What did they think, that they were going to continue to do the same job as the rest of us but get paid a premium just because they are who they are?
And I'm not at all speaking in reference to those QA folks who are a blessing to the industry in terms of their talent, the nature of their feedback, and their mentoring capacity. I'm sure, though, that many of you recognize the kind that I am speaking of.
A clue: If you don't have the patience to fill in blanks and give constructive feedback, then please ... DO US ALL A FAVOR and stay an MT. The majority of us give the best that we have to each and every one of our dictations, but sometimes we reach an impasse with a particular chart that requires only a second listen to put together a quality final product and get it back to the facility. We don't need the stress of your nasty, superior attitude and sometimes not-at-all-helpful feedback.
