As I pointed out before..........
;P

I'm glad you pointed this out.
everytime I work "extra" as they ask, it ends up getting taken back with either REALLY hard work for a few days where my line count suffers OR they run completely out and tell me to 'hold off tonight'! It really is disgusting!

It pointed out something that NEEDED to be said
The OP is BRAND NEW. She has no idea what is right or wrong. She just believes her way is right and QA is wrong, even "made up". Paddywhack is right. You follow the preferences of the account that provides your paycheck. If you get a different job, their preferences will probably be different. That doesn't make them wrong. It just means that those are the rules you have to follow to get the paycheck. It's not rocket science. It's common sense. The OP needs to get off her high horse and stop thinking she knows everything and start learning what her employer wants so she can KEEP getting that paycheck.

Are you asking me about OSI? I don't understand why I'm being pointed out
regarding this company. Please elaborate.

That is exactly why I pointed out her errors . . .
Otherwise I would never have done that.

I dont know why its not been pointed out yet..
that the money you are saving in gas, you are paying back into a higher car payment. Yes the hybrids save on money your putting in at the pump, but instead youre going to just turn around and put it into the finance company who youre making your payment to. Compare the prices...generally...with any given model...a gas model as opposed to same model in a hybrid runs anywhere in the neighborhood of $10,000-$15,000 more. Youre not actually saving any money, youre just sending it somewhere else.

So true. Or you have pointed out sm
about 5 or 6 serious medical terminology errors in the job and they want to ignore those and argue about something trivial that was pointed out (and you are still right to point out). You can't win for losing in this job. I get the same excuses all the time. There are some extremely nasty MTs out there but they can argue all they want about how they've always done things, when the quality score comes out and they are below 98% I just laugh.

Must have been my ability to overlook. Now that it's pointed out,
I did scroll back down and see a bit. Guess I'll go back to overlooking them again, life's easier that way.

I've pointed this out before, but here's a rerun...
You have to vote the opposite of what you want. It's crazy, but I think it's like that deliberately so that it's harder to get the 10 thumbs down votes to automatically have the post removed. Like I said, I've tried to tell the moderators this at least 2 other times, and yet it goes unfixed.

Not always ... as a poster pointed out below, with One Suite, it is $1.80 per hour. sm

So, if you can't get unlimited, that's the next best thing. Best I was offered with an 800-number was 9 cpl. So (at 300 lph).......... I could make $27 per hour and not pay long distance ......... or I could make $33 per hour and pay $1.80 per hour ... hmmmm ...... the math seems easy. :-)

Just my take on things, of course.

Careful girls, this is NOT the religion board as pointed out above!
