No suit here, sad sack...

In Reply to: A couple of times a year the suits post as - me
Hey, ME (how original...)- if it's been awhile since you've been there, who could you know anything? I like where I work, and many of my friends do as well. We could all stand to make more money, but I know for a fact I'm making more bank than 90% of you out there, just based on my speed and accuracy and the amount of lines I average. I used to work a FT job AND a PT job and didn't make combined what I make here! You just have to know your stuff, be disciplined at home and good at what you do. Sounds like you were lacking all the way around. Let me guess- you are now an IC, riight? Why- no one would have you? Oh, you like your FREEDOM, riiight...while you are enjoying your freedom, which is just saying you don't have enough work to keep you off the boards all day, I'm putting out about 2K lines a day at a top line rate too. The few times I call in they've been nice (never met any of them though), and they are always sending me thank you notes and stuff. You enjoy your "time off"- I got vacations to pay for! If you want to come back, email me. I'll get a referral bonus!

YOU'RE A SACK OF CRAP!! YOU'RE NOT
THE ADMINISTRATOR. WHAT DO YOU THINK WE ARE IDIOTS???
 
We are not threatening a suit,
These people stole our lines, we earned way less than the federal minimum wage, and we want our money. I could have earned more money at McDonald's!!! Just FYI, not meant to be rude to you.
Sorry we cant be Ayran and hairless enough to suit you.

It is not a class action suit as of yet
It is not certified class action because MQ filed for the proceedings to be held in NJ with all the other law suits. Therefore, this is stalling the certification of the suit to class action. They have received numerous calls over the checks.
Of course they cannot offer legal advise as they are not representing all MQ MTs as of yet, it is still the original 3 that filed, but I don't think it would be wise to cash it. That is just me. I know there are those that will disagree and call me names, but thats my two cents.
You can customize IT to suit your typing needs
You can customize IT to better suit your needs.
For marker selection, you can select what marker keys you would like to use from a list of options in Instant Text. Right-click on the phrases advisory and go to Options and Marker Selection. There, you can select what word marker and phrase markers you would like to use.
You can also adjust the visual feedback. If you find the advisory lines difficult, you may want to start off with using just a few advisory lines. To change the advisory lines temporarily, right-click on the words advisory and select the number of lines you wish to have. To set up the number of advisory lines to a permanent number, you can do so in the Linking Options.
You can also work with zero visual feedback if you like. Simply hit "Alt-" (that’s ALT and the "-" hyphen key) to hide IT's visual feedback.
You may want to try to do straight typing for X amount of hours per day and just use IT for an hour or two and slowly build-up your time each day.
You can always email the Instant Text tech support if you need any help. 
I was in a class action suit once & got $600

I'd hit mine just getting in my bathing suit. nm
For that amt of $, I'd be filing suit. I can't believe you're going to
I was involved in a class action suit
against PayPal, probably 2 years ago, haven't seen a penny. I was in a class action suit another time, can't remember who, and I did get some $$, I think about $15.00. I don't initiate anything, just get e-mails or letters about them.
If you want to sue, you MUST have damages to sue for. GO to the DOCTOR or a suit is worthless.
I've seen enough Judge Judy (I love her, too!) to know this. If you have no damages, you get no money. With no PROOF of damages, you basically have no damages.
You would need to take pictures of any scrapes and bruises that you have as a result of being dragged, falling, the leash pulling you, etc. You also need a doctor's report. A judge won't just take your word that you were hurt. Good luck!
pufting on flarme retardant suit sm
Professionalism is an attitude, not a particular vocation.
The collective bantering on this board is the kind of thing that, to me, denigrates MT just as much as low wages and newbies coming in undercutting the rest of us.
I don't see very many MTs with a good attitude. I am no different, and, therefore, I'm getting out. Big old red flag when I can't even talk nicely to others in my profession. Plain and simple. Do I have a ton of resources? NO. Do I make a ton of money that I can pull this off? NO. I am trying to be smart and patient about it.
What I read on this board truly depresses me. I see a bunch of negative, defensive, downtrodden, burned out people.
I know PLENTY of professionals in PLENTY of other fields who have made the decision to work at home, or work part time, because their family is EQUAL priority to their careers. They do not appear to have a priority problem to me, nor do I think they care any less about what they do. They have made tough decisions, made some challenging sacrifices, and have a LOT of discipline.
If proven fraud, will you file suit against her?

Hhhmm, and what color suit are you wearing

changing verbs to suit nouns
I do, I do !!!
I think they will see these newbies run faster and harder than we ever did if something doesnt suit.

Okay, I hate to be the one to scream law suit, but this reeks of discrimination.
I would seriously check out the descirmination laws in your state because that is exactly what this is.... Oh as a Large and Lovely girl myself, I am furious along with you. Okay not that I would ever want to work for a company who had the moral ethics of a flea, but they need to learn that they cannot treat people like this. Man the nerve..
File a suit i Small Claims Court! -nm

Who gets tired of changing verbs to suit the noun?
If I hear this one more time, I will scream. "There is no masses."
          
Yep, I say a combo suit with the landscapers! And the baby pool owner!!
Sounds to me like a class action law suit just waiting to happen! nm

could it have to do with the class action law suit, my credit card company did that once...
they sent me a check of some money they supposedly owed me because someone filed a class action suit regarding their not posting monies received the same day and therefore charging people late fees, etc. I got like $3.46 for something or other.
perhaps it was a class action suit that was filed, and then of course MQ would have to go back and pay any monies due to everyone regarding the line-count discrepency issue.
maybe I am way-off, but if it is on the QT, that could be why. once they pay you off, they are no longer liable, right?.
anyone else have any ideas?
Talk about blowing smoke! No one, not one MQ MT has "joined" the class action suit.
Its not even up to that point yet. We will be notified and given the legal options via the legal system. So, if you claim you "joined it", you joined nothing - just gave your name to the laywers. Nothing more, so get over yourself. If there is nothing more to pursue after discovery, you won't be joining anything!
Work in a hospital and no one cares about quality, unless there is a malpractice law suit involved.
All anyone worries about is quantity. The work is terrible and the only time anyone even acknowledges it is when a doctor is being sued. When my son was operated on I had to marked his leg in permanent marker before surgery because left/right get mixed up so much. You can tell reports that comes from India and my supervisor sits there and laughs with us. Due to the "freeze" we haven't had raises in over 5 years.
I think by pant suit we all meant slacks, blouse, and a matching jacket, not the actual (sm)
one-piece pantsuit (read: Brady Bunch!) from the 70s. Thanks for all your replies. Very helpful.
I was going to say unless you were the original 3 brave souls named on the original suit.
I still had heard lately that no one else, not one person, had been allowed to join in, so you must be in a separate class??
If you are employee, unless suit against your employee
otherwise the posts on here as far as I can see telling it like it is. I think a lot of the posts are so young they just don’t have a clue as to what it means to be an employee. You do as your employee wants (I am talking reason now, not stupidity as far as sexual advances, etc) or else you find another company that fits your personality better. You do not confront, you do not tell your employee no, that is their job, not yours. This is such a simple thing for people who have been in the work force for any period of time.
