Beautiful architecture everywhere.  FABULOUS food everyplace you go.  Nice people and plenty of wine, shops, museums, sidewalk cafes, etc.  Tons of things to do and see.

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WORKING FOR DTS, BRENTWOOD BRANCH?

HILL-OH-REE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.  No job is worth this wage. 

When I was a new grad in 2005 I was offered 7 cents per line for every single company I was offered a position with and that was a good bit of companies, btw. That was employee status and that was IC position too. Even now with 1-2 years experience I get offers of 8.5-9 cents a line. 

Now MTSOs are profiting off of slave labor. How can you sleep at night knowing that you are paying your MTs HALF of what they should be making?  I cannot wait til their doctors make it impossible for them to profit too.  Happy day.

All I can say is everyone has to start somewhere and just becuase you are a new grad from college doesnt mean you are paid half of what you should be paid. 

PATHETIC.   

I get making an MT prove themselves for a few weeks at a lower rate (until off of QA) and then up it to 6-7 cents.  If they aren't worth it.. DROP THEM. 

My MTSO was so honest and fair.  She would NEVER EVER think of paying that crap.  We need more people like her.  Out for her employees and not herself. 

You know, maybe it's just my PMS speaking today, but I plan on getting my own accounts and I will NEVER EVER treat my employees like crap and pay them like that.

For 2 weeks of full time work (which for us MTs just starting out is OVER 40 hours) you pay them (based on 12,000 lines a payperiod) 360 (.03) without taxes taken out?? When they should be making $720 (.06) on the low end of the totem pole? 

Wow.  You guys are makin out!!

Does anyone still do that "fleecing of America" segment (or whatever it was called)?  We are being fleeced!!!!!  But again, the other side which promotes offshoring will present a stronger side than us.  All we would get is emotional support from a minority of viewers, which doesn't last long.  We will be told, as I have, "No one is making you do this job.  If you don't like it, do something else."  The public has to realize how important this job is to THEIR well-being.  Now, they can be told that offshoring is saving them money and they will like that. 

That's where our professionalism comes into play but the only way I can see to prove the need for our services is to have all other alternatives fail and have that make a major impact somehow to make people aware, especially the physicians, that we need qualified AMERICAN MTs for America's health records.  Odd thing is, greed gets one only so far.  Then it tends to backfire -- taxes, breach of confidentiality, etc.   Some of those "loopholes" may backfire someday.   

I just sent my hubby down to Walmart to pursue the sunlight lamp.  I think I am really gonna like it!!!!!   I am recommending it to my colleagues. Thanks for the post, MTs !!!!

when we run out of work, I have to call in and have them special-assign me the ASR reports that just sit there like a lump and can't come to me automatically anymore since I don't (and won't) do ASR.  Getting sick of it, too. 

At least I do know what's going on now, after researching it via various sources. I pity the others who don't know and just assume there's totally no more work on the account at that point without checking.  Those ASR reports do "turn over" at some point and go automatically to whoever's on, but they have to just sit there for awhile first, waiting for an ASR MT to come and do them.  Isn't that just GREAT for patient care, too? 

Didn't someone around here (in a dictator gripe thread) talk about how one of thier dictators would "fill the space/silence" by repeating "period, period, period, period"???  This has GOT to be the same guy that I've got right now!  How very annoying!  He can sure make 5.5 minutes feel like an ETERNITY!! 

I think I would prefer the ones that "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" or hummmmm or something to this "period, period, period, uh, uh, uh, period, period" crapola! Yikes! Somebody save me!

I was thinking of testing with DTS America in Nashville and just wondering what anyone knew about them. 

Thanks

Do you believe that:

A:  Poverty is mostly the result of poor choices in life, either by yourself or by your parents and grandparents before you, thereby setting up the vicious cycle.  Early parenthood, out-of-wedlock births, no father in the home, recycled boyfriends in and out of a home, lack of early childhood stimulation with books/toys, lack of routine and academic expectations, etc. 

OR

B:  Poverty is societal.  Poor people have no choices in America and no real opportunity or ability to raise themselves out of poverty.  The way to end poverty is to increase social programs until people are not living in poverty anymore.  Poverty is societies fault and the government's fault and therefore theirs to fix.

PC engineering, phone operators, telemarketers, anything you can telecommunicate is being offshored.  Its a very unbalanced economy right now.  Rich are richer, and there is less consumption as a whole by the middle class as we get poorer, notice how prices are rising?  Its more expensive to live here than anywhere and the wages are steadily dropping.  My mother had a great idea of collecting credit cards, since she gets a few of them a year, cashing out and moving to Mexico. 

They teach the people in the call centers in India that 35=10 - meaning that a 35 year old from the U.S. has the I.Q. equivalent of a 10-year-old Indian.  Indian tutors that teach American kids over the internet say that a 9th and 10th grader from the U.S. is the equivalent of a 7th grader from India.  South Africa and Bulgaria will be the wave of the future for outsourcing.  I am just horrified at all this.
