This is supposed to be an AMERICAN MT BOARD (as per the moderator) and they have their own boards.

I am sick to death of everyone training them to do our jobs better! 

Does that mean people aren't sick or dictators on strike? 

I would never be too sure of any company not shipping out work.  I know of one that DENIED they would ever do anything so horrific and all the while shipped work offshore.  They said they needed to do this to compete but didn't want to own up to it. 

Trust no one but yourself.

Hi Jay,  I took the survey just now, but one caveat I have that I was hoping to be able to comment on in the survey but it was not asked (and I believe is a key component to the way people will respond favorably or not to VR) is what VR platform they are using.  They are definitely not all created equal.  I work on eScription, which is MS Word-based, and have made more money doing eScription VR than straight typing (previously also in an MS Word-based platform).  I have seen another person's experience in a non-MS Word-based platform, and they have not had the same experience as I have had with tremendous gains in productivity.  It is a platform that basically resides in a Web browser window and prohibits use of all the built-in MS Word productivity tools (autocorrect, autotext, spell check).  Some people seem to think that the need/use of these tools vanishes in VR, but it does not.  So, robbed of such tools in a non-MS Word-based system such as some VR platforms, there will probably be disappointing gains in productivity compared to MS Word-based VR platforms.  I can attest to this personally.  This goes for platforms that will not work with Expanders such as InstantText (which I use) or any of the other Expander programs.  So, what I am saying in summary is that not all VR platforms/programs are created equal, and I think it is very important to distinguish which platform people use that are responding to your survey, because I feel that greatly influences their experience with VR and, hence, response to your questions on the survey.  Good luck with your speaking....

The only way I see it, is if you graduate from one of the top 3 programs out there and do well, jobs are definitely out there.  Otherwise, I wouldn't even know what to tell them.  Good luck! :)

wonder when people will just get over it and do what they can and move on. 

"F--- off".

When people first started coming to America, it was an undeveloped country.  Aside from the Indians, there were no other people living here.  What other language was there aside from what the Indians spoke?  The new Americans and the Indians learned to communicate with each other and both sides learned the other's language.  It only stands to reason, however, that English would be the dominant language, as they became the majority of those living in America. 

Also, when our founding fathers came to America, they and the others that then followed made America what it was and is today.  THEY are the ones who made America great by the blood, sweat and tears of their families.  They had every right to come over here as they were the ones doing all the work!!!!!  They did that work to take care of the future generations of Americans. 

But now our "powers that be" in the government do not make decisions based on AMERICAN best interests, but for people from other countries.  To be politically correct, we have flooded our country with people that want to prosper from OUR WORK.  They do not come over here and better America in any way.  They better their own little circle of family and actually make life harder for the people who belong here in the first place. 

That is the difference between immigrants then and now.  The more we let them in now, the more jobs we lose, the higher our bills become, the more terrorism we face.  When do WE benefit???????  It has nothing to do with prejudice either.  Who cares what they look like, where they are from?  It doesnt matter.  What matters is what they expect, what handouts they want, the bending of the rules for them while we get no break.

If you are Native American, then I would think that  you would be sick and tired of having all you work for taken away from you.  I know that I am.

they have a mechanism in place to allow you multiple installs. This only gives you 3.

If you want to make more money, then become the business owner, take the risks and then you'll have the additional income. You'll never get rich working for someone else. Complaining and badmouthing management and other business owners never translates into more $$ in the check--sometimes people complain themselves right out of a job.

I know this board is an "open forum" for all topics. It's just unfortunate that so much of the talk is about how terrible management/business owners are. There are lots of good MTSOs out there!

We are not an MTSO, we are employees of the facility working out of our homes.  I will keep track of the e-mails though as you have suggested. 

I do believe though that it is more or less passing the buck.  That way if it was supposed to be in there and it wasn't the doc has someone else to blame.  Thanks everyone.
