While I agree that cherry-picking is not fair, either, I wouldn't go as far as to call it "theft".  The MT is doing the same work, a day's or line's pay for a day's (or line's) pay.  If you were to go to a store sale, and someone else were to pick out the most desirable items first, would you also call that stealing? 

More importantly, I would not blame your fellow MT.  (They are trying to put food on the table the same as everyone else.)  I would blame the crappy, thoughtless dictators, and those who have made outsourcing possible, thus leaving all the crap work for us "cherry-picking" MTs.

MQ paid 30% less pay for ASR reports, and they took just as long to edit as they did to type sometimes, so was very frustrating.  I have heard some companies pay straight line rate difference, i.e. if you make 7 cpl typing, you'll make 4 cpl for ASR.  It is totally unfair, as like I said, it does take quite some time to edit ASR, some more/less than others.  Needless to say, I left MQ for KS, who does NOT do ASR!!!!

per keystroke, but that'll never happen.  I just think that these national companies are going to keep finding ways to cheat us.  I found a job working for a hospital as an employee, paid hourly plus incentive, and they let us expand everything!  Somebody's gonna have to kill me to make me give up this job.  I will never go back to the national's again.

I feel for you though.  I know that for us MTs those good jobs are few and far between and some have little choice but to work for the nationals.  I just happened to luck into the job I have now.  I just applied at the right time. 

Good luck to you whatever you decide.

and contact the Dept of Labor.  If they were stupid enough to put their broken promises in writing, you have every right to start a lawsuit.  We all have complaints about different companies, but what they've done is downright illegal !!!

That's what cracks me up

and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. 

A lot of my weight problem is medical, but I think more so is my emotional state.  I have a very emotionally abusive husband.  He rides me all the time about my weight.  When I was thinner (wearing a size 7 - - now wearing a size 28), he would badger me then about my weight.  It got to where I was sneaking food and of course what happened?  Now it is even worse.  I try, I really do.  I am definitely an emotional eater though. 

My husband rode me and rode me and TOLD ME to get the bypass surgery.  I had everything set up (this was about 5 years ago) with the surgeon who brought bypass to the United States.  I felt totally comfortable with him, and to top it off he is my regular physician!  Then my husband totally freaked and said that with MY LUCK, something would go wrong and he would be stuck with an invalid for a wife, and DEMANDED  that I not do it.  So, here I am - - a total of 160 pounds overweight -- and need to lose 70 of it by the end of February to have insurance.  I get so depressed sometimes that I do not even want to get out of bed.

I am going to look into Alli and the liquid diet mentioned.  I really appreciate your help and suggestions. 

I definitely think I need a support group, but I don't know who that would be.   

Anyway, I am going to look into these things.  I think I will try the liquid diet and see how it works. 

AGAIN, THANK YOU!

I really am starting to feel better about it now.  My biggest fear was that my company wouldn't wait for me to get better.  I don't mind doing the hard work, putting in more time, researching blanks, listening over and over and over, as long as they don't mind getting many blanks for a while ;)

I guess only time will tell. Thank you for the encouragement!

but I seem to operate about 90% on 'muscle memory' , which is why changing accounts is such a problem for me. 

I learned to type in high school which was a loooong time ago.  So after 40+ years of period-space-space I'm supposed quit it because some dilbert decides so?  If this becomes a QA issue, it might be the hill I choose to die on. 

for the feedback and encouragement.  Cranky, I started off on a typewriter too, many moons ago :-)!  I will keep plugging away at it. 

By the way Cranky, what in the world is in the picture.  I have looked and looked at it and I cannot figure out what is in your picture - lol!

Very small neighborhood.  Houses are very close together.  We've lived here almost 7 years and we all know each other and chat and the neighbors help each other out, no matter what. 

These people just scare me because everything is drawn up tight and the "skinny" woman of the house seems very nervous.  I've only seen her "husband" once and he looks as if he may be the thing that makes her afraid.

I have gotten to the point, however, where I will make some phone calls.  The poor dog finally stopped barking, but my daughter went out back with her friends to swim in the pool (behind an 8 foot stockade fence) and all you can hear is "yap, yap, yap."

Geeeeeesh.

To work a split shift, example 6-10 n then 3-7, OR would it be less painful to get it all done at once so you have more time to rest fully?  My hands kill me constantly.  I've tried everything.  Don't want to be in more pain if the split would end up being worse.  Thanks.
