way above 98 and told I should continue.. - I am not a machine.


Posted: Jun 21, 2012

to strive for the 99%.  It did not matter I had 98.8. and there have been times I was over 99%  They are out of their freakin minds.  I wonder who in this world is perfect at their job.

I got a 99.3 - and was told

to "watch it" as 99.3 was "close to being below 99%." Corporate should get scored on their "oops" e-mails they are always sending out.

I had 100 and got Performance Mentoring - On My Way Out

They couldn't fault the quality, so they got me on the quantity.

OMG - Slave MT

I think this might be happening to me. They like to get you one way or the other. Is this their way to get you to quit? I can tell when I am being audited so I may go a little slower. Can't win either way.

got a 99%, - WhoGivesAS channel

Really? I have performance mentoring too, my "potential" is about 3 times my actual performance. 15 years ago I made 11 cents/line, this is BS and I've been trying to get out for months. Thank goodness Im also an MA and working with agencies for temp work. I'd rather get paid for 6-8 weeks and collect in between than be GUARANTEED no pay for my hard work. We are all worth more than the respect we get here

are these orders from Kumar or whatever his name is. - I am not a machine

I feel like I am in India and working for rupees. Life is too short for all of this nonsense.

Need Advice-Continue MT Or Quit
Jun 07, 2012

I've been an MT for over 20 years.  Have had my own clients in Rhematology for the past 12 years, been working at home for 15 years.  Clients have switched to point-and-click and VR except for one who is Lebanese and hates the point-and-click and can't do VR.  So, I started working for a great company doing ENT, but pay is 8 cents/line, quite the cut, but good dictators.  They might soon be going to VR.  I live in a small town and really don't want to work ...

I realize it is not the client's fault as I am sure they paid their bill, so I do feel bad on that side, but on the other hand, only a fool keeps on working while someone dangles that carrot with the possibility they might be paid sometime. Ugh. ...


"Turnover Rates Continue To Rise. Wages Plummet."
Jun 06, 2013

Following an in-depth investigative report of how corporate profits soar at the mercy of the increasingly invisible labor force in this business, we could publish a cartoon depicting a wide-mouth funnel at the top with all the newly "acquired" MTs falling in, with the bottom of the funnel (the other opening) pouring out the newly unemployed. Churning around inside the murky vortex are the chronically underpaid sweatshop slave-wage fools.  Wonder if the creepy people responsible for this me ...

Have You Ever Been Told This And If So------

what would you do about it.  My TL repeatedly tells us to get off the system when the work volume is low because we are taking food out of other MTs mouths because they cannot feed their families or pay their bills because they need to get at least 20,000 lines per pay, but they cannot do that if we stay on the system,and we need to have compassion for them and get off the system so the ones who need it the most can pay their bills.   Even if our line count is not met, they need i ...
