OUCH - Purl

Posted: Jul 3rd, 2017 - 5:09 pm In Reply to: TTS employees.... - How do you feel

I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear that. I'm not a TTS employee (I subcontract with a few small companies who use Nuance platforms, though), and I honestly thought TTS would come through and do the right thing by their MTs.

Telling employees to use their PTO instead of paying them downtime is downright disgraceful.

My heart goes out to all of the TTS MTs this is going to affect.
