You're confused because we are at a dead end. - ANON

Don't be confused because it is all a scam. They not only get away with not having to pay for employees, nor the laws set forth by the department of labor. You have to give an employee minimum wages that apply for your state. First these MTSOs were having extremely high line counts so that they would not have to pay the difference between minimum wage. Therefore, one had to lie on their time of how many hours it took. They now have it where they do not want to have employees, yet want you to state what hours you will be working and most of it is at night when East India and the Philippines are all done for the day. That way they also get away with having to pay more for shift differential!! Thirty years ago the rate was 8 cents a 'gross line' and not a 65-character line. Plus a 10 pitch font and spaces were all counted.

Don't buy into you can go faster on VR. That's not true on the average, and least when you are new to the account. The MTSOs get their kickback for offshoring and that gives them more profits while you are stuck with probably 5 dollars an hour in today's economy and have to live on that while purchasing all your own equipment. Who can afford all the supplies to which the hospitals have always provided. Does not make any sense at all. No benefits either. No 401k, no health security, no dental, no disability, no union, just at will. The truth is that there will never even be an 'affordable health care plan' for MTs.

Yet still, what will really be left to even make a will?! You WILL have nothing. We have to sign up for a student loan for a different career. Watch out though now for Betsy DeVos because who knows what she is up to, as Pres. Obama put forth where if your job was offshored or taken over by higher technology, we would be given funds to start over again. We all need to hurry and enroll, as DeVos is definitely for the top 1% and I'm sure none of us MTs are in the category!
