Five years experience and especially experience in basic 4. Surely you jest!

Thats too low even for zero years' experience! - Greedygreedygreedygreedy MTSOs.

someone will take it - beats 0.00

Why shouldn't they bid low? There is always someone who will work for a few bits less than the self-righteous I'm-too-good-for-thatters.

Thanx for the pearl of wisdom, Suit. - Hope you enjoy your future .005 cpl wage.

Ooh, calling a disagree-er a SUIT! - how very original

Baaaah

Self-righteous? Don't understand. - MTME

Self-righteous? Could you explain what you mean by that?

Yes, beats 0.00 but not by much.SM - WorkinFree

If you deduct for not paying for spaces, that's about 4 cents/line pay. Might as well be working for free. If it makes me self-righteous to not want to give away my skills then I'm guilty as charged.

It took years - sm

to learn this job & I have the carpal tunnel, gray hair, and shot nerves to prove it. I won't do it for minimum wage. If these companies are going to start paying so low it equates to minimum wage, I'd much rather have a lower stress job for the same pay... My 18-year-old niece is making $10/hr plus commission to sell perfume and cosmetics at the mall. These greedy MTSOs are ruining our industry.

If with straight and/or VR you are not able to make - twice as much as what your

niece is making, truly time for you to change professions. I do not see the problem myself.

Pompous arse, making $$ off the sweat of others - I Smell MTSO

[ In Reply To ..]
...you are probably making 10x what her niece is making, dining on curry with off-shore clients.

MTSO answers. I can smell you from here.

If you are not unhappy and do not hate everything - about this profession

You MUST BE a "suit" or an MTSO!

How else do you dare not agree that this job .... that we continue to work in even though it totally sucks .... TOTALLY SUCKS! And that it is THEIR fault that it sucks!

If you are not unhappy and do not hate everything - ExpMT

I'm neither a suit nor an MTSO but I don't hate this profession. The attitude here seems to be that if you are not unhappy and do not hate everything about this profession don't bother posting in this forum. To those of you who are so miserable all the time, I would advise you to sit down and make 2 lists, one listing the positive things in your life and one listing the negatives, I'm guessing the good would outweigh the bad if you thought about it for any length of time.

Seems like you can only have 1 view here or else - people want to label you something

[ In Reply To ..]
you are not, such as my being a suit. How unoriginal you are. I donâ��t hate my job, transcriptionist like others here, sorry I have never had curry. And by the way, maybe you should check out ENT person because apparently something is bad wrong with your ability to smell. I would have that checked out ASAP.

Just curious, I'm trying to decide between a few companies and I totally forgot to ask the interviewer. I think the whole VBC thing is criminal. It's bad enough not being paid for all of the research, demographics and CCs we do, but to not pay for characters that we actually type just because they don't print out in black and white is OUTRAGEOUS!!! ...

Hi from Australia on Australia Day. Only new at this MT at home business. Struggling to get my line count up. In all honesty it would take a few months to add in enough shortcuts to make it worthwhile. I have been racking my brain over how to get those two spaces at the end of a sentence for free.

Hey everyone, Just curious about this... I just got a report back from my QA at work, and she dinged me for writing "End stage renal disease" instead of "Endstage renal disease." Now, someone correct me if I am wrong, but those are 2 separate words and should not be together like that, I dont think. I wouldn't write Stage6 or Stage4 together, so why the difference with end stage? We are supposed to used the 3rd edition BOS, but I can't find a reference for this. &nbs ...
