Robot MT - MTC

Posted: Nov 08, 2011

Does anyone else feel like a robot? I am asking because I am so stressed out. I work 6 sometimes 7 days a week and could not tell you the last time I had a full weekend, or day off. I am so burned out that it is not funny. I find myself getting foggy headed and can't even listen any more which makes me go back over my work. I was told today that more work is coming and I need to be ready. I never complain about work and don't turn it down because I could really use the money. On the other hand, I am straight typing at 0.05/line and 0.06/line and doing all my own corrections, etc. (I realize that that is part of it), but feel like I am totally taken advantage of. I am putting out 1,500 lines a day, every day. How am I supposed to get more work out? I am going as fast as I can, sitting all day, taking no breaks, no lunch, no calls, no anything that does not relate to getting the work out. I was informed that up I could not keep up, then my job would be gone as the account would be let go and I would have no job. I always meet a 24 hour turnaround time, even when work is put in overnight. This is my first job, so my confidence is low, and I think my boss knows that. I just feel like screaming and sit and cry all day while trying to work stressed out. I can't quit as it is really too close to Christmas, let alone, my family depends on my income. Anyone else feel this way? (I did not edit this as I am too tired)...
