My CCM reassured me that when the big account switch would take place I would remain on the same accounts. She told the truth, I got the same accounts, but like so many, many others, I got put on 100% ASR and those mush mouthed dictators I heard so much about. I tried to talk to her, my complaints fell on deaf ears. (big surprise right!)Before this I had been blessed enough to have 80/20 MT/ASR, earing a healthy paycheck usually (not great mind you, but healthy). I am simply one of those old MTs that do better typing, not editing.
Well. I had it. I calculated my pay and it's pathetic. I simply stopped working for MQ on Friday, flat out quit. I barely got a call today asking if I was working, said I'm not going to work for them anymore. She didn't even SUGGEST I give it another try! Guess that's how much they miss and need me! Didn't even ask for their equipment yet. haha! (I'm going to put it in a box on the front porch!)
I'm working PT at a college campus, registration clerk right now. I wish all of you who stay with MQ the best of luck and will continue to pray that the winds of change come soon, good winds that is! I will pray for more US insourced MT jobs or that you find a job in a company that respects you and the fantastic job I KNOW you all do. For now, goodbye!
Much respect,
