to those refusing - to do the OT


Posted: Mar 17, 2015

i want to join you, but i'll admit, it scares me.  for those of you who truly are not going to work the extra, could you keep us posted here on what repercussions if any happen to you?  i'm really really tempted not to do it.  as it is, i'm working the extra now, but i'm barely working (as you can see).  my line count has never been lower but my spirit is just completely broken and i don't even care what happens to me, except, i do need a job.

They're not going to fire someone for not working OT when they're - so out of TAT

Hourly MT Compensation Plumets From Dictators Refusing To Use 'Pause'
Jun 05, 2013

Last night I was stuck editing an ESL doctor who pauses so long between words my hourly rate dropped down to less than $2. an hour! I filed & painted all my nails between words, cleaned and organized my desk and sat for an agonizing minutes with nothing to do but wait. The neighbors could probably hear my yelling "COME ON!!!!! SAY SOMETHING YOU ____ _____ _____ _____"   Why do these ... people not even think to use the pause command?  The clients and MTSOs can bitch about TAT ...
