It makes me feel better to vent on here. I'm so sick of QA. Now we are being marked off for blanks sent to QA. We were also told we could send the job to facility with 2 blanks. Now, I'm marked off for those. And, typing we will . . . instead of we have . . . I get that I got that wrong but is that one error worth a score of 98.2%. So, I guess I should be expecting a "corrective action" email from my TL. She said anybody below 99% would be receiving corrective action. Sigh . . .

QA - new but old

Wow - I haven't been blessed to get that yet - but I am sure I probably will. How did they mark you off?

Don't let this company scare you - sm

Everybody makes mistakes. Hold your head up. One of these days, Karma's gonna get them.

Then she would be wrong, - I believe. sm.

I am pretty sure the company requirement for *employment* is 98% or above. The 99% and above is for the bonus. My STM/TL/whatever sends gentle reminders about the 99% means incentive, but I do not think you should get "corrective action" for anything above 98%. Of course, that may have changed and I just ignored the e-mail. BTW, get clarification by your TL on those blanks you are getting marked off for. Something doesn't sound right there.

Pay Rate Not Keeping Up With The Times

I have been an MT since 1986. I would like to know why the MT industry does not raise pay rates for MTs to keep up with the rising cost of living?

I have never made more than 9.5 cpl.  We all know the companies are raising their contract rates for clients and making a killing, so why is our industry becoming such a slave-driving industry and what can we do about it?
