Phasing out US MTs? - Confused MT

Posted: Aug 28, 2012

Is it my imagination or are US MTs being phased out by the offshort MTs? It seems that day by day they have more and more of the dictation. QCs are not allowed to work on offshore QC jobs as they have offshore QAs doing that. With the pittance they pay the offshort MTs, is it a matter of time before all the US MTs/QCs are gone?

yea, that is what I think also - nail on head

I do think the pay will keep dropping until the only US MTs who can afford such pay are those looking for pocket change. However, there will probably be just enough MTs to satisfy clients looking to keep work onshore.

I think that's true for all the big MTSOs, & they don't - want to pay UE, so theyre starving us out.

They are pushing the physicians to use an automated system. She says that will decrease our workload significantly and she strongly urges us to pursue over avenues for employment.
