Are you going to throw out all immigrants to their respective nations due to lack of jobs to native - santhosh


Posted: Aug 10, 2010

There is a cry in USA not to outsource US jobs to other countries.  In the same way, are they crying for USA should belong to only native Americans and all others should be pushed out of US for the sake of getting jobs to the native people.  There are crores of immigrants from other nations came to USA.  I think it is better to pass a legislation in order to push them to their native countries so that Americans only get the jobs and live happily.   Then lakhs of doctors, engineers, scientists' job vacancies would be available to American people only and I hope President Barack Obama bring such a legislation in US senate. 

Are you kidding me? - Wife of an Immigrant

Tell me you are kidding. My husband is a LEGAL immigrant, so you think that I, as a US CITIZEN, and OUR children, who are US CITIZENS, should have to suffer due to my husband losing his engineering job just because he wasn't born in the US? Also, over the last 10 years, I have never encountered a problem with holding down employment as a MT due to "off shoring." Sometimes I think it is an excuse used by MTs without the necessary skills/experience to do the job right.

Don't blame LEGAL immigrants because they may be more qualified, get on the ball and make yourself more qualified.

Oh, please. The OP was clearly not American born. - No native son says lakhs nm

Interesting concept - Zenaida

This is going to be an interesting conversation. If we were to heed the advice that all but the Native Americans must leave, then my entire family had better start packing, all except my Cherokee husband, that is.

Zenaida and the conversation stopper - :)

Famous last posts. :)

I have been reading about a young man named Saad Nabeel, age 18, who was deported along with his parents back to Bangladesh. He was a student at Texas Tech and had no memory at all of Bangladesh (left there at age 3)! Now THERE's culture shock for you... Have also read about young Turkish men shipped back to Turkey from Germany, despite having no knowledge of Turkish language or customs! It's scary how the young people and children can be uprooted and sent back to an entirely foreign culture to them, because their parents are not "legal."

It sounds like chaos and malcontent with the "takeover/merger."  It would be nice if peoples' lives and tenure with the a company were respected enough that everyone was given a head's up when things are going to change, especially those of us with no backup, no family or husband, alone or with kids, those who have no backup whatsoever, so that our measly cash flow is not interrupted.  That is not a lot to ask for, for years of dedicated service.  I am appalled tha ...


I Could Just Throw This Computer Out The Window.
Oct 31, 2013

Just received 2 emails - 2 jobs with 1 error each from this a.m. I have been extremely careful doing VR and these 2 errors are a word that is "missing." I think once we upload a job, this VR crap doesn't 'save" what we've done in a report fully. This has been happening quite a bit lately. I had a report a couple of weeks ago where the report had an entire paragraph in it that wasn't dictated. I remembered that job from a few hours prior and I know I didn't add t ...

Hadn't used New version all that long (months?) before we switched back to Native.  I honestly do not see a difference between the two besides native having an ugly font.  Clue me in as to why the switch back, and what's the difference?  Thanks. ...

Jan 15, 2012

Since switching to Native EP, my lines per hour have been running around 130. One day I decided to really apply myself to see how much better I could do, so I focused, did not give in to distractions, was fortunate to get decent dictators, had about 50/50 ISR and straight, and still only achieved barely 160. I attributed my usual low lph to an account with horrible dictators/audio, but that was not much of a factor this day. I am a seasoned MT, fairly proficient with ShortHand, but still strugg ...


ESL Speaking In English And Native Language???

For the last several weeks I have been sending reports for a particular MD to QA with lots of blanks.  No problems with other MDs or PAs, just that one.  Found out a couple of days ago that I'm not the only one sending lots of blanks back for the same MD.  Finally got a couple of my QAs back and there was a notation that the facility is working with this MD to take English classes because the blanks have been words/phrases from the native language.  Seriously?!?!  I ...

Lack Of Work
Jul 06, 2012

Has anyone noticed less work in your queues lately? Has anyone had a hard time getting in to a new transcription company? I have 12 years experience, and had an easier time finding a job as a newbie than I do now. Think maybe this has anything to do with the cheap labor from India that is replacing American workers? I'm thinking about finishing my coding classes, but they give American jobs to India also. What does it take to earn a living in America now? ...

You know that saying - A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine? Perfect picture of the North region this week. Apparently we were supposed to be upgraded to the newest version of Fluency except that due to the spectacular communication in the company no one received that information, including installation instructions and now there is a scramble to get everyone upgraded. Do I have all the tools to do my job? No. ...


VR Quality....or Lack Thereof (sm)

I have no problem with new technology.  I am often the first to buy a new electronic device or gadget. I was the first person in my little circle to get an iPhone, Slingbox, Wii and even a Magic Jack.  I bought all these devices with the knowledge that there would be bugs, installation problems and usage nuances, not to mention a learning curve of some sort on my part.  The transcription industry across the board has rushed to embrace VR technology with what seems like very little ...

If you are short lines/hours at TT, do you make up the time?  I find myself working 7 days a week there now and I am not able to log on at night when they send out emails that there is work now and we need to log on to make up the time.  I am worried they will cut me down to part-time, even though I am now making part-time pay but work full-time, or they might not give me health insurance.  I can't sit here every day for 16 hours! ...

Low Work And Lack Of Communication From Above
May 13, 2011

As an MT who has recently had a pay cut (or "new pay structure") and has consequently upped my game in terms of trying to get more lph, now I find there just seems to be not enough work to even get the 8 hours a day in. As per usual, when this happens I check on here and many other MTs have the same situation, are even more bitter when they see their company is hiring, etc. I am just wondering why we never seem to be offered any explanation from the higherups, or even a guess as to why this is. ...


FutureNet Job Ad & Lack Of Work

I just don't get FN's logic.  The latest ad is looking for VR editors from Friday through Monday afternoon and night shift.  The work statistics show minimal to NO work on all accounts over the weekend.  The weekends are the slowest times for all work.  Everyone must work a shift on a weekend day.  Most weekends, you would be lucky to get enough work to finish your shift.  Yes, they send e-mails begging for help when there are 5 reports to be done in an a ...


Lack Of Important Communication

There really needs to be a change in the level of meaningful communication.  A couple of weeks ago all of a sudden, there were no status updates.  It went from 2 a day even on the weekends to nothing for a week.  When I finally got one, the supervisor explained they were trying to determine how the work flowed without the status updates.  If I was a supervisor, that would scare me because it sounds like they are looking at ways of having less management personnel.  But, ...

What A Concept -- Lay-offs Due To Lack Of Work
Feb 12, 2010

Earlier this week, my employer was forced to lay off MTs.  What a concept -- only keeping enough employees for the amount of work coming in.  I have worked for other less considerate employers who don't care whether or not we have to sit and wait and scrape and beg for work, (MQ, FN), and this really blows my mind.  They actually want to take care of us so that we have enough work.  Yes, it is unfortunate for those who were laid off, but only keeping the best of the best ...

MM's ASR output is so extra bad today I am going to (well, already) scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is even worse than yesterday. I had to make so many corrections yesterday that I barely made production requirements. My daily line count was a mere 9 lines over minimum. Although justified, my level of frustration and anger is more acute because I have not been able to afford my antidepressant medication and haven't had any for 2 weeks now. I either get extra pissy or crash and b ...
