Can it really get worse? - ManyyearsMT

I was terminated for reasons I won't go into here--after 9+ years at my last employer.  Thing is--I was looking anyway and informed potential employers that the company just was "no longer a good fit."  What finally tipped the balance was an e-mail we got a few months ago stating that after an MT had sent a certain percentage of reports to editing for comprehension issues, for instance, they would be penalized 0.03 cpl for doing so!

Assuming this is legal, IMO, it's immoral and outrageous!  I never met the critical mass, but this is nothing short of travesty on our profession, transcriptionists new to the profession and the mushrooming numbers of ESL dictators (not to mention those who would be incomprehensible in any language).  My fear is that this will become policy to a growing number of MTSOs on top of the burdens we already carry with severe reductions in pay and increasing demands on our time performing myriads of demands for which we aren't paid.  Worse, they're robbing us of the dignity of an honorable calling.  I'm close to retirement now, but I can't help but share my fears and concerns to my colleagues.
