Inquiring Old Minds Want To Know. Are We Back To Writing Out Numbers 1-10 Now? Sm Mar 28, 2011This is one of the endless list of reasons why I get so fed up with Benchmark and so called "rules". Forever I was always taught to write out numbers 1-10 in text; but then Benchmark guidelines (and MQ followed thereafter) that we were to use numeric nomenclature; that is unless the two (or is it 2) numbers appeared next to each other. So all you 300 lph people who say they are 100% accurate on their reports, what IS the correct way now? I just got ...
Worried About Being Able To Even Make What I Used To Make Doing Apr 11, 2011I seem to be spending an awful lot of time in VR documents, so I am confused as to why I am getting paid less for them.

Believe me the child support isn& ...

However, I can not even seem to make minimum wage while on production pay! It is driving me nuts and is very discouraging. I'm not sure where to point the finger.

What if you they point blank and say, you have to become an MME or you will have look elsewhere. Can you somehow collect unemployment whether you quit or get fired or will you lose out unemployment benefits. Basically, it is a no win situation for us MT's? ...
