A renegade medical transcriptionist rants about the inherent crappy nature of his former job. He used to have no choice, so he held on to that job because there weren't many other jobs available to him at that time. He used to be a victim of global exploitation occasionally masquerading as outsourcing.

Jerk with a Quote

There's this jerk who used this quote in his Friendster account:

"Never loose the opportunity to give sunshine to the day of a person who needs a few encouraging words."

If this guy is the same guy who set an age limit for the writers he wants to hire, then I definitely wouldn't want to work for him. He not only discriminates. He shouldn't be in a field where he doesn't belong. If you visit his site and find that it's been edited, then someone must've pointed out his mistake. Sure, you made a typo, but to commit one that's beside your atrocious picture is really stupid.

The truth is that you don't have to be a certain age to be able to write good English. It's your education that really matters.

Despite all the BS in the MT industry, you won't experience discrimination there except for a few companies such as MT Pinoy and one company along Quezon Avenue (I really can't remember the name). Yes, there are still Filipino companies and Filipino jerks who discriminate against age. May they find the path to extinction.
