Personal life isn't great either

I'm having a really crap time at work atm.  Trying not to rant too much.  I basically have problems with the new voice to text system they introduced, because I've worked as a transcriber for 30 years and can't adjust to being a proofreader for an idiot [the I in AI is much overrated]. 

Seriously considering resigning, whether temporarily or not, and picking some other transcribing work up in a few months time.  I've got enough super to last three years.

Sound like a plan?  I ask people not to be really sensible and ask me if I've considered this or that option, done the maths and so on, because I've done little else for quite a long time.

Right now I want not to be miserable and to be able to maybe do some proper writing again.

Anything that gets you away from an AI sounds good to me!

It really is the wrong name. They can't train it on court work because security, so it's our belief it's trained on You Tube. Stuff like "Thanks for listening" and "Don't forget to like my page!" keep cropping up, nothing to do with what's actually being said.

Even my supervisor, who called me in for a "wtf is going on?" talk on Friday, said it's actually old tech the company is using, but they are trying to apply it to more and more stuff. You'll get a piece of audio with only a tiny bit, or none at all, that you're meant to type. I've been trying to get used to fixing the words, but this has been my downfall. Previously I was very accurate, but not the last couple of months, so I don't know if I can survive this particular upheaval.
