"Just get to your darn keyboards and work!!!!"

Posted By: you have to be kidding me on 2009-01-06
In Reply to: Transcend - Shirley, ex-Transcender

Oh my gosh, who are YOU to tell people to get back to their keyboards?!

::crackface::

Unbelievable!

I still cannot get over the fact that you said that. You may say that to your own children but you don't say something like that to an adult/s.

Where did you grow up? Heaven help us.

"Just me" means just me and no one else, that simple, go to work

The lying is unbelievable. If you work there, you darn well

DARN STRAIGHT... and as soon as the Indians are forced to work weekends,

then I will.  I used to have plenty of work for my early morning shift and now none.  Why?  NOT BECAUSE THE CLIENT DOES NOT HAVE WORK AT THAT TIME......


BECAUSE THE INDIANS TOOK MY WORK.  They get to work days and have off nights and weekends becuase us PRIMMA DONNAS are here to suck hiney and say *I will do it cause the client needs it*


WAKE UP!!!!!!!  The world is laughing at you. 


typewriter keyboards

The original Underwood keyboard I learned to type on is still in my memory, and I have temporary flashbacks where I want to use the old symbol keys.  I wonder if this has happened to anybody else.   


The quote symbol was on the 2 key.


There was no #1 key, we just used the lower case L.


Dollar sign was on the 4.


Underscore was on the 6.


Apostrophe was on the 8. 


And, of course, there was the carriage return, which I have reached for when fatigued.  The other day I kept hitting the 2 and came up with this @ thing, and had to think about where the darned apostrophe was.  Hum…..Alzheimer’s or flashback?  We also had a cent sign on the @ key, and some fraction keys.  


Am I alone out here?

Who am I to tell people to get back to their keyboards...
How very professional you are! I bet you must be a CEO with that attitude! I am the voice of logic - stop wasting time complaining - enjoy life.
? crackface ? What kind of talk is that?!! My children have done very well with my advice, you have no idea!! Be positive, I bet you aren't very, just a guess.

Again, I am the voice of logical and positive thinking, your are wasting your time, that is WHO I am, lol
"Just two thousand dollars"
I hope you are joking right. That is a lot of money. As a single mom that would probably get me kicked out of my house for not paying rent and get me in trouble for my car payment, cause my utilities to be off, etc. To most of us that is a lot of money. Simple two grand does not describe it for me if that happened to me.
In response to "just the opposite....."
Well, HATS OFF to that MT who got that account! About time someone gave up and stood up to do something for herself to survive this mess.

Quote: ...cannot even get 0.13 per line and most clients want 0.12. Rediculous!

Honey, I'm an MT and I am salivating. From annuals in or around the 70Ks, to living out my savings, I am now on the credit cards because the services are in a tizzy. Got Valium?

Obviously, because the way things are for you services, we MTs feel the need for protection in working for same, regarding overall integrity and how that damages us.

The workers did not ruin it for the companies; we did not make it so damn competative out there. That one is between all you organizers and the VR creators. The only thing we are guilty of is doing good job that made you shine when this profession was, in fact, a profession.

Yet, you people (aside from a select few these days) ARE ruining it for us, rendering it useless to continue without ethical boundaries in your attempts to keep the company afloat.

Well, and I'm so, so sorry, but the MTs ARE this business with an -ist.

So, I guess it has finally some to this: Unionize - or pair up and organize. Reclaim self-respect, self-worth by getting hired on for say, 11 cpl, even. It only takes ONE facility for me, just one.


..and that should be "just" not "jsut". I am frustrated right now LOL

Maybe it's a "just stop doing it" thing. I really
doubt mods have the time to go through every page. If it really bothers you click the report button. If they deleted everything that wasn't supposed to be posted...there'd barely be any posts. I'm taking it as a warning, and if I post something like that I won't be surprised when it's deleted.
Are you the same "just wondering" who emailed me?
.
ignore her, "just a thought" might sm
need an advocate some day!
your name "just me" tells me how minute you feel,
WHO in the world would call themselves, Just Me. Like I am a nobody; a brainless unimportant to be hear is a Just me.
Management of any company will make you think it is "just you" having troubles. If you are

I meant instead of saying "just quit or something else as ridiculous without addressing her, prov

I know who it is!!! And I can't say it, darn it!!!!

Thanks!!...Darn.. nm

Darn! I'm sorry.
Hopefully they get it fixed soon so all of us can work. I actually got the audio, didn't do the DNS changes, though so maybe that's why. I have no idea. I so hate computers. LOL
Darn, that would be perfect for me but sm
I can't do the move to Wisconsin thing with a husband, home, etc. I really could train at home strictly for the 3-6 months. And living west of Chicago, the daily drive would kill me.
Darn, that is disappointing.
I was truly considering this company after my line count with Spheris has dropped steadily over the last year and this sounded like a great place to go.  Is there anywhere anymore that treats MTs fairly?
I know, you're right darn it. Ugh. nm

And what a darn shame too, because if there
wasn't the MT no one else would have a job.
It is a darn SHAME
WEBMEDX is a click. If you don't know someone personally and are not someone's friend personally, FORGET IT, they will trash you and think nothing of it...Great Job Today, On the streets tomorrow. They don't care who they hurt or who they Belittle. The QA mentoring is LAZY also.
sorry. Should be TRS's 'ad' - darn expander!

Hot darn it is in the Ahdi book.

The only time QA makes me pound my head is when they are correct and it can be seen in print.


Also, the new Nuance 7.5 VR is so smart. . .it remembers corrections you make. The whole page(s). Start planning. . .this one is top notch. . .better than the first. No more overtime. No more parttimers.


I received one also, and in now way will I sign the darn thing either.
I do believe they are worried about the line counting method and "conversion methods" they use to calculate your line count. For now, it is "hearsay", (don't know if I spelled that right), but may come to fruition in the future with proof and hard evidence.

That is all I know right now!
I meant voted (darn expander)
 
Darn, wish mine would have shown up DD today. nm

better than Lanier - darn short-cuts! NM

Darn my shortcut program. That is supposed to be "I" not HPI. nm

$7/hour is pretty darn good, I was making
the MT inexperience, as the inexperienced is all they are able to hire. Seasoned MT's know better than to go there.
WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone

Not to mention managers playing on the darn thing

And the ability to hold mandatory meetings and not say a darn thing! nm

As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m

That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.

load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts.  Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others.  Overall, wonderful company.
That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact.  It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators.   VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster. 
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I

I will share this about the MTSO I work for.  I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week.  Would she be able to cover my work.  She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip. 


And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for.  To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.


It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was

They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.

There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
