That may be true...but in the meantime..
It is hard to pay bills and hard to log on each day and have the work eaten up. It would be nice to get at least half of what my line committment is supposed to be, but can't even do that. Hope it doesn't take too much longer for things to pick up...I won't be able to pay my bills!

I doubt seriously it will change much at all. In the meantime, the many MTs who do not work sm
for them are sick of this.

Medquist should provide a board for their people to discuss this.

I know I am not interested, could care less. If you think you are getting something wonderful from this company, fine! It is my guess, it will not turn out to be anything wonderful in the long haul.

If it is wonderful for you, fine. All that do not work for this company though should NOT HAVE TO READ THROUGH THIS JUNK. A whole entire board is full of this junk now and not just on this board but the Main Board too.

Enough is just enough!

I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
