did not intentionally..
I just thought that my husband would be more understanding of my career pursuits, especially since I was very understanding and supportive when he was in residency and I made more money than he did and carried most of the bills. I just thought he would give the same courtesy to me. Instead, I got criticism on my career choice. I am still working hard to be the best I can be, and now my family and friends are complaining that I work all the time. The flip side is that they do not complain when they need a quick errand because I am home and can do it for them. I take the good and the bad with MTing, I just wish people could understand that this is a real job. I do VR and it takes a lot of lines to make a decent paycheck, which is why I work so hard. One day I am hoping that I can do the same amount of lines in 6 hours, and not 12. I have goals and will not relax until I achieve them.
Chill out!
Last I heard, this is a free country. Pay is not such a sensitive issue that it cannot be discussed amongst ourselves here on this board. Since when are certain topics off limits at an anonymous discussion board? She didn't break any rules. Look at the job seeker's board...what do you see in the job ads? Line rates. Maybe you are volunteering your time to Keystrokes, but the rest of us trade our time for money. It's no secret and certainly not a new concept. If you are that offended by questions concerning issues such as pay, which is the basis of what we do, then don't read the posts and certainly don't respond to them!
Chill!
Hey dudette, take a chill pill. I just asked a question. Here's another. Do you want VR to get so good that it perfects you right out of a job all together? When I have to fix the mistakes, I feel like I will be among the employed for a while longer.
Would you please take a chill pill?
Not going to go back and reread my original comments, but I doubt I was emphatic that *all* scribes are 'highly skilled'. Of course there are the mediocre and the downright poor. And those who blank 'any' term instead of at least trying to research it SHOULD NOT be hired as transcriptionists in the first place.
My original post was to the MTSO who asked for feedback. I actually responded to someone else's post (yours?) where the suggestion was made that rates be tied to difficulty. In that regard, I suggested that they consider charging a premium for difficult doctors, a portion of which could be passed on to the most skilled scribes. Most companies *do not pay* newbies or less-skilled individuals at the same level as more skilled/experienced transcriptionists.
For some reason you've misunderstood me, but you'll have to continue the thread without me if you still do.

In MY opinion, you need to CHILL
Anyone has the right to post here and anyone has a right to defend negative posts that are not true. Who are you to say that owners or recruiters should not post?? You are the one acting very unprofessional and a bit childish.
If someone spends $1.15 per page to fax something, there is THEIR problem. A simple fax machine is VERY inexpensive.
It is evident you need some ANGER MANAGEMENT classes.
You need to chill or find another job
This is the way transcription works. I've been doing this for 25 years. The years we DID have work all the way through the holidays were very rare. Deal with it. Things may not get back to normal until January 5th when regular schedules start again. Not everyone is out of work, but every account is different. You're not telling anyone on this board something they don't already know.
happens seldom, chill out...nm

Chill. Maybe there are no developments that need to be discussed. nm

You really need to take a chill pill, Cindy
You posted right behind one another and you are so bitter, probably having to start VR and cannot do. I make over $20.00 an hour, very easy.
I agree - and there are a lot of MTs on this site that need to take a chill pill.
The attitude of many MTs toward other human beings is absolutely uncalled for.
You really need to take a chill pill. I figured you'd be worn out from your rants below. nm
