Fellow Coworker
Hi,
I work on 2 accounts and 1 starts with E and the other with H and they are both on the Escription platform.
you're welcome, fellow coworker :) sm
I don't know if your ShortHand could back up and put an 's' on the end of the word preceding, but you can do that with TASpeed (used to be able to do that with Smartype, and that's what I missed the most about it until someone found that you could do that with TASpeed.) In TASpeed under Acronym, I use ss, then under Replacement type {bksp}s exactly that way, and then when you need to add an 's' to the preceding word, just type ss then space bar, and an 's' will automatically be added. Can also do that with 'ly' endings, 'ing' endings, etc. Hope this helps! 
Screwup ex-coworker
I have an ex-coworker who got fired for too many errors. I was in charge of this person and spent countless times correcting them and pointing them out to her. Despite my just about 24/7 monitoring, she was finally let go for these errors, and then a while later has the nerve to email me asking if I knew anyone else who was hiring. This is out of line and I am unsure of how to handle it.
Screwup ex-coworker
If she asked me if I knew of any openings elsewhere, I would just say, I sure don't. Sorry.
If she has been making the same errors for years and years, you're not going to change much now.
Wow - way to support a coworker
You have no heart! How can you be so degrading to a fellow coworker... are you a brown noser for Keystrokes or what? The poor thing needs the 30 bucks - no one knows until we walk in another man's shoes what they have to deal with on this God's green Earth.
The fair thing to have done would be for keystrokes to eat it and take it out the next pay after a fair warning has been given. Geez.... that's all she meant by the post and I don't even work there. But then again, these companies always seem to somehow get the muffin top and we get the muffin stub, huh? 
As far as pay goes, almost all companies will go ahead and pay out the money they owe their workers before the pay date if it falls on a weekend and not after the pay date which is just plain wrong... bad mark on keystrokes... too bad, so sad.... all these MTSOs seem to be just alike... never for the MT; just themselves.
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm
**
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.

I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
My Fellow MT's I need your help!
The small MTSO I work for is out of the Houston, Texas area, also the account I am on is in that area. As you know several cities have been devastated from hurricane Ike. I have been out of work since late Thursday, and a little work is trickling in this morning and yesterday, but not nearly enough. Anyone know of a company hiring PT to supplement my income. I really need something I can pick up fast. I work on the ExText platform presently, but also have worked on DocQscribe, and Bayscribe, along with proprietary software and Word. I have 30+ years experience and love operative reports, but can do everything acute care/clinic, all work types and ESL. I am really in a financial bind right now with the possibility of losing my home. Need a position that pays bi-weekly, can't afford to wait 1 month before getting paid. Dont' have health insurance as I have a 90-day wait, which will be December 1 before I am insured. I need to try and get a temporary insurance as am diabetic and have hypertension, but cannot afford it. Did manage to enroll in Walgreens health program, and get my meds cheaper than what I paid when I was ensured. I have tried applying with some positions I had tried over the years, but turned down for various reasons, but think I've been black listed. I guess you can say I'm sort of desperate now though. Thanks you guys. .
Thank you fellow MTs....
I am so glad to have people respond and will check into all of these companies. Thanks again! You are all very helpful and I appreciate it. 
See what I mean, fellow MTs? (see below)
And I think Bitemia's rage is just the very TIP OF THE ICEBERG. The rest is hidden just below the surface, and could end up sinking their ship. TT sure shudda' thought this one through a little better.
HEY FELLOW AMPHIONITES!
Was hired by Amphion two weeks ago, and even though I don't start for another week, was wondering how long until I get the computer, etc. Don't want to bother them, but am getting anxious....should I contact HR or just sit tight? Am REALLY excited about this opportunity!!! 
Fellow Transcender, I have had so
many problems with this platform. If you make just ONE mistake, it screws everything up and you can't get back. I did 3 reports in 3 hours today. Very frustrating.
Help your fellow MTs. Which company is this?
:+
TO ALL MY FELLOW HEARTLANDERS
find an employment attorney and do it ASAP.
That's all I am at liberty to say.
A fellow TT'er
Your need to repeatedly justify yourself is really doing more harm than good. We know your story and we know by now you LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your job, but these posts are really getting old. IMO you're repeated posting does nothing but turn off potential applicants.
maybe I will get an org. started just for my fellow MTs. nm

Except that I owe it to my fellow MTs to warn them off.

Fellow MDIer
I'm with you on this one. I have never worked for a company that had as much integrity as MDI.
My fellow MDIers
I feel your pain. Yesterday I got exactly half of my lines. I can't feed my family this way. What to do, what to do? I totally love MDI but 50% of my lines doesn't pay a California mortage. I wish they would give us some timeline as to when the work will be normal again.
To fellow TT MTs - what do you make
of the fact that we're only allowed to work no more than 40 hours a week? I always used to work more than that, ever since I started full time with TT. Of course I never expected to be payed time and a half if it was my choice to work more than 40. Then all of the sudden strict 40 hours and no more. What do you all think is going on?
It's YOUR conscience, fellow MT
If you're cool with what you're doing, keep on keepin' on. *Shrug*
I'm not much of a gameplayer myself so perhaps that's where your 'logic' loses me.
Anyway, your justifications are now bordering on ridiculous and boring me out of my mind so I'm out of this thread.
Self-pity was NEVER an attractive quality to me.
My fellow MDIers
Is anyone else still sad about the demise of the MDI as we knew it? It seems to me that the last bastion of integrity and respect for MTs kind of fell apart. How do you all feel after these several weeks have passed?
Thanks fellow Webbies. nm
I work for them, have no problems with the account/work - sm
New insurance plan went into effect - I think it is really good, but that's just my opinion. They send you the equipment. They have incentive. I like it. Can't complain.
Fellow St. Louis MT HELLooooooooo
Hey, I live in St Louis, too, and would love to chat with others in my area. If you are interested, please let know, and somehow I can send you my email.
I need answers from a fellow MT who will be honest
s
fellow QTers what did you think of the e-mail this
morning?
Not trying to be nasty to my fellow QT people, but maybe we should THINK that they just need us
to work hard and go above and beyond the call of duty just because it's the right thing to do in this case to get things back in order. That was an honest, heartfelt this morning....why don't we forget about what used to be for right now and just help out. I thnk we'll all be glad in the long run if we do.
Having fun, fellow Spheris-ites?
COMPLETELY out of work since 2:00P.M. on a weekday!!!! How are we supposed to pay our bills??? This is insane!!!
Thanks! We all appreciate the warm wishes from most of our fellow MTs. sm
I'm not sure, but I think Mary may have emailed Dateline. I hope so! I will definitely be contacting them for an inside investigation. It would be interesting to see how things are going over in India.
This forum is to network with fellow MTs and to ask
questions. Many times, MTs have already searched references and will ask questions here and that is alright. And, while people should attempt to look to their own references first, sometimes a question can be answered quickly and that's ok, too. Policing of who should do what, when, and where is not really necessary on this site other than by MTStars moderating team.
Fellow IP train rider here. For why pay was off,
I worked there and had personal friendships with a couple of the acct managers and team leads. We were not getting paid for spaces. That is what I was told by middle management.
You even know when your fellow MT's call in at the last moment !
Wow, are you ever psychic! You are either mgmt or a **wannabe**.
If not mgmt, these are your coworkers that YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, unless you know them as your personal friends, and thank God I do not know you, but on the other hand DO YOU KNOW ME!
Hey fellow MTs! Will someone please share which co's pay for demographics. Thanks! nm

Any fellow Allstate Transcription....sm
MTs? Just wondering. 
Thanks fellow MQ employee for sticking up
for the company. I also work for MQ and got tired of defending it and having to duck from all the daggers thrown by other posters. I work for another company, started last week, and have been out of work 3 times. They send out constant e-mails, ...we have 8 jobs would each of you do 2 so we can get them off the system? 8 jobs and they're freaking out. Or, we have no work, would you please check your e-mails to see when work is available and flex your schedule? Don't have this at MQ.
Fellow Californians, a question
Does anybody know if the UC system is issuing IOUs to its MT contractors and subcontractors? I had a contract with them for years, back when it really paid, but now that the state is getting ready to go bankrupt, I am wondering what will happen to all the contract MTs who work for UC. (I no longer contract with them, thankfully, but am concerned about those who do.) Thanks.
Maybe a fellow MT who just wanted to cause trouble?
Apparently some had animosity towards her for whatever reason and blocked her on IM, etc., according to what another co-worker says below, and it really is easy as pie to make up a similar Yahoo addy, so not a whole lot of effort needed, IMO.
GOOD MORNING TO ALL OF MY FELLOW MTs
I hope that each and every one of you have a wonderful day and that we are all capable of making our line counts or even more. Have a great day!!!!  
Question for fellow MDIers
Are any of you getting work today? I have been babysitting my screen for seven hours now and have had five short jobs all day. Does anyone know what is going on?
Question for my fellow MDIers
We went for weeks with insufficient work so I took on a side-job, which has been reliable and plentiful. Now my previously-empty MDI accounts seem to be overflowing and MDI wants extra work. Has this happened to any of you? What did you do? I want to be loyal to MDI but, given that there was low work for so long, I am inclined to keep the other job as well just as a backup in these economic times. Of course, I will always do the required lines at MDI but I am at a point where I am now afraid to put all of my eggs in one basket. What do other people think? I just feel more confident having two sources of income rather than one alone. Is my thinking wrong here? I'd really appreciate some feedback as I think I am too close to the situation to see things clearly.
Question for my fellow MDIers
Just curious, is your situation getting better? I have been sitting here for four hours and have done 300 lines and my account just ran dry. What are you doing about your situation? I do NOT want us to bash MDI, am just looking for some positive suggestions as to how others are handling this dry period. Let's exchange ideas and keep it positive. I am not encouraging a bash MDI session, just looking for some solutions. I do not want to leave because I love MDI, but I also need to work, so am kind of in a dilemma. Ideas? Encouragement, etc?
How many of my fellow MDIers got replies to the
emails with personal questions that were sent? On the conference call they gave a general email address, but also said that if we have a personal situation or concern that we needed to ask we could send to Carlotta or Dorothy. How many of you that did this got a reply?
What account do you work?
/
Do you work on a VA account? nm
.
Could be the account too, I don't know how they work out their pay...
but maybe it could be based on whatever the account is willing to pay. Not sure!
What account do you work on? My
accounts are rarely out of work.
you must be on the same account I am on. Not enough work
Not making enough money for family.
Don't see how we can be out of work when new account
to protect them, but what about us MT's waiting for work. Interesting when I hit my 3-month anniversary with TransTech, my work disappeared. I am not sure what to think of TT at this time ... No matter how nice someone is -- supervisor, office staff, etc.), if there is no work, WORK is what pays my bills.
