IC I will post one more time and be done. I was audited years ago

and I was niave and only payed federal and not social security taxes because I had also worked a regular job on top of IC job.  My penalty and interest was more than the tax I owed!  I learned my lesson the painful expensive way. 

I was told that IC status is a red flag for the IRS and they will go over your return looking at your deductions and if you don't pay social security tax at the proper rate, it is another red flag. 

 Now with Turbotax it is much easier to understand taxes on your own.  Even if you use an accountant I think it is good to go over it yourself and get an explanation so you understand what you are paying because as the IRS said to me ignorance is not an excuse .  I claimed I did not know what I was not aware I had to pay the full amount and they did not buy that excuse at all and slapped me with 3 years of interest and penalties!

I was also never audited before DSG.  Furthermore, I was not audited my first year at DSG.  That was something that they have always made up as they go along. 

The only thing High School or immature here is your inability to present any valid arguement.  All we hear is how much you feel sorry for me... and dont really feel sorry for me.  I feel sorry for you.  DSG is a total rut of a company to be stuck in.  I hope they miss me every day - I was a good worker and always went above and beyond for them, and was never appreciated or rewarded for it. 

Unless you want to point out something positive, a true and valid point, dont bother with the rhetorical responses. 

Reason for the revolving door at OSi, always has been that way, always will be  

I would like to comment on your posts, as it is my help-wanted ad you are discussing.  I have attempted to put as many details into my ad as possible, in order to answer all possible questions anyone might have before applying.  My ad is not meant to be overbearing, rude, or pushy, but I realize it might appear that way to others because of all of the fine details I have written into it.  I have amended the ad many times over the years due to certain situations that have occured.  The part about if you love animals is due to the fact that I had a Transcriptionist working with me, who later told me that she did not like animals.  Since she did not like animals, it reflected in her work, which is probably because the work did not hold her interest.

I have read a lot of really vicious posts about myself and my company, none of which I feel are justified.  I am sure I have hurt some feelings when returning test results and when informing others that they do not appear to be compatible with the current position, but I have always been diplomatic in my emails and polite when conducting phone interviews.

I would like to set the record straight and let everyone know that I do NOT send out real work, hoping someone will do my job for me.  When I test someone, they are typing actual dictation files, but the reports have already been typed and returned to the clinic.  When testing potential applicants, I only send out two small dictation files at the most (sometimes only one), and the person below is obviously confused, or is blatently lying.

Also, regardless of what some people might be saying/thinking, there are at least four new clinics that open each year.  In the past six years, I have had five people leave their jobs voluntarily for their own personal reasons.  My newest ad is posted because I have been short-handed for some time now due to all of the unexpected clinics thrown at me and because I recently had a transcriptionist pass away unexpectedly.

I personally take the time to train each new person, and I can only handle training one person at a time because I have many other duties during the day, such as invoicing, payroll, emails, phone calls, typing the work from my own assigned clinics, etc.  It takes at least one month for each new person to feel comfortable enough to go on their own with the work, so I am constantly behind on getting all of the clinics covered.  As soon as one transcriptionist is out of training, I post my help-wanted ad and start all over again.  Believe me, I would like nothing more than to hire someone and put them on their own right away, which would make my life a lot easier!  However, the vet group I type for is very picky, which I can only blame on myself because they are spoiled and accustomed to having things done a specific way.

I could write a book in trying to defend myself and my company name, but, unfortunately, I no longer have the time to chat with other transcriptionists like I used to do years ago.  My main reason for posting a response is because I realize these posts will remain on the board for a very long time to come, and I am hoping potential applicants are not deterred from applying because of what has been posted at this site.
