In Reply to: Kitty, let me use HappyMTRobin as a prime example.... - Of the GOOD things about this board
especially when you bite back, but if all the nice decent people leave, the nasties win, and we no longer have a place to come and help each other out, blow off some steam, and have a laugh or 2.
It is probably just a few nasty people. They hide like cowards behind name changes, and pop on and off, but if you pay attention to what they say and how they write, you see the pattern and who they are.
There are a couple who are particularly nasty. You just have to either bite them back, kill em with kindess or just totally ignore them. They do it just to push your buttons, so you really should not let them run you off completely. There have been a few times I have let these people get to me, and I swore I would never come back here, but I really like the nice people who are here, and even though I have many years experience, I am a humble person and know I can always learn something. This board can teach you a lot. The helpful people here have provided fantastic web sites and information you just can't find anywhere else.
SO THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO ARE HELPFUL AND KIND!

I'm not being nasty. Don't know why people
don't check the archives or even attempt to read posts on the same page and continue to ask the same questions over and over.
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.
what a nasty shot at QA people
The only people you'll see in QA are the lazy ones who have no pride and no longer care.
Are you kidding me? People who make nasty comments like this with absolutely nothing to back it up are just simply trying to start something. What a nasty, nasty thing to say.
For the person who originally started this post, I personally can't stand doing MT work anymore. My wrists and back are shot and I have found that my ears are much sharper when my body isn't stressed out. I have found in QA my passion and talent and wouldn't trade it for anything. If you are awesome at MTing, maybe what everyone else is saying is worth heeding and you should stay where you are :)
Kitty on Nasty people
Your story was so long winded and boring I couldnt even finish reading it.
Then we should all use our real names. With all the nasty people here though sm
that would still be questioned. Get a life or at least a job. Obviously you can't hold the ones you get.
nasty/angry/bitter people
they're just voicing their opinion, like you just did. Does that make you nasty, anger, bitter too? I have never gotten a Christmas bonus since I have been a medical transcriptionist/editor, so I don't miss it, but I can certainly understand those who have gotten it in the past being upset about not getting it now.
This board is full of nasty , angry, bitter people. Why? sm
With this economic crisis that the entire world is under, we still have jobs that are fairly secure. We have jobs that pay more than minimum wage. We have benefits, unless IC status. We have good work environments, do not have the risk of losing an arm, leg or life in a piece of machinary or being blown up in a mine.
Yes, there are companies that do not pay. Yes, there are companies that do not pay more than 6 cpl, but we have a CHOICE on who to work for. Don't work for them. There are plenty of good companies that treat their employees well.
Christmas bonus? My husband was laid off last week from a job he has had for 27 years. That was his bonus.
Unemployment is at record highs, prices are at record highs and it does not seem to have an end in sight for many years.
Perhaps a depression would show Americans that nothing is free and people would stop standing with their hands out all the time.
As a society, we have come to expect everything to be handed to us. As a transcription professional, it is disheartening to see all the angry, bitter, hateful posts here all the time.
Transcription companies face the same rising costs as every other company out there and I am sure they feel the crunch too, but they are not telling this every second like other industries.
I am not an MTSO, not a manager, not a troll. I am just an MT who is grateful for her job and skills that will allow her family to survive this crisis without scars.
You have to use their puter, do 1200 lpd at a low rate, and they're slow and nasty getting people

I know 14 people who want to leave OSi
..
Why did the MQ people leave?
Try googling the words MQ and LAWSUITS and see what has happened to this company over the past few years. Not pretty.
Amphion have a lot of people leave? sm
Did more people leave? I do not see that work has picked up that huge of an amount. I am really tired of jumping accounts. Anyone else?
IMO, so many people have quit, they leave
the names on there to pretend everyone is still with them! Either that or they are so disorganized no one knows who actually works there and who doesn't.
too bad you all would rather let people leave than move to one of these
new accounts that are going live each week. All that hype that Transcend values its employees is just words on paper, but has never been put into practice.
Once people started to leave last year
and the company was up for sale and more office employees started to leave, we should have seen it coming. All the red flags were present I just didn't want to believe it..such a sad day..I wonder if anyone will work this week?
I'm probably 1 of 3 people to ever leave TransTech over a year ago.
s
I don't work there anymore, but I know people who do, and she did not leave. pls r/o
That person has not left the company, and she is still wreaking havoc. LOL
Old posts had people not getting paid money due them when they decided to leave. nm
s
Lots of people are happy with them, but you DO have to "clock out" every time you leave your
s
Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm
nm
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
that nasty
over the weekend.
not nasty
pointing out the contradictatory assumptions --first, the original poster was wrong, the company is wonderful and has great communication and never deceives (or leaves out vital information regarding an account). Then turns around and says communication must not be good, mgt doesn't know this is happening, who not go over your lead's head. There is either great communication or there is not great communication. The mgt should be dealing with these issues with honesty and not leaving it to MTs at home trying to help and getting all tangled up in contraindications.
.Why would a skilled MT give a company a second chance when the company obviously knew about the turmoil over the situation in the first place, and played dumb when confronted with this issue.
maybe she is - what a nasty
nm
What was nasty that I said?
There are millions of people looking for jobs right now, not just MTs. It is almost impossible to find anything at all, let alone something that will let you settle in and feel secure. I would not quit any job (even a sucky one) before I found something else.
There was absolutely nothing nasty about what I said. I do wish OP luck and anybody else who is looking.
Chill out for crying out loud.
if this is the same CC below...you are just nasty...go away! nm

Nasty and
nm
Wow how nasty! sm
I believe it was someone who realizes what this so called career has turned into. It is sad and I feel the same way. We are not appreciated. Worked out in the real world yes, prefer home. I feel after 14 years I am a professional, and used to make much, much more 5 years ago than today. Sound like a bunch of old housewives who feel important because we TYPE for a living. Obviously you are not in this profession or what used to be a profession. Yes, I have many talents and many hobbies and can do so many things it would make your big head spin right off your little neck. Oh I might pee myself to talk to the owner of the company yea, well I doubt it, I like ME, and my touch with greatness was meeting, greeting and talking with George Bush Sr., never once thought about peeing myself, sang with Jerry Jeff Walker on stage, never peed either.
UIMO that was the most creative post explaining the situation now that I have seen in a long time. Thanks for being a team player, NOT YOU (had to say it)!
Good I can go to bed now I have done my anon post on the board and I feel big and important. NIghty night, pleae let the bed bugs bite.
lets not get nasty.......
1. I am not management.
2. I have been on DocQScribe for about a year and a half.
3. I do not count the headers and footers since obviously they would not copy and paste into the Word Document. Since we don't get paid for them, why would I count them?
4. Not getting paid for headers and footers is wrong - but we are caught in this predicament - the only way to force the issue is to stop filling in the headers and footers and since I am not management and not even remotely interested in leading a revolt, I will not be the one to start this whole issue.
Sorry. I better get back to work. This board is one of the many reasons I don't meet my line count - too much internet surfing when I should be working.
I see that unless you have something nasty to say you get no replies
nm
Rather nasty tone -- that's what they get (sm)
I've been in admin before. If you are a good enough MT, a good company would save your resume for the future, possibly contact you and let you know there is nothing presently open, or even contact you for testing. Smart recruiters don't just put valuable people on junk lists (valuable being key--I would put the Dear Sir kind of countless offshore applicants in Junk Mail in a heartbeat). That sounds more like someone with a little Napoleon complex than anything.
mean and nasty is not cool..

SINCE EVERYONE IS SOOO NASTY
About typos, doesn't anyone know the difference between the usage of NO AND KNOW?
Sounds NASTY to me! ;D
.
That recruiter is still nasty!!! wow...sm
Dealt with her years ago when I was thinking about working for them, but when I found out i had to go to NJ, I declined....I hate flying, will not fly ever...last time I had to fly, I had to be given very strong meds to tolerate it as I slept thru most of it!!! But that recruiter was just plain RUDE!!!!!!
Nasty vs Touchy
The person YOU ATTACKED made 1 statement of fact. Now if YOU read it as nasty, isn't that YOUR issue? For goodness sake, it's not nasty to share a different opinion (stated with a simple statement as she did) especially when the opinion is truthful.
It's not nasty to disagree, it's healthy.
IMO, worse than attacks are those who constantly whine about BEING attacked when it simply didn't occur.
Why, why nasty response?
The OP was asking about the rates paid and I answered. VR can be productive. Sorry you seem to be having a bad day.
Wow, what a nasty and miserable POS
you are. Sheesh!!!
Nice not Nasty
I agree with you. People should be nice, not nasty. There is, of course, a difference between being bluntly honest without being nasty. I quit a company and was bluntly honest with what I thought of them and how they might improve by treating MTs as people instead of disposable commodities. So since I told them exactly what I thought of them, I don't mind telling anybody else. Simply stating a fact.
OMG, this is really a nasty comment....
I, too, paid for rent and food when I lived at home, after I graduated from highschool. But my mother was already then a widow, so understandable and justified.
No nasty replies here, I think you have
Just a question - not nasty . . .
When someone posts about hating their company, isn't it logical to say which company? Geesh. My attitude is fine. I'm just wondering about the company.
Take a look in the mirror. Why would you repsond to my post with such hostility? Wow.
Love those nasty emails
In fact, I save them for my own personal amusement. I swear I have never seen such unprofessionalism in all my years. I am so tempted to respond to some of those nutty, nasty, threatening emails but I still need to keep the job for a little bit longer.
Nasty, rude MT. Really unnecessary. nm
.
I was not nasty. KS wants all their business posted and it was
not necessary. There is a professional way to do it without posting their stats. That's all. I was not being nasty at all and did not mean anything nasty by it
I thought we were all here to help each other with information? That is just NASTY.

Medrite XL and it's said to be some very nasty software. nm

Now I know why other's don't post. I was trying to help. You turned nasty. sm
Not everyone is cut out to manage accounts, and not everyone knows how to deal with others effectively. This person I was talking about wants to make everyone happy on her own; there is nothing wrong with that. She is going back to straight typing by choice as she does not want to have to deal with scheduling and details. It is not for everyone. It was not meant as bad for her, I was just trying to help you.
Posting such a nasty remark --
is offensive to those of us who have alcoholics in our family. My youngest daughter has a drinking problem but has been sober for 3 years. I don't know what this person said, but she must have been right on the money for you to be so rude. I will say a prayer for you but I hope you rot in hell!
Nasty, angry, and bitter
About a year ago, none of us were. We knew there were changes and trying to go along with them, but as SM so perfectly put it, they have made it very difficult. I could not have said it any better SM, cheers to you.
If you think this company is something you would like, then more power to you, just remember they are about their profits and they do not gave a damn about us.
She is very rude & nasty. That's why I turned
them down. One of my friends later ended up working for them & said that lady is always like that & she ended up not staying there long. I don't know how she ever gets or keeps employees with her attitude.
Sorry, but I see nothing nasty in mtmt's post, just
agreeing with you how difficult and almost impossible it is to find a rewarding and satisfying job and wishing you good luck.
This dire situation is getting to us all, we become paranoid, nasty, suspicious, confuse humor with sarcasm and irony, etc, and it's no wonder.........
