and drifted to another company.  It's not your fault, and it's easy to see how you could have taken it the way you did.  (As an aside, I totally understand and empathize with the late nights!!!)  

And I agree with what you said.  It is very helpful to express good experiences with a company.  However, I'm not going to do that unless I've been with a company for a minimum of 1-1/2 years.

I don't know how long you've been with FN.  I can only speak from my own experience, and I came here before as a newbie, bragging about how great a company was, only to discover months later that the negative comments I responded to were completely accurate and warranted, and now I have egg on my face.  ~LOL~

I won't ever post a positive post about a company until well after the honeymoon period, when I'm certain they're for real, even though I know how tempting it is when you think you've struck gold and found the right company, getting good line counts, making lots of money, etc., to want to share that positive experience with the world!

Sometimes I think that's part of the company's reason for the honeymoon period:  So the employees will think the company is so great, they happily and unwittingly become a PR person for the company.

I've recently been burned pretty badly by the company the above poster was referring to, so that's why I responded.  Even though she didn't mention any specific names, those of us who are employed by that company know exactly who she was talking about.

Again, I apologize for confusing the issue.  I totally believe everything you said about FN, and I'm glad you found a company that makes you want to defend it.  There's nothing better than being able to respect and trust your employer.  I hope someday I can find that kind of company, and I just might check FN, based on your comments.

anywhere for a while ... 

WordPerfect 5.1

We still have clients that use it.  If they are still on DOS-based word processing, do you REALLY think they are going to invest in Voice Recognition?  Do you think that they are so open to change that they will welcome offshore transcription with open arms?

We have to learn technology and be ready for change, just like when typewriters were replaced by computers, but technology changes do not happy everywhere overnight. 

In addition, the VR that I have seen in place has a LONG way to go.  If they put it out too early, which I truly believe, it will take a lot to convince someone to give it another try.  I think this is why they realize now that they cannot do without the transcription component.

Can't get rid of us that easily

I often quote Einstein when he gave his reason for not remembering his home address.  He said he didn't dedicate anything to memory he could look up so he could use more of his brain on more important thoughts!  Of course, I'm blonde so that saves me sometimes :)

BUT, when it comes to knowing tenon versus Tenon, that is important and will slip by any well taken and readily available notes when you're going too fast to care to look it up.  Well taken notes don't help if you don't remember the contents.  I think everyone has stumbling words but good MTs know how to compensate for that with good work habits and productivity tools.  Having a cooperative attitude is something else they test for on verbals.

For all of those confused readers, I would invite you to read the post that is encaptioned - Such hostility!  Wow! - which is right above the - Your [sic] just jealous! post - for a quick summary of the original point. 

Once again, I would like to say that I believe we all deserve to be treated well - not just by our company, but by our fellow MTs - and I wish everyone all the best.   

I worked for MQ a long time ago as well as an IC.  I was in-house back then and we had just our primary account.  It was a nice job years ago. 

Sure, why don't you send me an E-mail and let me know what report types you transcribe and how many years experience you have.  I have not seen an advertised opening where I work for around 8 months, but sometimes the owner asks if we know someone who would be interested before an ad is placed.  I will gladly pass along your information.

someone posted below you'll get the good, the bad, and the ugly.  As far as the nasty person I believe she has been talked to as things are better.  . 

about racial prejudice - really shocking, and someone named eyetype was proudly gloating and calling herself a string of things of which I can only recall old hateful bigot, but she was gonna get a new attitude, or something to that effect. Whole thing now deleted, conveniently, but I actually made a sticky note to remember who it was that said these horrible things.  Now that's a HUGE spot to reach in my world - SO BAD that I would put a sticky note anywhere!  I have never done that before in my life, and there are some ugly posters around these here woods!!  I wanted to be sure to steer clear of you and NEVER forget what you said, you or the other eyetype?
