grow up
Why do you stay at Amphion if you hate it so much and have such dislike of the people? Seriously. Make room for those that had to leave and didn't want to. You are sitting where they want to be and then complaining about it and trashing them all while calling yourself a quiet mt. makes no sense to me. these economic times are hard for everyone, and you cannot keep blaming Amphion for needing to reduce staff, too.
Oh, grow up!!!
It's everybody elses' fault, right, that you are making what you made 20 years ago? Face the fact that clients will not pay big bucks for MT services anymore. Those days are over!!!
Grow up?
Oh so just because clients aren't paying what they used to that means I have to give even more of my money to a subcontractor who is providing a service to me by hiring for other companies. Quit drinking the Kool-Aid already and catch a clue. You obviously work for TTD and love being taken advantage of - good grief! Start your own forum called MTs without a clue and I am sure you and your Kool-Aid friends will have a great time.

Oh grow up.
Saint Gourdpainter. Give it a rest.
Guess what. Most of us already HAVE gone through what the MDI folks are going through now. We just didn't take a week and a billion posts to commiserate about it.
Seriously, it's not like Huricane Katrina or 9/11 or something.
It's BUSINESS. **** happenes.
Deal!
And I second the motion to move the MDI/Transcend soap operate OFF the company board.
ENOUGH ALREADY!
Oh Grow UP!
Smoking cigars and drinking brandy? What did you think you signed up for anyway? Getting paid lots and lots of money to sit at home? You get what you put into this. If you want to get paid hourly, go work in-house. If you want to get paid by production and have the freedom to work at home, don't expect to make big bucks, expect to make about what you would make working at a retail store. Sadly, this is just a normal to low paying job now. Take it or leave it, but give us all a break with the drama.
THINK AND GROW RICH
One size does not fit all. Be true to yourself and your abilities.
You are kidding yourself. OSi is not growing. You cannot grow without
OSi wants to be big, but that will never happen because they will not listen to anyone about giving the MTs more instead of putting all the profits into their own pockets. All you get at OSi is your base line rate...that is it. Nothing extra for nights, weekends, holidays. They make you pay for the foot pedal and even the cheap spell checker.
You pretty much said it all when you said that OSi is choosy about who they invite to their parties!! How awful! When most companies have company parties, all employees are invited. That is pretty sad and pretty much says it all about OSi.
why don't you grow up and get a life you troll

Quit whining and grow up
So, you were fired from Spheris. Probably because you couldn't cut it. You get 90 days to make your production, and if after 90 days, you aren't producing, they will cut you loose. Why should they keep people like you, who are obviously bitter, and carrying a huge chip on your shoulder, when there are other so-called newbies, with good work ethics who want to work hard, and are willing to put in the time required to get the production required. 3 months is a long time to get used to an account, and build your production. There must have been more to your firing than what you state in your post.
Hopefully you will find employment elsewhere. But, I would urge you to change your attitude, lose the chip on your shoulder and grow up. Don't blame everything and everyone around you. Take a look at your production, skills, etc. and then ask yourself again, why Spheris let you go.
My guess - they'll grow until their #1 (sm)
and with growth comes growing pains. Yes indeed, check your facts.

I think sooner or later MTs will be forced to grow
backbones, because as the pay for MT work edges ever closer to 0 cpl, there comes a point where the MT will leave altogether or turn around and start swinging both fists. For quite a long time now, I've believed that the truth is, MTSO's don't really WANT the more costly American MTs. The sooner they can drive us all out, the sooner they'll have the excuse they've been waiting for in order to be able to just pack up and take it all overseas. Companies who actually want to RETAIN good employees just don't treat them the way MTs are treated.
I have been with KS for a few years now and love it. They grow continuously without sm
losing accounts, so that is why they are always recruiting. The last information I saw was that they doubled in size between last year and this year and will do so again by this time next year.
Then they need to stand their ground, grow a spine,

Wow, grow up. You're a kid yourself with that immature response...nm

And I see, too, that your grammar is as top notch as your spelling!
HAHAHAHAHA
Applying the right grammar and spelling
should not be an extra effort. But this only if one is good at it.
What logic is this: Today I am tired, so my grammar and spelling are bad.
I can understand: Today I am tired, so I make a lot of typos.
But some will never understand the difference.
Do you only use correct grammar and spelling
when you are paid for it?
hope your spelling and grammar on work are better than this.

No grammar and spelling/capitalization police please, nm

Ignore the grammar and spelling police
on this board and in private email, and they will go away.

YOU call us ANIMALS because we pay attention to correct grammar and spelling?
There is no strong word enough to say what you are.
With such an attitude and work moral you should get out of the MT profession.
Ya, but it's not a spelling error, it's a grammar error!
Get it?
grammar
Check it out. A company cannot be a "who." Only a person can be a "who."
Grammar
All I can say is  .
I have been transcribing now for 3 years and have never heard a thing about my grammar. I have gotten reports back the past couple of days this week stating: There should be a comma here.. there should be a semicolon there.. you shouldn't have put a period, but a semicolon.. or when I put something as far as a comma where I was told to.. I would get it back stating that it was unnecessary, HUH? Not only that, but I would have a passage from a grammar website pasted on the report that was sent back in e-mail. LOL.
I give credit where credit is due, but seriously...
Now instead of being paranoid about any kind of medical errors-- I am worried about if a comma is in the right place. Nice, huh? Everything that I was corrected on was trivial.
So, while I was sitting there feeling kicked in the gut waiting for my next grammar correction, I found myself looking through samples and reports transcribed by other people and found that the commas that I had on my reports were on other peoples transcriptions, too!
No medical errors, miskakes, misplaced words, missing words, format issues, and I get grilled about a comma.
 I felt like I was back in highschool. 
Seriously, is this normal?? I am thinking about leaving this place. I have never felt so insulted. A comma should be the last thing on their mind..especially when seeing the horrendous mistakes that were sent to clients by other transcriptionists in the database. 
Just needed to vent. Am I wrong to be so irritated about this?
Grammar
 So do you practice what you preach? I noticed in your heading you typed you not your. Or did you type it that way on purpose?
You know some come to this board upset or in a hurry. I know I have. There are times, I am sure, some come to this board dead tired from working all day or putting up with really bad dictators.
Bottom line is that we are all human and humans are not perfect 24/7 365 days out of the year. This is just a place we can let our hair down so to speak. If you don't like it perhaps you can find a board out in cyber space somewhere where all is perfect.
grammar
I would stick to my guns. I don't know how old you are, but I was taught the same things in school and I refuse to change my habits now. They have done that to me as well. It makes absolutely no sense to me either for QA to make corrections like that where they aren't needed. I think that sometimes the QA people just get off on thinking they are better transcriptions than we are. Unless it was some rule by the hospital (which would be insane), I would just keep doing what you do. I DO ! I have never, ever been reprimanded by any of my own clients or any hospital client in this lifetime. Do what you do best, girlfriend !
With grammar like yours
With grammar like yours, I wonder how YOU got and keep YOUR job!
we do not correct anyone's grammar....sm
who needs trolling word police 
Grammar and typos
I believe that Goldbird posted the same thing about there being no need to correct people on the board for typos or grammatical errors. There's really no need.
grammar and commas
Yes. grammar and commas are very important and it was one huge issue where I trained. One suggestion, turn on your grammar checker in Word and watch the *green line* appear. It will keep you aware of your comma errors. It is worth the effort to find and correct your mistakes prior to report submission. good luck to you!
Your poor grammar
You are not using proper sentence rules by using a lower case letter to begin a sentence. I truly do not believe you have a simple typo, sorry.
Please do not grammar police here...
Many MTs come to this site to relax and may not have the time or desire to proofread their messages.

Thanks for the 101 grammar lesson ...sm
Gee, it looks like none of us MTs would even know how to spell and punctuate if you QAs weren't around to teach us how. The MTs are paying your salary, for the most part, yet most of you act as though we have to answer to you! We answer to whoever pays our meager salary, and it's not you, baby! You all say you don't have time to look this up to fill in blanks....well, that's what you're paid to do. You don't have the time for this, for that... but the MT is supposed to do all this unpaid work while you're above it. Get off of your high horse!
Excuse my bad grammar, there are
I guessed that after seeing the grammar and
spelling errors in its ad.
GRAMMAR POLICE - sm
Having nothing meaningful to contribute, these immature holier-than-thou self-proclaimied experts need to vent their insecurities by finding fault with something as insignificant as spelling/grammar. Reminds me a lot of a large percentage of QAs -- need to nitpick on something trivial, real or imagined.
I would just tell them to kiss my butt, unless they are also paying my salary - otherwise they should MTOB.

I'm not one to correct grammar
or spelling on a message board, but I do think how one presents themselves on a message board does reflect on the quality of work that a person produces. If a person who needs to know spelling and grammar for their job, cannot produce a quality post on a message board, I would think the quality of their work would reflect the same, and I don't mean a measly typo that can happen to us all, but out and out incorrect spelling and grammar is either laziness or ineptness, which I think also reflects on how well they do their job. Do people not take any pride in how they present themselves? If one wants to be taken seriously, I would think their posts would reflect that.
Grammar is dead.
I wish it were not so, because I'm with you - reading some posts almost makes my eyes bleed. I get such stuff from supervisors, from the owner of my company, from friends and it all drives me nuts! I think the advent of ''instant communication'' has killed thoughtful written expression. Don't U disagree? Nobody takes the time to proofread anymore - just bang out a message, maybe run spellcheck, and hit SEND. Nobody sees the point that there is a difference between the word then and the word than. They now are used interchangeably. Gaaag! There, their, they're; to, too - all the same, right?
A grammar checker for they're/their?
There is no need to correct anyone's grammar on this board. (NM)
