to all of you for the remarkable things you had to say.  I have followed up on your good, good suggestions and have figured out what makes for me the most sense to do.  I am happy to find I am not alone in this wretched struggle, but sad anyway that so many of you talented professionals face this mind-displacing situation of work, work, work, work, work--and for what yield? 

I am touched that so many of you would have taken the time you did to respond to what I wrote with such thoughtful care.  You are a remarkable group of kind people.

It just depends on what your priorities are I guess.  Some people do that for kids, animals, a house, a car...if it makes you happy--go for it!  That whole life it too short and all...

explain to me how you add things to shorthand, when I open it, there are already some things there, but how do add something like sob for shortness of breath and have it save so you can use it??

to work there....all QA came from India, the most ridiculous QA I had EVER experienced.  It got to a point where I would NOT even pay any attention to QA that was sent to me. 

Editing can be the best and the worst job you will ever have.  I derived so much satisfaction from teaching and mentoring the transcriptionists.  I provided excellent feedback and did my best to help them become better MTs.  On the other hand, it can be aggravating to the core.  Some MTs appreciate the input, thank you for it, and put it into immediate practice.  Others, however, are the abusers of the system and don't care about the quality of their work and send through the same crap over and over again, knowing that the Editor will have to correct it or risk a negative QA review him/herself.  There were times I felt as though it would have been easier to delete the whole report and type it from scratch rather than go line by line, correcting multiple errors in every sentence.  Editing became a bad deal when the MTSOs figured out how much money they would save by paying the editors per line rather than per hour or salary.  The editor was expected to perform all the same duties, often including reformatting or retyping the entire report and correcting all the repeat account specific errors, WHICH, by the way, have been explained to the same offenders over and over again.  The editor earns a fraction of what the original MT does for the same report but often invests just as much time in the report.  Also there is no compensation for feedback sent in e-mails.  Like I said, there are days you will love it, but there are days, also, where you will sit in your chair, steaming and enraged at how you are being taken advantage of by your company and the MTs who abuse your knowledge and time. 

need to keep from naming names.  I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line. 

I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company.  I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people.  If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession.  When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl.  If it were me being talked about, I would be livid.  I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
