I misread your message and I am sorry. Looks like I will have to eat my words.
I guess I have just been a llitle upset about this but you did raise a valid point. Maybe I should be a little more careful.
Thanks!

My apologies...
First of all, I did not mean to upset you or anyone else.
I do not think MQ will go under. I think they will survive. I only wish they would do something about the morale issue and not just turn a blind eye. I have been through three sell outs with this company, so no I don't think they will go under. However, again, I do think that they should make a huge attempt in increasing the morale, we are what keeps the doors open. I think if morale were higher, then the negativity would go down.
I never knew this board existed until about a week ago. Since finding it, I have read everything in the archives and that has been posted since. I am in tears on a daily basis. We all know change is going to happen as it does with any company, that is a given. I know that since the change that the supervisors in my office (that just closed) are totally different. I do not feel that I can trust them. They were always so caring and treated me good, and now since the change, frankly I think the could care less about me or anyone else. That kind of change scares me. Again, I am sorry and I am just as scared as you are. I do think all will work out though. Can we call a truce here? I am not trying to be your enemy, after all - we are on the same team.
My apologies
for sounding less than respectful. I admit to not knowing the anonymous names (such as mine is) but assuming that such kvetching was coming from someone who'd not been doing this a hundred years. Changes are hard. I've been through many of them in 30 years. But if we fight them, we end up sitting outside looking in, or at our jobs going places we don't want them to go. Where people would love PTO, fair pay, and reasonable expectations.
DQS becomes more user friendly with time. I have old, tired hands, as well and prefer transcribing slower, even if it means I have to do it a little longer to bring home the bacon.
Group hug was a great idea.
My apologies
I understand that I may have been a pain in the butt - but business is business. I have left D&L so feel free to go back to work or continue if you enjoyed / enjoy it. I won't be bothering you anymore. I left D&L, I was not fired or let go, and my concerns are valid to me - does not matter to anyone else. so any problems they may have should be reevaluated by those applying. I do not see them going downhill - I have not heard anything negative, and personally - the people who work there the worker bees - are a great group of people that I would keep on my friends list. And they do have plenty of work, the pay is compatible. My personal feelings and opinions have nothing to do with the co-workers or the IC trans - or the work they offer. So again, I guess when I left I did them a favor and took the problems with me - or not. So now you all can get back to getting the scoop on the employer and not the employees.

My apologies
I just went back to my email and discovered that somebody who works at MTs emailed me privately, although I still don't recall seeing anything posted publicly in answer to my questions.
Since I'm starting to get the idea based on that, that maybe they're not supposed to talk...????, I will therefore be general and vague.
The person's review of MTS to me was actually very positive. The owner of the company was a Transcriptionist herself, and the second-in-command also worked as a transcriptionist. That in itself goes a really long way toward giving the company big-time CREDIBILITY because it means it's not being run by suits who don't really understand the business.
Apparently they pay by the dictated minute, and apparently it works out to a reasonably fair arrangement. I do have questions about how that works out when you get a really fast-talker, but I suppose the fast-talkers are evened out by the slow-talkers. I hope anyway...
I personally never heard back from them, though my batting average would have been 1.000 without them - I got offers or serious (but too late) callbacks from everywhere else I applied.
My apologies -sm
Your post sounded like something mgmt. would say, which you're obviously not, judging from you 2nd post. Having said that, I'm in your ballpark. They do get annoying after a while, bragging about their bonuses which were offered at 1-1/2 lines for everybody before the hiring blitz in the spring, now it seems only a few, chosen ones are getting bonuses. 
Deepest apologies
I do know who you are because I've talked to you on the telephone. It has absolutely nothing to do with this board.
And yes, they do love people like you. People who do not mind getting a 25% reduction in their pay for headers and footers.
Enough said about Breitner, they are a waste of time - PERIOD!
As I stated in the msg above, I did not know you could use your own. My apologies. nm

My apologies, thought you were a US MT

My apologies...Geez
I hope it didn't appear as if I were biting your head off because I'd never do that to a fellow MT when we're in the same boat. I'm just exasperated and frustrated (and going broke now, lol!).
In all honesty, I was very offended by this morning's email when I know several of us have been emailing inquiring about where the work has gone, is there work available on another account, etc., only to have our cries for help fall on deaf ears.
I can't help but wonder if these new accounts are going to be VR accounts, which is why they're hiring a whole new crew since the last account they went to VR was met with such resistance by so many MTs.
Either that or perhaps the above poster is correct and they'd like to drive out the longer-term, higher-salaried MTs...But I don't want to believe that.
Anyway, my apologies if my response to your other post seemed abrupt. I just don't want anyone at MDI thinking if their work disappears that it's as simple as requesting a backup account, when the past month or so have made it painfully clear to those of us who have tried to get more work that it's not the case.
Good luck to ALL of us, not only at MDI but every other MT who is having their work disappear.
My apologies on moving the post (SM)
I moved this post originally to the Medquist board, by mistake.
This is not Medquist but a totally different company.
My apologies! Not line ... MINUTE!
We paid $3.50 per dictated minute for JLG to do the work. We paid our ICs $1.50 per dictated minute for a 2500+ minutes/month contract.
Whew!!
My apologies. I just assumed, which is horrible. sm
Do not base communication on your lead. If you are not happy, call Becky at the office. There have been changes and they are listening to suggestions, which is good. My lead is NOT the best but I have an easy account. I always call the office or email BB if I need something. The response is immediate. I bet you are on an account with my lead (HIM). Email if you want as I love to network with other strokers.
Apologies - my quote marks were deleted!?...nm

SS owes everyong on this board her deepsest apologies!her
Your downright lies and underhanded business practices make you no nothing more than a con man. You have so many intricate schemes going that even you can't even keep them straight. Yes, you reap what you sew, and I agree with the other poster that stated that you have reaped havoc that you and you alone created! Welcome to your own personal hell, SS, may you suffer until you reflect upon what you have done and repent for your sins! You are the most pathetic human being I have ever met! That goes for Leo, too, or whatever his real.
