It's grow up, not grow-up. Whose grammar/spelling
are you trying to correct? 
Thanks for your help! Guess I'll go with them.

Thanks! Guess I'll see it for myself tomorrow!
Thanks for the info!
guess I'll have to go that route too,
if even MDI can put us in this situation.
I guess you'll find out when you go to work there....sm
Just be sure to not resign from Transcend until you see if this other company is truly all they told you they would be.
Guess I'll be thinkin' some more before I jump in!

Guess I'll pass too. Lots of experience sm
with these types of reports but the pay is pretty shabby for a veteran MT.
*sigh* I guess I'll be sending out resumes today.
and now they have an ad on MT Daily and MT Jobs? I don't get it. I just got the backlog status report and there are a grand total of five reports on my account - and those have probably been snatched up by now by MTs waiting for work just like me.
I'll take a guess and say TransTech as they tell you up front you don't get headers/footers an

And you really should grow up!

OH GROW UP!!!

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.

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

If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
if someone puts up with crap for 5 years... they deserve the crap!! good grief... grow a set and get

Guess you are not doing your job right then.....

My guess...
I may be wrong but my guess is that this is CorT. I have been with them only 4 months but I have many MT sisters who have been with them longer and love it.
I guess Everyone Else....
Since no responses, I guess I am the only MT who works for a national that charges for templates but doesn't tell you upfront or put it in a contract....oh well....time for another company!!!
I guess when you look at it that way...

I guess it was just me...
but it came off as sounding like the stereotype of slaves on the "plantation" - it just didn't sit right with me...
You are in the know, but guess what
SO AM I. Spaces my XXX. Maybe you but not all of us for sure. Pay on time. Come on, talk about not telling the truth. Last couple of times maybe, but until everyone started screaming on here came whenever. 
Guess what... sm
I am not management and they are a wonderful company. I have heard and read bad things yet I have worked there for quite some time and I have never seen any of what you say. They are nice people and they would not fire someone for being sick or family emergency. There has to be more to that story. TH rocks!
Of course I don't guess!!!!!!!!!!!
No, there's no guessing medical transcription. These dictators are clear as a bell!! A wonderful company to work for.
I guess everyone has a different
I'm with DK and have never been happier. I have no trouble doing over 1800 lines in an 8 hour shift on the CTS platform. I will say though that I work on mainly one account (that helps some). 
Did they just guess?
nm
I guess both.

guess that's right
I went back to the policies at the top of the page and didn't see anything about naming names, but I'm pretty sure the moderator has asked us not to do this and yes, I was referring to her name, not yours. I guess we're certainly free to use our own, but am pretty sure that at one time we were told not to mention names. Guess I was wrong or it was changed. Thanks.
my guess is because not enough MTs take this job serious enough.
Let's put it this way, every time I turn around I hear MTs saying they want to be there for their kids (nothing wrong with that) but when I was raising my kids, I worked outside the home and if they had a play at school I could not get off to go. The MTs of today want to do it all with their kids and think they can work but the fact is in the real world they would not be able to do that and that is not the real way to treat this job SO COMPANIES HAVE TO COVER THEIR TUSH. There are always going to be those who treat this like a real job but from what I am seeing the majority of the MTs nowadays who are younger just want to work the job in around their life and that just cannot be done and have a company be successful SO companies have to overhire to cover themselves. If they had people who treated this more like a real job, all that overhiring would not be necessary. All of us MTs who take our job seriously have suffered because of this new attitude.
You guess right..(nm)
.
I guess they are still around, but they were the
absolute worst company to work for. Be wary with them is all I will say.
Thanks all..... I guess it is
 better to know the devil than to get surprised again. I sure do appreciate this input. I will simply put on the person who is talking with me. She is supposed to call today to set me up. It seemed awful pushy and fast to me. You are, indeed, jewels!!!
