How naive you are
Unethical practices effect all of us MTs!!! The higher management wages for not a decent days work, the lower wages for us lowly MTs. Anyone who does not work on production can get away with anything working remotely. Does that not make sense to you??? Companies do not care? Oh I think they very much do care. You are obviously defending your own poor work ethic.
You are very naive.

Don't be so naive...
at least look around for another job in case what people think is going to happen happens.
How naive.
Ask the people living in Gaza if they would agree with you. As the 4 million Iraqis in exile. Ask some Holocaust survivors.
You've got an awful lot of growing up to do.
Wow. Naive. nm
Please don't call me naive...you don't know me
I was just making an addition to what I've been reading. That's why I put I just read... jeesh
you are very naive (but in a nice way)
The Indians who are poor WILL REMAIN SO and will not get a job as an MT. There is no concept of Welfare in India either. They will starve on the side of the road while the Indians with offshored jobs buy more clothes, cellphones, cars, etc.
The reason is that it is very difficult to get a PRIMARY EDUCATION in India. Most Indians are TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY ILLITERATE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, LET ALONE ENGLISH. To send your kid to primary schools that will actually teach them something, costs money and the poor in India don't have it. It is the opposite of our country, which has a free education up to high school for all. Then we have to pay for college ourselves. In India, the colleges are free or very cheap, but the primary education is hard to get.
The person who is taking a job as an MT in India is NOT a poor soul crying thanks to the heavens that s/he can now feed their children. Much to the contrary. The people getting the MT jobs over there are of the upper middle class. They are overeducated and underemployed and end up doing MT because they can't live off their parents forever OR they are older and want to slow down. In India, MTs get paid either 1/2 or 1/3 of what call center workers get. It is considered lowly to be an MT (strictly a typist one step above the office peon and yes there is a job category in India called a peon) and the call center workers are called executives. MTs in India are failures in their chosen fields and/or could not hack it at a call center.
How do I know all this? EASY. I have family in INDIA. I have seen the classified ads for jobs there. They are so desperate for MTs that they will train anyone for free. Notice in the USA they only want EXPERIENCED MTs and then the companies cry about how THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH MTs. Crying with a loaf under each arm.
In short, sending MT jobs in India does nothing for the poor except possibly make a household servant job (pay is usually equivalent to $US 25 a MONTH) available.
Please: you're either very new or very naive

OK say she was naive like her team
Please tell us exactly what emails you are referring to that TOLD us our jobs are GONE!?! I've been RIGHT HERE trying to get work and answers - you must have been part of the golden inner circle that GOT answers - not me!
So you are embarrassed. You are also extremely naive.

with all due respect, your response is somewhat naive..sm
how easy do you think it is for a company to say our MTs are all U.S. based? Sweetness, it's called the internet. I can't believe some buy into this. If I were a doctor and assured that my dictation was being typed by all U.S. MT's, do you think I would buy that - no. Especially when they can hire overseas MTs and pay them half the wages. Pleae get with reality here. Have a great evening! Also, DRC has no say so now; remember, they were bought out.
Wow, you are a naive little thing, aren't you?
Yes, I am sure TT will get it all straightened out. It has all been just a bad dream. We will all wake up and this silly VR CRAP will have been just a nightmare. They won't be trying to RIP US OFF while trying to sweet talk us at the same time (sounds like some guys I've dated!).
About that gift... Not to sound 2 years old but, really, what else do we get in this biz? MT Week is about the only thing left and TT just ignored it. Nice. Very nice... TT Management, you can take that sweetie crap and... well, you get the picture.
Now, you go back to watching the Disney network. They have nice stories too that always have happy endings. Seems like something you can handle.
a little naive to think the 'suits' don't come here wouldn't you say? nm

"NN" means 'NOT NAIVE'
NM
Can you spell naive? See if you can answer this question..
What do you suppose happens once these people are trained to do YOUR job at less than HALF of what YOU ARE making?
get it yet?
and no, most of the time there are not plenty of jobs to go around.
I cannot believe anyone is this naive - you have an agenda perhaps?
In the dark, naive, have blinders on. ER is going down fast. nm
no msg.
You are correct: A naive person. Better jobs out there.

If you think I'M a bully you're incredibly naive
There's nothing remotely bullying about my post. I stated my opinion. You post on here asking for opinions and I gave you one. It just wasn't the self-serving opinion you were seeking assuring you that you did the right thing.
Yes, perhaps you did the right thing for you by turning that job down; but if you're so happy where you're at, why are you wasting the time of MTSOs and perhaps pushing other MTs out of the running so they can spin their wheels with you? Also, about 98% of these posts on the job seekers board indicate when a weekend day will be required; you should have known going in when you applied apparently just out of curiosity that a weekend day would be required.
Sorry, but I'll leave you to your God and your family and your ability to pick and choose 'wonderful' job offers.
I'm just glad another MT will get a shot at this job who realizes people do indeed need reports transcribed on the weekend, and I certainly hope your God is on standby if a loved one ever needs a critical care transport and all reports transcribed and ready to go, because if the staff is a bunch of MTs refusing to work weekends, it could be a real inconvenience to have to wait until Monday for the official transcribed documents to be completed and faxed.
I'm done here...
Save a penny post is not slanderous. Not only are you naive,

New, naive, desperate, carpal tunnel, slow transcriptionists... I don't know.

Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels. 
It takes a while (nm)
nm
Only takes a second
Only takes a quick second to post a message if you have your MTStars alert set up to Radiology, Keystrokes or whatever company interested in, etc. It is not that time consuming. Gets interesting on occasion.
I think there's about it takes about 2 weeks...
There's a processing time of about 2 weeks I believe, paperwork has to be sent to certain people and equipment has to be ordered and sent out to you. I'm not aware of it being based according to pay period. Just a side note, be sure you have DSL and if you don't, you'll need to order it right away to enable you to start on time.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get (sm)
equipment deposit of $300 back from Spheris once you return their equipment? I don't know who to contact. All I get is a voice mail without a return call. Thank you.
Anyone know how long it takes to
get test results back from Precyse Solutions. Are they as good as their website claims?
I like it - takes some getting used to - new drugs, etc.
nm
It's not too bad but it takes some getting used to. My lines were down for about the first
month and then have surpassed what I was doing before. The accuracy is actually pretty good. I would say probably 80% or so. There is some editing of words and stuff but most of what I have found is punctuation and the like.
It takes time but can be done
First find where your templates are kept by clicking on Tools, Options, File Location where it will show you where your templates are stored.
Open your template. Click on Format, Style and then Modify then Format then font. After you modify the font size to what you want, click OK. Now you are back to Modify Style and check apply to template.
And I'm sure that's clear as mud! Good luck!
too much going in and out.....takes up too much time.
nm
Takes you 8 hours to do what? nm

Anyone know how long it takes
quitting Spheris? Thanks!
I can't tell you what to do as I have just started and it takes a while to
get to know your account and how things go, so I won't just jump on the bandwagon. However, if Webmedx has not returned your calls or email, why not give it a shot. Its not like you can't change your mind should Webmedx ever get back to you. I have changed jobs 3 or 4 times over the last year trying to find just the right spot that works for me. Time will tell if TT is the place for me or not.
Whatever it takes for family first IMO. (sm)
TT has more work coming on, these are good people who really care about us.
We still have to work some holidays but I saw a memo allowing us to flex our time that day to allow us to enjoy our family. The 2 major holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas you rotate, work one one year, the other the next. But it really is no problem if you can flex it around your family activities.
Good luck to you whichever way you choose.
It takes special ppl to do what we do. Either you have it or you don't. sm
Not everyone is cut out for this field. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you because it definitely has it's perks! Like sitting in my PJs as I type this, while my hubby sits in traffic. It took him 5 hours to get home the other night from an ice storm. I'd list more bonuses, but there are just way too many and I have to get back to work.
This takes the cake!
I recently replied to an ad for an MT. The person offered me 1 cpl. I wrote back that 1 cpl was an insult to a newbie, let alone an MT with my experience and expertise. Here is what I got back:
I bet you are not as good as you think you are. Believe me I have been in this business for over 20 years and I get these emails and resumes from girls who want more money and thay have all this experience but when they are given the editing test they cannot even pass. I guarantee you would not pass my editing test either. And by the way after a 30 day trial period I do pay more. Good luck!
(Should I have written back that 30 day needs a hyphen?)
Anything current takes over the
First time here, or what? It's only been two days, and the wound is still fresh. Wait til somebody drops a house on YOU and we'll see how fast you shake off the injury.
That takes money and they know it.
Heck, D IS an attorney. They know that the working person doesn't have the funds to retain an attorney, pay expenses, and a ridiculously high hourly rate (even higher when it goes to court), and then do this for years while they drag it all out with motions and postponements. This whole financial system is set up to protect big business.
Whatever it takes to keep our paychecks low
They put us on ISR so we'll be faster, then confuse us with multiaccount specifics x2. By the time we get it all straight, the account leaves. Its just a sneaky ploy to keep our production low as we have to stop and refer to account specifics and fiddle with QA picking at us. Heaven forbid they should put 1 person on 1 account done a single way with 1 set of rules - she might get fast enough to actually make money. Lets put 20 people on 10 accounts with 20 sets of rules, then nobody will make squat, except maybe QA.
It takes no more time at all
to behave in a respectful manner towards anyone - no more.
I think the problem is communication through e-mail - cowards hide behind it and spew out orders in a way that they never could face-to-face. Ahh, power!
The cowards are given no rules for sending out e-mails to the people they - the cowards - consider their employees.

I love it when someone takes on Typinfool!
As, if there is an egocentric carbon-based lifeform on this planet, she is IT. I've dealt with her personally, and the ONLY opinion she will listen to is her own. She'll hack people apart without provocation or common sense. Congratulations to you for seeing her for the person she is.
Yes, but who takes the time to write
Gheesh...so ridiculous
It takes guts to boast about that on
a public forum. Your co-workers who have been there for several years must think very highly of you--NOT.
Did my time card too, takes a while. (sm)
I have been keeping my logs of job numbers and in and out times/total lines in a spiral notebook and then transferring them to a template for time cards on the computer and attaching to E-mail. There has to be a simplier way. I spent 45 minutes this morning getting this all done and totalled up.
All suggestions welcome.
