that nasty
over the weekend.
not nasty
pointing out the contradictatory assumptions --first, the original poster was wrong, the company is wonderful and has great communication and never deceives (or leaves out vital information regarding an account). Then turns around and says communication must not be good, mgt doesn't know this is happening, who not go over your lead's head. There is either great communication or there is not great communication. The mgt should be dealing with these issues with honesty and not leaving it to MTs at home trying to help and getting all tangled up in contraindications.
.Why would a skilled MT give a company a second chance when the company obviously knew about the turmoil over the situation in the first place, and played dumb when confronted with this issue.
maybe she is - what a nasty

What was nasty that I said?
There are millions of people looking for jobs right now, not just MTs. It is almost impossible to find anything at all, let alone something that will let you settle in and feel secure. I would not quit any job (even a sucky one) before I found something else.
There was absolutely nothing nasty about what I said. I do wish OP luck and anybody else who is looking.
Chill out for crying out loud.
if this is the same CC below...you are just nasty...go away! nm

Nasty and

Wow how nasty! sm
I believe it was someone who realizes what this so called career has turned into. It is sad and I feel the same way. We are not appreciated. Worked out in the real world yes, prefer home. I feel after 14 years I am a professional, and used to make much, much more 5 years ago than today. Sound like a bunch of old housewives who feel important because we TYPE for a living. Obviously you are not in this profession or what used to be a profession. Yes, I have many talents and many hobbies and can do so many things it would make your big head spin right off your little neck. Oh I might pee myself to talk to the owner of the company yea, well I doubt it, I like ME, and my touch with greatness was meeting, greeting and talking with George Bush Sr., never once thought about peeing myself, sang with Jerry Jeff Walker on stage, never peed either.
UIMO that was the most creative post explaining the situation now that I have seen in a long time. Thanks for being a team player, NOT YOU (had to say it)!
Good I can go to bed now I have done my anon post on the board and I feel big and important. NIghty night, pleae let the bed bugs bite.
lets not get nasty.......
1. I am not management.
2. I have been on DocQScribe for about a year and a half.
3. I do not count the headers and footers since obviously they would not copy and paste into the Word Document. Since we don't get paid for them, why would I count them?
4. Not getting paid for headers and footers is wrong - but we are caught in this predicament - the only way to force the issue is to stop filling in the headers and footers and since I am not management and not even remotely interested in leading a revolt, I will not be the one to start this whole issue.
Sorry. I better get back to work. This board is one of the many reasons I don't meet my line count - too much internet surfing when I should be working.
I see that unless you have something nasty to say you get no replies
nm
Rather nasty tone -- that's what they get (sm)
I've been in admin before. If you are a good enough MT, a good company would save your resume for the future, possibly contact you and let you know there is nothing presently open, or even contact you for testing. Smart recruiters don't just put valuable people on junk lists (valuable being key--I would put the Dear Sir kind of countless offshore applicants in Junk Mail in a heartbeat). That sounds more like someone with a little Napoleon complex than anything.
mean and nasty is not cool..

SINCE EVERYONE IS SOOO NASTY
About typos, doesn't anyone know the difference between the usage of NO AND KNOW?
Sounds NASTY to me! ;D
.
That recruiter is still nasty!!! wow...sm
Dealt with her years ago when I was thinking about working for them, but when I found out i had to go to NJ, I declined....I hate flying, will not fly ever...last time I had to fly, I had to be given very strong meds to tolerate it as I slept thru most of it!!! But that recruiter was just plain RUDE!!!!!!
Nasty vs Touchy
The person YOU ATTACKED made 1 statement of fact. Now if YOU read it as nasty, isn't that YOUR issue? For goodness sake, it's not nasty to share a different opinion (stated with a simple statement as she did) especially when the opinion is truthful.
It's not nasty to disagree, it's healthy.
IMO, worse than attacks are those who constantly whine about BEING attacked when it simply didn't occur.
Why, why nasty response?
The OP was asking about the rates paid and I answered. VR can be productive. Sorry you seem to be having a bad day.
Wow, what a nasty and miserable POS
you are. Sheesh!!!
Nice not Nasty
I agree with you. People should be nice, not nasty. There is, of course, a difference between being bluntly honest without being nasty. I quit a company and was bluntly honest with what I thought of them and how they might improve by treating MTs as people instead of disposable commodities. So since I told them exactly what I thought of them, I don't mind telling anybody else. Simply stating a fact.
I'm not being nasty. Don't know why people
don't check the archives or even attempt to read posts on the same page and continue to ask the same questions over and over.
OMG, this is really a nasty comment....
I, too, paid for rent and food when I lived at home, after I graduated from highschool. But my mother was already then a widow, so understandable and justified.
No nasty replies here, I think you have
Just a question - not nasty . . .
When someone posts about hating their company, isn't it logical to say which company? Geesh. My attitude is fine. I'm just wondering about the company.
Take a look in the mirror. Why would you repsond to my post with such hostility? Wow.
You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Love those nasty emails
In fact, I save them for my own personal amusement. I swear I have never seen such unprofessionalism in all my years. I am so tempted to respond to some of those nutty, nasty, threatening emails but I still need to keep the job for a little bit longer.
Not trying to be nasty to my fellow QT people, but maybe we should THINK that they just need us
to work hard and go above and beyond the call of duty just because it's the right thing to do in this case to get things back in order. That was an honest, heartfelt this morning....why don't we forget about what used to be for right now and just help out. I thnk we'll all be glad in the long run if we do.
Nasty, rude MT. Really unnecessary. nm
.
I was not nasty. KS wants all their business posted and it was
not necessary. There is a professional way to do it without posting their stats. That's all. I was not being nasty at all and did not mean anything nasty by it
I thought we were all here to help each other with information? That is just NASTY.

Medrite XL and it's said to be some very nasty software. nm

Now I know why other's don't post. I was trying to help. You turned nasty. sm
Not everyone is cut out to manage accounts, and not everyone knows how to deal with others effectively. This person I was talking about wants to make everyone happy on her own; there is nothing wrong with that. She is going back to straight typing by choice as she does not want to have to deal with scheduling and details. It is not for everyone. It was not meant as bad for her, I was just trying to help you.
Posting such a nasty remark --
is offensive to those of us who have alcoholics in our family. My youngest daughter has a drinking problem but has been sober for 3 years. I don't know what this person said, but she must have been right on the money for you to be so rude. I will say a prayer for you but I hope you rot in hell!
what a nasty shot at QA people
The only people you'll see in QA are the lazy ones who have no pride and no longer care.
Are you kidding me? People who make nasty comments like this with absolutely nothing to back it up are just simply trying to start something. What a nasty, nasty thing to say.
For the person who originally started this post, I personally can't stand doing MT work anymore. My wrists and back are shot and I have found that my ears are much sharper when my body isn't stressed out. I have found in QA my passion and talent and wouldn't trade it for anything. If you are awesome at MTing, maybe what everyone else is saying is worth heeding and you should stay where you are :)
Nasty, angry, and bitter
About a year ago, none of us were. We knew there were changes and trying to go along with them, but as SM so perfectly put it, they have made it very difficult. I could not have said it any better SM, cheers to you.
If you think this company is something you would like, then more power to you, just remember they are about their profits and they do not gave a damn about us.
If you leave, they win. Some of these people can get really nasty...sm
especially when you bite back, but if all the nice decent people leave, the nasties win, and we no longer have a place to come and help each other out, blow off some steam, and have a laugh or 2.
It is probably just a few nasty people. They hide like cowards behind name changes, and pop on and off, but if you pay attention to what they say and how they write, you see the pattern and who they are.
There are a couple who are particularly nasty. You just have to either bite them back, kill em with kindess or just totally ignore them. They do it just to push your buttons, so you really should not let them run you off completely. There have been a few times I have let these people get to me, and I swore I would never come back here, but I really like the nice people who are here, and even though I have many years experience, I am a humble person and know I can always learn something. This board can teach you a lot. The helpful people here have provided fantastic web sites and information you just can't find anywhere else.
SO THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO ARE HELPFUL AND KIND!
Kitty on Nasty people
Your story was so long winded and boring I couldnt even finish reading it.
She is very rude & nasty. That's why I turned
them down. One of my friends later ended up working for them & said that lady is always like that & she ended up not staying there long. I don't know how she ever gets or keeps employees with her attitude.
Sorry, but I see nothing nasty in mtmt's post, just
agreeing with you how difficult and almost impossible it is to find a rewarding and satisfying job and wishing you good luck.
This dire situation is getting to us all, we become paranoid, nasty, suspicious, confuse humor with sarcasm and irony, etc, and it's no wonder.........
Truth or not, there's a nice way and a nasty way
She was very nasty in the threads yesterday to
people who just learned of the line rate cut, then indicated she was bowing out of this whole discussion after getting called on it. Someone said they didn't think she'd be gone long. Looks like they were right.
Nobody said she's not allowed to post. It's just making her look really silly.
I guess some folks have to be nasty sm
but in my own defense it has nothing to do with my quality of work. I had heard about all these companies that treat folks really bad and didn't believe it. I found out the hard way. Very difficult since my last long term company I was at for 23 years!
FYI, Keystrokes offered me two more accounts neitherof which I wanted because the money was so bad and the accounts horrible. One was the awful account another poster talked about and believe me I wouldn't even start the account.
You don't have a clue what you are talking about.
Your posts are always so nasty. Get a grip already. nm

Why such an attitude
So take that? Are you sticking your tongue out too? I certainly hope you find some serenity somewhere. You must still be working for one of those "rotten companies" if you are complaining about their pay schedule.
Your Attitude Says It All
It seems to me by the tenor of your posting that maybe you have an attitude problem. I have been a medical Transcriptionist for almost 30 years and have seen people like you come and go, mostly go. Did it ever occur to you, that maybe you were the problem?
Your attitude
You wonder why you don't get raises or bonuses? Take some time and think about it. You are just plain nasty. Just do your work, follow instructions from your manager and take personal responsibility, Psychic network? Sounds like you're all too familiar with it. Maybe youre watching too much of that instead of working, or maybe chatting on line in the chat rooms, dissing anybody you can for your poor performance. Take responsibility for your work, you own it. Don't turn it back on anyone else. Maybe youre one of those ones that think a tad bit more digoxin is not gonna harm a thing, or maybe if a diagnosis is just a tad bit off, no harm done right? Get off your psychic network behind and get with the real world.
We all get to have attitude ..
To save ourselves from embarrassment we should probably try to make it a good one .. ;-)
Attitude
Ain't that the truth! I try to keep a good attitude, but sometimes people just knock that right out of you.
That attitude towards others
is uncalled for on this or any other board
RE: attitude is everything..
 I'll be sure to tell my ex-coworkers you said that; I'm sure they'll have a whole new outlook on their situations when I pass on that little piece of misguided 'advice' from you. Maybe if you removed those rose-colored glasses for a minute, you might actually see the many, many people who used to enjoy their jobs, worked hard every day, didn't say anything negative about SPi and then were summarily fired on a conference call without warning. Or maybe those people who logged in to work only to find they had been canned - again without warning - should change their attitudes. Or how about people who were let go because they couldn't meet the standards that were then lowered when those jobs were given to offshore workers?
If you're lucky enough to still have an account you love, count your rare blessings. Then go ask your supervisor if it's one of the accounts that they're right now changing over to voice recognition, or taking away from US employees and transferring overseas, or getting rid of because it's not profitable enough.
I appreciate that you have a good attitude and, yes, being negative all the time and/or for no reason is not a good thing. However, the people you're reprimanding and insinuating should just quit their whining and be happy like you are frequently now have to worry about where dinner's going to come from, whether they'll lose their house, how long they'll be on antidepressants since they lost their jobs at SPi, etc.; that's all due to SPi. And those are just a few reasons people are venting on this board and elsewhere. They have a right to release a bit of frustration and not feel so thankful and blessed right now, thank you very much. That does not mean they have bad attitudes.
And while I'm up here on this soap box, I might as well correct another error you made. A LOT of the people you're referring to did NOT have a choice in the matter (see above about the firings - and those are just two examples). Yes, there are people who quit, but many of them that I know were virtually forced to do so by the circumstances they were forced to work under. And others were told they'd better move on before they got fired. I personally know people in QA, MT, tech support, supervision, and management who have felt the ill consequences of working for SPi specifically.
I'm glad you're happy at SPi, and I'm not suggesting you shouldn't be or even that you're wrong in your idea that attitude can make a difference; it certainly can. What I am saying is that not everyone has had the good experience with SPi that you seem to have had; in fact, you may even be in the minority, believe it or not. And you should be aware of how condescending your message sounded. You might have a good 'attitude' but you certainly don't have good manners.
Attitude is everything...
I have personally been with SPi four years. We have gone through a lot of changes. What company doesn't? It is really unprofessional and concerning when you see negative posts about SPi. I started as an MT (15 years experience already), and I now work in QA. I love my job! Attitude is everything! People choose to have a good or bad atittude. People also choose where they wish to be employed. Could go on and on but won't. The positives for which I choose to stay with SPi consist of working an account I love and am committed to, direct deposit every 2 weeks (they have not missed one, can't say that for some others); and awesome benefits package for all employees. This company is here to stay. It is financially strong and structurally solid. I'm sure everyone has heard the saying, If you can't say something nice....then don't say anything at all. It really is a bad reflection toward those who choose to be negative. Life is too short! : )
attitude is 90% of everything
I know, attitude doesn't pay the bills. but with the right attitude, you will be patient for an hour or two if work is slow, or talk to your liaison about any concerns, and i per my experience, he/she will do all they can to work with you to overcome any obstacles. I researched this job/company before i started and in 33 yr of MTing, i've never been happier. Again, it depends on what you are looking for in a job, and the attitude you have. Don't let the naysayers worry you.
