The OP apparently has a sense of humor and
apparently has to dealing with MTs all day.
You people are unbelievable but then the moon is getting full and you come out in droves. I like her sense of humor as well as her willingness to help an MT.
I am sure she knows the many personalities of the profession and is not offended which is evidenced by her remarks and good for her because if it were me, I would tell you what you could do with your remarks. Trying to help you say by pointing out what was obviously a transposition, I think not. No one on this board is trying to help unless it was that recruiter. Apparently too many out there with not enough to do.
Well, I am glad someone had the sense to see the humor
xx
Maybe I have a weird sense of humor,
but in my 14+ years as MT, I have never heard the term *offspring* used in a report in this context, always children or kids. I have had many animals over the years and so this is why my first thought was that and it just struck me as amusing (need this ever once in a while to keep me going on days like today...only down to 85 degrees at midnight and no air conditioning). 
I think so. I have lost my sense of humor. I need to get it back. Has anyone found it? sm
I am stressed but I think it will bounce back. Things usually follow a cycle, and this too shall pass.
"Covert operation" - LUV your sense of humor, KittyToes - LOL
Your first line makes no sense.

I will only do VR for the same line rate I get for straight typing. Anything less, they can keep th
nm
Depends on what your line rate is for straight typing.
Plus, if you're a high producer you probably won't be able to double your line count on VR. If you average about 100 to 125 lines per hour, you should have no trouble doubling that or more. It might be worth it then. If you're not getting at least half your line rate for straight typing, it definitely isn't worth it.
So you don't get paid for headers/footers... just a straight 65 character line
How about spaces?
If you don't get paid for H/F, are you given a higher line rate?
I don't see the humor in that at all.
I love comedy, but I don't see the humor in putting something like that on the company board. Get a life!
Yes TT please humor us
We are derogatory about you so please don't be derogatory about us. We love TT!
show me the humor! Show me the humor!
well, blow me down!
I love your humor! nm

We thank thee so much for the humor!
Each post you make gets funnier.
Please do continue enlightening us and humoring us.
I think it was an attempt at humor to lighten up what obviously would be a sm
depressing situation for the employees. I don't work there anymore, but I know I would be devastated if I had to take a drastic cut in my pay. Anyone who tells you that you can do 2-3 times the amount of lines doing VR has to have brown eyes because they are full of it!
LIghten up. I doubt the CEO of TT or anywhere else for that matter gives a hoot what us peons think, do, or say as long as we keep those fingers flying and bring them in an income.
Just my opinion.
Insertion of some humor to lighten the mood.

i agree, poor taste in humor.

Gosh, just trying to insert a little humor. Doncha

I doubt someone who post such gutter humor would

I meant post as just a little lighthearted humor.

WMX-ers, please humor me. Are we seroiusly supposed to make up enough hours sm
to complete the required work week when there is no work? Before everyone jumps on me saying that I am lazy, don't want to work, need to ask for more accounts, etc., give me a break. I am quite new to the company, and I rely on a full-time work week for my benefits for my family. I already have 5 accounts and have asked for more. All are out of work (or so I am told). I have four small children, so working all hours of the night and the wee hours of the morning is not possible on a daily basis (but I am willing to do what I can to get my hours in).
I am asking an honest question here: Is there no leeway at all during the extremely slow holiday months? It is bad enough that I will pull in less money, but even worse that I could lose my benefits. YES I know it is slow at all companies during the holiday season. YES I know I could get a job somewhere else. If a current or past WMX-er could please just give me some insight, I would greatly appreciate it. :-) I got up earlier today to get a jump on things, and I ran out of work earlier! LOL I ran out of work at 10 a.m. (again).
I would not call it sarcasm, it sounds more like 'gallow humor'...nm

Are you gay or an actor or both, Seymour. No offense but I like a little light humor to make me sm
smile on a day when I have hit the bottom of the barrel.
Glad I apparently put so much humor in your life tonight. You're welcome.
If you work for the hospital in my town, you get a RAISE on a regular basis. When did you get your last raise from your MTSO? The hospital furnishes the MT with a new Dell, pays for the virus protection (mine goes up every year - yup, it does), and pays the internet (yuppers, mine goes up every year). Good for you, count yourself lucky, but don't get too comfortable in your Ivory tower. Downsizing, cpl rate cuts, lots of things are coming your way. You just haven't gotten hit yet, but good luck with that attitude of yours.
Please refer to the statements the above poster mentioned about the brown-nosers and such. My post was not intended for you!!! Evidently YOUR company pays you for some of these things, or are you an MTSO, but mine didn't. Work for myself now on local accounts. Got tired of your MTSOs and the little profit I was making.

No advice, but humor.. my girlfiend calls that "the speed of loneliness"

A line is a line is a line. Doesn't matter if we are talking about radiology or acute care.
1600 is not a fair minimum requirement. Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.
Means a line is a line is a line, even if it only has one word on the line
it is considered a line.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

Ah-so! That makes sense.
Hope you get the answers you're looking for--pass along any info if you would, please. I'm interested, too!
Okay..that makes a lot of sense..
Obviously, you are a bit off your rocker.
Would it not make sense that there are
probably a good-size crew getting on in the daytime so any work that is there is quickly dispersed to everyone, bringing the account to current standing? Then, only a few MTs are needed to keep the current dictation caught up.
I'm not agreing with how that is being done ... just trying to help with the question of what is happening. Sounds very logical to me.
Would it not make sense..
That makes perfect sense to me and, in fact, that is what happens with my accounts and has happened for the past 5 years! I do have an account that I do regularly now that I only share with one person but somehow..that gets dropped from my DEP pool every once in a while..hmmm.....wonder how that happens?? Anyway, when I do get on my other accounts that are shared with lots of other MTs, they get caught up quickly!!
Does this make any sense?!
A particular company is now telling its employees that they are considering a pay raise AND dropping their daily line expectation from the current 1000 lines per day.
It is implied that the MTs are expected to work seven days a week because the company is under staffed.
What logic is there to dropping the daily line expectations and giving a raise when the company is under staffed?
Makes sense
Your point is valid! I would take it up with corporate or your supervisor immediately!
Bad Business Sense
What I don't get is where is the logic of hiring someone with less experience and then having to pay a QA person to correct and review the work. It is the same old thing, you get what you pay for! Their loss.
I have common sense thank you
If I didn't, I wouldn't have been able to do transcription for 15 years. All I wanted to know was info on a potential new job switch. I once again apologize. I don't frequent these boards ever and was just directed here by someone else.
What you say makes no sense.
Why would you resent getting more work when you're FT? You make no sense. A PT person isn't going to do as much as a FT person, so I don't get why you'd resent anyone. Why not worry about doing your own work instead of what PT people are doing. Jeez!!
A lot of it is they have an inflated sense SM
of self-importance and their need to have someone fussing over them because it makes them feel like they are getting the personal touch or something like that. It's weird and I only see it in fields where women are predominantly doing the work. Then we have a whole 'nuther bunch who do crap work and think they are excellent transcriptionists.
Oh, that makes more sense.
I'm just an ex-heartlander who was curious. I still have some friends that work there.
Thanks.
Thank you, Kim. That makes sense. sm
I thought it had to do with Direct Deposit. Geez, it's been a loooong day!!!
makes sense

common sense
tells me that my creations of Expanders are my own; the program may belong to the company but i feel i have made them and they belong to me. Granted, legal eagles may have their own angle. However, if i am moving from job to job, i'm not stealing, as i am not taking anything other than the generic word combinations i have created myself, not company secrets etc. Regardless of your opinion, if i have spent 10 years creating a file, and can move it with me, it is going!
HUH....you make no sense
be more specific. if you log off each time your account is out of work, and everyone else did the same, you would have more of your primary.
Wow!!! It's not that difficult. take off your blinders.
k now that makes sense, but..man
I would still hate them to do that, though
Okay, that makes sense(NM)

Makes sense now.

I see. You don't do many LPH. Makes sense.
..
Makes sense
However, I guess everybody doesn't think like you and me. I also think some people have the mind-set that they should be paid the maximum for doing the minimum amount of work.
No sense is right thanks. Sigh. nm

Thank you. That does makes sense. NM
