a neurosurgeon. Shame on you!! Janitor is derogatory - custodian is respectful and also the politically-correct term these days!

Praying most certainly DOES put food on the table! I am extremely offended by your post.

I didn't imply
Nobody is saying that there is anything wrong with the requirement. I am simply stating that I don't meet that requirement, thus my question regarding companies other than theirs. I'm sure 'their work' is no different than the work anywhere else. Since you are pointing out the fact that their work requires such a requirement...can you please advise what makes their accounts so different than the accounts at any other MTSO?
If you are as good as you imply, you should SM
have 5-10 offers on the table for your services already. If you haven't figured out yet, the days of quitting one company and working for another a week later are gone. There is a glut of unemployed transcriptionists out there and the companies are taking their time about hiring now.
Did not mean to imply YOU were complaining. I too read below.

I didn't mean to imply you were not taking it seriously.

Well, I really wasn't meaning to imply that something ... SM
was wrong with the line counts. Just for some reason, I have a very difficult time making my lines. Yes, what I am typing for the day definitely has something to do with it. I feel that the fact that I get reports from 2 different accounts mixed in with each other also is not conducive to speed. But I really brought this up, just kind of thinking out loud, that I wonder if the fact that it is a good company outweighs the fact that I am not making any money! That's what I'm trying to resolve in my own mind.
I would consider it rude to imply my house...
and I are somehow substandard because I used a term incorrectly. Swearing is not the only way to be rude on a board, you can, for example, use the phrase Comprende!?! to make someone feel less than adequate.
There is no need to apologize for your mistakes. I only point them out because you are not getting the connection that if it were based on your spelling and grammar, you are also not presenting yourself in the best light. This makes the above rude accusation applicable to you, as well. I am sure the implication does not make you feel good.
I always think that the topic of my e-mail must imply that I am incredibly stupid

Not offended
Just do not know what original post was in regards to.
you should be offended
Just because your white ancestors had a heart does not negate or excuse what has happened to your native ancestors. Do you speak for all native persons? Do you have to be a native person in order for that remark is offensive to you?
Indian giver (or Indian gift) is a North American English expression used to describe a person who gives something and later wants it back, or something equivalent in return.
The term Indian gift was first referenced in 1765 by Thomas Hutchinson,[1] and Indian giver was first cited in John Russell Bartlett's Dictionary of Americanisms (1860)[2] as Indian giver. When an Indian gives any thing, he expects to receive an equivalent, or to have his gift returned.
The phrase is considered a racial stereotype and is often offensive, as it implies that Native Americans commonly practiced this behavior.
I would have been very offended if I had been
asked if I NEEDED 3 days as well. It's almost as if they are asking if it's really that bad and are you sure you can't come back sooner!! I have never worked for a company that treated their employees like that. In the past when we've had deaths in the family (brother-in-law and both sets of parents)I was always told to take as much time as I needed and not to worry about a thing. Hubby on the other hand had to bring the little folder they print out and give to everyone at the funeral even for his OWN parent's funerals to prove he had been there all because some people in his company had taken time off supposedly for bereavement and didn't have anyone die.
Re above. Sorry to offended MT, but OP is prime

I was not offended by the comment
I have a child who stutters, and I know the problems faced with that difficulty. For her it hasn't been a disability so much  I have had stuttering dictators. Some were great - one I had on a clinic I LOVED b/c he took his time and didn't get rushed. However, I have one on my account now who slurs, whispers, never corrects and is nearly impossible to understand. I know there are issues w/ stuttering and I admire those who have overcome them to become doctors. However, I don't think that gives them any more leeway to be bad dictators than those who don't stutter. As far as being offended, I wasn't - i totally understand the frustration!
I'm more offended by the typos in the ad. nm
No Im not offended at all. Just dont want to start a war
/
I wasn't offended, please do not feel bad. sm
I rarely post here because of the nay-sayers and bashers and get a little defensive when I think someone is about to react that way.
If I were you, I would go to the lead directly and ask if you can either go to another ER account or work with you on this. Not every account is for every MT and vice versa. There is a perfect fit for everyone, and Keystrokes works with everyone to find it. Also, I heard there is another ER account about to start, might get your name on their list if you want!
I was not offended or feeling superior.
you meant by your question? Did you mean that you did not know what MTIA was and were asking if DSG made up an organization or if you meant that DSG was pretending to be a member of MTIA and intentionally misdirected people to a different website? Or did you mean something else entirely? Without knowing what you meant by the use of is it a scam, it was difficult to formulate an appropriate response. I am sorry if my reply made you feel inferior. That was not at all my intent, I was simply asking for clarification so as to better address the inquiry.
It is far more likely that whoever designed the website used MTIA.org instead of MTIA.com when creating the link, which I am sure you could have figured out for yourself.
I'm offended by the Rude TUDE
of the individual posting it. Just doesn't sound like a professional first class operation. Sounds low class, cuthroat and sends out red flags. Danger Will Robinson! Payment might be an issue.
I'm sure Anne, Sue and Mary are very offended by your comments...NOT!

I am offended by your "nonsense about no work" comment.
I have been with MDI for many years and very much like this company, but the workload on my accounts has been very slow for several months now, and I have multiple accounts. I have not had a full paycheck for months and I work all hours of the day and night, so it is certainly not no work nonsense for me. I am hanging in there because I really like this company, and the workload will surely pick up again after the summer vacations, at least I sure hope so. I can't ever remember such a slow summer, and I am not sure if there is a lack of work or too many people trying to cover it, but there has definitely been a work shortage for quite awhile. This may not be true for all the accounts, may only be on certain accounts, I do not know, I just know that has been my experience, as well as some other MTs I am in contact with. So to when we're out here struggling, for you to say it is nonsense and you smell a troll, especially being fairly new to the company, is really lousy, IMO.
Not being in the 'inner elite circle' I used to be offended
because they were always posting about so-and-so making a kazillion lines and how happy and wonderful for them, and on and on - yeah right, while I would be sitting there struggling with the really bad dictators, losing hundreds of dollars a month doing VR - not even able to make my minimum.
People should not be forced to be social on the job. If you had a private site somewhere for those who do then you would not be offending anyone. Then you could all go warm and fuzzy over each other.
This business is cut-throat in reality, and it seems to me there are always a certain group of MTs who get all the good meaty work, but you always have the people to clean up the garbage.
Not nice to have it thrown in your face.
And she actually seemed offended when I politely declined...geeeesh! nm

The people at CardioScribes called us transcribers. I wasn't offended, sm
but I always thought a transcriber was the piece of equipment on my desk. The other poster is right, though -- better than typist .. UGH.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

You are not allowed to post their link on this site. Post

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site. There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry. For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

No, after I read a followup yesterday that said there were apologies and answered Michelle, I realized that and someone said to just get back to work and they were right.. even an apology was too much, plus it would look like I was just tagging along after JMO, which is what you are accusing me of now.
I just didn't understand where the posts went, it was odd, and I wanted to reiterate some things (the point I mentioned earlier, about seeing BOTH sides), but I see it really doesn't matter WHAT I say, you've already made up your mind about me and my motivations without even knowing me. Why am I explaining myself to you? I dunno.
It doesn't matter. Good luck to you and don't worry, God will take care of/deal with me, and I ask him to bless you all too.:)
TO POST ABOVE, AT MQ 6 YRS....sm
Would you please e-mail me at jcarros213@aol.com. I "really" need information.
TIA
This post should have gone under OP.

WHY DOES MY POST
On Greenlight Transcription keep getting erased?! 
WHY DOES MY POST??
mine got erased too..I asked a question about eTransPlus and now it's gone???
Above post
Oh my.....I didn't know Wal-Mart had "greaters". I thought they were greeters! I am sure they are hiring though so you should do well there.
Why don't you sign your posts? Are you also the one that said SoftScript is the worst? Wow....there a lot of worsts out there. Guess we will all starve.
Will you post when you do?
Are you a SS transcriptionist? Will you post your acknowledgement of e-mail?
It gives YOU something to post about right?!
What else would you post about?! LOL
I like your post!!

To Can't Say: Regarding your post below about
Can you say which recruiter told you that Transcend was buying MQ?
Where did you see this post?
asdf
If you post their name they probably won't get any
resumes. This way they'll probably get a few, but hopefully the MTs will be wise enough to turn them down.
Another good reason not to respond to a blind ad is that it could be the company you are currently working for - or you were working for (LOL).
