Please, Carlotta, get off your high horse for a minute.  You know darn well that accounts have been overstaffed in order for MDI to shine for their clients in regard to TATs.  There is a lack of balance going on here whether it is over hiring or something else.  There is NOT ENOUGH WORK!  We have been out of work for WEEKS!  And, Carlotta, you hound the hell out of people and threaten to bring their wages down to an impossibly low rate on a prn basis if they don't live up to their committments in a near-impossible work environment.  You are transcription's version of Hitler.

Did you read any of the posts below?  Did you read some of the concerns that REAL people, VALUABLE transcriptionists are having?  Why don't you or the owner care?  You rule with an iron fist, Carlotta.  When you try to say how great the company is, it's a real slap in the face for those of us who are out here in the trenches trying be a part of the MDI team and very little in return. 

You, MDI, should have an overall feel for the accounts.  No, you cannot predict, but you can give us some insight if accounts may be winding down because they are moving to EMR or changing service providers or whatever.  You could be decent enough to guide us in the right direction so that we could continue to be valuable to MDI and support our families.  No, no, instead we get hounded and threatened about line counts.

Did you read below, Carlotta, how we do go to our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on backup accounts?  Do you comprehend that we have to mentally change gears to relearn account specifics and the dictators and that really slows a person down?  And on top of that, those accounts are SLOW, TOO!

Instead of telling us MDI has the best group of people (management) ever assembled, why don't you listen to the people helping you get your paycheck!  Why don't you prove your greatness by being a better listener.  Do you realize you are impossible to talk to because instead of listening all you do is e-mail responses that are criticizing and demeaning, to those of use who are sincerely trying to work hard for you. 

Come on, please.

My capitalizations are not for yelling, just for emphasis.

Tickle Me Elmo:

      There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys.  The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.

      Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM.

      The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door.  The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee.  He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.

      The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor.  When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up.

      At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's.  She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.  The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.

      The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter.  After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Lena.  I'm sorry, he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday... 

     Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles. 

I better correct my statement before I raked over the coals for a typo by the grammar police.  The platform is great and exceed the line count every pay period. 

It should read The platform is great and I exceed the line count every pay period.

I guess I better get this first cup of coffee down quick!!!
