I see no problem with yawning dictators. I'm sure if I
worked a 16-hour day, I'd be yawning too.
yawning is a natural function but
so is flatulence. You don't mind if people and/or doctors do that right in your face without apologizing? Tired, bean-filled, or what not.
Maybe they're yawning for other reasons
Maybe they were up all night on the internet, or having an extramarital affair, or just have insomnia - as you say, they are only human.
What would you think of a teacher who yawned through a sentence while they were teaching your kid? Or, speaking to you in a parent-teacher conference?
I can ignore the snot sucking, yawning, belching, etc, but
when they will barely open their mouths to form words, and it all sounds like incoherent blubbering, which of course is exacerbated by their flat monotone. The next on the list of annoyances are those that continually change the way they want the sentence to read but never give any indication of it by saying, strike that or sorry, change that to... They just keep on talking creating a sentence that makes absolutely no sense, and I'm sitting there wondering what exactly it is they want to say. Time to shine up my crystal ball.
E-Dictate...sm
Anyone have info regarding this company?
ALL those who dictate
should be informed that their transcription will only be as good as their dictation! I'm also tired of listening to dictators who sound as if they're speaking underwater or with their mouth stuffed with cotton!
I just leave more blanks now than I did as I'm just tired of having to spend time trying to figure out their mumblings.
I do some NPs who dictate for doctors
Just seem to have a little trouble pronouncing some words..It's kinda funny, but I always know what they are trying to say.
Not trying to dictate what is posted..
This is a forum where people come to get answers and share information. Most people know that there are archives...no need to post that to every question.
You tell the OP to do their research...that is exactly what they are doing by posting a question here. If you can't answer the question that the person has asked (other than with a snide remark), why post at all?
As an IC, an MTSO cannot dictate your
hours or production. However, if you signed a contract for a specific amount of lines, they can hold you to that. However, legally they cannot hold you to specific hours UNLESS you tell them specific times you will be working.
An IC means the freedom to set your hours. Where I work, I let them know when I can work and how much work I can take. All I have to do is have it in by a certain time the next day. I can work at 4 p.m. or 2 a.m., whatever I want.
A company cannot dictate your hours if
you are an IC. If you are an employee, they can!
As a true IC, an employer cannot dictate
your hours, you decide when you work. However, they have the right to terminate anyone who they think is not working out to what they need. They can request you work, but they cannot force an IC to work.
An MTSO cannot dictate the hours you
work or hte amount; however, they can stimulate that the only hours work is available is such and such, so if you want to work for them, that is when you work. It is your choice.
There is nothing wrong with an IC committed to a specific set of hours. It is their choice of when to work and they want to work M-F, 10 to 6, and tell the MTSO that, that the MTSO will expect them to work unless they are notified otherwise--there is nothing wrong with the MTSO expecting the IC to work when they say they will.
What do you mean the president is going to dictate how transcription gets done?
I don't think the President has any feelings whatsoever in how transcription gets done. His idea is to go to EMR - that has nothing to do with not having transcription - that has to do with the way the transcription is stored - electronically, not paper.
I worked for a hospital that has had EMR for years now and believe me, we had more transcription waiting on us every day than we could possibly do.
Anybody ever heard of a company called E-Dictate? (sm)
If so, are they good, bad, or somewhere in between? How are they to work for?
Anyone else lucky enough to have all nurses dictate for doctors?
I just started a new account and can hardly believe my good fortune--all nonESL nurses dictating for the doctors for a specialty clinic. What a joy after the last account I had!
Split shifts are allowed. You can dictate your
shift within a Tu-Sa, or Sun-Thurs schedule.
I say you need to do away with everything in your sentence after
the word UP. These companies know it is hard work and you don't save any time if you are an MT and they are selling it to the MTs like their job is just to fix the transcription. IF ONLY that were true. In many cases you have to take out the entire transcription and retype it. The companies know this unless they did not test it first. The poor MTs or editors do not know thisSad
LOL at your last sentence. nm
x
that was said in just about every sentence, to those
nm
Your first sentence says it all.sm
Most likely, both The bottom line with this UNDER 40 HOURS paranoia seems to be that, with the combination of no-money VR and straight dictation that is virtually impossible to understand, the MTSOs know that to reach their required daily/weekly line counts that we have to work over 40 hours a week to do so - no way around it.
Therein lies their dilemma: They know we have to work twice the hours to make our lines, but they can't acknowledge it without getting into deep doodoo. They're handing us a double-edged sword.
LOL well I screwed up that sentence but you know what I mean nm
xx
With regard to your last sentence (sm)
I bet I can guess who is the scammer and who you are working for now. You are right on both counts - 
sentence structure? perhaps
nm
Finish sentence below
So, if you did 100% ESLs yourself the past 5 days let me know and I will gladly retract the statement. If you did not then why did you not help, and get over having to do the easier work? Just tell me that you helped out with the tough ones and I will retract and assume that there are more ESLs here than I was told.
Also, I will GET OVER IT when I am actually assigned the WORK TYPE I was hired for. What was that you said... GET OVER HAVING TO DO WHAT YOU WERE NOT HIRED FOR? Oh yeah, I forgot Bait and switch is the norm these days. IMHO.
please correct your sentence above
.
Spaces after sentence
I don't work there but am considering applying, so I called and asked them about this. Jason said a QA person told him to check the settings in Word & make sure that the problem is not there.
I think that sentence applies here -
you know, the one they use when they don't want to come right out and say you're terminal:
DON'T BUY ANY GREEN BANANAS!
That's an impressively long sentence!
nm
2 spaces between sentence; add headings when possible;
nm
Doctors would be okay if you corrected your sentence LOL

Commas aren't put in a sentence just for sm
the fun of it. They're there to clarify meaning. A misplaced comma can change the whole intended meaning of the sentence.
Remember, too, you should be following client specs, right or wrong, over BOS. When there are no client preferences, BOS rules. You must do it the client's way as they're the ones paying for your services.
If you truly think it's a personality clash with the QA person, then go over his/her head. Some QA people have no right QA-ing.
One time years ago I was marked wrong for Groshong catheter because the QA person had never heard of it. (She was the owner's relative and did not have that position for very long!)
I hope this problem resolves for you soon. Keep a cool head and try to work things out in a professional, gracious way. Professionalism carries a lot of weight.
Correction to last sentence of my post...sm
It should have read:
Doing so makes you as unethical as the accusations being made.
Should be too! Went to continue the sentence and didn't.
I hate when I am rushing and can't correct my mistake fast enough before I hit the send button! LOL
sorry "most" of the time - dropped my sentence. nm
nm
PS: In fact, read the 1st sentence, last paragraph: sm
It says that is my take on everything. It wasn't meant to be viewed as carved in stone.
Maybe you should learn to read - like the entire sentence!
nm
Meant employee and not employers in the second sentence
nn
Hey Princess, you never start a sentence with the word "but"
NM
I agree. You still have to know punctuation, proper English, tenses, sentence structure, etc. Show
