    "Paranoia runs deep........"
    ID
    Take a deep breath

    I for the most part have been a lurker for the most part.....lol.  There have been times when I have read some things that have been posted and wondered about the poster's state of mind, but for the most part I take what I want to take and I let go of the crap.  I have made a decision NOT to read the political part of this board.  I do read an occasional Gab posting.  I check out the company boards mostly and occasionally check the Job Seeker's board.  If you feel that you need to leave then I'm sorry to see you go as there needs to be people who are of the mind set to be POSITIVE and RESPECTFUL of others on this board.  If you leave then that is one less person.  So I hope you stick around and simply do what I do:  Let one eyebrow go up and then say hmmmmm.  Unhappy people do unhappy things.


    I only got a week of training before going in the deep

    Not paranoia, has happened to me also
    During the process, just so complimentary, so great to have you on board... after hire,  treated like an unwanted stepchild... and degraded on the smallest of errors... think it is a regular routine.
    Your paranoia is almost comical
    Just because everyone doesn't share your sudden onset of TT 'OMG-the-sky-is-faling-cuz-I-have-to-learn-something-new!'vilification does not mean they are management 'plants.'

    Geez, you people never cease to amaze me. Not enough praise for the company a week ago, now nothing but spewing hatred and negativity and dreaming up conspiracy plots.

    I hope everyone reading this thread doesn't assume all TT employees are nutters.

    Instead of spending all of the time you COULD be spending learning VR on here whining, if you're this unhappy, at least be PROACTIVE and send out resumes or something. If you're no longer happy at TT because you now have to learn VR, then apply elsewhere. There's plenty of listings on the job board.

    Just astounded at the paranoia and ugliness in this thread...
    Paranoia is my middle name...
    I don't work for the company you're talking about, but in addition to Tech Support Guy's very valuable advice down below, I would add this thought:

    If you are working as an independent contractor on equipment that you provide yourself, I would strongly encourage you to perform your WORK ONLY on a separate computer from your personal activities - emailing, websurfing, gaming, Netflix, whatever.

    This will actually serve 2 very useful purposes:

    1) You won't have to worry about accidentally wiping out your work computer (and means to earn your living) with a random virus caught via email.

    2) You won't have to worry about your general contractor snooping around on your personal computer - they won't have access to it in any way, shape or form to start with!

    Wal-Mart, Target, and other places are selling small netbook computers that still run Windows XP on them for under $400, and in some cases under $250. You can hook one of those up to a full size keyboard, and even a full size monitor if you can't work with an 8.9' screen.

    Isn't peace of mind worth less than $400?
    I don't understand the paranoia

    Axolotl MT -- take a deep breath and re-read . . .
    Wandering MT's post. You were a little harsh. Why did you feel the need to rub it in her face that she didn't pass the preemployment test? I mean really, I'm sure that stings bad enough without you bringing it up again. I interviewed with Axolotl back August. They sounded great, but I decided to accept a job elsewhere.

    Honestly if everyone there is as high and mighty as you come off, I'm glad I decided to go elsewhere!!
    Here's something to raise your paranoia level even more... SM
    How do you know that *spyware* hasn't ALREADY been sneaked into your PC when you installed WordScript or ROD for the first time? How do you know what really happens whenever you update your platform???


    If Acusis -- or ANY OTHER MTSO -- wants to spy on you, they've already put the mechanism in place.

    Here's a thought: Don't be doing something you're not supposed to be doing in the FIRST place and you won't have to worry about getting caught. If you're not doing anything wrong, not breaking any laws, not breaking the terms of your contract, you don't have anything to worry about. Duh.
    My goodness, your ignorance and paranoia

    are showing. Maybe you should just sit in your chair and do your job and not speculate about things you know nothing about honey.


    Either that, or some bigwig within the company is in knee-deep with AAMT.

    XQ'ers - that does explain the gross paranoia.

    SW runs out of work
    SW MQ office does run out of work.  Rarely but it does.
    DSG runs out of work a lot...
    nm
    That runs in cycles
    Hospital can't find transcriptionists, don't want to pay benefits, don't want to buy the equipment or want to use the space for something that pays and then they outsource.  After they outsource for awhile, they don't like the quality of the work, don't like the turnaround time, don't save as much as they thought they would or can't verify the bill and then they bring it back in house.  After awhile, they can't find transcriptionists, etc, etc and so forth.
    Could you tell me how much your insurance runs for family?
    Thanks..
    It's all the same thing. Alex that runs MDI-FL also
    Even though Larry is in charge, it appears to be by title only because even he defers the final say to Alex.  So anything done at Transcend has to have the final stamp of approval of Alex, who also has the final stamp of approval at MDI-FL
    Spheris never runs out of work
    I have never run out of work working for Spheris.
    the company that runs 3 to 5 ads a week.

    Platform runs too slow for my expander

    Spell checker you have to provide.  Management - I experienced two good team leads, neither of whom are there anymore, other than that, not impressed.  Have had situations where what I earned did not match what I was paid.   Last team lead I had had a problem with being rude and expecting everone to drop their previously scheduled lives for her, while she was virtually unreachable to us otherwise.  They do something every year and can a bunch of editors or MTs, bizarre yearly ritual.  Perhaps things will be different now, perhaps not.  Good luck either way!


    Anyone know the gal who runs Professional Dictation in Alpharetta GA?
    I used to work with her way back, and we have lost touch many years ago.  She probably would not even remember me, but I've often wondered how she is doing.  It's been far too long and too much water under the bridge to try to contact her again, but I was just wondering if anyone knows of her.....
    Is this company in Florida that runs out of work? I think we must have the same job LOL
    Heaven help us.. I cant have anymore down time.. I'm starving here..
    Another law school graduate who studied law through CSI re-runs...
