Reminds me...funny

In Reply to: YOG sold out to MQ didn't they??? - Confused
Can't remember why but I declined a job offer from YOG. Think it had something to do with LD charges maybe. The very next week they were sold to MQ. I surely was glad I had declined the offer as I would have gone to a lot of trouble just to end up right back where I started from. LOL

Funny you should bring this up as it reminds
The work was done in Word but I received progress notes where I had to line it up. The office would give me the last progress note, and then I had to add to that so it was just an ongoing chart note for each visit with the new date. In other words, this doc drove me to drink. So, I charged him $5.00 per page. He called me into his office to talk about this, and he said to me: I know I can afford to pay more than $3.00 for a pack of cigarettes, but I won't. He wanted to know why I was charging him so much because I guess he thought his wealth was the reason. Right then and there, I said I can certainly be replaced if you prefer not to pay what my services are worth. AND I NEVER LOOKED BACK. Just thought I'd share...  Come to find out, he still does not have a steady transcriptionist. They are still LOOOOKING. One girl lasted one day, one girl took one tape and never came back.... Need I say more? If that is truly the case that the transcriptionists in another country cannot afford the fee, then Americans should be given the same option since our wages are not what they used to be. Maybe it should be based on income especially since it is such an incentive....  YEAH RIGHT!!! 
This so reminds me of
the years I worked for a group of doctors that really gave nice and very much appreciated bonuses. Those were the days. The docs then moved the practice to a larger office, had a big grand opening for the the healthcare community, catered and pianist and the works. That year we were told our Christmas bonus was to work in such a lovely new office. Couldn't take that to the bank, fellas;-)
Reminds me of I know you are but what am I

She reminds me of the old saying
of not confusing people with facts when their minds are already made up. I do not care about whether she has rugrats or not; they are not my responsibility. However, I do want someone who cares enough to proofread what is basically an on-line resume or query for job. If she doesn't care about that, she will probably be too busy with the rugrats to care about proofing any work she does for me. But I guess that a poor excuse is better than none at all.
reminds of one of the first
doctors I had to transcribe.. in every report she would say Typist, typist! Go back and..... put this in. Take that out.
Reminds me of another MTSO. If I were you, I would
ask the board administrator to remove all your postings
this reminds me of Keystrokes
a while back. This same bantering back and forth. The OP of the MDI-MD posts just asked if others were out of work. The Medquist board has posts like that all of the time, so what makes MDI-MD an exception to this rule where MT's come to ask if others are out of work.
Why come here and say you're out of work just for spite? It makes no sense to me. When this original poster brought up the fact she had no work, no one responded. Why didn't Carlotta respond to her initially with this blurb? Why? Because she didn't know it was here until some MDI MT blabbed. If people would just sit back and take things with a grain of salt, we'd be better off.
By the way, there are lots of questions posted here regarding companies and their workload and the way they treat MTs, so I don't see the big deal or why Carlotta even felt the need to post here the way she did unless she has a guilty feeling about this whole original post from below.
I think that MDI-MD was put up here as one of the better companies and people begging to get in just like Keystrokes was, and now people are finding out that not all companies have that everything. Good luck to all of you, but I'd like to see this thread locked. I think this has gone on long enough.
We will reach our own conclusions as we always do. Peace! 
It reminds me of when I worked there
I remember it was the middle of June and the excuse for no work was *Oh, well, it must be the holiday coming up*! I can laugh about it now, but it made me steam at the time.
P.S. For those of you who still believe that old chestnut it's the holiday, try to remember that maybe a day or two before and a day or two after the holiday is the norm. Any other time, it's called not enough work to go around.
Reminds me of "love the Drake."
Yes it is ridiculous. It kind of reminds me
of the type who would defend Nadya Suleman's selfish irresponsible behavior.
Yes, MTs can and do get written up/terminated for this. It's up to good MTs like us to report it :)
That so reminds me of that movie Outsourcing
Those cheesy gifts that represented America being sold from India, lol!
The monkey thing reminds me of
but not all that funny when we have to pay bills.

& send separate checks for OT after MT reminds them

Reminds me of QT. Same deal, bunch of people SM
from YOG (sorry, but true), went to work there and everyone joined the bandwagon. Then kaput.
I truly wish better for all MTs at TT. Seems like they have a good team to start with.
I'm sure I will get flak for posting this. I wish you all luck. I hope it is the dream come true everyone wants. I wish all MTs well and peace in the world.
Are well all running out of work? Seems late in Jan for that? Overhiring? Reminds me of the Q...
:(
HA! Reminds me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.. remember that ? nm

That is really funny
The majority cannot be wrong. Your first post brought on the reactions of many, all saying the same thing. Your first post was rude. It just was. It sounded hateful. No way that 5 different people read it wrong. Funny how you descend upon the poor OP and basically rip her apart and then call the rest of us vultures. So funny. You are not one to be preaching about attitudes and how we should watch them. Talk to the woman in the mirror first.
OMG HOW FUNNY!!!
NM
it's funny that
the packet states no one will get a pay cut but they gave out pay cuts before people trained on DEP as DEP has only a certain pay level, so they were told. I guess this means no pay cuts with this packet. Pretty smarmy, huh??
too funny
nm
I think it is funny that you all
want to say that JACKO and the others you mentioned are the only rudes ones on this board. Look over the posts. Pretty much everyone here is rude. I've never seen anything like it.
that is funny....unfortunately if they were not that way, I don't many of us would have a job-LOL

Too funny. He gets around. nm

Funny
Please, why is it that if someone has been treated badly and there are issues that that person tries to convey to another for their own warning, why is that a grudge? You watch too much TV!
Too funny.
I have two dried up accounts as well. Yet they are still hiring. Go figure.
lol, and for 8 cpl! Now, that's funny.

Funny
Oh what like I'm scared? Yes M.E. are my initials, you better believe it. Saying liar is not slanderous. Especially since this board makes disclaimers. Funny.
How funny!!!
Was it a lady by the name of Phyllis Tate who contacted you? She is always going on cruises. I turned down that company one week after I started working there. That place is so darn screwed up. Do not consider taking a job whatsoever!!!
THAT WAS FUNNY!
So funny!!  Yes, we know how to focus and concentrate and we know how to DROWN out nonessentials of background noise.
Funny....
I sent a resume to them and one of the questions was how much ESL do I do. I told them over 50% and that was why I was leaving my current job. They emailed me back and said based on my ESL answer, I was not a suitable candidate for their company.
lol that was funny

Mac, you are 2 funny. nm

That's funny...
I don't care who you are!
funny
 And I like your name - Mari Wisely Cute !
LOL! That's funny...nm
This has never happened to me, not once. I have taken many tests and aced them and my email inbox was filled with email offers. I have 20 years experience and told them up front what I made/wanted. I think some MTs just can't face the fact that they failed the test.
TOO FUNNY
Oh, please stop with all the nonsense!! Why do you feel compelled to give out these TIPS? So, nonqualified people can give a false, yet professional-appearing resume and then you can test them and waste your time? Are you crazy? At least you can quickly eliminate those - what does it take 1.5 seconds to look and throw out? Is this your biggest job complaint? Why don't you quit complaining about your job - do you really expect to get all perfect resumes!! Hello - anyone home in there?? I thought evaluating a resume was part of a recruiters job - respond to good ones and don't to the bad ones...you act like you want these folks working at Super Wal-Mart to present a nice resume -Now, why would you desire that?
These jobs are posted on the INTERNET - expect some crazy people !!
P.S. I've had to deal w/a lot of recruiters who need some serious help, but I don't feel compelled to give out any suggestions - they would not listen anyway. Its simple when the company/recruiter is ever rude, unprofessional, unorganized, giving false info - I move on. You get a joke of a resume - move on!!
TOO FUNNY !
SAme thing happened to me ! After I resigned from Focus, It took them a good two weeks afterward to acknowledge my notice of resignation. They are sooooo ignorant and unprofessional !
How funny..
I was paid late. Supposed to have been paid Friday and still waiting.
MOST of the time DD works better than waiting for checks to arrive.
Thats is too funny
Sounds like sour grapes to me.
TOO FUNNY!!!!
Can tell its getting late - but Im right there with ya with the Dippity DOO
Now thats funny:)
Damn if you do and damn if you don't. Post something positive and people try to turn it into a negative. LOL>>>
That's really funny!
So, if something gets rave reviews, it can't possibly be any good? Thanks for giving me a chuckle.
As for me, I personally have experience with both companies, and you couldn't drag me back to MQ if you hitched me to a semi!
Very funny
Not ! You're an idiot. I've seen your name just me with your boasting about another company that is soooo crooked beyond belief!!!! Getting jealous because KS is getting more positive attention are we?
that's funny
because I have worked for Priority Transcription for over 5 years and NEVER had a problem getting paid. I have even received bonuses for meeting TAT! Maybe there was a reason you didn't get paid!!!
Funny how OSI is in bad need of MTs
so one person gets on here with all this crazy talk about how great they are. Anyone who has worked for this company knows what a nasty little place it is. Trust me, OSI has lost all the good ones. The only people there are ones the other companies will not talk to. Just makes ya go hmmmmmm!
That is funny since she is gone and you are not. Be the
s
Funny you should say that (sm)
I have made up my mind to stay off message boards and focus, and I have, but not completely. Still visit occasionally. I had increased production, though. Hmmm. I really was trying to type faster though, so that's probably it.
LOL! Me too. I don't know if that is funny or
xx
Funny....sm
I think Medquist has so much work because most MTs left and went to Transtech and now TransTech hasn't enough work! I know of a few MQ MTs who went to TT... coincidence? The workloads haven't changed, only the MT load.
Wish it wasn't so and sincerely hope TT gets back on even ground, they seem like such a nice company. On the other hand, MQ is getting what they ordered IMHO.
Now THAT is funny!
Funny you should ask...
I don't do anything other than MT from home, but I just saw something on TV last night where a lady has made her own business called The Handwork Studio teaching children how to knit. It looked to me like she sat about 6 children around a table and was teaching them how to knit. I thought what a wonderful idea. So many are looking for things like this for their children for the social interaction. The lady said she is having the time of her life. Do you have a hobby that you could share in regards to teaching a class? Made me wonder....
