have been protected from the realities of the world for decades now.  I have contact with them daily-you should hear them cry and complain over having to pay $4 a pay period to cover their family's health insurance.  Co-pay for a Rx went up from $2 to $5?  Oh, the complaining about what a raw deal they get.

These people all have cottages to summer in, multiple vehicles for business, leisure and sports and the rest of us have slaved.  No company EVER promised to take care of its employees for life.  We MTs have known that for years and now these people also can find this out.

Retirement is not coming fast enough. 

Now I get to pay for faster internet, new programs, down time to learn new programs, either invest in a new computer or pay to lease their computer ($50/mo).....just to get to make less money while I try to learn their new system.

I have freakin lost my mind. 

I thought it was bad enough that I never ever saw a raise while working for them.  That should have been the big SIGN!  but no....I stayed and now I get to do the ultimate slap in the face..........I get to pay Medquist to get to work for them.

A NEW LOW IN THE AMERICAN WORK PLACE.

Is there a way to keep the first letter becoming a capital when using an Expander after an abbreviation with a period?

Example:  1 tablet p.o. (and then when type bidx, expands to Twice a day, with a capital T because of period after the o.).  It seems I spend quite a bit of time fixing this type of thing.

Thanks for you help!

I have been hired at a company that uses Word auto-correct.  I have thousands of expansions in DocQScribe aco.user file.  I have found the file in my computer and brought it up on notepad.  Anybody able to have this imported to auto-correct?  I called the company support and they said it is doubful.  This may be a deal killer as it would take hundreds of hours to start from scratch.  Thanks for your time.

frequent this board. How is pay, benefits, work load. Still owned by Tampa couple?

You just summed that up for me.  I am glad you told the truth in that you like using slaves to transcribe who are none the wiser. 

As an IC, I choose my own hours, days, lines, etc.  You as an MTSO consider that whining, when it is the law. 

So if you sleep at night knowing you are abusing and mistreating offshore workers, then good for you!  It actually just proves you have no heart.

Another point I'd like to make is that if you need subs to make you money, you must be a horrible Transcriptionist yourself. 

Any doctor that old me he doesn't care who types, when, and how would be off of my list of good doctors and I wouldn't waste my time.  That doctor obviously doesn't care about people but only his own pocket and that would include you as the MTSO.  That same doctor that told you he/she doesn't care will drop you as an MTSO in a minute when he/she finds a better deal.

Always remember, we reap what we sow.  Try and have a good day, master!

I've heard nice things, read nice things.  Do you like working here?  Do you enjoy the work?  Set your own hours and workload?

TIA!
