Dear Whiner...
Just joking :-).

I don't consider you to be whining at all! You're trying to learn and understand, and the only way to do that is by asking questions. I just wish I were better at explaining things. On the contrary, I like your attitude...How do we ever learn anything if we don't ask? I took no offense at all to your post. I think success at VR is largely due to the quality of the dictators as well.

I think if you could have just one day of GOOD dictators on your VR program and could experience the difference with minimal clean-up, you'd be amazed. I've had a few reports come through the chute that practically had to be retyped, and I can't imagine having just about every shift filled with such nightmares.

If you have any other questions, I'm sure those of us doing VR would be more than happy to try to explain anything.

I'm a skinny well-paid whiner and don't use a mouse.

I totally hear what "tired of the whiner's is saying, but
and I might even understand why this has happened, but my question is have you ever sat down all your transcriptionists (conference call) and told them the bottom line? Have you expressed all the above and said if things do not change this is what I will be forced to do, if you want to save your work and keep everying here, you have got to pull your weight, if you do not then this is what I am forced to do, if this has not been done, I do not see that you can justify your actions on outsourcing. Yeah we are big girls and we should know this already, but a little reality check and kick in the butt goes a long way, especially when you are caught up in your own little world in your 4 walls of your home, just a suggestion, I know it would have put more of a fire under me.

Sounded great, but then saw you have to
nm

Unfortunately, no, but they sounded great!

Thank you so much!! It sounded too good to be true! :)

I apologize if I sounded rude to you
It just gets my goat when somebody seems to show a lack of professionalism and others of us work so hard to try and be the best MT we can be, and are working very hard to support our families. The attitude of working whenever I feel like it causes companies to overhire and then the reliable MTs don't have enough work. I am truly not trying to be rude to you and I do apologize if I sound that way, but your attitude is detrimental to the other MTs and also to any company that might hire you. I am sorry, but I still would never hire somebody with that kind of a work ethic.

That was a bizarre post. Sounded like someone
with a vendetta. I haven't seen anything like that at Webmedx. They should go after that poster for libel. Good company.

it sounded pretty snitty to me..sm
and it was the *adding of your stats* that made it sound like you were bragging. Your post didn't sound like it was meant to help, but to criticize and brag about what you can do. That would not instill confidence in anyone who was having a question about their proofing skills. You are lucky to have accounts where you can excel. Unfortunately that is not always the case for others. Some have to struggle to make their lines and if extensive proofing to keep from making mistakes is holding back production, just a simple answer on how she could improve that would have been sufficient. Your post sounded like pouring salt on an open wound. JMO.

Thanks, I thought she sounded familiar. I was with YOG then and now with MQ. SM
It would be so nice to work with YOG people again. I really miss that place. It was sure a lot less stressful back then!

let me rephrase...... sorry if I sounded rude
but it kind of felt like you were implying it is my own fault to not have work right now -- The actual POINT of my original post was that if they want to force us to pick a shift then we should get work during that time and NOT have to work late or all night to get it........

it all sounded great.......until the C-phone part.
I really don't want to get a second phone line.

Good luck to you. Sounds like it is working well for you.

Sorry that was dumb.. current and new..sounded redundant..LOL nm

knew it sounded too good to be true...nm

Agree!! Sounded too good to be true.
You do not get that kind of pay and only require 1 year experience!

Really? I thought it sounded like a good line rate.
nm

Sorry to hear that. I talked with Ann a few times, and it sounded like a good company. nm

Yes I thought it sounded nice. Just hard to change but it is time. Always a little bit of anxiety
about another company and leaving what you know and sort of starting over but sometimes it is time. You know, the fat lady sang.

Oh great. I knew the whole thing sounded familiar....so, everyone is getting the runaround. You eith
Not, the I need to talk to the account managers etc. Now, I'm bummed out. I knew it was too good to be true. I wonder if there is really any work at all.

YIKES... I guess I knew it sounded to good to be true. I wonder if anyone ever gets sign-on bonuses
at any company. Maybe we should take a survey on who actually gets a sign-on bonus. How depressing is that. Now I'm bummed.
