Speaking of Dell, isn't it ironic that s/m

the first time you call to place an order, you speak with a pleasant, articulate American, but any call after that goes straight to India?

The last time I called Dell, there was such a communication breakdown that I demanded to speak with an American.

and it's not a bank thing.  Don't forget it's done in INDIA.  2 p.m. there is already our following day   You must be very special and I hope they pay your well to come and post what a great company they are.  Great is not the word I'd use. 

they boast about how the person in charge of this venture is sooo reputuable and then have have this drastic need to hair a lot of MTs on a venture that is still up in the air posted by the VP of the company (dependent on whether or not they GET the number of MTs to commit to their new unsecured Dictiphone venture)??

things that make you go hmmm?  Sounds like a lot of of wind being passed...

Hope you get your check sooner rather than later.  Only time this happened to me, I quit working the *day* payment was supposed to be received, wanted a few weeks, got the check and let them know I wasn't into being played and did no further work.  No pay..no production.  Period.

Larry is their quasi-retired delivery person...see link...had to have been posted by someone from MS.

salary, perks and bonuses make yours look *cheesy* also. 

and I can see how that can get to be a problem.  I have experienced that before, where an MT will just figure I'll know what it is right away, so why waste HER time looking it up (one actually said that to me - ACK!)

But so far what has worked for me is being downright snobbish about who I have working for me.  Fortunately I worked with several really excellent MTs before I became an MTSO, so once I started getting accounts I hand picked the best of the best.  I pay them well, but I expect them to be so good that really I don't even need to proof their work; I trust them that much.  They will occasionally have a question or ask me to listen to something, but that's pretty rare.

Now when I get to the point that I need more MTs, and I may need to coming up in a month or so as I may be adding a big account, then I am going to run out out of good MTs that I know...so I will be in the same boat.

I think most of the national companies require 98% on quality checks.

One thing you might do is offer an incentive - review their work for a period of time and pay one amount for MTs whose work you don't really have to check, and then a graduated scale from there.  Those whose work has to be gone over with a fine toothed comb shouldn't make as much, as you are spending your valuable time proofing their reports.  Those who are worth their salt will step up to the plate.

and click on either desktop or laptop, on the far right side of the screen is an icon asking if you are looking for XP.  If you click on that, it takes you to a screen offering XP on the same machines that show Vista, and the price looks comparable.  I have not gone any further, as I am not looking yet, but it does look as though XP is offered at a reasonable price through Dell.  If anyone else knows any more, please let me know.  TIA.

We need more people like you who will champion us. 

when paying self-employment tax, does that include unemployment taxes?  I was thinking of filing since it looks like finding another job may take a long time. 

Can someone tell me how they would handle a situation in which the TASP you are typing on is also an MTSO. I was told initially they were not a transcription company, and later found out (thank you internet) they are indeed.  I would like to keep competition close, but that is pushing it.

This may belong on the Gab board or political board, but since you mentioned Ron Paul, we got some literature on him during a parade last month. I like what I read so far!

Paul Honored as Taxpayers' Friend for Tenth Consecutive Year

Anybody know more about him?

in the past, they had cheerleaders who came to this board who would attack people who gave true information regarding the company.  It may look like the archives have little information and the reason they do is because a lot of the posts about DR have been deleted because the threads degenerated into name-calling.

The same people who attacked still work for the company (management), so I wouldn't bet that things have changed there.

on an internet forum. Your posts are all over these boards, between MQ board and company board.  I stand by my statement. Your dialect, writing style, is NOT American.  I could care less what your ethnicity is, but you are pro-Indian ownership of MQ and criticizing us for our feelings.  You speak, or write, with an Indian dialect. Believe me, Americans can pick it up even in the written word.  I could copy and paste posts from MQ board, but the ones from this thread alone suffice:  I am quoting you:

We have not to forget that all these people who perform the outscourced work are all bilingual!
By not accepting to work for a foreign employer, you shoot youtself into your foot;
Mexican do the work US citizen do not want to do,

Your written dialect is Indian, not sure which region, but I know it is Indian dialect. Americans would not say shoot yourself into your foot, or we have not to forget...its a dead give-away, and easily picked up by readers. 

You also don't get the humor of a thread on the MQ board. You just have a different interpretation of our written language, and probably spoken.  Same exact way that I would have trouble with your native tongue, written or spoken.  So, you are going to be supportive and more trusting of employers being of your own nationality. No big deal, just pointing this out.  All is fair in debate, but for you to bash and belittle we Americans for not being willing to be employed by a foreign agency is not fair, when you are of the same national origin.

to your supervisor before?  Are you saying that you've been sitting there feeling bad about your financial situation all this time and just today decided to call and DO something about it?

I think maybe the Grinchy bully (and I am not serious when I say that, I feel he/she was truly helping you) motivated you to take some action.
