    No WAY you are a dummy!
    No WAY you are a dummy! You have a moral code regarding your work and that is how it should be. I think it USED to be this way, but anymore it seems like it gets easier and easier for some MTs to tell a white lie (although I don't think it's a small lie and it certainly is not honorable) but people do it! I also wonder if it gets easier and easier for some people to lie about their experience because they never actually meet their interviewer (or their cherrypicking coworkers) face to face, they don't have to look them in the eye and probably practice the part of an inexperienced MT the way an actor studies his lines and they laugh all the way to the bank. The more a person tells the same lies over and over the less it probably bothers them.

    What the heck, I feel like a number these days anyway, and am pretty much treated like a number--I have an MT ID#, my worth to them is based on the lines I produce and how fast I turnaround a report.

    I wish I would have known then what I know now... I never ever would have gotten into this line of work. L

    Because they know some dummy will agree to work for it. nm

    excuse my TYPO - oh boy - i'm a dummy!

    momma didn't raise no dummy!
    ...the KY version. :-)

    Actually, as often as I've gotten the shaft from companies, maybe she did! lol Had to come up with the list in self-defense!

    Thanks. Feel free to use at will. Hate the idea of the companies taking advantage of what wasn't asked in the interview. Grrrrr!
    Here is the dummy office manager's verbatim response
    The allogations you just made are unbelievable. I want to see the information you have as proof. Please call me tomorrow morning at 739-7500. Can you be at PROSC at 10am with your unaltered reports?


    Did she drink on the job? How do
    you know she's a drunk?  I see you haven't posted any answers to questions or comments.  Whoever she is must have said the honest truth ------ drunk or no drunk.  You're cruel.  Wish I knew what posting you are referring to.  I would E-mail the MT and find out what company you work for.
    ooh.. I would take that massage and drink
    x
    I'll drink to that
    :)
    thank you, XanaX
    I have decided not to take that job.  Maybe it's time to get out of MTing altogether as all the companies nowadays seem to be disreputable.  Is there no company out there like it used to be????
    Take your Xanax
    First off I stated I do not read these boards but about once a month, and only then new posts, recent stuff going on. Again, sorry I did not pick the exact day this company had bad posts. What I did state was that I was looking around and found this site advertised in my local paper, and then I said I had no interest in the company for myself (which was because they only seemed interested in training newbies). I only passed on the info to the newbies on this board to be HELPFUL. THEY are totally responsible for doing their own research/homework on any company listed on this board, not me. That probably means searching the archives, checking BBB, etc. I do NOT do homework for others, I only put out the possible lead. If I were to do this for everyone before I post, I would have a business of my own wouldn't I?? I am in no way recommending this company. Show me where I was doing that in my post. Bottom line, I have no due diligence to anyone on this board as far as backing up what I post. I openly stated I knew nothing about this company, meaning what? Yep, exactly. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. See if I ever try to pass on any info again, whether helpful or not!

    Actually from your post it sounds as if YOU were scammed by TransSCAM! LOL, sure does since you are so passionate about it. Sorry you were scammed, if you were....
    I drink one just about every day. Helps with periods. sm
    The soy actually makes my periods shorter and less cramps, which is a HUGE deal to me.
    I'm not using them for weight loss, just as a high-protein, low fat meal or snack, especially on days that I do weight training.
    Did you drink your username. MT6pack?..nm
    nm
    prozac is not XanaX

    Thanks for the credit, but there are more than one of us out there who were treated unjustly at FN.  If the truth hurts--- Me think thou doth protest too much.


    I agree with Xanax
    I started work with VTS 2 weeks ago and they have been great. It seems like a very good company to work for. I was off 100% QA in just over a week.
    Why should I take a Xanax in the middle
    of the DAY when I am working?
    Xanax is to be taken before 'crawling' into bed, it makes you fall asleep. Do you still not get it?

    OMG, are you taking Xanax in the middle of the day when you are supposed to MTing? I bet you fall asleep in the middle of the day and then you cannot sleep during the night. Then you take another one, oh me oh my, you do not even follow doctors' instructions.

    And one should definitely NOT DRIVE after having taken XANAX, it makes you drowsy and abstain from alcohol.

    All things you do not know!
    Scary!

    READ THE LABEL ON THE BOTTLE!

    Wow! This is toooooo much!
    You left out *eat a ham sandwich* and *drink a beer*. sm
    (wink) - Gotta have those!
    Xanax - I was told even if I forget to put QA
    hold on, my settings were set to 100% QA. I have not worked for them in about 2 weeks and do not intend to do any more with them, but my friend is still there and V just sent them an note stating that they no longer will be on 100% QA, but she was on for 15 months.
    Good grief, take a Xanax.

    Does WMX still have you "clock out" for every drink of water, snack, or pee break you take? No
    s
    I SO hear you.. I'll contact Ms. Xanax for you.
    .
    Don't think she gets it, she is just so uptight about Xanax...give her a few more years...sm
    then she might actually relax enough to understand when a joke is made and not go off the deep end.  The really sad thing is, this is not the only board she has made the Xanax comments about.  Get real Jan, or maybe it's mar, that's who she reminds me of. 
    I'm beginning to suspect it's the Xanax Express n/m
    x
    From of the tone of these posts, perhaps an early morning drink would be in order. sm

    I'm not saying I do not sympathize with the no-work situation.  I have been gone from TT for almost 2 years now, and it happened back then (without the holiday as an excuse) and will continue to happen will be my prediction.  Being called sweetie and told you rock doesn't butter the bread. 


    You have the right idea, though ... relax, enjoy the holiday.  I plan an afternoon on the patio relaxing with a friend and some margaritas ... hold the omelet and bring on the guacamole. 


    You must be very young and your wish list
    seems very unrealistic. I think a matched 401k is great and something we all need. You seem to want a lot, what are you giving back to the company for all the wishes? A dedicated employee, one who supports the company and doesn't backbite, one who works any and all OT when they need help? Why do MTs feel they deserve anymore than what they agree to when they take a job? I hope you can find all you wish, but I think it's a fantasy in reality.
    You sound really young.
    I can overlook your statements on that account.
    Jan, you sound very, very young. sm
    Also, I didn't know Xanax made people abstain from alcohol. LOL!!!
    I'll place a call to my buddy Ms. XanaX.
    .
    Hun! How young are you. How long you been MT'ing.
    I know it is possible, but I can promise you as the years keeping on passing you will slow down...16-17 hours a day for 6 days a week? What life?
    No, I'm not that young, but I am a newbie. Thank you for the info.
    .
    I beg ur pardon, young lady!
    I was NOT being sarcastic! Medquist truly IS my best company - my previous company paid $9/hr. and at the Q I make $25 - U may open mouth and insert foot now, missy!
    3000 each day? Wish I was young again-LOL - good for you!
    nm
    If they point, I suppose she's young.

    Yeah, and she's probably young and cute too! LOL (nm)

    Grandchildren keep me young. I have had 2 FT this summer (sm)
    and occasional trips to town for teenaged grandson who has stayed at home this summer. Sometimes it is hectic and I feel stressed getting my hours/lines in, but then I take my mother to the Senior Center and watch all those people with so little to occupy their time and I feel really lucky.

    During school year the 2 youngest still catch the bus here and come here after school. I am able to adjust my schedule so I can attend school functions/lunches during the day if their mom can't.

    There may be a lot of problems with MT work anymore, but these are the reasons I and many other stay with it.


    I'm afraid I'm 2 young 4 andropause, missy!

    "making some young white hotshot"

    Wow....and I thought I had issues!    


    I worked for a guy who owned a landscape nursery who was just like that though...He was younger than most everyone there and couldn't have weighed 90 pounds soakin' wet AND he had to look up at all of us (barely made 5 feet!)...it was so hard to keep a straight face when he got all upset and pissy over something.  You'd never see him walking around his domain to keep an eye on things...uh oh.  He'd be tooling around in his Bobcat shouting orders from over a bullhorn.  Oh my god it was a riot! 


    To be fair to the above poster, $11/hour gross is kinda low though, so I can see how someone would be tweeked at that. 


     


    There are young children who have hearing issues
    from babies on up. Why do you think this is age discrimination and why would you say sue?
    I got a travel mug! I work at HOME. I drive 10 miles a week. I don't drink coffee. Sheesh! lo
    nm
    They snowballed you. The owner is a young man who inherited the business. sm
    He has no transcription background, although that does not always matter.

    Most of their accounts are Meditech. They are fairly small, with about 80 MT's.

    No negative feedback on them so far, which is always a plus.
    More elderly would have health problems than young people... sm
    Although anyone can be sick... yes, this slants the bias against older Americans.
