That bears repeating...'Loyalty won't pay your bills."

Such a simple words, but when put together like that they just make so much darned sense.  Head 'em up and move 'em out.  Lots better pasture out there.

Have kids, work early mornings and evenings on the weekends and still get to spend time with them.  During the week early mornings, 5 hours while they are in school, then again after they are in bed.  You do what you have to in this economy - and really at all times.  Never did work 9-5 on M-F. 

This is healthcare. Most of us work with hospital accounts and the hospitals are open 24/7.  Shifts at the hospital are 7-3:30, 3 - 11:30, 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.  Don't see very many 9-5 M-F shifts there, do ya? 

While it is totally ridiculous, unnecessary and downright illegal for her to micromanage ICs like this, the main cause of the problem is that other ICs are jumping to her call, tolerating and enabling her behavior.  Obviously, the only cure for this type of control over ICs is for ICs to stand up and refuse to tolerate it any longer.  It seems that the only choice you really have is to tolerate it or find another position. 

Again, the real source of the problem here is the other ICs who are allowing her to treat them as employees.  You shouldn't feel obligated to respond.  However, if other ICs are jumping to her call and running the account out, you are stuck if the account dries up and work is not available during the hours that you chose to work.  If it is possible to report her anonymously, I'd say go for it; however, reporting her may not actually change her behavior.

I started screening my phone calls because bill collectors are calling now.  Work for a national that overhires with absolutely no work for months now, started a pilot program sending work to India, and only pays 1/2 the regular line rate for crummy VR editing.

entities scooping my last job. But hey, attorneys make loads of moolah. Honestly, you couldn't pay me enough to defend or provide services. I'd rather be poor.

Well just quit ATT for phone and internet went back to cable and started using MagicJack which supposedly is $20.00 per year for longdistance and local along with free 911.  Been on the MagicJack for about three weeks, hopefully this will be cheaper and if I get another job somewhere I can use this without having to have a land line

Seems to depend on who you talk to.  I have been with Edix/Spheris for 5 years now, no real problems other than a couple of supervisors that weren't very nice, but I went off those accounts and everything is fine.  Our medical insurance has gone from pretty good to flat out crap and I think a lot of people have left because of it, but as far as the company they aren't that bad.  They always pay on time, I have never had trouble taking vacation or time off.  I would recommend them if you have another source for insurance. And let me reassure you, I am just a MT, not in management, not in recruiting.

air conditioning bill, heating bills, phone bills, provide computer equipment and high speed internet, etc., etc.

The office staff get their utilities bill paid for while they work!  Maybe they should split the office utility bills among themselves and get a feel of what it is like to be an at-home MT. 

Transtech, I do thank you for my paycheck in order to pay all those bills, but we seem to be so underappreciated and are offered less benefits because we work at home -- as compared to the office staff.  I thank God every day that He has provided for me another year. 

Transtech, please show the number of lines we transcribe on our paycheck stubs so that we have something to compare to and can look at.  This is the first company that I have ever seen that does not show the MT the number of lines on the paycheck stub.  We have been promised that many months ago, but it has never come to fruition with the new payroll company you hired.

Thank you, Transtech office staff, for being the friendly people you are.

All I'm finding is H.R. 1653 is a bill that has to do with the inclusion of abstinence teaching in federally funded sex education programs.  And S. 810 has to do with obtaining federal grant money for scientific research.  See below for description and links to these bills.

S. 810

'A bill to establish a laboratory science pilot program at the National Science

I have figured out a way to pay my bills with such **old, wornout** words.

Management is rocking alright, because their paychecks are not affected at all with the NO WORK/LOW WORK situation that has been going on now for MONTHS and MONTHS.  That seems so unfair when without the MT's, the mgmt would have no paychecks!!!!!
