Maggie, your post was a bit harsh. Yes there are those who whine and complain, but a lot comes with experience to include whining and complaining. As well, you really do not know what financial situation an MT may be experiencing. While, I agree with most of what you state, I find that you lack compassion for those who may not have the experience and knowledge that you do. I cannot say enough about the mentors/teachers I have had along the way. I had only one bad experience over the past 16 years working at home as an MT.. I have found work that may not be a good fit for the company or for me, software that is not productive for MTs (which can be cumbersome, time consuming, and frustrating), companies selling to another company, companies going out of business, losing business, etc., etc. I have considered all an experience that has contributed to the work I do. As well, without a doubt, you can have the greatest work ethic, but if your work for someone who does not share the same work ethic, or value the fact that you are generating money for them as well as yourself, what is it truly worth? Be kind, be gentle to those that whine and complain and perhaps your shared experience will provide growth for another MT.

Sorry Wendy I meant to post another Wendy

WHAT A HYPOCRITE YOU ARE WENDY!
How nasty. I didn't start any name calling. You just did. You should practice what you preach. Now, Wendy, go to Wendy's and get a burger and Frosty and chill out.
Well said, Wendy - Bravo
Thanks, Wendy, I never knew that.
Oh, I think Wendy fills in as
an acting manager when it's crazy. But Debbie would be the one for this situation. She and the techs will get you up and running just as soon as they humanly can. They really do need you. :o)
Why Wendy? She is only QA, right? I don't think she has the powers that you giving her.
Debbie or account manager would make more sense to contact -- not a QA person!!!!!!!
Wendy is the QA Manager and I think she is the one who approves all of the
account instructions anyway. I have always found her to be really helpful. I would go with her.
They are so busy! I would shoot Deb or Wendy an email

Thanks Wendy! You've helped alot! (nm)

that was a little harsh
Lots of career moms go to work everyday and place their children in reputable childcare. There are also moms out there who are home all the time with their kids and they'd get better care elsewhere. Perhaps the OP has a supportive family nearby that would be willing to help out.
I think your comments were very judgmental and not helpful at all.
Harsh?
I would never sit around and so ho-hum and it's the fault of the company. What should I have said?
Please. No one needs to sit around in this industry if there are plenty of jobs posted. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, why not find a better job? We're not worth it?
I'm not one to sugar coat. We can't be lazy. We have to look for a better job if there's no work.
That was a little harsh!
I never post on here when someone is being rude to a fellow MT, but I have to put in my 2 cents here. You are right, however, when you say that Christmas bonuses are a thing of the past. I've been in this business for many years, and have seen the decline in pay and respect. I would recommend picking up something part-time to offset the slow times rather than up and quitting. Most of us are in the same boat, and it is being felt everywhere, not just in the MT business. We should be here to encourage one another, not discourage. I, for one, am luckier than some of my friends and family who have been forced out of a job due to downsizing or companies being shut down completely. I wish everyone the best for this holiday season, and to focus on everything there is to be thankful for in this recession!!
Wow, that was harsh
Geesh
Harsh
I am a Synernet employee and found the post to be harsh. I don't see an inner circle, I saw friends and co-workers who supported another in a time of need. I also do not feel like a robot and of step child. I have never been denied time off. I may have had to make up time if it was a busy time of year, but never been denied. Instead of complaining, let's be grateful that (a) you have a job and (b) you are not the person in charge of 90+ transcriptionist, their time off schedules, the system and the one answering emails and phone calls and dealing with MTs issues and customer issues. Discussing MT issues is one thing but attacking a person who lost a loved one is going to far.
Oh, really harsh you say
Direct quote from that post: into an even lower-paid position as a VR editor. In the latter case, the MT's knowledge is devalued even further. I have no problem editing or knowing how people unfamiliar with VR thinks someone right off th street could do. What would be hard about reading along on a report?? I stand behind all I said.
When it's real busy and Deb can't take care of stuff, I think Wendy helps out (she is in offic

sounds harsh, but...
If your work was not up to par in a job setting outside of your home would you be allowed to continue in that position? I really doubt it, at least I have not seen it at any place I ever worked at before I became an MT who worked from home. I am sorry for your situation, but you cannot realistically expect an employer to carry you because of personal issues. They are paying you to work. If your work is not cutting it then they have every right to let you go. Best of luck to you. Hope things turn around soon.
Seems a bit harsh. Obviously, since others have tested with no sm
problem, must be your issue. As I recall, the instructions say to call or email if you have any problems. Perhaps it is you who should READ.
Wow..too harsh for me.. I mean I think I know what the heck I'm doing but maybe I really don't
what the heck I am doing, according to her. This ad is a crackup. Any ideas on who is it?
Wow, that was unnecessarily harsh.
She was just asking a simple question. If all you are going to do is bash the person for asking, don't respond.
Yes, it would be a HIPPA violation if her husband is able to see the patient's information, i.e. name, medical record #, etc.
Sorry you got bashed for asking.
That's not harsh. Some people just
The husband could be a partner. I had my husband do my deliveries when I wasn't allowed to drive after surgery and no one questioned this as a violation. They were glad he did it. And my husband could care less whose names are on those papers; really in all honesty.
Furthermore, who really knows who is sending the work at any given time. There was another poster here that said her nephew delivered tapes to a subcontractor and left in the screen door. I mean come on? Was that a violation? NOT! 
not harsh at all; it's time.

I agree you got some harsh replies.
Not sure why some people feel they need to give a reply when all they wish to express is their own irritability. I'm guessing the tone of their replies has nothing to do with the question. At least, I saw nothing unusual or annoying about your post. But I can't answer your question either.
Okay, don't be harsh, need info on Amphion, sm
saw the posts from below, not happy, but not enough for me to say hey or nay. Where I am coming from I know it can't be worse but I really want a good fit. Thanks for all who can inform me.
Your comments are awful harsh considering
you missed the ENTIRE point of her post.
I can only hope you edit reports with better comprehensive skills than you used in reading that post.
She wasnt being harsh, just giving another point of

yeah, after rereading my posts they are kind of harsh.
and I am sorry for being harsh. I still have my opinion and will stand behind Transcend. But my apology is to JMO. He/she was the only civil one, debating more than fighting. I cannot bring myself to apologize to the other attackers, however, who were just as unruly as myself while hiding their names from the public.
I do agree with the above poster who said we should just let it go. We all seem to feel strongly in our opinions but we've hashed it out as much as it should/could be.
Sorry again.
If you call being ripped off for more than 5 grand harsh & scary?
grow some guts. Unfortunately, this is profession has become a cut throat business, and if harshness is what it takes to get paid, then so be it. We are all just trying to survive here on the piddling pennies with which we are compensated. This MT is an extremely dedicated, hard-working MT whose business has been destroyed by ***********not paying for services rendered. It's unconscionable. It is not meant to be a threat, but rather a forewarning of what it yet to come.
It may be harsh, but it is true. Too many people come into transcription with false sm
expectations. They expect to get paid to stay home, watch their kids, work when they want, make a fortune after 6 months of correspondence courses.
It takes more than that to be a good MT and a heck of a lot more than that to be a great MT.
With this economy, it would pay to fine-tune skills, work on typing speed, learn new specialties. The best will survive and I intend to stay one of the best.
Not everyone is good at everything.
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site. There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry. For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

No, after I read a followup yesterday that said there were apologies and answered Michelle, I realized that and someone said to just get back to work and they were right.. even an apology was too much, plus it would look like I was just tagging along after JMO, which is what you are accusing me of now.
I just didn't understand where the posts went, it was odd, and I wanted to reiterate some things (the point I mentioned earlier, about seeing BOTH sides), but I see it really doesn't matter WHAT I say, you've already made up your mind about me and my motivations without even knowing me. Why am I explaining myself to you? I dunno.
It doesn't matter. Good luck to you and don't worry, God will take care of/deal with me, and I ask him to bless you all too.:)
