Would you please take a chill pill?

Not going to go back and reread my original comments, but I doubt I was emphatic that *all* scribes are 'highly skilled'. Of course there are the mediocre and the downright poor. And those who blank 'any' term instead of at least trying to research it SHOULD NOT be hired as transcriptionists in the first place.
My original post was to the MTSO who asked for feedback. I actually responded to someone else's post (yours?) where the suggestion was made that rates be tied to difficulty. In that regard, I suggested that they consider charging a premium for difficult doctors, a portion of which could be passed on to the most skilled scribes. Most companies *do not pay* newbies or less-skilled individuals at the same level as more skilled/experienced transcriptionists.
For some reason you've misunderstood me, but you'll have to continue the thread without me if you still do.

You really need to take a chill pill, Cindy
You posted right behind one another and you are so bitter, probably having to start VR and cannot do. I make over $20.00 an hour, very easy.
I agree - and there are a lot of MTs on this site that need to take a chill pill.
The attitude of many MTs toward other human beings is absolutely uncalled for.
You really need to take a chill pill. I figured you'd be worn out from your rants below. nm
Take a pill
Read my post again, I said I did not understand all the negativity towards this company. I never once said anything negative about the MTs and/or editors who have negative feelings towards the company. Having read the posts so far, I do not see any valid reason why this company is so terrible. If you don't like the pay, then don't work for them, but it doesn't make the company terrible because they don't pay as much as you feel you should be paid. Gas stations pay $5.50/hour (guessing here). If you don't want to make that, don't go and apply at gas stations, but it doesn't make the gas station a terrible place to work at. I used to work for a national (will not name which one) the pay was great, but waking up every morning with a negative email in my inbox day in and day out, no thank you. BTW, I am not management. I have been with them for almost two months.
You take the pill......you opened it up.
No one said YOU said anything. If you read all the past postings, did you really think no one would respond to your post? You said you did not understand the negativity towards this company. You got responses as to why some individuals feel negative. You are happy and that is all that matters. So take it for what it is. If you don't want responses (or them to go your way whoever you really are)it is easy....Keep quiet!
How 'bout something to offset that bitter pill you swallowed?
?
Chill out!
Last I heard, this is a free country. Pay is not such a sensitive issue that it cannot be discussed amongst ourselves here on this board. Since when are certain topics off limits at an anonymous discussion board? She didn't break any rules. Look at the job seeker's board...what do you see in the job ads? Line rates. Maybe you are volunteering your time to Keystrokes, but the rest of us trade our time for money. It's no secret and certainly not a new concept. If you are that offended by questions concerning issues such as pay, which is the basis of what we do, then don't read the posts and certainly don't respond to them!
Chill!
Hey dudette, take a chill pill. I just asked a question. Here's another. Do you want VR to get so good that it perfects you right out of a job all together? When I have to fix the mistakes, I feel like I will be among the employed for a while longer.
Chill - it was put there intentionally -

In MY opinion, you need to CHILL
Anyone has the right to post here and anyone has a right to defend negative posts that are not true. Who are you to say that owners or recruiters should not post?? You are the one acting very unprofessional and a bit childish.
If someone spends $1.15 per page to fax something, there is THEIR problem. A simple fax machine is VERY inexpensive.
It is evident you need some ANGER MANAGEMENT classes.
You need to chill or find another job
This is the way transcription works. I've been doing this for 25 years. The years we DID have work all the way through the holidays were very rare. Deal with it. Things may not get back to normal until January 5th when regular schedules start again. Not everyone is out of work, but every account is different. You're not telling anyone on this board something they don't already know.
happens seldom, chill out...nm

Chill. Maybe there are no developments that need to be discussed. nm
