In Reply to: Thanks for clearing that up. Nothing to - don't be scared
Needing to make a decision and majorly gun-shy about which company... again, sorry about the confusion before, and guess if TT isn't hiring I will not worry about them anyway. Thanks again.

ooh I'm really scared
No seriously, this woman had it coming.
that would mean a bit scared, not bid obviously

about what are you so scared?
Is it the 'shortcuts'? If yes, I can completely understand you.
I never use the shsortcuts, I keep correcting using my mouse.
They say that using the shortcuts makes it faster, but this is not proved yet.
What else do they teach you in this 'VR training?'
Besides the shortcuts, is there something else to teach?
Scared? Of what?
I am PAST retirement age. I have nothing to be scared of. Am already drawing SS and other retirement checks. I could walk away now if I wanted to. I stay because I happen to love my job and the extra money I love to make. No ONE when I had to make it on my own was in my corner so basically, this is a virtual world now. I do mine and others do theirs. End up in what same boat?? Makes no sense, your post. The OP was stating that she had a friend who hurried thru reports and there were lots of mistakes because if not hurrying thru was docked her pay. Read that again and then get the true meaning of this thread.
yes. you should be very scared if they did sell.
SPI is a bunch of crooks.
I think they're scared :-(
I think a lot of them have been there a long time (judging from their posts on that board), and I think they keep hoping for the best and that things will turn around, but from what I see on the outside looking in, I don't think it's going to happen. I think a lot of them are trying to get out but just haven't had any luck doing so (yet). I can't understand how many of them are managing when it seems a lot of the service areas are in a 'NJA' status so much of the time. A friend of mine works for the Q and she still has plenty of work; however, she works at night and it's basically straight transcription, so I'm sure she's just prepping an account to go to VR and then on over to India. She says she's intending to wait them out until they fire her so she can collect unemployment. Perhaps a lot of them feel the same way.
Oddly, I almost accepted a position at the Q about a year ago (still have the entire offer packet, etc.), but turned it down when something a little more interesting dropped into my lap. I've given thanks the past several months, watching the Q implode, that I took the other offer. My nerves couldn't handle that kind of job stress.
Sounds like you and I are both fortunate and have great employers with good accounts. We're very, very blessed compared to what those at the Q have to deal with.
It sure scared ME off! (And I've been looking).

People are scared to ask questions
Why can't people just ask questions here without being scolded for things that have absolutely nothing to do with what they asked? If you don't know anything about the insurance, just don't say anything. How does it help anybody to hear about your own prejudices? Probably a lot more MTs would join in a discussion if they didn't get pecked to death. If you don't have anything positive to say to them, just don't say ANYTHING!
you were scared of switching companies?

to each his own way. too scared, then don't, find your own path. sm
every company has a web site, just sent it to them periodically.
lol! i'm not mgmt and not scared, just wanted to
share my opinion. I'm just a plain 'ole MT, wouldn't want to be in management or an MTSO. Had a couple of my own local clinic accounts some years back, but one of the doctors went out of business, and I gave the other one to a friend because I was tired of driving 30 minutes one way to pick up tapes and deliver.
Scared Speechless!!!! Today is the first day
YIKES! Starting TODAY! Training, going to VR. Have been in denial about the whole thing and now it is here, and can't affort a dime of cut in pay. Blaming myself for thinking positively and not getting something else... Is anyone else frightened.. and if you are not scared, please words of comfort... because the rent and big bills due from this paycheck and the next. Thanks in advance for feedback!
No the loss of pay isn't fun and the reality is that I should be scared.
Only one responsible for the bills, no time to sit on my hands so to speak! Wrists resting or not... I am sorry I absolutely cannot take a dip in pay. Just got off the phone with my car loan and they will defer the payment but I had to give a reason why and then they will call my employer and verify I work there... isn't that something... Also wondering how I am going to pay the rent on the first... Just had to put 400 bucks to repair my car just in the last 2 days. Nope. Reality is I personally don't have the time to wait it out and see how it goes. I have to make as much money as possible, yesterday, so to speak. This was where the fear is. Not in the training. So, I count my days until I am safe and secure in a job where I know my paycheck will pay the bills and that is what I am working on while I look for a school to retrain for something else, while I work doubletime here at my job now to keep up. So, that's the story folks. Trust your instincts like the poster down below said. Everybody's situation is different. But with no second income, the time to move is now, not later. As the car loan lady said... Don't let your next payment be late... and guess what I will heed her advice!
excited in a scared hopeless kinda way
I put mine on the board but got scared and deleted it after a day
Did not want anybody and everybody reading my personal business. I guess I like to e mail my resume privately. Though I am curious what response I'd get, I am too chicken to post it. Plus I am always worried if my present employer were to see it on the board LOL. Isn't there a chance of that? Oh, well. It's nice to hear it works if you get the guts to post it. :)
I think the 'scavenger' post finally scared her away..nm

Thanks for setting the record straight. I was going to apply with them but that scared me off. NM
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
