Yes, GP is dead serious! S/M
While MT Stars will not voluntarily give out personal information, I seriously doubt they would be inclined to defy a court order. Anyone who thinks their identity is truly annonymous might ought to think again.
It occurs to me that it is very interesting that someone(s) are attacking me as they are. Could be that someone(s) finds it objectionable that I am standing up for MTs who work under the most difficult and unfair conditions of any group since the coal miners? Undoubtedly some MTs have better working conditions than the majority. This board is only one of my sources and the allegations of MTs with 20+ years not being able to find employment, no OT pay, being forced to flex their schedule to get required lines but flexing only to the benefit of the employer, being fired or forced to quit for speaking up, etc. etc. are true in one form or another for the vast majority of MTs. That doesn't even touch the subject of people paying good money to attend MT schools and never being able to find employment. Many do find employment, the majority do not.

Seems like you are kicking a dead dog. (sm)
I assume you have contacted them yourself. Sorry, but I have no idea why they didn't give you work or why you had to pay shipping yourself. I understood the standard was they gave you a shipping label, you called Fed Ex and they picked up and delivered said package.
I assume you did deduct this as a loss from your taxes in the past?
I would! This profession is all but dead

You are dead right, my friend
That's right, it did come from an apparently specifically-created email account, so it would not have come back undeliverable. Someone was on the other end of that email account, and apparently the Yahoo Fraud Group contacted them.
Obviously the VP wanted the poster aware of the fact that her 'resignation' had been accepted. In the VPs position, I would have been mortified if an employee informed me they had NOT resigned and that was in fact not their email address. A cursory glance would have proven to the VP that this 'resignation' email came from a different (yet deceptively similar) email account.
I think this entire situation reeks and I hope the OP has all of this documentation printed off and seeks legal counsel. I remember her posting about All Type discontinuing the hourly rate and only paying the per-line rate, and although I have not searched the archives to re-read that post, I certainly do not recall her saying she was resigning because of it, nor do I recall other posted 'rants' as indicated by the 'about seeing an attorney' post. I also do not believe the OP even mentioned All Type by name in her original post about having her hourly salary cut, so I'm wondering how her alleged co-worker even knew that was an All Type employee.
Too many questions with no apparent explanations.
Grammar is dead.
I wish it were not so, because I'm with you - reading some posts almost makes my eyes bleed. I get such stuff from supervisors, from the owner of my company, from friends and it all drives me nuts! I think the advent of ''instant communication'' has killed thoughtful written expression. Don't U disagree? Nobody takes the time to proofread anymore - just bang out a message, maybe run spellcheck, and hit SEND. Nobody sees the point that there is a difference between the word then and the word than. They now are used interchangeably. Gaaag! There, their, they're; to, too - all the same, right?
bet you're dead wrong on that one!

Its going offshore because so many brain-dead MTs
admittedly don't care if the company they work for offshores. I refuse to work for any company that offshores. I am an AMERICAN and until every American has adequate work, I say, keep our work here. We are being the authors of our own demise by our I have got mine kinds of selfish attitudes.
Beating a dead horse
Not sure about NOW but they used to hire a lot of people M-F who had to work only 1 weekend per month. I chose to work on a weekend day because of more money but a lot of people that were hired still work M-F and rotate weekends.
Dead horse is right, Sharon
These people do not want to listen to reason, do not want reassurance, and quite frankly do want to have to expend the brain cells to LEARN. They'd rather trash the company, VR programs and MTs like us who are successful at it and make good money at it. No point wasting your time or effort.
I say let 'em go...Sounds like TTs better off without them and I'd hate to think I have co-workers of this mentality.
Have a nice dinner out...One of the beauties of working for TT (even on VR, lol) is the extra money for the nicer things in life. At least when all of these posters bail we'll have even more work and even more money to enjoy the finer things in life!
Beating a dead horse here, but
If these companies came on here and started naming employees that were bad news, you all would be in a hurry to find a way to make it someone else's fault.
There must be grounds for the poster to be sued by TT or else a lawyer wouldn't have taken the case. Who wins? No one.
The poster allegedly being sued came on here to gather up a herd of followers and then closed her thread. I don't see her posting any longer, do YOU? But, you are here to defend her? For what reason? It makes no sense to me.
Whoever this person being sued in my OPINION has screwed up this board for the last few days. It is nothing but fighting and bashing! That poster is gone with the wind now, probably never to return again and we're all at each other's throats.
Can we please quit beating this horse; it's dead; deader than a doornail!
Your post is so dead-on! Agree with everything you said.

Spelling police are dead on these boards now.

I'll be retired or dead by that time. Let the

I give up, it's you beating the dead horse......nm

They will pry my expander out of my cold dead fingers.
And THEN they'll find out what Cranky REALLY means......
If you looked closely, they were dead on the vine THEN
It was all a ruse, a facade or pretense of caring. It was in an effort to avoid an en masse uprising and, to their credit, it worked.
The ONLY thing given any thought was the amount of $ involved and how long it took to get it to the bank.
Cannot answer TTS posting below- beating dead horse
Very strange, never saw where you could not reply to a posting, but the ones below to TTS are just like that. First of all, baloney to all- TTS is a great place to work, been there several years now, they do not bother you and how, pray tell, think about it, can you possible work at your own home and have someone miles away KNOWING when you take a bathroom break, get a glass of water - that is unless you had been gone for a longgggggggg time. Who is trying to post and pull someone's leg? I think the board has been hijacked.
Alright, no sense in beating a dead horse so
know what I am able to do and sorry you all are faced with something apparently lots are resistant to. I am leaving for the evening to have a nice dinner out.
Against. Dead/dying for MT now days for sure(30+ years MTing

I can't figure out how to use the shorthand properly (brain dead I guess) (sm)
Maybe I haven't taken enough time to learn it (I can be a bit impatient with myself), but I seem to have a mental block and have about given up. I used to have Smartype with my old system (before DQS) and wonder if it worked with Vianeta. Anyway, anyone out here, what do you use other than the ShortHand that comes with it?
Hands Down, it's......
Amphion. I worked for HealthScribe, and as it turned into Spheris, it seemed more and more work went overseas, more and more perks were taken away, and more and more MTs felt like cattle. I admit, I have not had experience with Medware but I've heard good things about them, too. If you want support staff that supports and genuinely listens and cares, then Amphion is the place to be. Amphion pays higher cpl too, for experienced MTs.
Please do. They need your hands!!

DQS was the best hands down--sm
I worked on DQS for 6 or 7 years with MQ. I never had a problem with sound quality unless the dictator was doing something to mess with it, i.e. cell phone, not holding the phone up to his mouth, holding the phone too close.
I have also read complaints on this board about the sound quality with other companies, and I know that 1 company in particular handles the MQ overflow. I think maybe they re-record it or something when they download the work to that company. I'm not sure, so I would probably stay away from that company.
Other than that, I think DQS is excellent. It's definitely built for speed!

Transtech hands down

wow...you definitely have your hands full...
I have a 2-year-old daughter at home with me while my 9-year-old son is in school...she is fairly good about playing by me, et cetera, so really I think I have it easy as far as she is concerned...but I am most productive while she is napping in the late morning...since yours are so little, I would say waking up before they get up in the morning to work, working during nap times and then possibly later on when their father gets home from work so he can help take them off your hands for a bit...good luck...it is hard work but it can be done...
Wow! How are your hands still holding out
typing that much for that many years! After 10 years, my hands are killing me after half a day. I used to be able to do that much, but it hurts too much now.
LOL! Someone has too much time on their hands
