A lot of women are treated badly in general sm

not just in the Amish community. How many women are abused daily, behind closed doors and in public. I remember an incident when I was visiting Atlantic City. Had just walked into the casino and there was this man, wife, and child in a stroller along with some other friends. Don't know what their argument was about, but the man hauled off and smacked his wife across her face like it was nothing and the friends seemed so embarrassed. The poor lady just shielded her face and cried. The man acted as if he had done nothing wrong. If this is the treatment he gives her in public, imagine what goes on behind closed doors. I told my husband if you ever even think about it I will put your poor soul to rest.
We cannot generalize by culture because it is the world we live in. To the Amish community I am sure they receive "normal treatment."
The gist of it all is no one should have to suffer the pain these children nor their families have endured with these school shootings, molestations, and abuse. If you are that miserable (they end up killing themselves anyway most of the time), why not just go ahead and take your own life and leave others alone. I pray for them all and hope that they can find peace in the midst of all this tragedy.

Never been treated so badly in my life
Just signed on with a company, had 1 week of work, now I am on my second week with no work. I am a single mother with children to feed...it's just not right. Searching for a new job and have 3 offers on the table already......
treated badly and pentalized
Has anybody here had a company treat you badly because you want to work? I was offered a full-time employee position. I took it and then I was barely getting 200 lines a day. I was also told I would have a back up account. When I questioned what was going on, I was given the cold shoulder. What's the deal? I want to work! I am use to getting at least 1500 lines a day.
No need to feel badly for me - feel badly for an adult who has no control of his/her own life!
I hope these people didn't produce any daughters! Bad, bad example!
Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't
I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.
Women, especially women of childbearing
age (especially this woman) prefer indoor plumbing and a bit of privacy rather than using a port-a-potty. I met a woman recently, she and her husband built the house behind me. She is also a master mechanic and does landscaping, all traditional male professions. She is a bit rough around the edges and I would never have pictured her with the man who is her husband.
I know a few male MTs and if they aren't gay, they missed a good chance.
Why do you need to know so badly?
What does it matter where she's from? Obviously, some people don't like to tell everything about themselves on the Internet because there are other people out there who stalk. I speak from experience because someone was doing this at another MT website.
feeling badly
I feel kind of sick mentally, someone recently hurt me and in my childhood things happened so i've developed this habit of cutting myself or punching myself. I just cannot handle my emotions sometimes they get so overwhelming, and truthfully it helps get my mind off of it, but then later I see what i've done to myself and I feel guilt and sick over the whole thing and the cycle starts again. Just wondering if anyone has ever had the urge to do this?
Just feeling badly today, I would post on the depressed board but no one ever goes there. I don't feel like I can talk to anyone in my life about my problems either, so I just needed to vent that out a little bit.
Please don't feel too badly - sm
I have been in this situation too and thankfully, I managed to get out a long time ago. Unfortunately, there are a lot of really mean people out there, who never stop to think about how their words might hurt another person. There is life after a bad and abusive marriage. Just try to ignore these mean comments here. You did what you had to do to help yourself and your children and you were only offering advice. Don't feel badly about that. I'm sure the OP knows whether or not what you did would work for her, and if she thought this would put her in grave danger, she probably wouldn't do it. Big hugs to you and the OP here.
I am so sorry. I feel so badly for you and your son,
and your other child :-( I have been with my husband several decades, and at least all is smooth now - I fought it out! But the first 5 years of our marriage were Hell - he drank - verbally abusive, etc. I actually left him - took the baby, her things, my typewriter, Dictaphone, and the TV. He knew it was over then! We separated about 6 months - I proved to him and myself that I could live happily on my own. He then agreed to counselling, and we have been happy ever since. But it was an enormous battle of wills, so to speak. Hope you are not offended, but I will be praying for all of you - your family. Please keep us posted if you can. Go with your heart - I know you know - your son deserves the BEST! I know when it came to my finally leaving my husband, it wasn't for me - my self-esteem was long gone, but it was for my daughter. She deserved better. And she got it ultimately - he is a wonderful husband and father now, but it took me leaving him to snap him out of it. Know that you are not alone. 
Yeah, but we need it so badly. nm
I feel so badly for both you and the OP sm
Just try to realize that the pain management professionals do not care if you get addicted. They don't even really care if you are in pain. Everything to them is the bottom line...$$$. You don't even have a name to them. Do you want them and these pills controlling your life for the rest of your life?? Personally, I want control of my own life. I don't want the poison that these pharmaceutical companies are pumping out daily in my system. The way I look at it is that if God wanted it there, he would have put it there. You CAN live without them....you just have to want to. You CAN.
Noooooo! Don't!!! It burns so badly you will wish it had been where it was before! SM
I had the same thing happen to me. Called my doctor and he said well put it up front, same tissue. YOIKS!! I called him from my seat in a cold-water bath and told him to mark that suggestion out of his book.
doctors who dictate badly
I typed for a doctor who dictated once from the stands at a pro baseball game, once apparently at his kid's Sunday school 'cause they were all singing "Jesus Loves Me," and in the car on the way to Grandma's--both parents were dictating (both were doctors, my clients) with the kids carrying on about "When will we be there?" and one of the parent yelling at them without, of course, turning off their recorder. HIPAA would have had a ball with them!
I so badly need a vacation. And one simply isn't in the budget.
But you know, having travelled far and wide with a man who could take me places, I did learn it isn't where you go, it is who you go with....
Yes, would love to meet, date, fall in love with and marry a rich fellow. Having a two income household would be a welcome change if the guy was the Mr. Right.
Don't feel too badly MQ folks. Another large SM
 company soon to initiate docking for errors. Whether these errors exist or not. These may be style guide errors. It seems the latest version of said style guide contains a lot more pages than the original version which was, perhaps 80 pages long.
Yes, I'm quite sure these companies are only concerned about quality transcription and not the bottom line.
depends on how badly you need GOOD work
and whether you are one of those who spends every penny on payday or budgets.
25-40 bucks an hour suits me just fine, cake platform...
you must just like to complain
Re above message - just posted on technical board. Need help badly.
Thanks.
We all feel very badly about the situation from the hurricaine but it is a big deal with MTs losing
the people and the offices they are used to and the fact that work is very short with some of these regions after you get transferred because many new people are put onto the accounts so why wouldnt it be a big deal when your income and accounts are jeopardized. What else is there for MTs.
You may actually be treated better too
in working in that environment, Burger King. It's shameful for the level of difficulty this job is, that the pay is this lousy and the treatment by supervisors/management is disrespectful and horrendous.
Not sure...I HAVE been treated in...
I have been treated several times in France and in the U.K. and found the care excellent and their pricing for everything medically-related far better than in this country. I know about their waiting lists and Canada's too. I'm not sure what the answer is nor is SiCKO giving an answer. I do know that trying to get an appointment in a VA Hospital in this country also has 3-6 month waiting lists.
I wish we all had an answer.....
Some people at SS are treated
better than others. The special ones get paid for their spaces, while some others do NOT.
Wow, that's really awkward that you are being treated
Are you sure they aren't getting these kinds of emails even tho their work shows the same errors on final copy?
This is a tough one.
Can you actually COMMUNICATE with her, instead of emailing? That seems to clear some kinds of things up, when emails just feel too awful.
Good luck. This must be an awful feeling.
ICs -- are you being treated like employees? (sm)
I filed IRS form SS-8, and boy did I get results!!
It took months. I had to fill out the very detailed form describing my work situation. The IRS then notified the MTSO and had them fill out the form. I just received the ruling that I was in fact an employee, so the MTSO now has to pay back taxes and penalties!!
It feels so good when something works the way it should, doesn't it?
You may well have been treated unfairly
There are so many different situations. I'm not saying you weren't treated badly. What I deal with sometimes is ridiculous. Totally made up words, no effort to digest feedback, no effort to look drug spellings up. AND an attitude toward me!
If we were treated like professionals, we might be
Management IS the devil. By the way, what's it like up there in mananagement, with your 6-figure income, your executive healthcare, and salary-not-hourly status? Especially when you sit in your office all day surfing Amazon & eBay? Must be nice, Beelzebub. But I'll never sell my soul for it.
So true!!. You can only be treated bad if you

You have to be psychic to be treated.

How many jobs do we take until we might be treated decent
I am on my third in a year
Which companies were you at where you were not treated very well. I am job hunting and would like
to know.
It's just one more reason why MTs are treated like dirt. (nm)
:/
i've been very well treated by my state's
BC/BS -- and have had several expensive accidents...but maybe it depends on your state too.
For what it's worth, I don't think that you were treated dirty...sm
They decided to go to EMR, which is their choice. It sounds as if you financially made out extremely well (very, very well) doing their transcription. How about charging a nominal fee to assist them in setting this up? In the end how do you know that the EMR will work out for them, and 3 or 4 months later they decide to go back to using a MT? It sounds like you made out like a bandit doing their work, and for what it's worth I would be quite reasonable fee-wise with this one in the hope that they may retain your services in the future. I don't think that you are going to run into too many gravy situations making $100.00 dollars an hour doing MT, and acyually they are not treating you dirty by deciding to try EMR.
You LET self be treated bad. Hard to feel sorry

I concur....MTs are treated with respect at MDI-MD....
Best MTSO out there, in my opinion.
He was my least favorite on that show and after how he treated Brenda,

Mine started doing this as well. I have high BP which I'm being treated for (sm)
but the doctor told me it is the position of where the back of my thigh rests against the edge of the chair, puts pressure on it and makes the leg swell. Now that I'm more aware of this I try to position myself differently and it seems to work.
I don't understand your question at all. She was being treated in Mexico
so what does that have to say about the US? Makes no sense.
not true. Crux is, she is being treated differently than others
Tell that to my friend. They had a dog they treated as a member of their family. That is, until it a
Dogs need to be trained and need to know they're lowest in the pack. I tried telling my friend this, but she wouldn't listen and she continued to treat the dog as a member of the family instead of as a dog. And eventually that "member of their family" decided it didn't want any more competition for affection, and attacked their son. Thank God he survived, 92 stitches and some nasty scars tho. If you love your family and you love your dog, then TRAIN your dog. Don't treat him like an extra child.
Oh really? That's why it's a fact that Zarqawi was treated in Baghdad for injuries.

It is gratifying to see an MT who refuses to be treated as a second class employee. Way to go!!
:)
At our base the civilian employees are treated worse
than the prisoners from the nearby federal prisoner. Military thinks civilians are the scum of the earth. You will never get a promotion or recognition unless you are married to an active duty person.
I would be proud if my records, with my name erased, could be used to help an MT be treated fairly.
:P

In General....
An employer cannot set a specific schedule for an IC. This link addresses the issue here :
http://ohioline.osu.edu/cd-fact/1179.html
An excerpt fron the site above notes :
"According to the IRS, workers are employees if they must comply with the employer's instructions about their work, receive training or direction from the employer, provide services that integrate into the employer's business, render their services personally (can't subcontract), have a continuing working relationship with the employer, must follow set hours of work, work full-time for the employer..."
As is noted in the site linked above , the consequences for the employer are quite severe if the IRS determines that the company actually was treating you as an employee rather than an IC.
In general,
in a given occupational group the upward pressure that unions place on wages and benefits has the net effect of raising the income and standard of living of poor folk up to the level of middle class folk while the absence of unions tends to drag the income and standard of living of middle class folk down to the level of poor folk. That upward pressure on wages and benefits not only helps union members but everybody else working in that occupational group. Without the organized upward pressure, wages will sink like a rock.
