It is NOT the only way for them to compete. That is total and utter BS!! It is just a better way for them to satisfy their GREED!

You are obviously begging to keep this going
so go ahead....You standing on your soap box here is not going to make a bit of difference but you go right ahead. I'd sooner just dig in and get the job done - I do QA too and I've seen horrible and I've seen good -and I've seen exceptional - I prefer to think positive but you do your own thing
You are just BEGGING to be tossed out
not to mention how clueless you are. Perhaps if you work for a group of docs..but if your work is coming from surgery centers, clinics, etc...YOU are indeed clueless because as administrators change (AND THEY ALWAYS DO) the first agenda is cost cutting and to see 15 cpl going out for transcription when ABC Co down the street will come and do it for 10-12 CPL...you will lose accounts..
Newbies are begging for jobs at 6 cpl or they
So sad isn't it? I agree that the companies do not pay what they should, but they get away with it because more and more want to stay at home right off and not get the experience they need so they can go the bargaining table with a handful of ACE's, if you know what I mean. 
My co. was begging for MTs to work July 4th -
 - so I stayed home, and can see a ton of work listed, yet my job list is EMPTY!
I hate when this happens! They cry for backlog to be caught up, yet we can't get to it to do it. Meanwhile, ANOTHER holiday wasted in front of the PC waiting for work.
With used to have this problem all the time with the owner begging us to put in at least a few sm
lines for someone else within the year, when we were really her employees, just with no benefits. The IRS could have made big trouble for her. We had to work for at least one other person/company or would not be considered ICs, but employees.
Why on earth are you begging him for work when he doesn't pay on time? nm

At least you "twiddle." Initially, I develop laryngitis from begging
.
I bed your pardon.
Beg your pardon...
Been an MT 20+ years, been an MTSO, got tired of pounding the pavement and putting up with MTs who didn't show up or had such poor quality. Sold the company. Went to work for another company. Moved into management. Get along great with those reporting to me - I've been in their shoes and work alongside them to support them as much as possible.
p.s. pardon the typos nm

No, pardon me, I forgot something.

Beg your pardon. Not T. Someone who knows who works for them
and no am not management
Pardon my ignorance but sm
When did they start using flash drives and how? Most of mine don't know how to use the computer! Please share. Sorry for your problem, sounds like the office manager is gloating over this - it's their problem, not yours. Charge them for the lines find out how computer literate the staff is. They usually pay peanuts and get monkeys!
Pardon me, and not to sound like an old crank...
but I think the current spectacles for preschool graduations, kindergarten graduation, 6th grade graduation, or even 8th grade graduations have just gotten out of hand. Formal dress for a 5-year-old finishing kindergarten? We've just gotten carried away making huge productions for children out of normal everyday stuff. No wonder they act the way they do sometimes. Some kids expect fireworks for every move they make in this life. I'm not that old and we didn't do jack diddly squat for any of the above occasions... Even 8th grade, it was just "have a nice summer and see you next year." I just personally think we should save the big hooplas for something that is actually a culmination of a lot of persistent work. High school, college, etc. But kindergarten?
well, one posted close to that...pardon me...nm

Pardon my stupidity, but what is an MTSO?

You're bedding my pardon? Oh my!
I beg pardon, but I have to strongly disagree with above post.
If your heart is pounding, if you cannot catch a breath, if your vision is blurred, if you no longer recognize your surroundings (even for a few seconds), if you feel like you are going to die.......yes, you may well be experiencing a panic attack. Or you may not.
There have been too many times that people diagnosed themselves with a "panic attack", not even knowing what that is, and ended up dying with a heart attack or stroke. As in dead.
This is simply because of ignorance.
Once again, the first thing you do is to make sure the symptoms you have are not physical. And, you go from there.
If, once diagnosed as actually having panic attacks, with no physical reasons, then you learn to deal with it. You learn to "feel" it coming. You may be happily shopping in a mall or whatever, and suddenly feel like you cannot breathe. There is not a breath to be taken in. Your heart pounds. Your vision goes. Your extremities are not responding at all. You feel you are dying right there, right then. My first impulse was always to run, but I felt my body would not cooperate. It did. It always has......because it was panic attacks, and not a heart attack or stroke, etc.
So, you sit down. You pull your car off the road. You stop frying chicken. You take yourself out of harm's way, in other words. You learn to deal with it.
But, if you do not know for sure that this is what is occurring, you're a fool to treat it as anything less than some kind of breakdown in one of your systems. Cuz that's what it feels like. And, anyone who treats that particular feeling without seeking medical advice is a fool.
Any other advice is ludicrous.
Lots of food (pardon the pun) for thought! THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!!
Thanks!
I beg your pardon. Some of us who work as IC put in more hours daily than employees!!
Heck, most of us take pride in our work and can run circles around your QA with accuracy! Please, you are way off base.
I agree there are some "fly by night" ICs who just don't care about QA or TAT, but that is not the majority. You can not make a generalized statement for all of us IC MTs. I am respected and paid very well by my Hospital for my accuracy and speed and knowledge!
I beg your pardon. I have elderly relatives in nursing homes who are constantly in and out of
hospitals. The elderly especially need our reports to be ACCURATE, as nobody gives a hoot to "talk" about them, let alone doctors getting to actually know and remember patients. EVERYTHING about their acute care in hospitals is taken FROM THE PAPER MEDICAL RECORD, and also when they get bumped back to the nursing home. The caretakers take ALL info from the transfer sheet. Reality check for those who need help most - elderly who cannot rattle off their histories themselves.
Pardon me, but your ignorance and obvious lack of class are showing.

Maybe I misunderstood the OP's concern. Pardon if my response doesn't pertain. nm

I am not feeling well today so pardon if I am making mistakes. I just think that it is time to stop
defending the illegal activities of this company. I know I defended them for many years.
