don't care to discuss what they make. Why should we? It is such an individual thing and based on so many factors that is is impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions.
The type of work, as well as the MTs experience, ability to research effectively, retention and overall knowledge and intelligence, self-discipline (and much more) are variable, to say the least.
What others make is totally irrelevant to what someone else may make.

Wonderful people in Houston, yourself included!
Wonderful to know there are such caring folks out there.
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.
Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.
Really soap-operaish and annoying.
Look at the Company Board. Names given
x
So simple. Go to the supervisor and tell them the names of the two people who have two different
answers and ask supervisor if she could let you know which of the two answers/orders were correct. That keeps you out of the middle he-said she-said and the supervisor can once and for all correct this so no one else has to go through second guessing what should be done.
Why in the world would I do that? I don't see many other names on this board either, yours includ

need help on word board---catheter names
5 French s/l Davis catheter and 5 French s/l Wineberg catheter? Tks!
you can post company names on the board.
nm
I would sue and post their names on every single board on the Internet.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I've seen quite a few names, first and last, of people
mgmt on this board in the past, in similar situations, which is why I felt I could post this question. I certainly don't think I was not being tactful to the people I asked about, as I complimented them and enjoyed working with them. I wouldn't mind my name being on this board if someone said something nice about me.
don't worry about frantic people who try to make a point by calling names.
They are immediate losers when it comes down to winning any sort of valid logical argument and you can see this person is a LOSER because they did not mention any companies to support their argument and instead lashed out at you. HOW SMART IS THAT?
Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?
I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.
So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).
We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?
I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.
I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.
Go take a deep breath and think about that.
Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!
LOL
Some people are new to this board
and confused. Every heard of a NEWBIE needing help?????
Kristen, you've got at least 3 people on this board
that say you've scammed them. Are all three people liars??? It's not that hard to do a criminal background check on you now that we have your name. And it would not be hard to obtain your SS# after that either to find out what other states you've done this in.
It was not about the south, but the people on that board. get over yourself.

Word ? DO NOT go on this board, but people continue
to post them. Administrators have continuously posted DO NOT post word questions here. Most everything else is allowed unless people get ugly and then they are told to take it elsewhere. If you want to play you need to follow the rules.
I think people get reamed on this board because registration is not
how they feel. I think the moderators here do a pretty good job of keeping this site clear of that sort of thing though. I personally like that I don't have to log in or show who I am when I post.
People who read this board still apply
at companies they are warned about. Your book would not only be a waste of time, but no one will buy it.
Why is is that people come on this board and ask a question and get pissy when they don't like th
your orginal post you are complaining about following the account specifics and not liking it and now you are blaming QA...don't get mad at other poeple if you are not clear on your original post...
Other people have posted about the ad on the company board--
--but the posts were deleted. I'm not sure what's up with that.
Could this be termed false advertising. Seems like a lot more people on the other board are saying
the same thing about MQ. If she is so religious as you claim why would she steer people to a company to have them not be able to pay their bills. Seems a bit odd to me.
Soooo...what are you saying? That people should post something that is worthy of the board in SM
your estimation? Would you like to have the monitors delete this post about KL and Regis? What is it that you want? Or would YOU like to think of a transcription topic and post it? What's the deal?
Not just in this thread but hostile people on this board always, WHYYYY
It's depressing.
Someone please post the name of a board where I might have to pay to be a member but don't have to listen to all the mean people.
Cute. Now you have taken to analyzing people as an anonymous poster on a MT board.
On a Sunday morning, doncha have something better to add to the world?
I am sick of people posting crap on this board and not backing it up. nm.
nm.
People tend to "embellish" the answer to this question, especially on this board.
Some people seem to feel a need to impress strangers on an anonymous message board. Sad, but true.
SITE ADMINISTRATOR: PLEASE ESTABLISH A BOARD FOR THE MQ PEOPLE, TRUST ME THEY'VE EARNED IT!!!!!

Most of the gals I know, myself included.....sm
love to get some really nice hand/body lotion, either in their favorite fragrance or something scented from a specialty shop. They usually sell for maybe $18-20 and that's just too much $$ to spend on our own hand creams! Either that or scented bubble baths, soaps, etc.
I give things like that to my friends all the time and I have one friend who has now actually come to expect a bottle of her favorite lotion every Xmas. :)
You and everybody else are looking for same thing, me included. nm

You need to know if spaces are included, then ... sm
divide your character count by 55 based on the with spaces or without spaces. It should come out exactly as your company figures. With it being 55 characters, I would almost bet you are not paid for spaces. Are you dividing the number of words by 55 or the number of characters without spaces by 55?
You should be able to come right out and ask the company the formula they use; if its not something you can recreate in a word document to verify, they are cheating you somewhere.
QA Submissions not included!
QA submissions nare not included either! LOL! Happy holidays!
Will that be entirely VR or any straight included?
NM
If you're not American, then how would you know. If you, you just included yourself
nm
Yes, lots of software was included.
Unfortunately, Word was not included though. 
Thanks for the input anyway. 
It would mean NO spaces included if it's only the B/W characters. Better ask for sure! nm

Hmm...will check this out. I know spaces are not included.
Thanks for responding. I will e-mail her tomorrow and find out what is up.
did you read the site I included....sm
in my post just below? tipping dot org keeps up with all the rules of tipping. www.tipping.org
MS Word is included in MS Works now sm
What Dell probably met was that MsWorks includes a full version of MS Word. It's the less expensive way to get Word without having to buy Ms Office. The student version of MS Office cannot be upgraded, btw, so don't get that.
Should've included the website...

Addendum: Batteries not included.
OMG... I feel even better now. I was looking at the back of the box and it said you need a AAA battery. Wow... I thought the sound was great before --- that was without the battery which I did not even notice because of the design of the headphones. Now, for the first time in 9 years working for MQ I am proud to say that I had to turn the volume DOWN. Too loud...hurt my ears...ooww. LOL Glad I was able to exchange my MQ stock for something useful... a pack of 2 AAA batteries for my new headphones.... Life is good.
Yeah, I'm annoyed that QA wasn't included! sm
I so respect QA because they usually fill in all my blanks and I sometimes am in AWE of just how they do that when I relisten to all blanks several times. My one QA lady also I absolutely think is the best because she communicates so well with us.....and seeks us out to do just that and give us feedback.
Next year, I'll bet, they WILL honor QA!!!!!!! (if I have anything to say about it!!)
Thank you so much! The Shorthand instructions included with my version

Sorry you are so disgruntled but many of us, myself included, are still making money...
there have been changes but I am still making great money so I have no complaints...good luck to you though
I get Sirrus/XM included through my digital TV package,
So I just play it through the home theater system. It rocks
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Hmm, guess I shouldn't have included bird and humans. nm
