You dare question the judgment of the almighty RN! How dare you!
Don't you know that RN's know everything and are the beginning and end all of all that's holy in the medical kingdom!?
But seriously, you have my sympathy, girl. Hang in there.
chitlins....where are you from???
I don't eat chitlins, but there are people around here who do....where might you be from?
chitlins
Eastern part of North Carolina. There are lot of people around here who like chitlins. I was born and raised in NC but have never been able to bring myself to eat them. I remember my grandmother used to cook them when I was little. Ran me out of the kitchen every time. She loved them though.
Dare
Okay, let me tell it like it is.....an MT who is near and dear to my heart works for SS. She will occasionally "blow off steam" to me about this or that. Because of the posts on here about SS, I called her recently to ask her if SS was really that bad and if so, would she like the number of the company where I work. She laughed. This is what she had to say, and it's pretty close to a direct quote:
No, I don't want to leave, for the most part I'm very happy. I work when I am suppose to work. I produce what I am suppose to produce and my QA score is high. I do the hard accounts no one else wants to do so I never run out of work and my pay is really good. (Still quoting) Some of these MTs have problems with ___ but she is NOT that bad if you just do what you're suppose to do when you're suppose to do it. One thing you can count on, she is always FAIR. Whether you like it or not, she is FAIR.
No, this is not my daughter MT that I mentioned previously. She works for Edix/Spheris and has for I guess about 10 years and you couldn't run her off with a stick. Still, she "blows off steam" to me occasionally. We all do that and that is our right but there is a point to just move on and let it go.
I've never taken dares but if I decided to make a move, I would go with SS I think. I pretty well would guess that I would have no problems with the supervisor, no problems with pay, no problems with tech support, etc. etc. If I found anything not to my liking, that I absolutely couldn't live with, then I would leave in a heart beat. Never have had a problem getting another job and doubt I would now. I've been doing this for roughly 40 years and only once had a problem with a supervisor and quit because of it. It really wasn't necessary for me to quit but the old supervisor I'd worked under for years, with NEVER an iota of a problem left and the new "whippersnapper" thought she was going to move mountains on day 1. I questioned her once and she told me, "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU CAN ALWAYS QUIT." So guess what I did? (I don't accept threats either). I did get a call from a higher up asking me to come back but once I've left, I've left. I never look back.
I'm not saying that your experience isn't true but then my experiences are true too. So you see, it wouldn't do me any good to accept your dare, it wouldn't prove a thing. Even if I found my experience was the same as your's, not everyone is going to have that experience.
I bet that if everyone posting negative about ANY company would sign their real name and the company came here to answer the complaints, they would have their side of the story too. I've always been of the opinion that there are really THREE sides to any story. Your side, my side and the truth (which usually is somewhere in the middle).
Oh, regarding tech support. Once when I worked for one of the big boys, the tech after trying several things to fix my problem, said in a rather grouchy tone, "I don't know what to tell you." Nevermind that made me furious!!! I mustered my sweetest voice and I said, "Oh, okay, would you tell ___ (supervisor) for me that I can't work because my computer is down? Thanks anyway for trying." HAHAHAHHAA I almost heard a gasp. He then said, well, we could try, this. Didn't work. He said, "I'll get a new computer out to you today and you'll have it tomorrow. I did and everything went on as per usual.
Oh, to dare to dream.......
and then I dare say, the management
would conveniently lower the pay to maybe 3/10 of a cent per line - lol. Can't allow those lowly MTs to make any money.
Why is it that management (no matter what company or situation) always decides what is possible and what is in the best interests of everyone, when the vast majority of them have no clue and have never performed the work? No wonder the economy has tanked.

They also never think to consult the person who actually performs the work and get some very valuable input. No wonder the economy has finally tanked.
No kids? So how do you dare even post here
when you have no idea how hard it is to be a mother? You can never imagine until you've been in our shoes. And I suppose you have a unique ability to spot a loser right away? Well you are unique then, because it happens over and over again that the men we fell in love with don't always stay the same. And it has nothing to do with being a loser. They don't have to be losers to not be able to make a relationship work. If you're sick of the single mother issue, then stay away from posts like this that will only upset your childless cold life.
I'm happy. I just don't dare post anything
Well there, I did it. I said I am happy to work for MQ.
Bring it on! 
How dare you make such a statement.
I beg your pardon..how dare you make such a generalization..How do you know what anyone elses work habits are? I have worked for MQ for nine years and it has been nothing but turmoil, different rules for each regional office, pay cuts, platform changes, new CEOs every few months, rumors about selling the company left and right. In July the SEs were told they were needed and the company was going to make the best job for SEs because they valued us..Now in January, there will be no more SEs and if you do not apply, just like a newbie, to be evaluated, just like a newbie, you will no longer have a job. Please, I am most certainly not lazy, I have worked two full time jobs since 1997. How dare you!
I wouldn't dare...1 drink and
nm
In this economy I would not dare - they may look elsewhere, be careful!
.
How dare you? I used to live in a trailer and was not a skank
i wouldn't dare disfigure my body that way.
happy valentine's day to you too, though!!!!
As an MTSO, I don't dare raise my rates because...sm
I've been actually outbid when I gave a price of 11 cents a line. The competitor was offering 24 TAT too. I don't dare raise rates on my accounts anymore. That would be slitting our throats. One of my IC's actually took a pay cut on another account. The physicians said if they didn't cut their rates they would find a transcription company in India. The MTSO decided to cut the rate and any IC who wanted to stay on would have to take a pay cut too. Hey if you can find the work at higher pay, take it, but...
How dare you speak to a colleague in this manner.
You are in the minority. I am telling you this - the only thing that constructive criticism does is cause lack of confidence and distraction which lasts for me up to an entire day. We make mistakes. Not gonna change. QA should be honored for catching the error and leave the MT out of it. There is no need to do anything more but fire her and in this field, the doctor has the last word and they still decide in the end - get that MT off my work and well, if that doesn't happy, that is a good sign. I have seen grown women brought to tears from the bullies in this field and it is about time it stopped, while that giant sucking sound caused by our jobs going to India gets louder and louder. Solutions include pods - teams of QA editor, proofer, data collector who WORK TOGETHER with mutual respective, sense of professionalism and hey, how about some humor and kindness? Is there some reason why some MTs think they are our sargeants? The only thing you bullies have on us is the ability to be rude.
but boards will be dano's boards and that's the issue. no one dare disagree with dano.
yes the boards will be boring with just one-sided opinions but we need to please dano. isn't that the purpose of MT Stars?
