glaring mistake, complaining about people making mistakes when they should not. And honestly now, I know 100% that you kicked yourself when you saw your huge error. Nice to play the oh this is an informal board game, but honestly, you lost credibility when you botched your own post. Informal, formal - all the same, and since you are the one being critical, well...thus is life.

Okay, Amanda, you've made your point..sm

You've made my point with your inspid argument
And clearly if all you are doing is "correcting doctors spelling" you are not a transcriptionist..not sure what you are doing. I stand by my demand for appropriate compensation. Ya'll be happy being categorized as typists and making your $8.00 to 11.00 an hour. Unbelievable you would justify this...simply unbelievable.
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.
You missed my point. My point wasn't perks but prestige...nm

The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make
:(
That's not my point. My point is previous owner hired

I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)
If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference! Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?
not my point, actually. My point was the bigotry is the same.
The bigotry's always there. Not all "Mexicans" are Mexican, nor are they all illegal. My point is, though, people used to make remarks about cabbage smell about the Irish just like comments are made now about how nasty Mexicans are.
Every time somebody says something about "those people," something bigoted is coming out. That's all I'm saying.
because they are not as bad as they are made out to be sm
I would be willing to bet the majority of people posting negativity about MQ have been fired by them! I've been with MQ for over four years and am very, very happy. My check is always on time, sometimes early, I always have work, my coordinator is great, I can't say enough good about them. I would recommend you at least give MQ a chance. I admit, I was disappointed when they called me, but at the time, I just needed a job, so reluctantly I accepted their offer. Now four years later, I'm so glad I did. Everyone has their own opinion and experience about each company, and the same is with MQ. Not everyone will be happy there, but I certainly am. Good luck to ya!
made some changes...let's see
yes...you made my day..:-)
Thank you so much...works like a charm.
I have definitely made more
Plus, it saves on the hands and wrists. I never want to go back to straight typing. Still enjoy straight typing, and do about 70% VR editing and 30% typing. Love it.
You have just made me $$$
Yea!!!
I have to wonder if this is made up BUT if you are
be appreciative of the opportunity to become a superior MT by the QA guidance. If you allow yourself to fall into that pit of self destructiveness by playing 4th grade _the teacher hates me/likes me more than you_ routine, you only do yourself harm. Ask yourself...by having the information that someone is _getting away_ with something you can't, how can you _win_? You win by your superior skills. You learn and you thrive and if you need to, you move on. In the meantime, you learn things that you should have taught yourself as the proper way to transcribe 15+ years ago.
Someone who has been around for 20+ years and this was standard back then for quality MTing.
5 yrs ago, I made as low as $26 K, as hi as
Thank you. This just made my day.
nm
probably made her day! (nm)

But maybe if she made that $500
AND talked to her mortgage lender....offered the $500....then maybe they would be more likely to work with her. It was a suggestion, and a fine one. Lets just help the girl out. OK!
There are several. Most of them are made by
Infinity, but can be wired to work with various systems, so just because it is Infinity doesn't mean it will work with one particular system. If you don't already have a job that requires a pedal I would wait until you do. Some pedals are configured to work with proprietary software and are only good for one program. Some companies require serial port pedals, some game port, and some USB. You can get adapters to switch them, though they aren't always easy to find.
Made changes
Yes, I have made the changes you outlined. Unfortunately, stuff like wthi and placentia have gone right on through. I work with Instant Text and the Expander will not run at the same time as Instant Text. Even if I turn the expander on, the first time I use the IT, the expander shuts off. Thanks for the suggestions!
MADE IN THE USA
One more thing - does naybody else rememebr those commercials - made in the USA, and "buy American" - I do, instead of outsourcing lets bring back the USA pride, If I could I would use USA instaed of my initials on documents I transcribe.
Sorry I am in a bit of a tizzy about outsourcing - just ranting, but mean every work of it
YES!! I made $15/hr at my first MT job...
and that was with excellent benefits back in 2001. I live in the midwest where the cost of living is very reasonable too. So, $12/hr for an experienced MT is awful! I only had experience as a medical assistant before becoming an MT and made more than that.
I used to do this but made more as MT. Now I also
af
LOL, you made my day. nm
xxx
You just made my day:) sm
You don't know how much I personally appreciate hearing you say that. So many people (even family) think that all I do is sit home in my jammies and straight "type." It's good to see someone who has an appreciation for how indepth the MT field actually is. You are awesome for making my day!
THANK YOU! You made my day nm
nm
Most of us know by now that it's mostly made up.
yep, that made my day. NM
Thank you!
And I made about $60,000 in the 80s
and now, horse of a different color, totally.
A point well taken. However.....sm
...on the other hand the June Cleavers of the past had no alternatives. The liberation of women over the past half-century has given us the strength and self-reliance to walk away from an abusive or dead relationship or marriage.
I see your point quite clearly.
The FBI has consultants over there. There have been search teams from day 1 and also a search team from Texas. These people have cooperated with US government. They are also conducting an investigation of one of their citizens who more than likely has rights not to be interogated by a foreign government. You seem to think these people are illiterate and stupid. You have preconceived notions from the media and Mrs. Twitty that the Arubans are protesting, which is this country is like a third-world country run by idiots and keystone cops.  So open your mind and think things thru. Our government has messed up so many things in its own right (sex offfenders lost in the system or set free for example) why would you think they could get this right?
The point is?
"Can you believe there is trainee from India, living here in the U.S., who has been training on my primary account for the past TWO months at least....the problem is all she wants to do are the good American dictators and she is ALLOWED to skip, pass over, cherry pick past her own countrymen's bad dictations."
You have a high up source in your company who told you this? Why? And this issue has not been discussed with those in charge? Why?
What platform is this Indian in America working on that she can cherry pick past her "countrymen's bad dictations"
The only reason I question this is because it would be very ethical for this high up source to be telling you this and if you get mad enough you could blow the whistle. But since I have no dim-witted unethical high sources in my company who will actually tell me there is an Indian MT who is living in America and for two months has been "allowed" to cherry pick I couldn't fathom how you could possibly have this info.
So you knowing this is probably not good for your blood pressure or your high souce informant's job security. What's the point in you having this info?
another point sm
we have failed to mention that working at home can be VERY isolating. Sometimes I go for days and the only other adult I talk to is my husband. If you're on your own, you need to make sure that you stay in touch with friends and family, or else you can become very isolated before you know it! There's a lot to think about when it comes to working at home, these are just a few of the issues being discussed here! 
I see your point.
I'm not afraid of my kids, and I am their parent, not friend. I just don't want to completely isolate them from the world. I don't think controlling behavior is healthy because it can backfire and cause rebellion. (Personal experience.) There comes a point when you have to turn your kids loose in the world and hope that all of your parenting sticks with them. Meanwhile, I was just wondering if there were any nice kids left in the world, or if I'm just overly anal or judgmental.
I let these kids on my property, but I'll admit that I'm tired of having to watch them so closely. I correct their bad language, call them on their lies, check pockets before they leave, or hide things so nothing gets stolen. My kids aren't the Hitlers, but I don't see why I have to be so diligent with other peoples' kids. And no, my kids and I are not perfect. I just don't know where to find "nice" friends.
your point
I'm not. Only 3 more days to go....
exactly the point
It they want to honestly get a picture of the procedure increase/decrease since the induction of DEP/ASR they need to look at an ENTIRE QUARTER BEFORE these were institued and then compare it to the most recent completed quarter(or any quarter since that time). I come up at a 10% deficit, not at the 50% increase as they say. Yes, they are taking only one week and comparing the MT week from that week with the ME work from that week to decide that ASR has increased us which is bogus! Don't just believe me, prove it for yourself and call the help desk phone number on your letter.
Well you do have a point about that..
but I think another requirement at the Wal-mart here is that you have to hate life and everything about it. I swear it seems like it would kill these people to smile. When they hand my kids the sticker I wanna hand it back and tell them they apparently need it more than we do.
Come to think of it though...I think that's a requirement for alot of jobs..fast food places..customer service...the DMV. Go figure
and your point is?
You're a college drop-out doing MT?
Yes, I see your point too.
We are going to consult a behavior therapist. Some of it also is that kids are exposed to so much violence and bad habits that my son tends to be a follower. Apparently, a child hit him in the privates and he turned around and did it to someone else. He has never done that before, but guess who gets sent to the principal's office. my child..the "problem child".
So what is your point
Are you saying that they never fill the positions or what? When you make a statement like this, can you please explain what you're talking about?
the point is for her to do it on her own.
research yes. ask others, no.
that's exactly my point
why CAN'T you remember what you named his physical exam? because you have no system. it doesn't matter how much time passes before I get that same doc again. I know what I named his physical exam, his review of systems, whatever.
What's the point
in punching a time clock when there is no work to be done? That is... unless you get paid for that time that you are clocked in? Our time is worth money too. Right? But in this case it is my understanding that you must clock in; however, no work = no pay. What gives?
And my point is this.....
This is very similar to what is going on in the MT world. Hospitals are cutting costs by shipping the work overseas and Americans are losing jobs. Wal-Mart does business the way they are doing and they are taking jobs from Americans by forcing companies to lower their prices and then they can't afford to make those products in the US anymore. The two industries are very similar--am I the only one seeing this????
I have friends who work at Wal-Mart, too, and I also have friends who work at another local grocery store, Kroger. The difference is that the Kroger employees make a LIVING WAGE. That's why I shop there. Sure, I'd like to save money and not pay a little bit higher prices, but I choose to support a store that actually pays the majority of their employees a living wage ($9 or $10 as a bagger, $10-12 as a check-out person vs. minimum wage) and doesn't force companies to rockbottom their prices so low that they have to have their products made outside the country.
Honestly, we can't solve all the world's problems on this forum and I understand that. The problems with outsourcing and what is going on in corporate America are so much deeper than this issue with Wal-Mart. Everybody is free to shop wherever they want, but I just want to try to make my point as to why I choose NOT to.
That was my point, thank you. sm
Nursing, x-ray techs, nuclear medicine and ultrasound techs, respiratory therapists, physician's assistants, paralegals, the list goes on, and not all are even Ph.Ds. Well, anyway, if I were way younger, and the industry was looking then like it looks now, I believe I would be considering my options very closely.
You have a point there
Well, I guess our leaders are either plain stupid for allowing it to go on or have there hands out somewhere along the line.
So, what's your point? - sm
How is it her fault that you are single? I really don't think the point of her post was so that anyone would feel sorry for her situation. Sorry, I just don't quite understand your bitterness.
That's exactly my point. Nothing gets done
because when it comes down to it - they just hire, hire, hire and re-hire until the MTs remain quiet. Well, I for one am not going to be quiet anymore. Here's a sample - "The patient has be on a wheelchair for 3 months." If the doc doesn't know the difference between "be and been" and "in and on" - that's not my problem anymore!! It's insane. Outta here.
Wish me luck - going to fill out an application this afternoon!
