According to my sis-in-law who, with my brother ARE both florist, he's not gay either lol.. and the 6 little knee biters that call him Dad kinda confirms that.  So not all MT's or florists are gay

Hope we can all continue to give your a few laughs

It truly does get to be hilarious at times, just wait till one opinion posted starts a whole nuclear meltdown :)

See Below.  I copied these.  Please see the whole string.  I think it's on page three now, maybe two.  I split my side on this one.

Well, good morning "Frank" are you counting your piles of money?

penned in at the moment because of unethical practices of MQ,

but in essence you have "given" us to your competition. Your competition may have

been weakened by your siphoning off of MTs to work for MQ for a while

mostly because you became a monopoly, but with all the manpower

going to your broken competition and hospitals who are tired of being

manipulated with smoke and mirror business, see how good your name smells in

the medical field in about a year.

The resumes are flying like kites out there right now, can you see them?

Those are not clouds in your coffee those are your livelihood in the medical

field going up up up and away.

Enjoy your card game now. I think the slight of hand way of doing business

has just about seen its day.

Any company that cannot ever give how a line is counted and show

the method an MT is paid - so that the MT can double check her "billing" is

not an ethical institution. We don't work for the suprise we get in the bank at the end of 2 weeks of chasing work around your company, we work for the

money. We are business people just like you. You, MQ, would not do business without a clear contract and yet you have expected MTs to

work on a line count that is by YOUR FORMULA which you can't share! How insane is that?

Why, yes, yes I am! If you don't like my company, please move on! This company has been in business for many, many years and I intend to keep it that way. None of you little peon transcriptionists can do anything to change that. I want only positive and productive transcriptionists working for me, and sorry honey, but you do not fall into that category. If I am such a bad, bad man, then why I ask, do you take my money every 2 weeks in your paycheck? Good golly ladies, get a life and leave my company alone. I do have lots and lots of competitors out there so go see how happy you are with them, but I will tell you right now this door only swings one way so don't come crawling back a cryin' saying you had it too good here - as the saying goes, "you don't know what you got til it's gone." For some, I understand that it will take you leaving to find that out and to that end, I say good riddens, adios amiogos, farewell, and goodbye.

No need to fix your makeup - you look good either way, although I love it most when you wear your red lipstick - YUMMY. By the way, did you get your bonus I put in your check? You have been such an outstanding and dedicated employee and one that I truly respect. Keep up the good work. I have been doing my best to keep your work pool busy by taking the other fat and ugly people's work from them.

Nope, I am Frank and in case you didn't know, you work for me while I am loving it up in the hot, hot sun on the islands. Now, I suggest YOU GET BACK TO WORK before I fire you!

are Frank?

Need a makeover.

I don't need 9 accounts to have to get work. I rarely pull work from most of them because I have get enough from my primary.

It is utterly ridiculous that you find a negative thing to say about everything you read you nasty, nasty lady.

I am an 80's teen, so he's a bit before my "time", but I still absolutely LOVE him! He is so awesome. I'm jealous.

Hope you have a truly wonderful time...think about all us back home while you're there!

I don't that the responders were jealous but sharing their experiences with you and telling you that there is a chance that you may not get that raise even though you feel -- and I agree -- you probably deserve it.  But at least they stayed through your move with you and you no longer have to pick up, deliver, print, etc. and kept you at your same rate while someone in the office was doing that.  So that saves you time.

 Again I barely pay attention to the cpl that I receive.  I look more at the hourly rate that I need to make and see how that works for me.  Especially since I also do mostly clinic notes like you and have the same dictators and can make so many templates, macros, auto corrects, etc.  -- I can type 300 to 500 lines per hour.  So at 12 cpl that is good money.  I utilize hundreds of short cuts, do not do repetive typing at all.  So that is money in my pocket and I feel a raise as I am working less and making more.  The MT world is going the same way as the trucking profession did several years ago and I lived through that with my husband.   10 to 15 years ago it used to be so lucrative driving a truck and now a days you are lucky if you break even.   Look at the foreign truck drivers that cannot speak English and or read the road signs.

I still feel that it is the insurance companies that are getting rich and I know that the physicians are not getting rich from them when they receive anywhere from 60 to 75% of what they bill out, but the insurance company does not cut our rates 60 to 75% when we use their PPO's.   If you raise your rates 1 cent per line, that is about an 8.5% increase which over five years is not that much.  I did raise my rates this last year and explained to them that I had to either raise my rates or get another account and then they might not be receiving the same service that they were these past few years.  They all said "Raise them"  so I did.  All you can do is to be honest with them, do not be defensive but do be prepared that they may not like it.  I think that is what everyone was sharing was that be prepared for the worst, hope for the best and go for it.  After having some of my accounts for 5 to 18 years I still get butterflies in my stomach when I raise the rates.  But even though I have only gone up 3 cents per line in 16 years, my production has doubled so I  work less and make more. .  .Anyway that is my thinking for what it is worth. 

it's called a life!!! Woohoo!!!

I tried to use quotes around jealous, but it wouldn't let me post the message... And I don't mean jealous in the sense that you know it..... I just mean that everyone is soooo surprised and so eager to tell me that I'm so lucky and that I better not take it for granted... and that is fine.  I am wondering WHY that is the way it is.  I think it is awful for us as MT's, the career I thought I would be able to raise my family on, has gone from what it was to what it is.  For God sakes the cost of living has skyrocketed, and I have never received a raise in five years.  Now everyone would be happy to be making what I am making... however I can never imagine working for 7, 8 or 9 cents because I feel I am worth SOOOO much more than that, and I think you should ALL feel that way.  Outsourcing is a real threat, but not always.  The hospital I work for now, they tried it, and the work was crap, so re-hired my mom and I at 10 cpl.  I am maybe too optimistic but I feel like it is like VR.  There will always be errors...

I just feel awful that people are ragging on me for wanting to make more because I feel I deserve it.  I don't think a one cent raise is that awful to ask for.  I'm just trying to make ends meet as it is you know?  If they refuse it, then I deal with it.  But the fact that I spend so much time looking things up on the internet, doctor's names, new drugs, addresses... and someone expects me to work for next to nothing? 

On a side note, I get NO benefits as I am an IC.  Would someone suggest asking for benefits rather than a raise?  Insurance costs a lot even though I am young and healthy, and I don't remember the last time I put money in my IRA was.

It's just really sad.  I always thought that this would be my forever career and now at the age of 25, i must rethink about going back to school, maybe becoming a nurse, they are in high demand now aren't they?  I just wanted nothing more than to be able to be home with my kids when I have them some day.  Is that such a terrible thing?

 Best wishes to you all

When you said *Sleepless in Seattle* setting of your home - that was one of my most favorite movies - and I remembered the setting well. 

You have to not respond to the perpetrators on forum boards/bulletin boards - these are places notorious for hitting and running away with perps *thinking* they are completely anonymous.  However, thanks to the GREAT supervision of the owner/moderators at MTStars - nobody is anonymous, as they can see all (IPs/DNS/operating systems). 

My advice, Patti, is to not respond to them because, as you just said, you have nothing to prove to anybody and you appear to be humble and grateful for all the goodness in your life today.  (I'm sure you went through lots of *stuff* too in order to get to where you're at today.)  Take care, be well, and know some of us here are very supportive.
