Good communication, help with problems, trust -

In Reply to: What makes everyone happy? - Terry
and when one employee does something wrong, address that employee, don't email everyone as if everyone was guilty. It gets so depressing when all you hear is complaints. By the same token, when someone does something right, when an account is happy with their work, let the Transcriptionist know. All we get is bad feedback, what mistakes we've made. Most of us are pretty isolated - would be nice to have positive reinforcement for a change.

good communication; trust on both sides; and --sm
not doing everything possible under the sun to cut the transcriptionists line counts at every turn. I get REALLY irritated with that. I need to make a living too.
COMMUNICATION+TRUST = LONG HAPPY MARRIAGE
Good lord. Why is it when someone does not want to do something with their spouse it is "assumed" another woman and/or man involved? If he just started working and is probably working hard, long shifts etc, maybe he just wants a day to himself to sleep, lounge do whatever. Call and talk to him and tell him how you feel. Maybe he is the cautious type (I know my husband is), but maybe he just didn't want to hurt your feelings by telling you he just wanted to sleep/lounge/have a day for himself.
I am sure he misses you and the kids, but I am sure he is also tired.
You also said in your post you trust him 110%. Then trust him. Let him know how you feel, but respect him and don't go see him. Yes, you are an adult and no you do not need his permission, but you are his other half, you need to respect him (and vice versa).
Good luck and don't pay attention to the negative posts.
Yes, I usually got pretty good communication. NM

Good communication, appropriate feedback...
a decent cpl, and enough work to meet line requirements. In my case, I want to produce quality work for a fair wage, not be expected to type my fingers to the bone, and most importantly, I want to be treated like a real person, not some unknown, somewhere out there transcriptionist! My goal is top notch work, not piling up stacks of cash.
MQ communication
You had fast communication? I could never get an answer from anybody anywhere, although the I-mail system did work better before!
No communication here either!
I think this was a good company until the consultants took over. It just seems to go downhill every time I think I want to give them another chance. I have emailed several things lately and no response from them. I emailed a question after the last conference call and it was not answered in the generic one they sent or sent to me personally. I have sent two more and no answer. I ask for examples no answer. I still am waiting for examples from about 4 months or more ago. They used to be so good about it. I also agree work is low. I went part time so it does not affect me as much, but I am looking to go back full time and do not know if that is possible with them nor if I want to!! Very frustrating!!!!!!!
Communication
I am frazzled. How can a company go from sending nasty e-mail to the employees to no communiation whatsoever. I feel like this ship is sinking and I want to jump off. Don't even ask who it is and no it is not OSi for a change, the other one.

Etransplus and communication
I started with them about 2 weeks ago. When I started I got a 60 second tour on how to use the system. I received 3 samples of work and no account information. I had to BEG to get the account specifics and that took about another week. Nobody answers emails, including the lead on the account. The account I was given is great and the system easy to use, but what's with the lack of communication? I have another interview today that was to be for a part-time job but I may take another one full time just because of the communication.
Poor communication
I think it is very interesting and would make wonder why she was fired. Sounds to me like someone with poor management skills, who was communicating bad information as they were not happy in their job.
I have been typing operative reports on the DQS for over a year now. My office has never treated me like I am a "dime a dozen".
try studying COMMUNICATION
lol
Lack of communication?
I recently was hired for a national MTSO and was wondering if this was typical for most companies who hire you as an employee. They train you, tell you who your supervisor is, turn you loose on your account, and after that you are hard pressed to get in contact with your supervisor, or anyone for that matter, for questions. I had questions about:
1) how to fill out my timesheet, a) when to submit it, b) how the pay period runs - all I got was a sample copy and told to submit it on such-and-such day.
2) questions on formatting that were not in the AI sheet - no response either by E-mail, IM and lack of contact phone number other than the 1-800 office number.
3) Two days into the job - ran out of work on both primary and back-up account. Response - "sorry, we're just slow." and not by my supervisor, by another company associate as my supervisor was nowhere to be found. Never heard from the supervisor again. Haven't bothered to log back in to work.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and is it typical. Do not want to mention the MTSO, but it is a well-known national.
frustrated.
Sorry, don't know what you mean. I don't have a communication board?
Here is an example of the communication/language barrier
My ex-husband had the flu, high fever and it was not getting better. He was quite ill. He went to his physician, a foreign physician with heavy accent. My ex tried to explain how sick he was. The doctor rx'ed antibiotic and sent him home. That night, my ex had a high fever and went into a seizure. Paramedics were called. He was still seizuring by the time they reached his home. He came into the hospital with bilateral acute renal failure due to the infection and high temp.
When I spoke to him, he said it was clear the physician did not appreciate how ill he was and the language barrier was limiting their ability to talk to one another. My ex was so ill, he didn't feel like being assertive. He should have been hospitalized. But, that is too late now. His kidneys never regained function and now he sits with millions of others waiting for a donor at UCLA.
Heartbreaking, isn't it?
It was so nice to have fast communication. I miss it. NM

Communication is great. Last I heard in a newsletter
was Liz was back in the office part time,Jason was general manager, and altho Liz was prior owner, there was nothing about her being a general manager.
Ok, last time it was posted was in March, but when were the last 3 picked?
Are you all ever going to do anything about cherrypicking?
has nothing to do with the race, but rather the communication gap when dealing with my own medical n
I pay a premium for through my health insurance coverage. I want clear communication with my physician. Please do not throw the racial aspect in, as it has absolutely no bearing on the point at hand. In fact, my gynecologist is Asian, but she has taken the time to learn our language because she chose to practice medicine here.
Open, easily approachable, and true communication is key.

Problems as in communication?? If so, I'm soooo there. Sick of unanswered emails. No one cares
So what do we do, not trust?
I too went cross country twice at 17 and 19. Met lots of good people. It is just an unfortunate thing that happened and you cannot blame the girl. So what do we do, not trust men anymore? This boy and his two friends know what happened. My prayers and thoughts are with Natalees family.
Hi Trust Me...
If you send me your e-mail address we can talk off-line. We have been with MDI about the same time. Do you do radiology or acute care? I do acute care and this winter we had a lot of weekend bonuses on my account which was short staffed. If you post a question like below on this site, you will not get the answers you need. I am sure I can help you if you send me your e-mail.
Trust me, there is nothing
that anybody can post on this board or any board that would make me feel any less self worth. If anything, reading some of this idiotic remarks gives me a feeling of increases self worth. Furthermore, the name that carries over with each post can be changed at any time.
DO NOT TRUST JLG
Don't trust JLG, they are very dishonest and present themselves as above board. But they are not. Beware!!
You don't want to know....trust me
YUCK! JMO
Trust me when I say
That there are some MTs out there who DO NOT care. They do not take pride in their work, do not do the research and no matter how many times you tell them specific websites to use and other tools to use, they WILL NOT use them.
Most MTs are not this way and I think most QA realize this, but you have to understand that there are a handful of them (I deal with about 5 out of my 60-70 MTs) that are just ridiculous.
Yes, I can put in perspective and realize that it is part of the job but it does get frustrating sometimes!
MTs complain day in and day out about their horrible dictators and I think that you have to give QA the outlet to sometimes complain about the careless/non-caring MTs that they have to deal with as well.
There, I'm done. :-)
You act like that's the only job out there. It's not, trust me.

It will get much better, trust me on this. sm
It's much easier to relearn a skill than to learn a new one. You're just out of practice with your typing speed, that's all. And from what I hear, VR involves a different (very) use of an MT's skills than straight typing. As for the ESLs, some are better than others, and some good ole boy Americans are worse than any ESL I ever ran across back in the days when I was working.
Give yourself a little time to adjust to all this. If you find after a certain period of time--say, a couple of months?--that you still loathe the work, why, you can start looking for another job. :) Or check and see if you can start doing VR at least part time with your present company. Best of luck!
No one would trust that everyone
else would stop working too, so no one will do it. It was one thing when factory workers in a specific plant would decide something of that nature, but we are all over the place and have no contact other than this. How do you think that would ever work!?
Trust your instincts. You know best
what your needs, abilities and interests are. If you need or want to explore another career path, why not?
I would suggest some vocational testing either online or in person. Check around your city for vocational services. Whatever you do, don't let yourself feel trapped. Good luck.
Trust your instincts. If you don't think
they have their act together and can't find any other info, keep looking. Good luck.
Yes...trust her. It's beautiful! NM

You can't always trust websites. I have
googled something and have 3 or 4 spellings come up, therefore having to do more research. Books are your best get.
How well do you trust management
I would be concerned that they are getting their ducks in a row to outsource.
I hope your trust proves to be well placed.
And I'm glad to know you have looked into their background so that you can feel more comfortable with your decision to be charitable. Keeping you in my prayers. I wish you were my neighbor. For one thing, I like Shelties. For another, you seem like a person I would be proud to call a friend (and you'd set a very good example for my family--me included!).
Trust me, I thought about it, but yappy seems mean.
I don't want to get bitten. And who knows what the "door lockers" would do if I actually stepped foot in their yard.
I'm giving it another week and then I'm calling the animal control officer that works for our local Humane Society so that he can come over and talk to them. No names involved that way and I've had neighbors all around tell me they can't stand it either.
Poor little pup. I can't imagine tying my dog out like that. Like I said in my earlier post, I wouldn't even get a dog until the backyard was fenced in. He also has a "doggy door" and has been very well trained. Even if he does get out of the fence if someone leaves the gate open, he sits and whines (not barks) at the door as if to say, "Helloooo, I'm not supposed to be out here."
AND, despite the fenced in backyard, we take our dog for walks too. The yard is only so big and he needs regular exercise.
Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have a dog.
I don't trust myself. I set the clock or I know I'd wake up 4 hrs later.

Also, wondering if people trust him...sm
The mayor said he said, "get out," but alot of people did not. Don't know too much about this mayor, but maybe his people don't trust him. But then again, maybe the people in that area just hear the words "evacuate" alot, and nothing really happens, so they ignore the warning.
I can understand how alot of people did not leave. I'm talking about those who did not have cash, access to a car, or those who have no relatives elsewhere. I've got a family now, but in my single days, faced with those restrictions, I probably wouldn't have known what else to do but stay.
The people I'm wondering about are the ones who rode that horrendous storm out, have flooded houses even long after the hurricane passed, but still want to stay in their house, and not be rescued. I don't think they really know the conditions or understand the problems to come.
Just me, but did anyone else cringe every time the major said the G-D word? I can stand most curse words, but G-D is my most hated word. I understand that this mayor wanted to get his thoughts emphasized, but I don't think there's ever a reason to say G-D, and on public TV no less!
Trust me, I wouldn't transfer -
I just wanted to know where this LA la land was. I wasn't trying to be nasty. I am very frustrated with all this BS going on. The the majority are unhappy and a handful of happy people - doesn't make sense. If they would operate every office the same, it would certainly cut down on the unhappy versus happy MTs. I'm glad your happy and got an awesome account - I felt that way about them for many, many years. I am not miserable with them, I just think that we should be treated as people and every office equal.
For one thing, no car until she gets a job AND EARNS your trust and the car.
If she's going to lie and teach her little brother to lie, she's setting a bad example and needs to be punished, not rewarded. As for drawing trashy boys, does she have low self-esteem and dress and act trashy? She reaps what she sows.
He loves me despite my faults and I know I can trust him.

I don't trust disk cleanup
A lot of times it will list files for removal that really shouldn't be removed - I would rather err on the side of caution and remove things myself.
But that's just me.
That is weird. Sounds like there are trust
s
I wouldn't trust this at all! I'm shocked you do!
Talk about inviting trouble in the door!
I don't like Vista's search either. I don't trust it. sm
I am using Google Desktop and I have used Copernic. Both fast. As far as the Help feature in Vista, it isn't good because the help feature in XP wasn't and they didn't do much to improve it. Otherwise, I like Vista fine. It just takes some getting used to like switching to any new operating system.
5 cpl is an excellent rate to do VR. Trust me...
I have been offered anywhere from 1.5 cpl to a whopping 4 cpl, even with years of experience until I found Transcend. I like my job with them a lot and they pay the best for editing. The work can get sporadic on a few accounts and I suspect this is because they sending it to India. This is something they do not hide. I'm not anti-India or anything, but I would like assurance that I have work, which is tricky sometimes.
Well then probably you need to find a group of MTs who you know and trust...
because unfortunately when you get people who don't know each other this will happen...
I am a supervisor and trust me you don't just send emails and
take it easy. There is a lot of responsibility to it and it is a stressful job.
Trust me I would if it didnt feel like someone took a hammer
Don't trust PayPal as they took unauthorized money
out of my checking account causing checks to bounce, overdraft fees, etc. that gave me no option but to close my checking account and open one in a different bank. It took 9 months of paperwork before I was finally reimbursed by my former banking institution for all fees as well as the monies that PayPal withdrew from my account without my authorization.
PayPal, however, took no responsibility for their error.
I am in hopes that there is another way to donate without giving your information to a site that is unsecure, such as PayPal.
Several programs out there. You have to trust them or do a hand count! :) nm

I was going to say to trust yourself and not re-read everything you type, but within the time
it took me to read your post and then go check my mail, I received my monthly QA report and had two errors where I didn't pay attention and put "female" instead of "male". Talk about feeling like a complete airhead! Just goes to show you that you're going to make dumb mistakes no matter how long you've been at this or how much you trust yourself.
