I would move on. I think it is so unfair not to be paid for spaces! I think we should get paid
per keystroke, but that'll never happen. I just think that these national companies are going to keep finding ways to cheat us. I found a job working for a hospital as an employee, paid hourly plus incentive, and they let us expand everything! Somebody's gonna have to kill me to make me give up this job. I will never go back to the national's again.
I feel for you though. I know that for us MTs those good jobs are few and far between and some have little choice but to work for the nationals. I just happened to luck into the job I have now. I just applied at the right time.
Good luck to you whatever you decide.
What a lame excuse. Move forward on your lawsuit, cuz you're not gettin paid.

"How dumb am I" to lose a CD-ROM? Oh, about as dumb as the rest of us. nm

For QA consulting I'm paid per hour; QA instructing (college) paid salary, QA editing paid per li
I am an IC and work for two different MTSOs as well as instruct at a business college.
if mt paid 9, editor paid 4 or 5...how can company charge 14 and make it..sm
I know the going rate in our area is 14 cents per line. As MTs most companies here pay us 8 or 9 cents a line. Now add in the Editor rate at 4 or 5 per line..you are paying OUT more than you can charge a line. How would companies stay in biz?
Unless all work is sent by the company overseas at pennies per line, this would not pay for a company.
just curious how this works out
But how much are the US EDs gonna be paid? Typically this work is paid at 2-3 cpl. nm

You don't get paid an hourly rate you get paid by line - sm
so because of how you are paid (not an hourly rate) you don't get OT, especially if you are an IC.
If those companies paid a fair wage, and paid more
all came out equal, people wouldn't feel the need to try to make up the deficit by going for the good stuff. I actually prefer the harder, juicier reports. But I can't make a living doing only that, because the pay is not commensurate with the difficulty. So even though I prefer not to, sometimes I have to pick up some of the easier, more boring 'line-o-matic' reports just to make ends meet. Tell your MTSO to make it work their while, and MTs will stop taking all the easy work away that you obviously would prefer to keep for yourself.
You wont show UE being paid because it is employer paid -
the employee will never have to pay this.
What you "should" be paid and what you "are" paid
sadly are two very different things. Good luck on demanding more..because someone else will just come along and take it for what they offer and they know it. 
Are you that dumb to know that there were sm
prisoners also at the Superdome in New Orleans. You act like everyone was a rapist, or trigger happy. As far as looters, if I had children and there was a bottle of water and bread in a store damn straight I would take it and feed my children. Many of those people worked and lost their jobs in LA, AL, and MS. You are just a bitter person.
not as dumb as you think?
Cabbage=CABG
Coronary artery bypass graft.
No, not dumb! Actually, yes, I did. None of
the buttons work though, just the calc/clear button (very top right on the bottom bottons) work.
DUMB-DUMB
Okay, I downloaded Express scribe, when I use the load button and enter the FTP address, nothing happens. I must be missing an obvious step, so obvious I cannot see it. I hope this is all worth it!
dumb me... but......
Applying for jobs that state much have WAV pedal.... USB will not work... so what now? Am I screwed? I have a laptop and went and bought an adapter for a 9-ping foot pedal. Is there a web site that I can go to to do a test practice with? Dumb-me. trying to get a job......
Maybe a dumb
question but are you talking about the "Gab room" for the chat?
how dumb are you to even go there?: NM
.
ok, maybe I'm dumb but
what is an STM? "Something" transcription manager? Are you by chance inundating her with requests or is it that she just does not acknowledge any of your e-mails? I don't think I'd put up with being ignored for too long. I'd seriously consider going over her head or looking elsewhere for work.
Count me as a dumb MT if
you want. It made perfect sense to me.
This may sound dumb, but..
where is the chat room?
Dumb dictation
Review of systems was not obtainable from the baby, obviously, due to the baby's age of one month. Review was obtained from parents. DUH!!!!
dumb dictation
Don't you just love these..I had one with the 11 MO understanding the assessment and agrees with the treatment!
dumb as a box of rocks (don't ask me!)
dumb as a bag of hair (No, I don't get it either!)

he's so dumb he got hit by a parked car
I'm gravida 0 and I have a dumb ?
If you are 9 mos. pregnant and in the hospital for induction, on abdominal exam, can your abdomen actually be *soft*?
I have felt pg bellies, and they are not soft. Why do they always say this? It doesn't make sense to me, but then I have no personal experience with it.
dumb question. sm
If you make a mistake while typing and you know it, do you correct it then, or do wait until you spellcheck to correct ? I tend to correct it when I see it, but began to wonder if it would be more productive to wait until I run spellcheck to catch it.
What a dumb response.
...sheesh....
feeling dumb......
when the doctor says dig level in the labs is he meaning digitalis level? my Expander expands dig to digoxin and I never thought to change it. I know digoxin toxicity is dangerous. I have never gotten feed back on this potentially dangerous (?) blooper.
There are also those that pretend to be dumb so they don't have to. sm
And those that call in sick every other day, that if they were really sick that often, they should be in nursing home.
Needless to say, I got out of supervising because I did not want to hate people anymore, and I could be petty like everybody else and get away with it like everybody else.
I've got wounds to nurse...
So why did she marry him, cause she's dumb, or it
was a coverup.
Dumb question of the day!!!
 What does MTSO stand for? I told you it was dumb.
Might be a dumb question, but...
I got an awesome poster on ebay that came in the mail yesterday. The one end of the cardboard tube was dented quite badly, causing the one side of the poster to be rather wrinkled.  Is there anything to be done for it? I'm hoping that maybe putting it in the poster frame I got for it might help. Any other suggestions?
No, not a dumb question....
From what I gathered on Google, it is transcribing what the court reporter types into a readable document.
Got it thanks all - felt so dumb and my
teenager wasn't home.
now thats a dumb question lol
let's use some wisdom here...
Have you ever heard the saying dumb
as a gourd?
We're not dumb, BUT
You really have to develop a thick skin regarding criticism. And you'll even make yourself feel dumb sometimes!
There is no other career that will make you feel like a rocket scientist and an abject failure all in the span of a 3-minute dictation!
You have to take the lesson in whatever form you get it and then let the rest go. Don't nurse grudges, it'll just give ya ulcers!
Hate to appear dumb, but what is VBC?

I used to be young and dumb but
when I came into some money, quite a bit of it, paid all my bills off. I only have my monthly bills now, utilities and such. It is a wonderful feeling but to the original post, it is here money and really if she wants to burn it, she can.
Not a dumb question, the way I see it...
Did you ever think she was just trying to make pleasant conversation about what happened to your daughter. I would not see question as dumb or unimportant. It certainly doesn't matter if she was, in fact, taking her history,but if she was just trying to be friendly then it's called 'engaging' the patient in conversation about her injury.
dumb question!
Hi! If you are responding to a job posting on the job seekers board and you hit "apply now," does it actually go to the person who is looking to hire or do you have to send it as a completely separate e-mail. I'm asking because there is no identifying information when you reply to the ad. Thanks!
No, No, Never Feel Dumb!!
I recall many years ago, what I thought was perfecto mundo reports come back by my mentor red marks all over!!!Hang in There! I probably still need someone to look at my work every now & then.
How dumb am I feeling right now?
I have a CRNP who must think MTs are not very intelligent.
So far, she has spelled: passed (not once, but twice!), spleen, and clicks. 
10$ late if invoice is not paid within 10 days. At day 15 work stops until invoice is paid. Hardly

I move around A LOT!!! - SM
I ALWAYS take pictures before AND after. When I lived in Florida, the apartment complex tried to charge me $700 to pay for cleaning. They said it was because I had pets and I left kitty litter behind, etc. I DID NOT HAVE A CAT!!! Do not just shake this off. They expect that people will not come back and make a fuss, well let me tell you - I WILL AND HAVE GOTTEN ON AN AIRPLANE to go back to a place that tries to charge me. I rest my case - thank you.
If you would like to move on to
a company that can give you plenty of work, your own accounts and not make your life a misery, please email me. I have spoken with many MQ people recently and have work, but somehow it seems that many are afraid to leave. I can pretty well guarantee you a good livelihood and little to no hassle .. and if it sounds to good to be true it is true .. plain and simple.
Move On
Same thing happened to the hospital I worked at. We were told we would be hired by the outsourcers at same pay! Ha!
I didn't transition but the ones who did report the pay was all changed once onboard. Plus the new benefits were horrible compared to what we were use to.
I chose to decline their offer, took unemployment and found a new job on my terms.
Good Luck!
PS: In my state, if you lose your job through no fault of you own (outsourcing) you are entitled to Unemployment Compensation.
If I could move, I probably would.
I'm not happy with the kids in my daughter's classes nor have I met many people that I would choose as my friends. I have met a few good people though. It's really hard though being young and single here, not to mention working at home, but I've made a few steps over the weekend to change that. Small steps, but I already feel better.
Can you move...
That would be helpful. There is no need to be hateful, tell people you are at work from this time until that time, and you cannot be disturbed unless it is an emergency. State the fact and then ask them to respect that! I know what you mean when you say people act like you aren't "really working!" It is annoying!
Me three! Let's move on!
