In Reply to: my observation on some recent posts - debbb
I agree with all you said. I come here sometimes just to share thoughts, experiences, and to really help others as it helps me to help. There are some unnecessary, hurtful responses on here. The admin cannot police all and she should not be expected to. Have a little consideration, people, we are all in the same lifeboat here. As for leaving the profession, think about it. I have been tempted many times, have tried working in other fields but totally boring after hearing all that I've heard as an MT. I can't read a non-fiction book as it all seems so shallow and ridiculous to me. For too many years I have shared the lives of people on a real, non-fictional basis through my work. It is an interesting and informative profession and even doctors are amazed at how much information I have in this little brain of mine. I have on occasion saved many people in my family (including myself) from unnecessary harm or eary intervention. Please think about it before you leave us. As for this board, I llove it except for the nasty posts, but that's life. As we all know, it takes all kinds. Most people here belong in the helping profession. If they're in it for the money, it shows. Character shows up in the positive posts on here. We are, after all, supposed to be in the helping profession, not the kill or be-killed attitude some have. I would say most of us come in here for knowledge, friendship and just plain sharing. If we have a little laugh once in awhile, it helps, but not when it turns into a cat fight. IMHO, of course!

Oh, please! Nowhere was I nasty or rude.
Did I call her names or belittle her like a lot of you do on this board? No, I merely asked how she knew she was being trained wrong and stated what my experience has been. MTs need to be adaptable. That's the best thing a newbie can do is to learn to be flexible according to the rules of the accounts she's put on. Wouldn't you agree? Honestly, if you're that hypersensitive to think that I was nasty or rude, you need to toughen up. All I did was ask a question and state some facts. I wasn't judgmental or condescending at all, like many others I see here.
Nasty and rude. You can
direct people to the infor they need in a much more appropriate and decent manner!
How Nasty and Rude - I think you have been at this too long.
What gives you the right to judge other people, their situations, and credibility when you have no idea what you are even judging in the first place? You said I have no credibility with MTs. YOU can speak for all MTs? Really? Then why have this board. A question was posed to me and I answered it honestly. Where did you get that I have a gripe? If you will try to comprehend what you read, you will see that I was not the one with the gripe, however only trying to help some really nice people who do. Comments like yours are not helpful or productive, only nasty and rude.
Administrator who is this person that keeps coming on with all these rude and nasty comments.
:
rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Rude people? I hardly think so. They are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. sm
Not just management, but QA as well. No one is rude. They are a very understanding staff. There is one account that is hard but all it takes is getting used to it. Once you are used to it, it is no harder than any other ESL account that you would do anyplace else. I have heard all these things about TH from the archives and I have yet to come across rudeness or any kind of thing that I have read about in the archives. I would definitely pursue them if I were you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
How can you people be so cruel and nasty?
She is obviously trying to do the best for her son, and at this point is trying to figure out what it is. I'm sure she would discuss this option with the doctor or counselor before she made a decision. Cruel and selfish, right. Look in the mirror.
People's nasty responses
show that they are unhappy in their own lives. It doesn't make it right or pleasant, but it is about them!
It's not that those of us who complain of this do not want honest feedback, but we all know the difference between that and being just plain nasty.
I agree ... please take the nastiness elsewhere!!
NASTY prima donna QA people ...
Guys, help me with something because obviously I'm missing a crucial piece of the QA puzzle somewhere. How is it that QA folks who are PAID both more money than us and also sometimes on an hourly basis (and justifiablly so because of their presumed higher skill level) to fill in blanks GRIPE and COMPLAIN when they are called upon to do so? I simply don't understand, especially when there are obvious issues with the dictation, i.e. bad sound file, low voice volume, ESL's, etc. (I'm not talking about a situation where an MT may not have given his/her best effort to the dictation [which I don't think at all is as prevalant as some of the prima donnas would have us believe]). What did they think, that they were going to continue to do the same job as the rest of us but get paid a premium just because they are who they are?
And I'm not at all speaking in reference to those QA folks who are a blessing to the industry in terms of their talent, the nature of their feedback, and their mentoring capacity. I'm sure, though, that many of you recognize the kind that I am speaking of.
A clue: If you don't have the patience to fill in blanks and give constructive feedback, then please ... DO US ALL A FAVOR and stay an MT. The majority of us give the best that we have to each and every one of our dictations, but sometimes we reach an impasse with a particular chart that requires only a second listen to put together a quality final product and get it back to the facility. We don't need the stress of your nasty, superior attitude and sometimes not-at-all-helpful feedback.
Geez people! Why are some of you so nasty all of the time? SM
I don't think having your husband be the IC and hiring you is the the way to go. It's too convoluted. What you can do is apply and test for jobs under your husband's name. That way on paper he has the job. Then you just do the work. The paychecks come in his name. That way he doesn't have to "hire" you. You can earn as much as you want.
I wouldn't worry about Uncle Sam too much. He's been screwing all of us for years. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. Of course, now you've posted it in a public forum...
I will not post nasty messages
about ESL. I will not post nasty mesages about ESLs. I will not post nasty messages about ESL.
Okay, done. I did not post a nasty message about ESLs.
Ugly, physically repulsive people with nasty attitudes have that effect on me.
Ugly, ugly, ugly
agree; the only nasty posts are from those who do not

yep, people are rude
I've had many experiences in fast food with people thinking they can just talk to me any way they please because i'm behind the register and they are having a bad day.
One place was Dunkin Donuts. This was my first week on the job (I lasted two weeks). These drunk girls came in late one night, and thought it would be fun to pick out doughnuts, have me put them in the box, then change their mind. I was back and forth with this for about 20 minutes, and they were having a good old time. It was humiliating to say the least.
Another was at Jack in the Box. Also my first week, they had me on the front counter AND drive through. That night, unbeknownst to the manager, was the Garth Brooks concert. It was me and the cook, and a line of cars wrapped around the place and in the front. Anyways, since it was just me (getting the orders wrong left and right trying to go fast...people are so picky, wanting no pickle or pickle added, they do not know there is no key on the register for that, so I basically winged it)the people had long waits, and a very angry man and his son pull up and give me an ear full...WE'VE BEEN WAITING 20 MINUTES FOR A COKE AND A DIET COKE...just swearing, yelling, and was just in a rage over this. I tried to apologize, nothing seemed to work, I couldn't calm this guy down. He slams the money down in my hands, i give him his cokes and throw his change at him running out crying. That was the last day I did fast food after working at it for about five years.
Working for the public really stinks, and its no wonder people at McDonalds are so darn rude, I really don't blame them!
Look who is rude here? You or People?

It is Aranesp...sorry for the rude people. nm

rude city people
I hear you....twice in the past couple of months I have caught two different SUVs driving through the brush our our very well posted private property. Apparently, they see our property as an off road play land. It certainly is frustrating. I hope they put some scratches in their pretty city SUVs. Wishing for a fence and electric gate or a moat and alligators.
That's very rude and offensive to many people (nm)

Bad. Good pay, but bad accounts and rude people
stay away IMO
You will run across some pretty rude people around here as you've seen...(sm)
but not everyone is like the one above. Welcome. I don't have any of my own clients, but the service I work for recently lost the account I worked on pretty much out of the blue. It's a real shock to have the work yanked from you like that, and I agree it was pretty cowardly for the wife not to just come out and admit when you directly asked. I don't know what to tell you but just wanted you to know that you can expect some real nastiness around here at times, but don't let it keep you away.
Yes people can be rude here, including yourself. You just called

I think your post is very rude.
You should be more considerate. If this is what he wants to do to get benefits for his family, then why not? Besides, since he makes enough as doctor, then how much he gets paid probably doesn't matter.
I only work for benefits. My husband's income covers the bills. Thus, my pay doesn't matter really, though is nice :)
Wow, I'm glad I'm not a newbie. You people are rude to newbies.

People will be rude, and impose themselves, as long as you allow it. Once you put your foot down, a
It's just that it's too easy to impose on you. You have to stop them, kindly but firmly. I'm working now, and I cannot do that for you. They learn, they learn.
You're rude. That being said... Some people just work alone for a couple doctors and don't

It was rude in nature. 'Thanking' people for cherrypicking was uncalled for.

Did you really read the post??? Your response is rude
and not necessary. If you take the time to read it, she wants donations made to a childrens charity. BUT is saying that if not, gift cards or money would be great . Did you think possibly maybe that would be because the "money" can be given to the childrens charity and the "gift cards" could possibly be used to buy things for the childrens charity. She was not bragging about having all the stuff or having a yard sale; she was just making a statement of what they are having to do so they are not overwhelmed with 2 households.
No, out east ... lots of rude people running the show, it seems ... sigh. nm
My mistake...no need to be rude..perhaps i shouldn't post here anymore!
nm
Please explain what was snippy, rude, arrogant, or insulting in her post.
Sorry, but that's the attitude YOU put forward. You're the one ranting about not being able to find quality MTs. You use the same nickname and the same style as someone who posted the same topic a few days ago. I think you knew that would incite a riot. Maybe the MTs should start an MTSO bashing post and explain the real reason some MTSOs can't find decent MTs. You reap what you sow. If you're only offering newbie rates, you're only going to get newbie applicants. Maybe it's YOU that is the reason you can't find quality MTs.
I agree about the rude, angry answers--sm
but personally, I don't blame the MT field and being at home away from people. To me, being AROUND people is even worse out in the *rat race*. I have seen so much anger and rudeness lately, everywhere, that it is unbelievable! From road rage to these message boards, it is everywhere. I don't have the answer to it either, other than I believe it is the state of the world, right now. I don't want to turn this into a religious discussion either, but I think this is how things are SUPPOSED to be, prior to the *end times*, which are truly knocking on our doorsteps. daughter against mother, son against father. none of us are exempt. It is the evil forces in all of us. I can only pray for a quick end by God for all of this strife. Again, this is JMO. I feel bad for the OP. She did nothing to ask for the bitterness. Have a nice Christmas OP, as well as the rest of you. God Bless.
I agree with the above poster. I think someone else was being rude not the adminstrator.
I also answered but it never showed up. My answer was A by the way LOL
FWIW, nasty is in the eye of the beholder and you have given nasty as good as you got.
Read your posts again very carefully.
Thanks. I was going to correct my post.
After being told I had to download the new version for InScribe, I was told I could not use any outside player. I misunderstood the reason for that and just assumed that they meant it would not work with an outside player, Express Scribe, Gearplayer, etc.
After going back and fourth with questioning about this, I finally found out that it's the MTSO who does not want an outside player used and will only allow the built-in player.
So it has nothing whatsoever to do with InScribe and I apologize for causing problems.
However, the new version does require the USB pedal (according to the tech guy at Emdat).
This post is 100% correct in that
the way social security was set up was not entitlement. I have paid for years and I am choosing not to take retirement now at my retirement age, not because I do not have the income from retirement funds and other places but because I feel I can still work and be productive. I see no reason whatsoever to quit at a time when my skills are still good and I can contribute to my home- also I know by continuing to work just is pooling more money if and when I decide to take my social security. I would not be so ignorant to take early retirement if I did not do planning ahead of time.
This post is correct in its content.

You're correct on this post!!....sm
I suppose the platform used has A LOT to do with it - I didn't think of that prior to my post back at you. *S* I'll have to rethink it all. But I am far faster on ASR than any regular reports (well, I get tons of ESL as we all do today).
*S*
The post above you completely correct
and why do you have to get up on the wrong side in order to state what is the truth? You have no rights per se to work from home- it is their job and like her, I would be very glad just to have had the chance to work from home. The job owes her absolutely nothing other than to pay her for her work. A reality check is indeed in line. Too many prima donnas here thinking they should be given the ability to call the shots. Ha!
The above post totally correct
IN the 80s I made almost 60 thousand but not anymore. Some will come on and say they make that much but just with a 40 hour week, not anymore.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I've seen quite a few names, first and last, of people
mgmt on this board in the past, in similar situations, which is why I felt I could post this question. I certainly don't think I was not being tactful to the people I asked about, as I complimented them and enjoyed working with them. I wouldn't mind my name being on this board if someone said something nice about me.
Now, if someone could post the correct way to insert these smileys. They are so cute! nm

Above post is correct, see link - Ashe disclosed himself...
somebody called the press and leaked the story - but absolutely no identification that it was a healthcare worker. More likely an old ex-girflriend!
"Ashe, who was ranked first in the tennis world in 1968 and 1975, said with some bitterness that he was making his disclosure only because the newspaper USA Today had called him last week and revealed that it was working on a story saying he had AIDS. "
You read my post ABSOLUTELY correct. Supervisors don't need my appreciation nor
do I need their's. We all just want to get paid if you are honest. I don't have time to worry if I am appreciated by MQ. I just want them to pay me for an honest day's work. I guess that shows they like me, they really, really like me. Talk is cheap. I get it all the time from MQ CEO/management, how much I am appreciated. I just want to paid for my time and don't want to hear all the talk. I mean who really cares. So if they appreciate me and don't pay me for my efforts, what do I do with this "appreciation"? Bank it?
I was not answering MT school post but the one that happened to correct an error
they made on a post with this quote "that is verbatim. QAs are only human too." So you can mind your own business and STFU. Answer your own posts if you can't read the ENTIRE THREAD and understand what post my post is RELEVANT too. You are an arrogant QA person BTW who sits in judgement of posters and what is relevant or not. Just MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
You are the Sharon who posted above correct? The post that kyradmt responded to?
Agree! The same thing happened to me. I got everything correct
except run on and fragmented sentences. I knew I was right.
I absolutely agree with you. You've made it grammatically correct
hope this all comes through.
Your change is much better than the one suggested below which totally changes the sentence and would not be correct in my opinion.
i agree -- lines counts are correct and include expanders per my checks.

Neither. I just know these people and saw the post about FlashType
when something is stolen from another.
But if people who know things do not post
it on the board, how should TechSupport know that some people already know it?
So she offers her knowledge in a, as she explained it,
rather extensive and elaborate way, so to give all the information and avoid misunderstandings.
End of discussion!
Today is Saturday, my free day, I have to bake a chocolate-cream-cheese cake for my daughter who comes and visits!
Have a nice Saturday evening!
I agree, some people will never get it but, then again, what does it say about them as people? Not
