See Dr. Phil today? He was ALL OVER parents with your attitude
You need to get the transcript from today's show.
Man, are you failing your kids with that attitude. I feel sorry for them.
I don't think Dr. Phil
is good enough to help these people. It's obvious that there are some underlying issues that need to be addressed.
What would Dr. Phil say
Dr. Phil would say -- you are allowing them to do it to you and then ask "how is your present situation working" -- it is not so do something about it. I am sorry but kids these days need to take a little responsibility and do some the chores. everyone needs to pull their own weight. Believe me, those TV's would be unplugged and they would down to the bare essentials until they began to do more. You are not teaching them anything by doing everything. Also unless you ask, they don't know what is expected of them. They cannot read minds. Have a family meeting set up a list and time frame for things to be done and if they don't do it, well then something is taken away, video games, TV or whatever. There is no reason that any mother, father should not receive help from kids when both parents are working. I did it and I am sure you did it and it did not kill any of us, it prepared us for the world. So you need to talk to them, husband included and say if you want the financial picture to stay the same and with me working two jobs, this is what needs to be done. If you don't and we be out on the street, then I can quit and will have time to clean the portion of the street where we will be living or the car if we need to live in our car. Just me two cents worth.
Dr. Phil. sm
I am quite fed up with Dr. Phil. He seems to be the expert on everything from weight loss, to addictions, to relationships. I heard he was so cheap, he takes free samples of anything he can get with all his money. Dr. Phil does not know everything.
If I were you and he were my DH, I'd make him take that job right. Like Dr. Phil says,
would you rather be right or would you rather be healthy? Who cares if you and he were "right." Put your pride aside and accept the offer for the job back. Obviously you need them and they need you (or they need him).
Have you contacted Dr. Phil??
Seriously, I don't know what you can do about it. Probably absolutely nothing. You just need to be as supportive TO YOUR SON as you can be. You can let him know you don't agree with this but you love him anyway. Honestly, this will not last long. He may not even make it to the altar. As far as the girl....just tolerate her the best you can. I don't think she'll be in your life very long!! Good luck!
Train in one day the Dr. Phil way.

Dr. Phil seems only interested in
for his weight loss supplements and snack bars. I read the ingredients and they are full of trans fats, which are the ones that plug up your arteries. Now he is in movies too. Tired of him and his pop culture psychology.
see the posts, most do not like Phil...SM
 so there....
Look, Phil is what he is, and he DOES help people.
Captain Phil
:)
Did anybody see Dr. Phil today?
seen. I think it is terrible if he would try to make ratings off of parents abusing their children. I hope he is trying to use this as a service and maybe it will help others.
and I dislike Dr. Phil...*ROFL*...sm
Highly educated here and with more street (common) sense than MOST people in the life and I don't like Phil....
Who's got time to watch Dr. Phil? LOL Kidding....
My kids are now scurrying around doing chores. They do this every year, though. It's like they push and push to see how far they can go before we take away Christmas. Or maybe they're just bored. Too bad for them.
Phil IS sour grapes....called that on TV...nm
Dr. Phil??? Grolier book publishers....sm
Grolier Book Publishers put out an entire series of books in 1980 for children on treating others as we want to be treated. My children had the entire set.....each book was written the same way (in kids language and drawings) but focused on one subject each book...i.e., Let's Talk About Bullying or Let's Talk About Stealing or Let's Talk About Cheating...and basically every subject. My children grew up being very very giving decent children, successful, and never got into any trouble (to write home about, just some school issues), and today I'm very proud!
Dr. Phil didn't exist in our lives 20-25 years ago. He merely reminds us of old-school teachings......and I can appreciate that. 
You should talk to Phil Cohen at PRN Funding. He is very
You can contact him by visiting the PRN Funding site. See the link below.
As long as it takes, to quote good old Dr. Phil!
You're both worth it - go for it!!
As Dr. Phil says, "Let's get back to common sense."
If you see red flags, hear bells and whistles, or alarms going off in your head..listen to it. If your already hearing the excuses as to why they aren't getting paid on time, why be one of those waiting on your check...It is kind of like seeing a train coming down the track right towards you and somehow you convince yourself you can dodge it. I'm sure others have tried before you. Excuses will never pay your bills. Listen to your gut, go with common sense and the rest works out. Just my opinion...
LOL LOL LOL? What do you know about my attitude? LOL
I know you are management and you know what? You can't put out this fire. Attitude? Why I'll just tell my mortgage company that my attitude was bad, I got a bad QA report because I couldn't interpret ESL dictator and could I please not have them foreclose on my house. Attitude indeed. Check own queenly gotta be right I'm better than you lowly MT attitude yourself.
you can keep your attitude to yourself
The information I got was in the email, not on actual paperwork. If you don't want to answer, then go but somebody else. I understand the concept of work more, get more, DUH yourself.
Attitude
I am truly sorry if I offended. The question itself sounded kinda "duh" to me. Again, I apologize. I've been 46 hours with no sleep and okay, so my brain is not on it's best functional mode.
I am utterly at a loss for words now as I honestly meant no offense.
wow, what an attitude he has!
Well, I am sure glad that I do not work for THAT company! Seems this outsourcing thing is getting WAY out of hand. He moans about not having enough MTs in this country - I think that they just need to get the pay per line rate up some (pay us what WE are actually worth for once, and quit sending it ALL overseas so that these companies can "SAVE MONEY??"). I would like HIM to live on what WE have to live on!!
i like your attitude
excellent point
Someone with her attitude needs to
go elsewhere. With her around, I was almost dreading coming on the board sometimes. She is always looking to start an argument or putting somebody down. I, for one, am glad to see her go, and only pray she stays gone. What a drag!!!
Attitude is everything.
My impression of your post is that management never gets it right; only you do. I wonder if they could ever do anything right in your eyes.
It's too bad that there are so many people out there with the attitude that the company is "out to get them". There are a lot of good companies and people running them out there--just as there are good MTs.
If I work with someone like you, I'm sure I already avoid you because I don't want to be around such a negative attitude; if you work at home, I'd like to say "thanks for staying home".
With your attitude you should do the same
Since the only thing you can come away with from this discussion is "give up and do something else"!
Certainly, with that attitude...
You will have a difficult time achieving anything positive in life, connections or not.
Are you serious? The only attitude so far has been yours! nm
x
just me and my attitude?
apparently not.
Maybe it's your attitude to begin with.
Change your tune. Be sugary sweet when you think someone is being rude to you and see what happens. Pay it forward. Give someone a smile or a kind word. Let someone in line in front of you. Just do one little nice thing per day and it will multiply. People are never rude to me. Everywhere I go, they know me by name because I take the time to be kind to them. Gas station, grocery store, bank, school, doctor's office. You might have to fake it 'til you make it, but you can change your outlook and how you perceive the world treats you. If someone is "rude" to you, blow it off. Maybe they're having a bad day and it's nothing personal.
Their attitude usually starts it!...sm
I've dealt with some really helpful techs, but mostly alot of real winners (not):
One experience I had at MQ (no longer work for them), but I told the tech that the modem they just sent to me was fried. He told me that was impossible; they check everything before shipping. He made me do this and that for about an hour! When none of that worked, he said, "you don't know anything about transcription equipment do you?". I told him I knew enough to know when a modem is fried, and probably said something else! He told the supervisors that I was rude and whatever else he wanted. The next day the supervisor called and alluded that we had a "personal problem"! UGH!
After two supervisors had me do this and that with the modem and computer, they decided the modem was unusable and would ship me a new one (24 hours later with me losing work time while paying them to rent the equipment, not to mention getting stressed and frustrated wasting time with the tech with an attitude).
Your being frustrated and sarcastic is perfectly understandable! But, yeah, they "tell" your supervisor!
There was no "I'm better..." attitude in my post.
Your perception of me is that way because you don't like my point of view, my success, my refusal to be a part of the pity party like everyone else.
I gave the OP a good piece of advice. Save her money and work on healing the heartache of this situation. I stated in my post that it is a heartache and her frustrations are completely right on.
Too bad if you don't like my advice. I'm not cat fighting with anyone. Sounds like you have PMS!
Take some Midol, will you!
nice attitude
xx
And it is exactly this kind of attitude....sm
that will continue to keep MTs classified as clerical help. Until we start taking some accountability for our own professionalism, nobody else will sure recognize it!
18-year-old with attitude
Our son is a sophomore in college now. He works during the summers for clothes, books, etc, but we pay his monthly tuition. He is almost 20 and just now got his license, no car or truck, cannot afford to insure that right now. Last year we paid 700.00 a month for tuition, this year 1300.00 a month for tuition, but he is a good kid, has ADHD and studies hard. Tuition is a lot to pay for every month, but if he can get a good education, works hard, etc I am willing to pay for it. He is home now for winter break, helps me around the house with everything and is a good kid. We never thought he would go to college because he struggled so in his vocational school in high school, but his last year of high school he studied and turned his life around, got help with his ADHD and now seems to be on the right track. I opted not to take out a lot of loans for him because I do not want that burden on us or him in the future. Do what you think is right for your son. Of course their attitude is everything. We don't mind helping our son out because he has a "good attitude" and wants a college education so he does not have to work as hard and as many hours as his mom and dad do, as we both have 2 jobs each.
lol Who are you to say her attitude is out of line?
lol
She probably doesn't have your attitude and THAT
nm
It is all about the attitude, not the accomplishment!
x
Only if you want..its all about attitude and effort.
Horrible Attitude
That's really a horrible thing to say....just because someone feels confident in their skills is not a negative thing...it's a good thing....more people need to be "in love" with themselves and maybe the world would be a better place!
good attitude
Bless you for raising your sons to be men of honor -- soldiers. No matter what one thinks of this war, I so admire the men and women who are putting their lives on the line for us every day. Thank you. (Though I envy the part about "fantastic salary" at the hospital where you work, you deserve it!) You go, girl.
good attitude
Thank you so much for your kind words Dawn. I hate the war, this is not a "good" one....but all the gals and guys that are in it deserve all of our prayers and good wishes. We must stand behind them until they all come home.
As to the good salary...I am most grateful for it. I wish each and every MT could have the same, and let us hope things change so they (and you) will.
Keep smiling and pray for peace!
Oh, that's a great attitude.....
I am very confident in my job and my brain and my knowledge of the use of the English language. I know I am better at composing a grammatically correct and near perfect report than most doctors dictating as fast as possible just to get it done, or especially since the surge of ESLs. Sorry you don't have that confidence, some have it and some don't. That attitude that this job is just typing what they say is what got this industry into the poor quality state it's in today. If an account doesn't state *strictly* verbatim - and most do not -we are expected to type it using proper English and good grammar by editing without changing the context or meaning. How long have you been doing MT? Just curious.
Having an "I'm worth it" attitude
However, with so many companies hiring to simply crank that work out, it is a shame that we are not compensated for such. If you are an MT from home, there are quite a lot of advantages to that. I also have found that working online is less stressful, therefore, I really do not mind the cut in pay. The online work is where I have taken the cut. It is not the accounts that I have attained on my own. My suggestion would be to cut out the MTSO and gain your own accounts, and I think you'll find that MT pay is really good. Sometimes you have to take your own initiative to make a situation better. What is the saying? When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! 
This attitude is a prime example of why
LOL
This is the kind of attitude
Almost any job can be viewed as helping humanity. The checker at the grocery store helps you in the process of obtaining the groceries you need to feed your family. The bagger helps you bag them and maybe even helps you carry them out.
You don't have to be some hotshot doctor or nuclear physicist to help humanity. Just smile at everyone you come in contact with today. THAT's helping humanity. You may not know it, but someone may really appreciate that smile, and it may give them a sorely needed boost.
MTs work day in, day out, transcribing various types of medical records which are a VITAL link in the chain of medical care. Helping humanity? You bet we are!
It kind of seems to me like an "I was here first" attitude-
"I was here first and this is MY job and who do you think you are trying to get in on it now?" Just my 2 cents.
I can't believe what a lousy attitude this MT has
That certainly isn't the way to get a better raise next time. If I were in your position, I would start training someone else for this job. When that person is up to speed, sayonara, Ms. Bad Attitude.
She HAD a 'positive attitude', and look where it got her. (nm)
.
I don't understand this attitude. At other
jobs to people just get to pick over what they want to do and not do the rest?? NO! Our job is to transcribe the doctor's dictation, be it bad or good. You will never learn anything if you just take the simple things. I for one, enjoy my job and like the challenge some dictators provide.
