I'm shocked as well ... here's where ...
Look at the recipe thread here on page 1 of the Main Forum.

Open the post by "Just Observing".

There are ads displayed on the right, down the page where the "latest" posts are listed.

One of them is for BPO Experts. It is an ad for Indian offshoring of MT, coding, different types of HIM work.

I am quite shocked myself to see this ad on this website.

I am shocked
I still can't believe it. I did a search for MT companies and came upon Zydoc. Searched here but found only one person asking a question. Started filling out the form on their website and got to the last page and it asked me to enter my CC info!!!

I was shocked!
Ace really deserved to go home last night. I can't even believe that it was Bucky.

I am shocked!
What a jerk that doctor was! I am sorry you got in trouble for that, but I am sure you flagged it and did not just send it in as a final.

You go, girl!

I am shocked that.....
companies even use PayPal to pay. PayPal is not a very legitimate company and is KNOW for freezing funds, over-charging fees, etc. Years ago, Paypal decided to freeze $3,000 that I had in an account to "investigate" it, although it was clearly shown where the money came from. It took me a year to get my money back. I found out that they do this sometimes to invest different monies I guess. Crazy company, I wouldn't use them!

I was shocked too. Are there that many pedophiles?
a

You're welcome. I was shocked at some of it too. You know, there are
in stores and bakeries now too!!!! Lots more opportunities to be sitting in a danger zone in case you happen to be called in to be tested out of the blue and there you stand with you teeth in your mouth (and a few muffin crumbs on your blouse)...failing a drug screen.. yikes.

Yes, shocked here, too. As my 3 teens have
pointed out, dear Cat is sure strutting her you-know-whats. Yuck. Chris was absolutely stunned, and so were a lot of viewers. We're not even gonna bother - the remaining 3 are nice enough, but talented enough? No way!!

Very true...I was shocked as well
at least we can take comfort in knowing that SOMEONE will give him a recording contract.

I am shocked you would even question. sm
Your job is to transcribe the dictation. It is not your report - it belongs to who signs it. And unless you cannot understand a phrase or word - you blank it. Sounds like that was a clear sentence. Shaking my head.

The more I read, the more shocked I am
Your pharmacy cannot tell your husband your prescription is ready. Where does this madness end? People on here are paranoid, the whole world seems like going in the same direction. You cannot call someone's name in a physician's office, your next of kin cannot be told your prescription is ready- on and on and on. All this political correctness is just a bunch of bunk. I could use a lot more words to describe but not allowed to do so here.

I am shocked at how some people responded to this.....
Everyone has their bad days....that doesn't mean you throw your marriage away and decide you are better off w/o them. I know where you're coming from having a husband of my own that some days I could just kill but most days I love him to death and don't know what I would do w/o him. Don't pay these people any attention or let them get you down. Vent when you need to...

I for one was shocked at the line rate
When I first started out. They start some at 5 cpl, are you kidding me? 10 years ago I started at 0.0775 cpl. How can they do this and get away with it? Why are people signing up to do this?

I'm shocked. Sherrie come on out and talk to us
Dont you owe us that much?? We have supported this site for years.. Talk to us.

I wouldn't trust this at all! I'm shocked you do!
Talk about inviting trouble in the door!

I am shocked too! And the way that Ryan Seacrest just blurted it out...sm
I did not like that one bit! That was so mean how he told him he was the one going home! It was a shocker, but he will be one getting a contract sometime in the near future. I hope Taylor wins! I will for sure be keeping my phone lines busy next time - just goes to show that you better be calling and voting for the one you like most. Never would have thought Chris would have gotten voted off tonight....

Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly. These mistakes should not have been made. I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you.

I agree. I was shocked too. Laurie seems irritated; thought a little
mothering might help calm her down.

I'm raising my children alone. I know how it is.

I believe the original poster is the one doing the scoring, and she is SHOCKED at how low the score
is for the MT, and she doesn't even know what to say to the MT under comments. I can certainly relate - lately, its abysmal in my company. How, oh how, do these MTs get hired? To me, that is the BIGGEST mystery.

I'm shocked that they are still in business. Why haven't they been prosecuted and/or shut dow
nm

I received an invitation to a baby shower that shocked me....sm

It was for a friend having her second baby...already strange because I thought baby showers were only for the first baby, when you don't have any of the necessary items. The worst part, though, was that printed on the invitation was the ADMISSION PRICE to the party! It was a tea party at a tea room of some sort. It also was printed on the invitation what gift to bring!

I chose not to go to the party. I politely declined and gave an appropriate gift of my own choosing at a later date.

Wow..I'm so shocked. I didnt know this happened. I know the clients pay the MTSO owners so why ca
the MTs who do the work. Is this the same person. It sounds like she is a nice person but nice does not pay the bills. Anyone care to give initials of the company as I have been looking for a IC job and obviously with these people having a huge turnover due to nonpayment, I do not want to fall into that trap. How awful!!!

Hi, yes I did explain above. Really shocked by that post who thinks I'm a company...ahahah
NO bad intentions whatsoever. Shoot me for copy and pasting....too lazy to reype.

That's just really funny.
