It's gonna take more than one person to change things. Until all American MTs realize the damage

things will keep going downhill.  We need to all write letters, inform people, push for legislation that will prevent American patients' protected medical data from being offshored.  We need to boycott any MTSOs that offshore and we should not accept peanuts for our skills. 

That's what it will take, but with MTs like you who call us whiners for voicing our frustrations, concerns, and opinions and who sit around doing nothing, we will all lose.

dictators and YOU ARE DOING THE OTHER WORK THAT IS LEFT OVER.  FOREVER IS A LONG TIME. 

CONSIDER THIS:  Your source and your manager don't like you and are going to let you stew by feeding you information about this Indian person doing all the easy work and letting you pick up the crummy work done by Indian dictators.  And as long as you keep doing this, they have no motivation to change and the Indian MT walks away with your money. 

Have a nice day indeed.  Sounds like you have had a rotten couple of months and you are wasting your have a nice day on me.  I'm doing great dictation, picked up a huge bonus this pay period.  Don't waste wishing nice days on me.   I make my own thank you.

You cannot always listen to what people say.  And in saying that, you don't have to listen to me.  But, I wanted to respond to your post and let you know that I am a Focus IC and I am having a very good experience.  I know that in the past some negative things have been said about Focus, but most of the MT companies have that reputation.  One poster or another will say negative things about a company for one reason or another.  This does not dictate what your particular experience will be. 

I do not get hounded by IM's as the other poster mentioned.  I always, always have work.  Have not run out once.  If I have a question or a problem I can email, call, or IM any number of people from Human Resources to my Supervisor to Tech. Support to QA and I always get a response.

The other poster may or may not have worked for Focus Infomatics in the past.  I don't know.  And if they did, they may have had a bad experience with them.  But, that can happen to anyone at any company.  I'm just giving you my take so you won't think that EVERYONE thinks you are making a big mistake.  I, for one, think you made a good choice.

Good luck.

No one thought it would actually be this bad.  I'm shocked at what i'm seeing on the news.  When they said it was coming, I thought they were for the most part blowing smoke.  I never knew people could just be left to die like this in the U.S.  Its hard to comprehend in this day and age and country, that WE could be wiped out by a natural  distaster. 

Whew!  Another close call.    Today is a beautiful, sunny (and muggy) day!

Wishing those in the Carolinas the same good fortune

much minor roof damage and blew signs down around in those towns, enough to tell there was a storm, but NOTHING like further south!

In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first.  It may not be any better.  If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential.  They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.

Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me.  We just had to wait it out.  It's a downside of working at home.

if that is all they WANT to type.   Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?

You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones.   Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between. 

First, you can't be all things to all people.  Not meaning to sound nasty or hateful, but with 3 kids under 5, you can't possibly do a good job either as a mother or as an employee.  With 1 kid under 5, possibly; with 2 under 5 maybe, but 3, no way, no how.  I know this because I raised 4.  1 was okay, 2 would be okay but you add the 3rd one (any 3rd one) and POW.  Constant.."he hit me....well SHE hit me first....I hit him because he looked at me,"  I'm sure you know the drill.  If you don't know what I mean yet because of their age, trust me, you will.

You can have the best of both worlds though.  Either hire someone to come in while you are working or put those babies in daycare during your working hours.  You will be there when they need you and you have the flexibility to attend school functions, take an afternoon off to spend with them and just take them to the park, etc. etc.  Plus you can devote full attention to your job during those hours.....well, as much as anyone can, since the majority of people who aren't in the know think we stay home and some nice company just sends us a paycheck every couple of weeks because they like us. And they want to "work"for the same company we "work" for.  :) 

Just to add a funny, I moved once to another state and later learned that thenew neighbors were gossiping behind my back, they KNEW I was having an affair with the UPS driver because he came to my house at the same time every day. hahahaha

Now I'm sure there are going to be mom's who say you CAN do your job with the kids.  I say that if you wouldn't consider taking your very young children to the office and do your job, don't expect to do at home what you can't do at the office.  Adding to your stress at home, who stops and fixes lunches?  Who stops and changes diapers?  Who settles arguments?  dtc. etc. etc.

I told someone before you could work with children underfoot and I'm sure someone will remind me of that so I'll go ahead and explain.  I said you could work with the kids underfoot and you can.....provided you have some help.  Even with help, as the Head MOM you'd still have plenty of interruptions but it wouldn't be continuous.
