Keep in mind QA also is responsible sm

In Reply to: Are there no "account specifics" in QA?- - CuriousGeorge
for 30 or 40 different accounts at a large company. I get account specifics at mine, but they change at least once a week, constant emails to us about how this facility wants this and this one wants that. I am getting hammered to produce so many jobs per hour too and 40 accounts is a little much to keep track of.

No, just what he's responsible for
Oh, but you/we ARE responsible ... sm
Whose name/id number goes at the bottom of a report, the MT or QA? In my company, we do have access to viewing past reports, but only that. We do not have access to the sound file on that report; QA does. We cannot change anything on an uploaded report (before it is signed by the dictator); the QA can. I have looked up past reports I have done for the purpose of reference, maybe, a medication or a doc's name. I have seen things changed around which I know I did not put in there, which I know is not correct and against the acct. specifics for that account, but its MY id # beside the doc's signature line, not the QAs.
The responsible thing to do...
if you believe in the bad seed (which I do, but not in this case, sounds like abuse/neglect to me) is to place the child in a home for troubled children where she can be treated and kept away from innocent people who she might hurt. Some of these kids can become homicidal. I've heard of people waking up to a 6-year-old standing over their bed with a knife, stuff like that. You can't as a parent just send her back to her mother just to get her out of your hair. If she's that dysfunctional, she needs to be in a residential facility where she can either receive help or be monitored. Sounds like her mother will only contribute to the problem.
I was responsible for BC for years. After having #2 I was
unable to take BCP and refused to use other methods, which left him in charge. He didn't like his main option so opted for the vasectomy. It was $350, a 45 minute procedure done in the doctor's office, a day of pain and a couple more of discomfort, but he never missed a day of work or had any issues afterwards. The weird thing is that our insurance would not pay for it, but willing to pay 3 times that for me to have my tubes tied.
This is very true. They are not responsible
I know it sounds harsh. Late checks and no checks at all are two different stories. I've learned the hard way with direct deposit as well. This is not a sure thing either. Sometimes due to holidays or weekend days, it can go in late.
MTs have been responsible for their own DEMISE. (sm)
By allowing people to do piecemeal transcription at below livable wages, and them thinking it is a GOOD tradeoff -- it has diluted our profession down to nothing livable.
When it was considered a livelihood and it was something we did to have as a job, we were paid decently.
We were taken seriously. It was a skill that had respect.
MTs are just a bunch of women working from home (out of sight out of mind), somebody to be ridiculed, with nobody out there representing us to legitimize us. When we worked in offices and hospitals we were THERE - we were REAL - they had to deal with us. Now we are a mirage, they can talk bad about us and have no repercussion. We are not there to defend ourselves. You yourselves know how much easier it is to talk about somebody who isn't there than it is to talk about them to their face or to talk about your friend.
When so many are allowed to just drop in an hour or two a day for spending money, with a second person picking up the overhead expenses (living with hubby, etc) - it messes it up for this ever being able to demand a REALISTIC pay for the skill.
Just a reminder of why we have to accept things like 6.5 cents a line as an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
Do you think my son with his PhD and who acts as a consultant has to take a reduction in his fee because he works out of his home. HECK NO! A skill is a skill. He charges and gets paid for his value, not for whether he wears blue jeans or a suit to provide his expertiese which it took him years to learn.
It took us years to get these skills -- and now we are having to give it away basically because we work in PJs and can go to the store when we want to?????  THAT'S HOGWASH, but it's exactly what is happening. Think about it the next time you are asked to provide a skill you paid dearly to learn - and you are asked to do it for less than minimum wage.
As an IC do you feel responsible...
As an IC, is it my responsibility to contact the doctors offices to notify them that I may be gone for half the day due to a personal appointment. Is this necessary? Is this something IC's do normally? I feel obligated, in case someone calls for an urgent report or something else related to a past report.  I somehow feel on the other hand, that I am my own boss, I make my own hours, so I should not have to notify them.
What is your perspective?
TIA
Kids might still be responsible...sm
Something has changed in your computer system to cause this to start happening. I assume you haven't added or removed any hardware, so that leaves software as the potential culprit.
Among the possibilities for such software changes are:
1. Malware (viruses, etc.).
2. Web page scripts and applets.
3. Operating system updates.
4. New installs - games and other applications.
The information you provide is insufficient to offer anything more than very general advice, but that might not matter if you can find out what's changed.
Check first to make sure that no one has installed anything on the system since before you first noticed this happening. Then, find out what everyone is doing on line that has anything to do with viewing or listening to media (internet radio, etc.), playing games or instant messaging with audio/video features, as these sometimes install their own "players" that have been known to play havoc with sound card drivers.
The best idea of all, of course, is that no one but you ever touches your work computer. You run a lot of different kinds of risks when kids (and even other adults) use your work system.
Your mind was in the gutter up there with sauteed stool, too. Would you please take your mind out of
RESPONSIBLE? FEEL SORRY FOR THESE COMPANIES?
Well, aren't you just grand! Wow! You have three whole years in at your company! Boy! I have about 20 at mine - does that make me grander than you? Or at least MORE responsible?? Or fabulous? Your post makes no sense - why am I answering? Who knows! If conditions are deplorable at a new job, shall MTs stay to cover the cost of our training? Feel sorry for the poor company? That's what you are saying, and I think you are TOTALLY WRONG. I think most MTs would agree with me. An IC can't try out a job with a doctors' office to see if its a "fit"??? She'll be IRRESPONSIBLE? Talk about sounding like you're management. Is this Lee??? Since you are now calling me on my character, I can assure you that the company I was trained for totally misrepresented the job to me on hiring me. Had I known the truth, I would NEVER have accepted their offer. You are calling me irresponsible - I assure you, I am the complete opposite, though shall I debate it with you? I'm so responsible, I'm boring. But I am also learning to stand up for myself, INTERVIEW THESE COMPANIES BACK, asking everything from A-to-Z upfront (which still doesn't help), and NOT stick with a creepy new job more than a few months because it cost THEM $$ to hire/train me. What about the MTs??? So many of us lose big $$ by trying a new job. Read the posts on here daily - companies that promise to pay training pay, and then don't. Or they word it ever so cautiously, so you THINK you're gonna get paid X amount, but you don't. Or the companies like a large national who FAIL to mention that you might not get your computer set up (provided by them) and actually running for a week or two, waiting for techies to get their act together, while the poor MT sits there INCOMELESS. Or the companies who fail to mention that for the first solid 2 weeks of employ, you will be on 100% QA hold with a maximum of 5 jobs per day. Nothing based on quality or experience - no exceptions - just "the rules". Wow! I can really feed my kids on that $$! Or the account they promise will be like 50% ESLs and a "great one" turns out to be the squat account from you-no-where that NOBODY will type. Or they hire you at 9 cpl, with bennies at certain production, and you find later that NO ONE EVER meets the line counts, thus, no bennies! Which is why you took the job!! And, by the way, did you NOT read the fine print that says your cpl rate plummets if you DON'T hit 2000 lines per day? Gee, didn't the recruiter mention that??? Please. I could go on and on, and we're supposed to be RESPONSIBLE and worry about the company's costs?? Give me a break! Spend the months and months on end literally that I have interviewing, testing, and being hired by several of these companies NOW and then you'll more than understand why my attitude is not sympathetic to those who hire us. I've been told I'm the best thing since apple pie, a shining example of what an MT should be, and offered 6 cpl!! Ha! Unreal. I am responsible, and would like the same from these potential employers. I also would expect a modicum of respect from my fellow MTs, even those with "fabulous" jobs. I can assure you - fabulous jobs can disappear literally OVERNIGHT. Happened to me and about 10,000 other MTs, or rather 9,9999. Thanks for the support. If you ever hit the job market, save me email and write me. I can save you the time and effort by steering you clear of at least a dozen companies.
under a rock....BUSH is responsible....sm
Your president Bush, whom you *sound* like you voted for...is most definitely responsible for fulfilling his family's nearly 30-year pact with the Saudi's at ALL AMERICAN WORKERS expense. They had a deal from nearly 30 years ago and now the Bush dynasty is paying them (the Saudi's) back by selling ALL OF US OUT, including our PORTS!!! He has jeopardized ALL OF US due to his NEED/WANT for global acceptance of HIM.
If you cannot *see* this - time for you to get some serious help.
Responsible? No. Want/intend to? ABSOLUTELY
JMHO
Yes very spoiled but very responsible and do chores. sm
Most kids are "spoiled" in some way or another. I have two teens who do not ask for any material things. They do not care about name brand clothing or shoes, etc. They are leaders - not followers.
They keep their rooms clean, help out around the house, clean the kitchen, bathrooms, help me do the laundry. Now that school is back in - homework and school work come first. My husband and I spoil our kids on our own just because they are "good kids."
Wrong. MT wont be responsible for anything.

executor is responsible for filing the return.
As far as taxes due, no one else is responsible for those taxes - it should come out of the estate. I don't know how much money is involved, but if it is in any way significant, I would hire myself a tax attorney post haste.
however, and you didn't hear this from me...I wouldn't give Bush one more red cent.
Why is this so upsetting to you? He sounds very responsible and aware to me. sm
I don't think he is "throwing away opportunity" by quitting football, he's just venturing in another direction....his academics! I can't believe you're not happy about him WANTING to focus on his academics, which he obviously already has since he has a 4.0. He's extremely likely to get scholarships for that. I would be proud that he was mature enough to not only know himself well enough to know when something is not satisfying to him anymore, but to quit it in a responsible way, by telling you about it, by going to his coach about it. I understand the team mentality, and the importance of being responsible to your team, etc., but you shouldn't be forced to be loyal to something you don't believe in anymore, and certainly not guilted into it. Let the boy concentrate on math and physics! He can be smart for a lifetime, he can only play football for a limited number of years. Academics never gave anyone a concussion.
People like you are responsible for dumbing-down our "profession". If...sm
I were hiring and you applied, I would say get lost. As a professional, if you expect a professional's pay per line, you need to be able to transcribe ESLs, period. Suck it up and learn to understand.
We are not involved in "patient care". The dictator is responsible for that.

good luck to you!! Do something about that truck..you are responsible for any damages unless you
it taken without permission (different than stolen).
Agree wholeheartedly - have to learn to be responsible someday - hopefully already know
nm
Sounds fraudulent but the doctor who signs it is responsible.
dd
You have your W2 showing very clearly those taxes were paid. MQ is responsible for those taxes
because you were a statutory employee. That is the responsibility of the employer to pay those just as though you were an employee.
Would you mind ...
sharing that site with me? You can email me personally at kathy.eberle@gmail.com. I did get that very email and would like to know what everyone else has to say! Thanks!
Kathy
LOL! Never mind - I see it now.
I was sure it wasn't there a minute ago! 
Keep in mind, please......
That if a company has more than, say, 10 accounts, that the recruiters just might not KNOW how difficult an account is. When you get a requisition for account #67, there's no telling whether it's the best account on the planet, or the worst.
Don't mind
Actually don't mind the lower income right then, because I am selling my house and can afford to lose a little, knowing that after the first of the year or so I can get my line count back up.
keep in mind
In addition to the good comments made above you must also be aware that if you are going to a program that may upgrade occasionally and is not static you may well run the risk of losing your autotext entries. If you are really good about backing up your files, good for you and no problems really, but if you are like the rest of us and forget more than you remember to back up .. you could have one horrible day when you see the file not convert or some such ugly thing!
If you don't mind (sm)
your money being used to support anti-reproductive choice terrorism, go ahead and join.
Please keep in mind
how good you are feeling since beginning the drug, and that all drugs are very individual in how they event anyone. You really should not make a decision for yourself regarding some one's experience.
Never mind...duh

Do you mind me asking...
what company do you work for and are they hiring? I have been an Editor for 15 years and am having a hard time find a good company to work for. Thanks
Please keep in mind that many
of the people on this site work at home. Some have forgotten (some never knew) how to interact with others in a courteous and professional manner.
Please keep in mind (sm)
that he will tell you anything you will want to hear. One thing I had to ask myself when I was going thru this was, is this someone that I would want my daughter married to? I repeated that question to myself any time I was tempted to "try again."
where at and of what...if you don't mind my asking...TIA (NM)
I have! You can do anything you set your mind to!

There are many, but the ones that come to mind first are...
I love him because of the way he loves me. He's not fake, pretentious or condescending. He's funny, talented, and is a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Besides that, he's not afraid to go to the store JUST for a box of tampons ;) ... He's the absolute best and I've never been happier.
I do not mind either
Usually, if I am visiting at my mother's house and need to go online, I will ask but it is not a big deal & vice versa. But it all depends on what they want to use the computer for. When we ask each other to use the computer, it is always just to quickly look something up online & it never involves using that person's computer programs or going into their files or anything like that - just the Internet.
never mind!
was able to recover - Whew!
I don't mind .... sm
If young and older American men and woman love America so much that they are willing to go to a for foreign land to protect my liberties with their lives - I certainly will assume the responsibility of freedom for all by letting the government see who I call. Frankly, my phone call list is very boring I am afraid.
So to those who want to make a big deal over nothing (as long as you have nothing to hide), remember who is giving up . . an easier way of making a living (so that you can sit back, fat and sassy) . . an 8 hour work shift five days a week making far less than us (so you can make the money you feel you deserve and are entitled to). . being separated from their families (while we are all getting ready to celebrate mother's day with our families) . . .all because of the love for OUR country and THEIR fellow citizens.
STOP - LOOK- LISTEN - Is it your brother, your father, your uncle, your sister, your mother, your aunt, your fiance, your neighbor, your life long friend? - we all are God's precious children.
God Bless to all of our military and to you and your family - Pray for a United America.
I don't mind at all
If they do this and find terrorists in this country and can stop them before they do something else horriffic, I don't mind at all.
I don't mind at all
I think you have misunderstood my post. I was just saying that one MT might make $16,000 per year at 8 cpl and another MT might make double or triple that. Maybe even more. Being an experienced MT I know that it can depend on many factors, that is what I was trying to express. I'm sorry if you misunderstood.
Realistically, I don't think a new MT or even an experienced MT should anticipate $100K per year. So, if you still want my opinion, my guess would be that at 8 cpl, 40 hour week, you would probably make $30,000 to $35,000. Good luck!
I don't mind your asking--sm
as far as I know, they are still together. They got married one month after his financial obligation to me was ended. It took me a while to get over the anger, because I never even saw it coming, but I guess the anger was mostly at me, for letting myself get into that situation in the first place. I had to forgive him for what he did and the way he did it, and I had to forgive myself for being blind in the first place. I prayed alot and God took me through it. I give thanks every day for what He has given me in return. I AM happy though. Thanks for asking.
really do you mind
if I ask how productive you are with it? Are you editing or transcribing or both? What is a good hourly average lines per hour? Thanks!
Oh, OK.....I did not know that, but ... please sm (if you don't mind)
If you are on a regular page in IE, say on this page rigth here, if you hit ctrl F3 do you get the productivity tools? Maybe I am wrong in what my problem is. When I try to log into Bayscribe from the log in page I get an error that says "No such Account.BPTVer = []. My account has been checked by two others who can get it, but I can't.
Thanks again! It is so nice of you to try to help. I very much appreciate it.
Paula
You can do it if you put your mind to it.
Check out this link - it shows you some samples!!! Good luck! I'm sure you could get the hang of it if you want it bad enough!

Don’t know where my mind was,
know you were talking per mile, not hour. I do not know what the most is he ever made per mile because we have not been married a long, long time but just know am glad he has the job he has, otherwise I would be working my numerous jobs to make a living now with the MTers money steadily declining. I am also glad he did not buy his own truck as 1 coworker tried to get him to. The gas situation went sky high after that and thank goodness he was not involved in that. He loves his job (as do I) and some are just not cut out for that field, same as ours I guess.
Never mind, Sorry, just saw
that you sadi "son" and the person I'm talking about only has a daughter, but the same thing happened to her this morning in a conference call. Must have been the same company. That is very sad
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? sm
Please don't be alarmed right now. I am anxious to know what they say. I had a breast scare a few weeks ago with indented breasts and nipple changes (no discharge). Everything came back clear and normal. PLEASE keep us informed. Do you ever visit the Gab board on this site? I am there every day. Please post your concern over there and we will support you. Plus, I want to know what the mammo says! Thanks!
Kim
if you don't mind my asking??
what do you average your houly salary to be. No IC answers please. I'm talking working 40 hour weeks, no OT, no ASR. I can only seem to get to about $16/hr and I hear all these people on here talking about $25/hr. How in the world do you do it? I'm not being nosey, i'm just wondering if i'm at the low end of the totem pole. TIA 
All in my mind?!?!........
Don't they know where you live? Didn't you know that most of them pay you by where you live? Rural folks do get less pay, and I had a supervisor once tell me that one when I was employed with an MTSO. It would be nice to see someone like you come here and try to get a job for what they pay you in the urban areas. It's all in your mind.
do you mind saying where you went?
it sounds like things worked out good for you :)
