There are probably reasons that you'll never know regarding why certain decisionare made. The bottom line it is still the responsibility of the company so see that all the work gets done.

The best and most qualified QA person they had left. nm
I left another company because the owner sent out
an email to people she felt confident would defend the company on another website against flames (and my name was on her list) asking us to keep up with the screen names of the people who had negative attitudes. The purpose was to give this list to the recruiter who would then black ball the hiring of these people or get rid of the ones who were already employees.. After reading this agreement, I get the feeling they want something similar. One thing I learned a long time ago is that you cannot control what other people feel, say, think or do.
I turned notice the same day.
I recently left a company (sm)
and lost mine, but this company is notorious for doing this. Worst company I ever worked for. One regret I have is not leaving sooner when the writing was clear on the wall. Good luck.
You misunderstood - I left the bad company...sm
You misunderstood the post, evidently, or might have possibly bought into your company's hype. We had plenty of "indoctrination" about India where I worked.
I tried to avoid job-hopping, but after 2 years of abuse, it was time to go. I could not make quotas required because I was getting all the crap work that no one else could transcribe ALL the time, not some of the time; then the benefits were reduced every time we turned around, and that I depend on with a terminally ill spouse.
When you start messing with people's money, whatever job you're in, you're going to lose employees. If you have a good Indian-based or owned company, you are one of the few I've ever heard of, and I'm happy for you. As for this MT, I refuse to work for them. No matter what, they are taking work from the U.S. MTs that need and want to work.
To those who recently left MDI-MD...are you happy with your new company...sm
and if so would you care to share the name? I have stuck with them this far, but the work load is just no better and I am going to have to leave. I just do not know where to go. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA
Just hit Alt+Shift+left arrow on line 1 and it will go to the left margin. Otherwise,
you need to use a numbered list style to do it every time. Each version is different, but you may already have a numbered list style in yours that stays at the left margin. Just assign a keyboard shortcut to that style.
You do not need the 1099. You just need to report the income. Report the company/person ...sm
to the IRS for not sending out the 1099.
I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
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.
When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
The person MTSO pays is the person who

One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t

The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers

Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

COMPANY INQUIRIES belong on Company board, please!

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
Not right now as seems everyone has left
due to the line counting rip off issue. Otherwise do run out of work tons of times.
That why you left?
x
you left out one
>>>How darn hard it is to quit. I have tried everything. Patches, gum, Wellbutrin, Zyban, cold turkey, etc.
You had the dream, but you didn't have the drive. You have to want it badly enough to stick with it NO MATTER WHAT.
I'm talking from personal experience as a former 2-1/2 pack per day smoker.
Last cigarette was May 6th, 1992. Quit cold turkey.
Did you get your pay when you left?nm
zz
I should have said "I left him and TOOK the
baby, the dog, the IBM and the dictaphone! Eek! Sounds like I left them WITH him! No way! 
What - that you left 24 and QA was able to get 16 of them? LOL

I left because of it
Unprofessional emails and phone calls.
Nope. I ain't takin' it. I respect myself more than that. It was the attitude of everyone in the company I came in contact with. Unbelievable.
Getting out of MT, I have left MT
because of the reasons stated below. Because I was a good ER MT, I received all the crappy dictators, accounts, you name it. Even told the MTSO that I was getting burned out with all of the crap, but six months later, I came to the conclusion that getting an ulcer was not what I wanted for my dedication. Tried four or five different companies, and as a poster said below, they lied about everything (accounts, lines, ease of use of program/software, amount of work, etc.) So I'm gone. Kind of miss the medical transcription work I did but do NOT miss the BS that comes with it. They used me until I couldn't bear it anymore.
Yes....I just left my MT job ....
I relate with these comments 100%. I worked for a great service with a great owner for the last 10+ years. First started out in 1989 making great money ( and on a typewriter) with decent turn-around-time and simple common-sense formats. Over the years, the Turn Around Time has decreased, the formats have become a maze of ever-changing rules, and as others have stated...no money! I might as well get a job that is less wear and tear on the body and mind. "Chained to the computer" described the job well. I resigned a few weeks ago what had become a sweat-shop job. Seems like instead of the computer making the job better, it has become worse. Someone mentioned they heard it said MTs were making too much money. That is eerie because I remember hearing that comment 15 years ago and I tossed it off as sarcasm. Now I wonder. This job is nothing like it used to be. So, as stated I QUIT!
There was something you left out in
your post. What about the possibility that this person makes good money because they just guess and "fill in the blanks"? Or maybe they leave a lot of blanks so that they can do more work?
I have come across this before. Not all MTs who make good money are getting good money because they are good at their jobs. Some pad their lines, and some just make up stuff to fill in the blanks. To all of those GOOD MTs out there who struggle to make the money they once used to make, don't let people put you down as unworthy because they think they are better than you.
I left my job too
After 7 years and I should have left sooner. Their VR and platform were awful (Spheris) I was making half of what I used to. I have not gotten away from VR but I have 2 jobs where at least I can be more productive. I kept waiting for things to improve -I thought if I just worked on it it would happen- now I feel a lot of the stress is gone.
Thanks, what was left of my sanity has been...
restored! 
I'm beginning to wonder if that's all there is left is
crap dictation. Most of us say we're doing the crappy dictation and ESLs. So the good stuff is really going overseas or to VR? Or are there people here who get the good stuff all the time, which is why they make good money and we don't?
If you are just looking to align left or...
To align (left, right, or justified) you can either set the page up before you start typing by going to Format, then Paragraph, Indents and Spacing. You will see a General section that says alignment. This is where you choose how you want it set up. If you want to do this after you are finished typing, highlight all text that you want to format. Right click. The drop down box will give you the option of Paragraph. Choose Paragraph. This will bring up that same box that shows Indents and Spacing. Go to the General section where you see alignment and then choose which option you want (left, right, justified). This will then apply it to the text you have highlighted. Hope this helps.
no hair left
i hate to tell you but it doesn't get any better. been with them for over 3 years -- i still have my hair, but have lost my sanity!!
I've left MT too
Good for you!
I just left China
Actually, I just left China. Poor old souls. Not many pretty women in China.
I needed to get home to the states to see all the beautiful women. I felt like I was intoxicated when I came through the door at Medquist and saw all my beautiful gals.
If acct is on ASR, what is left for MTs
is the worst of the dictators that have always and will always be a problem. The best speakers are put on ASR to the machine can under stand it. They've got you. It is no faster that using expansions. There is no production increase, so there should be no decrease in MT/ME pay. THAT WAS THE DEAL! I will go back to cut and paste an old post that says what happens.
Think of them as right and left arrows.
Think of them as arrows on a number line.
<__5__6__7__8__>
If the arrow is pointing right, it's greater than. If the arrow is pointing left, it's less than. Think L (left) for Less than.
The left Menu....
The left Menu is actually a javascript for fast loading of pages. Your browser's scripting is disabled.
Go to "Tools -> Internet Options..." from the main menu of Internet Explorer.
Change to the "Security" tab
Select "Custom Level".
Make sure "Enable" is selected under "Active scripting"
Restart the browser.
If above doesn't work, run some Spyware or Anti-virus, because most of the viruses and Trojans stops the javascript in first place.
Yea!!!!! I found one - man had one left!!!!sm
Thanks for all your help - if I had not found one - I would have definitely checked out those Amish horses. Thanks to all for your comments. Just found out Papa John is going to start building these again after the first of the year.
With the national I just left,
you need to basically double your production in order to break even with what you earned before by transcribing. And they're doing VR with the better dictators so only the worst dictators are left. And yes, they overhire, as well.
I'll never go with a national again. Was the worst experience I ever had. Give me a smaller company any day. They seem to treat people better.
Email left...thanks!
It's to your left on this board. :) nm

"Boards on the Left"
I dont' have any boards on the left. All I have are "Top", "Home", and "Contact" which stay on the left and scroll with me. If I go to "Home", I get a list of boards but not all of which are mentioned in posts, such as "Easter" and "States". Why am I missing boards, and how can I get "boards on the left". Thank you for your time!!
Now I'm really feeling left out...still can't here anything.
If you left him, it would not make you
It would make you sensible. So your needs and wants mean nothing? Daring to fulfill them makes you selfish? But it's OK for HIM to do what HE wants, right?
I don't understand you. You're changing your tune now, big time. The guy does anything he pleases, walks all over you, and you take it like a timid church mouse. Then you decide you want to do one thing and he throws a fit (and not the first time, either). You offer a solution to the "problem" you have just created, but that's not good enough for him because the real problem is that you are daring to have a life on occasion outside of him. He is manipulating you and controlling you. And if you think your kids aren't seeing the dynamics of this, you are sadly mistaken. If you have girls, they will think it's normal for a man to treat them that way. If you have boys, they will abuse their own wives, just as you are being abused.
And as for getting another man, sometimes you can go from the frying pan into the fire. Why not go it alone for a while and find out who you really are?
I know you don't want to hear this, but you are being used, abused, and brainwashed. I only hope you wake up in time.
Hi PP - there are still 2 boxes left....sm
