New board idea

I was thinking that maybe a board about scams would be a good idea. Instead of asking "have you heard of this company?" and waiting to hear if anyone has heard anything about it, maybe we could just post if we know that a company is a scam... which has happened to me recently, and wouldn't like it to happen to anyone else. Any thoughts?

I am on board with that idea as well.
I plan on doing that in addition to sending letters to The White House. I feel that if I can get a bunch of letters in and send them in a packet to Obama this will have more of an impact versus sending one by one. Please join me!
You have no idea how much time it takes to run this board! (SM)
Hindsight is always clearer!
You are right - they will get the message sooner or later!

cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...
I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies. Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...
We have one cherrypicker on the account. Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course. She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad.
But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time. I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.
What would you all do? I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account. In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.
My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....
Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!

Word Board=Help Board. NOT a do the math = figure it out yourself=GOOGLE IT!
What is the Main Board for? All general topics seem to get moved to the new gab board.

wrong board - rules are pls use WORD board
I meant to say Job-Seekers Board, not Company Board.
No mssg.
When I go to New MT/Students board I am taken to the Abbreviations board. NM

You put them on the company board, not the main board. They are still there.

Main board is for MT topics. Non-MT goes to the Gab board! nm

wrong board - try word board
.
go to the HOME board and then to Career board on the --sm
left hand side. Inside that is the resume posting site.
here is a link from the New MT board-you might want to read a bit on this board

All word questions need to be posted on the Word board. Please use the correct board to post.

What? State board? This board?
every board is a "communication board" - you are looking at one now!

This is the whole idea
The corporations want it that way-- they don't give a rip about the "middle class". The CEOs just want to be able to buy a new yacht every year, new cars, have several homes all over the country and maybe the world, etc. It's all about GREED. That's why nobody will do anything about illegal immigration. They want to pay their workers as little as possible so it's all profit for them.
What is your idea of
"enough?" How much do you think the job is worth?
An idea
for the businesses that you should contact are the ones where your friend has done business such as bank,church, her place of employment, and any place that her parents were involved in. When we had a fundraiser for someone that I worked with we contacted a local band and a bar with a dance floor to helped raise money for his injuries. They all volunteered their service free of charge. And many people showed up to help him out. Just a thought!
You have no idea.
Let's just keep it there.
Better idea
If you have an experienced MT doing the recruiting, he/she can tell just in a conversation whether the applicant does/does not know his/her business. As you said, you're going to know within the first couple of days whether or not the applicant is going to pan out If you're testing for an MT to do cardiac caths, start a conversation about cardiac caths. All MTs I have ever known love to discuss their trade...if they know it. These extensive tests put out by most companies these days are a horrific waste of time...they don't prove a thing!
Idea
Maybe it's like one website I went to, where it seemed the way to do it was to respond with an e-mail first (pasting a resume into your e-mail and saying what job you were interested in), and then they would respond and tell you what tests they wanted you to take?
I have no idea! -nm

Now there's an idea!

Thank you for that idea. I can do that.
The obvious solution is always right in front of us, right? LOL
I have no idea what they are seeing that I am
Not at all. Good for them if they are getting a better deal at Walmart. Wasn't happening for me.
Have no idea what it could be, but if he has any (nm)
nm
I have them...have no idea why you don't
You might try emailing the moderator or administrator of this site.
one idea
If you are using actual WavPedal software, try this first. Open WavPedal - settings - options - file associations - and make sure .dss is checked (or add file type .dss and check it). Close. Then, right click on your voice file and "open with" and choose WavPedal. Should open. Sounds like your default player for voice files is not WavPedal. I think it will ask you (can't remember off hand) then just choose YES for WavPedal as default for all files with .dss association.
I had no idea. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I have no idea what you mean. nm

Here is an idea
Start out not charging anyone anything but time. Everyone who joins contributes a skill to the organization such as marketing, PR, etc. It costs nothing to do e-mail newsletters, just time and some people to write for it. Online meetings on Yahoo or MSN groups would be nothing to do.
Also getting a website can be pretty cheap if a few members would be willing to design it. Everyone has a friend of a friend who has this business or that. A lot of times, especially in the case of smaller businesses, they are willing to trade small services for exposure and advertising. You would be amazed.
I used to work in Marketing for nonprofits before deciding to stay home as an MT. I also still do consulting work. I am all for a new organization and would love to participate in any way I could to back to representing what "they" were supposed to.
Send me an e-mail. We'll chat.
Huh? what does this mean? no idea.nm
.
Thanks for this idea....sm
is there a way to find out what companies hire SE? That sounds good. What company do you work for if you don't mind me asking. You could e-mail me if you want. Thanks!
You have no idea how much better that
makes me feel! Hopefully mine does the same. I've unplugged it and am leaving it alone for awhile. I found out to fix it the cost will be around $300. I sure hope it works.
I do not know how my supervisor puts up with me sometimes, but she has me set up to work another way until I get this fixed. Thank you all for the help!
any idea
anyone know why it takes so long to get a count on the ichart site? Been happening all week - takes up to a full day and 1/2.
Thanks so much for that Idea! sm
You know I'm beating myself up trying hard to figure out how to do the hard hyphen and hard space so it expands that way and your idea of doing it first then highlighting and entering it is not something I would have ever thought of!!! This works great. Thank you so much for all your help.
I Like your idea
I like your idea.
No idea.
I have a not great account that gets cherry picked into extreme lateness. I don't mind if you cherry pick to get a decent doctor or two after having a ton of crappy ones but to cherry pick out all the good stuff and put the rest of us behind with all the bad ones is just wrong.
