set and example of standards and intelligence because she's representing the company she's working for. She's a manager, not an owner and she's not paying anyone. She's on the payroll too and has the responsibility to make the company look professional and polished.
You're dead wrong on this one.

responsibility?
Everyone has made a bad decision at some point in their lives. That doesn't mean that we deserve to be killed because of it. The responsibility lies with the criminals. They are the ones who do the bad things to innocent people. How many girls are kidnapped and raped who aren't out drinking? Many. Why not talk about the parents of the suspected boy? Where does their responsibility lie? We are criticising Natalee's mother, but what about this boy's father? How could you hide information about your son's actions when he has possibly killed someone?
Your mentality is lacking. If you get in a car and drive to work, does that mean you are just asking to be killed in a traffic accident. And if you are, people should just say Oh well, she chose to drive! That's what she gets. ????
Responsibility
Sorry, but I think Beth should be held accountable and responsible for her actions/words. She is out of control, in my opinion, fueled by her raw emotion and e-mails/letter/cards she feels are supporting her actions. She is supported in her ordeal and I support her. However, she has crossed a line now and she needs to step back and reassess. She seems erratic and just grasping at straws now, saying a lot of stuff in interviews that really makes no sense. I do not know how I would react if I was in her situation so I should not criticize her. I just really do feel that her emotions are too raw now for her to be rational. It is like she is declaring, "I came to Aruba. I found the criminals myself, now prosecute them." What if she eventually finds out she was dead wrong, that her beautiful, intelligent, outstanding daughter was alive when she the mother arrived in Aruba but she drove the investigation to go the way she wanted it to go, the way she felt in her heart/soul was the right way. But, what if she is wrong? What if the investigators dropped what they were doing to catch the real criminals to passify Beth and the media? What if Natalee could have been saved? How will her mother feel then if she finds that out?
let the dr take responsibility
Liability insurance? The doctors are supposed to read over our transcribed reports and when they put their signature on the report, they have taken responsibility. Why should we have to pay for liability insurance?
Where is MTs responsibility in this? Is it always

How about the responsibility of the INDIVIDUAL
You've totally missed the whole point of the article!
Govt responsibility
Totally agree with you. I dont care if some were not prepared..what I care about is now they are hungry, thirsty, homeless..It is the responsibility of our government and the brothers and sisters of America to help other Americans when they need help. I am from NY and I have been through quite a few hurricanes..nothing like what Florida goes through but I do know hurricanes hit sometimes when you are a day or two from your paycheck and really dont have any money to go shopping or rent out a hotel room. It scares me that so many Americans blame the victim and turn a blind eye and deaf ear to Americans in need.
Your first responsibility is to YOUR kids. sm
Since it's obvious this other family is troubled, and also that they will not respect the rules of your family and household, you need to talk to YOUR kids.
They need to know they are safe, and that you will be responding, and they need to know HOW you will respond. Predators use some of the crap these kids are pulling, and your kids need to have an identity strong enough to remain KIND but NOT give in to the other kids' behavior.
I'm going to assume (ouch) that your kids are uncomfortable with the situation. Please let it be a teaching opportunity for them. They know the rules; why are the OTHER kids allowed to break your family rules? They want to be kind; can you teach them also to be FIRM?
Good luck. Your kids are your first priority. You may never even KNOW what in the world is going on with the other kids, let alone be able to do anything about it, but your kids will remember this episode for the rest of their lives, probably. Will they also remember how you taught them to understand and overcome?
Yes, I think it is a responsibility and I mad a promise...
to mom to not ever put her in a nursing home as a young 20-something. As an only child, I followed and kept that promise.
I cared for her for 6 years. It should have been more but I didn't realize she was going downhill so fast. I was very stressed out in her later years as she started to develop a lot of problems including memory problems, but when I look back, I would NEVER, EVER, change my mind. She was happy here with us and although she was having a lot of problems, the only thing I wished for was for her to be comfortable and happy. (She was in a nursing home temporarily for 2 months after she broke her hip and was very unhappy. This was sort of a test to see if she would like it, but she didn't.) I did everything necessary to make her comfortable in her last years.
It was hard, but I kept my promise even though every doctor told me to put her in a nursing home. Thank heavens, I worked for a great company that understood and allowed me to take as many breaks/days off as I needed to care for her. I would never have changed a thing even though I got very worn out during the end myself because she was almost totally bedridden. Still, I loved my mother with all my heart and still miss her even though she died 6 years ago.
I only hope my children would do the same for me unless i have Alzheimer disease. If a parent is unhappy at a nursing home, by all means do what is necessary to make their last days happy. After all, they raised us, and we should return that love.
You need to be patient, be a nurse, doctor, etc. for an elderly parent and if there is none, it could be very, very "unhealthy" for the parent and the child, but I feel we need to make sacrifices for our parents happiness in their later years as they sacrificed for us in our early years. After all, they are the only parents we had, andI I have NO regrets, knowing I did the best I could for her.
Sorry to ramble. I'm still grieving. I wanted her to live to be 100 if possible.We were really close all our lives.
and he as mayor of that city had no responsibility at all?
Such convoluted logic. Believe me, he's doing a great job of pointing the finger of blame and ducking responsibility on his own without any help from you.
collective work and responsibility?
thats insane
ultimately it's the hospital's responsibility but do you want to keep your job?
If you do, you'll make sure the hospital is happy. Not a lot you can do here unless you want to cut a deal with the hospital where you will have a sub work your account for you when you are off. That may or may not fly at the hospital. Another thing you can ask is that they hire a third person to work the account. Of course, that means you risk losing work if she wants more...
The doc who signs off on it has ultimate responsibility.

You chose IC status. Your responsibility. nm

and it is our responsibility to know the account specifics...

This is the responsibility of the MTSO, in my opinion. SM
Go directly to the transcription service or company owner. I have always felt strongly that the person in charge of the particular problem account must address this directly with the physician(s) who are dictating the garbage. For years, I had several local physician practices. Most were excellent dictators, but one in particular was horrible. I put up with it for a few weeks, and then addressed the problems with an outlined specification sheet indicating what information needs to be given in dictation to protect the safety of the patient record, as well as to produce an acceptable medical report. I also indicated that transcriptions requiring repetitive deletions, going back and changing dictation, and constant misspelled words would be charged a higher line rate. This is also the doctor who would give the filled in blanks back to be retyped. These were blanks that were completely inaudible in the original dictation because of excess noise, coughing while saying the words, or laughing with colleagues while trying to dictation. In bold, I also specified PLEASE DICTATE IMPORTANT PATIENT MEDICAL RECORDS IN A QUIET AREA THAT IS FREE OF EXCESS BACKGROUND NOISE TO ENSURE ACCURATE INFORMATION IS BEING RELAYED. If the owner of the transcription company had to type this work, trust me something would be addressed with the dictator. Speak up about this because after all you are the one responsible for producing the report.
Interesting and typical. Accept responsibility for nothing
He's a loser
There's always a reason. The question is is whether people are willing to take responsibility.
and what the heck does "variate" mean?
love and responsibility are sure left out of your assessment.

It's your responsibility to give them their documents on disk/CD!

bushies? Advocating personal responsibility
for one's actions is NOT a political party issue - it is a common sense issue!!! If bashing dishonesty and laziness offends you, then stay off this board. Sounds to me you are the same type of person this lazy slob is.
I would take responsibility for my actions and I would not call citizens of the country
criminals if there is no evidence to hold them and I personally have no evidence to present to the law to hold them. I am not one for the spotlight even without grieving for the loss of my child. I certainly would not get up on world-wide TV and insult the people conducting the search and investigation for my missing child. And I would not be in the frame of mind to get all made up with glitter eye makeup and false eyelashes to tell other countries not to accept "criminals" who the legal system did not have evidence to hold. She is a loon.
These knee jerk bleeding heart liberals could not take responsibility for their
actions if it hit them in the face as it did with Mrs. Twitty. The Arubans are sick and tired of her and frankly so am I. Wash the makeup off your face, take off the false eyelashes and go grieve for your daughter.
Thank you dear!
But, my dear, you see, when you are able to
see another MTs line counts and the job #s that they have done, and how they skip many, many reports, when the work was sent and how the job #s went for each job type, you then KNOW when someone is cherrypicking!!! It is also great that you are able to go into the system and check out the job #s she DID and know that they were the best of the best dictators!! Believe me, it does make a huge difference to those of us who do not cherry pick. The account I work on is relatively small and only 5 or 6 MTs working on the account. When the cherry picker has her two days off, I really, really make great line counts. The rest of the week is a real struggle. I say keep showing the other MTs work.
This is definitely not someone's hallucination; it is a reality and happens all the time. Once an MT gets all the proof she needs, then it is only common sense that she should go to the supervisor to point it out and the situation should be corrected. What I try to do, at times, is go on very early in the morning, around 2:00 AM; do all the "crap" that she left for me plus then be able to get some of the good guys. There have been times where I've been tempted to skip the bad just like her and leave her the bad!! However, then I feel guilty!! Cherry pickers need to be ousted from MT work. Do the job that comes up and be happy about it!!
Then my dear ..
You have no clue about the workings of an inner city. I am not saying walk into bullets or gangs .. what I am saying is that you have no clue how the plantation mentality looks to the rest of this world .. lining up all the wrongs do not make them right and it is downright ignorant to be so obviously insensitive to those who live differently than you do. Mother help us all when there are people like you who have no concern for simple human suffering .. this is not a race issue god blast it .. it is a human issue and we all got here and are going out of here the same damned way.
Hello there my dear
You HAVE deserved it honey. But this post is neither the time or place to discuss your "bonus." (I am chuckling and I think you know why).
My dear, I think you know your beauty is more important to me than any report you could ever type. Perhaps, the next time I drive by, you could be in, um, lets say, your birthday suite? UH OH - I hope my wife don't catch me on here (shaking in my boots).
Smooches and Kisses my lovely.
Frankie Boy
Sorry, my dear
I am sorry you had to share it with so many women that night. It was getting difficult to get 15 gals hands around it.
Believe it or not, my dear...
Until recently MQ was THE best company around - and many of us do not want to "jump ship" just yet - we're trying to figure out how to "take a sad song and make it better" and not have to go to these other truly foul companies that aren't big enuf to pay what MQ pays and benefits MQ has which most other companies can't begin to compete with. Its like New York City - people complain about its problems all the time but nobody wants to leave to go to Podunk, Iowa. Well, we don't want to go to Podunk Transcription Company, thank U very much. MQ has a huge amount of potential and the fact they are going thru changes is to be expected - and we have every right to work together on a solution for us all. So go back to Podunk!
OH DEAR!
Much work! I would like to add ADHD has nothing to do with intelligence and autistics would never be able to speak out a story as you have detailed, or plan a revenge, especially weeks ahead. Her previous environment and genes I think win the cause of her behavior, and sociopath does comes to mind, seriously, and children do and are maturing much earlier now-a-days. . .especially females. 
Thanks dear!!!!nm

Oh dear LOL
 Doc just said, "She takes ginkgo biloba, when she remembers", I needed that today!

Oh dear!!
Yes, veteran MT made a typo on CONTINUE....happens from time to time with rheumatoid arthritis and AGE....still trying to make a decent living....even after a big pay cut for me and fellow account MTs from my current employer without a reasonable explanation. Unfortunately, I do not see the situation changing for the better for any American MT. Have a beautiful Saturday.
Dear RE
I believe you should contact an attorney or Google "free legal advice" and ask these questions. I do think you would still be violating your non-compete even though they pursued you. You should explain that to the company recruiting you and they should understand. Good luck to you.
Dear QA . . .
I understand there are two sides. I have nothing against QA -- really I don't. I feel we all learn and better ourselves from mistakes. However, I think everyone needs to be on the same page and QA would do better to leave out nasty comments when there is no need for them. Really I left a blank while typing an ESL doc that I had only typed 1 time before and QA faulted me for omitting dictation? Since when is leaving a blank for a word or two you cannot understand omitting dictation? And when I questioned in writing the "QA Head" about conflicting feedback she/he never bothered to respond. Do you have any idea how confusing that is? I want to do right by the company and be a good MT but how is that possible when no two QA people follow the same rules? I am the first to admit I am far from perfect but I give it my all. With almost every other MT job I have had I was taken off QA within a week or two. I guess I was already angry because my check was late, this only added fuel to the fire. There are days I feel good and days I am made to feel lower than dirt. I pray this board will always be here for those of us that need to scream and vent. :-)
no, dear, it's all about you and how you - sm
and how you utilize yourself with the knowledge and tools you have accumulated.
sheesh...you just Won't (not Don't) get it.
Oh, dear.
Doctors do not take it kindly when you take a swing at them. (Just ask that unfortunate, long-gone children's dentist I once went to....)
But seriously... take a good deep breath, let it out, then take another one, and remember, it'll all be over quickly. And whatever you do, do NOT watch that needle coming at you!!
Interestingly... I was about your age when I thought I was going to have to change jobs. Of course, back then, I'd been doing MT for about 8 years on typewriters, and I'm not sure they'd invented the word "ergonomics" back then... and the workman's comp carrier laughed in my face, because they hadn't figured out the concept of repetitive strain injuries back then either, except when it came to farm workers using short-handled hoes.... But "girls" sitting at desks? Fuhgeddaboudit. Go fix your lipstick, and shut up. (No, not quite, but close.)
Anyway... keep that left wrist immobilized as much as you possibly can, and watch out that you don't overcompensate with your other hand and make it start hurting too! (I know whereof I speak. Trust me.) Do whatever you can to adjust ALL of your daily movement activities--every little bit helps--and speaking from the point of view of an old geezer-chick, get used to living with pain. 'Cause the older you get, trust me, something hurting is going to be a way of life. You just sort of learn to ignore it after a while. Case in point--that would be me, still transcribing nearly 30 years after I thought I was going to have to quit.
And get that computer arrangement fixed up! :)
Now, Laurie --- if what the others say is what they WANT to, same for you dear...
you're seeing what YOU want to. You're not the authority to say you see him for "what he is". You see him the same as others -- for what you WANT to see in him.
You're no more superior in knowledge than anyone else. It's your opinion versus theirs. LOL
oh puh-leeze, my dear
You don't know what I know, who I am, what I have experienced, and how I got to where I am today. So, don't tell me what I know or don't know.
Save your excuses for Oprah!!!
It's those causes that keep these people in the whole that they pass down from generation to generation. They need to do what Montel Williams said: "Pick yourself up by your boot straps."
Let me leave it at that, before I say something I'll regret.
that much less they have to give us, my dear:)
You'd think they'd have wanted to save to postage on that amount though, especially the two center !!!
Calm down my dear
Now don't be getting yourself so worked up you smear that beautiful red lipstick off your lips.
Dear Franky
That thing is so little, 15 women can't look at it at the same time, let alone grasp it at the same time.
Frankly my dear...
We MQer's are soooo sick of the whining non-MQers who just don't "get it." Sorry if U have so little energy that navigating around our posts is so darn hard on U. Sheesh.
you, my dear, are amazing!
I thought i had browsed around sufficiently in the dqmanage area, and didn't happen upon this little useful discovery -- so thanks a bunch for sharing with us!!
advice /oh dear
First off, my prayers go out to this family! You see a lot of this type of behavior in foster kids, who have seen way to much in their young lives and have been effected to no end.
I wonder if they should not try to place Tater in an inpatient Children's psych unit for a week, to get a total comprehensive work up? They may have a wider base of specialist who can pinpoint, diagnosis then treat Tater along with her family, more so than the psychologist.
Just a thought.
Dear Wendy
Those of us who have been in the business for a very long time know all of the sweat and hard work it took us to get here, and we know that yours will not be an easy road, nor will it be a very accomplished one if you plan to work at home. Hospital- or clinic-based experiences, often hopping from one specialty to the next, is the only way to get proficient at this game, and it offers PRECIOUS LITTLE in the way of monetary rewards, let alone respect.
I agree with Oldster. Best word of advice I can give you, kid, and I don't even know you: "Get out while the getting is good." Find another line of work. You will not regret it. This field? You'll flood the field with your tears. Best of luck to you, young lady.
oh dear, no no no. There are quite a few companies that will do that - sm
They tell you that they will "take you under their wing" and teach you the ropes, and all the while they are still making money and doing a little less work while you do it for free.
Think of it this way, would a lawyer just out of law school work for free just to get hired? Or a doctor that didn't graduate at the top of his class? Or how about an accountant?
No, it's *not* the *new* way of doing things, my dear......
My dear, we ALL have things which
we wish we would've done, wouldn't have done, and misgivings in just about every aspect of life, but this is not a dress rehearsal. This is your life, your children's lives. You have a little girl who DEPENDS ON YOU! to take care of her, to look out for her interests. If you think she is too young to know what is going on, you are mistaken. Adults just don't give children enough credit. They FEEL things, but can't express them, instead they internalize, and becomes a part of their being, in their soul, if you will.
As stated, I had to leave my first marriage, and it was NOT what I wanted, but it was what I NEEDED! Didn't know it at the time, and SCARED, was I scared! But most of all, what I didn't realize at the time was that my children had to PUT UP with ME, sad, crying all the time, angry. I thought I was a good mother, but in actuality, I was an enabler. Always there when he needed me, always dinner on the table, always a clean house, always, always everything to everybody....but not me, and not the mother I wanted to be when I carried my children.
Life is just way too short...
In just about every one of your answers, you have "ifs, ands or buts." Is your situation really going to change? Most likely it will not. One thing it took me awhile to learn in life is that I am the only one I can change, myself, I CANNOT change anyone else.... I am not trying to tell you what to do, I really have a hard enough time living my own life. Just relating to you what I see from this vantage. God bless.
Dear Mr. Shatner
You're very funny! Unfortunately, some of the folks on this board are not TV viewers, or they are not old enough to remember you or Rescue 911.
Shame on you for toying with people's sympathy. Get your hiney out of here.
