OMG! You are a riot! Maybe they should give you 19 cpl and run a huge corp on a penny?
Posted By: Yep, you'd be unemployed then on 2005-07-18
In Reply to: So I am the one doing the labor and get 8 cpl. Frank and all the managers - Go figure
and screaming poverty! And if you work for 8 cpl, well, then that's YOUR problem! You take peanuts for pay, and then complain about it! Go figure.

A cent more per line... we are talking a penny here people - a PENNY. SM
How does that make it worth it in your mind? You pay $298 for a certification test that is slanted in their favor - you have to memorize their rules! And then you a whole penny more per line?
I would hope that you have enough self-respect to believe that you are worth more than a penny more per line!
Putting a real penny in those penny loafers! nm

That's a riot!
Hi,
Thanks for posting that. It's good belly laugh material. Sadly, it kinda approaches some of my hospital background until I became an IC MT. Would never, ever go back.
At the last hospital, at first conditions were great and the staff respected, but then the Director of Nursing left and things went downhill fast: I once heard a nurse manager referring to staff as "comodities", and as such were easily replaced. Grrrrrrr! It wasn't many weeks after that that I left.
OMG! What a riot! nm

Your "handle" is a RIOT!!!!
No clue on your dictatphone question, but your name SLAYS me!...LMFAO!!!
Thanks for sharing that - what a RIOT!
Can't stop laughing!

MT Corp
Anyone know anything about them? Just took their test.
MT Corp
I found them online. Go to their website.
Amherst/Corp
I know of at least 3 MT's that have written/emailed Corp about the work situation at Amherst and Foxboro and not one of them every rec'd a reply. One of the girls had been terminated for lack of work and MQ left a message on her answering machine to say that she was terminated and to make arrangements to return her equipment. The thing about this is that she had been in and out of the hospital, had made numerous calls and faxes to Foxboro to update them about the situation, had been with MQ P/T for the last 7 years, so they knew that she was a reliable MT but yet do to the endless lack of communication at that office, they had the nerve to call and leave a message to terminate her. She wrote letters to everyone from the Foxbor office to Human Resources to the President himself and never heard a workd from anyone--so yes I would think that Corp has been told about Amherst/Foxboro but I really do not think that they care one way or the other. Life goes on and they can hire 10 new people to replace her and continue to flood the accounts so that we are always out of work--just like today
former corp headchopper
1. They want you to resign so when they don't have to pay unemployment.
2. Turn in your computers so that when they file BK, have more assets.
3. WTH knows......
It easy being an S-corp
other poster said "Reading all info gives me a headache, members, stocks, annual meetings, and so on." It's easy. Your attorney sets it up. You are the only shareholder. You have an annual meeting where you are the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. They have a standard form for your annual meeting and you sign it. Simple, really.
Sounds like Rodney King after he wreaked havoc and caused a great race riot.
Quit calling people FOOLS and then asking if we can't get along.
RE: Consumer Credit Corp.
Are they the same as Consumer Credit Counseling Services? You might want to check with this service in your city. I used CCCS many years ago, and they were very helpful. They were very strict with budgeting, but they explained everything before I agreed to their requirements. I also attended classes when I could. They also have a toll-free number: 1-866-331-2227. Hope this helps.
Does anyone have a name of a person to email at Corp for MQ about this.
:
Quest used to be part of MQ corp
in some fashion or other, I remember when they tried to get all MQ employees to sign up for it. Just thought I'd mention it.
MT Co owned by Hospital corp.?
How many MT companies are owned by hospital corporations or the hospital corp have a piece of MT companies? I ask this because some hospitals are only allowed to use certain MT companies. Is this a way of keeping wages down and/or them getting more $? Isn't there some kind of rule where doctors can't refer patient to a facility that they have part ownership of. Shouldn't this apply also?
Just wondering

Consumer Credit Corp. ? Anyone have any info? (sm)
I seem to have some high balances on a couple of credit cards and am curious as to whether their claim for negotiating a lower interest rate is valid. It would certainly help me pay these off quickly.
They claim they negotiate these lower rates, set you a payment schedule, disperse the money as agreed upon to the creditors and there is no charge to you. I am sorry, but I am a bit dubious. Their web site shows BBB logo on the bottom, that does make me feel a little better about it.
Any input appreciated. Am NOT looking for a free ride, just checking out my options so please no flaming.
BEWARE DELL COMPUTER CORP!
 Computer under warranty and the modem went bad. Called tech support and I told them the modem was bad (I am not a computer idiot), but went through everything with them anyway. Of course, they could not help and stated that I had to go through software support before I could be sent a new modem under the warranty. The first thing you get in software support is a salesperson. I told her this was NOT a software problem but I had been told I had to go through software support before I could get a new modem. It cost me $54.23 for a one-time software support problem. Before I did this, I asked her if I would receive a refund if this was determined not to be a software problem, which I already knew it wasn't. She said,'YES, just call this phone number back and give us your case number and we will issue a refund'. So like an idiot, and because I happen to trust people, I paid. I called them right back to advise that software support determined I needed a new modem and to please issue a refund."OKAY - we will issue a refund' the girl says. Now after 2 months I still have not received a refund and the 'refund supervisor' tells me they cannot issue one because I did receive software support. She says they will 'counsel' the girl that lied to me. I told her I never would have gone through software support if I had know that, and if I had not been LIED to, because the new modem only cost $14 if I had purchased it outright so why would I pay $54 to get a free $14 part???? DELL LIES! They just lost my business. I can afford the $54, but it is the principle of the thing. I hate the way big corporations can lie to you and get away with it. My grandfather owned a small grocery store. If someone called to ask the price of ground beef and an employee told them a price that was lower than the actual price, he would have sold it to that customer for that amount. He would not have said,'Sorry but you have to pay the correct price and I will COUNSEL the employee'. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO COMMON DECENCY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE????
you another penny or two, as will working only the weekend
s
sounds like its the corp money grubbing middle men
If we could get rid of them (do not know if that is possible at this point), we would have happier, higher paid MTs, and better quality work for the hospitals. What they must think of us with the quality of work they are seeing. IF only they knew we are backed up against the wall with everything based on production, lowered pay rates, AND limiting reports being sent to QA. Everyone is losing here.
They bought Dictaphone Corp, and recently Focus. nm

Mine cost almost $200 and worth every penny
If you are working with sound files, this is the way to go. Can digitally remix and fix these using their software.
Used to be CMT - Sorry I let it go. A penny is a LOT...@1000 lines a day, it's $2,580 a year - I&
I can think of a lot of things I could do with an extra $2,580 a year - a great vacation, a down payment on a used car, new office equipment, or tons of supplies for my hobbies. I was an original grandfathered CMT - but it took a lot of medical conventions, journal reading, and paperwork to keep it up. I kept my CMT for 14 years. Then in one of the hardest years of my life, while concentrating on some overwhelming personal concerns, I lef it go because I didn't want to take the time to fill out the paperwork. I regretted that the very next year. I have worked for MTSO's who paid a premium, and some who didn't. So some years it would not have done me any financial good. I don't think the MTSO I work for now pays extra for CMT, but I know they value it. I think I will start carrying my AAMT Book of Style around with me for a few months, and then sit for the certificate again. But I emphasize that IF your MTSO pays more, it is a no-brainer to go for it, in my PERSONAL CASE I will do it for my own satisfaction. Everyone may not agree with everything in the Book of Style, but it is a good thing to start from a foundation that makes sense. You have to choose one, and the Book of Style is available and makes sense. Anyway, again, a penny is a lot ... in most cases at or more than 10 percent - who doesn't want a 10 percent raise? Wise
offshoring - like the docs need to save a penny

Penny wise and pound foolish
Cheap ones don't save in voice files. They're hard to use so most likely your doc will not bother to pause or rewind for dictation. You may save some money now but you will end up wasting more time to decipher the recording. The best one is Olympus DS5000... every word can be heard clearly with that.
I agree, Frizz-Ease is the best. Worth every penny. nm

Stay way from Penny Talk - you will constantly be disconnected..sm
It was nothing but a big mess. Everytime I tried to pound off a job, it would disconnect me, and then charge me the 69 cents to reconnect, which I ended up doing about 50 times a day. Not an option for any MT. I have always used Vonage and have had no problems. If all else fails, stay with onesuite.com until you can find a permanent unlimited long distance plan. Good luck!
A big waste of effort and money. You won't make 1 penny more.

Sure could. It was a nickel and a penny. Then they made King Size Cokes that you SM
had to pay a dime for. Cigarettes were 28 cents. You put in a quarter and a nickel (the machine) and you got a pack of cigarettes with two pennies in the cellophane. Ugh. I'm really telling on myself here.
"Happy Birthday toooo youuuu dear Penny.
Hap Hap peeeee birthday tooooo you.
I think I would just send an email and say, I know it is a system problem, and I have been available as schedule and waiting around, but since I did have prior plans that cannnot be cancelled, I will have to sign off my regular time. Perhaps, I can add a few minutes on consecutive days to try and recoup. (this shows your commitment but HEY!!!
Amen, and I will add one more thing. If I had a penny for all the times I've heard, "just a ty

oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."
YUP, huge fan!!!!

OMG, thanks!! That would be a huge (sm)
mistake personally for me, as I do not know how I would make out with the kids, and then to go through all that, train, and not have it work. Will look elsewhere. Thanks for the input!!

the SEP IRA is a huge deduction...
but I can't say that I've seen people frequently posting they take $10K in deductions. That also means they spent $10K. You may be imagining that. Maybe do an archive search and then try to repost and contact them? As has been frequently said on this post, the only difference between IC and SE is an IC pays another 7.5% self employment tax but then takes deductions. Don't see how that adds up to 10 grand.
I smell a huge rat
Is your husband up to no-good with this loser? First of all any "my baby's daddy" situation has scumbag written all over it. Second of all, if your husband doesn't mind being used by this lazy bum for a free place to live, he has to be getting something out of the bargain. I'd be doing some serious checking around if I were you.
Meanwhile, you're right to keep this piece of crap away from your kids. If your husband likes him so much let him live with this waste of oxygen alone.
Good luck.
So what if it's with huge templates....
600 lines an hour is 600 lines an hour whether it's straight typing or using templates. I WISH I had huge templates.
Anyone here Bayscribe? Have a huge ?
 for you. When you hit SUBMIT and go into the spell check, and say there's a spelling error it picks up (for example, it's a medicine that I need to look up and verify), is there ANY WAY I can do this without having to completely close down the spell check, go to another window, look up the word, and then re-hit SUBMIT and spell check again?
I've still new to Bayscribe, but so far this has been a huge time eater-upper. For some reason it won't let me do anything but close up the spell checker, look up the word, and then re-spell check (and of course it doesn't remember any of the fixes I've already made so I need to go back through them again).
Ideas??????????? THANK YOU!!
Well there is already a huge thread...
Why keep it going and going? If you all are just now realizing that AHDI is against the MT, then have you had your head in the sand the past few years or what? Get a grip! Life is what you make it! This OP obviously wants to keep bringing it up and bringing it up blocking the entire board with this crap.
I got rid of my HUGE desk...sm
i use a 20 inch widescreen laptop and i just ordered a very small rolling desk. i use wireless keyboard, mouse, and headphones. that way, I can roll my office outdoors when the weather is nice or in my bedroom or any place I will be comfortable as I suffer from chronic back problems.
You can't. It's a huge ripoff.
It sucks plain and simple. If you're not terribly interested in making enough money to pay the bills it might be okay for you. Not for me.
We have a huge 4 day celebration in our little town
There is something going on from tonight right through until the fireworks on the 4th. There is a street dance, a bean hole bean supper, a lobster bake and just tons of stuff going on.
Our town is only population 7500, but the celebration has grown to over 30,000 attendees for the 2 hour parade, followed by fun, games, entertainment and music in the park and then fireworks that start at 9:00 and last for hours. It's great fun!
I'm lucky too. I live just a mile from the festivities, so I'm home for a long time while people are still waiting in traffic. The traffic goes smoothly though. The events have always been very well organized with our school bus drivers giving free shuttle bus rides.
Happy 4th everyone!
