I see you are caught in
already.
In some offices you continually run out of work - and MQ gives you
no policy in writing as to what your rights are or what they will
provide in the way of "buffer". All they do is say "we can give you more
accounts".
Well, sitting in front of a computer 24 hours a day and still not finding
enough work on dozens of accounts is not being a good business
person.
Having an account or else built in protection for times when there is no work
is BEING A GOOD BUSINESS PERSON.
Even if you are an employee, and there is no work, suddenly you find you
are RESPONSIBLE for the huge medical insurance bill - for several pay periods "because you didn't meet your line requirement"
I'm telling you, this company needs to either standardize it's politicies and
be up front with what they do, or forever go through the system as being
utterly slippery and underhanded, and deserve the reputation they so
deservedly have right now. Of course they have their own agenda and could
care less about posters like me who have been through the drill until I was ground
down into the ground and broke, because they are "using" MTs to position themselves into the world of VR. And it will have been done on the backs
of many MTs who lost it all thinking at some point MQ would finally "do right"
They haven't and probably will never.
So my advice is, if you can't get some policies in writing from whereever possible
(New Jersey just flips you off, so don't waste your time there), don't invest too
much in this company as you will be at their mercy and feel like you are never on solid ground financially. It is not a company to work for if you need the
money for a living. It is merely to pick up pocket change.
What caught my eye was sm
"it's a teaching hospital". Been there, done that. Get ready for ESLs that change every year. You might like it, but you'll earn every cent. On the plus side, you'll learn so much more than with a nonteaching hospital, which is good. Let us know what you decide.
AVG has caught several
viruses. I also run online scans on sites like Trend Micro, Panda, etc., on occasion just to double-check the effectiveness of AVG & make sure it hasn't missed anything. I've been using AVG free for about 10 years I guess and, like I said, AVG has caught several viruses and I've never once had a crash or lost anything in all these years due to viruses, and I've turned all my friends and family onto AVG free & they've never had any issues with viruses, so I have to say that I'm extremely happy with it, especially considering it's free... Doesn't get any better than that! ;)
Absolutely, because if they are caught twice, they've probably done it

Maybe I caught him at a bad time or maybe he is
going through some personal problems in his life that he is carrying over into the workplace. In any event, I could not foresee a good working relationship with this individual in the future.
You are offshore and got caught.

Missed most of it but what I caught was fun!!
t
My son is only 7, so he hasn't caught on yet
that I'm not talking to him. He still says "what" all the time...lol. So, I'll look at him and say, "do you know what flagginationalization means?" Cracks him up every time.
caught off gaurd
I started with a new company about 40 days ago - I trained on one account for about three days and the was given two docs to do with really no training only a manual. I have been doing them for about 35 days. My first QA score about ten days or so after the start of these docs was 96%, my second on 5/20 was 98%. I really have not gotten any negative feed back other than some format issues which were worked out quickly. I have been meeting my TAT, proofing and covering what they asked. There has not been any complaint that has been brought to my attention that I can pinpiont. This past weekend, I got sent a whole bunch of work to help cover someone on vacation, my work was pushed back by my QA and supervisor. Needless to say my accounts were not very happy and were not told in advance. This evening I get a call from the supervisor saying that due to a call from the docs office about poor TAT and quality she was removing me from the account. I have an email this same supervisor sent me from the docs office dated June 5 saying the account was finally looking up. I asked the supervisor to pinpoint the issues but she was not able to at this time and told me to hold tight until she gets some more info. I don't know what to think. Any opinions or suggestions???
I have no idea about his being caught but
working from home I kept my eye peeled for the report and checked every so often. You know the time frame as far as dictating- what 24 hours? This was 8 months later. If he did to me, well you know the rest. Like I said, he personally called me from another sister hospital 2 times and very incensed that I would even approach mediation at the hospital. Of course when I took my story there along with the documentation, he refused to comment on it, denying all. I at that time could not afford to lose my job so I could not press on with it. Called several attorneys and each one said no one would be on my side being as this was an elective procedure I chose and a face lift at the same time so dead end for me.
I don't think everything is caught - like the job resumes
with addresses like Mumbai, Hawaii. Could it be a name, not a place?
Sweet. Someone caught it ;-)
All is write with the world now.
Seriously, though, can we let the poor woman vent without picking on her grammar?
Thank goodness you caught it and not QA
thanks for the chuckle
LOL.... caught me off guard...
nm
I hope she's caught too...
I'm also 40-50 miles from this woman. I hope she's caught and put away for this. Thanks so much for warning us that this is going on.
It just caught me off guard. I really wasn't trying to
criticize. Sorry!
I only caught bits and pieces of it, but sm
I didn't see anything offensive that should generate such a stink. My BIGGEST gripe is with people who come out hating something, expressing an opinion about something they have never even SEEN!
The little bit I saw, it looked like a man dealing with "normal" family situations -- let's face it, it is not unusual nowadays to have a gay son, or become addicted to prescription meds, etc. -- ministers are not immune. I am a Christian and love the Lord, and I was not offended by anything on the show. And even if I was, it is not my place to tell others what they can and cannot watch. We all get to "vote" with the flick of a channel.
Thanks, will do. About 3 nights ago my Norton caught
Did you notice the Feb 3 date? That would be this coming Friday. Wonder how our various transcription companies are going to fare? ugh. I hope they don't crash.
My husband caught a doctor...sm
actually dictating in a hospital and heard him say at the end to scratch all that and started over! He felt so bad for the poor MT who would be doing him. He also was an extremely slow dictator, so it probably took her forever! He's also heard some fast dictators and would let them know after they finished that someone has to actually transcribe that. Go hubby!
Like a good MT, I caught MY mistake and

She took the safe way out. Rocky was fake and got caught
while the average joe is head over heels for this girl. Could go either way, he might enlighten her in that a good guy doesn't have to be a total hunk. Then again, she may be so shallow not to see that. I think her mom did make an impression on her decision though.
hahaha! I've been caught red handed!! lol

Caught a bit of it on Fox ticker but no live coverage..
yet. Where do you live? How horrible for you and all the kids to have to go through a nightmare like this :( Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Food/medicine caught in throat
This very thing happened to me while eating pizza one day - I ended up in the ER because I could not get it out or to go down. The ER doc ordered a chest x-ray (do not know why) and then sent me home with some Prilosec saying that I had esophagitis. It was a rainy day - two dogs chased my car home and I was afraid to get out - plus I had my sister's four children that week, besides my own two. I took a Prilosec and then had to have my husband rush to the pharmacy for some Benadryl - I was allergic to the dye - then, and I don't recommend this, I got a long-handled teaspoon - bent it and stuck it down my throat - retrieving the pizza dough. I still had esophagitis because my throat was now inflamed from the pizza and the spoon handle - I put the chewed up dough in a ziploc and returned it to the ER for an explanation - of course they thought I was crazy - but you do what you have to do. I have found that many doctors are either incompetent or on drugs (cocaine, meth, and others that they either sniff or smoke). That is why there is such a high malpractice rate (but that's another story). In fact, I see a doctor now who is a drug-abuser - but he prescribes what me or my family needs when we go to see him and we get well - but boy is he high - nice, though. That's my take on the ibuprofen in your throat.
Thanks, MOMT. I have been known to sometimes get caught up trying to make my point, but... SM
I didn't think I was being rude. Thanks again, I was starting to take it a little personal, but some people are just sensitive, I guess.
There is a $150 fine if caught working at home-sm
w/o business license. From 2002-2005 the fee was $50. Then city changed it and now have to take copy of tax return to City Hall and the fee is based on previous year's income. Woman in my Chamber of Commerce group was turned into the city by a rival and was fined.

Out of her dress today (instead of out of her dressing) but I caught it when proofing.

Same here. Do a load a day. Wash in the morning. Dry it after dinner. Always caught

My line count went from 1200+ to <800 and I never caught up. I did change jobs ;) nm

I have had pills get caught going down from not enough water and they have left a residue that burne

One time I typed "Tp and his wife are retired and travel in their rectovaginal." Caught it tho

LOL! Hush woman, I caught myself typing "the incision was thoroughly irrigated with normal swelli
when I'm just too pooped to type everyone gets "prepped and raped in a sterile fashion" (that one I already got on autocorrect just in case!
Um have you read any of your posts and the other posts? I think everyone DOES believe me..you
Same thing with nationals. You work all the time to keep the account caught up when others dont work
and then when they decide to put a whole lot of extra people on your accounts and run you out they could care less about how much you worked.
Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't
I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.
Clinton is intelligent??? If he was intelligent he wouldn't have gotten caught!
eeeeeeeeew
There has been a lot of posts about them
over the past couple of months, few good. If searching with TRS isn't bringing up anything, search using the full name.
regarding most of the posts below
I just have to say that "redneck grit", I think is how one poster described it, does not only live in trailer parks! I know, for a fact, a used-to-be-nice neighborhood full of new homes--houses--where there are a bunch of rednecks. I'd rather live in a nice trailer park than in that neighborhood full of houses. Regardless of where or what you live in, there is always gonna be the not-so-desirables in the neighborhood-regardless! And most of the time, they live right on the main road or right at the entrance..go figure!
not ALL posts are MQ...this is not..I am not..
you are just a slammer to slam...maybe YOU are the MQ person and that is why you are so mean and slam...afterall...not every post on this board is for or about or beause of MQ there are lots of other companies out there..good and bad
To below posts about MT pay and such
Just wanted to say my piece. Sure an MT can make money at 7.5 cpl. Sure many MTs can type 14,000 lines in a week and bring home 4K or more a month. SURE. The point is, however, WHY should we have to work that much? If we are not newbies and have all this experience under our belts, and not to mention a high standard of quality, WHY should we have to take a job paying 7.5 cpl? WHY. Am I not worth more than the MT who has just graduated from school? Yes! WHY should I not make more money? So, the attitude of most MTs these days is simply because we are not valued for the experience and quality that we bring to our companies.
You can't please everyone, don't let the posts get to you....
Most of us here are happy.
MAP - are you on AIM?
Thanks, everyone, for your posts. I just
don't know what to do, and I probably should just wait til the holidays are over before making a decision. Yes, I wish MTs would understand that we HAVE to mark their errors. We get QA'd, too, down the line in the food chain! I honestly don't ever mark the small stuff - that's depressing to me, too. Just an endless blurb of really horrible quality work - major errors, and not blanks! And yet I'm supposed to not stop and "really proof the work - just the blanks and push it thru. Its horrible. Occasionally I get some nice work, and I have faith again in the MTs, but more often its pure garbage, and American garbage, I might add. Not trying to start anything, but I seriously wish the quality of MTs in the USA could pick up a bit. Not to mention the attitude of some - not all - some newer MTs - they are vicious when you try to mentor. So there is no mentoring - just fix the work for them and push it thru. Drugs spelled phonetically, wrong body parts, you name it! Oh well. I think I have left myself no choice but to transcribe again! I miss it so! And it really doesn't save on the arms, as 1 poster felt. I am using the foot pedal and keyboard just as much, but all sporadically, not a smooth flow of typing. Its not all that great a job, that's for sure. Oh well Thanks, my fellow MTs!
Old posts say bad. nm

your posts
The above poster was correct - you could have and IMO should have just not posted. When there is a post about something I'm not interested in, I just skip it.
But people like you have to be nasty and spread your venom everywhere. What about a little common courtesy and just leave the Soprano fans alone?
OMG - Best 2 posts on here EVER!!

Thanks EVERYONE for your posts! I
really appreciate it. Guess I have a lot of soul-searching and financial planning to do this weekend!! Now, if only I was off...
posts
They were replying to posts from quite a while back and just seemed to be stirring up trouble, for example the post with subject of "BLINDED".
Most of the posts are ... sm
because people don't have work. I wonder if you should switch jobs. What if you didn't have any work at all and could not feed your sick child (grandchild), whatever... It is a shame you can't work for a company that allows you flexible hours and can understand that you need a day off, too. Next time, make your coworker do the electives on holidays. JMO Cheer up!!!!
