Looks like integrity doesn't belong in their title either

NOT necessarily does post belong on GAB BD
The Main Board and the Gab Board are definitely for discussion of a movie and/or healthcare.....The GAB board is not for any subject (so they have said here at MTStars) relating to MT work......or politics and religion.....Think the Main Board is also not for politics and religion posts also.....
But Administration could clarify this for us here..........and have in the past numerous times.
Oops. worth OF catch up and wants it ASAP.

Doesn't sound fair or worth it at all, to me. (sm)
Hi Hayseed,
I definitely know where you're coming from. First of all, I never heard of being on a pager for transcription. Especially if you work for a big company, which you would think have people who work a graveyard shift. I can see it for certain circumstances, for instance during normal working hours, or if you work for more than one company, and they're paging you to let you know there's tons of work or something. But if you've just put in a full day of transcribing (which I think for most of us is much longer than a standard 8-hour day!), then by all means you need to be able to get a good night's sleep.
Any supervisor worth the big bucks they're getting paid should be told what this is doing to you. But it sounds like someone is taking advantage of what sounds like a very strong work ethic that you have, and if you give 'em an inch, they'll take a mile.
Back in the old days when I concurrently ran a small horse-transporting service in addition to transcription, I was 'on-call' 24/7. After nearly running myself ragged too many times, thinking I could save all the horses in the world that had colic and needed emergency surgery at U.C. Davis, I finally had to draw a line somewhere and know when to say 'no'. One time, after working a full day in the office, then getting called at 6 pm to take a horse with a twisted intestine to UCD for surgery, I finally made it back home and into bed at about 3 AM, and had to be at work at 8 AM. And then the phone rang. It was the SAME vet that had just sent me to UCD earlier that evening! I hated saying no, because it put him and everyone else in a real bind, but I knew that I just couldn't physically do it.
Eventually I got better at knowing what I could do and what I couldn't, and it really did help my state of mind immensely, especially once I started getting 6-8 hours of sleep per night, again!
Anyway, I think you were totally within your rights and thinking very clearly when you emailed them to say you wanted to get rid of the pager. If you only got paged once in a blue moon, and got BEAUCOUP BUCKS for your time when you did the STAT work, it'd be one thing. But to be paged to the point of being totally sleep-deprived and feeling like you're losing it, is quite another.
I'm amazed that an employer would do this to you. Is it always the same person that pages you, or are there many, and they all think they're the ONLY one paging you? Whatever. Either way, I think those middle-of-the-night STATS are why the Graveyard Shift was invented, and if that's not your shift, then they should be paging someone else.
So don't feel guilty for having to put your foot down and say enough is enough. You should probably tell them a lot of the things you said in your post above, too... someone definitely needs to have their eyes opened.
I seriously doubt anyone is going to fire you for simply needing a night's sleep! But on the off-off-off chance that happens, all I can say is, you didn't lose much, but THEY sure did.
I agree...doesn't seem worth it in my opinion...

I agree - doesn't sound like it's worth your time to fight her anymore. NM

Great post, definitely worth the read...
I also like to recommend to people looking for extra income to try selling on ebay. You're not going to retire rich but it will bring a bit of extra income in.

Oops...above post was to go above.....sorry. nm

Oops - regarding my post.,
of course, you (obviously) can find info referenced in the AAMT BOS, HOWEVER, the MQ part only applies if you are an employee (thought your post was from the MQ board and am sorry for the mixup!)

Doesn't it say to find the secret post?
I just skimmed it, but I think it says to find the secret post and send an email from that post to enter.
Please post the link again; it doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks. n/m

Doesn't apply. According to original post, there was no dictation involved. NM

it's not my fault, the darn quote mark just doesn't post for some reason.
Okay, for some reason, the first quote at the front of qldc does not show up, but in the line autocorrect.entries.add name:=qldc" there needs to be a quote mark around each side of "qldc", not just at the end.
If you want to use this macro -- and find it won't work and are confused my instructions, please write me and I will e-mail the macro to you.
I really don't like the idea of people having to spend their meager pittance of a salary on expensive software to do such a simple thing.
To whom DOEs it belong, if not to her?
I am. Realizing that I don't belong to the
stupid gross population that seems to be on this board lately!
How about a little class and finess, ladies. Oh wait, I forgot who I was talking to!
Get'r done...that's your motto. Larry the Cable Guy must be your president, huh?!
Sorry, don't belong to any useless...
MTSO organizations or any organizations for that fact. I don't have time.
My question to all the ICs out there - How many of you are willing to pay for what it costs to do direct deposit? I know I would, if my client offered direct deposit, but only if I would pay for the cost of the service. However, I am betting that not many ICs would...but then again, I might be wrong.
Anything that does not belong under the other boards. (NM)

You do not have to belong to AAMT
to take the CMT examination. You do have to maintain a 30-credit cycle over the course of 3 years. You do not have to be a national member to go to chapter meetings to obtain the credits, though you do pay the fee to attend the creditworthy meeting. In fact, many hospitals do continuing education credits for free and AAMT accepts those credits as well. Tell it like it is.
Exactly - they belong in the house
I've had indoor cats for decades and it's like anything else. If they never have it (going outside) they never miss it.
If someone puts their cat outside it's only a matter of time before they contract feline AIDS or FELV (leukemia virus) or rabies, get attacked by another animal, get hit by a car, or just disappear with no explanation and you don't know what happened to them like the in the case above.
Keep them inside where they belong.
Go back to India where you belong.
We have enough garbage in this country without adding people like you.

If you belong to AHDI, you take the exam
Indian MTs make sooooooooo little money, the $25 difference probably doesn't help them at all.
Not all MTSOs belong to this nor subscribe
Just so ya know. Many of us think both MTIA and AHDI have done more harm than good to the MT community. Be careful who you get in bed with.
I agree, this board does not belong to her,
after all it is a 'world help board!'H
Had she really in mind to help the newbies, she would have formulated it in a different way.
It is always the tone that makes the music.
It is her body...however, the life insider her does not belong to her!
God blessed her with this child and now she needs to find out why. If she is not ready for this then thats her decision but there are other options out there. Abortion is unexceptable birth control. Maybe by taking your niece to an alternative to abortion pregnancy center (family.org has an abundance of info) they can give her all the information she needs to make the best decision not a blind decision. I will pray for your situation. Please keep us posted!
I agree esp if they take out the word American. I don't want to belong

Agree 100%. In-house is where we belong. Services have been our downfall.
And privacy issues would no longer be a concern.
Why are YOU attacking HER? Just because she doesn't want kids, doesn't mean she needs a psychi

Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day
