In Reply to: MTs NEED TO UNITE - CMT Ohio
I think it needs to be repeated over and over again to anyone who will read and/or listen, in order for this truth to finally sink in. Many of us seem to have been brainwashed by the industry's rhetoric about a 'global economy' (i.e., lowering of living standards in the US?), and 'that's just how things are, now - get used to it.') I think the future of MT as a US industry, as opposed to a purely offshore, sweatshop industry, depends on this message getting out there.

Not just in this thread but hostile people on this board always, WHYYYY
It's depressing.
Someone please post the name of a board where I might have to pay to be a member but don't have to listen to all the mean people.
People know not to call me
on Monday nights. Can't miss a minute of it. I think it's best show also. Poor Edgar!
I'm not defensive at all. I think people who call
others fools because they can't appreciate humor or don't like their views are the people who are missing the point and can't see anything but their sorry situation. When you sit in judgement of others from your high horse of course you can't find humor or anything else. Really get over yourself or crawl back into your imagination where you are queen.
The people who call me from India are AM
ALWAYS polite, agreeable, call me "ma'am", say please and thank you, etc. They at least attempt to seem concerned with what I need from the company.
ANY MQ SE PEOPLE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
Here we go again. You call other people liars because YOU can't do
what we do? That is just not very nice. Think about what you've said!
I do acute care. I wouldn't touch clinic work with a 10-foot pole, because I'd starve. Operative notes only, but for four hospitals in one state and one hospital in another state. I don't usually check my line count every day but I can tell you that I do 150 minutes in 5 hours just nearly every day. Rarely do I work longer than that.
Please be nicer to people who have come here offering to help you. I'm not selling anything and I never was sure the OP was, but every time this subject comes up, people come and try to help, only to be called liars and scoffed at.
I hope I don't get myself banned from the board for this, because I'm telling the truth.
No I don't call people from the internet...sm
Never really thought about it.
What is your typing speed and do you use a lot of templates or have repetition?
??
Funny how people call you 'racist when you
Ever call people you meet online?
I feel a little weird calling someone that I met online. Yet several people have left me their phone numbers to call them just to chat or some ask me to IM (instant message) them. Are they too trusting? Am I too mistrusting? It just feels weird to me. I am on my own. No kids or anything. Soon to be 45 years old. So I guess maybe that comes across in my e-mails that I am lonely and they are just trying to be nice. However, I would prefer just to leave a message on the message boards like this one or send an e-mail. I guess I want to know if others are exchanging phone numbers over the internet and IMing people they meet over the internet? The people I meet are usually people suffering from autoimmune disorders or people in chronic pain. They are usually responding to a message I left. I can't do anything about this condition so I try to focus on others and offer whatever words of encouragement I can over the internet to those suffering.
Don't think most of us are blessed with the clear sound, repetition, and few ESLs that you must

call credit card people immediately
and dispute charge (the back of your bill should give you the procedure on this) WRITE down everything you have done for the record. Yes, you absolutely must contact someone who knows something at hotel.com and be sure you contact the Atty General of your state and the state where hotel.com is headquartered, not to mention the BBB. Hotel.com has just got a load of bad publicity - don't forget to point that out to them. They also need to reimburse you for any charges incurred.
Be sure to keep a paper trail...emails will work. Good luck to you.
I totally agree...how old are we to call other people stupid???
Give me a break...we do not go to school for countless number of years and just because we have to correct a doctor's spelling on certain things, doesn't mean we are smarter than they are...give me a break...if you were expecting to making 75,000 in this field you made the wrong career decision...how about a little bit of respect for a fellow MT...
oh sorry grammar police...but you did call people stupid..
that was not taken out of context

It is only easy if everything falls into place, i.e. good docs, repetition, macros/expander -sm
This is not the norm. I average 130-175 lph, so it would take me a bit longer than 3 hours to make $100 (I am only PT now so I don't make much more than $50 a day) , and as she would be starting out fresh at a new job, probably with a national doing nothing but ESL the odds are she won't be making $100 in 3 hours.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Actually there is another thread that says
the same thing - "off subject" and I have seen that several times before, so that's why I asked. Wasn't faulting you or anyone else at all. Thank you for explaining that you mean it's not anything to do with transcription. Heck, we get tired of talking about transcription anyway! Nice to be "off topic"!
this should be a fun thread
What is the shortest time you have worked for an MT company and why did you leave? I have found that I can predict the first day if the company is going to work out for me. Other experiences?
I saw most of that thread was gone...
so how was the chocolate frosting or did you resist it? LOL! Been there done that!
see thread below
There is thread below about halfway down the page that started yesterday about this. I think the simple answer is we don't know yet what it means for our jobs. It's rather vague. Now, I would like to say that it is just about getting records digital and away from paper and that's it, but Obama is saying that it will save billions every year. The only way I can see that happening is by jobs being cut and I can't imagine all of them coming from record clerks who file the paper records. On the other hand he says it will create thousands of jobs, but it seems from what I have read that he is referring to computer people creating and managing the electronic records because it has been said that there aren't enough skilled people right now to handle it.
Probably goes with the thread below. nm

Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
yes, this thread has gotten way off track

Now that certainly followed the thread! Bravo! Thanks for
that totally coherent thought. When there is a thread on make up or hair color, do you post on the the War in Iraq? Probably! Perhaps the OP (original poster) who asked about working at home with a newborn had something to do with the topic being babies and...working at home! Imagine that! Pardon us all for staying on topic.
since the thread is here.. grout? Have tried

You obviously did not read the thread from below
I was not complaining about MQ. I was complaining about the person who says that anyone who posts anything about MQ is whining. All I said was that this is the forum for us to talk about any problems we may be encountering, or to share tips, or give news, etc. I just don't think it is fair that every time someone has something to say that isn't absolutely pro-MQ, they are accused of whining. I am tired of trying to defend MQ MTs who let these assinine people insult their intelligence and then attack the person who is trying to defend their right to say anything they want on this board. If you want to flame me, go ahead, I know that I had no malintent and I also know I have broad shoulders.
I posted this thread. (sm)
My thread isn't putting anyone down. I asked a question. If Dano or anyone else doesn't like it or doesn't want to answer, DON'T.
I have my reasons for asking the question. If others get their feelings hurt because someone has a degree or education, too bad for them. I'm not walking on eggshells because of their fractured inferiority complex. I'm not attacking them. I haven't belittled them over their lack of education; if they don't want an education that is their business.
I'm "superior feeling" because I want to know who has achieved higher levels of education.
Go away.
I think RadGuy DID see that thread.
He usually posts everyday but hasn't since before yesterday, so thanks for running off a good guy and one of the bright spots on an otherwise gloomy board of complainers. Do you feel better?
This is an EXCELLENT thread--thanks! nm

you don't, but you can start a new thread and
for others to reference.
This thread does not include the other 90% of us
who struggle with bad dictators to make $300 a week.
Acne - I know this thread is old, but
I found article on a dermatology site I was looking at. It's on a product that I think has been around for several years, was it Differin? Something like that. This study finds that those who use it in combination with any other acne treatment get better results (don't have my drug book with me to check the spelling).

and really, if this thread continues....sm
We should be taking this to the Medquist board/forum here and not on the Main Board where we currently are.....
