Email reply vs. Post Reply
Could someone tell me how to post a message and then have someone reply by email instead of just "Post Reply." I'm pretty new to this "chat" board. But I WOULD like to say it is VERY informative and helpful. Too bad some of the companies we work for aren't as helpful as one MT is to another MT. We'd have it made!!
I sent her an email and this is her reply:
Well Micheal, nice to hear from you too.....Do you know how many resumes I get from all over the frickin country. They don't even read the ad, and why should I not put EXACTLY what I am looking for in something I am paying for, the ad.......I don't have losers working for me and wouldn't hire one. Are you looking ?? LOL
Hmm...first it would help if she could SPELL (its Michael, not Micheal).  Beam me up Scotty!
Email reply to her resignation
I forgot to post the email I sent her on the day she quit. Here it is:
Vanessa,
This is very unfortunate! We have not received the files we assigned you for 6/30 submission and you are not answering your phone. I am dismayed by your lack of professionalism in not even giving us the courtesy of saying you will not do the work. That said, what personal problems you may have, I hope you work them out.
Sammy

I regret to inform that I can no longer work for SMT because of personal issues that need my immediate attention. I am sorry for the lack of notice, but it could not be avoided. I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.
Thank you,

If you list you email addy in your reply,
I'll email you privately.
Thank you (email reply link inside)

Is it true that you can see the "email" when it's reply by email? sm
Some have said they've been contacted by moderator(s) regarding something they sent in Reply by Email.
please reply only if you are a user, do not email if you sell them,ty (nm)
nm
Well, if you left your email address as a reply option,
maybe someone on "the other board" would email you privately with details! Otherwise, I never heard of it either!
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY
e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place. The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you. If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone. The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.
Instead of clicking Post Quick Reply, go to the box further down on the left that says Post Reply to

San Antonio; email me; I can give you email for MT sm
who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.
I'm in Corpus.
Can you email me? Email inside
Please email me as I need to find a good employer--trying to get rid of those golden handcuffs! Thanks. lsmithes@hotmail.com
and I also got an email in my home email--sm
address for a similar type of *job opportunity* today, although it was not this person's name. I can't believe the presumptiveness of some of these people! Don't they realize that they are taking jobs away from us and probably doing something illegal, to boot? I sent the email to the authorities this morning after reading it. T'd me off!
thanks for your reply
and really sad too....
how's this for a reply
THE ARUBAN CASE INVOLVES AN AMERICAN, HELLO? Comparing this and the Idaho case is just plain stupid! She is an American and deserves to have Americans looking for her. God, give me a break!

Well I have only been working for 5 days now hard to say...
REPLY
Oh you are kidding!!! I just tested and was offered an IC position.. did you work for them long and they didn't pay you or if I am being too nosey please tell me.. I hear so much on this and other boards about companies not paying, you just don't know anymore about any of them!!
I have to reply to this LOL
That is not always the case sweetheart (see being nice). I have been sugary sweet to these people and it does not work. I have found that if it is a woman on the phone..my husband gets where we need to be and if it is a man on the phone, i get where we need to be. Sad but true!!

Hello,
Please read my reply to Vanessa Satterwhite's post. If you are still interested in working for us, please contact me at smt_recruiter@yahoo.com

Give this newbie a break! Trust QA? You don't if you do all that research. What makes you think no research was done?
Reply
Thats what i said..we don't know. So therefore, she needs to be aware that she should definitely do the research PRIOR to just leaving the job. If she hasn't then a new job is not going to do her any good other than show that she changes jobs often, which does not look good on a resume. As far as trusting QA...not ALL companies hire crappy QA. We again do not know. The QA COULD be right and COULD be very good at his/her job. You simply don't know, but telling her to move on before you even know the facts is just silly.

Animal advocate, I really appreciate all your info you are putting out there, but I do take pause at your statement above that animals were meant to be consumed, I do not believe this. We are made to be vegitarians as our digestive tracts are not meant to digest meat, our intestines are too long thus the meat sits in our stomachs and rots before it is expelled. Yes there is a food chain, but I don't believe animal meat is part of that food chain for humans. Keeping on researching you will find the right answers for you, again thanks for your input.
reply to please help
Can you tell me what you were offered? If you don't mind.
Thank you! for your reply. Must tell you
When I got the email telling me I passed my test, I had tears rolling down my face. My 10-year-old daughter said, "Mama what is wrong?!" I said, "I passed the test!" She said, "Why are you crying? You're happy aren't you?" The combination of the stress of testing and finding out that I actually do have what it takes, hit me all at once.
I've been home for a year now after doing inhouse for over 15 years, and it is the best decision I have ever made. I love it. The flexibility is great for my kids, not to mention that I'm saving a small fortune on gasoline!
I get your message loud and clear about looking things up. I have dozens of dogeared reference books and I am the queen of Google. I took a medical terminology class to help with areas I wasn't too experienced with and the instructor's main focus was, "Don't guess. Look it up!"
reply, thanks
Thank you for the feedback. any ideas on a company that is honest to work for?
If this reply was to me
It is because I still have the best I can get right now with the hospital, even though MQ did make it much worse, I can't afford to lose the benefits that we have. I went to work for MQ part-time on the side in the SAME PROGRAM and realized that it was EVEN WORSE, SO I QUIT MQ.
reply to above
if your life is so void of friends/family that you have to come to an MT board to discuss your personal issues. transcription is only ONE aspect of my life. I come to this board to discuss transcription issues and transcription issues only. I have other people in my life that I can discuss things like KATRINA with.
reply
you obviously don't live with anyone.

Your assumption is that less profits for CEOs and businesses and MORE money funneled into services will alleviate poverty. I don't agree. That is still a Band-Aid to the problem. Since Johnson's Great Society in the 1960's poverty has not improved much at all. In fact, some of the core underlying reasons for poverty have now been enabled... Who needs to worry about having kids without the proper preparations, the govt will save you. We have a culture filled with rap music telling impressionable young people anything goes. And I don't buy the "parents should just not allow kids to listen to it if they don't like it" because the kids that it impresses are kids who don't have proper parenting at home. I'm all for funneling money into programs to get people onto their feet, to get educated, to help them while they achieve this goal, but to just hand it out to people who feel entitled without any effort in return is wrong. Poverty will simply continue and even worsen.
For you and WA see my reply below. I did this
because I needed a laugh too!
My microwave is broken again, so I had to order out for pizza.
I first called my sister and asked her what to do. I asked her how to use the big huge white appliance thingy with all of the dials on it that sits next to my refrigerator and has cute little covers over those "coily things" on the top. I told her that the dials and numbers are way to confusing.
Her reply to me was, "Oh my gawd, you cook?"
Glad I made you guys laugh or chuckle. With this job, we all need it.
Was your reply to
I am confused by your response.....I actually enjoyed the original posters "little jokes" about Walmart and someone had to come on here and say how ridiculous it is and how it wasn't funny and what not. I voices my opinion and she kept having come backs. I certainly always love a good laugh and just cannot understand how this Walmart jokester was so wrong in people's eyes. So, perhaps you should be addressing her and not me, because I have a good sense of humor and found it somewhat amusing.

No, I have my college degree. All I was saying was that no job is certain anymore even with a college degree. I have met quite a number of people who have college degrees in areas such nursing who have gotten into transcription because what they were doing before was too demanding of their time and they had no family life. I wish people would stop knocking this profession. For myself this is a great fit for me. I just recently moved across the country from PA to CA with the same job totally intact. I have total freedom to move where I please when I feel like it without it disrupting my income or where I work. How many people can say that? Not many.

what are people supposed to get paid??? $20 an hour? Sometimes I think part of the problem is that people think that just because they went to school that they should come out making $40K plus a year. Let me tell you something, even with my university education plus my MT education I knew what seemed at the time nil. I think people forget the saying -- if it so easy then everyone would do it.
My reply
I have two full time QA positions and I am not certified. I am salary on one at about $16 per hour. I am IC on the other at $20 per hour. The salary, I get paid the same amount each pay period no matter what volume comes through. The IC, I am paid to monitor the work as well as QA so for whatever shift I am on, I get paid, work or not.
I can't help you on average lines as I am not paid by line so I do not keep track of them. The amount of work required depends on your companies requirements. Mine are based on what platform and what account I am working on and they are not set in stone. Hope this helped. Good luck to you.

You don't shop there...Good for you. I never said you SHOULD shop there if you have personal reasons not to. If they're breaking the law, the law will deal with them. If they are TRULY the evil company that you say they are, that will be their eventual downfall. One class action suit on a company that big? Hardly a shocker. As for Chinese products? Please check the labels on the stuff that you DO buy at where ever you buy it (other than Wal-Mart) and tell me where it's made. EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA! Why? Maybe because Americans and their unions didn't help the situation by demanding big bucks for little skill. You arguments doesn't hold up either, at least as far as Chinese products go.

So what you're saying is that everything can be arranged for except for keeping ice. That brings us to who needs ice? I can live without ice. The only people who must have it are people who have meds such as insulin that must be kept cool. Were those lines full of people on medications? I doubt it. As for the way the storm hit, I guess people should assume the worst and be glad when it doesn't happen. No offense though, but I can't see how anybody wants to live in the state of Florida. I've been there. It's awful. Hot, sticky, flat, expensive, and riddled with bad weather. I'll keep on freezing my butt off up here in the Northeast (with my 4 cords of wood piled up for our 2 woodstoves just in case the blizzard of all blizzards keeps us trapped this winter).

I use the phrase, "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." Then I tell them that I wouldn't have to actually kill them, but it IS confidential and sorry, but I am not able to discuss it.
End of discussion.
(I just couldn't stand hearing ONE MORE PERSON say, "Oh, I know how to type! Maybe I should do that!" Grrr!

 Actually, I have known and worked on many projects with the owner of USA Type before they owned this board and Sheri is a great gal to work for and work with.
In reply...sm
I appreciate the supportive posts, I really do. Sometimes it's hard to tell folks how much their words of encouragement are needed.
For the other posters, well what can I say. Thanks for kicking an old dog when he's down. FYI, I am a good MT, probably not the best, but I am a hard worker and have always given 100%. Not that I have to defend myself - I took the test as I would have transcribed it. This company was a very small company in Alabama and the person who owns it wants the best MTs. The pay is excellent. I was very upset I did not pass the test because obviously I am not the best. But I have heart and wanted so much to succeed at this career. Now, I don't know. I looked up real estate tonight!
And concerning the 1/2 cc...0.5 mL - Especially the ***hole who told me to keep up with my profession....per my copy of the revised safety rules..."use one-half or 1/2" depending on the way it is transcribed. Also, it is mL now, not ml. No mention made of cc being acceptable. So I followed my AAMT BOS standards. But it was drilled into my head over and over at MQ too, VERBATIM! Change only the obvious stupid stuff. On this test, one dictator spelled cephazoline...I changed it to cefazolin.
Thanks to the MTs who encouraged this nervous MT and the first nervous MT and piss on the other holier than thou MTs. I wish all former MQ's good luck.

Possibly meaning skin type II
Your reply
I think this is great. Thanks for your opinion. I really appreciate the time you took to reply. I am kind of lost right now, to get professional MT's opinion about business I think is wonderful.
Yes,I have been bombarded this morning with EM from people concerned for my health and wanting to take over my account. Maybe I did not make it clear in my original post. . . but I really wanted to know if anyone has sold a MT business and how they went about it.
Thanks,
G
