So simple. Go to the supervisor and tell them the names of the two people who have two different

In Reply to: QA discrepancy... told 2 different things by 2 different people. How would you handle this? - Meezer
answers and ask supervisor if she could let you know which of the two answers/orders were correct. That keeps you out of the middle he-said she-said and the supervisor can once and for all correct this so no one else has to go through second guessing what should be done.

Maybe you could just put your past supervisor's names with the companies phone number?
I know exactly what you mean. It's hard when you work at home and don't really work closely with anybody or with anybody other than your immediate supervisor and QA people who actually get to see your work.
Have you ever worked outside the home? Maybe you could put previous coworkers or supervisors. If you don't have a number, just put the company's number on there.
Good luck and God bless!
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.
Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.
Really soap-operaish and annoying.
if people are annoyed, just dont respond, simple.

Uh, no---wow thos 30% must be pretty shallow people-I went from a relatively short simple name - sm
to a slovic name, luckily very short too but confuses everybody and just about every either pronounces it wrong or spells it phonetically and puts in an extra letter (a "c"). I can live with it though I do correct everyone when they do it wrong.
Board names or not, some people, myself included...
don't care to discuss what they make. Why should we? It is such an individual thing and based on so many factors that is is impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions.
The type of work, as well as the MTs experience, ability to research effectively, retention and overall knowledge and intelligence, self-discipline (and much more) are variable, to say the least.
What others make is totally irrelevant to what someone else may make.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I've seen quite a few names, first and last, of people
mgmt on this board in the past, in similar situations, which is why I felt I could post this question. I certainly don't think I was not being tactful to the people I asked about, as I complimented them and enjoyed working with them. I wouldn't mind my name being on this board if someone said something nice about me.
don't worry about frantic people who try to make a point by calling names.
They are immediate losers when it comes down to winning any sort of valid logical argument and you can see this person is a LOSER because they did not mention any companies to support their argument and instead lashed out at you. HOW SMART IS THAT?
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.
Simple as this!
 Then you absolutely must stay where USA has jurisdiction and that is absolutely not in a foreign country. Those are the rules and laws and everyone knows that up front. The troops, the FBI, the CIA, the US police do not help you when you get drunk and/or lost in a foreign country. But you know that don't you?
It is really quite simple. sm
If you are a good MT, which most of us are, and all of a sudden you start getting a bunch of crap. I was very happy to be with a company that afforded you the luxury of being an MT, but yet a "hospital employee". This was a very innovative thing and I jumped on the band wagon. All the money is in ops, surgeons, they are predictable, macro-friendly, organized, don't flip through the charts and make me the most money. After being with this company for over 3 months, at my skill level, and only to get cued 10 ops, most of which were rejected and cherry picked, that is a HUGE sign. I did not tell "them" that is why I quit, they need to figure it out for themselves. I personally liked the team leader, but she is obviously pooling work out to her favorites, and not giving new MTs a chance - hence they will still "be with the original team", not realizing that people unfortunately get sick, die, move on, and the "original team" will not last forever. I am so glad to be out of there. Don't know if new company is going to be any better, have to wait and see.
I think both, but not as simple as that.
We do all make choices, but in some instances there are very few choices. Yes, we should first avail ourselves of education. Basic education is available to everyone in this country. After high school, education becomes harder to obtain, but it is available to everyone. You do have to have either transportation or a computer, and you have to have time to participate, but if you want it bad enough you can find a way. All that being said, if the company you work for suddenly closes, and there are few jobs available where you live, you can find yourself in a bad situation that you did not create. I think government assistance is important for people that find themselves in a temporary bad situation, but should not be allowed to be a way of life, except in the case of disability.
Very simple....
You tell them you're going digital, and they can either join you in the 21st century or be left behind.
well that seems simple enough! thanks
xx
Might try Simple FTP....sm
They have an option where you can log on as a guest and try out.
So simple, when you know what to do!
Thanks, that worked by just turning off and back on. I am so techology challenged!
simple
It is not your chair, keyboard, et cetera causing you to be so uncomfortable...getting up at least every 2 hours and walking the floors for 5 minutes works wonders in rejuvenating the body back to comfort level. It works for me and I didn't have to spend any more on equipment, hmmmm, not sure about the carpet yet though...LOL
Hi - I wish it were that simple. sm
I'm not able to use Express Scribe due to company policy against outside players. The player is the one that is built in to InScribe. The sound quality is excellent, but there's no way to access the player that I can see, except as mentioned above, and those options have been turned off.
Thanks for your input. :)
Also may be something as simple as
if an injection is needed into the arm, for influenza, tetanus, whatever, that could cause soreness, they might look to see which is dominant and inject into the opposite.
Seems simple. Look for co. that will allow U to

Simple as that then.
If you can't make enough money to even survive as a speech rec editor, then you should choose option C. That is the point.
But, the big nationals, or should I say big globals, are not the only game in town, and if you choose option A and learn how to edit efficiently and improve your production then good for you. Editing and straight transcription require different skill sets some folks just simply cannot make the transition.
Except my supervisor is NOT an MT
And anyway, our experiences are just different.
I think if I was being routed crap, yeah, I'd be pissed. I'm just saying routing, or reserved as someone pointed out, isn't ALWAYS a bad thing.
It's not cherry picking if the folks who do the routing aren't transcribing. And at my place they're not. Trust me, I ask them questions and they have no idea what I'm talking about. They're admin people, not MTs.
MQ supervisor
Mine is a wonderful lady, helpful, funny, hard-working. I think Atlanta has the best staff in the country.
Not unless they are actually your QA supervisor.

Tell your supervisor!
Do you work for a company that is located in Massachusetts? I won't say the name....most pathetic QA on the planet.
Supervisor of who?
If it is just her, who is she supervising? Maybe they want to pay her to supervise at this point since they gave her the title? How do you not give the girl a chance? Anyone with experience would need trained even on the difficult doctors. Give her some samples. Just because it was not the "supervisor's" decision on who they hire doesn't mean this girl wouldn't work out. I think the supervisor is afraid this girl might just show her up while she's gone!! JMO.
I had a supervisor like this. (sm)
Her mistakes & shortcomings were glaring and inexcusible. But although these were, and continue to be, pointed out to HER supervisor (who hired her) and even higher-ups, they stand behind her as if she were a saint. (Which she is NOT.) Nope, I really don't think it's worth pointing out her flaws, it'll just put you under a microscope and in the company's gunsights at a future time. That's the kind of people upper middle management seems to want these days. Pretty sad.
What do you think of a supervisor
who watches her transcriptionists' typing time including in between reports for the whole shift plus, even when there is a split shift, and then questions if there is more than a few minutes in between reports for that whole time. Just wanting some input. This truly exists in at least 2 jobs I know of and I have a certain opinion about that. And this would not be a manager who is watching newbies to help them if they were needing help, this is someone monitoring the whole staff. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
AND CC THEIR SUPERVISOR...SM
They will think twice about nitpicking then.
Simple explanation
The industry is in tremendous flux, and with so many unstable companies job hopping by transcriptionists is normal. Nobody is nearly organized enough to keep a blacklist. More simple explanation is that every ad generates 1000s of resumes. I once got a reply two months after the fact. Not rude, nor anything to be paranoid about, though certainly not a pleasant experience.
Simple answer:
Coast---------------------------------->
Find someone you can just "unload on" - a sounding board - we can do it if you want.
Hunker down.
Your first goal should be to GET HIM OUT. You don't move. You GET HIM OUT. You may be able to get legal advice on how to do that from counselors at any abused wife shelters or community police officer. (of course do that on the sly)
Find out where you stand legally on getting him out with the least amount of hassle and start getting legitimate CHILD SUPPORT from him. That means $$ to pay for day care. None of this 50/50 stuff. You are giving him an easy way out and you are still going to be in a bind. DON'T DO IT.
Forget about buying the house.
More AND cheaper ones are on the horizon, trust me.
This way you will still have your "downpayment" that will be growing interest - and it will be tucked away and you will still have your IRA for emergencies.
One thing that bothers me - you said YOU WORK NIGHTS and HE WORKS DAYS. So he gets to sleep/while the kids are sleeping- at night, right? But you have to take care of the toddlers all day and try to grab naps, right? Do you get this uneven picture here?
That's what "working from home" turns out to be - you get to work all night and odd times during the day, but never get to sleep. Between doing housework, tending babies, dealing with angry men, there is no life. And MTing is stressful.
Forget the house.
Get him out.
Get childsupport started. You don't need him there to babysit - he's sleeping while he is "babysitting"! 
Save your money.
There, is that a plan?
All things will fall into place after that. Who knows, maybe you can be director of medical records instead of MTing at the hospital with your schooling. 
Just a simple question
Don't get yourself all worked up here, or you might just find yourself hitting the bottle soon! LOL!
simple MD error
They forgot to turn off the microphone before they said the words, OR they forgot to use the proper commands to direct you up to the location they wanted.
Had they done either, the words never would have appeared in the first place.
simple answer to
They think that typing medical reports make them as smart as doctors.
Simple solution
Keep the door closed and the cat out! Cats CAN indeed be trained that certain areas are off limits, but nothing works better than a keeping the cat out of the room. Problem solved, yes?
The solution is simple
Report that MT to your boss. If the MT continues then report to your boss again along with your boss's boss. Keep climbing the chain of command until SOMEONE does something about this MT.
simple question but here goes...
why do some messages have those yellow markers in front of them, they seem to have a lot more views than the other messages..can't figure it out...and it's probably something simple..thx.
simple question
I'm relatively new to transcription, so this is probably a dumb question, but here goes...
How does a C-phone work? Is this live dictation?
you sound new and simple
nm
Simple -- do the math
Pull up one of your old documents and figure out your gross line count and then divide characters by 70. See how the totals compare. Do not know what your margins are in your gross line, if they are longer with margins at .5 and .5 versus then you could come out ahead but if they are at 1. and 1. then you will be close to even with an increase of 1.5. But again would be simple to figure out from one of your old documents. Just me 2 cents worth. Patti
I think the answer is simple
some people are just faster typists than others. I had 2 bosses that both typed circles around me and yet I average 130-140 wpm. I think you could have all kinds of macros, etc. and still if your speed is slower, well that says it all.
Very simple procedure
Download your voice files from the email to directory (folder) on your hard drive (usually should create special one just for this) you know you will always use for docking these recordings. Then open ES and click on the Load square at top of program. This will open the directories on your computer. Go find the one where you just downloaded the email recordings to, click on the one you want to bring into ES (one by one or batch). Then click the "load" key at the bottom of that screen and you should see them coming into the ES window. Takes a while for them to install if they're long. It's only complicated the first time!
Keep it simple - make it fun
I wouldn't get too much into the nitty gritty, but just give them an idea of what it is about. Most people don't know that transcription means listening to doctors and typing. Something simple as that can go a long way.
Well, all decisions should be so simple! SM
The very best of wishes to you. It can work great--The key to making it work great is organization and self discipline. I presume like almost all of us you'll be paid on a production basis instead of the salary you were used to?
You may find it works best to split your workday into blocks, with the assistance of your husband, of course. An hour before the babies wake (if there IS one!), 3 hours while a babysitter watches them, 2 hours at night. That sort of thing.
Interruptions absolutely kill production and turn workdays from 6 hours of intensive work into those 12-hour marathons people complain about.
Let us know how it's going for you.
It is very simple to understand...
She most likely has never heard this dictated before. She is probably unsure if she is hearing it correctly. She is questioning it, which is her right.
Probably a simple mistake...sm
You know this is not supposed to be perfect. We are posting on here on free time when we let our guard down. Sometimes we don't go back and proofread our posts. When we are working we proofread and make sure things are right. I assume you never make mistakes?
You can't-- simple answer-- I use my - sm
autotext for that.
This may sound like a simple
question, but can you run both Microsoft Word and WordPerfect on the same computer??? My kids have my old one and I have recently bought a lap tap and MS Word to install on it. Since they have to use my new computer for school work as the computers/teacher's programs all have MS Word, can I install the Word and keep the WP, or do I need to unstall WP first???
Simple enough question
I know exactly what happened on the boards last week with a company going to VR and the hysteria that followed. I saw you there several times and know your feelings about VR. My question was valid and think it deserves an answer.
And a simple Google said nothing
about the lung. End of comments.
yes, my supervisor and other transcribers
are well aware of the system. And YES I DO DO DO DO DO type the foreign and American mushmouths. 520 lines in six hours is nothing ... I average 220+ lines an hour.
I've been both, supervisor and MT
I work just as hard and you're right, hear just as many excuses as when I was a supervisor over about 50 people. But at least then I could do something about it.
