Sounds like exactly how I feel. MQ has a tremendous amount of unhappy people and could care less.

Yes, there seems to be a tremendous amount of damage control on her lately by MQ. What is going on
 and they are just as nasty as my office has been becoming lately with everyone worrying about their jobs now that our accounts have been switched to the NE region out of the local office.
unhappy people
I agree. They could care less. There has to be an end game. Maybe they're getting ready to do the India thing.
some people are just so unhappy,

2 people to do that amount of work, is she nuts? More like 20+ people - nm

Curosity- I am curious if I am making the normal amount of money weekly for MT. Would anyone care
to share their weekly amount of pay?
I feel people who feel like this post
needs to a) either be a stay at home mother and not work or b) realize that she is no queen bee and I could care less about a degree. What company out here that you know of compensates for having a degree? Means nothing to them. Your working and being there when they assign/need/require/whatever is what you should do IF YOU WANT A JOB in this field, otherwise get out and do something else or become that babysitter.
That's how I feel. I really could care less. Wonder if they like MTStars.
Your husband sounds like he could care less
help!
Wow! Sounds good for you! BUT, are you acute care.
I don't think they are going to give clinic MTs 9 CPL. What office are you out of? Do you really think you can do 16,000 per pay period? Sure wish I could, but don't think that will EVER be the case. With 100 doctors, there is no such thing as a 'normal' as far as I can see! Seriously, good for you!
Wow , it sounds just like MY office! I feel for you, because I'm....
I've been at my place for a long, long time. Unfortunately, the longer you've been an employee there, the crummier they treat you. Yet they never hire anyone new, even when the old-timers leave.
It sounds like if feel you don't want to pound
IC job on-line?
This sounds like highway robbery. I feel for you.

Nice to see people care
I am relatively new to this site, but from reading the posts it seems like there are several negative people out there who probably don't care about the person you are writing about. Unfortunately, I did not read her post and I don't know where she is, but I hope for her sake she is okay. I have been troubled to the point of not wanting to be here anymore, but I was able to get help, and now I am doing great. I just wanted to thank you for caring.  If you should here from here, please let us know.
Wow...now I don't feel so bad! People...
always look at me all funny when they know how many animals I have. We had another rat, but she passed away. They are a lot of work though. Does yours stay in the house?
Why do people on here feel the need to be
Maybe, just maybe, there are people who just want to vent after hours of ignorant statements and horrific grammar.
I feel your pain, and you are DEAD ON on how that account sounds!!
: (
The people who care are all raising their hands.
I care about doing a good job and want to be well compensated for that work, so count me in. If you're not interested, don't disparage those who are.
IMO, people wont care. If will cost them more

Be honest - the only people who care where the work is done are the MTs! nm

Nah, some people just feel the need to show off. sm
Dressing babies like that is expensive! Personally, if I ever get around to having kids, my babies will be in onesies till they outgrow them, and then it's OshKoshB'Gosh overalls after that, lol.
I think that when people feel the need to exalt themselves
Just my opinion. Lifting yourself up to others only makes you look prideful and haughty. If you are wonderful at everything, you don't HAVE to tell people, they will KNOW without you saying a word.
what some people have to do to feel good about themselves
"What do you all do when you have to type an expletive? I am working on an account where this comes up often. I refuse to type the actual expletive so I usually just put (expletive) and go on. No one has ever said anything, but I was curious as to what everyone else does."
That was my ORIGINAL POST. I wanted to know what any other MT in the field did regarding expletives. I didn't ask you to judge my character. I didn't need anyone telling me to "put my big girl panties on." All I was looking for was for you all to tell me what you did in that situation. I guess it makes you feel good to pound on a person rather than address the inital question - if that's what you need to do, then so be it. I am not new to the field. Been an MT for over 10 years and have never typed an expletive, though it hasn't come up often. Found this board and am mostly a lurker and thought I would finally run it by some others. Should have just kept it to myself. No wonder I like being an MT - you don't have to deal with other people very often.
Go ahead and feed the piranhas if that's what gets you through your day.
I wish more people would spay, neuter and take care of the pets
they've already got instead of expecting everyone else to deal with their problem. I get tired of the loose animals running around our neighborhood. People just dump their animals because they can't be bothered to care for them. We've got hundreds of cats running around having kittens all over the place. The kittens wind up feral. My pets are "rescues", but I can't take on any more. I won't, either. It's like kids. Don't have more than you can properly take care of. Don't expect me to take care of the problem you created either.
Here's another reason why health care is so high people can't afford it and ...SM
A while back I had to go to the ER for a particularly bad Meniere's episode. I asked for an itemized bill, and you know what they charged me for 4 mg of ondansetron?
$544.
It is going to be very interesting to see how you people feel once your office is closed and you are
moved into a regional office on DQS and find that there are tons of other MTs on the accounts you always had. It is coming for everyone so you might be singing another song as time goes on. Enjoy it while you can. Time are changing.
I feel for them but more so for the people on the MS Gulf Coast who are still in tents sm
its cold here now (27 degrees this a.m.) and some people are STILL sleeping in tents behind the truck stops. :(
I think people with higher IQs actually frequently feel insecure,
and people who razz them or put them down. It's not hard to get a complex about something that personal when people get down on you for something you can't help, and had nothing to do with creating. God-given gift. And then when people FLAME you for it, it hurts. And you go back into "turtle" mode and get a job as a Transcriptionist because machines don't bite.
LOL, I sent to Beck too, sounds like a lot of people did. nm

You know, I dont think people care anymore what MQ offers or doesnt offer, I think everyone is just
sick of all the confusion, dishonesty, sneakiness, etc. You never know what is around the corner so after this there will be something else no doubt. I think I and most other MQ MTs just want a company that they can respect and trust. MQ can offer this package and turn right around and change that. Leopards dont change their spots. It seems like they are intent on running this company into the ground and they are doing a good job of it. I dont see how they ever will stand up against the money they owe all of these hospitals. You still have to wonder what prompted them to send checks out to the DQS MTs for mistakes in calculation of lines. Give me a break. Maybe they are trying to settle lawsuits to get out of the MT business and focus on just technology. They sure dont know what they are doing with the MT side for sure. I think they felt they had everyone up against a brick wall but as accounts leave so will MTs or MTs will just move on to another business as the wages get lower and lower so then all the work can go to India. Older MTs will cut back or retire and younger ones will leave for something else when they see what they have to battle with the work left over from ASR or VR for the small amount of money not to mention EMRs coming quickly.
I would feel like people would think I was an infertile woman turning my cat into a baby.

hey, psychic is in your mind and your posts. i'm an mt. i just feel when people ramble about th
they usually have tried to relax and don't realize how crazy they sound. no i don't have a clue. i am reading between your lines which aren't making sense. i pretend nothing. magic 8 balls and psychic is your area of "expertise", not mine.
I feel bad for the people in Colorado and Wyoming who had so much wind and cold
weather. This would be worse than a hurricane because if your roof blows off, you are in severe sub-0 temperatures with blowing snow. No way to get any kind of help, and no way to stay warm.
I have a tremendous craving --sm
to succeed in what I do. When I first started as an MT I told myself that I would do anything, including working until midnight if I had to, to do well at this position. I guess I have a work ethic above most others, but that is from too many years of others deciding the outcome of my future and keeping me from being who I wanted to be or from achieving any of MY goals in life. My work comes first, over and above everything else. I begin working about 7 or 7:30 am and work straight through. I take two breaks, one to eat something around noon and one to go and get my mail at around 3. When I eat though, I usually make a small snack, sandwich, etc. and eat while I continue typing. No TV, no music, no phonecalls unless important and job related. These interruptions slow me down thereby costing me time, lines, and money and to me that is just not acceptable. This is more than just a job to me. I love what I do. I have worked hard to get where I am today and I refuse to let anything or anyone threaten that. It is all in a mindset, I guess. but it is just how I do things and I am not recommending it for anyone else. I do get burned out sometimes, but usually a nice weekend away from it all brings me right back to the helm. Living comfortably on my own volitions is my top priority and work allows me that, so work is my top priority....above anything else. But that's just me.
difference can be tremendous
You can use highlights such as bold and underline in SH but not autocorrect. Autocorrect also has a limit of size -- once you have reached that limit, you are unaware of it, as it arbitarily just deletes the oldest entry to allow you to add a new one, or it will just stop working. I learned this a long time ago. Also, you can move your SH folder and all dictionaries to a new computer much easier than you can autocorrect. Autocorrect is only for WORD, I have yet to find a program that SH does not work on, so all of your expansions can be used in excell, note pad, Email programs, etc.
I have been using SH going on 10 years, and I would not trade it for anything different. Best money I have ever spent.
Thank you, sounds like you work for good people....
I think no matter where you go it has its little ups and downs. Have a good day and thank you for responding.
Such a tremendous weight loss!
Apple Scruff--Could you elaborate how you initially got started--did you follow a specific diet? With a sedentary MT job, did you force yourself to exercise much? A "scare" really is a tremendous motivator (it took a "scare" to get me to stop smoking, but I am not having success taking off approximately the same amount of weight that you succeeded at losing) Thanks for your tips.
People expect the groomer to do anal glands. They feel that is part of what they are paying for.

Sounds like a real high IQ broad here - people like this give the industry a bad name

Who said I was unhappy?
I never said that. The funny thing is, I am extremely happy at Medquist. I am a high producer too. So, don't act like you know anything about me. What I know about you is that you are pathetic and you are coming on here all day and night and harrassing people on this board. It is sickening. So, have you decided who you are going to be tomorrow? Or, isn't this about the time when you start posting things and then answering yourself? ROFLMAO. Can't wait. Everyone, please stay tuned for the show!
Maybe she was just really unhappy with where she was (sm)
Sometimes people just end up in situations where they don't belong and are miserable and have to make a change. I'm sure it's nothing personal against you.
another unhappy MT
I have been sitting here all night trying to find a solution to this very problem, like I have many nights for the last several months. I am considering going to nursing school and giving up MT for good. I have never wanted to do anything but transcribe, have over 20 years experience just like you, but the inhouse hospital jobs are gone, as are the days of getting paid by the gross line, this editing crap is the final straw, I can no longer recommend this profession to anyone. It's really sad that nobody values the experienced MT anymore, the ones who take pride in their work, really sad..........................my income has gone from a net of $1300.00 every 2 weeks to barely more than $300.00! My husband passed away not too long ago and I am on my own now, really scary.
Don't worry -- they are the unhappy ones...
doubt they will ever find satisfaction with their attitudes.
They should be pitied for their woeful disposition.
They are embarassing themselves.
unhappy with mq supes
I know what you mean. I don't need constant contact with my supe, but when my grandmother passed away, my supe didn't say anything about it, no sorry, condolences, or anything!
Oh lighten up, unhappy one
I agree. If you are unhappy with your job
for whatever reason (lack of work, jerks in mgmt) leave it and find another company -- there are others. If you don't want to edit, opt out. If you don't like the new plan, quit. Life is too short to waste time worrying about what might be forthcoming on 10/1.
To unhappy MQ oldtimer
Line rates can be deceiving. I make 8.5 cpl now, made 10 cpl for MQ. I'm much better off emotionally, mentally, physically and financially with the 8.5 cpl.
So....unhappy MDI-MTs - any idea where you will
look if it comes down to having to find work somewhere else?
