It's a little crazy everywhere, I suppose. I don't think anyone would win if this were brought to anyone's attention, in our business.
Yes, it felt good expressing it. Not everyone understands our business and how important it is to meet TAT and I guess this shows how far someone will go.
I am probably not the better person but if I thought this was happening to a coworker, I would probably step up to the plate and ask the games to stop.

Way to go carol!

good girl Oh Carol !!! We know what true....sm
We KNOW what true loyalty and appreciation of great rock 'n roll is. Too bad these negative posters probably like the blond shallow Britney Spears and/or Jessica and Ashley Simpson....*LOLOL*
Awesome Carol! That's a cute mousepad, too.

Good for you, Carol! If you are business-minded, go for it.....sm
I have had 3 friends who have done the very same -- I even worked for one of them for 2 years while the company got off the ground. If you can marked yourself/your service, be shrewd and confident, and have the time and energy/focus for bartering contracts, etc., you can really make great money on your own. I have not attempted it yet because of raising kids, and now have my elderly mom who just was widowed. And if you feel you need some business help, my friends all got mentoring through the Small Business Administration, they have former business owners who will actually come to your house, plan strategy, give you tax tips, and so much more. It can be so frustrating working for other companies in this business, all the best!
Carol, the short answer is very difficult. SM
It took me surprisingly much longer to become a modestly competent MT than it did to become a competent real estate appraiser. If I had had any idea, I never would have accepted my MT friend's offer to help me fill in a real estate recession period with transcription. It's so easy working from home, not dressing and making up, not commuting, not having any work-related stress (if you don't count lack of income in this category), and not stroking and negotiating with clients, though, that I let myself be seduced into working for close to minimum wage for several on-job-training production-pay months, and then for a disgracefully (i.e., looking back, appalling that I settled for it) low wage for another couple of years before I finally became knowlegeable enough to make a decent middle-class income that compared to what I had been making. I did always definitely plan to go back to back to full-time appraising, but eventually realized that if I stopped transcribing I'd lose the skill I'd invested so much to develop but that I could keep my appraiser's license current with minimal effort and expense. So here I am.
In any case, given that, and the uncertainties involved in the future of this work (it does seem that, at very least, relatively fewer but higher-skilled people would be needed), if I were you I'd take that class and a full course of others that prepared me for something else--perhaps tumor registrar? And with the medical knowledge you developed, later on you could segue into this work should it still be there and you wished.
To underline, although experienced people do make good money at this, for newcomers it's definitely not an easy, quick, or secure way to enough income to pay the rent. Best wishes.
