Thanks so much for the information. 

 I've been with Transcend for over 7 years now and we've never used offshores labor.   Please e-mail me with the information regarding which recruiter supposedly claimed that we did. 

they offshore to other countries from the usa because what's important to most dictators, and again unfortunately, is the cheapest price they will get for transcription......now, I didn't say they would receive good quality MT work back - but they will only be paying 3, 4 or 5 cpl for that offshore work.....so they have chosen to COMPROMISE QUALITY!!!!  Blechhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Years ago when I worked for a smaller company a bunch of us made a big  box of goodies and mailed it to the office.  They were such great people, helpful and cheerful. The company always sent us something and we didn't want to just send to the owner of the company so we felt a card in a box of goodies everyone could share.  Smaller places have more of a personal feel .

Now I work for a larger company and home made goodies may not be such a good idea. (The shipping alone would be a killer.)  I guess a card addressed to "everyone" will have to do it.  Thought about having X-mas cards made up with  my family picture on it and sending that to kind of help them also put a face to the name.  Too much?  Think I would be better off with just a standard card? 

Those of you that are doing anything for the office you work out of, what are you doing?  Would love to "borrow" a really good idea.

TIA

First off I am a MT myself, not a company and have no idea why they are soliciting work from individuals, unless they think we will sub-contract it to them.

A few years ago I was working the 2nd shift and put huge signs up asking people to not ring the doorbell because I was working and I had given my neighbor the candy that was to be given away on my behalf... neighbor even told the brats when he gave it to them that it was from my house as most people get to his door before mine and they still ignored the information they had been given. 

If we didn't have 400 kids come through I wouldn't mind - but there are apartment complexes abutting our subdivision and the people from the apartments dump their kids by the car loads onto our subdivision to get the candy.  Our neighborhood association wishes it could block off the street for this 1 night a year to keep these goobers out!  I don't mind giving candy to the kids that I know but not to the rest of the world.

and I should come down off my high horse? 

You have waaaaaay more education, so you automatically assumed that you could be an MT without any kind of MT training?  See, that's the problem, your attitude.  "Anybody can be an MT -- medical terminology, ha!  I've got a degree in tiddlywinks, surely I can do medical transcription."

Oh and your doctor never complains because he wouldn't know a misspelling or a grammatical error if it bit him in the...  Most doctors are far too busy to bother with such nonsense.  That's why they hire us because they hope we know what we are doing.

Oh and FYI, I do own my own business.  I am a QA consultant.  I offer my services to MTSOs for a fee.  I randomly QA their MTs and find those things the QA staff is missing because they are too busy filling in the million and a half unneccessary blanks left in reports by careless MTs.  I also keep one full-time, employee status job for the benefits and the steady pay-check.

My husband used to be like that until he was diagnosed 10 years ago with bipolar disorder.  He is also on disability and he knows that I really have to work, since I pay most of the bills.  He makes me breakfast and my 25 year old daughter who is still home shares with him the dinner meals.  So I just make sandwiches for lunch and that's it.  My daughter goes grocery shopping on Saturday or Sunday afternoon, as she works.

We have a great life NOW.

I wish you the best.

the "reason" it doesn't work is because it's been sitting in the box for 6 weeks.  LOL !  If I ever put my cookies down long enough to open it, I'll let you know. 

when I feel upset, overwhelmed, or down about my situation, I try to think of how worse others may have it.  For instance, maybe your husband is facing 6 weeks of recovery from surgery... but somewhere out there somebody's husband has been delivered a grim prognosis and would give anything for a 6 week "recovery." 

You say you're an orphan... But looking on the positive side you do have a husband and children (however trying they may be at times), and someday they will have spouses and children and your family will be ever larger.  That's a good thing. 

Again, not to diminish your problems in any way, just trying to share how I sometimes help myself through tough times, by reminding myself that things can actually be much much worse.
