Why not just reply to her e-mail??? (nm)

under your post, it says Reply By E-Mail
when they reply, they don't know where it's going, they don't actually have your personal e-mail address. They are just replying by e-mail to the post.

Thank you (email reply link inside)

Here is the website. There is a link to e-mail them at the bottom. sm
I would write them and ask them about it. Not sure if yours is older or not, but they have Version 9.02 now, so we are both behind the times.

mail me the link for instant text
we have Instant Text where i work. so far it has been the worst word Expander i have ever used, unless i do not understand it. i am the only one in my office that read the manual and called the company, they explained some stuff but the program still sux. any help with this would be greatly appreciated. tynkerbelle@inorbit.com
Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.
Be firm and be persistent.
My friend who works for them is having her mail go to her own account. She hates this new mail prog

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

Block her E-mail, return mail unopened
On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not -- and if they are blocked they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable". If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted. But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone. If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.
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 simply chose the wrong link. See inside for the correct link.

I'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits. What's up with MQ? Any speculation? My mail is general and not specific to my office. Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?
what link? You failed to include link
I think you forgot the link? I don't see a link
to check this out....sounds interesting.....
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...

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!!

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.

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.

 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.

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

Thanks so much for your help and encouragement! How long have you been there? Do you like it there? Any idea what the starting pay is? Is it extremely frustrating at first?
Thanks again!
Thanks for the reply.

What do you mean by platform? I've used a couple of in-house systems for pathology. Could you be more specific? Perhaps I could help.
