at least we can take comfort in knowing that SOMEONE will give him a recording contract.

I'm shocked as well ... here's where ...
Look at the recipe thread here on page 1 of the Main Forum.

Open the post by "Just Observing".

There are ads displayed on the right, down the page where the "latest" posts are listed.

One of them is for BPO Experts. It is an ad for Indian offshoring of MT, coding, different types of HIM work.

I am quite shocked myself to see this ad on this website.

I am shocked
I still can't believe it. I did a search for MT companies and came upon Zydoc. Searched here but found only one person asking a question. Started filling out the form on their website and got to the last page and it asked me to enter my CC info!!!
I was shocked!
Ace really deserved to go home last night. I can't even believe that it was Bucky.
I am shocked!
What a jerk that doctor was! I am sorry you got in trouble for that, but I am sure you flagged it and did not just send it in as a final.

You go, girl!
I was so shocked!
I could not believe it when I read what was on this web site.

I am shocked that.....
companies even use PayPal to pay.  PayPal is not a very legitimate company and is KNOW for freezing funds, over-charging fees, etc.  Years ago, Paypal decided to freeze $3,000 that I had in an account to "investigate" it, although it was clearly shown where the money came from.  It took me a year to get my money back.  I found out that they do this sometimes to invest different monies I guess.  Crazy company, I wouldn't use them!
I was shocked too. Are there that many pedophiles?
a
You're welcome. I was shocked at some of it too. You know, there are
in stores and bakeries now too!!!!  Lots more opportunities to be sitting in a danger zone in case you happen to be called in to be tested out of the blue and there you stand with you teeth in your mouth (and a few muffin crumbs on your blouse)...failing a drug screen.. yikes.
Yes, shocked here, too. As my 3 teens have
pointed out, dear Cat is sure strutting her you-know-whats. Yuck. Chris was absolutely stunned, and so were a lot of viewers. We're not even gonna bother - the remaining 3 are nice enough, but talented enough? No way!!
I am shocked you would even question. sm
Your job is to transcribe the dictation.  It is not your report - it belongs to who signs it.  And unless you cannot understand a phrase or word - you blank it.  Sounds like that was a clear sentence.  Shaking my head. 
The more I read, the more shocked I am
Your pharmacy cannot tell your husband your prescription is ready. Where does this madness end? People on here are paranoid, the whole world seems like going in the same direction. You cannot call someone's name in a physician's office, your next of kin cannot be told your prescription is ready- on and on and on. All this political correctness is just a bunch of bunk. I could use a lot more words to describe but not allowed to do so here.
I am shocked at how some people responded to this.....
Everyone has their bad days....that doesn't mean you throw your marriage away and decide you are better off w/o them. I know where you're coming from having a husband of my own that some days I could just kill but most days I love him to death and don't know what I would do w/o him. Don't pay these people any attention or let them get you down. Vent when you need to...
I for one was shocked at the line rate
When I first started out.  They start some at 5 cpl, are you kidding me?  10 years ago I started at 0.0775 cpl.  How can they do this and get away with it?  Why are people signing up to do this?
I'm shocked. Sherrie come on out and talk to us
Dont you owe us that much?? We have supported this site for years.. Talk to us.
I wouldn't trust this at all! I'm shocked you do!
Talk about inviting trouble in the door!

I am shocked too! And the way that Ryan Seacrest just blurted it out...sm
I did not like that one bit!  That was so mean how he told him he was the one going home!  It was a shocker, but he will be one getting a contract sometime in the near future.  I hope Taylor wins!  I will for sure be keeping my phone lines busy next time - just goes to show that you better be calling and voting for the one you like most.  Never would have thought Chris would have gotten voted off tonight....
Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly.  These mistakes should not have been made.  I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you. 
I agree. I was shocked too. Laurie seems irritated; thought a little
mothering might help calm her down.

I'm raising my children alone. I know how it is.
I believe the original poster is the one doing the scoring, and she is SHOCKED at how low the score
is for the MT, and she doesn't even know what to say to the MT under comments. I can certainly relate - lately, its abysmal in my company.  How, oh how, do these MTs get hired?  To me, that is the BIGGEST mystery. 
I'm shocked that they are still in business. Why haven't they been prosecuted and/or shut dow

I received an invitation to a baby shower that shocked me....sm

It was for a friend having her second baby...already strange because I thought baby showers were only for the first baby, when you don't have any of the necessary items. The worst part, though, was that printed on the invitation was the ADMISSION PRICE to the party! It was a tea party at a tea room of some sort. It also was printed on the invitation what gift to bring! 


I chose not to go to the party. I politely declined and gave an appropriate gift of my own choosing at a later date.


 


 


Wow..I'm so shocked. I didnt know this happened. I know the clients pay the MTSO owners so why ca
the MTs who do the work. Is this the same person. It sounds like she is a nice person but nice does not pay the bills. Anyone care to give initials of the company as I have been looking for a IC job and obviously with these people having a huge turnover due to nonpayment, I do not want to fall into that trap. How awful!!!
Hi, yes I did explain above. Really shocked by that post who thinks I'm a company...ahahah
NO bad intentions whatsoever. Shoot me for copy and pasting....too lazy to reype.

That's just really funny.
Thank you ghost! So true! So true! More than one person!
xx
Yer crackin' me up! True, true, true! nm

ROFL!! true, so true! nm
nm
true, true but out of about 90 flicks....1 or 2...nm

true, true - but what you see as arrogance...sm

I think a lot of people go the extreme -


so, if I had to be one way or the other (being a humble extremist myself...*LOL*), I'd rather have too much self-esteem than not enough (been there, done that the first 30 years!!! *L*).  And I am a truly humble person, been recognized for just that.....but because of *been there, done that* - and all sorts of therapies (not drug therapies), some end up the other way.  Oh well, this was a fun couple of posts - so I thought.


Gave me much to chew on :)  Have fun!  


True but to say there are no good MTs not true.
asdf
ROFLMAO!!!! so true! so true!
Everybody sees it but her, though! I love it! Thanks for the giggle! ":^)
True!
.
that's so true nm

this is sad, but true
search engines are great, but they pick up all the WRONG information also...so be careful
That may be true for No. Cal. (sm)

in Southern Cal (Orange County), the accounts have become quite scarce and most doctors will not pay over 11 cents per line, that is, if you can find your own accounts at all anymore.  They get a lot of solicitations and do not have to pay over 11 cents.  There is a lot of EMR taking over out here or all the accounts have been taken by large services.


Sad but true
.
Of course, what you say is all true; however...
my compassion and tolerance dries up pretty quickly when someone expects special treatment (plays the ____ card, if you will) because of situations they are in a result of their own decisions.

This comes across as harsh, but it's a fact of life that decisions do have consequences, and when people try to minimize the consequences of their actions and/or expect other people to pick up their slack, I get mighty testy indeed.
Hey, what I said is true - I do it --
I don't cherrypick. I probably work longer hours (about 9-1/2 to 10 a day)than most but I can get 3000 lines in a day and if I worked longer, say 15-16 hours, I have no doubt I could get 4800 lines.

No one is cutting ANYONE's line count. I just stick with it, man. I keep typing while others are up running around doing their laundry, or tending to a kid, or playing on this board. I just keep typing steadily along.

Hey, man, I'm sorry if you have problems getting more lines but that doesn't mean I or anyone else am taking them from you. They are there. Sit down and type 'em.

And NO, I don't work for this company. Every company has CPs and it is not fair. But just because YOU can't do someone else's line count doesn't mean they didn't get it -- without doing something unfairly.
That's not true (sm)
I confirmed this with my office when I started DQS. I also tested it by importing text into another program and all characters and spaces, including the red headers were counted.


Is this true?

A girl at work today told me that Keanu Reeves is the (late) Christopher Reeves son.


I never heard this before, and so far I am unable to document via the internet.  Anyone have any input?  Much thanks.


It is true

Dont doubt it, it is true. 


true true.

UN-true
Beth, face the fact that we aren't buying your bunch of hooey.  Shame on you for trying to sell it to us.  Go away.  Go troll somewhere else. 
SO TRUE
I couldn't believe what was happening. I knew that I was producing much, much more work, but couldn't understand why I was not getting near the lines that I was getting before the switch. Then, one day, I found out. I've hated MQ every since.
It's true
In DQS hit F9 and to a detailed summary of your lines. Then click on a report. Two types of reports will be shown. One is the way the reports shows up after corrections are made and the other is for payroll which is the way you transcribed the report. Choose the payroll one and then scroll to the bottom. It is not hard to figure out. And, YES, you can look at what you have transcribed this way. The head honchos want us to look at our work after it has been corrected so we will know what mistakes not to make any more. I have been transcribing for 23 years and if I leave a blank it is usually because I cannot hear what the dictator is saying. Typically when I recheck a report, the ME or QA person could not figure it out either. Sometimes they leave the blank and sometimes they just take it out and put something odd in its place. Now, how is that right? Everyone should be checking their reports.
It is so true
Where I worked previously, we were able to add a "weighted factor" for difficult dictators and for certain types of reports as some in the office thought those reports took more time to transcribe or were just more difficult - OP and CONSULTS. If you look at the bottom of the payroll report you will see all kinds of figures where items are counted, not counted, possibly could be adjusted in the future, etc. Look at it, and figure out for yourself what the future holds!!!
It is so true
Mtheaded - I think we worked for the same company before.  Would you care to e-mail me? 
Tis true...
We're swamped!
This is not true!
I am a Quality Assurance specialist with a large national transcription company and I beg to differ with your statement.  We send our overflow work to India and let me tell you, their quality is NOT "superior" to the American MT - In fact, we have to do 100% QA on each and every job - your hair would curl at some of the mistakes I have seen just because they don't understand basic English colloquialisms.  When all work has to be 100% QA'd by a salaried individual, where is the savings?  Unless you send unedited, unproofed work to your clients, in which case I don't think it matters where the good MTs are...you will be out of business soon.  Don't dare compare the quality of American and Indian MTs.
Well, that is true too.
Probably low quality work from them.
Actually, that's not true. I am not the OP
and I rarely post on here but I work for MQ as well and am SICK of the whining about MQ.

For every one of you who has the right to complain about MQ, an MT has the right to complain about you.

Get over it. It's fair game. You're sick of MQ? We're sick of your complaining.

I have to say, though, it is kind of funny that now we've given the incessant whiners something else to complain about! You should be happier now!! LOL
That is so true!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. I can't stop laughing.
