Well, if I do a co-workers report and my boss sees my initials, I'm fired.

In Reply to: I doesn't matter. You can transcribe the reports of people you know. sm - No way.

BUt I like not being the boss and dealing with the headaches and I like having co-workers to help
:+
And supposedly they are to be fired for that on DQS. I bet they are. They break the report and skip
to the next one on DQS. I get it all the time and I report it and guess what, nothing happens to them but I figure they will hang themselves eventually. They inevitably drop off the account because they really cant do it anyway.
anyone altering/correcting a report is required to attach their initials after the original transcri

Unions may be good for workers short-term, but look what has happened to American car union workers.
They priced themselves out of the market while making an inferior product. Ford and GM are now junk bonds. I'm driving a Toyota. So if that's un-American just like shopping at a non-union store like Walmart, well you can talk to whoever is in charge of wages and taxes who have created this monster where even middle-class has very little extra money to support a union store where the employees are paid well and you pay the price in the product they sell. I can't afford it.
No, as an IC, I am my own boss. I contract out my transcribing services, but I am my own boss.
:)
Ours sees them until 18. nm

Best thing - I am my own boss and my own emloyee, worse thing - I am my own boss and my own
:P
Am so glad someone else sees it this way
that is exactly what I have said, taking to extreme, so paranoid now days, my goodness no one is coming looking for you and if you say grandparents had this or that, you have nothing other than they had that. No names, no social security ##, no nothing. Think about it.
No. The way company sees it ----SM
They feel the new technology is gaining hold so fast, that only a younger MT, very comfortable with a computer, will be able to catch on rapidly. (And will not be savvy enough to realize they are being cheated out of lines.)
They also cite the BOS issue. Supposedly new MT's have been professionally trained and know the style guide backwards and forwards. Whereas, older MT's may not know it as well.
I know that's how my company feels about it. It starts with the letter "S".
This intelligent MT sees you for what you are, a jerk.
Wow, what an attitude you have. I wonder what you were like as an MT? Mean? Sniping? Backstabbing? Intelligent MTs do appreciate their QA people. Intelligent QA people don't go off like bottle rockets in public like you have. You need the attitude adjustment, not the MT.
Only the "facts" as SHE sees them. That doesn't

excuse sees acceptable to me since it's a mandatory call.
Life is too short and this seems small to me. Maybe it wouldn't be if I were in your shoes, but it does to me right now, for sure.
Enjoy life, one day at a time.
It almost sees like they are charging you as if you were a business. I thought if you worked out of
your own home you were not considered a business.
Anyone working with Escription that sees the reports getting worse instead of
better? I have been on the present system for the past 6 years or so, same work, nothing really has changed except for the fact that Escription has in the past couple of months has gone screwy. The numbering is off, people who dictate whose work used to be letter perfect is really messed up, physician's names when dictated are left completely out- has anyone else noticed anything like this happening when on VR- goes from a terrific platform to where you just hate to work on it? Thanks.
If they don't read their reports how do they know what's wrong with patient next time he sees

You do not need the 1099. You just need to report the income. Report the company/person ...sm
to the IRS for not sending out the 1099.
I charge the same amount for a "normal" report as for any other report.
You still have to listen to the dictation and change anything that's different. I had one woman try to pull this on me. She'd dictate, "Just pull up my normal, but change this, change that, switch that around, move that, add this, delete that, and change the other." Then she'd only want to pay me what equated to $.03 per line. She wanted 1:1 on her dictation to transcription ratios. I told her to take her cheap account down the road because I'm worth more than that.
J is one of her initials

Someone else using my initials
I'll try to make this as brief as possible. I starting doing IC transcription for a medical office with six physicians. One physician was using a company in the state that outsourced work and continued to do so. The work was uploaded via voice files, etc. I was paid to proof and print that dictation for that particular physician. Well, their work was extremely inaccurate and the OM decided to no longer use their service. She informed them of such and told them that I would be doing this particular doc's dictation from now on. I was told today by the OM that there were four final dictations from that group to print out. Upon going to the web site and downloading the four dictations, I noticed that MY initials were being used as having transcribed the dictation. They were called and asked if they had a Transcriptionist with my initials - to which they replied they didn't. THe work is horrible and I would never return dictation with so many errors and such "broken" language. I don't think I'm being paranoid in thinking this group used my initials to make it appear that such inaccurate work was my work. Were I the not the one printing the work, I probably would never have known this and the doctor would have read it, noticed my initials and stroked out thinking he had gone from worse to pathetically worse.
How would you handle this? Granted, the office isn't using them now, but I'm outraged and I think something needs to be done. Thanks.
initials
Don't let this be a problem for you. Change your initials ASAP. Change them to 3 characters (at least because that decreases the odds of identical initials), and make sure those 3 characters are WEIRD and UNIQUE, such as QPZ or XBJ, or something like that. As long as your own supervisor knows who you are and what initials you use, you do not need to worry about "fooling" anyone, as long as you use those initials consistently and do not change them around. Don't let anyone challenge you on it. Just say, "Those are my initials," and leave it at that. You do not owe anyone an explanation (other than your supervisor). Doctors could care less.
Then, if the outsourcing individuals do copy your initials, you know that somethin' funny's goin' awn .... they are, in effect, stealing your transcription identity. So, don't dwell on what to do -- just CHANGE your initials and plow forward. Good luck to you!
no, different initials- KP--- nm

ARE THEIR INITIALS - SB and GB
Since I do not wish to publish names and point a finger - I know the MTSO I work for had to fire two editors. One was caught working for two MTSOs concurrently and atleast for my employer claimed to produce the work which is humanly not possible. The second one simply did not work but turned in $3,600 paycheck request anyway. Work yes but freebee no.
Just so you know. If you use your initials NM
to post on message boards, it is the abbreviation for No Message. Meaning everything said is in the subject line. So you might miss a lot of readers by putting NM. We're all programmed to skip on by....
NM are my initials -
Oops
Initials NM
Someone posted on one of the boards that NM were their initials. She can't very well change her name.
where was this, initials only sm
We need to know enough to stay away, some of these people are plain nuts.
Can you tell us who this is or give us the initials? nm
.
I use my own initials whenever I post. This seems to
be out of hand, sorry I snapped but felt like you were attacking me for asking a question. I get enough abuse at home, don't need it from strangers too !!!
and aa and jb are my full initials so no need to qa it
/
Someone is also using KS on this page as their initials.
:)
can you give the initials of this co
so we can be forewarned please. Realize this does go on and don't want to work for any place that does this to MTs.
I think the initials of that company might have a MQ in them.
I had the same experience. Once I finally got a computer and finished training, my one contact was out of town for a week at a seminar for supervisors. I totally fell through the cracks.
Is the owner's initials AM? sm
If so, her rudness ran me away
Can you give us a clue? Initials?

Glad they are gone! Can you tweak your initials to something else
dd
She was from Texas. May be the same person. Initials BF?

I was scammed by someone on this board with the initials K.P. `sm`
I purchased a c-phone from someone named Kristen in Oklahoma. She gave me a similar story. First she mailed it, then she lost the receipt for the post office, then her grandmother died, then her daughter had cancer and then her husband left her. I paid her $225. My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one so I lost some of the information regarding this but my old computer is now fixed and I have most of the emails that she sent me and that I sent her. I also have my copy of my priority mail slip and money order that I sent her. Besides scamming people out of money, isn't she doing something illegal because she is using the U.S. mail to do it? I was going to just let it go but now reading these posts that she is still doing it and that she is such a liar and crook, it makes me want to pursue it especially when I work my butt off for my money.
Who cares, we all have the same initials at one time or another. nm

Sorry about the NM-forget to change my initials
>>>
who pays attention to those initials anyway?
But I still know what you mean. I sometimes type things that I don't agree with. But his opinions, his take, I am just the MT.
When I was an IC, I just used my initials like this: "XXX Transcriptions, Inc"
NM means "no message," so why are you looking? 
I put the other MTs initials with min when combining reports. nm
Oh, a report just came in. A report actually just slid in, can you believe it. Hip Hip Hooray. I
had better get that sucker typed before it gets out of ONE MINUTE TAT.
It sort of surprises me when we get in an uproar about our initials
on a document when we think we are so right, but are not as concerned when QA fixes it when we were wrong and sent it in with our initials. I would just worry about doing the best you can and let the rest take care of itself. ((hugs))
Don't waste your time, with your experience, you don't need those initials (nm)

Anybody been fired from an mt job?
x
You won't get fired for this.
Relax! Accidents happen to everybody, especially when training on something new. All you need to do is send an e-mail briefly explaining you had 2 technical problems and providing job numbers or whatever you know about them. Then say, "Very sorry!"
It sounds like you are doing fine.
(And I'm supposedly the mean one). @@
Won't be fired.
Why continue doing something that isn't making money. Why take a paycut? I will not take a paycut. I am paid little as it is. If I take a cut in pay, might as well go work at the local Wal-Mart. JMO.
Like most of the MQ workers lately.
