Okay! You really seem like a sincere woman. To me, working 24 hours per week and making 24K is still excellent in our line of work. Also, considering you are a Mom_Of_3, my hat goes off to you.......but yes, there is always a "but". I don't care how many emails go out from PS, they are always emailing "all" but may only be referring to maybe 1 MT, but still, what gives us the right to be judgmental? What gives them the right to be judgmental. Have they ever transcribed before. The majority, no! None of us are perfect. If we were, we would be making 3 times what we do. Every single person makes mistakes. Wait, let us solve this issue between you and I......Do you feel you are "perfect" in every sense of the word or do you make these so called "dense" mistakes every so often in your life. Point taken and I do believe you are, in you're own way, a kind and caring person, but one thing I have learned in life is don't do to others.....you get the rest of the picture. We all have to learn from our mistakes.
As for clocking in and out, believe it or not, I forget also. We are either paid hourly or per line. What makes the difference as long as we meet our rate per day. To me, it's our problem if it takes us 12 hours per day to meet our line count or 8 hours. I am never sarcastic, but I also do not treat people like I do my own children, nor do I look at them as childish. I totally respect each and every person in this field, as it is getting tough to stay ahead of the game. When you CAP letters in email that is considering shouting. As far as someone being childish, so what, let them vent. Isn't this what it's all about? Do you not vent to your husband or children. I do not by far think you are this mean "monster". I think you treat all as you do your own children. Just knock it off already. You seem too intelligent for this "childish" gossip.
