Yeah. They are so fair that they fired their president like they fire everyone else.

The president has it in for you, yeah, that's it!
Blaming other people because you refuse to keep up with the world and desperately want to hold on to a job that's clearly on its way down the toilet is the exact attitude that ends up getting nowhere in life, but that's always someone else's fault too, right? What a defeated, running in place attitude you have! See you at Walmart applying for the prestigious greeter job (that will be the president's fault too).
LMAO
Oh yeah baby, just 12 more hits and I get FLAMED! Come on' give me FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm

Maybe it's time to fight fire with fire.
I find cherrypicking an absolutely deplorable practice. That being said, perhaps it's time we set aside our integrity (believe me, I know how hard it will be to do) and send back reports also. We are penalized for our experience and dedication. You can be sure a cherrypicker's paycheck looks a lot better than ours. I think it's time we whine and cry about bad dictators and send a HUGE message to corporate by refusing to do them.
Fair is fair -- relative or not, 1 house or 100.
She's earning income and the only fair, right, just, ethical and LEGAL behavior is to report it wholly.
Fire in AZ
Are you near Payson, I do recall a couple years back, we were there looking for property and when we got back to SoCal the whole area was on fire, is that a yearly thing there?

hopefully our next president will see this

Who was the US president when U first became an MT?
President Clinton for me.
? US PRESIDENT
Gerald Ford
US president
That would have been Daddy Bush.

Carter - 1979 - American
I would get an attorney to fire off a ...
letter. I have had to do that several times in the past (not MT related), and it is amazing how quickly things are resolved. It has only cost me $35 to explain the situation to the attorney and have a short letter sent. I think it would be well worth it in your case...$35 vs. $1300.
Also, be sure to send the letter certified, return receipt requested. Even though that is only to obtain proof of delivery, there seems to be something "official" about it...and that can't hurt. 
If you are the supervisor why not fire her? If she
isn't carrying her share of the load and was switched from a different department for the same why is she still there?
Someone should have told our President that...nm

Well, I'm glad YOU are not the president...
The same people who wanted to tar and feather GWB for not piecing together some snippits of information before 9/11 and tried to say that he should have seen it coming are the same people who criticize him for stepping into Iraq to remove a dictator who even Bill Clinton said needed to be removed. If you think terrorists weren't conducting business in Iraq? You are naive. If another attack were traced back to weapons or nukes passed off in Iraq, you would be blaming Bush for ignoring all that was known about Saddam and the danger of leaving him in power. In a post 9/11 world, with all that was before him BEFORE the war as far as intelligence, he did the only thing he could do. I think in the long run it's going to work out in Iraq, but again, that takes us back the patience thing. I've got it, you don't. History shows that Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will a new Iraq.
That president is such a wimp.
You would think he'd be as far away as possible. I miss President Palmer.
The individual who is now the president of
the insurance company association (whatever it is called) is Mark Racicot, who was Bush's right hand man and head of the RNC. They do not care about the welfare of people, just their own pockets.

Writing to president sm
It's a good idea but he's been talking about it for a long time and doubt he'd agree, his mind is made up. What has to come across is the confidentiality issue which I believe is another moot point. It's very sad and I think has been in the making by the hierarchy for years. Doctors don't care period. They have families, hate dictating, would love to have it off their backs. I guess what we have to do in response is be discreet and not tell them anything we don't want the world to know. Sad, sad,sad!
My email to the President
I wrote this email to the President this afternoon. I cry each time I read it. I know I may have a few errors in the punctuation but I was very emotional when I wrote it. *Please note I am a newer Transcriptionist hence the money comment.
Dear Mr. President,
I am a medical transcriptionist. I just got laid off this morning from my job due to our largest client taking their work back in-house and sending some offshore. I have worked 3rd shift for a year for not very much money. I have sacrificed family time, personal time, money, and my health. I have rearranged our family schedule and my body clock. I needed to work and did what I had to do. I worked the job I could find. It was not much money but that money paid my mortgage, put food on our table, paid our auto loans, and credit cards. There are very few jobs out there.
What do you suggest I do now? What are you going to do about offshoring? How am I going to tell my husband? I voted for you. How are you going to help me, (Name) the Transcriptionist? Do I now have to work for an overseas transcription company. That seems very un-American to me.
We pay our bills, we are good people, we work hard but it does not seem to matter. I'm a tired American. I'm tired of working so hard for so little. I'm tired of not making ends meet. I'm tired of being told to be patient and it will turn around. I'm tired of the rest of the world taking advantage of our generosity. I'm tired of my husband driving a (Corporate name) truck all day and night and showing very little for his efforts. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired.
Well, I guess I can get some sleep now because I don't have to work tonight.
So Mr. President, my policy questions for you are:
1. When are we going to take our jobs back and take care of our own people?
2. What am I going to do for work now?
Thank you to whoever reads this. It may not be seen by the President but I feel better having told him about yet one more struggle of an American family.
michelle for president!!!! nm

Thank you...truly trial by fire but once you get over it you're stronger. nm

FIRE THE CHERRY PICKERS
They ought to track down your email and find out who you are and fire your arse!!!!
whoa, let me put out the fire while it's still small (sm)
I don't want him to be like so many of the child stars we have all heard of...I simply was asking about print ads, commercials, stuff like that. He's as cute as any kid I've seen in the Macy's catalog or on the Mott's Apple Juice commercials. And he is chock full of charisma...and too, I'm just ASKIN'! Slow down on the flames, please...there's only one of ME to fight the fire!
Yes, I used to live and work there! Fire away
with any questions!
I got a fire alarm dictation too!
That is a RIOT! The one in my ear sounded just like the "Enterprise" going to red alert...and the dude just kept right on dictating but thankfully he pretty much screamed his dictation and successfully overpowered the "bwooop, bwooop, bwooop!" of the alarm.
I'd be worried about fire issues... (n/msg)

Great balls of fire! sm
The most I EVER got was maybe 250 lph, and that was including headers, etc., and a word Expander like PC Shorthand. Course I was always a sluggish typist, never the fastest by any means! Just couldn't do that....I depended on my experience and my word expander.
Three words to discribe Mr. HIS President....
"Male Shovenist Pig"!
The nerve of some people amaze me. Anyone know if he is Indian?
Three words to discribe Mr. HIS President
"Male Shovenist Pig"!
If you cannot even take the time to spell correctly what you are describing, how can anyone take your comments seriously. "chauvinist".
"discribe" How about describe?
My kind? The blame goes far beyond our president.
He should have finished his first battle before he started another. He has done nothing to ensure that our safety is any better than it was pre-911. If anything, it is worse.
Our president has even alienated his own base.
I visit a local political board that is primarily conservative (something I am totally not, but it's still fun to go watch the "fireworks") and even the hardcore Republicans are peeved at him. Apparently this immigration "amnesty" bill he's pushing has really not settled very well with his "peeps." I didn't vote for him twice, so my conscience is clear, but I still think he's a tool, president or not. I never had respect for him and never will. I know I am not alone either and I'm sorry if that offends you, but I'm exercising one of the primary freedoms that our poor soldiers are dying and getting wounded for--freedom of speech.
The president himself deserves respect only
when he begins to show respect for the office he holds, the populace he serves, and the constitution.
MQ offshoring - My response to the President
Here's MY letter--below--to our President. Our jobs are going people. But our president has other plans. To the poster below--do you think that lovely older woman who asked the question about offshoring--or any of us lovely people sitting comfortably in our home offices right now working--are cut out for jobs such as (taken from the transcript) building solar panels or wind turbines or the new biofuel -- that involve these higher-value, higher-skill, higher-paying jobs ?? Are you ready to climb a friggen wind turbine and service the propellers?
I was so upset with his answer. First, I called the White House. This is our right. You ALL should do that. Second I wrote the following letter to the President. My own little two cents. Then I copied it to every news agency out there that I could think of. Again, just my two cents. You all should do the same. Let him know that his answer just will not do. What are we all supposed to do, in the meantime, to buy food and pay our bills before we get trained to build turbines, solar panels, or go to the lab to create the next biofuel?

President Obama—
You owe the American displaced workers an apology.
How dare you.
I am shocked at your response to the video question about the offshoring of American jobs. How dare you say to us that we don’t want those jobs that are going offshore anyway. Mr. President, for those of us who have lost or are about to lose our jobs to offshoring, yes we DO want our jobs.
You then went on to blame offshoring on the credit situation. Oh come on! The financial disaster has nothing to do with offshoring. Offshoring is the bastard child of government ineptitude and the corporate greed running rampant in our country. Offshoring means getting the same job done by cheap third-world labor. Offshoring is about not paying decent wages and benefits. Offshoring is about stuffing corporate pockets with more money.
If there was an international symbol for offshoring, it would be a picture of a CEO’s heel grinding into a third-world worker’s back.
These greedy corporations have sold out the American worker and are stepping on the backs of the low-wage third-world workers .
I am outraged. I DID go to school Mr. President. I HAVE a degree. I have invested thousands of dollars into reference materials and equipment to help me perform my job better. I also have invested almost 30 years to my career. My career is very technical. I could rattle off a bunch of words here for you, and I bet you would not know what they mean. But I do. And I have performed my job with pride all these years.
How dare you brush off the offshoring question with such simplicity.
Well, I would rather Americans have jobs, not undereducated or poorly educated third world nations.
A lot of the work from my field goes to India, Phillipines and Pakistan. Didn’t I see a group of Pakistani’s burning the American Flag on TV recently? Do you know that when my company’s work goes offshore, it contains the name, birth date and social security numbers of Americans? This is information, that in the wrong hands, could be used to ruin someone’s life. How can we be sure in countries with unstable governments, with such widespread hatred for America, with the arrogance to burn the American Flag on national TV, that this information will be guarded with care? The sad part is, after the Pakistani’s anti-American demonstration, chances are they all went back to work---doing jobs taken from Americans.
How dare you say we don’t want our jobs. What is your solution? Wait for these “green jobs” to be created some day? Go to school while we are waiting and then hope that we will be hired when we are in our golden years?
How dare you belittle what we all have worked so hard to achieve in our lives. Not all offshored jobs are call center jobs. Many of those jobs are now degreed and highly skilled jobs also.
And—your comment about our children becoming engineers was laughable. With all due respect—get with it sir—those jobs are also being offshored. Also, what are we, the displaced workers, many of us middle age, supposed to do in the meantime before we get trained to build solar panels, wind turbines and create biofuels. How should be pay for our food and our rents and mortgages?
No, Mr. President, you are so very incorrect. We DO want those jobs. They feed us, clothe us, and keep us off the street. Not to mention they help us strengthen the tax base in our own country--America.
Yes, We WANT our jobs, Mr. President.
You owe all the displaced American workers an apology.
You Are Wrong.
Be glad I am not your boss. I would fire you in a heartbeat.

Betcha they would sure fire someone for not meeting production! nm

She sounds like the type to go off on a tangent and fire you
over her own overcommitments. I'd tell her that you agreed to work M-F whatever hours and that anything else was "extra". You are not being paid "extra" and you don't appreciate the fact that she think's it's your fault she overextended herself. You did not promise to do extra work, you helped her out as a favor. Now she's being ungrateful about it.
Urgh. That's why I never liked working for the small MTSOs. No matter how much you do for them, they never pay you extra, they blame you for everything, they're always overstressed and curt toward people, and they never have anything nice to say. They expect you to be available 24/7 and they forget that they are the ones running the business, not us. It's so easy to blame someone else for your own responsibilities. It's so easy to dump all your garbage dictators and problems on someone else, then blame them for everything that goes wrong. Never an appreciative word or extra pay for overtime, evenings, weekends. Then they wonder why none of us want to work those shifts.
I was so freaked last night. We almost had a house fire
due to Christmas lights. If we had left the lights on all night, we definitely would have had a fire. For some strange reason, one of my kids unplugged the lights. Then he told us there were burn marks on the plug. The plug-ins had melted the power strip, and the carpet was even hot. That would have really sucked. Last year, one of my neighbors down the street lost her home to a fire right before Christmas.
Get OUT! Good for you Albert! Fire Fingers, eh? nm

I would think the school could fire him if he can't effectively teach- sm
and the kids take advantage, etc. It is for his own good as well as everyone else that he can hear. They make hearing aids so small now, vanity is a big price to pay for not being able to hear. I would think though that the school would have good cause to can him though IF he does not try to work to the best of his ability and if hearing aids help him to work better than he needs to do it, no one is going to make fun of him for wearing them (he's a big boy anyway I'm sure he could take what the kids can dish out), I would think he'd have more trouble from the kids without them. Good luck in making him see sense.
It took the fire department to get her out of the house! My GAWD!!!!
Hot dogs, smores over the fire pit before doing fireworks in our
[
And when the fire alarm goes off above your head, MOVE AWAY.
take Amanda's challenge. it's down a lot of posts with a fire tag.NM
no message.
Tell that to the President and congressmen/women that should be a requirement sm
and lets see what happen LOL
the president's vacation isn't long enough. needs to be permanent.
as for brain surgeons, they may be making enough money to pay the rent AND take a vacation; I'm not.
My husband is a union president and says we should definitely organize.
But what would then stop them from further outsourcing?
Your opening statement about our President is disrespectful.
Whether or not you like him, he is still the President and that office should be respected. Unfortunately, your statement is reflective of the mindset and mentality of many in our country. And people have to ask why the rest of the world doesn't like us--we don't even like each other.
At the very least you should be respectful of those in positions of authority. It's modeling of appropriate behavior that our children see and emulate themselves.
