No, actually they don't. You guys run on emotion, not fact. And when fact is presented,

More detail?
Can you be more specific about what the * signifies? Are you using a template where you would be going to a particular field all the time or to a particular heading or something. If you are going to the same word, I can help you write a macro for that but I would need to know what you mean exactly.
Did you have to go into such great detail?
Apparently you spent quite a bit of time cruising the spaces on myspace...sickening...
can you explain in detail how you can do that?
Because unless you have a ton of normals I can't see how anyone even the fastest typist can do that - been doing this for 25 years and still type over 100 lpm
It wasn't far off at all. I can't go into detail though obviously.

and before you correct my detail, its "WAS" haha

I was wondering the same thing. Can you go into more detail about the Wifi sm
Is this like a credit card thing or what? Where do you get it/cost? I will be doing a lot of camping this year and will need to download files and work while still connected to the internet.
Review in great detail with the company first....

Not biting ... it's been discussed in heated detail on about pg 3 of this board. haha

7 or even 7.5 cpl is slave labor
I had a company offer me 7.5 cents recently and I said no, perservered it out, and found a great company that pays 10 cents a line and they actually care about their MTs, not treat them like a number. Hold out for what you deserve to be paid and don't compromise. A company paying 7 cents is looking for slave labor.
Slave labor
... sounds like someone is on their high horse in a third world country and expects American MTs to get with the slave labor mentality!
Slave Wages
I dont know who you work for but I make about $25-30 per hour. I work two jobs and 10-12 hours a day and on weekends and I make between $6000 and $7000 per month. I know that is excessive for hours but I am trying to pay off my house, car, etc and I am spoiling my 3 kids rotten!!
I type radiology, which I believe is the easiest and fastest to learn and type.
Slave labor, I agree
His $10 bid was probably from China (or the company which MT's are not allowed to talk about here anymore).
If you think you are working for slave wages now...
Medical transcription is not your field. We work for slave wages and have to compete with offshore transcriptionists who work for next to nothing.
You will need to have an extensive medical knowledge, be willing to constantly purchase new equipment and reference books, and for all of that you get paid worse than a Wal-Mart greeter. Wages consistently have been going down, not up.
If you have a bachelor's degree, I would look into other fields if I were you.
The only way I would recommend this field to someone is if they are handicapped or have an ill child or something that forces them to work from home. Aside from that, I wouldn't recommend it.
Again, if you make yourself a slave to them they will never respect you.
and that will give her a nudge towards "independence" instead of being dependent on you and not appreciating it.
Your heart is in the right place but sometimes good-intentioned people like yourself unknowingly make themselves appear to be a doormat and can't figure out why they get treated as such.

gotta love your ID "MQ Slave" says it all.
Tooooo funny. My daughter stopped in the other day and headed right to my office. She said, "OH MY GAWD! MOM'S IN THE KITCHEN!" 
I just answered the insurance post. I don't know if they have slave labor or not. nm

Sleeping all day long while my little fantasy slave does my lines LOL :-)
Wow... you vacuum every day? Dang, I'd never even get 50 lines done a day if I did that. I maintain and clean seriously on my one day off, but... hats off to you, sister!
6 cents a line is not competitive imo. More like slave wages.

yes, pay by production reminds me of slave labor on an assembly line, with pitiful
payback. Apparently, these nationals get away with this because we're willing to sell ourselves so cheaply to work at home. It's like having a constant monkey on your back to make production, with so many variables thrown in each day that it's just nothing but stress. And, what if you are having a bad day, not feeling up to snuff? NO CAN DO, or your paycheck reflects it. I mean, everyone has off/slow days now and then, but we're expected to work in constant high gear for fear of the loss in income. I live in a rural area, with in-house MT jobs scarce, which is why I'm doing this, but if there WERE an opening in a hospital, I'd run for it.
can you stand on your feet all day, be abused by better than thou customers, work for slave wages?
Well what is slave labor? Unpaid? Do these people willing report to work unpaid?
Sounds like they may work for a certain national MT company with a private board on MT Stars. Now that's slave labor. Walmart is a walk in the park compared to the national MT company with the private board.
not just the fact of being PT, but sm
she claims to work two jobs! Who has that much time. I don't believe it's physically possible to work that much, but that's just IMHO, of course!
I don't do it all day either - in fact,
I worked around parts of Louisiana in hospitals as a Transcriptionist in the past! Now I come to NOLA to vacation. I'll be there for a few days in September and then again in October and then again maybe in November.
IT IS A FACT
The DocQmanage program has a page where the managers can select or deselect anything they want to be counted, i.e. spaces, letters, numbers, headers, footers, (a whole page full of things). BUT: The main thing is this - they can put whatever number they want in there as a DIVISOR to divide the number of characters by; and the characters are almost always not counted correctly because they have selected to "not count" spaces, headers, footers, numbers, etc, etc. THEY ARE CROOKS.
Its a fact - CM
Hi CM - can you e-mail me? thanks.
IT IS A FACT
They did not tell us this, as far as the F9. I just checked it and you are absolutely right. They told us where we could find our line count. What a bunch of BS. Do you happen to know if every company has their own "computations" to reduce line counts? How sad this is :<
Oh, I'm with you there. In fact, I
if anyone ever feels like just giving up on EVERYBODY in their live and walking away and starting a new life with a clean slate? All my kids have already left home or are close to leaving home age. One is doing horribly in school and won't put any effort into it. One was a bitch on wheels this morning and is in trouble for underage drinking. One is doing better than the other 2 but just informed me it's going to take 2 more years to get through college (she's a junior now) and we can't afford another year. And DH wet the bed last night and I am just beside myself. The only time he has ever done that is when he was drinking. He swears he hasn't been drinking (he's an alcoholic). Yah right. I feel like I am the only one who halfway has it together.
And financially - let's not even go there.
I feel like taking the cat and driving off into the sunset and never coming back.
They are asking how you know this for a fact?
It was a big stink on another board some time ago about how people claim to know things FOR A FACT.
Yes, and let's not get into the fact that most sm
daycares all over the country are "state regulated" not state-run, but receive millions of dollars a year from moms and dads who get their childcare paid for by the state (our tax dollars) so that they could work out of the home.
When people gripe about us moms who stay at home with our children they should be glad that we are working AND taking care of our children and not depending on the state or grandma to do it!!!
was the fact that she was gone even
Was an explanation given as to where she was and if she'd be back? I don't watch that show, all those women grate on my nerves, but I am curious as to know if they even broached the subject of the missing Star! (She's so tacky...tried to get her whole wedding for free, puhleeze...)!!!
no that's not a fact
I've been using AT&T CallVantage for about a year without a single problem. In fact, when I signed up I told the rep what I did and he said it was not a problem.
That was not me. In fact, I actually
and that is why I posted to the person who did that, letting that poster know that the original poster did not post twice. However, your message and placement of same sure did indicate that you were *speaking* to me.
do you know this for a fact?
nm
In fact, I may (sm)
email you when I get around to this, if you don't mind!
No, in fact
although I could originally connect to the VPN client, after a short while I could not. So I was disconnecting and reconnecting the router when I needed to do any work and now - for the red herring - I can't even use the wireless now. It doesn't recognize my modem.
As a matter of fact just today - I had been too busy to fool with it - I tried to get in touch with a really good tech support networking guy I used to know who knows transcriptionists. I am waiting for him to call me back. Hopefully I can bring him in to solve this mess. I will update you. I will say that other poster was right about the Belkin being about a thousand times easier to hook up than the Linksys, you wouldn't think there would be that much of a difference but it was so much simpler.
The fact is ...
no one even knows who we are, so it must be our own insecurities that allow us to be upset by those critical people.
I guess on top of that though, it is simply frustrating and hurtful that others want to lash out about such nonsense. The truth is, those people are probably upset about something in their own lives. It would be better for all of us (especially them) if they would look within a little bit more.
We'd all be better off if we spread a little more sunshine.
this is not FACT
actually this is opinion based about them being bad employers... they did a WHOLE story on it... wal mart is not as bad as some think from the gossipy rumors!
Did anyone ever think about the fact sm
that if a huge outcry is put up about medical records being transmitted electronically, that just might put an end to the capability of working from home? Many of us work out of the comfort and convernience of our homes and, of course, since we also transmit those records electronically, how would that affect us?
I was referring to the fact that (sm)
it's free, unlike other sites, to post messages and such here. That's what FREE I was referring to! 
I agree. In fact, when somebody says....
that their marriage is heaven and their spouse is fabulous, I get suspicious. I have a great marriage, but in 14 years there have been times when he (and I) have acted like a bonehead. One HUGE fight I recall was the day he got off the phone with his brother and told me that he was going to the races. There I was with 2 babies in my lap (less than a year apart) and it was Saturday. I'd already gone through 5 days with him at work with those 2 babies in my lap, and I wasn't too keen on him tooting off to have fun while I sat there yet again with the kids. I just wanted the courtesy of him asking if I minded if he went, but instead he just assumed he could take off without a care in the world. He felt I was asking him to give him permission. Anyway, it was a mess. It didn't mean he was a bad husband deserving divorce papers (he's considerate about 99% of the time), but it was a "bad day." It happens. Nobody is perfect.
And in view of the fact that........
women often present with atypical symptoms of a myocardial infarction, and the fact that she would have sued their PANTS OFF if she had been dismissed as having heartburn when she in fact had an MI, what is the alternative here?
The fact that you have stayed with them
for so long amazes me. You must be a saint! Good luck to you. I hope you find what you are looking for.
No. I would work just like I do now. In fact,
they probably do random checks that we don't even know about.
I'm not saying that isn't fact ... I just don't believe rumors until
fact is presnted.
I guess I will find soon enough.
I know for a fact MQ has been bought out
I'm the one who bought it, and i've decided as the owner of MQ, you all get a life time supply of chapstick. enjoy. 
It is a fun fact and very motivational (sm)
I used Weight Watchers to lose about 75 pounds. Whenever someone was discouraged because they "only lost a pound," our instructor would recite that fun fact and it's incredible how that 1 pound doesn't seen so small any more!
Good luck to you and keep up the good work!
ASR reduction is a fact
I have a letter in hand with my new base pay rate which has been reduced by 20% for ME (ASR) work. I am under the Baltimore CSC office and am an SE. I was told I can opt out of ASR but the work is low and MTs who have already opted out are running out of work. So, it is not speculation and if I had a scanner hooked to this computer, I would prove it.
They are angry. They don't want or need fact,
if they weren't so abrasive, offensive and racist it would actually be quite sad.
Even more sad is the fact that there doesn't seem to be - sm
the support network or help out there for parents of kids with this kind of behavioral problem.
Until I can help her find some more information, I have called her back and suggested that she call Tater's psychologist for an "emergency" meeting and see if she can offer anything else to them.
