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.
I work live....
I don't have to download but three dictations, one after another, usually 1-3 minutes in length, and have had no problems with my dial-up on the platform I work on. It may take a minute for three files to download, but then when I upload the first file upon completion my next dictation is already there waiting for me to begin typing right away. While I am typing, then another dictation downloads.
I connect most consistently with 50.6 Kbps and it has worked well so far. However, I have never experienced/worked with high speed connection so I don't know what I am missing. :D
I actually prefer working on a platform as to downloading from an FTP site or via E-mail as it is actually more time consuming for me when I have done that in the past. :)
I certainly will be giving the ExpressCard a try as I will be given two weeks to decide to keep it or return it. I will also keep my ISP for awhile too just to see how this all works. :) My major concern is whether I get a good signal out here in the boonies. :D If Verizon doesn't work for me, then I will try Sprint when they start getting the ExpressCards in but Verizon will receive them first is my understanding.
Thanks so very much for your feedback. I sincerely appreciate it.

I used to work on Big Beaver Rd. in Troy, MI. now live in TN sm
They have bizarre town names: Buck Snort, Defeated, Difficult, Hanging Limb, Bell Buckle. There is no way I'd ever live there.

I live in Georgia and I have never heard of this - I just work! nm

I also live in Georgia - how did they find out you work from home?

If you work for a national, what difference does it make where you live?
If you work locally, then yes I think it makes a difference. I work for a national, live in the boondocks and still do well.
You have to work in their Harrison office. I contacted them in August, but I live across the

How to research a supposed law in California saying I owe taxes for work there even though I live ou
My boss said that a law was passed in California (not a new law apparently, but a law that wasn't "enforced") saying that out of state employees that work for whatever in California have to pay California state taxes? I can see why this would make sense and why it wouldn't. However they just sent me the form, but are now saying they aren't really sure I do have to pay now, but fill it out anyway. Well I don't want money taken out that is mine! Any ideas how to research this with that little information? Thank you!

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?
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?
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!
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.
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
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.
Yeah. They are so fair that they fired their president like they fire everyone else.

No fire patrol for MQ needed..it's for the flamin' idiots who
WON'T go somewhere else. They just stand there like an idiot saying, "please, please MQ -- Please dump more crap on me...please cheat me more...I'm happy to take it"!! ROFL
I mean it. That's whatcha look like and sound like.
Again...Same old complaints and whine from you? Same old answers from us...Get the heck outta Dodge!! LMAO
Don't ya just hate it when your misery won't produce that for others?!!
We appreciate the comedy routine though, ladies! Always fun to come and laugh at those who are incapable of stopping the big bad companies from using them BY LEAVING. LMAO
Fire patrol means putting out FIRES, you dum-dum. LOL

where there is smoke there is fire and these lawsuits are pretty much backed up by SEC.
Fraudulent billing, books that are cooked, are not claims that are made frivilously and are not accepted into a court of law without some merit. Watch and see. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it may be a duck. Apply that to everyone who deals with MQ involved in a lawsuit against them, MTs, Shareholders and Clients. Plus the delisting by SEC. Mighty suspicious huh? Not just one person or entity but three different ones - PLUS SEC.
Retired fire captain. His pension is doing it's thing for us, thank God! nm

I type fire claims/investigation reports
It's really easy work and pays pretty good. It's also nice to have a break from medical, but some of the reports are really sad to type. I do the work for a local fire chief that has a side business and he investigates a lot of car accidents when the car catches on fire. A lot of times there are fatalities involved, and they usually involve children too. They can get pretty gruesome when they go into detail though. I get paid by the page and most of the time I type depo summaries, which are just highlighted parts of the deposition that I type into a summarized report. I actually put an ad in the local paper for transcription work and got this account. It's only about $400/month, but I do MT part time too.
Oh yeah baby, just 12 more hits and I get FLAMED! Come on' give me FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm
,
Both. Choice A "can" put you there, but so can a major illness, accident, fire, etc.
with this economy it is harder and harder to work your way out of poverty no matter what the reason for being there is.
If I was chosen, I would learn to make fire and put on weight before leaving. nm
:+
Really really stinks to fire someone in a conference call for gosh sakes. nm

Live and let live. Don't force your lifestyle on me.

I used to live in MN now I live in MS and they were both cold last night!
Will take MS cold over MN cold any day, and I don't miss the snow. I miss the Mall of America, though!
I live in PA, can I help? If they are close to where I live, I would go check them out for ya!
Where in PA is this company?
You tell them my sister MQMT. MQ fire patrol out in full force today!
 But we can contain their idiot remarks with logic.
Neighbor has indoor woodburning stove, started house on fire twice. sm
He has vinyl siding and installed the outside pipes himself. Apparently he is in over his head. Last year, his siding started on fire and he burnt up his electrical wiring. When heating season started this year, the fire department was back. He did it again. Make sure you have a professional do the work.
Why would I go backwards? Simple thing is to fire the MTs whose quality is crappy. Weeded out abou
I get paid rather well, but I really should not have to do an MTs job. The point is I DON'T WANT TO TYPE!! Why would I want to be an MT and type ALLL THE TIME?
You must live where I live. I ran into the same sort of SM
situation when I was the president-elect of the local chapter and the VP-elect of the state chapter. I bailed out. There was no fighting it.
