    I would contact the bank, stop the auto debits, contact the lender...
    Contact the lender, explain that you stopped the payment because of financial difficulty. Ask if they have a hardship plan. You probably have a 20-day grace period on your loan payment, (they report to credit bureaus when 30 days late) and you probably also have a grace period on your insurance. In the meantime within those 20 days of grace, FIND A WAY to make some cash. It seems, at least from my experience, that when you get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. If you use next month's check to pay last month's bills, you never get out of the hole. I've been in that downward spiral and I understand what you're going through. I've sold things on Ebay, consigned clothing at consignment stores, and worked two jobs just to stay afloat at times. Every little bit helps. It can be done. But don't WAIT, call them today!!

    I don't believe it was stolen ...
    I think the guy took it home on purpose, sold it, and SAID it was stolen.

    He just happens to take the disk home (even though he's not supposed to) and happens to be burglarized and it is stolen? Too much coincidence as far as I'm concerned.

    Stolen Summer (2002).
    Synopsis





    In 1970s Chicago, two boys bridge the sectarian divide between the Jewish and Irish-Catholic faiths and forge a friendship. When the Jewish boy discovers he is dying, his Christian friend vows to assist him in his quest to go to heaven, with predictable reactions from their families. This film is the result of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Project Greenlight and was well received at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.

    Stolen computers from the VA Hospital------
    Did you hear about the two different workplaces getting their computers stolen?  Someone from the Veterens Hospital brought a computer home to their house and then is was stolen.  It has at least 50,000 name of Veterens whose medical conditions and personal information was on it.  The news said the  diagnostic codes are universal and can be easily read.   Someone else was on a plane and their laptop was stolen which had Stop and Shop employees info on it.    Then at a college in CT someone broke into the computer system and they are not sure what was taken so they sent a letter to anyone who was associated with that college in the last8 years even if you got a letter because you were inquiring about that college  and so my daughters  had to call the credit bureau to warn them because my two daugters are associated with that college.

    Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
    program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.

    It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.

    We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.

    It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!

    The owner
    should be happy you left a blank if you weren't sure of it. It's much better to blank than to guess on somethin, and even people in the business a long time have issues when beginning something new.

    OV/owner
    I have 15 years experience and when I first read your note, even I had to stop and scratch my head for a second for what OV meant, (LOL) but I have it in my expander. I agree with the other post in that the owner should be glad you left a blank than to guess at something. I like to think that would be the mark of a good Transcriptionist to leave a blank rather than gamble at making a mistake. Also, when we learn new things, it can be stressful because you are trying to do a good job in areas where we are all new and perhaps learning new things and words. I say, keep up the good work and we all learn from our blanks whether we are new in the business or not. She was really harsh to make that comment.

    as a former MTSO owner

    Personally, I would not hire anyone unless they could transcribe the hardest dictator I had. And that is at LEAST two years of acute care experience.

    I think the expression is, "burned once, twice shy." 


    FROM THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY
    This came from an email from Andy, the owner, last December to the employees:

    "Whether we think offshore labor is right or wrong, it has become a fact we cannot escape from. OSi will not actively pursue offshore labor contracts, but we have made the decision to experiment with using some offshore labor to save this large OSi client from going elsewhere. We believe this is the best decision for our employees assigned to this account and the company because this account is growing and we can assign the offshore part to the future increases and not have to reassign any OSi MTs. OSi is committed to continue using US MTs for the majority of their work and we will continue to resist going offshore."

    He is talking about Ochsner, and I was told that they STILL offshore to them and also to Sarasota and Mayo.

    The problem is that they LIED AND DENIED AND LIED AND DENIED this for years. They got caught when the then-QA manager, SD, mistakenly forwarded an email from the Indian company to the company employees. Of course, she was demoted, so they hired NP to replace her. However, FA pitched a hissy and threatened to go on strike because she was overlooked, so they kissed her a$$ and moved NP to another position. Not surprisingly, that department has gone straight to the toilet, and almost everyone has either quit or gotten fired, in addition to the mass exodus of employees since this came to light, because she is incompetent, inexperienced, and daffy as hell and is the most irresponsible, nonproductive person in a management position.

    Be careful. If you are not in THE circle and kiss a$$, you are so dispensable that it is not even funny.

    Any company that repeatedly lies about offshoring, promotes incapacitated people on power trips, and sends the work offshore in the first place, is ruthless and cannot be trusted.

    Look elsewhere. It will only get worse!

    Sante Fe owner
    I bought a 2004 Sante Fe and I absolutely love it.  I get 27/mpg in the city and about 35/mpg highway.  It is roomy and comfortable.  You also can't beat the warranty.  I had some paint chipping right where the doors close on the bottom.  I called the 800#, took it in and they fixed it without a nudge and gave me a 2005 to drive in the mean time.  Mine is a 6 cyl and fully loaded with a sunroof and all and I only paid $17,000 for it.  It'll be paid off in September!  Yippee!
    Nobody is satisfied with 8.5 if owner is getting 19. (nt)

    Not an owner and I do not farm out

    I agree that no one should work for $10.00 an hour in this profession.  Funny how I've gone from someone new in this thread to someone who owns an MTSO in this thread.  Wrong and wrong. 


    I have my own accounts and do my own work. 


    I just feel that if you form a group of burnouts, then you continue to be a burnout forever.  My initial thought was that only burnouts are invited to form a group by the OP?  What about new grads that have a lot to offer in this field that would love to be sitting in some of these burned out seats making some money. 


    If someone has been burned out time and time again, it is time to look inward at one's self and their choices in their career. 


    I think it would take one burn out session for me to know this is not my gig.  I'm not so sure I'd look for other burn outs to join me in my misery.   


    You are the owner of this business, are you not?
    If you want to make it 20 minutes, that's your perogative. You don't need to ask permission to do what you need to do.
    I would second your post as the owner
    of my company called me yesterday to assist me with a problem since I had some new antivirus put on my system, just was not working with my platform. This was not the first time she has helped me out and I really appreciate her.
    As an IC, you are a business owner .
    The organizations you mention are for employee labor relations.

    It is up to you to negotiate for your business.

    Will you PLEASE address this issue?  I don't want to hear you tell me you are trying to get things together since you claim to have been the web developer for some years. If you want people to trust you, do the right and LEGAL thing and take action.  Cutesy little picture of the 2 of you ... wonder what else was cooking that night?
    Not at TransTech, They are/were all MTs. Even the owner used to be an MT. One of the
    things I really respect most about this company actually. All supervisors, managers, leads and even the owner used to be MTs. I think the only ones who weren't are the IT staff.

    wasn't it???
    Is the owner's initials AM? sm

    If so, her rudness ran me away


    Emailed owner....
    Thank you for the offer. That is so nice. I just emailed the owner asking her if she had this information for me or if any of the other MTs there have it.  I will let you know and appreciate the help so much.
    The owner of the company said this.... AND
    on her site boasts about how she has 13 years experience and those working for her have superior quality, meet deadlines, and desire continued learning...

    You would think since she wants such superior quality work, she would be willing to pay for it. Undoubtedly this is a 6-7 cpl company...

    Yep, she no doubt gets superior quality there or newbies who will take anything and never expect more money.
    Former owner of MDI, now General Manager
    Wow - I most definitely do work at MDI.

    If you worked for MDI you would know how extremely busy we are. I sent out a mass email on Wednesday asking for extra help.

    I try to NEVER overhire, as I am a Transcriptionist myself and I realize that my MT's need the job and the money coming in on a regular basis. So I do take great offense at your post. AND YES, I really work at MDI.

    Please give me a call.

    Thanks,
    Liz
    I left another company because the owner sent out

    an email to people she felt confident would defend the company on another website against flames (and my name was on her list) asking us to keep up with the screen names of the people who had negative attitudes.  The purpose was to give this list to the recruiter who would then black ball the hiring of these people or get rid of the ones who were already employees..  After reading this agreement, I get the feeling they want something similar.  One thing I learned a long time ago is that you cannot control what other people feel, say, think or do.


    I turned notice the same day.


    Unleashed dog owner in wrong. sm
    According to Judge Judy, that guy's dog was not under his control, so he is responsible for any damages you suffered.  Unless you were in his yard but if you were on public sidewalk or street, he was negligent and in the wrong.  I think the policeman was wrong on this one.  If you got a report, great, if not, try to get one and take pics of any damages, bruises, etc.  A doctor's report could be benefieal too.
