Deserve it?
Then every American who is displaced by fire, tornado or whatever disaster ALSO deserves it. I'm all for HELPING people get back on their feet.and help whomever whenever I can but I feel no obligation to help anyone who by their own choice lives off the government. People who lived off the govt before the hurricane will just go back to what they've always done (excluding disabled, eldlerly and infirm) and those who have always taken care of themselves will go back to doing what they've always done.
You re correct in all you say about the govt. If we, as individuals, handled our finances like the govt, they would call us bankrupt and I expect this country to be bankrupt in the not too distance future.
No flames please, it's just my opinion.
you could say what I deserve
That is utterly judgmental, wrong and rude.
Well you deserve a sm
 too for experiencing that. I can understand as I've had a similar type week. It just keeps "getting better" NOT!!
Since you MIGHT get paid Friday, maybe you should hold your next batch of work and let her know you MIGHT send it Friday, then again you MIGHT not. I know, but it would be nice, wouldn't it? 
I don't think what you are asking is too far off from what you deserve.
The worst they can do is come back with a lower counter offer at which time you can make a decision. Good luck to you!
You go, girl! He does not deserve
the patronage of any sensible person.
they deserve the 2,000 from govt
Do you keep track what is happening to our tax money for Iraq? Halliburton? FEMA? Homeland Security Dept? How much do we pay each politician and do they work 8 hours or more a day? Did they check with the tax payer when they went on a months paid vacation? Our taxes also pay for politicians health plans. Dont worry you wont feel it, you will continue to pay the same taxes. These people were displaced, due to a major screw up, either local, state or federal govt..The investigation will tell. In the meantime, they no longer have jobs, escaped with the clothes on their bodies, they have no money. The govt is now their employer until they can get new jobs and homes. Do you tell your employer what you do with each paycheck? Well, they shouldnt have to either. They werent asking for hand outs, then the hurricane and levee broke. It is not their fault, they are victims..It is the govts fault, either local, state or federal. Buy alcohol? LOL, I think I would buy them a beer after all they have gone through and still are going through. Our tax money is wasted every day by the govt, give aways, pay offs, pork, mismanagement. At least I know my tax money is going to human beings that are in dire need. God help them all to get over this preventable tragedy.
They deserve the comments

Disagree. MTs deserve to know what is

and if what YOU say is true, you deserve an

We certainly deserve more respect than that!
First decide exactly what it is you want and believe you deserve. SM
Have some facts ready to back up your position...time spent, mileage estimates if you are doing any driving as part of it, additional skills you have had to develop (for example, using or building spreadsheets, drafting user requirements, implementation plans, project management software, report design, team leadership skills, etc.). Then you might casually broach the subject while giving a progress report to your boss and if he/she seems at all receptive, suggest scheduling a one-on-one session when you can go into more detail. Don't worry about not having a degree. I was a senior project manager for 8 years with a large insurance company without a degree. The very least you can expect is to be taken off of the production part of your job until the project is complete (assuming you are putting in 8-hour days on the project). Good luck!
no doubt we deserve more
Hi other Emily!! :)
I took a look at my own medical records and was apalled at the medical errors and mistakes in the reports... There should be some standard in this industry! I work my ass of and have 98-99% accuracy for the past 10 years and it is disappointing to see what they are willing to accept to save some money. If the average person knew that their medical records were not being done with the quality and care that I make myself give... I think most would be upset. Maybe I'm crazy... but I know this as well, not EVERYONE can be a transcriptionist! This is a skilled trade and I am definitely feeling unappreciated lately, but obviously there is little we can do about it.
About your own company, I am an IC, and I just asked for a raise (i should have just stated it) but either way they aren't taking it. I was underbid by 2 cents a line and they, I'm sure, will go with them even though they "want to keep me". I feel angry that there isn't some standard that we are set forth and that we all have. Then again, it's all gonna go to voice response at some point, and only editors will then be needed. It's time for a career change, it's just a sobering thought and I'm not ready to do it...
Good luck with what you decide
P.S. - Not saying I don't work hard and don't deserve
good money but I just mean that you've got to have some incentive to work as hard as you have to work to get through medical school in order to have people willing to do it.
You're welcome, and you deserve the compliment. (sm)
Effective writing isn't all about long, fancy words, or even about proper spelling & punctuation (as the Grammar Police would like us to believe), it's about GETTING THE POINT ACROSS. And you do that 200%.
And why do we think that we deserve to live better than other people?
This country is plagued with consumerism and lots of people don't seem to know when enough is enough. We have garages for our cars and other stuff when people in other parts of the world don't even have anything close to our garages to live in. No where have I read that only Americans are entitled to all these luxuries that we seem to think we can't live without. (Having food, clothing, shelter and clean drinking water is considered a luxury in many parts of the world, so please don't use that as a bully pulpit.)
I, too, am tired of this argument!
of course...you may not get it but you deserve it (small mess)
You mention annual and cost of living raises, what about incentive raises. Anything not in your job description should constitute some type of compensation.
If no money, at least get this on your resume and added to your personnel file, yes?
go for it because if they say no you know where you stand. knowing where you stand can be important. if you do not ask you will never know and you may start feeling resentful.
just my opinion...
they certainly would not let you go or anything, right? perhaps you could ask for a review with your manager (something in writing) and then go for it ?
Why I deserve more money and better treatment as an MT...
I do NOT transcribe "medial sonoscopy."
Good Lord.
I think MTs deserve to have QA who know their stuff. QA should be more qualified than an average MT
QA specialists are specialists in the field. Of course there are new things learned every day, but a good QA person KNOWS that melena is different than melanotic...it is a given. There are certain things you have to know and that is one of them.
Many companies *think* they can just hire anyone for QA and call them QA and that is why so many ads you see say they pay 3 cents a line, etc.
QA staff should have megayears of experience in MT as well as at least 3 years of experience doing straight QA with the mentoring factor involved also.
All companies owe this to their MTs and if you are getting less, you are not getting what you deserve from your employer.
I have no problem helping people who deserve it
I welcome anyone from there who has gotten up in the morning and worked like the rest of us and was hit with an unfortunate run of bad luck, but when I see people taking TV's out of stores, shooting at the EMT's who are trying to help people, and crapping all over the Astrodome, no thanks. I don't want them in my city or even on my planet.
Splurge and stay at the Atlantis. You two deserve this!

Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

I think you sound self absorbed to feel you deserve gifts. Being a mother is selfless. nm

Good for you! You sound like a very nice and generous person and you deserve all your good luck! nm

Give professional reasons why you deserve it, not personal reasons

Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!
:)
But expensive gin and expensive cheese. I deserve it.

YES, i am happy there too, after 5 yr!

To Happy MT
I am happy at MDI just wish they would send a little more love our way. I switch to different accounts when they are short and work many weekends and if I am correct I have worked most of the holidays. I get a phone call or email last minute that they need coverage and I do not say no. I start early and finish late. I have talked to others in the same boat and they are sad. . I know they merged with Transend and it takes time to get things in order but when it seems that some get the bonuses and some of us are overlooked it does not seem right. I think they need to look at everyone in the same light and do the right thing.
Is anyone happy with MQ?
???
Happy now!
23 the first time (then-husband got the 7-year-itch). 34 second time. I had two miscarriages the first time around. This marriage - We have two great little boys!!
I am very happy nm

Happy so far
Hi, I have only been with MQ for 7 months, but I have friends that have been with MQ and have tried other companies, and the consensus is...their new system DQS (DocQscribe) is VERY user friendly compared to other company's systems. AND, as far as WE are concerned, MQ is very flexible time-wise. But I have read other posts that maybe new hires are more chained to a set schedule. My friends and I are out of 2 offices that seem to be very lenient as to scheduling. Personally, I work more hours than I signed up for. But, if MQ were to call when I am away from my computer, (bathroom), like a poster below stated about a different company, I would be VERY aggravated, especially since I am post-colectomy with less than satisfactory results!!! (If you get my drift.)
Be Happy about it
My 20-year-old son suffers every day from injuries he received during his high school football career. He has had broken bones, dislocated shoulders, and he has to wear a mouth brace due to jaw injuries. The medication he takes for his jaw has caused a stomach ulcer, which along with the pain from the jaw, caused his blood pressure to elevated. He said more times than I could count, "I wish I had not played football." Support his decision and be happy that he is not out there getting all banged up.
Happy here
Look, most people who are happy with a company don't just get on a message board to say, "I had a great day at work today," or "I think I make a decent wage and I'm happy with it." They get on to complain or ask questions or just to surf and see what others are talking about. The people who are complaining are loud and you hear them a lot. MQ seems to have more MTs who have been with them for 5+ years than any other company. That should tell you something right there.
Happy MQ MT
I wonder about the people that are so unhappy about MQ. Where did they work before? Was it inhouse? Did they come there direct from a school. What is it that makes the difference of some people being happy and others very disappointed. Why do some have an abundance of work and others have none? Is it the quality of work being done?
I am happy!
I am happy working at MQ. I come to this site usually for a good laugh, and sometimes I do post. I don't flame the people that complain all the time, I just wonder why they do?!?!?!
We should start a poll - Are you happy with MQ or aren't you - no big explanations - just a YES OR A NO. My answer is YES!
happy
I am happy with MQ!! I think the people who are happy with MQ (and I think there are a lot) just don't take the time to say so...so today I am!!
I USED to be happy but......
I haven't had a decent line count in almost a week and it has been 6 months since I had a second phone line installed and I have yet to see a single dime in reimbursement that I was told I would receive. Why do I stay? Because this is my first MT job and I've only been there a year. Who else will hire me at this point?
I am happy!!!

I'm happy!

I am sure that they are happy to have me
as an employee considering I am one of the only few who actually likes working for them. I am a high producer for them, as well. There would be no reason Medquist wouldn't be proud to have me as an employee. They need to get rid of the big fat losers like you.
How happy are you??
Are you not the same ER who was on here last week trashing the Amherst office?
I'm happy for you!
I, on the other hand, had my children in my mid to late 30's. I'm 45 and have a 12 and 5 year old. At 50, I'll have a teenager and another one who will be right behind him. There is definitely something to be said for having your kids when you are younger, not to say I am not enjoying mine - I'll be pretty old when they are on their own. 
I'm happy for you
Since your employer was confident in giving you more work, then I guess you have been doing the right thing this past year. Just keep it up and stretch those shoulders every now and then =).
Then I am happy for ya!
Glad you did something about it!
Very happy at OSi...
I am happy! (sm)
OSi is like a breath of fresh air (to me that is)! They have always taken care of me as a transcriptionist.
There are negative posts on the boards from less than mature transcriptionists who are trying to make a good company look bad. An opinion is fine, but some of them have gone past the line, and so, you have to look a little farther than the posts you see even the positive ones. With that, if you read about the company on their website and you feel it fits your life, then go for it, no matter which company. I worked for Medquist for 2 years and I didn't like the experience I had, but that doesn't mean the next person has the same experience.
Transcription is a God send to me and if the company I work for don't fit me, I find one that does. Each to their own.
AND A HAPPY ONE...
to you and yours!
Happy X-Mas (War is Over if U want it)!
:)
Let's be happy, come on who's happy with me !!!??? (sm)
Let me tell ya something, we gotta get cheery around here. Who's company makes them happy !?!?!
