They are immediate losers when it comes down to winning any sort of valid logical argument and you can see this person is a LOSER because they did not mention any companies to support their argument and instead lashed out at you. HOW SMART IS THAT?

I think I would refuse too. I've seen some pretty silly names here, including Why Worry Lane and

Yeah. What's their point. What do they have to worry about. You can't file a claim against t
I think they need to get their facts straight.
The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make
:(
My point is, work a NORMAL EIGHT HOUR SHIFT..dont worry
It takes away from the quality and the turnaround time... 
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.
Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.
Really soap-operaish and annoying.
don't worry about it. some people sm
just want to argue. I have read between the lines on your posts and I truly get what you are trying to say.
Personally, if I were someone who could change things and use your services to do it, you would be hired.
The MTs that want to argue are going to be sitting here years from now doing this same old stuff adn complaining when the wages are down to 1 cpl.
The ideas you give can be used in any business. I wish the whole field of MT would go back "in-house" and forget all this working at home junk. Personally I wish somebody would make a law that says no medical records can be transcribed off of a facility site OR overseas. Would solve the problem and you would see a lot more professionalism in the business.
The biz could go back to new people coming in-house and being trained for a successful career and the crap would get weeded out.
calling it like it is does not make me a bully
It makes me a realist with enough courage to speak the truth. Ask anyone in management, anyone responsible for the end product or bottom line, whether it is in MT or any other field, and you will hear the same thing. When a person does not care about what they are doing and they do not take measures to change their situation, they are causing the damage to themselves. Ask any mental health caregiver and you will hear the same thing. When it becomes uncomfortable enough, you will do something different. If you don't, then you must accept the responsibility for your own unhappiness.
I am not blind to the fact that there are misuses by QA people, no more than with MTs who want to whine about being picked on righteously or wrongly. What i do say is this: If you do not care about what you do, change your situation. I can sugarcoat that or say it blunty, but the meaning is unaltered. You can agree or disagree and still it does not change the message. If you don't like it, do something about it (and this part I added because I just like it) stop whining about it. The rest of us have more important issues in life to be concerned about.
Don't worry about age (I'm 45 too), in this age of people living so long,

Do not worry the posters below - some people will argue about ANYthing!
Hope your party is a great success! :-)
You are the one who started this negativity calling people fools. You are the one
who started this whole discussion. Now you are surprised someone disputes you? OMG! If this wasn't so funny I would be genuinely concerned about your mental health.
Don't worry about what you have to pay an accountant. You'll make it up
So simple. Go to the supervisor and tell them the names of the two people who have two different
answers and ask supervisor if she could let you know which of the two answers/orders were correct. That keeps you out of the middle he-said she-said and the supervisor can once and for all correct this so no one else has to go through second guessing what should be done.
Board names or not, some people, myself included...
don't care to discuss what they make. Why should we? It is such an individual thing and based on so many factors that is is impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions.
The type of work, as well as the MTs experience, ability to research effectively, retention and overall knowledge and intelligence, self-discipline (and much more) are variable, to say the least.
What others make is totally irrelevant to what someone else may make.
help for frantic mom
This is my second week working at home for the hospital that I work for. I love it and am grateful for the opportunity, but there are a couple of hours a during the day when I am working and my kids are up. They are 21/2 and 10 months. Please give me some tips on what other mother's have done to keep them busy and still be productive at work!!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I've seen quite a few names, first and last, of people
mgmt on this board in the past, in similar situations, which is why I felt I could post this question. I certainly don't think I was not being tactful to the people I asked about, as I complimented them and enjoyed working with them. I wouldn't mind my name being on this board if someone said something nice about me.
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
That was the point I was trying to make
Maybe I just didn't say it the correct way. I can't imagine what I would want to hide from anyone besides an abortion or a mental problem, depending on what it was.
That's the point - you CAN'T make
decent money on VR. They cut the line rate to 1/2 or 1/3 of regular, and it takes just as long as regular. We've already taken a hit in this industry & are barely surviving, and now we have to make 1/3 to 1/2 of that?! This industry will fail at this rate. Maybe that's a good thing because then we can start over without the huge corporations in the middle of it ruining it for everyone. Have you read the MQ board? Many of the ones doing VR have been getting paid minimum wage because they're making less than that on VR! It can't continue like this.
We got that point the first day on the job. People still need a little humor
Thanks all for helping me make my point.

And? Your point? It is a business. If they don't make
money, they won't have investors, and no investors means no backup,....no business. No work.
You show me a BUSINESS that is open just to have employees and give them their every want, and I'll show you an entity that failed as a business, and could not even survive as a charitable organization because of the lack of structure and standard.
If their business tactics and their employment package does not suit you, leave.
Thanks for responding! Will definitely make a point to see it. - nm

You make a good point
Keeping track was doable but you have to keep track. I still am not making that much hourly counting lines though. I'd better invest in some new tools.
my point is -- not like there's a shortage of people to talk to.

Thanks, MOMT. I have been known to sometimes get caught up trying to make my point, but... SM
I didn't think I was being rude. Thanks again, I was starting to take it a little personal, but some people are just sensitive, I guess.
Lisa, you make a very good point. sm
I guess I should have been a little more specific. If ALL MTs were to go on "strike" and not accept the low wages these MTSO's are offering, they eventually would HAVE to offer a decent wage we can live on. But, the other side of the coin is, if the MTS WOULD STRIKE, then the MTSO's would no doubt just hire those non-U.S. MTs anyway, because that is the reason in the first place they are paying so little. The U.S. MTs have no support, that's for sure. (and I apologize for the misspelling of a word in my previous post.)
Well that is real mature, calling me a rimrod. Why the name calling?
I am not telling everyone to leave this site. I gave info about MTSTars.net to let us, who have been on this site MTStars.com for many years to make up their own minds. YESTERDAY, I never got a straight answer about the owner of this board and now I know, but I was in the middle of asking questions earlier and my posts kept getting deleted. I was not calling anyone names, like YOU have and I am not insuling anyone like YOU have. NOT offshoring? Well he is from Pakistan am I right? I still do not know the truth. Can you supply me with more information about Dr. Ahmed?
Don't worry about it. In 5-6 years you'll have plenty to worry about!
A 10-year-old is never in a situation where anything can "happen," and they don't understand anything "happening" anyway. At this age they're only capable of "having a boyfriend" because that's what they see on TV - that's what the world "expects of us", to pair up and "like each other."
Her friends aren't talking about adult "things" to do in a "relationship" yet, and she doesn't even have those feelings, hormones, or needs yet so don't worry about it.
At 10, having a "boyfriend" is the equivalent to playing "dress up" or "make believe" and is just "sitting together in the cafeteria" at best.
Plus they move on to a new "boyfriend" in a week, a few weeks tops.
Relax, Mom. The part to worry about is yet to come and I wouldn't want to deal with that again for anything!
Best of luck and enjoy these years while you can.
i don't know why people make fun of mq and ceo(s) of mq. they are trying so hard
it takes TIME to award these prizes and to figure out pay increases. They have priorities you know. They are fighting lawsuits, figuring out bonuses for management and trying to save their own jobs or at least accumulate some cash in an offshore bank before going to jail or getting fired for running a scam operation bilking the shareholders, clients and MTs.
Just be patient. In a year or so Frank will come through (or at least his replacement) as to who won the Hawaii trip.
I'm with you ... people can make their own choices. nm

No need to laugh. Many people make that and much more. I do. nm

Some of us are IT people who make more money
doing MT. I've found that I know more about computers than the so-called IT people working for MT services. However, I would never recommend PC Doctor. AVG Free is the best free antivirus software out there. And you're not an id-iot. It's also tough to know which programs will cause a software conflict until you actually try them. Hope things go better for you.
I am not worried about what other people make... sm
What bothers me is that people post about how there wages are so low, their income is low, and it discourages the new people in the field before they get a chance to see for themselves what they can or cannot do. I just really do not see how people can not type more than 75-100 lines an hour if they are really working their job. I consistently type 350-400 lines an hour for 6 hours a day. That averages me to $35-40 an hour - which is way over minimum wage.
I have seen editors/QA people act put-upon because we make mistakes.
That's their JOB to correct mistakes. And while we are working on production and a QA/Editor has time to listen to something over and over, they act like we should have gotten this and why was it sent to QA blah, blah. Editors forget the sole purpose of their job is to fix the report and move on. Some of them have to lord it over you with comments that are totally unnecessary. Just give me the answer and I certainly don't need a speech or reprimand with the answer. You do your job and I'll do mine. I don't lecture you, don't lecture me.
Just make a "mean people" forum nm

KD, are you on crack - very few people make $50,000/year - sm
I make about $58,000, but I work my butt off doing it, have 18 years experience. You sound like a Sally Struthers ad when you make a comment like that! Next thing you know, you will be telling this woman that she can breastfeed her child while she is transcribing and have another one sitting on her lap!!
I do love this job, but I tell people to expect to make at least $25,000-$30,000/year.
Geez, you people make it sound like
"my family" has a bunch of incestuous perverts running around. Give it a break! My kids never even started it, the other kids at school did. ALL boys think it's funny to overexaggerate when they get hit in the privates. It's not like they're walking around playing doctor or anything. It's the rolling around on the ground, Oh! my privates! that they think is funny. As if your sons, brothers, or whoever is going to tell you about it anyway. You're overthinking it and turning it into something it's not. I did say I do not tolerate it or find it funny. I am a darn good parent and I don't trash talk my kids' teachers either. I've never pulled them out of classes or switched schools. So please, spare ME the lectures and get out of your little glass houses.
You people make me laugh.Half say they sm
betrayed their families by making pretend they weren't gay, but they were MADE to have families becuase you condem them for being together. So let me see if I get this straight-don't pretend you are straight and don't be gay. What is that called? Oh yeah, SICK. If people left each other alone to be what they were born to be we wouldn't have families betrayed to begin with. Get it????? Think hard.
some people need to make themselves sound important
Obviously this person who considers MT a "profession" is in denial and has low, if any, expectations for herself.
You can't make people up this late in the game!
LOL
Power can make people crazy.
She sounds like a manager who caused me to leave my last job. She also was terrible at details too, but what a mess she turned out to be, starting all the rumors. Ridiculous.
Defensive people make the most errors
I bet... if you are good you would be quiet, if you are a bad MT you will blast poor QA lady all day.
what do the middle people make per line?
I may be negotiating a contract directly with a radiology business, but I"ve only done independent contractor work up until now. I'd like to enter into negotiations seeming like I know my way around the block: what do companies (who hire transcriptionists) tend to make per line? How would I find that out?
Who ARE these people who make this stuff up every year charge $ for it??
I could make one up every year myself. Why do they think they are an authority. I have never understood this, and will never buy another one. I bought one in my life for $75. What a waste of money to read someone's "made up rules for this year."
But really. To make this work, don't you have to intrude upon people's lives and SM
make a horrible pest of yourself? Honestly? My riding instructor, who is one of the dearest friends I've ever had, gets into these schemes. His latest was Tahitian Noni juice.
He had some remarkable results with it on a horse that was just a juvenile delinquent - she reared in crossties, acted up at shows when she wasn't in the arena, she was just a PMSing witch.
So I was impressed. I went to a meeting with him. Come to find out, they don't actually want you to buy the Noni juice - they want you to recruit other people to recruit other people. Biggest mess of flim-flam I've ever seen.
the people who really make BIG BUCKS are business owners
especially when they go into...say- window washing or something right away, instead of into debt. In general, I'm for college - plan to push my kids to get their master's right away as that seems entry level nowadays - but where I made really good money was owning my own service. Make(made) more as an MTSO than I ever will as a nurse-practitioner.
But just because people are not willing to financially help doesn't make them any less helpful th

Questions like the one quoted SHOULD make people angry.
There's a difference between needing help with something difficult, and asking a question that NOBODY who is working as an MT should have to ask. If you can't figure that word out or find the answer yourself, you shouldn't be working as an MT. Period.
I really admire people that can make that kind of money
but knowing the hours she must work, and the days she must put in (probably all week plus the weekend), that's just not for me. Money isn't everything and I'd rather make my $40,000 and have my weekends free and work my 8 hours, five days a week and be done. Again, this is just me. Now if I could make that money working normal hours, I'd be happy. (I can dream can't I?)
Good old Amherst and couple with their ridiculous QA point plan. They people in AMHERST ARE NUTS. I
hope MQ loses all of its good MTs and then the hospitals can yell about quality and leave. My account just disappeared after being transferred up there and then find they have hired new people for it.
People are jealous, I think, so they make snide and disparaging comments.
SOMETIMES, tho, you get these same people coming back asking you how to get trained, how to find jobs like this. It's a weird situation.
