In Reply to: you seem like a greedy uncaring person, so I wouldnt - wanna chit chat with you anyway!
is a waste of my time. i use my money to help others who are not as fortunate as i am so it's not about stock piling cash for myself. you are a very poor judge of character and in the meantime, for every supportive e-mail you get from a supervisor who gets paid to send you the e-mail, we are that much further from getting a raise. they pay some dumba$$ to tell you are doing fine and don't give you a raise cause they have to pay a dumba$$ to tell you that you are doing fine. how much sense does that make? don't you have family and friends to reinforce you - for free?

Uncaring dictators
I'll bet they have an office manager, make an appointment either in-office or phone. Take/sent a typical tape for her to listen which STILL it is different -- to just listen to than transcribe and listen.
I presume you have asked for samples of old reports on all work types and dictators.
Say something like, in a kindly term, in order to transcribe and give you good service and maintain my business name integrity, I need to be able to HEAR. I would like to keep the rates the same, however, it is becoming difficult, I am just not able to generate a reasonable hourly income. I don't like sending in reports with blanks and would be happy to "fill in the blanks" but it would be necessary to charge .50 a minute of time. If left as is, my business name goes down the tubes having blanks left in circulating reports.
I'Please ask the staff to spend some thought on dictating clearly (each time) so I can maintain your current rates.
Atta girl! nm

Atta girl! You never know 'til ya try!
All the best! I think you'll find it most enjoyable! 
amen. don't send me condescending atta girl e-mails. i know i do a good job.
i don't need a cheer-leader supervisor to tell me.
Greedy MT is right
I totally disagree. The reason that half of them cannot get their line count in is because there are probably several of you working "off schedule" and it makes it impossible. I run a small MTSO and if I knew that some of my IC's were doing what you do, they would be out without a second glance. That is why the accounts run short and it is hard to balance the amount of MT's with the accounts. But I think you are wrong and selfish to not care about anyone else but yourself. Whatever your money buys you won't help you at the day of revelation.
greedy.

Gosh, you must be one of the greedy MTs
As you said, greedy MTSO's usually end up...
out of the business. Or, at least, we transcriptionists warn each other about business owners like that one. I have had the same experience as has so many MT's who have been doing this for some time. Yes, I hope that I can both pay experienced transcriptionists well, add a few of the many benefit requests that have been posted here, and also make a profit. I certainly intend to try!
Greedy Ins. Compaines
<<(especially with my disgust at the way greedy insurance companies treat our citizens..especially the elderly)..>>
Jennifer,
Unfortunately, the hospitals (and doctors) also treat their patients the same way. The "padding" of bills has been ongoing for years.
I use to pay medical claims and had to go through the hospital charges with a fine tooth comb.
And, yes, some do charge for a Band-Aid, aspirin, etc!
Thankfully, this practice was seen in only one or two doctor charges but nevertheless, it was present.
Please, don't take this post as pro-insurance companies, as I'm not. But, neither am I pro-hospital billing depts.
Greedy companies.

If greedy MTs would work their schedule...
management would not have to remind them to stop stealing work from another MTs schedule.
So you are angry at Indian MTs and not the greedy
xx
But for how long, pretty greedy folks there!!! NM

As long as this country allows greedy companies (s/m)
so send good U.S. jobs to people in other countries with a lower standard of living who will happily work for far less than a person could ever support themselves on here in the U.S., transcription and other good jobs will go down the toilet. I'm still glad I didn't waste my time in college, because nowadays that's no protection, either. The short-sightedness of offshoring U.S. work is the same as hiring illegal immigrants - except the workers stay in their own countries. I guess in the future, the only way to compete will be to MOVE to India, Pakistan, etc., and work THERE for American companies.
Lots of greedy MTSOs started out as MTs.
It's about money. Always it. How much you guys can stuff into your own pockets, and how little you can pay the people who make your income possible.
My heart bleeds.
shame on those greedy union workers sm
They just HAVE to eat every day now, don't they. Why the nerve of them...to think they want health care benefits and retirement pensions.
n the meantime,the poor CEOs and board members are going broke with no $$$ left to fuel their private jets so they can go beg for a tax payer bale out.

THOSE GREEDY MTSOS AND THE BEATING OF DEAD HORSE BY QADRAGONLADY
Yes they are greedy and hire the cheapest they can get by with. They are the ones who took over what used to be transcription companies owned by women. They saw a chance to make some easy money and that is the bottom line. They checked us all out, moved in like vultures and offered our clients free equipment, discounted work for a year, and then it has turned into this mess that we see now with offshoring, bickering, low wages, and on and on. Now they are overcharging the clients that were unfortunate enough to fall for the line of garbage when theyear switched over to the "bigger techno MTSO" who really were unprepared, as far as I am concerned, for what they took on. Look where we are now, offshoring, and on and on and on. Sigh.
Another thing I would like to see is QA departments policing themselves. I pulled out 22 binders filled with templates, samples, etc. from 10 different sources and guess what I found? Mistakes by the boatload. These are samples that were sent out to MTs by QA departments to "go by" - how hilarious. These were companies with great reputations and some are currently in business using the same templates, the same samples, etc. The temples were to be used "verbatim" and the MT is to insert any changers by the dictator, but all else was to be left. One had cc as cc's (gasp) and wrong tenses (gasp), 7.0 instead of 7, and on and on. Some were horrendous and beyond belief and were handed out by QA departments.
One client that I do business with has five QA people and none of them agree with the other. They all have their own "style" as they put it. So, it just depends on who is on if they pull your report for a once-over or you have a blank. Then,, the politics goes like this: They all want the MTs to send the QAs you got from other QA people to THEM (the QA person who did not QA that report). That is like QA doing QA on QA. Sounds like maybe extra careful? No, they then send it to their supervisor trying to get the other QA persons fired. Nice colleague interaction going there, right?
I only go by BOS almost completely if the work is hospital because of the audits that go on with JCAH or whatever they call themselves these days. Then, sometimes the doctors don't agree with JCAH and want it their own way, which may not be the way some QA wants it. The bottom line is I tell them from the outset that I do it the right way, the way the one who signs the document wants it. That is the bottom line. If the hospital complaints I refer them back to the dictator. When I have one of those I put comments on the page for my future reference and that of QA. I only violate the dictators wishes when he or she wants me to transcribe against HIPAA regulations (like the patient's name, address, and phone number, etc.) I then comment that the information was dictated, but not transcribable due to HIPAA regulations.

sad for you girls
sounds like you ladies are finding your boys in all the wrong places. MEN don't cheat. BOYS cheat. You need to find a MAN and then you will find yourself in a REAL relationship like never before and you will be HAPPY and have TRUST. It CAN happen as it happened to me. Good luck.
My girls like me
Well, my girls like working for peaNUTS. Oh golly, my sense of humor has gotten the best of me, bad boy Frank.
mean girls
hope you never find yourself in a bad situation - you have no sympathy or regard for other humans
The girls are going down . . .
Kelly was soo bad. I think and hope it will be the three boys remaining. Katherine's dress was a little much wasn't it? She had visible panty lines. Chris was very sexy.
Mean Girls!
Well, here I go! Gotta vent. We use IM to talk to the QA person and the boss for the small MTSO I work for. Many times the boss will turn "Busy" on, so you can't ask her anything. If she wants to talk to you, she will, but if she does not, she won't. Same goes for the QA. Sometimes I feel so small! I do not bug them unless I really need something, but apparently they feel I am bugging them too much. Days go by that I never IM either one, so its not like every day I bug them! I feel very insignificant when they do this! Am I overly sensitive?
yep...little girls are the best!! Glad I have 3 of them! Have fun! nm
re: View girls
I cannot stand the View girls. Who do they think they are! They act so high and mighty, especially Star Jones and Meredith whatshername! Please! 
I think the girls forgot to ask you
if you were married and if you'd post a picture for them? Just kidding.... It's just kind of funny to see how many responses you got from your post while new MT females get maybe one or two. I know of a couple of dude MTs. We had one in-house. Poor guy. 
RadGuy not into girls
So what? Is there a problem with that?
Hey Crafty Girls
My niece wants to get into a hobby or do some crafts in her side time, but does not know where to begin. She is a modernistic woman, age 30, not into the country motif, but wants to be crafty. Any suggestions out there of where she might start or a craft kit I could get her for Christmas? Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Several girls I work with do...
One has one on her ankle. Another has one in the small of her back. Another has one on her arm (like men usually do)...Personally, I think the one in the small of the girl's back is the cutest. Its just above where her low-riding jeans fit. I dated a guy who had one on his tush... a rose. He said he went through a bad divorce and then had it done thinking to himself some day he'd be somebody's rose...Now that I think back, shouldn't that have been the other way around?? LOL...Anyway, good luck, they say that hurt a bit, but they don't regret getting them. I, myself, am not into pain! LOL
26, 4&2 y/o girls, due with another girl 3/16
I was a nurse first with a neuroticism about spelling and documentation, so this was a good career move for me. It's not because I was chasing the work-at-home dream.
My boys were 3 1/2 and my girls were 2.
Cheerios in the toilet worked for me. SINK THOSE BATTLESHIPS!! :)
But both boys were 3 1/2 at least and when I was just about ready to give up, they just started using the bathroom as if nobody had ever told them a thing.
Pressuring and scolding are the 2 worst things you can do. Just be laid back and all of a sudden one day, they are diaper free. None of my 4 have ever had an accident or wet the bed since the day it kind of dawned on them. Sort of like the day they learn to ride a bike without training wheels. :)
This too shall pass like water under the bridge. No pun intended. Now I'm buying diapers for my grandkids.
we are not all girls...but Bose is the best

Maybe she is only talking to the girls. (nt)
The Golden Girls...
I love the Golden Girls...though it does come on Lifetime I think like 5-6 times a day...I love that show!

Girls and women
That, in my humble opinion, is what separates the girls from the women. With all of the references we have at our fingertips (Google is WONDERFUL), if you know how to search, you can find what you need. As a success story in MT for over 35 years, I can honestly say that from day one (and yes, I had to learn over the years), I did my very best never to ask for help UNTIL I had exhausted every means available to me and had come up empty-handed. I realize that is much easier to do this when you do not work by the line and every minute is money in your pocket...or not if you are spending a lot of time looking things up.
Stop it. I can't leave you girls alone for a second. sm
I sure am glad I don't have to work with you all who post these PMS/menopausal rantings.
yep, I go to Old Navy and look at their clothes for my girls
Or Wal-Mart and look at all the stuff I want! that does it for me!
What's for dinner tonight girls?

Guess what, all three kids are GIRLS! and ....
the two youngest ones are in early puberty, so we have hormones dripping from the walls around here. My husband threatens to move into a tent in the backyard once we're all "cycling" LOL
Want to know what's for dinner tonight girls
I am making that 20-garlic recipe from below with mashed taters and salad and some homemade bread. Yum.
30, now at 9 years and 2 great little girls-nm

Done..also got girls in my office to sign
nm
mine were both girls - and I even had to have a psychiatrist for - sm
one of them. Of course, you know how psychiatrists can be - always blaming the parents for the social dysfunctions of the beagle!
The teenaged girls in my neighborhood are
having a race to see who can have the most babies. It's horrible. They think of the babies as little pets or dolls, then dump them on their mothers to go out and party. None of the girls has a high school education, job, driver's license or anything. They have police records, too. Four of the girls were over here one day wanting to use my phone, and one of them wanted me to feel her stomach to see if I thought she was pregnant. She was disappointed later when she found out she wasn't. I got onto soapbox mode telling them to finish their education or at least get a GED so they could support those babies. Life's not easy being a young, uneducated mother. They use the excuse that they have bad home lives, they just want someone to love them, they'll get a regular income with WIC, foodstamps, and welfare checks, or maybe even get their own house when low income apartments become available. My goodness, their thinking is so messed up. They don't even have a single clue in their little heads. This isn't even the inner city.
I keep telling my boys to stay away from girls. Save it for marriage or you're going to get trapped into fatherhood.
Eleven-year-old girls...
Boy, I guess they're all different. My almost 18-year-old was a piece of cake, still very much a little girl at 11. But this next one is totally different. Sweet loving girl, good student, very attached to her family, but so bent on growing up faster (maybe it's having the older sister effect). A few months ago her younger sister ratted on her that she was at a school function and was putting on eye make up. So we had a talk with her about how she had symptoms of a disease, a disease called untrustworthiness, and that if she was going to sneak around and do things she knows we don't allow, then she wouldn't be allowed the privilege of doing certain things. Today (speaking of lunch boxes), I was emptying out yesterday's lunch box and found a tube of lipstick out of my bathroom. She said it was for her friends (which this experienced old mom doesn't buy for 2 seconds), then admitted it was for her too. I know this is small potatoes now, but as Barney Fife used to say, you have to NIP IT IN THE BUD. So I guess I better let my DH know and figure out what to do. Today it's lipstick, tomorrow it's something much bigger.
