So true!!. You can only be treated bad if you
x
I think you need to see it differently ...
FIRST, we do not KNOW for sure the new MQ plan; it may be just be for particular offices at that.
Secondly, IF (big IF here) it is as some suggested based on 98% QA score and less than 15% of your work going to QA ... remember, this:
---that 98% is ONLY on the handful of reports chosen for actual QA'ing of your work;
---15% of your total work going to QA because of blanks is a LOT of your work; something is wrong if you are sending 15% of your work to QA for blanks and you need more training.
IF (again, big IF) the plan is designed the way one poster seems to think it is and everyone now ASSUMES it is ... you will still get paid if you don't meet this criteria -- you just won't qualify for production incentives.
The whole point is to REWARD those who have high skill and production in hand.
Not everyone will qualify. That is NOT just at MQ but at ANY place where there is a standard. Not everyone makes the cut.
Everyone CAN make that cut, though in varying degrees, by making a dedicated effort and commitment to improving their quality, learning ESLs better, learning to use tools/techniques for increasing their production, and mainly by letting go of this attitude that the company is out to get you.
I see things a little differently
>>>People want me banned because they don't like my point of view. That is childish. They want me banned because they attack me and get upset when I say something back. That is childish. If they don't like what I am saying, don't read my posts and don't respond to me.
If you're writing in a manner which is provoking  in people, then I would say the problem lies with you. Perhaps you are expressing yourself in a confrontational manner?
As far as "don't read my posts and don't respond to me," that's like telling people to stop rubber necking on the highway.
When time permits, I'll look at some of your posts and see what the shindig is all about. Later.
Sorry - but I think you could have handled it differently
I am assuming you are an IC - which means who you work WITH is your biz and no one else's - and no one's business if you took on a second contract. An IC works for who she wants when she wants and within reason sets her own deadlines. A company understands this and does not give you a 2 hour TAT unless you request it or can handle it and you have an understanding with them
I guess I think differently.
If you really want this job, I think I would low ball it with a clause that says when his business picks up and you get more work that you will raise your rates.
If you are getting in on the beginning of this company, there will be room for advancement. You might want to discuss with him that aspect, whether it be an office manager or supervisor, etc. In that case, he might be offering benefits.
I handle it differently I guess ...
One thing I have done is designate an amount of money I will spend on me (be it travel, clothes, makeup, cologne, entertainment, etc.). I worked that figure into my budget. It is part of what I earn on a regular basis so I don't have to worry about doing what you described.
I used to do that. It got really old really fast. I felt I was overworked all the time (not that I don't feel really stretched sometimes now but it is a rare occasion and it always has to do with something other than work when I do). Seemed like I was never going to "have enough" to go on vacation without killing myself.
Okay, I'll say this differently this time
flaming face - to me, denoting hostility, then complains essentially that all the people who make less than nice comments should go somewhere else. My point was that the original post seemed to be contradictory, starting off with a hostile style of emoticon, then wanting everyone to just get along.
I hope my point is more clear.
Every company calculates differently.

those are set by the client but can be set differently per typist.
you can call them and ask them to set it. 0 being no backup, and up.
Stedman's is organized a bit differently sm
and that is probably why I didn't like Tessier's at all. I have other word books besides Stedman's and I don't like them either! The only thing I like as well would be the MPI and I hardly ever use mine now.
In all fairness, I probably Google more than I do anything. If I am looking for a ronguer or scissors or suture or needle, I use the M&S word book to find that. If I am looking up a new drug-eluting stent, I google, BUT I can make what I am looking for so specific that I find less than 100 sites for most things. I don't ever file through pages of it because that is useless too.
I dunno...only ever do OPs, have for a long time and it is to the point where I rarely have to search for anything. Despite my advanced age, my near photographic memory is still highly functional. I thought that would be the first thing to go, but it wasn't. In other ways, my brain is a junkyard. I can remember a piece of equipment I transcribed only once 4 years ago, but I can't remember where I put my purse or keys!
I'm thinking somewhat differently. But good for you for SM
taking action. Since I don't believe fighting the Information Age is a good strategy (sort of like hunters-and-gatherers laughing at people sticking roots in the ground, to my mind) I'm signing up for classes to broaden my skills. I'm also looking into reactiving my appraiser's license (in case of future need. I appraised lots of foreclosures in the Reagan era and would definitely prefer to pass now).
Back to the healthcare industry, I would ask you, how does having IT performed on this continent fit into improving the delivery of good affordable healthcare to all of us? What has to be done so that this does serve that purpose? How do we fit into it? Best wishes for sure.
Different types of errors are weighted differently ...
so more serious errors count more, less serious count less. I have 8 reports a month QA'd. My QA person listens to the dictation while reading my transcribed report and marks errors and classifies each error. The total is weighted on a percentage.
Last month on my 8 QA'd reports, I had only 1 error and it was a style format error (I used a "dash" as the physician dictated but the BOS2 says to use 2 dashes if dashes are being used and BOS2 prefers using semi-colons). That was the only error of any kind I had and it was not serious. My monthly QA score (because of how this type of error was weighted) was 99.9%. I have had a few times of 100% but I have never had below 99%. My QA person gives me a full explanation of why it is an error and sometimes marks information that is not counted against me but is given as "information only". Noncritical errors are only counted once in a document and critical errors are counted as often as you have them (ex: if you used perineal instead of peroneal --that is a critical error).
No, as I said both times same context but qa'ed differently.

I feel differently about the whole anti-Wal-Mart thing...
If you don't like them, don't shop there. If enough people don't like them, they'll eventually wither away. If the little mom and pop stores didn't charge so much, people wouldn't go to the big department stores instead. It's called competition and capitalism, neither of which are illegal. At one time there was an uproar over supermarkets? Are you still shopping for your bread at the bakery, your meat at the butcher, and your fresh produce at the vegetable man store? No, of course not, you go to the supermarket without any sorrow in your heart for the little grocer who was put out of business decades ago.
Every version of Word seems to do auto numbering differently. sm
The last two versions have a number list style that will keep numbers at the left margin and do the hanging indent automatically. Alt-Shift-left arrow will take your list back to the left margin if you don't use the style but want to use automatic numbering.

You may actually be treated better too
in working in that environment, Burger King. It's shameful for the level of difficulty this job is, that the pay is this lousy and the treatment by supervisors/management is disrespectful and horrendous.
Not sure...I HAVE been treated in...
I have been treated several times in France and in the U.K. and found the care excellent and their pricing for everything medically-related far better than in this country. I know about their waiting lists and Canada's too. I'm not sure what the answer is nor is SiCKO giving an answer. I do know that trying to get an appointment in a VA Hospital in this country also has 3-6 month waiting lists.
I wish we all had an answer.....
Some people at SS are treated
better than others. The special ones get paid for their spaces, while some others do NOT.
Wow, that's really awkward that you are being treated
Are you sure they aren't getting these kinds of emails even tho their work shows the same errors on final copy?
This is a tough one.
Can you actually COMMUNICATE with her, instead of emailing? That seems to clear some kinds of things up, when emails just feel too awful.
Good luck. This must be an awful feeling.
ICs -- are you being treated like employees? (sm)
I filed IRS form SS-8, and boy did I get results!!
It took months. I had to fill out the very detailed form describing my work situation. The IRS then notified the MTSO and had them fill out the form. I just received the ruling that I was in fact an employee, so the MTSO now has to pay back taxes and penalties!!
It feels so good when something works the way it should, doesn't it?
You may well have been treated unfairly
There are so many different situations. I'm not saying you weren't treated badly. What I deal with sometimes is ridiculous. Totally made up words, no effort to digest feedback, no effort to look drug spellings up. AND an attitude toward me!
If we were treated like professionals, we might be
Management IS the devil. By the way, what's it like up there in mananagement, with your 6-figure income, your executive healthcare, and salary-not-hourly status? Especially when you sit in your office all day surfing Amazon & eBay? Must be nice, Beelzebub. But I'll never sell my soul for it.
You have to be psychic to be treated.

Never been treated so badly in my life
Just signed on with a company, had 1 week of work, now I am on my second week with no work. I am a single mother with children to feed...it's just not right. Searching for a new job and have 3 offers on the table already......
How many jobs do we take until we might be treated decent
I am on my third in a year
Which companies were you at where you were not treated very well. I am job hunting and would like
to know.
It's just one more reason why MTs are treated like dirt. (nm)
:/
i've been very well treated by my state's
BC/BS -- and have had several expensive accidents...but maybe it depends on your state too.
For what it's worth, I don't think that you were treated dirty...sm
They decided to go to EMR, which is their choice. It sounds as if you financially made out extremely well (very, very well) doing their transcription. How about charging a nominal fee to assist them in setting this up? In the end how do you know that the EMR will work out for them, and 3 or 4 months later they decide to go back to using a MT? It sounds like you made out like a bandit doing their work, and for what it's worth I would be quite reasonable fee-wise with this one in the hope that they may retain your services in the future. I don't think that you are going to run into too many gravy situations making $100.00 dollars an hour doing MT, and acyually they are not treating you dirty by deciding to try EMR.
You LET self be treated bad. Hard to feel sorry

treated badly and pentalized
Has anybody here had a company treat you badly because you want to work? I was offered a full-time employee position. I took it and then I was barely getting 200 lines a day. I was also told I would have a back up account. When I questioned what was going on, I was given the cold shoulder. What's the deal? I want to work! I am use to getting at least 1500 lines a day.
I concur....MTs are treated with respect at MDI-MD....
Best MTSO out there, in my opinion.
He was my least favorite on that show and after how he treated Brenda,

Mine started doing this as well. I have high BP which I'm being treated for (sm)
but the doctor told me it is the position of where the back of my thigh rests against the edge of the chair, puts pressure on it and makes the leg swell. Now that I'm more aware of this I try to position myself differently and it seems to work.
I don't understand your question at all. She was being treated in Mexico
so what does that have to say about the US? Makes no sense.
Tell that to my friend. They had a dog they treated as a member of their family. That is, until it a
Dogs need to be trained and need to know they're lowest in the pack. I tried telling my friend this, but she wouldn't listen and she continued to treat the dog as a member of the family instead of as a dog. And eventually that "member of their family" decided it didn't want any more competition for affection, and attacked their son. Thank God he survived, 92 stitches and some nasty scars tho. If you love your family and you love your dog, then TRAIN your dog. Don't treat him like an extra child.
A lot of women are treated badly in general sm
not just in the Amish community. How many women are abused daily, behind closed doors and in public. I remember an incident when I was visiting Atlantic City. Had just walked into the casino and there was this man, wife, and child in a stroller along with some other friends. Don't know what their argument was about, but the man hauled off and smacked his wife across her face like it was nothing and the friends seemed so embarrassed. The poor lady just shielded her face and cried. The man acted as if he had done nothing wrong. If this is the treatment he gives her in public, imagine what goes on behind closed doors. I told my husband if you ever even think about it I will put your poor soul to rest.
We cannot generalize by culture because it is the world we live in. To the Amish community I am sure they receive "normal treatment."
The gist of it all is no one should have to suffer the pain these children nor their families have endured with these school shootings, molestations, and abuse. If you are that miserable (they end up killing themselves anyway most of the time), why not just go ahead and take your own life and leave others alone. I pray for them all and hope that they can find peace in the midst of all this tragedy.
Oh really? That's why it's a fact that Zarqawi was treated in Baghdad for injuries.

It is gratifying to see an MT who refuses to be treated as a second class employee. Way to go!!
:)
At our base the civilian employees are treated worse
than the prisoners from the nearby federal prisoner. Military thinks civilians are the scum of the earth. You will never get a promotion or recognition unless you are married to an active duty person.
I would be proud if my records, with my name erased, could be used to help an MT be treated fairly.
:P
Coretta Scott King died in Mexico, while being treated. ---what does that say about
Thank you ghost! So true! So true! More than one person!

ROFL!! true, so true! nm

true, true but out of about 90 flicks....1 or 2...nm
true, true - but what you see as arrogance...sm
I think a lot of people go the extreme -
so, if I had to be one way or the other (being a humble extremist myself...*LOL*), I'd rather have too much self-esteem than not enough (been there, done that the first 30 years!!! *L*). And I am a truly humble person, been recognized for just that.....but because of *been there, done that* - and all sorts of therapies (not drug therapies), some end up the other way. Oh well, this was a fun couple of posts - so I thought.
Gave me much to chew on :) Have fun! 
True but to say there are no good MTs not true.

ROFLMAO!!!! so true! so true!
Everybody sees it but her, though! I love it! Thanks for the giggle! ":^)
