victimhood by your actions and you are more likely to be a victim because of your actions than others. i live in a safe neighborhood. i still lock my doors. i don't want to be a victim. i don't drink and drive. i don't hang out in neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime. don't you get it. you can't go to a foreign country at the age of 18, drink too much and hook up with people you don't know. you increase your odds of victimization.

My sister's two purebred dogs were both murdered
by the neighbor. He used to complain about the kids and dogs making too much noise, but their dogs were indoors most of the time and were trained not to bark. I've never seen better trained show dogs in my life. Anyway, after both healthy young dogs died mysteriously within a week of each other, they were autopsied. Sure enough. Of course, nothing could be proven to the police or animal control. However, what if the kids had found the poison instead of the dogs? As it is, the kids were devastated over losing the pets since they'd had them their entire young lives. And the dogs died a horribly painful death by poison. I'm still sick over it.
Their neighbor just repulses me. I found out all the trash talk he was saying about my sister and her family when my friend on the same block called to tell me. He called the city on them within three days of their moving in to a house that had sat vacant for three months because my BIL hadn't had time to mow or trim the trees down yet. The neighbor despises children and animals. I think the old codger's gone senile because my family is not bad or annoying people. They keep the noise down, don't party, mow weekly, and help their neighbors. We have a few crusty neighbors in our area, and I'd really like to buy several acres out in the country.
THANK YOU SO MUCH .. Please read my message here
I really do appreciate your explanation and I can see exactly what you mean.
Out of absolute curiosity, I called my trainer and asked her about this "new SE pay plan".
She was quite candid, I thought, in her answer. She discussed the fact that MQ had felt they needed more SEs because it is cost-effective for the company (no benefits to pay). As they picked up more SEs, their employee base was starting to sag so they worked on a better benefits package for employees for better hiring and retention. She said while MQ realizes they need to have a higher percentage of employees (an employee can be "controlled" as far as hours and schedules, etc., according to the IRS), the SEs were leaving their spots to become employees b/c of the benefits being offered. So, they are trying to replenish and maintain a specific base of SEs. She said that MQ is still in the process of improving pay and benefits for employees and those changes will be rolling out as soon as they can be installed.
It does make sense to me.
Thank you so much for your reply. It is probably the most credible post regarding MQ I have ever read on this board.
A few ums??? did you read my message? LOL
I can handle a few ums, i have been a Transcriptionist for over 12 years, but 100 ums or uhs in 12 and a half lines of typing. Not to mention 8 minutes of dictation, just sitting there waiting and then what you get is um, uh . . ..um I was just venting!
Actually read your own message - sm
I hate MT, but I love the perks is what you say.
I know you are paid on production at 5 cpl and you said it was an editing/transcription combination. And yes, if you do not like your job you certainly are not goign to push yourself and that ellusive 250 to 300 lph will never be met and you will be getting closer to 150 to 200 lph.
If if the software program that is the problem, which you never mention in your initial post, then you need to look elsewhere and fnd that perfect fit. What company is it you work for? Maybe someone else can help with the glitch. I've had issues that were actually on my end which interferred with a specific platform and once I got it fixed, things were great, but in the meantime it sure was frustrating. In other words, it is not always the company's fault.
did yu read ur own message???sm
you don't GROW thc OIL in your backyard, and you don't GROW cocaine and heroine. How do you grow OIL?? I think you have been ingesting a little bit of something...maybe Xanax or Wellbutrin for your anxiety/depression?? legallized highs! keep'em drugged up and stupid! and fleece 'em for their cash! They will never know, much less care.
Thanks. I will read up on it! : ) No message.

Did you READ the previous message
I was being sarcastic about being called a "typist". After all, isn't patient care enhanced by ACCURATE and COMPLETE medical records? I would like to think I contribute, albeit modestly, to a patient's care. Don't you ever ask to see your records and check them for accuracy? Couldn't an omission or error result in a problem down the line? It HAS happened!
I had to re-read your message. You are really a scammer, probably
.in min many subject areas......
No, re-read the message. I said less than $0.01 per WORD.
She needs to compare the amount she is paid ($5.75/1000 words is less than $0.01 per word) by computing a line (in this case the example given was 65-characters with spaces) times a line rate (example of $0.08/line). Comparing the two results will help her to decide if she is being paid enough.

Wendy, do you know what bitterness is? pls read message
it's "drinking the poison yourself, hoping the other person will die from it". You need to let go of your issues with MQ. Apparently, it is in the past, so honey, just let it go. 
Oops, please read above post, there IS a message.
[[
If they don't have something to contribute, then (nm)
then they should stay out of it. I declare some people just respond to tear somebody down. The poster was asking for suggestions for a way to help now, not someone who can tell her what she should have done. Most people who find themselves in a jam regret it terribly and many found themselves in that predicament due to circumstaces out of their control. All sorts of unexpected things can wreak havoc on you financially. Believe me, I know. You have my sympathy.
When I opened your message to read it, I saw something that made me chuckle. SM
At the top of the page, there was an ad defining Alzheimer's disease (with an apostrophe) from alzheimersconcern.com. We're probably the only one's following this new guideline. I wonder how many people read these apostropheless terms we are now mandated to transcribe and actually do think we're nuts. Even if it is correct, and I do understand the reasoning behind leaving the apostrophe off, it still doesn't help our image any, at least in my opinion. Just a thought.
Please read message in above Poor Pooch's post.

They want a retirement that they don't even contribute to, they already retire at 55.

Because those who have someone else to contribute to the household have enough stress?
nm
I don't contribute crap around here, so I'm told...
My ungrateful, hateful 11-year-old (at the time) son told me that if I would get off my butt and get a job we'd have something (because I refused to buy him some game, or something). I sat him down and showed him my check stubs compared to his dad's, which are substantially more income for this family.
We MTs must be the most unappreciated workers in the world! Especially if we work at home, it's just not seen as 'serious' work! Not only do I get comments from my child, but my family thinks 'since I don't work' MY schedule is THEIR schedule...."give it to her, she can go do it."
I'm so disgusted.
NO ONE deserves ...
You wrote: After all the negative messages posted here and elsewhere about this company, if you read this and still go to work for D&L, you deserve to get screwed as badly as you most assuredly will.
That's just mean. NO ONE deserves to get "screwed." Period.
I worked for them in about 2003 and they delayed my first check over 6 weeks. They should be drummed out of business.
You are right to be outraged but take it on D&L!
CALL D&L's clients and tell them to expect their records to be subpoena'd if D&L does not pay for services rendered.
Everyone on this planet deserves the right
to a decent life with their families. Offshoring the jobs in this country is going to slow destroy us. Most of our skyscrapers are owned by the Japanese. Customer Service for companies has been taken over by foreign countries . This country has so much and is so great simply because this country was created by hard work and determination. Every piece that we give away takes away from us and our children and their children, and so on. It is not a matter of wanting someone to suffer because we are not a greedy country. We do so much for other countries. But, if we don't start thinking about ourselves, we are going to speak Chinese, Japanese, and English will be the second language.
She deserves congrats because SM
the test is NOT easy. As for the other comments (useless rules, etc.), if you are going to work for any national service or even a very large one, you HAVE to know these rules. I guess if someone wanted to stay in the safe world of typing for the doctor down the road, the rules wouldn't make that much of a difference.
May this person get the employee s/he deserves :(
xx
Doesn't sound like she deserves one.
.
The president himself deserves respect only
when he begins to show respect for the office he holds, the populace he serves, and the constitution.
Huh? Your logic is amusing. She deserves Americans looking for her?
That's just not how its done, as the poster below for eloquently explains!
You are a good daughter, more than she deserves. Bless you.
.
This young person deserves a treat.
Great story. Thanks for sharing. 
MQ deserves everything it gets ladies and their day is coming when they spend more millions on
lawsuits. What goes around comes around. Enjoy it while you can.
In this expensive 21st Century, even a rank beginner deserves
even 12-15 cpl will be below minimum wage, if the current inflationary trends continue.
Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line. It makes it easier when reading these messages. thanks so much and have a nice day everyone.
In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case
you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:
My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.
****
How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream. I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!

Oh I've read that site and continue to read it...sm
I agree...much motivation there. I have tried to quit numerous times in the past and did successfully quit when I was pregnant for the first time many years ago but I have never managed to summon up the strength or resolve to stay quit. Thus the "need" for a financial investment in my efforts. It somehow makes it more motivational to know that I have $$$ invested in this effort over and above the $$$ saved on cigarettes.
Who had time to read?LOL I only get a chance to read This Old House once in a while. (nm)

I didn't read the other posts but just read this
My daughter got pregnant at 17, said she wanted an abortion but BF didn't. I have a wonderful 2-1/2 yo grand daughter that I don't think I could live without...and now, guess what? I don't. I have custody of her. She was dropped off on my door, I got court ordered temporary custody and final custody hearing in a month.
I'm single with no family support. I had just taken a new MT job one month before this happened and they have been wonderful during my adjusting to being a mom again and I hope I can resume a normal schedule by next week.
I'm passing no moral judgments or giving moral advice. The situation is what it is. My prayers are with everyone involved.
Definitely an eye-opening read. Having my teens read it, too. nm

sm, see (or short) message, nm is no message.
x
sm-see message, nm-no message, ks-I think it's someone's initials.
nm
or no message, small message - whatever SM
any indication there is no need to waste time opening the post.
it is irritating also when people type through the subject line as well as the name line and then do not indicate if it is worth pursuing.
sm is see message not small message. I almost always
put NM or nt if there is no message, but quite a lot of people still open the posts as evidenced by the number of views.
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!!

You messed it up yourself. Why are you blaming the recruiter? Your test was not good. You prematurely sent in a resignation. Do you actually think it was someone else's fault?

Boy!!!! I'm glad I woke everyone up today; bet you feel more energized, don't you??? I am not making light of this horrible tragedy. I would have been devastated if it had been my son. There is a saying out there, "chance prefers the prepared mind"; in other words, at least think ahead and try to prepare; of course no one can be right about everything all the time. I have just seen and read about so many instances where the parents or "caretakers" of a child were negligent that resulted in irreparable harm to the child or children. I still cannot blame that driver without further info as to exactly how that happened. If I were driving that car and did not see that 2 year old and ran over him, I would actually be a victim as well because that is something I could never, ever forget!!

See where the X to close out the Word window is? Right next to the ruler bar for the margin there should be an up arrow (for scrolling). Right above that is a little line. Put your cursor on the line and move it up to the top.
So.....see message please
You asked. I'm answering.
It's not worth it. Run away as fast as you can and find another profession.
