If not w/your mom, at least w/him. Be very direct, no innuendos. Tell him if he doesn't stop, totally and immediately, you will never come over again and you will tell your mom why. Do not make that an idle threat. Your mom can visit you elsewhere.

People will only take advantage of you (assuming you are an adult) if you let them. period.

I am being upfront. Sm
I'm being up front about what I will be charging, but I see no reason why I have to go indepth and tell them every little thing. I'm really getting sick and tired of these cheap skate doctors' offices,and I'm also getting a ticked BIG TIME of the MTs, like YOU, who defend them and their business practices, too! As if your clients wouldn't dump you in a New York minute if they could save a couple of cents. You better wake up and smell the coffee honey! I've tried playing Ms. Honest and Ms. Nice Guy for a LONG time. Where did it get me?

You need to be upfront with them. What you suggest isn't right.

You are being honest and upfront and you have got to do what you have to !! nm

Being upfront and honest with MTs

I started with a company a few months ago and loved it. Then, I began getting more and more ESLs, which is fine because I know it's part of the job. NOW, that is all I'm getting. When I ask about this, I'm told "We have no control of how the hospital sends over the files."

Today they said they assigned Dr. X to various transcriptionists because the main MT for Dr. X is out sick. ??? How can this be done if they have no control of who gets what file? I knew they were not being honest with me from the beginning because I worked at a hospital and know how files are sent over, assigning files, etc.

Just when I thought I found a place I could stay with - and they wonder why morale is down! - Can't wait to get out of this business! SAT (sick and tired)

I ask for partial payment upfront if they were

Don't like the part where doc's office tells you not to tell her. They should be upfront and
letting her know they approached you and not the other way... I would not trust them... they could drop you just as quickly down the line and she might not hire you back.....

haha, am dyslectic without my expander...apology upfront (nm)
