Where do you live? I want to be sure NOT to move there LOL (see message)
I love having my 12-year-old home during the Summer, and she loves being here with her younger brother & sister. I would hate year-round school.
Exactly! And my point is even you made a big
glaring mistake, complaining about people making mistakes when they should not. And honestly now, I know 100% that you kicked yourself when you saw your huge error. Nice to play the oh this is an informal board game, but honestly, you lost credibility when you botched your own post. Informal, formal - all the same, and since you are the one being critical, well...thus is life.
Okay, Amanda, you've made your point..sm
How about giving it a break and get on something else? Other would like to be heard, too!

You've made my point with your inspid argument
And clearly if all you are doing is "correcting doctors spelling" you are not a transcriptionist..not sure what you are doing. I stand by my demand for appropriate compensation. Ya'll be happy being categorized as typists and making your $8.00 to 11.00 an hour. Unbelievable you would justify this...simply unbelievable.
That's the whole point of the message...sm
you're living paycheck to paycheck because you can't manage your money. YOu think it's luck. I say it's doing without so you stay out of debt. Choices, choices. 
disagree with you - long message but 50K+ can be made
I disagree. I just picked up another account today. You just need to go where the money is, do a little extra and pick up your own accounts. In the past six months I have picked up two accounts that total an income of close to 1200 a month if not more. This is on top of the accounts that I have that already generate 50K a month. No I do not charge 15 to 17 cpl, no I do not work 60 hours a week and yes the majority of the transcribing I do. I pick uo the single doctors that no one else wants, I pick up and deliver, print, fax, get to know the staff and low and behold I make a good living. With these two accounts I still will be working less than 40 hours even with pick up and deivery and probably closer to 32. I may have my IC's help if they want to pick up more lines than they do with their psych accounts but if not, well I will do it. Again, look for the smaller clinics and go for it, the money is there and sometimes yea you have to put out a little bit of personal contact and customer service but again it is worth it. Though my accounts are not perfect, they are dependable, pay on time, and work with me when I have problems. And these are older doctors who do not want EMR and do not want to type and so we have all decided that we will all retire at the same time. In fact, I cut my thumb the other day trying to cut my new carpet to make if fit and my hand surgeon stiched up my thumb for free. Anyway, to me the money is there but you might not be in your pj's all the time typing and need to get up and out and deliver and pick up. Good luck to all of you. My life is good.
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.
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.
You missed my point. My point wasn't perks but prestige...nm
nm
The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make
:(
That's not my point. My point is previous owner hired
nm
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.
I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)
If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference! Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?
small message. nm means no message
see?
Flame=200 views, sm=see message, nm=no message

not my point, actually. My point was the bigotry is the same.
The bigotry's always there. Not all "Mexicans" are Mexican, nor are they all illegal. My point is, though, people used to make remarks about cabbage smell about the Irish just like comments are made now about how nasty Mexicans are.
Every time somebody says something about "those people," something bigoted is coming out. That's all I'm saying.
I move around A LOT!!! - SM
I ALWAYS take pictures before AND after. When I lived in Florida, the apartment complex tried to charge me $700 to pay for cleaning. They said it was because I had pets and I left kitty litter behind, etc. I DID NOT HAVE A CAT!!! Do not just shake this off. They expect that people will not come back and make a fuss, well let me tell you - I WILL AND HAVE GOTTEN ON AN AIRPLANE to go back to a place that tries to charge me. I rest my case - thank you.
If you would like to move on to
a company that can give you plenty of work, your own accounts and not make your life a misery, please email me. I have spoken with many MQ people recently and have work, but somehow it seems that many are afraid to leave. I can pretty well guarantee you a good livelihood and little to no hassle .. and if it sounds to good to be true it is true .. plain and simple.
Move On
Same thing happened to the hospital I worked at. We were told we would be hired by the outsourcers at same pay! Ha!
I didn't transition but the ones who did report the pay was all changed once onboard. Plus the new benefits were horrible compared to what we were use to.
I chose to decline their offer, took unemployment and found a new job on my terms.
Good Luck!
PS: In my state, if you lose your job through no fault of you own (outsourcing) you are entitled to Unemployment Compensation.
If I could move, I probably would.
I'm not happy with the kids in my daughter's classes nor have I met many people that I would choose as my friends. I have met a few good people though. It's really hard though being young and single here, not to mention working at home, but I've made a few steps over the weekend to change that. Small steps, but I already feel better.
Can you move...
That would be helpful. There is no need to be hateful, tell people you are at work from this time until that time, and you cannot be disturbed unless it is an emergency. State the fact and then ask them to respect that! I know what you mean when you say people act like you aren't "really working!" It is annoying!
Me three! Let's move on!
nm
I can tell you that if you move to
Houston, CyFair district is excellent. Far Northwest Houston is really nice, as well as the Woodlands, but I prefer the CyFair district so moved out here instead of the Woodlands.
I personally like the city. My husband could live on a farm. This is a little bit of a compromise for both of us. Texas is gorgeous though. If it doesn't really matter where you live, I would consider the hill country.
Why not move??
you said you have no husband, no kids.....so, you are free as a bird!!! You would be surprised at what can happen when you change your entire environment.
Good Luck!
I like to get up and move around.
So, two days a week I get to see the world! HA! I am a Mom of two. I start working around 8:30 a.m. and take frequent breaks. I love hitting the grocery store on a Tuesday mid morning with all of the Mom-Moms and Pops-Pops, and it sure beats the rush on the weekend around here anyway.
I work for about an hour at a time and then break. I cannot stay glued to the screen as it gives me a headache. I am very successful and very productive (at least I like to think so). I do have my own accounts to service, so it makes it hard for vacations, but we get by.
I do work weekends, but not consistently. Weekends are actually most productive for me since there's not a lot of running around and everyone is ready for couch-slouching by the weekend in my house other than the occasional running one of my kids to a friend's house.
Oh and I should mention, I absolutely love the flexibility of being an IC. I am my own boss and find it much easier when I need time off to just simply ask myself, "Self can I have a few hours off to go shopping!" LOL
hey maybe we should all move to
the Pillafeens! I mean Phillipines

There is a way to move them.
There is a way to move them with Word macros. Email me and I can email you macros and instructions.
You can also move SH this way
Go to Shorthand, File, Open; rt click on the dictionary and copy, then immediately rt cick on your desktop and paste; cancel the file in SH and minimize; on desktop, rt click and Send To Zipped/Compressed File; rt click and send to Email Recipient.
Let's move on to something else. :D nm
.......
This happened to me, and believe it or not, I had to move
Of course, I lived in a mobile home at the time, so it wasn't that bad, but really there was nothing else I could do. I tried talking to them, being nice to them, yelling at them, nothing worked. They would agree with whatever I said, then leave the dogs out, TIED UP, about 6 feet from my back door. It was awful. I used to go to work crying I was so tired. I sympathize.
Time to move
I couldn't stand to be around such ignorant and thoughtless people who keep pit bulls anyway.
Colo move
Hi - I used to live in Colorado Springs, but my Mom and brother still live in Denver. I can't even describe how beautiful it is there. email me if you want.
Time to move on.
I know that's probably easier said than done, considering all you have invested in them. Do you really think you can trust this company, even if they were to deliver to you the account you were supposed to be on? Unless you can truthfully answer that you can, I don't think it's worth it to you to stick around. We teach people how to treat us by our own behavior. Unless you take that sign that says "kick me" off, you'll keep getting kicked. Make sense? It certainly sounds like you can do so much better for yourself, and that any company would be lucky to have you. Good luck. 
Move to Florida?
z
Don't focus on them. Or if you do, move your
mouse up and down really, really fast to see if it gives you motion sickness. LOL
Sometimes stuff just happens and you need to move on
I sure wish life was a simple as you get married and stay together forever..Life is not that simple and even though we think that we will stay married, things happen sometimes and we find ourselves in a situation we never thought we would be in..i.e., falling in love with someone else or getting divorced cause our spouse has fallen out of love or in love with someone else. I will not past judgment on anyone who separates and/or goes through a divorce..Been there, never thought I would be..Thought our love was gonna last forever, thought he would never cheat on me..Stuff happens in life. Having gone through it, I realize people grow and sometimes the other person does not grow in the same direction. Why stay with someone you are miserable with..Life is too short..Nothing worse than living with someone you no longer love or there is so much pain between you that it is even painful just to be in each others company..
they also have the right to MOVE-- They cant tell someone how to live
that is called communism.
Does anyone tell you how to dress?
Does anyone tell you how to wear your hair?
Does anyone tell you what car to drive?
No, it is called FREEDOM.
Maybe they aren't all like that but the ones who move here ARE sm
Apparently our area is an "escape" for the city folks and then they eventually decide to stay.
Unfortunately for us, they want all the big city stuff that you can't have in the country. Can't have it both ways but they sure try.
It may "work" for you but it is a bad move. (nt)
Wise move.
I've been an IC with many companies and an employee with a few others. I've found that many if not most of the supervisors and managers at these places are dead weight authoritarians who get high and justify their existence by puking on people who work for a living. I left at least one place precisely because they tried to hold me responsible for mistakes made by the dictator. Happens all the time.
I wouldn't wish a future in MT on anyone.
NO-V8 and it could get up and move! loved it!
nm
She is obviously OCD, cannot let it go. I suggest we move on.

How do you move from one document
to another in the WordPerfect program without stopping to reach for the mouse. I'm guessing there is a certain key(s) such as F1 or something like that that does it but I haven't been able to find it. Thanks!
smart move. JMO
nm
If DSL was not available where I lived, I'd HAVE to move!
personally, i'd move on
We all fluctuate with line counts; so many variables. But either i'm worth my pay or not, keep me or fire me, but don't drop my pay. Unless you are drastically consistently under a reasonable quota, then think enough of yourself to move on.
Yes! But this was not in MT - I quit to move and - sm
get married. My boss was okay at first with it until he found out I got a job with a minor competitor - in another state; made my life a living *ell after that (I gave 4 weeks notice as I was a pretty key person there). He took it totally personally that I was leaving. He also had no sense or decency. Once after coming back from overseas he came into my office with a large bag of gifts for key/important employees, I made the mistake of assuming he had gotten something for me (I did about 4 people's jobs and was his personal assistant) and had lite up with a big smile. He immediately squashed it and said that there was nothing for me. He was such a scrooge and a *erk. I remember wanting to quit so badly that my parents told me to quit and that they'd support me until I found a new job. I never did take them up on that offer but was sorely tempted. I work for some great people now and in no way miss the *erks out there.
Cut down on salt, and get up and move around sm
every hour or so. If no better, might be a good idea to see your doctor.
It is definitely time to move on
You have gone above and beyond the call of duty with these people and they have just walked all over you. There is absolutely no reason to put up with this kind of treatment. Find another job and then quit this job without notice. They deserve it. Let them try to find someone else who will put up with the things you have dealt with all these years.
And to anyone who has had similar problems - my advice would be, the second time your paycheck is late, start looking for another job. Anybody is allowed one screw-up, but if it happens again, it is probably a pattern. We MTs work hard for our money, and we deserve to be paid on time, just like any other employee.
Good luck to you, OP. I know there is a better job out there for you. I, too, am an IC - I just happened to stumble into a good situation. Feel free to email me if you like, just to blow off steam or whatever. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to help. I will if I can.
