Can you spell naive? See if you can answer this question..

What do you suppose happens once these people are trained to do YOUR job at less than HALF of what YOU ARE making?

get it yet?

and no, most of the time there are not plenty of jobs to go around.

I cannot believe anyone is this naive - you have an agenda perhaps?

Horrible spell check, had to C&P onto word doc. to use spell checker. Slow, used ADT which did not
:+
I know how to spell, but you dont have to know how to spell so much
as how to look things up.

Why are you cutting on me? I know how to spell. I won my school spelling bee and went to state.

The poster above me was putting people down that cant spell.

You can work at McDonald's but I am doing fine with what I am doing.

Thanks anyway for your wonderful advice but i dont need it
How naive you are
Unethical practices effect all of us MTs!!! The higher management wages for not a decent days work, the lower wages for us lowly MTs. Anyone who does not work on production can get away with anything working remotely. Does that not make sense to you??? Companies do not care? Oh I think they very much do care. You are obviously defending your own poor work ethic.
You are very naive.

Don't be so naive...
at least look around for another job in case what people think is going to happen happens.
How naive.
Ask the people living in Gaza if they would agree with you. As the 4 million Iraqis in exile. Ask some Holocaust survivors.

You've got an awful lot of growing up to do.
Wow. Naive. nm
  
TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.

I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.


Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!


Please don't call me naive...you don't know me
I was just making an addition to what I've been reading. That's why I put I just read... jeesh
you are very naive (but in a nice way)

The Indians who are poor WILL REMAIN SO and will not get a job as an MT.  There is no concept of Welfare in India either.  They will starve on the side of the road while the Indians with offshored jobs buy more clothes, cellphones, cars, etc.


The reason is that it is very difficult to get a PRIMARY EDUCATION in India.  Most Indians are TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY ILLITERATE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, LET ALONE ENGLISH.  To send your kid to primary schools that will actually teach them something, costs money and the poor in India don't have it.  It is the opposite of our country, which has a free education up to high school for all.  Then we have to pay for college ourselves.  In India, the colleges are free or very cheap, but the primary education is hard to get.


The person who is taking a job as an MT in India is NOT a poor soul crying thanks to the heavens that s/he can now feed their children.  Much to the contrary.  The people getting the MT jobs over there are of the upper middle class.  They are overeducated and underemployed and end up doing MT because they can't live off their parents forever OR they are older and want to slow down.  In India, MTs get paid either 1/2 or 1/3 of what call center workers get.  It is considered lowly to be an MT (strictly a typist one step above the office peon and yes there is a job category in India called a peon) and the call center workers are called executives.  MTs in India are failures in their chosen fields and/or could not hack it at a call center.


How do I know all this?  EASY.  I have family in INDIA.  I have seen the classified ads for jobs there.  They are so desperate for MTs that they will train anyone for free.  Notice in the USA they only want EXPERIENCED MTs and then the companies cry about how THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH MTs.  Crying with a loaf under each arm.


In short, sending MT jobs in India does nothing for the poor except possibly make a household servant job (pay is usually equivalent to $US 25 a MONTH) available.


Please: you're either very new or very naive
nm
OK say she was naive like her team

Please tell us exactly what emails you are referring to that TOLD us our jobs are GONE!?!   I've been RIGHT HERE trying to get work and answers - you must have been part of the golden inner circle that GOT answers - not me!


So you are embarrassed. You are also extremely naive.

with all due respect, your response is somewhat naive..sm
how easy do you think it is for a company to say our MTs are all U.S. based? Sweetness, it's called the internet. I can't believe some buy into this. If I were a doctor and assured that my dictation was being typed by all U.S. MT's, do you think I would buy that - no. Especially when they can hire overseas MTs and pay them half the wages. Pleae get with reality here. Have a great evening! Also, DRC has no say so now; remember, they were bought out.
No, Amphion takes what they can get, the naive MTs.

Wow, you are a naive little thing, aren't you?

Yes, I am sure TT will get it all straightened out.  It has all been just a bad dream.  We will all wake up and this silly VR CRAP will have been just a nightmare.  They won't be trying to RIP US OFF while trying to sweet talk us at the same time (sounds like some guys I've dated!). 


About that gift...  Not to sound 2 years old but, really, what else do we get in this biz?  MT Week is about the only thing left and TT just ignored it.  Nice.  Very nice...  TT Management, you can take that sweetie crap and...  well, you get the picture. 


Now, you go back to watching the Disney network.  They have nice stories too that always have happy endings.  Seems like something you can handle. 


a little naive to think the 'suits' don't come here wouldn't you say? nm

"NN" means 'NOT NAIVE'

In the dark, naive, have blinders on. ER is going down fast. nm
no msg.
You are correct: A naive person. Better jobs out there.

If you think I'M a bully you're incredibly naive
There's nothing remotely bullying about my post. I stated my opinion. You post on here asking for opinions and I gave you one. It just wasn't the self-serving opinion you were seeking assuring you that you did the right thing.

Yes, perhaps you did the right thing for you by turning that job down; but if you're so happy where you're at, why are you wasting the time of MTSOs and perhaps pushing other MTs out of the running so they can spin their wheels with you? Also, about 98% of these posts on the job seekers board indicate when a weekend day will be required; you should have known going in when you applied apparently just out of curiosity that a weekend day would be required.

Sorry, but I'll leave you to your God and your family and your ability to pick and choose 'wonderful' job offers.

I'm just glad another MT will get a shot at this job who realizes people do indeed need reports transcribed on the weekend, and I certainly hope your God is on standby if a loved one ever needs a critical care transport and all reports transcribed and ready to go, because if the staff is a bunch of MTs refusing to work weekends, it could be a real inconvenience to have to wait until Monday for the official transcribed documents to be completed and faxed.

I'm done here...
Save a penny post is not slanderous. Not only are you naive,

New, naive, desperate, carpal tunnel, slow transcriptionists... I don't know.

I can answer that question with a simple answer!
Strengths - none.
Weakness - all.
Can you spell?
"capatalize"

WRONG!!
I can't believe it either, especially since she can't spell
gawd!!!!
Not much, not too, not too - She can't spell so
IMHO
Of course, if I could spell it would help! Sorry. nm
nm
Can you spell
India .. big time.
Spell it without the w and maybe you will have a

little bit more luck.  Diskriter. 


No, that's what spell check is for. nm
/
and by all means - know how to spell -
especially RECRUITERS!!
spell decent!
nm
you'd think I could spell my pseudoname right at least.
nm
so you think you can spell right? HOW? By looking things up!
I plainly said you have to learn how to spell check and to LOOK THINGS UP.


READ PEOPLE
READ
guess I can't spell either.
I meant taxes not takes.
spell it "unprofessional" -- one 'f', not two
!
Spell correctly.
Maybe their line rate was low because you couldn't type well. It is atrocious
does anybody know how to spell redundent
?
Who cannot spell the word anything.

The word anything is a no brainer.  Boy, you're sure a little high on the horse, huh?  I'm not the OP, but where's the support here ??????  Cut the OP a break.  She's venting!  Oh, you must be QA.........


Can you spell audit?
They may not pay you a visit by ringing the doorbell but they can audit you and this encompasses 3 years of returns and you better have each and every receipt for each and every item you claim. It is not a pretty picture at an audit and can cost you dearly.
Well, you did spell Axolotl right, but.....(sm)
nm
Too bad you can't spell it, jeAlousy.

You need to LEARN to spell....
Don't you think?
No wonder! This company cannot spell they.
He or she probably couldn't pass their own test.
I don’t have to spell check here
and I was showing what I find, did you not read my posting about what I found in the neurologist's office, a sign spelled sureries.. I am not perfect, did not say that. You should edit yourself.
Guess I need to spell it out
I didn't say VR was a disaster. I said rushing through to meet some arbitrary goal of minutes mixed with the VR requirements is a recipe for disaster. I've seen what this hospital puts out and they do indeed miss important things that should be fixed and aren't.
An editor who can't spell misspelled..lol
nm
Can't even spell the names of your accounts
LOL
spell: desperate ... desperado ...
.
spell check is not, that is why I said you have to know how to look things up.
Knowing how to spell or thinking you know how to spell a word is not enough.

Good grief. Read everything.

Can you comprehend
