Moderator answered "Not True" which means she will not delete post with name and link (nm)

Yes but that means hiring a lot of extra people and paying out a lot of extra money when they can
have SE without all this. Their last report said they are making less money now than before and expect to make less in the next quarter so what does that say. We shall see. As part time employees you would still have to adhere to a schedule and I think people are SE for flexibility at least I am.
that should of been "not sure about"....sorry....
xx
sorry, should be "not" only

Delete them for sure
I know you will delete them or ask the moderator to do that but can you tell me one single word where I have been offensive and what you people all around 8 or more I think have doing right now. I am talking all alone with around all you people over here and what you are writing, isn't is offending.
to "not a sheep"
AMEN SISTER! You sure can tell who is the butt-kisser on this board.. because most of the posts are agreeable to each other's except hers, the MT that says she is NOT a QA person or the Manager. You are right, that newsletter was ridiculous, it sounded like a kid about 14 who went on he first trip alone! After all, when the present QA person didn't get the job, wasn't she so upset she was "going on strike"... LOL...and to that person who talked about MTs being sued, cite me a case and I will reasearch it! Actually, what about the docs that dictate the wrong medications on the wrong patient? Is that the MT's fault? I THINK NOT.
More like "NOT NOWING" how
:{
?? If she's a recruiter only, how can she "not pay?"
Also, I learned a few years ago that there are some individual recruiters who recruit for several different MT companies.

I just don't understand what this post is about. Are you saying All Type doesn't pay?? How can a recruiter not pay? Confusing.
What's "not fair" about PTO?
There is nothing that mandates how much or how little PTO you are given. Fair sounds like an entitlement mentality. (I am an IC/SE and have no PTO but so what? I think that is perfectly fair. I knew the terms of my employmentment when I signed the contract.) Too much what's in it for me, not enough what can I do for the company. Just saying, that's all.
BY ALL MEANS DELETE...SM
If I had KNOWN I did something wrong, I wouldn't have done it.  Geez....I'm sorry....now can you please get control of the pit bulls??
So now you delete them instead of lock them?
Not being rude, just want to know why this is happening.
They got the ole "control, alt, delete."
x
And you won't delete the link? nm
nm
Why didn't you just write down "Not enough." nm
:}
upstateMT, what do you mean, they are "not registered in NY" - sm
I don't understand your post. Do you mean that this particular company will not hire people living in NY state?
What part of upstate are you from? :)
"Not very good" is an understatement.
nm
What it means: "Not enough US MT's who want to work
Reading between-the-lines:

'--- which is exactly what we planned when we dropped US MT pay, so we'd have an *excuse* to choose offshore first, US workers second.'

That eScription ad sure goes against 'Truth-in-advertising', doesn't it?
Also, for "not my experience" poster.

You mentioned in your post, I've seen damned little willingness on the part of many MTs to be flexible about their shifts or workdays. Everyone wants to work 9-5, M-F. This, even while they complain about the line rate when most companies offer rather handsome differentials for working evenings and nights.


If you used to make 14 cpl working Monday through Friday, 9-5, how willing would YOU be to work until 11 p.m., the only time to spend with your kids when they get home from school, for a meager quarter or half cent increase in line pay?  Even with these handsome differentials (what a joke) MTSOs are still only paying 8.5, 9, or 10 cpl!  And you whine that the MTs aren't professional because they don't want to give up their lives for that...compared to the 14 cpl or more they used to get???  Sure the doctors still dictate over the weekends and nurses still handle care over the weekend, but they are paid quite a handsome salary.  If you want dedication, skill, and experience from domestic MTs, PAY FOR IT!!  Don't whine that American MTs aren't out there. 



Okay if you delete identifying info
You can save reports but you have to make sure that all personal identifying information is deleted.

Also, you can save them on disk or other media so that you don't have to store them on your hard drive.
Not okay - they'll delete post

Midwest, mid-sized company, not far from major city, US only.


Do you have an Autocorrect feature? You could delete what's
X
Meant to say "not the poster you were talking to" NM
xxx
So obvious "Not KS". Why would another MTSO post

in a thread about another MTSO?  So full of BS.  We're not stupid; just underpaid.


Guess "not funny" is management! nm
nm
"not their problem" -- you signed the contract ....

seriously, they know that a significant number of new hires (particularly when the experience required is low) are not going to work out ... they need a constant supply of warm bodies to ensure the work get done ... Welcome to labor relations USA-style. There is no good-faith social contract. More and more companies see their primary purpose in existence as maximizing profits. Keeping their clients, if not happy, mollified, so they don't leave is job #2.  We may not even be in the top #5 concerns


Oops...meant to say "not acceptable"
:}
hiGoldberg - can a company delete posts here?
nm
They don't like you working for another co. They will "accidentally" delete part of your f
nm
Cont'd: They will try to delete part of a file from other co. I should know. nm
nm
That should not be "try", they did delete my file and said it was an accident. nm

Great tip! Change, delete, or add as you go to make

You can always delete Vista off and load XP with new computers (nm)

What was written? Moderator is quick to delete

Moderator: Answer, please. Will you delete if posted? NM

Can you say, "not an authorized representative", boys and girls?

Some of us are finding another board that doesn't delete our posts
.
There is a message in the above post. Forgot to delete the "nm."
:+
Yes, a day early!!!
x
Sorry about that, it's still early...nm
x
I have always been an early worker but now..sm
there is NO work and when it does come in it seems everyone is waiting like me to grab it and then there is NO work as there were only a few reports. I addressed these concerns only to be told I needed to be more flexible.
I was asking who the one who paid early is! nm
nm
To early riser
This is exactly who the posts are talking about. Gosh, wonder if this is the only 1 who apparently does this time after time because most seem to know who it is.
whoops, go FOR it, too early
xx
They release you from QA early because they
to review the reports correctly. It is sad. You get what you pay for. Plus you can type all you want from the first day with no regard to quality and I wonder how many slip through without going through QA first?
Retiring early...

First, how do you know the year I was born?? I have already checked with Social Security, and I can retire at the age of 62, 66 or 70 (according to my year of birth).  In addition, I have checked with my financial advisor/stock broker, and he advises me that, yes it would benefit me if I wait until I am 66, as I would get more money, but I do not HAVE to wait until then.  Furthermore, he explained the whole scenario if I work while I am drawing SS. I can work, but I cannot make over 14,130/year.  Whatever amount I do make over that, they will deduct it from my SS.  This money is put aside for me (so to speak). Then, when I reach age 66, I will then be distributed any monies (on my SS check) that I made over and above that 14,130/year, over the rest of my lifetime. So I will kind of get a raise.  If you go to the SS website it explains all of this.  So, the question is, do I want to continue typing my brains out; I don't think so.  I will probably retire at 64-65 and do something enjoyable with my life, but it won't have anything to do with typing, guaranteed!


Pay on time or many times a day early.
nm
I agree - get on early - get leftovers (sm)
the name of the game.  If I get somebody bad and it's almost time for me to quit for the day, I hang up too.
Deventure pays early.
Pay day is Friday but my DD is there every Thursday. :-)
Here's the secret to retiring early --
Not taking SSI and Spheris (of course) doesn't have retirement pay.

What I did was work my behind off for 20 years, invested wisely, and will be retiring at 46. In a custom-built home sitting on 78 acres in a ski community. So, heck yeah, with that carrot in front of me I can put up with a dog of a job for seven more months. I encourage everyone on this board to work towards a GOAL, and not just slave away paycheck to paycheck.

Of course, I started in the heydey when a good MT brought home 60K without breaking a sweat, and I've refused to work for less over the years. Wouldn't have been possible if I'd settled for the paltry sum the companies are pawning off of newbies now adays.

I wish you as much success and looming happiness!!
The last InstantText I used was a very early version, so SM
I can't speak to that any more, but just wanted to stay that ShortHand is excellent and I also love it. But it is a very sophisticated program with a whole bunch of bells and whistles that you can use or not use as you choose.
Same here..I've been trying since early Friday..(sm)
I'll call Monday if I can't get in by then. It's never been down this long before.
