How can 1 person drive someone away sm

Posted By: ? on 2009-02-14
In Reply to: Do you work at W? - I worked with that person if you do.

from a job when everyone works at home?  At least I think everyone is working at home.  I have worked places where I didn't like the people I worked with, but as long as I don't have to look at them all day what do I care?


I am starting to believe there is a certain percentage of people in MT (at whatever level) who are unbelievably sensitive to the point where they cannot work with or for anybody, either because they get upset over some imagined insult or because they are trying to be the top dog and aren't.

Don't work for them and don't drive them.

Yes, it drive me nuts too
I think I work for the same company as you!
hard drive
If you just delete the icon or link to it, yes, it will still be on your hard drive. If you go into Control Panel and Remove Program it will be deleted from the hard drive.
But if you don't drive as part of your MT job,
then why would there be a reimbursement? Or do you pick up and deliver tapes? Or work in house?
They have to drive a whole 10 miles. I am so jealous.

WOW.  They have to drive a whole ten miles.  I am so jealous.   Since MANAGEMENT is based in Madison, Wisconsin and it takes 20 minutes to travel from one end of the city to the other, I do not think driving through the snow for a SPA weekend is all that much of a bonus.  Now Cancun.  That would be a bonus. 


won't it still be stored on the hard drive?
or do you not need to worry about that? 
That's where they are, on Park Place Drive according

Wow, are you blessed! I have 3 hospitals in a 25-min. drive &

We want companies to advertise - not drive them away.
Please do not mock their offers.

Residents and PAs drive me crazy
I have a resident who NEVER, EVER gives the patient's name.

I have a PA who can't pronounce meds let alone spell them ~ she says solatol, Spivira ~ and one time on a discharge summary, she listed 50 diagnoses. Took up a whole page. It was insane.
I'll take drive-bys any day over beheadings

STAY AWAY if you want to keep your sanity. They drive you crazy sm
with the constant changes. Every once in a while, the owner says she can't pay payroll and you have to wait but she does always pay eventually. It stays on track for several months and then happens again.

I thought I had it good there until I went to another service and found out that drama is not the daily norm for other companies.

The owner is a little nuts, but I probably would be in her shoes.

I also know that they are not as big as they lead people on to believe. Makes me wonder what else is not quite the truth.

Best move I made was to leave.
Would you please email me. I have a few questions before I drive myself nuts with this. nm
:
You will have to completely format the hard drive first
delete any partitions and create a new partition, format the C drive and then install Windows XP. I have done this a ton of times and have had no problems.
Well, goodie for you, Flo! I'd be happy if I was Dairy Queen drive-through material
job for which I'm no way qualified to be in too.

Congratulations! Glad you're happy!
I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.

I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way!  This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
Same here. Too much fuzz and static on the lines. Redid the hard drive, new phones, new sound card,
n
I got a travel mug! I work at HOME. I drive 10 miles a week. I don't drink coffee. Sheesh! lo
nm
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
that person go.

Since you are the person
who actually makes an offer to someone, you should have a method of following up with someone after a week or so to make sure that the new hire is up and running, especially after you have been notified that the new hire has returned all necessary paperwork. Your process sucks. period.
Cant you see that the person is already down?
Thats right kick them when they are down. Thats a great example. Get a life.
So they are the same person? nm

The only way a person would need SM

to have nice people to work for and only communicate with nice people is if they are in need of something they should have within themselves.  For me, my job is just something I do for 8 hours a day and whatever they have to say to me, fine, oh well.  It doesn't reflect on me whether people are snippy or rude, I just ignore it and move on in life.


It's just work, business.  Not my whole life. 


Yep. It also looks like this person is just
wanting to hear good things and forget anything else. Just wanting to hear what they want to hear.
As a QA person myself, 13.50 is too low
x
who was the person
Could you share the name or initials of the person. I would like to know if it is who is calling me too.
I really wonder if this person's--sm
initials begin with K and end with I, who used to post here and cause nothing but turmoil. Sure sounds like her.
Not the person above but SM

the person looking for the editors has made it a multi-board issue by posting on different boards telling people to go to the Job Seekers board to see what was posted there.  That's the only way I'd know what was going on.


As far as he/she being run off the boards forever, oh well.  Reputable companies post who they are and the conditions of employment.  We had another semi-anonymous person get help from at least 1 person on this site recently and the MT was never paid.  The MT has no way of contacting the person who owes the $ now.


QA person from, you now where!
Small company and owner is very nice, but the QA person was the absolute worst! Very insulting and humiliating. That is why I left.
I WONDER IF IT IS THE SAME PERSON
SHE WAS A TEAM LEAD WHO USED TO DO THAT, SHE WORKS AS MT AT ANOTHER COMPANY. DON'T KNOW ABOUT A SUPERVISOR BUT A TEAM LEAD USED TO DO THAT A LOT AND YOU KNOW THAT SHE KNEW THE SCHEDULES. THAT HAS BEEN A LONG LONG TIME AGO THOUGH.
Not the person above, but...
The pay is low and they don't pay for experience. Otherwise, they have plenty of work and are a very nice bunch of people.
well my tax person
said because i am in the 15% tax bracket, i should withhold that plus a little (my ss will be paid by employer). Figure 18% will do.
It happens with the job, not particularly the person as I well know.
in straight typing for the last 30 years at 3 different hospitals always made at least 2000 lines per day. Since outsourced now started at a company last summer and was getting around 1200-1300 a day, said no way and the work was not that hard. I changed jobs. Doing VR and straight now and averaging at least 3000 per day and very happy now. (By the way, with the low rates companies are paying, have to speed it up and go as fast as my fingers will take me in my 8 hr day to get that).
I don't think this is the same person. Please
be sure you are not trashing an innocent person with just a similarity in names. And the original poster is just ranting in generalities, but not same person you are jumping to conclusions on - not same name, and not same companies. Names are not the same as the person you are thinking of - just similar.
If one more person says...
Offshoring has nothing to do with cutting costs, but is due to the fact that there are not enough qualified transcriptionists in the US I am going to SCREAM!!! The more I see these things the more it infuriates me!
Try again not the person you think
Wrong person that you are thinking of. Sad if this happened to yet another person, I mean there is my friend and then there is the person you are talking about. If management said they could come back they should stand by their word. You just added to my position that even you, who are defending them, know that they are doing that to others, or at least one other that you know of. Just sad. You know my friend almost had me convinced to leave my current company. I am so very glad I did not.
I don't think it is the same person but I bet they ALL do it.
/
Are you the same person who...
always says, 'check the archives' whenever someone posts a question here? If so, I really wish you would stop it. If someone posts a question, there may be people here who are willing to answer, but you (in a way) close that opportunity for the person posing the question when you post things like this.
probably why the IT person was not much help, I don't
think they want to mess with another company's computer, nor the other company's programs, even though you were the author of that particular content.

If all fails - delet your list. why leave it for them?

looks like the only person
who has something nice to say about them has an Indian name.
You don't have one QA person, so while some are

tougher than others over a period of a week you are likely to have had them all.  I believe them to be fair, they do try to post links that will help you, and you can dispute anything you don't believe is correct - not with QA, but with MT supervisor.  They tend to be less lax if you continue to make the same mistakes and/or don't follow account specifics.  I know of one account that is difficult because of a high percentage of ESL and one account that is difficult because the quality of the voice files is poor.  I know one person who couldn't handle the high ESL account and another who says it really isn't so bad.  If you produce quality work, work your schedule, etc. they seem to be willing to work with you to find a good fit.


There are some things I would change, but overall very pleased and plan to retire with them. 


They do pay better than the majority of the other companies, benefits are much better than 99% of the other companies, I've never not had enough work and usually on OT most days.  They do pay for down time.  They don't offshore either. 


You are a mean person.

How to become a mean person
Mostly you need a personality disorder that makes it difficult for you to see anyone else's point of view of feel compassion for anyone who does not fit your pictures of how they should behave or ask. And you have to be willing to live a completely miserable life because bullying is the purview of cowards.
anyone know this person, ****
does anyone know of a ***** with tarheel transcription?
You know if this person cannot even

then that would be a red flag that most likely the work will be inconsistent as well as the pay.  If this person has such a great team, then she would not have to post like this in such a disorganized manner. 


I just read about this on the job seekers board, and it would seem to me that a simple job posting, and then having applicants follow simple test directions would have been a much better approach.  Not all business owners have the best business ethics.


What do you do when a QA person
The feedback messages come across as rude.  They send you corrections that don't make sense.  How do you exist with someone like this?  I've never been in this position until now.
Am I being let go? How does a person know

without the company saying anything?


I think it has a lot to do with the person
I have been doing for past 35 years, 66 now and I do not notice a difference in my stamina. I do lots of VR so that helps the arms out some but when I started VR still had almost 32 years in transcribing, no problems.
You can't seriously think it's just one person...?
