If you cannot see the Medquist link in the left column, you need to delete your cookies and empty your cache file.  That will resolve your problem.

To lunch?
A
I owe you a lunch or ...
at least a THANK YOU  for your post, this one and the *bright spot* post.  The comment you made before about angels watching over, also struck a cord with me.  If you don't mind, I would like to email you in the future using the MTStars address.  Again, thank you for posting.
Seems like the ESLs will eat you for lunch
I know they had one good account but think that has been filled. 
Thanks!! Now I can't wait for lunch.
LOL
'Tis better than the air of chili dogs for lunch.
just kidding...
I'll play - EZ lunch decisions
I don't have to make the decision the night before or in the morning whether to pack a lunch or buy. Can decide to make rice in the cooker, microwave a meal or just eat a sandwich, or even not eat till I'm famished, all up to me and not a clock.
How it breaks down...... sm
I stated earlier that I had almost 20 years in the business; I have 17 to be exact with 10 years as an independent contractor with my own accounts and 7 years working for various national and smaller companies. I started out with Edix and HealthScribe, so I have been through the acquisitions and merger thing as well. I have been with Webmedx for less than a year, and no, I am NOT in management. I have been in management at 2 other companies in the past, however.

I still see technology as the driving force of this industry because it is what brings about the changes we are all seeing right now. The MT, in my opinion, is the backbone of the industry, but that backbone has to be flexible enough to accommodate the changes as they occur. ASR is a major change in our industry right now, and yes, it does put out some garbage. It will never be perfected to the point that there is no need for it to be cleaned up by good, knowledgable MTs who are willing to accept the challenge of learning new things. I don't like it any more than anyone else because it has cut into my earnings because of the lower pay rate, but I realize that I must accept that challenge if I want to continue in this business. No one of us can make ASR go away, unless of course one has one's own accounts and can call most of the shots. I love medical transcription and realize that I must make changes within myself to meet the ongoing changes within the field or I will find myself out of a job. Like I said before, I may have to eat my words one day, but until that day, I will strive to make myself as marketable in this industry as possible.
You take lots of breaks!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sorry but the tax breaks have been there for years. (nm)

If they invented a food pedal, we would never be allowed to take a lunch break, lol.

Breaks & Line Count

The company I work for lets us take our breaks, but our line count is still based on 8 hours.  They deduct the 1/2 hour for lunch (shift is 8.5 hours) but don't consider our break time, so isn't that basically like we really aren't getting breaks since we are penalized for it paywise?


Apprectiate any thoughts on this and if it is standard.


 


I know about the tax breaks, but what about taxes for overseas, .... I know companies don't pay t
I know companies don't pay taxes for them. So, is it also an advantage to overseas jobs for companies not to have to pay insurance, taxes, social security? Do you know how many American jobs are overseas with not one of them paying Social Security? I am also not for illegal immigrants per se but my heart goes out to people in a strange land who can't find anything but menial work trying to get out of a desperate situation in Mexico (it must be desperate to go to the extremes to get over here), and of course can't get a Social Security card, driver's license. Surely it is humanitarian to care for these people.

The thing is, even voting for the one who says they will stop it (and it is not Hillary Clinton, she has even gone overseas to promote jobs to countries), the businesses have the money for lobbying and big business is not going to go down without a HUGE fight.
you borrowed money from someone who breaks legs?
I know you're probably kidding about the breaking legs. If you've been paying payments for 4 years, shouldn't you have that thing about paid off?
No one is changed to desk or have to post potty breaks. Probably better than ever,
zz
Maybe they mean sign in and out for breaks etc to keep track of the 8 hours that you are to work. nm

where is the MQ link

I do not see the MQ link to the left of the page anymore.  Was it moved?


 


MQ Link

To sm:


I am sorry for my post. I did not really see the Medquist menu at the left margin as of the time I posted my suggestion. It seems the link has been deleted for some time, as some viewers have just complained. 


Thanks,

see link below
It's an SE position.  Fortunately I'm a vet and can get my healthcare at the V.A.  I'll figure something out later, but right now I need an INCOME since MQ has messed me up royally.  I may have other places I could find health insurance, maybe through the small business organization or something. Ill miss my PTO, but, hey, nothing is perfect :)
no link for me
Since the boards went through an update (about the time the MQ board was made) I haven't been able to see any specialty boards listed on the left anymore, just Top, Home, and Contact.  I have to go to Home to see the list of the specialty boards and for some reason MQ board is not even on there with the others. 
Try this link.
When the link opens up, look on the left-hand side under News & Info, and there is a section called message board.   If this link doesn't work go to yahoo.com and click on finance.  When the finance page opens up, type trcr at the top of the page where it says enter symbol(s).  The message board link will be on the left-hand side of that page too. 
Link to another link. Look for changes soon

I don't work for CyMed, but I saw this link posted on another board.  It seems to have a little information.
