Whoa....

In Reply to: Learn to budget. If you need to go to payday loan places, it's YOUR OWN FAULT. sm - TooOldForThis

A bit on the nasty side, aren't we?

While I certainly don't advocate patronizing payday loan places as they're notorious for overcharging on interest and becoming a habitual practice for its patrons, I also don't condone telling someone that their problem boils down to 2 issues, black and white, and to 'stop whining and work.'

Honestly, do you have a crystal ball and know what the OPs situation is? Do you know that she doesn't have issues that include a terminally ill parent/spouse/relative for whom she cares and counts on a certain payday for a specific reason?

Yeah, I don't know if she does or not, either.

Maybe she's a diehard spendthrift.

Or maybe she has financial issues that the rest of us have not been cursed with.

You sound like a very bitter person, and I certainly hope if you have children you're far more compassionate with their issues than you displayed with this OP.

If you were trying to win some dubious award for nastiest post of the day, CONGRATULATIONS...You win.

How pathetic some of you are with your judgments and put-downs. I can only imagine how utterly miserable your lives must be.

Whoa there.
Relax. Please don't midunderstand. The comment is not directed at you personally and not intended to impeach your sources. I was simply trying to express great surprise that your research on this site or any other would turn up such negative press on such a good platform. Did not mean to imply otherwise.

Don't think that the substance of my post lies in the that silly opening comment, but rather in the review of the platform. Of course it is not a company, but the platform is used by a company that is currently hiring at at time when some of its people are low on work. I don't think it is completely unrealistic to suggest that work starved transcriptionists might try to keep their own territory secure. My message is meant to encourage that person or anybody to feel free to pursue work with any company that uses it with confidence that they won't regret it.
Whoa! Huh? 700 lph at 12 cpl!?!?

Whoa!
I think she meant because you stated if you stayed in your seat meaning you are glued to it.
Whoa!
Sounds like they should be top of the list for the Hall of Shame!  Seriously, we need one these days!  Time is money, and it takes time to sift through all these crappy companies! 

Yikes!
WHOA!!
That is downright stupid of you to say.  Must be a newbie. 
Whoa......
No warning, no nothing? She just sat there and timed how long you were you gone with the potty/coffee break, and fired you, just like that???? OMG, that's absolutely crazy!!! For all she knew, you were desperately trying to work through the stomach flu and had been in the bathroom vomiting that entire time.

That's just fricking insanity.

Sorry you lost your job, JM0405, but I've no doubt there's a more appreciative gig out there for you, like one that doesn't time your potty breaks!!!
Whoa...What???!!?? English please?

Whoa people!
Group hug!
Whoa...thanks for the warning! nm

WHOA NELLIE!
Back in the day. I wasn't even an MT Back in the day so I doubt seriously I am frozen there.

someone finally lets loose, do you not read this board very often? People on here let loose every day!

As for this hyena standing up for what she deserves (and I feel safe in thinking I speak for a few of the other estemeed hyenas) I would have stood up LONG before anyone owed me 5K!!!
WHOA! Let's back up here. First off, I don't post anywhere....
like I "do here" until somebody keeps trying to dig. I thought I was plenty clear in my initial post that I am flexible on my hours, working when the work is there and asking for different accounts as I said. That means that when the OT is there, I don't shy away from it and am willing to work when the work is there to be done. I do NOT take work away from other MTs. If the work is low, I work my regular hours, but in this business the work is so fluctutant, especially at this time of the year, that it's rather easy to get the lines "with flexibility."

If I came off as "with an attitude," it was only because I felt YOU were trying to find out if I was one of those who "steals" lines or in some way trying to find out more than I felt was yours to know. I Just thought, however, that my initial post was pretty concise.

As I stated earlier, flexibility of hours, plus a LOT of shortcuts and whole texts into the shortcut file helps. Familiarity with an account always leads to higher lines. There is always a learning curve for any job or any account and its dictators, so that is definitely a factor. "Ruth" who posted above summarized what I had said in my initial post and that I thought was clear.

It really boils down to the basics of being a productive MT, I suppose. Is this what you want to know?????????
WHOA!!!HUGE RED FLAG --- SM
They would have known WELL AHEAD of time if they were upgrading the direct deposit. Something is going on with the finances of the company. Now, have they made any comments about paying people for bounced checks and such that will occur because of this lack of notice? If not, get the hell out and don't look back! Also, print out the email that says they were upgrading in case you need it for court documentation
whoa - that just may be a troll post.....sm

as I know it, the MT work coming out of India is sent to 3 doctors in India who sit in a room and proofread ALL India-MT work........saw a program on cable TV.....and this work is proofed before it comes back to the US.....


Whoa, please be very careful. Their ad is very unrealistic
nm
Whoa. Back up here just a minute.

Read the website info carefully.

If you are okay with any stranger having proof of your identity, your address AND A PICTURE ID, go right ahead and fork those babies over...no questions asked. A word of caution. Those two documents are really everything that anybody will ever need to steal your identity. The picture ID is icing on the cake. Sound paranoid? Not if it has happened to you a time or two. It's been done to me 3 times in the past 15 years. It is a really creepy feeling and a HUGE hassle to undo.

The only legitimate documents for proof of citizenship are U.S. birth certificate, a U.S. passport, a Certificate of Naturalization or a Certificate of Citizenship.

These new rules they talk about have only been effective since sometime in 2006. DL and SS prove only you identity...unless of course you are younger than 1-1/2.

You probably cannot avoid giving your SS#....but I agree with the other poster....copies of the rest of it only if you are hired. If it were mean, I would not hesitate to ask them exactly why they need them.
Whoa, I meant Transcend

Whoa! Where've you been? This board was
positively crackling with anger over all of Acusis' MT's getting a 10-15% wage cut. We all got a phone call last Friday. Maybe they just couldn't get to everybody in one day. And she conveniently didn't mention it this morning in the meeting. Since they do a pretty good job of keeping us from getting in touch with each other (unless you want to do it on their totally monitored company email), you should check in with this thread on MT Stars DAILY. It's the only way we all have of comparing notes.
WHOA, TRANSCEND DOES NOT ALWAYS PAY FOR SPACES
It depends what account you are on. I'm on one that DOES NOT pay for spaces. It depends on what they agreed to when the account was set up with each individual hospital.
Whoa, 18 days of PTO? Really? I'd sure like to hear the details on that. nm
nm
WHOA! Could this be a scam to steal personal ID???? nm
???
whoa what kinda mistakes are YOU making?
You work that many hours and I am sure there are a few screw ups here and there in your reports from tiredness. I mean even your posts are very hard to understand.
Whoa! That's one of the strangest policies I've seen
They make you list 3 places you tried to look up a term? That's just plain nuts. I wonder what their turnover rate is.

Thanks for the info.
Whoa, you TOTALLY misunderstood my post
Calm DOWN! I meant to ask your company only allows you to type 1200 lines a day? I would never do what you're accusing me of. Slow down and consider that before you blow your top like that. I was sympathizing with you, not trying to tear you down. Geeze!
Whoa..been years since they've been mentioned! Is their website current?
