I'm with Victoria … don't worry about it. You meant no racist slur, and sm
this person is just trying to stir up trouble. I remember the phrase from when I was a kid 100 years ago, but it seems you cannot say anything anymore without first checking to see if it is politically correct. I would rather look at the heart of what the person is saying, what he/she meant, and not pick everything apart by individual words or phrases to beat the person over the head because perhaps they did not use the right phrasing or whatever. Life's too short to blow up over every little thing.
I am sorry you were treated that way. Seems best to polish up your resume and find someone who will appreciate all you are willing to give. Good luck!
The word RACIST is tiresome - disagree with someone who is not white, you're a racist
News Flash: Non-white people can be jerks too.
not true and very racist
They do not live in dirt houses, only the poorest of the poor in rural areas do that. We have people in the US living in appliance boxes, what does that say about us???? They also take care of their families and do not put their elders in nursing homes. If you are current on the global economy, India, China, and Japan have all surpassed the US in technology now. There are too many people here who do not want to work. We have 5 productions plants where we live and my daughter-in-law works at one as a supervisor and she said they have to fire somebody daily. They catch people in their cars asleep, hiding behind the building, in the bathrooms, etc. All of them are seriously short on employees and if they don't have people, they can't operate. Then when they pick up and leave, everybody gets their undies in a wad. There are those of us who work 2 jobs and those who wouldn't even work a part-time job. Can't lump everybody into one category.
I haven't seen any racist comments.
And to go around from board to board calling people racist for no reason is just not cool.
The racist comments on this board are tiresome...
not offensive - the original post WAS racist......
Unkind remarks
I find it quite disturbing to see unkind remarks on this board. We are professionals, should act accordingly, and try to support and help our brother and sister MTs. Puffing about line counts and insulting others is just plain mean spirited. Everyone gets something different to deal with. Can't we be decent here? Who else but others in our profession would understand the complexities and diverse situations we get thrown into on a daily basis. Things are not like they were 10 or 15 years ago in this business. Lets share information, give support, stick together, and be kind.
unkind remarks
I agree with you, Sherry.
Keep the personal remarks to yourself.
You are entitled to your opinion, but so am I entitled to mine, and I am always willing to engage in honest debate about any point. I am also willing to agree to disagree. But making personal wisecracks crosses the line, and does not further the discussion.
As for me being 'untrue,' you don't know the first thing about me, who I am and what I'm made of, so unless you can prove to the world at large that you really DO know me (which you don't), again, keep the personal remarks to yourself.
Those remarks don't bother me..coming
to work at OSi.
It nice to see some positive remarks about MQ, sm
I am starting tomorrow and am looking forward to it. 
Your disparaging remarks, oh if only you knew
Does the remark about lack of education make you feel more important? My husband and I own a business (not transcription) and it serves our needs very well. I am retired over 3 years now, just work parttime so as not to get rusty because I really enjoy transcription- it is not something I have to do now to make a living. Our business taxes and mine are separate. I no longer pay social security and I make an excellent bottom line pay in trancription because I am fast after all the years I have done this. I sponsor several animal rescue places where most of my earned money goes to. I would not feel bad about my lack of education. I have done ok in my life and have reached a time when life is just a bowl of cherries.

VERY GOOD MTSO! DON'T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE REMARKS!
I have had an excellent experience with Nicholas Transcription since signing on with them over two months ago. She pays on a weekly basis and the pay is seldom late. When it is late, it's only one or two days off. I received my first paycheck via DD the second week (on a Friday) after I turned in my first invoice, which is not usual. In fact, most MTSOs pay on a bi-monthly basis -- she pays us weekly!!! I have gotten paid in a timely manner with the exception of only one or two times and both times, she paid me the following Monday or Tuesday and she made me aware of the fact that the DD would be a day or so late. Also, the owner was upfront and honest and made me aware that late payments do happen on occasion prior to my ever signing a contract and I was fine with that -- so long as I get paid, I'm fine with that (AND SHE DOES PAY ME WEEKLY)!
Also, the owner is extremely flexible, understanding, and extremely very easy to work for. The dictators are great and the work is very consistent.
I speak from present experience! I work for her now and will continue working for her. Don't believe the negative comments -- they are not true.
Inflammatory remarks? Lets see, stand up for your
Yep, then guilty of inflammatory remarks made in attemtp to get MTs to see they are only victims if they ALLOW themselves to become victims. I dont mind when others strike back at me, it shows they at least have the backbone to do that. Now if that would channel that backbone to do something about the situation they are whining about, they might get somewhere.
That's right. Back up your claims with facts, not with lunatic remarks.
Step up to the plate and post in more of a professional manner. Otherwise, it serves no real purpose. MTStars was not created for people to come only to post their personal smear campaign.
Hateful remarks usually arise after someone from the company in question
and people get sick of it. Sorry, but it's true. Yes, people do get very angry and probably post things they shouldn't but when you see someone on here posting 24/7 and it's obvious where they're from and what they're up to it really starts to grate on your nerves like Chinese water torture.
Information people gather from this board also includes warnings from former employees of companies about their past experiences and observations and I've used that information many times myself. It's a life-saver.
No worries. I can understand how her remarks could make you angry. sm
At least people, men and women, can now take off for that special time. This is not the same by any means, but I remember working inhouse quite a few years ago and our supervisor had everyone so terrorized and in fear or being off that a woman had her gallbladder out and came back to work the next day! I hope those days are gone.
I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for
xxx
It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to
Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO. Geeesh.
There is a comedy board...put your remarks on that board. nm

Sorry I meant
just like sm and not dj. I
did not see who correctly who posted first.
Oh, NO!!! That's not what I meant.
I'm sorry it came across that way. I got duped into applying with them by all the rave reviews on the boards, too. Plus, they make no mention of it on their website. I refuse to work for a company that offshores. As for the people who are happy there, more power to them. That's their decision and I'm glad they've got great jobs. I just need something else from a company.
SORRY - meant DRC not DSC
...
As I said, if it meant that much to me I WOULD
figured it was their loss. No biggie to me. All I was doing was giving MY experience with the company, which consisted of being told I would be called back, and then not being called.
THE LAST ONE MEANT FOR MT2
Thanks!
14,000 - that's what I meant to say! nm

Sorry, I meant see msg
/
I meant even that isn't much FOR QA...

Sorry, I think I meant DSG. nm

I am sure that is what was meant.
Would you tell your child that determination is not enough? I felt that it was not appropriate to tell a future grad that she cannot do something when there is not one of us who knows her well enough to make such a judgement.
sorry meant WILL NOT
get that rate at Deventure
what I meant was...
that I had information and if you would email me, I would share that information in a private email.
Sorry I meant to say just . . . .
Sorry I meant to say just my opinion.
That's not the "M" that I meant.
:)
Sorry...meant
Remember the MTSO/hospital has the ability to change the way lines are counted and not allow you to check your lines...run like the wind from a company who will not allow you to have access to line counts!
You KNOW what she meant. - QA
She probabloy is in a dither.
he/she may have meant
that people who get paid weekly no matter what (I suppose that could be management, tech staff, office staff, whatever) do not understand the importance of consistency in line counts for someone paid by the line. Do not stay in the twilight zone too long. GEEEEEEEEEEEESH.
I think what Rad MT meant
Was that typing on an MT board and performance at work were two different things. You can't get fired for posting a message with bad grammar, spelling or punctuation. However you can get fired for making mistakes in reports on the job.
However everyone including RadMT needs to calm down.
Sorry....... I meant to say those at FN....
xx
I meant..
something not someone.
I meant that is sad
Spheris has sucked out my last brain cell, LOL.
meant doing one now.
I meant the OP :-) nm

Sorry...meant MDI, not MDS
:)
I meant......
I have nothing to do with 'India'.
In your mind if I say that Indians are intelligent, this makes me in your eyes an Indian?
I know that a lot of people read these comments, but still they cannot detect my 'dialect'. I think you mean 'accent'.
Can people who read what I write hear my accent?
Not such a good 'Sherlock Holmes, aren't you? I can tell 100% this and that...and I can tell, you can tell nothing.
I meant to say yes, yes, yes - keep looking/ not yes, yes, yes take the job! nm

I meant to say 7.5 cpl when off QA
thanks
I meant thank you to sm NM
