of course men don't work for free; and they typically get paid better than women
and they are definitely jerks - all of them - they suck and they know it, and we are not impressed
Do you know what the right of free speech is?
It does not apply to private company matters, etc.

Geez.

I, too, think free speech is very important! - sm
Although, as the moderator said, I don't base my company application decisions on what any one person says, I DO go back and read archives, compare notes, read between-the-lines, and decide for myself whether the post I read is truthful or not. Even more important is the number of posts on a company. Almost without a doubt, the more that is written about a company, the less likely I would be to apply there, as they obviously have rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

Also, reading & posting on a forum on the internet is a lot more interesting when you can really say what you need to, and read what others really need to say. If this board were to become so censored and whitewashed that everyone had to walk on eggs and tiptoe around, trying not to offend anyone or alert others to a situation they truly should avoid, then pretty soon there'd be no posters left, except for a very thin-skinned few.

I agree, we all cross the line sometimes, but for the most part, I think this is a fun and interesting board. I've probably learned more about my own profession HERE, than I ever have on my many years (and still counting) on the job.

If you think free speech is "uggg" you should move

Public board. Free speech, and all that. If it bothers

"ONLY a profession of predominantly women would call the other women crazy for wanting the basics
If this were a male-predominant industry, I can guarantee you the companies would be offering more or else they wouldn't have any workers. Men don't stand for the stuff women do. I don't understand why women do not think they are worth a fair wage, decent benefits, and a little vacation time here and there. Many say this is just a part-time gig while they raise a family. Does that mean your time is less valuable? I just don't get it.
Free enterprise. You are free to re-educate and retrain, as well!!!!
What's the complaint?!

GO FOR IT GIRLS nm
nm
My, my...you girls are defensive!
Never said I was a W fan, did I? Don't get your panties in a wad!
Be nice girls

Let's just get back to work girls
let bygones be bygones and let it go already.  Let's get back to work and do our jobs!
Never got paid from Priority, and neither did at least two other girls I know of.

Can we say censorship, boys and girls??
x
Yes, that was horrible and I know a few girls that still work there...
and it is still horrible...You would think they would have gotten that taken care of by now...
Excuse typo girls and boys
OOP not OUP that would be.
LOL
girls - the line count 'ajustments' are commonplace and
not limited to TT.
Can you say, "not an authorized representative", boys and girls?
NM
sm, please see the message above posted by calling all girls. The two of you are motivated
and probably should hook up.  Maybe you can get something going here.
Girls, hold onto your hats. Say it isnt so...if something is too good to be true..it usually is.
An ad on the job seeker's for 12 cpl...yeah right. I hope that Janis Reed realized she just opened a can of worms and her inbox is going to be flooded. I just still wish I believed in Santa too. Everyone tell me the skinny if your brave enough to apply. I bet no one thought they'd see the day when they would become paranoid about seeing an ad for 12 cpl LOL.. At 6 cpl, I'm disgusted, at 7 cpl, I'm not impressed, at 8 cpl..maybe...if easy clinic account, at 9 cpl, taking a second look, at 10 cpl, you've got my attention, getting a litte skeptical that it isn't all ESL, 11 cpl, Right!!!!, but 12 cpl...NO FLIPPING WAY.. Keep me posted.
You're -- not your okay typos fixed -- irritates me about you pregnant girls getting wonderfu
benefits from TT. 
women??
How do you know they are just training WOMEN?  LOL  See, that is part of the problem with this industry...everyone assumes only WOMEN do the work.
Free sure. There are free on-line fax

services, in fact I used one last week.   Most do have limits on how often you can use and how many pages though.  You obviously would have to scan pages into a document, but maybe she doesn't have a scanner either.


She could have mailed paperwork back. 


What are the initials of these 2 women. I think I know but not sure. Why do they keep them.
:
Is that the one that is so proud of being run by all women?
x
women dominated?

I don't know, maybe would be better.  When I began, pay scale was great -- could make a VERY good living.  I think it is more the mergers and free trade agreement and little government regulation that is bringing us down.  Lots of men in factory work have been plunged into poverty by corporate greed.


 


MT & EXPLOITATION OF WOMEN..SM

Yes, I believe the MT industry has gone all out, especially the home-based, in exploitation of women.  These MTSOs are pushing to get by with as much as they can.  How many guys do we see now as MTs?? There used to be a fair number of men doing transcription ... no more.  Maybe these guys got wise a long time before we ever will.  Women have always gotten the dirty end of the stick in the work force, but the MT industry has carried it to extremes, making demands they wouldn't make in any other industry... lower salaries, being manipulated re. schedules and hours, cheated on line counts, unpaid demographic work, etc. etc. etc.  I could go on and on.  It will stop when we make it stop.... sadly, there are MTs who so desperately need the income they'll put up with it. 


matronly women.............
I am not there yet, but I know already now that I am going to enjopy those 'golden years' or do my best to do so.
Already now I would not like to go 1 day back.

Yeah, they don't want women...
dressing likes prostitutes in their country.  Can you blame them?  Look at how some American women dress...and this is what we call 'freedom.'  It's pathetic!
Some women who've gone to the UAE have

Another nosy one fighting with me over nothing! You women (?)
jump in threads and fight with the wrong person!! Aren't you embarassed? Can you follow conversations in real life? I doubt it! I'm not talking about computers or anything - I'm on Busy MTings side, really.  We're having a fine conversation, in case you hadn't stuck your nose in the full thread!!  I'm not the bozo worrying about whose computer she's using and that nonsense. AND YES I WORKED FOR SPHERIS!!  HORRIBLE! JUST ANOTHER MONSTER NATIONAL! And I work for MQ - YUCK.  But it pays the bills, though that is another story all together!  When you nosy posters who jump in a thread decide to jump in and bash, why not pick an intelligent fight with the correct person?  You make no sense and look like more of a jerk than you obviously think I am!!  Sorry, too, not a blonde!  Black as the Ace of Spades - wanna fight about my hair??
Yah - a couple women got rich, and we all got -nm
.
That comment was very degrading to women.
xx
Nagging, whining WOMEN!!!
Exactly why I choose to work at home!!!!
You said it! Women defined careers just don't pay
no respect.....men would never put up with the crap we do
Women in bathrobes unite! Puhleeze...

Men always minimize women's problems. I would DUMP

ahh com'on, peope (women) don't stitck together
I did note something on MTStars Job seekers, Transcription Express had an ad (I did not see another one a few below this one) but in the newer ad, gave her email and said use this one as she had no replies, guess she figured they did out go through on the board. So later I clicked on the first ad. It offered 7 cents (THUS, I would guess nobody was biting) HOO RAY) That is how to get the rates up but nobody will. Look how they accept 3-4 cents a line on VR. Pitiful.

HOW TRUE...from romance to finance, women are the first...
to sell each other out. At least men have their 'man code' even when it doesn't make great sense to me. The same man that will cheat on his wife would NEVER sleep with his best friend's wife...go figure.

Men will at least stand up and say I will not be treated like this and damn the consequences while women tiptoe around hoping things won't get any worse. My biggest problem is the corporate suits, mostly male, get this and do use it against us.
why and what kind of women 'flaunt' their bodies?...sm
This is the question. Why do they flaunt their nice bodies?
Is this to entice men? Running around half-naked and then they wonder when they get raped.

BTW, I have a very nice body, but I do not flaunt it, this is a very risky behavior.
Again, lonely women in need of male attention, whether the guy's into females or not
but that's just me. THat goes for the so junior high comment below. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them immature. You have your opinion, I have mine. Deal with it.
Sure do agree with you WORKING women set a good example for kids and
SCHOOL and DAY CARE never replace a mother. A 2 person family with a stay at home mom does not make a great kid. I see messed up kids from stay at home families all the time, the wealthier they are sometimes, the more entitled and into alcohol and drugs the kids turn out. A child sees the mother providing for them and it makes them feel loved and secure. I do not want my daughter to be a stay at home mom. I was her to have a career and to always have confidence and to be able to support her family whether there is a husband or not. Not all husbands make enough to keep a family going. Some people are just very narrow minded.

E-zines, women and parenting mags, local newspaper.

I have a subscription to writersmarket.com to find places to submit, and there are a few market list databases at other websites.  I'm just starting out again myself after giving it up a couple of years ago.  The few articles I was paid for weren't worth much at all.  I've got a few book ideas I'm working on, too, but I never have time for it.


What have you done with your writing so far?  Do you belong to any writing groups or anything?


That is terrible. You know, those women have no idea how to handle all these big university accounts
that are moving up there. They are very very wrong about some of the things they do and it seems like they really dont know as much as they would like you to think they do. That is absolutely disgusting that they did that. I hope that MT reported them to anyone in New Jersey they could find. I would have taken that as far as I could have if I would have been her to the CEO. That is just horrendous. My goodness, why does MQ continue with them. I believe firmly if you make enough calls you will find someone that is willing to listen and take the info where it needs to go I believe that.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.

Speech rec MTs, how do you like it?  Do you make good money with speech rec?  Please share the pros and cons?  Thank you.  Email me if you can.  Thanks!

What are the advantages to going to speech recognition?  It it cumbersome to work without the foot pedal.  What about switching back and forth?

Thanks for your input.

Can you say what VR system you use? I have used Dictaphone and love it and MQs ASR and lose so much time and money with that.
