Hateful?

In Reply to: Hateful? - wawa

Yes, but there's a difference between constructive criticism and demeaning emails. Since you aren't in my shoes, you can't relate, but I feel there's a certain level of professionalism that should be maitained by all, and some people in management lack it. You're right, some people just may not fit, and if that is the case, take care of it sooner rather than later. I welcome feedback too, but I do not appreciate demeaning emails from management. I've received lots of feedback in my time, and most of it has been constructive, but I've received some of the destructive sort of feedback (if you want to call it feedback) as well, and I can relate to the OP. You don't have to agree; you are entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.

I don't understand why you're directing your post at me. I don't feel I fit your stereotype of people who like to complain and complain. I'm not that type of person. It's just nice to have a place to vent, and it's nice to know that I'm not alone in some situations. I have a feeling that's why a lot of people post. We can read what we want and ignore the rest. We all have that option.

hateful...

What on earth are you talking about?  How did you extrapolate "bigot" out of my reply to the OP?   I am not a bigot, have never been one and will never be one.  I posted yesterday on a thread about watching attitudes - something every thinking person should do.  S/L yours could use some adjusting. 


Good Grief - you people are like a flock of vultures.


Hateful?
Some people just like to get on here and complain complain about a previous employer. Put the shoe on the other foot. Doing any kind of management, editing or QA is not a glamour job nor does it make that person the most beloved in the company. Perhaps some people just do not fit in with a particular program. What is perceived as belittling to one, might be totally opposite to someone else and totally appreciated. I am often on the receiving end of feedback and I welcome it. As for nervous types, take some Xanax and take a nap. Its a business people, not a popularity contest. Just do it right the first time, everyone will be happy and you'll be left alone.
Why are you so hateful?
The OP was asking about job opportunites...she did not ask to have her work speed critiqued! I get so sick of you dinosaurs who say Oh, I have been doing this for 100 years thinking that just because you have been doing MT a long time, it means you can insult others. There is absolutely no sense in it. Don't you have anything else better to do with your time than sit there and think of ways to hurt someone's feelings? There is being blunt and then there is just being plain rude. Since you think you are so smart, it looks like you would know the difference!!!
Wow, you are one hateful person.
I think you are the disgusting one.
Not being hateful, it's true.
It happened about 2 years ago. A bunch of people came on here and bashed them real bad about line count methods and everyone who worked there was told not to do it anymore or lawyers would get involved. I don't work there and never did. I'm not bashing them at all. Just recall that happening and now no one at all says much bad about them. They keep it to themselves.
You are right. No hateful replies at all.
Especially since it is also the trend to use VBC virtual black character (no spaces) for line counting. There was an article on the web by FutureNet showing how it words and comparisons.
You are completely hateful. nm

Well, there must now be more than one of you, too! Cause there was an ugly hateful thread

about racial prejudice - really shocking, and someone named eyetype was proudly gloating and calling herself a string of things of which I can only recall old hateful bigot, but she was gonna get a new attitude, or something to that effect. Whole thing now deleted, conveniently, but I actually made a sticky note to remember who it was that said these horrible things.  Now that's a HUGE spot to reach in my world - SO BAD that I would put a sticky note anywhere!  I have never done that before in my life, and there are some ugly posters around these here woods!!  I wanted to be sure to steer clear of you and NEVER forget what you said, you or the other eyetype?


pretty hateful sounding
I reread my posts and I said Fine that I understood what you were saying was rude.  I was just commenting about the line count issue at Transcend, giving MY opinion.  I have yet to see in any of my posts anything rude or sarcastic towards you.  I don't understand why your posts to me have an accusatory or rude context to them.  I disagree with you on certain issues that we have talked about here.  There is nothing wrong with that.  I understood and understand what you thought was rude.  Okay, get over it!  I am done talking about that, I was just trying to give my opinion about the company.  I could care less about having the last word or not.  I just want to give my opinion that happens to represent a fair amount of MTs out there who happen to be happy at their company.  Sorry if that bothers you to the core! 
I learned the hard way that when someone is so hateful like
this is because they are in the wrong and can't accept it and have to blame everyone and the brother for it.   Sounds like OSi and she deserve each other. 
Offered you a job but was hateful and condescending?
About what?!?!? Details! Details! LOL! This is too good.
I'm being hateful to complete strangers?
you've got it all figured out, now don't you? Guess you told me, huh?

Are you dyslexic by any chance, or just in a rush to judgment? The first 10 years of my career, I was an in-house MT with great pay and benefits. We were respected employees in the hospital and I enjoyed a reputation as being a top-notch MT....that's how I got a 30% raise with free benefits at Baylor College Medicine and later at Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, working during the hey-day of heart transplant advances made by such world-renown doctors as Dr. Denton Cooley and Dr. Michael DeBakey. You may have heard of them. So you see, I never really considered myself a failure, having been in the position to have the privilege of being a part of that. I guess I needed you to bring that to my attention.

After outsourcing, I maintained my connections to the Baylor and the TMC through my accounts and typed my way through ground-breaking AIDS research and later pioneering advances in plastic surgery. Silly me. I didn't measure my success in terms of dollars and cents, worldly possessions and the like. I took great pride in my work (still do) and learned to struggle through the love/hate relationship I had with it. At least I had the satisfaction of knowing that I was a part of something that was intelligent, important, worthwhile and helpful to others. I stayed in it for the only real reason I have ever understood throughout the years...quality patient care. I had a contribution to make to that. You see, dear, it was not an industry to me...it was my calling.

My post was an attempt to address the unnecessary hate part of that relationship. My comments were not directed toward some mean-spirited stranger in need of a self-righteous superiority fix, but feel free to trounce me to your heart's content. I did not put in all those years of hard work to be run out of the profession by theiving subcontractors or the likes of you. I had a story to tell and a message to deliver to the penny pinching TTD scavenger, no more, no less.

Your judgmental, snide and trite observations are too petty to merit further comment, except to say that you need to reserve the pity party for yourself. You are the one who has made a sad and meaningless commentary here, not me.

I work for Keystrokes and I am not heartless or hateful...
I think the other posters just had horrible, horrible experiences with this person when she was there and they are just still very angry...sometimes anger makes you say things you don't necessarily mean...they are just trying to stick up for a good company and not let one disgruntled former employee badmouth them...
That's pretty hateful. From what I have read the complaint is not just VR but a sm

lack of work, and a seeming lack of caring on the part of mangement regarding what the MTs are facing.  I hate VR, but I was not one of those who hated the advent of WP or anything new -- quite the opposite.  I love new things and new technology!  But VR benefits no one but the company and MTs who do not type fast.  I could type the report myself much faster than I could edit the garbage put in front of me.  So ... great ... I could spend the same amount of time and get half the money.  And you wonder why they are upset?


Fortunately, I no longer work there, although my work at KS has dried up so much I wonder what is happening there.  Fortunately, I have a couple of other jobs, but everything makes me nervous nowadays.


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.
Eyetype is proud of herself - on other posts she calls herself an old hateful bigot or
something to that effect.  I just totally avoid anything with her name in it - such a waste of eye sight.  Obviously, her husband, if she ever had one, checked out on her, and she's a miserable evil person.  Poor thing, though its hard to feel sorry for her when she's so ugly.
What a hateful post. Hope your rant made you feel better. nm

IMO, it's just easier to be rude hiding behind the guise of a screen name. The hateful ones here
It's likely that the hostile MTs that constantly spew negative remarks are the same ones who are too passive to speak up for themselves in the real world. They are basically cowards that take crap all day then come here and anonymously take their pinned up frustrations out on everyone else.

I have seen this on many message boards, but for whatever reason, MT Stars is the absolute worst for this. Isolation must be a huge factor. Some of these gals just need to get out once in a while. JMO
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
