Oh, horse poop, anyone can retire

I can retire, no big deal about that. Stated the facts, she is retired and she has come here to gab. I don't think she is particularly lucky. I am the age of retirement but choose to work because I want to make double the money. Don'cha think that is smart? I also don't have to worry about working, just do because I want to.

Cause I am a chicken poop:)
I have to get up the nerve I guess.  Afraid of disappointment and rejection:(  As I guess most of us are.
What a load of poop
When I put a space in a report, I'm pretty sure that's MY thumb that hits that space bar - I have the tenosynovitis to prove it. Therefore I should be paid. I think if that were the case we would have to send in reports with no spaces just to prove a point. OMG - just let me hang on in this industry long enough to put myself through nursing school!!!!
Oh poop! Major weenie shrinker!

I am so sorry--they lost a helluva worker and I'm sure they are kickin' their behinds over it.  I wish you all the best though, you deserve it!  Please keep in touch--ya know how to reach me! 
 



Then retire.

They need to have Deb retire completely
and have no contact with anyone they put in her place. She hates the world and passes her personal dislikes and vendettas down to everyone else. She has no management skills, no people skills, and operates like she has a mixmaster in her hands at all times.
Well I'm not worried. I'm going to retire at 50
so only have 5 more years to go.  I can't see VR being a threat, at least not on my account.  I do all Ops, mostly ESL mumblers.  My hospitals are so particular about every little thing that they'd never accept the work that VR turns out.  IF It should go to VR in the next 5 years, someone still needs to proof it and by then my wrists will surely need a rest and I could do twice the lines a day that I could typing.  
Lucky you! Wish I could retire!

You know, it occurred for me to retire to one
of these off-shore places. Keep my dual citizenship. Live large on a tropical island, continue doing transcription and get the good work. Seriously. I'd make so much more over there for the cost of living and then, I could finally make ends meet...
What do you say, a bunch of us can infiltrate these places in the offices on the other islands, and then we'd have USA Transcriptionist as the offshore labor? No? Hmmm. Just a thought. LOL.
I am going to retire in four years
and go around the world. I have always wanted to take six months and go to every country I have wanted to see and so I will.
I'd go there, sue their dingies and retire.. NM

Maybe there's a "Home For Senior MT's" we can retire to! nm

Because I retire in 7 months - WHOPPEEE!
And, really, spewing venom everywhere?

To quote JPJ - I have not yet begun to spew.

Yoo hoo! Black Swan! I'm 60 yrs old. I just want to retire.
xx
Sigh. I had not planned to retire for
probably another 10-15 years, if my wrists hold out that long, and had fully intended/hoped to have MDI be my last MTSO.  I have waded through a lot of frogs before finding my proverbial prince in the MT world and had hoped to finish out my career here.  Now I'm just utterly disheartened by this recent turn of events.  I'm looking into finishing my degree (wanted to do that anyway) and seeing what my options are after that, may have to get out of the profession altogether.  It's depressing, as it's a job I love that keeps me challenged on a daily basis.  I just have no desire to start anew with another company.
Soooo nice. This is the place I will retire from. nm

Very true, really long weekends at times, but no real vacation in 7 years.I'll travel when retire

I do not see you on any horse either

You have a right to your opinion and I respect you for it.  You said what others want to say, but do not want to be criticized for saying.


This was from the horse's mouth.
Perhaps you need to get a new horse.

Remember the packet changes are effective January 1, not today.

It's unfortunate you aren't being paid for downtime. I was paid several times for 40 hours, when my hours fell short.

I see the packet as MQs move to finally consolidate EVERYONE onto the same plan of management so this ridiculous "but my office says and it's true" stuff can stop.
The horse's mouth would be
The Administrator can only go by what she is told by the company directly or an MT has to produce proof that they offshore before she prevents them from posting on this board.
High horse
You make some good points but the vast majority of MTs don't apply to your condescending e-mail.  Glad I don't work for you.  You find some poor employees in any industry, and the few bad apples in the MT business are not the reason work is being sent overseas where the work is even worse quality (but done with a smile - I give you that).  Whatever - I will just be glad when this post has moved on to another page. 
Come down off our high horse

I used to have excellent credit too until my husband lost his job and I had surgeries 9 months apart. There are circumstances that do cause people to lose their credit.


Maybe some bad luck should hit you and then you would understand how some of us feel!!!!


Come Down Off Your High Horse!!!

It sounds like you have spent too much time at the beach listening to the waves and in the sun as your brain is fried.  Who do you think you are talking to anyone this way??? 


I have a good job, make good money and I always have work but your attitude is just right down horrible.   


Since you don't spend much time here, I think you should just probably stay totally away if this is the kind of attitude you bring when you do decide to be here.


I don't see you on a high horse...sm
I agree with you 200%
Get off your high horse already

I have researched anything and everything I have ever delved into thoroughly before jumping on it.  If a newbie jumps right in without researching first, it is their own dang fault.  Geez. 


You are on a very high horse
Might want to come on down and sit in the horse stuff with the looser MTs....waaaah
from the horse's mouth
Per company e-mail from Transcend CEO, the merge is with Transcription Relief Services.
No? The horse is at the glue
nm
Well, come down off that high horse
you seem to be on. Where do you get that Now Let Me Tell You Something. First of all, who are you and what does it matter. You talk like that to your kids, not to another grown person. Sissy, go back to mothering now, ok? More experienced MTs know the 3 day leave for a funeral, newbies seem not to know.
Yup - horse i out of the barn, that's for sure.
,
that horse fromthe packet and
the Qnet rules. tellher to go lookit up.
Wow 8 years and already on a high horse? you
would be a good QA person one day, NOT
Can lead a horse to water....D&L

I can understand you're still working for D&L because I too have never been one to jump on the bandwagon.  It is my own mistake not to have abandoned ship on D&L back when all the signs were saying GET OUT NOW!!!  I remained loyal to this company and worked my butt off for them.


In the end, what did it get me and everyone who stuck around doing what they could?  Nothing except a string of financial crises, ignored calls & emails, empty promises as they dumped their financial dilemma on me and the rest of us.


D&L still owes me for work done from June-July.  They haven't yet paid their original set of MTs that worked the hospital account.  They lied to us for weeks and suddenly owned up to the situation with the Oh Well email filled with promises of making good on pay.


....We are told that the payment will be honored when represented our bank has delayed availability of those funds until Thursday 07/19/07. Once those funds are made available we will immediately issue checks to anyone effected by this situation. We apologize for this unfortunate event and will expedite payments once funds are made available......


Here it is September 9th already, still no check.


Sorry to say, but what makes you think they have any intention of making good on YOUR check(s)?


Seriously, it's in your own best interest to find other employment quickly and not waste another minute working for free or you too shall suffer a financial crisis that will take months to recover from.


Good luck in your job hunt.


To quote Donna directly......It is what it is


 


the horse has already left the barn nm

Watch that first step off the horse. NM

Oh, that's horse puckey. The reason they
offshore is because they want a higher profit margin. You think MTs should now work for minimum wage so the MTSOs can keep their earnings high? No way. The quality in India is AWFUL. You get what you pay for, and hopefully the resulting lawsuits by the patients will make it less cost-effective.
Beating a dead horse
Not sure about NOW but they used to hire a lot of people M-F who had to work only 1 weekend per month. I chose to work on a weekend day because of more money but a lot of people that were hired still work M-F and rotate weekends.
Dead horse is right, Sharon
These people do not want to listen to reason, do not want reassurance, and quite frankly do want to have to expend the brain cells to LEARN. They'd rather trash the company, VR programs and MTs like us who are successful at it and make good money at it. No point wasting your time or effort.

I say let 'em go...Sounds like TTs better off without them and I'd hate to think I have co-workers of this mentality.

Have a nice dinner out...One of the beauties of working for TT (even on VR, lol) is the extra money for the nicer things in life. At least when all of these posters bail we'll have even more work and even more money to enjoy the finer things in life!
Beating a dead horse here, but

If these companies came on here and started naming employees that were bad news, you all would be in a hurry to find a way to make it someone else's fault.


There must be grounds for the poster to be sued by TT or else a lawyer wouldn't have taken the case.  Who wins?  No one. 


The poster allegedly being sued came on here to gather up a herd of followers and then closed her thread.  I don't see her posting any longer, do YOU?  But, you are here to defend her?  For what reason?  It makes no sense to me.


Whoever this person being sued in my OPINION has screwed up this board for the last few days.  It is nothing but fighting and bashing!  That poster is gone with the wind now, probably never to return again and we're all at each other's throats.


Can we please quit beating this horse; it's dead; deader than a doornail!


 


Funny, been on my *high horse* for 20 years!

Just a matter of time before she will be off her high horse
Medware used to be a stable company. I wonder if their advertisement will now say Used to be AAMT company of the year - or Please sign up with us- we will help you be eligible for welfare - or better yet Happy MT week, your job has been phased out.
Gorgeous horse country right outside of Philly!
Google areas near New Bolton Medical Center in Pennsy. If country is up your alley, there are lots of great towns. If you like cities, then Philly is for you! Go EAGLES!!
Get off your high horse and go work your management job...sm
This is a board for opinions, isn't it?  So don't tell me to get my facts straight.
That is the biggest bunch of horse puckey ever.
I DESPISE Escription, I hate it, hate it, hate it and hate VR no matter what the so-called better platform.  It does NOT take me half the time to do a report.  If I can type 250 lph I can edit 350 lph AT BEST.  I DESPISE Escription and all that is associated with it.  Oh and yes, I WOULD LOVE to go back to the old way.  And there are plenty of MTs, we all know that--it's just that the work is going elsewhere to uncivilized third-world countries and the patients have no clue their records are being so jeopardized. 
Will you kids quit beating that horse???? nm
   
I give up, it's you beating the dead horse......nm

Cannot answer TTS posting below- beating dead horse

Very strange, never saw where you could not reply to a posting, but the ones below to TTS are just like that. First of all, baloney to all- TTS is a great place to work, been there several years now, they do not bother you and how, pray tell, think about it, can you possible work at your own home and have someone miles away KNOWING when you take a bathroom break, get a glass of water - that is unless you had been gone for a longgggggggg time. Who is trying to post and pull someone's leg? I think the board has been hijacked.


Alright, no sense in beating a dead horse so
know what I am able to do and sorry you all are faced with something apparently lots are resistant to. I am leaving for the evening to have a nice dinner out.
Oh dear goddess, climb off of your high horse...
I've been doing this 20 years, half of that from home. If YOU don't feel the need to be appreciated ONCE A YEAR, then you're name says it all, ma'am....

You HAVE been an MT far TOO LONG.

*Laughing at your post and superiority complex*
The automobile put the horse and buggy drivers out of work...
that doesn't mean the car was a bad thing! EMR technology WORKS efficiently (I am speaking now of direct input by the provider, not VR or offshoring...those still suck) and it puts the accountability for accuracy where it belongs, with the servicing provider. It is in fact the wave of the future and we may as well just face that and plan accordingly.

I hope to eke a living out of this until retirement (just another decade or so away). I would not advise any young person to get into it actual transcription now, though, just from reading the handwriting on the wall. If I were looking to get into the field now I would aim for the programming, sales, or management end of the biz.
You sound like an ex-friend I used to have that was on a high horse all the time. BOY am I glad I
She was always so quick to point out everyone's faults, preaching about what you SHOULD be doing, while at the same time, doing everything wrong herself.   I believe that is why she has no friends.  People don't like to be around that.
Get off your high horse for crying out loud. She did not mention that it was a transcription company
