Funny yet true...
My boss is like, if you took Willie Wonka, and mixed him with Hitler. He's got like, he's crazy like Willie Wonka and he's psycho like Hitler. But he doesn't have a mustache.
NO, it's not funny, but oh so TRUE!
getting harder and harder to make a living, or even a somewhat living. You MT's who are married better stay married -- unless you would get a big child support check, because there is no way a single person can make a decent living with our fingers doing this anymore -- without having 2 or 3 jobs at the same time.
My lines continue to dwindle on Dictaphone ExText - why I can't understand. Not because I am not striking that keyboard constantly. I know part of the reason is that the decent dictators are either going to ASR/VR OR to the leads to make their lines the easy way, leaving the really yukky dictators to us MT's known as numbers only.
Loved it! So, so funny because it is true!

Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
Not necessarily true. That is not a true test of skill.
Do you know how many people get others to take tests for them? It happens and it happens more often than you might think. The only skill that shows anyway is that you can do it.
We are actually more than a transcriptionist. We are specialists in our field and we are supposed to know some things regarding anatomy and physiology as a working base. That's how we can judge if a physician dictates something in accurately and many do because they can't pronounce or just are not thinking. That's why our skills of basic knowledge come into play and that means basic knowledge of body parts. If our job was just to sit there and type without thinking about what we are transcribing, then all patients are in trouble and this is just based on what I see as a QA person.
It's more than just knowing how to transcribe and some of the companies have discovered how to know what your basic knowledge is based on what you have picked up with your experience by utilizing your references etc. Hopefully that utilization of your references has taught you something that does stick in your head.
Beliefs like yours are just so far off base. You have to know what you are doing. It's not just about being able to listen and type. Base knowledge is a very important thing and the services have to find a way to know that knowledge base that is there in your head.
This may be true... and that is philisophically true, but
and pay bills while being screwed? This is what I think the OP is scared of... I certainly agree and honestly think it is unfair to put people in this precarious position... on one hand be grateful you still have your job, or a job, and on the other, immediately there will possibly be a cut in pay, for which you may have to give up your home, or medicine or reduce your budget for food. I don't know if I am the only one, but I think the OP still has a good head on her shoulders and that may be the problem...at least for employers out there who are switching to VR.. and their employees
That is really funny
The majority cannot be wrong. Your first post brought on the reactions of many, all saying the same thing. Your first post was rude. It just was. It sounded hateful. No way that 5 different people read it wrong. Funny how you descend upon the poor OP and basically rip her apart and then call the rest of us vultures. So funny. You are not one to be preaching about attitudes and how we should watch them. Talk to the woman in the mirror first.
OMG HOW FUNNY!!!
NM
it's funny that
the packet states no one will get a pay cut but they gave out pay cuts before people trained on DEP as DEP has only a certain pay level, so they were told. I guess this means no pay cuts with this packet. Pretty smarmy, huh??
too funny
nm
I think it is funny that you all
want to say that JACKO and the others you mentioned are the only rudes ones on this board. Look over the posts. Pretty much everyone here is rude. I've never seen anything like it.
that is funny....unfortunately if they were not that way, I don't many of us would have a job-LOL

Too funny. He gets around. nm

Funny
Please, why is it that if someone has been treated badly and there are issues that that person tries to convey to another for their own warning, why is that a grudge? You watch too much TV!
Too funny.
I have two dried up accounts as well. Yet they are still hiring. Go figure.
lol, and for 8 cpl! Now, that's funny.

Funny
Oh what like I'm scared? Yes M.E. are my initials, you better believe it. Saying liar is not slanderous. Especially since this board makes disclaimers. Funny.
How funny!!!
Was it a lady by the name of Phyllis Tate who contacted you? She is always going on cruises. I turned down that company one week after I started working there. That place is so darn screwed up. Do not consider taking a job whatsoever!!!
THAT WAS FUNNY!
So funny!!  Yes, we know how to focus and concentrate and we know how to DROWN out nonessentials of background noise. 
Funny....
I sent a resume to them and one of the questions was how much ESL do I do. I told them over 50% and that was why I was leaving my current job. They emailed me back and said based on my ESL answer, I was not a suitable candidate for their company.
lol that was funny

Mac, you are 2 funny. nm

That's funny...
I don't care who you are!
funny
 And I like your name - Mari Wisely Cute !
LOL! That's funny...nm
This has never happened to me, not once. I have taken many tests and aced them and my email inbox was filled with email offers. I have 20 years experience and told them up front what I made/wanted. I think some MTs just can't face the fact that they failed the test.
TOO FUNNY
Oh, please stop with all the nonsense!! Why do you feel compelled to give out these TIPS? So, nonqualified people can give a false, yet professional-appearing resume and then you can test them and waste your time? Are you crazy? At least you can quickly eliminate those - what does it take 1.5 seconds to look and throw out? Is this your biggest job complaint? Why don't you quit complaining about your job - do you really expect to get all perfect resumes!! Hello - anyone home in there?? I thought evaluating a resume was part of a recruiters job - respond to good ones and don't to the bad ones...you act like you want these folks working at Super Wal-Mart to present a nice resume -Now, why would you desire that?
These jobs are posted on the INTERNET - expect some crazy people !!
P.S. I've had to deal w/a lot of recruiters who need some serious help, but I don't feel compelled to give out any suggestions - they would not listen anyway. Its simple when the company/recruiter is ever rude, unprofessional, unorganized, giving false info - I move on. You get a joke of a resume - move on!!
TOO FUNNY !
SAme thing happened to me ! After I resigned from Focus, It took them a good two weeks afterward to acknowledge my notice of resignation. They are sooooo ignorant and unprofessional !
How funny..
I was paid late. Supposed to have been paid Friday and still waiting.
MOST of the time DD works better than waiting for checks to arrive.
Thats is too funny
Sounds like sour grapes to me.
TOO FUNNY!!!!
Can tell its getting late - but Im right there with ya with the Dippity DOO
Now thats funny:)
Damn if you do and damn if you don't. Post something positive and people try to turn it into a negative. LOL>>>
That's really funny!
So, if something gets rave reviews, it can't possibly be any good? Thanks for giving me a chuckle.
As for me, I personally have experience with both companies, and you couldn't drag me back to MQ if you hitched me to a semi!
Very funny
Not ! You're an idiot. I've seen your name just me with your boasting about another company that is soooo crooked beyond belief!!!! Getting jealous because KS is getting more positive attention are we?
that's funny
because I have worked for Priority Transcription for over 5 years and NEVER had a problem getting paid. I have even received bonuses for meeting TAT! Maybe there was a reason you didn't get paid!!!
Funny how OSI is in bad need of MTs
so one person gets on here with all this crazy talk about how great they are. Anyone who has worked for this company knows what a nasty little place it is. Trust me, OSI has lost all the good ones. The only people there are ones the other companies will not talk to. Just makes ya go hmmmmmm!
That is funny since she is gone and you are not. Be the
s
Funny you should say that (sm)
I have made up my mind to stay off message boards and focus, and I have, but not completely. Still visit occasionally. I had increased production, though. Hmmm. I really was trying to type faster though, so that's probably it.
LOL! Me too. I don't know if that is funny or
xx
Funny....sm
I think Medquist has so much work because most MTs left and went to Transtech and now TransTech hasn't enough work! I know of a few MQ MTs who went to TT... coincidence? The workloads haven't changed, only the MT load.
Wish it wasn't so and sincerely hope TT gets back on even ground, they seem like such a nice company. On the other hand, MQ is getting what they ordered IMHO.
Now THAT is funny!
Funny you should ask...
I don't do anything other than MT from home, but I just saw something on TV last night where a lady has made her own business called The Handwork Studio teaching children how to knit. It looked to me like she sat about 6 children around a table and was teaching them how to knit. I thought what a wonderful idea. So many are looking for things like this for their children for the social interaction. The lady said she is having the time of her life. Do you have a hobby that you could share in regards to teaching a class? Made me wonder....
That's funny! You know something....
I am not the only person who uses *hmmmm.....* as a username here  .
How FUNNY.
Funny,
that is exactly what came to my mind when I heard it, LOL. Now I do not feel so dumb thinking it was funny, thank you. 
lol, you so funny :)

I think it's funny!
And talk about a stress-buster!
oh so funny
I wish you people would learn how to think beyond your own pocketbooks and your little self-involved worlds. Petty petty petty bickering is all I ever see on these boards.
Funny :) I appreciate what you said. sm
I just don't know how much I should rock the boat. Like you, I really like this company. I guess it's just easy to get nervous in these tough economic times, especially in this industry. Have a good day.
You so funny!!!!
nm
How funny
How funny is that, maybe the word is getting out there to people. I wish I had found this site before I got sucked in. I trusted the school that sent me to them. Not now. lesson learned.
I got the funny one too.
It was from ILHIMA and had a ***.cox.net email address.
And it is funny.
