Thank you very much. This is a prime example .....sm
of how one must take all comments into consideration when searching for information on this board. I had a feeling that those posters may have been referring to another company with the same name and decided to wait and see if someone else would post.
Thanks
Kitty, let me use HappyMTRobin as a prime example....
We're not all nasty and bordering on psychotic, such as the woman who forwarded your emails to the recruiter (sounds like somebody thrives on drama to stoop that low!).
I'm going to use HappyMTRobin as my example of what most posters are like on this board. HappyMTRobin posts here very frequently. Her posts are kind, thoughtful and considerate. She's one of the first ones to respond if a fellow MT has a problem with something in which she has knowledge. If I thought she could enlighten me in an area, I'd email her in a heartbeat because of her helpful, considerate nature. No, I don't know her in real life, but her posts speak volume for her character.
I think most of us on MTStars are like Robin, NOT like the psychos or shrews you've encountered. The posts from those types of people simply overshadow the kind and helpful posts because they're intended to be hurtful and stand out from the other posts.
I personally am tired of reading the lame excuses made for these types of posters (i.e., not happy with their job, can't find a job, under stress because of the economy). I believe you're either a happy, caring person by nature or you're not, and no happy or caring person would post the hateful things I've encountered on here. I choose to ignore them and not engage the obviously miserable individual involved, as I've found the helpful people really do far outnumber the wackos.
I hope you do hang around, Kitty. This is what this board needs, more people genuinely interested in helping one another to counteract the negativity that is sometimes rampant on these boards.
and I have prime land in the everglades for sale.

You are a prime example of people spewing hostility....
Yeah, precisely THIS type of post, clear out of left field with no provocation. There was NOTHING hateful about HER post. She was expressing her opinion. You're aware of what an opinion is, right? Then you get your panties all in a bunch, push up your sleeves, and decide to set HER straight. Something tells me you spend LOTS of time at your computer, and not just for work purposes, lol!
Geez, talk about ironic...But thanks for illustrating her point perfectly, hahahahaha.
Not offended
Just do not know what original post was in regards to.
you should be offended
Just because your white ancestors had a heart does not negate or excuse what has happened to your native ancestors. Do you speak for all native persons? Do you have to be a native person in order for that remark is offensive to you?
Indian giver (or Indian gift) is a North American English expression used to describe a person who gives something and later wants it back, or something equivalent in return.
The term Indian gift was first referenced in 1765 by Thomas Hutchinson,[1] and Indian giver was first cited in John Russell Bartlett's Dictionary of Americanisms (1860)[2] as Indian giver. When an Indian gives any thing, he expects to receive an equivalent, or to have his gift returned.
The phrase is considered a racial stereotype and is often offensive, as it implies that Native Americans commonly practiced this behavior.
I would have been very offended if I had been
asked if I NEEDED 3 days as well. It's almost as if they are asking if it's really that bad and are you sure you can't come back sooner!! I have never worked for a company that treated their employees like that. In the past when we've had deaths in the family (brother-in-law and both sets of parents)I was always told to take as much time as I needed and not to worry about a thing. Hubby on the other hand had to bring the little folder they print out and give to everyone at the funeral even for his OWN parent's funerals to prove he had been there all because some people in his company had taken time off supposedly for bereavement and didn't have anyone die.
I was not offended by the comment
I have a child who stutters, and I know the problems faced with that difficulty. For her it hasn't been a disability so much  I have had stuttering dictators. Some were great - one I had on a clinic I LOVED b/c he took his time and didn't get rushed. However, I have one on my account now who slurs, whispers, never corrects and is nearly impossible to understand. I know there are issues w/ stuttering and I admire those who have overcome them to become doctors. However, I don't think that gives them any more leeway to be bad dictators than those who don't stutter. As far as being offended, I wasn't - i totally understand the frustration!
I'm more offended by the typos in the ad. nm
No Im not offended at all. Just dont want to start a war

I wasn't offended, please do not feel bad. sm
I rarely post here because of the nay-sayers and bashers and get a little defensive when I think someone is about to react that way.
If I were you, I would go to the lead directly and ask if you can either go to another ER account or work with you on this. Not every account is for every MT and vice versa. There is a perfect fit for everyone, and Keystrokes works with everyone to find it. Also, I heard there is another ER account about to start, might get your name on their list if you want!
I was not offended or feeling superior.
you meant by your question? Did you mean that you did not know what MTIA was and were asking if DSG made up an organization or if you meant that DSG was pretending to be a member of MTIA and intentionally misdirected people to a different website? Or did you mean something else entirely? Without knowing what you meant by the use of is it a scam, it was difficult to formulate an appropriate response. I am sorry if my reply made you feel inferior. That was not at all my intent, I was simply asking for clarification so as to better address the inquiry.
It is far more likely that whoever designed the website used MTIA.org instead of MTIA.com when creating the link, which I am sure you could have figured out for yourself.
Now I'm offended at your post, where you imply that
a neurosurgeon. Shame on you!! Janitor is derogatory - custodian is respectful and also the politically-correct term these days!
I'm offended by the Rude TUDE
of the individual posting it. Just doesn't sound like a professional first class operation. Sounds low class, cuthroat and sends out red flags. Danger Will Robinson! Payment might be an issue.
I'm sure Anne, Sue and Mary are very offended by your comments...NOT!

I am offended by your "nonsense about no work" comment.
I have been with MDI for many years and very much like this company, but the workload on my accounts has been very slow for several months now, and I have multiple accounts. I have not had a full paycheck for months and I work all hours of the day and night, so it is certainly not no work nonsense for me. I am hanging in there because I really like this company, and the workload will surely pick up again after the summer vacations, at least I sure hope so. I can't ever remember such a slow summer, and I am not sure if there is a lack of work or too many people trying to cover it, but there has definitely been a work shortage for quite awhile. This may not be true for all the accounts, may only be on certain accounts, I do not know, I just know that has been my experience, as well as some other MTs I am in contact with. So to when we're out here struggling, for you to say it is nonsense and you smell a troll, especially being fairly new to the company, is really lousy, IMO.
Not being in the 'inner elite circle' I used to be offended
because they were always posting about so-and-so making a kazillion lines and how happy and wonderful for them, and on and on - yeah right, while I would be sitting there struggling with the really bad dictators, losing hundreds of dollars a month doing VR - not even able to make my minimum.
People should not be forced to be social on the job. If you had a private site somewhere for those who do then you would not be offending anyone. Then you could all go warm and fuzzy over each other.
This business is cut-throat in reality, and it seems to me there are always a certain group of MTs who get all the good meaty work, but you always have the people to clean up the garbage.
Not nice to have it thrown in your face.
And she actually seemed offended when I politely declined...geeeesh! nm

Praying most certainly DOES put food on the table! I am extremely offended by your post.

The people at CardioScribes called us transcribers. I wasn't offended, sm
but I always thought a transcriber was the piece of equipment on my desk. The other poster is right, though -- better than typist .. UGH.
