The moderators have already requested that you stop with the grammar police stuff.

In Reply to: YOU call us ANIMALS because we pay attention to correct grammar and spelling? - what?

This is not the forum for you to try to be queen of QA.  I am not insecure about my grammar skills, but I certainly am not going to get all in a tizzy if I make a mistake while posting on a message board, nor will I get all bent out of shape if I see an error in someone else's post.  This forum is here to network with each other about various companies, hence the name COMPANY board and not GRAMMAR board.

Please do not grammar police here...

Many MTs come to this site to relax and may not have the time or desire to proofread their messages.

GRAMMAR POLICE - sm

Having nothing meaningful to contribute, these immature holier-than-thou self-proclaimied experts need to vent their insecurities by finding fault with something as insignificant as spelling/grammar.  Reminds me a lot of a large percentage of QAs -- need to nitpick on something trivial, real or imagined.


I would just tell them to kiss my butt, unless they are also paying my salary - otherwise they should MTOB.

BTW, grammar police are not allowed.
Go back to your corner now.
No grammar and spelling/capitalization police please, nm

Ignore the grammar and spelling police
on this board and in private email, and they will go away.
oops half of them (my own grammar police)
nm
Oops. Meant to say grammar police.
Doesn't anyone ever know how to spell anymore? LOLOL. Sorry just had to get your gote. um er goat.
Oops. I meant "hear of" Sorry grammar police!

The moderators said stop correcting people's posts - not questioning medical reports -
The OP was talking about in actual medical reports, not on these posts - or at least that is the way I took it.

I too am concerned about the way medical reports are looking and being put on charts. It is ridiculous and dangerous!!!
Excuse me for typing "have went". I was in a hurry and did not know grammar police would be p

Advise is in SpellCheck. So maybe you should have suggested Proofing Ms Grammar Police.

To the SpellCheck Queen and Grammar Police...Sorry for the errors. I sent it before proofing.
I know it's a MT no-no.
Star Stop works better than express scribe. If you want start Stop, yea it is kind of sm
expensive. I wish they did pay their QA hourly as I think they would see better quality work, but they per line and it is higher than the other person posted.

I have never had a problem with management, so I am unfamiliar with what the other person experienced with management.

Pay is always on time (most of the time early). I like the software. I guess you just have to see if it fits for you.
Stop taking these insulting wages and they will stop offering them.

has anyone requested the test from DocuMed...(sm)
and actually received it?
Nothing special about it. I'm an IC, and those were my requested days
x
They only requested that I pick the days

I would work and that they include 1 weekend day, which seems fair to me.  We fill out monthly calendars, letting them know if we cannot work a day (be it a weekday or weekend).  I have never been told I could not have a day off.  We do not have to give the hours we will work, only the amount of lines we will put in per day.


I have absolutely no problem with any of that.  Having worked for MQ in the past, where we were chastised for clocking in 15 minutes late or our keyboards were monitored for inactivity, MDI has been a breath of fresh air. 


If I were an employee, I would certainly be upset if I had to log in and had no work and then would have to keep checking back throughout my shift for work, only to have to make up the entire shift later on.  That seems very unfair to me. 


If I run out of work at MDI, I email my liason and let them know that I'm out and I'll make it up another day if there's work.  If there is not enough work later in the week, then I don't make it up.  I can't help it if there's no work.  I'm flexible, but I don't live to work.  I'm also fortunate to have another income. 


Sorry to hear of your situation.  Didn't mean to be so nosy.  Your post didn't say either way that you worked at MDI, but I just assumed so -- you know what that makes me!


How do we fill out the forms requested via email when we don't

have printers suppled by TT with their computers.  Help, pls


The poster requested some information to back up the allegations - sm
I am very interested and would like to see some recorded history myself. 
No. Only the Administrator and moderators. NM

Moderators, please explain
Why do you keep deleting posts from MTs who are trying to help other MTs by letting them know what companies may actually be worth working for? The board mentions a lot of negativity about a lot of companies--I'm sure we don't mind seeing a couple good ones every now and then. Wussup!?

Moderators or programmers
Something is wrong with the reply box. Could som someone please check it it? The Breaking News
box overlaps and screws up the typed reply, as in mine above. Thanks.
Attention Moderators: Still Having Problems
Still having problems with the search box. When I type something in the search box (even something that I can see within the first 5 threads of the page I'm on), I get a COMPLETELY BLANK PAGE with no search results. Is there something wrong with the search engine???? Thanks!
Wow now we have MTSO moderators handing out advice
get outta here!
Are moderators on this board various different company officials?
?
People have asked moderators for VR board, not just this
particular company.
really nasty comments are deleted by the moderators..
and sometimes they are even checked before they make it to the board and deleted.
Guess the moderators didn't like it for some reason.
And only the original poster would have gotten the e-mail stating that their post had been removed.

I had a post flushed once. I wasn't happy about it. But it's their board, their rules, their say-so.
Provide it to the moderators along with TB's phone number to call. :)

Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
I am not the MT police, but sometimes I wish
cute one!
the what police? lol

... and the puncuation police are after you!! nm

POLICE REPORT
Start requesting police reports of this incident...you might need it down the road.
I don't like spelling police either, but...
she did not use they're correctly: P.S. They don't even advertise anymore on here because of they're reputation.

Should be 'their' reputation...


Spelling police is not necessary here.
/
No spelling police please
on these boards
Are you the board police?
x
we don't do spelling police here. NM
.
Police state
Yes, but I'd be much more worried that your government now has all of under just about 24 hour surveillance. THAT's a police state...


That would be grandma police.
x
are you the spelling police?
so sorry I thought the spelling police were banned from here, guess I was wrong. But I am glad to know you don't ever add an extra letter in a word. Oh I wish I could be perfect.
What are you, the question police?
People should be able to ask a question at the present time and get answers and not have other people running around the board saying, Google it, or Search the board.

You know, that is really not helpful and quite rude. Everyone already knows that, so if you can't answer the question, why don't you keep your advice (that everyone already knows) to yourself? Okay?

So tired of this attitude.
Well thank you, company board police!

before posting anything to this forum in the future. 



let moderator know; they will ban the spelling police
nm
Why do people think they have to be the QA police here. I am so tired of
people voicing their opinions, only to have it pointed out they didn't spell something correctly, or used the wrong word, or made a typo. We put up with this day in and day out in our jobs, trying to make sure everything is correct. Do we really have to do it here too? Frankly, I'm sick of it.
Sorry the police "busted" you, but thank you for the info. (sm)
Why do people feel compelled to correct our grammer when we are just relaxing and sharing info here? We are not really trying to put out a perfect polished product.

How rude, excuse me, Ain't that rude?

Thank you again for answering so many of my questions.
I have called the police department already..sm
I am not playing.  They faxed me the paperwork and I am giving her until Friday for a cashier's check OR money order is in my hands, she is in trouble!  LIES LIES LIES that is all she has done.
spelling police not necessary. OP obviously upset..
she does not need her spelling errors shoved at her as being *cheered up.*
not trying to cheer her, just everyone.Joke police,tsk
