Absolutely, because if they are caught twice, they've probably done it

    I see you are caught in

    already.


    In some offices you continually run out of work - and MQ gives you


    no policy in writing as to what your rights are or what they will


    provide in the way of "buffer".  All they do is say "we can give you more


    accounts".


    Well, sitting in front of a computer 24 hours a day and still not finding


    enough work on dozens of accounts is not being a good business


    person.


    Having an account or else built in protection for times when there is no work


    is BEING A GOOD BUSINESS PERSON.


    Even if you are an employee, and there is no work, suddenly you find you


    are RESPONSIBLE for the huge medical insurance bill - for several pay periods "because you didn't meet your line requirement"


    I'm telling you, this company needs to either standardize it's politicies and


    be up front with what they do, or forever go through the system as being


    utterly slippery and underhanded, and deserve the reputation they so


    deservedly have right now.  Of course they have their own agenda and could


    care less about posters like me who have been through the drill until I was ground


    down into the ground and broke, because they are "using" MTs to position themselves into the world of VR.  And it will have been done on the backs


    of many MTs who lost it all thinking at some point MQ would finally "do right"


    They haven't and probably will never.


    So my advice is, if you can't get some policies in writing from whereever possible


    (New Jersey just flips you off, so don't waste your time there), don't invest too


    much in this company as you will be at their mercy and feel like you are never on solid ground financially.  It is not a company to work for if you need the


    money for a living.  It is merely to pick up pocket change.



    What caught my eye was sm
    "it's a teaching hospital". Been there, done that. Get ready for ESLs that change every year. You might like it, but you'll earn every cent. On the plus side, you'll learn so much more than with a nonteaching hospital, which is good. Let us know what you decide.
    AVG has caught several
    viruses. I also run online scans on sites like Trend Micro, Panda, etc., on occasion just to double-check the effectiveness of AVG & make sure it hasn't missed anything. I've been using AVG free for about 10 years I guess and, like I said, AVG has caught several viruses and I've never once had a crash or lost anything in all these years due to viruses, and I've turned all my friends and family onto AVG free & they've never had any issues with viruses, so I have to say that I'm extremely happy with it, especially considering it's free... Doesn't get any better than that! ;)
    Maybe I caught him at a bad time or maybe he is
    going through some personal problems in his life that he is carrying over into the workplace.  In any event, I could not foresee a good working relationship with this individual in the future.
    You are offshore and got caught.

    Missed most of it but what I caught was fun!!
    t
    My son is only 7, so he hasn't caught on yet
    that I'm not talking to him. He still says "what" all the time...lol. So, I'll look at him and say, "do you know what flagginationalization means?" Cracks him up every time.
    caught off gaurd

    I started with a new company about 40 days ago - I trained on one account for about three days and the was given two docs to do with really no training only a manual.   I have been doing them for about 35 days.  My first QA score about ten days or so after the start of these docs was 96%,  my second on 5/20 was 98%.  I really have not gotten any negative feed back other than some format issues which were worked out quickly.  I have been meeting my TAT, proofing and covering what they asked.  There has not been any complaint that has been brought to my attention that I can pinpiont.  This past weekend, I got sent a whole bunch of work to help cover someone on vacation, my work was pushed back by my QA and supervisor.   Needless to say my accounts were not very happy and were not told in advance.  This evening I get a call from the supervisor saying that due to a call from the docs office about poor TAT and quality she was removing me from the account.  I have an email this same supervisor sent me from the docs office dated June 5 saying the account was finally looking up.   I asked the supervisor to pinpoint the issues but she was not able to at this time and told me to hold tight until she gets some more info.   I don't know what to think. Any opinions or suggestions???


     


     


    Okay, I'm caught up to the posts below
    .
    I have no idea about his being caught but
    working from home I kept my eye peeled for the report and checked every so often. You know the time frame as far as dictating- what 24 hours? This was 8 months later. If he did to me, well you know the rest. Like I said, he personally called me from another sister hospital 2 times and very incensed that I would even approach mediation at the hospital. Of course when I took my story there along with the documentation, he refused to comment on it, denying all. I at that time could not afford to lose my job so I could not press on with it. Called several attorneys and each one said no one would be on my side being as this was an elective procedure I chose and a face lift at the same time so dead end for me.
    I don't think everything is caught - like the job resumes
    with addresses like Mumbai, Hawaii.  Could it be a name, not a place?
    Sweet. Someone caught it ;-)
    All is write with the world now.

    Seriously, though, can we let the poor woman vent without picking on her grammar?
    Thank goodness you caught it and not QA
     thanks for the chuckle
    LOL.... caught me off guard...
    nm
    I hope she's caught too...
    I'm also 40-50 miles from this woman. I hope she's caught and put away for this. Thanks so much for warning us that this is going on.
    It just caught me off guard. I really wasn't trying to
    criticize. Sorry!
    I only caught bits and pieces of it, but sm

    I didn't see anything offensive that should generate such a stink.  My BIGGEST gripe is with people who come out hating something, expressing an opinion about something they have never even SEEN!


    The little bit I saw, it looked like a man dealing with "normal" family situations -- let's face it, it is not unusual nowadays to have a gay son, or become addicted to prescription meds, etc. -- ministers are not immune.   I am a Christian and love the Lord, and I was not offended by anything on the show.  And even if I was, it is not my place to tell others what they can and cannot watch.  We all get to "vote" with the flick of a channel.


    Thanks, will do. About 3 nights ago my Norton caught
    Did you notice the Feb 3 date?  That would be this coming Friday.  Wonder how our various transcription companies are going to fare?  ugh.  I hope they don't crash. 
    My husband caught a doctor...sm

    actually dictating in a hospital and heard him say at the end to scratch all that and started over! He felt so bad for the poor MT who would be doing him. He also was an extremely slow dictator, so it probably took her forever! He's also heard some fast dictators and would let them know after they finished that someone has to actually transcribe that. Go hubby!


    Like a good MT, I caught MY mistake and

    She took the safe way out. Rocky was fake and got caught
    while the average joe is head over heels for this girl.  Could go either way, he might enlighten her in that a good guy doesn't have to be a total hunk.  Then again, she may be so shallow not to see that.  I think her mom did make an impression on her decision though.
    hahaha! I've been caught red handed!! lol

    Caught a bit of it on Fox ticker but no live coverage..
    yet.   Where do you live?  How horrible for you and all the kids to have to go through a nightmare like this :(  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
    Food/medicine caught in throat
    This very thing happened to me while eating pizza one day - I ended up in the ER because I could not get it out or to go down.  The ER doc ordered a chest x-ray (do not know why) and then sent me home with some Prilosec saying that I had esophagitis.  It was a rainy day - two dogs chased my car home and I was afraid to get out - plus I had my sister's four children that week, besides my own two.  I took a Prilosec and then had to have my husband rush to the pharmacy for some Benadryl - I was allergic to the dye - then, and I don't recommend this, I got a long-handled teaspoon - bent it and stuck it down my throat - retrieving the pizza dough.  I still had esophagitis because my throat was now inflamed from the pizza and the spoon handle - I put the chewed up dough in a ziploc and returned it to the ER for an explanation - of course they thought I was crazy - but you do what you have to do.  I have found that many doctors are either incompetent or on drugs (cocaine, meth, and others that they either sniff or smoke).  That is why there is such a high malpractice rate (but that's another story).  In fact, I see a doctor now who is a drug-abuser - but he prescribes what me or my family needs when we go to see him and we get well - but boy is he high - nice, though.  That's my take on the ibuprofen in your throat.
    Thanks, MOMT. I have been known to sometimes get caught up trying to make my point, but... SM
    I didn't think I was being rude.  Thanks again, I was starting to take it a little personal, but some people are just sensitive, I guess.
    There is a $150 fine if caught working at home-sm
    w/o business license. From 2002-2005 the fee was $50. Then city changed it and now have to take copy of tax return to City Hall and the fee is based on previous year's income. Woman in my Chamber of Commerce group was turned into the city by a rival and was fined.

    Same here. Do a load a day. Wash in the morning. Dry it after dinner. Always caught

    LOL! Hush woman, I caught myself typing "the incision was thoroughly irrigated with normal swelli

    Same thing with nationals. You work all the time to keep the account caught up when others dont work
    and then when they decide to put a whole lot of extra people on your accounts and run you out they could care less about how much you worked.
    Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't

    I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.


    Clinton is intelligent??? If he was intelligent he wouldn't have gotten caught!
    eeeeeeeeew
    you are absolutely right and I know because I know
    which is just as good as knowing any other way.

    a policy of kindness is the only *way* to go....

    Stay at the Polynesian - it's right on the Disney Property and it is OH SO LUXURIOUS! Very reasonably priced, too for what you get. They have a great luau (sp?), and you can walk out your hotel room and hop on the tram straight into the park.

    Speaking of parks, you MUST to go Epcot and bring lotsa de casha for the country of Germany - they have colored crystal that will knock your socks off and your pocketbook clear out of your purse.

    IT IS TO DIE FOR! THE POLYNESIAN AND EPCOT!


    Absolutely
    ...the immature vitriolic attitude some people on this board have. If it bothers you so much to see what may seem to you a no-brainer question posted, please feel free to move on, sparing us your crappy, holier-than-thou attitude. I'm absolutely ashamed to have people like you part of my MT community.
    ABSOLUTELY!!!
    MQ has hurt too many people and their families. I don't even work for them, but the hospital that I work for bought their DQS program, which is wonderful, but it also included the DocQmanage program which CHEATS TRANSCRIPTIONISTS!
    ABSOLUTELY!!!

    I agree with you! However, I do not consider people taking necessities to survive "looters." HUGE difference with someone taking shoes, jewelry, TVs, and nonessential items. These are 2 different classes totally. People trying to survive should not even be compared to a looter. I was all for shooting any and all looters that were caught in the act!

    MQLOVER would get upset. Yeah you sure did dig yourself into a big one. Just keep on going and may be you can find some more people to hire in China when you get there.
