    Uh, no.... evil is evil. Who's version of the truth are you talking about?
    yours, mine, hers, theirs, WHO????
    U R confusing official definition of professional with "popular" definition...sm

    the official definition is those jobs like physicians, PA's, NP's, law, etc. Not something you do for a long time or what your job is. The popular definition for profession is what you do. Same thing with vocation, a official definition would hold to calling, such as clergy or nuns or missionaries... popular would say what's your job. So depends if you are looking for the popular definitions vs. the official definitions, though I will say some very ignorant people posting on the topic...


    That is exactly what I meant. Evil for the sake of evil, not for the sake of satan
    who is the essence of evil in Christianity. Call evil what you want it exists in every nation and every culture.

    Having said that, did not the terrorists call America the Great Satan after their attack on 9/11?
    I was going to say unless you were the original 3 brave souls named on the original suit.
    I still had heard lately that no one else, not one person, had been allowed to join in, so you must be in a separate class??
    Given her previous behavior
    she would probably accuse you of molesting her if you did try to hug her.
    Unfortunately rude behavior
    is becoming the norm - in many parts of the country. That doesn't mean it has to be tolerated, however.

    Curious: Did you ask her 'what makes you think it's appropriate for you to attack me, when you clearly have not followed instructions?'




    Very strange behavior...
    Were cherrypicking work, or calling in sick...or anything else going on?  I ask because that's just crazy for a high quality producer to be treated that way.
    Paula's behavior gets stranger . . .
    every week. I think she has serious problems. She can hardly get out a coherent sentence anymore.
    That explains ALL your childish behavior.

    MT Company behavior Poll

    This is because this MT is curious, you don't have to mention names of where you work, just curious:


    1.  Has anyone here ever had problems contacting the company they work for as an employee with noncommunication from supervisor frequently? 


    2. Regarding scheduling and work times, do you find that you run out of work when you were given the impression when hired there was tons and tons of work; then none for weeks during your shift?


    3.  Have many of you out there MT or QA ever been terminated without notice, and or by e mail after a lot of noncommunication?


    You can answer any or all of these questions.  Trying to get a sense of the trends out there right now, and wondering if it is best to become an independent contractor, because at least you have a contract, and or the ability to get a schedule you set so you can have a number of clients and you can have more control over work.  Also, reliability of companies regarding sudden lay offs and no notice terminations seem to be happening lately, so trying to get a sense of that too.


    Thanks in advance for your comments.


     


     


    I agree. Take none of this. Let their behavior be known and even if necessary call the local News
    many TV stations have to help. There was a service in our city who never paid her people and the local news On Your Side was contacted and not only was she on the news for not paying but she was also picked up by the police. There is usually at TV station in every major area (even if they are not in a major area, will go to the local surrounding areas) to help folks with problems such as this. Take it to whoever you can. People like this do not respect you.

    I never understood why people continue to work for people that are even one day late. Pay should be on time. If it isn't, the MTSO would never get an ounce more of work out of me and believe me he/she WOULD pay me! I am not one to let it go. I too have worked in the legal field and I do know how to proceed.

    Just don't give them one more day of your time.
    Sounds like a textbook case of passive aggressive behavior.

    Evil Co-Worker
    Anyone else have an evil co-worker or two?  I work at home but there's always one that still manages to find me.  I would ilke to slap this current one if I could reach her through my computer.  She thinks she's my supervisor.  I try to be respectful and polite, but that's not working.  All my other co-workers are wonderful.   I can't find anything in the company handbook about slapping not being appropriate, so that's my next plan of action.  I just have to figure out a way to do that through cyberspace.
    Evil Co-Worker
    I agree! Give her enough rope and evenutally she will hang herself. You are so not alone. I had to deal with one of these types for nearly 2 years. I would be trying to get my work done on my account and her IMs were poping up left and right. I even had my "Busy Working" sign up! She never did her work -- waited until the last minute. Most times I ended up doing her share because of it. Unfortunately, no one in charge seemed to notice or just did not care since I was picking up what she lacked. The money was good because I was getting a ton of extra lines, but it was killing me and destroying my marriage. She would go on and on about her family all the time. Like I cared! Her kids were sick every other day. She always had an excuse why she didn't get her work done. The kicker? Once I had to do her work last minute about an hour or so before it was all due -- I am pounding away on my keyboard she Knows I am doing her work! The IMs pop up telling me how she is helping her sister write a resume! Hello! She should have been doing her own work or at the very least leaving me alone so I could do it for her. I would type my buttock off to have an evening free -- guess what? She would suddenly have some sort of problem as soon as she saw my work was finished and she would then be unable to do her own. Guess what came next? Yep -- I got stuck working while she got away with it. I swear it was like she was stalking me on-line. Don't know how she knew, but seemed like the second I got up to use the bathroom or went to the kitchen for a soda the IMs would bing. Just the memories still drive me crazy. I can relate. It's not a fun club to belong to.
    Wow, you are really evil to post this.

    sounds like one of the MQ supervisors all filled with herself.
    The only evil I find about smoking is. . .

    How darn hard it is to quit.  I have tried everything.  Patches, gum, Wellbutrin, Zyban, cold turkey, etc.


    Don't buy them by the pack anymore.  We (my husband and I) roll our own.  Buy a can of tobacco and have a little machine and thought that would deter us, but noooooooooo. $8 a week compared to over $8 a DAY.


    We do keep trying so there is hope that someday, hopefully within the next 6 months, we can say see ya!  Yeah right.

    Taking the evil out of the world is one thing.

    Sending a teenager (18) just out of high school to a country with acknowledged lower drinking age (18) is perhaps contributing to the vulnerability and adding a little evil into that life teens life.  No one thinks straight when they are drinking.  New drinkers + naive teens equals disaster.  Mix in a foreign country with different customs and laws.  What were these parents thinking?


    I couldn't resist, must be the evil spirits in the air.

    BNP WHAT IS THE DEFINITION FOR THIS ABBR


    IRS created the new SE definition and

    then felt it was being abused.  They then noticed how large the MT industry was and decided that would be where they would focus their efforts to decide whether to keep the status or do away with it.  In order to find out that information, they had to start doing audits if the "SE" box on your W2 was marked.  I hired a tax person to help me but his efforts were fruitless.  One day after faxing back and forth and writing back and forth, I got on the phone and held for almost 5 hours until I got someone in the department created for consumer complaint resolution.  I was amazed to find myself talking to someone who was intelligent!  They saw what the problem was, saw that all the documentation was in place and negated all activity by clicking a few keys on his computer.  I had owed about $2000 that year but had already paid it as it was a retroactive audit, so I was lucky with how things worked out.


    I was just wondering if anyone else had problems.  I've chosen to never again have SE status so as not to have lightening strike again!

    definition of acquaintance....sm

    1. Knowledge of a person acquired by a relationship less intimate than friendship.
    2. A relationship based on such knowledge: struck up an acquaintance with our new neighbor.

    3. Someone you know.

    from dictionary.com


    The IRS definition of an employee is this:
    Who Is an Independent Contractor?

    A general rule is that the EO, as the payer, has the right to control or direct only the result of the work done by an independent contractor, and not the means and methods of accomplishing the result.

    I'd suggest you get a consultation with an attorney, and be sure to file your response with EDD.
    See definition inside.

    From Webster's online dictionary:


    A written or oral defamatory statement or representation that conveys an unjustly unfavorable impression b (1): a statement or representation published without just cause and tending to expose another to public contempt (2): defamation of a person by written or representational means (3): the publication of blasphemous, treasonable, seditious, or obscene writings or pictures (4): the act, tort, or crime of publishing such a libel.


    Based on the definition above...
    I would come away from viewing that site with an unfavorable impression and unjustly so for the name of the company as well.

    I think there's a good argument for libel there.
    Here's the definition I found: sm
    "A ball of swallowed foreign material (usually hair or food) that becomes trapped in the stomach or the intestines."

    That's on Google, and that's the way context in which the dictating physicians used that term on the reports I typed for 22 years. :)
    This is the definition I found, it's
    grosser than yours, eeewww!
    How can you mention this, just like that??? Out of the blue?

    Do you suffer from 'vocal tics?'

    (n.) A calculous concretion found in the intestines of certain ruminant animals (as the wild goat, the gazelle, and the Peruvian llama) formerly regarded as an unfailing antidote for poison, and a certain remedy for eruptive, pestilential, or putrid diseases. Hence: Any antidote or panacea.


    You need to look up the definition of synechiae....sm
    It does refer to the eye, but also refers to any adhesions in the body, lung, uterus, vulva etc.
    Small national definition
    Would you define what you would perceive as a "small" national, and then maybe I could better have an idea how to respond to you with some ideas.
    Depends on the company's definition.
    At MQ, a medical Editor is a Transcriptionist who uses ASR (automated speech recognition) to get her job done; she literally edits the speech recognition product.

    The QA Specialist handles the QA blanks the MTs or MEs send.

    Have you tried checking the IRS website for their definition?
    If there's a standard anywhere, it should be based on that.
    The definition of "US-Based"
    Does NOT mean the company doesn't off-shore its work!!!! It might just mean they have offices in New York and LA where they answer the phones before shipping the work off to India or elsewhere.
    MTs by definition are hired to transcribed - sm

    what the doctor dictates.  We can't be expected to have to catch their mistakes - they're supposed to catch their own.  That's why they're being paid the big bucks and we're note.  Years back, we weren't expected to know all this stuff -- the meaning of every word we transcribed, the normal/abnormal lab values, what a particular drug is used for, and I could go on and on, and we were paid better, appreciated more & respected more.


    I do agree that we must know how to spell medical words and words of English usage.  That's what they get for their 7-8-8.5 cents per line.  I do NOT believe that we should have to look up doctor's names, on our time, when the dictator has it right in front of him/her and would take him/her only 2-3 seconds to spell it, thus also avoiding any confusion.  But I guess that would be too easy.


    I didn't always feel this way.  Years back, when I was treated as a professional and compensated accordingly, I performed as such.  If I want to flag a doc's mistake, I do it for the PATIENT'S sake (but for the grace of God it could be me or a loved one lying in that hospital bed) - and as a courtesy to the doctor.  But they really expect too much for too little.


    Webipedia dictionary definition of flame is SM
    (n.) A searing e-mail or newsgroup message in which the writer attacks another participant in overly harsh, and often personal, terms. Flames are an unfortunate, but inevitable, element of unmoderated conferences.
    (v.) To post a flame.



    My definition of hard work is totally different.

    When I need a reality check on how good I got it with this at-home typing thing, I do my chores outside in the freezing cold or sweltering heat and realize that is about the only other thing I could do in this state for income, and I'd be lucky if I got minimum wage with no bennies out of it.


    I guess you have to look at it from a different perspective every now and again.  I've heard of people who leave MTing at home because they miss the buzz of an office, and then the cranky patient's and office politics breaks them down and brings them back to doing their thing solo again.


    For me, the pay isn't too awfully bad because I figure don't have to buy fancy clothes, I don't have to worry about a car, gas, packing/buying lunch, and putting on a happy face if I don't want to. 


    We all have bad days.  Those are days when you really need to take a deep breath or two and walk away for a bit.  They will get better.  If the bad days just keep on a'comin, well, then I suppose it would be time to look for a change, and there's nothing wrong with that either.   


    Depends on the definition you choose to accept
    It can be "the particular occupation for which you are trained" or simply "a person's job or profession." I choose to think of mine as a career, also. I have not failed to increase my income each year, albeit by a relatively small amount, each year for the last seven. I think maybe the main difference between categorizing MT as a "career" or a "job" is one's contentment with where they are and what they are doing.
