    It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

    Because you're all over this board today
    on a beautiful Sunday attacking all the "bitter" MTs with bad attitudes.  However, you are the epitome of bitterness.  You're starting arguments and justifying your own bad behavior.  Have you ever heard the saying that when you're angry at someone, you're really angry at yourself?  Are you having a bad day, hon?  Home life got you down?  Stressed out?  All alone and lonely?  Do you just need a hug?  We're here for you if you'd like to open up about what's really bothering you. 
    it seems like you're killing THIS board.

    You're on the wrong board!
    This particular board is for medical transcriptionists, so we can't help you. Sorry!
    they're messing with the board.

    Nope, we're everywhere on this board! Can't you smell us??

    Good for you - we're not all nasty on this board

    You're welcome Tad, you will get quicker answers on the word board

    you're welcome; use Main board for general MT questions

    By stating "Don't dictate to the board what to say and how to say it" you're doing exact
    Hypocrite.
    You're right, i spend way too much time on this board when should be working, I am just so burned

    cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...

    I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...



    We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 



    But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.



    What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.


    My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....


    Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&

    Word Board=Help Board. NOT a do the math = figure it out yourself=GOOGLE IT!

    What is the Main Board for? All general topics seem to get moved to the new gab board.

    wrong board - rules are pls use WORD board

    I meant to say Job-Seekers Board, not Company Board.
    No mssg.
    Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing

    in your spa goodies. Congrats!


    Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
    focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
    If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

    You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
    allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.

    You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
    Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?

    You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
    I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.

    For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.

    I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!

    I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.


    Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm

    You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift?  Second shift?  Third shift?  Sounds like you want to work M-F on days.  Sounds kind of rigid to me. 


    Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me!

    If they're withholding taxes, you're not an IC.
    As an IC, you should already be paying taxes. That said, the only benefit having them withhold FICA is that your Social Security/Medicare share will be less. Social Security is 15%; if you're an employee, you pay 7.5% and your employer pays 7.5%. As an IC, you pay 15%. Doing the math, 0.0925 would be your 0.10 minus 7.5%--the 0.0924 is just a tad less than you're making now.
    We're out here (good MTs) but we're busy! sm
    I don't recall ever taking an employment test where I wasn't offered a job. My MTSO does not even look at my work unless I happen to have a question or a blank, which happens maybe once in every 30 or so reports with an ESL. If you find a really good MT, how much training would be involved? Certainly you would save time in the long run once they're trained and you don't have to check all their work.
