Hi Donna, thanks for your reply (sm)
The conservatism is interesting; we are looking for more liberal views. Maybe the Boulder area would be nice. I have visited there and really loved it. I would love to email with you, if you wouldn't mind. Thanks again!
I agree w/Donna - I lived 10 yrs....sm
In the 70s, I spent 10 years out west, 4 in Denver Colorado (not far enough SW for my liking and too cold), 3 in Tucson, 3 in Santa Fe, New Mexico (my most favorite place in the US and even have a bedroom all done in the SW style from things I collected way back then).  The real SW culture is wonderful, one IS never bored, all kinds of things to check out and do.  When I die, it's where I want my ashes scattered, over the Sangre DE Cristo Mountains of Santa Fe and Taos.

NASTY prima donna QA people ...

Guys, help me with something because obviously I'm missing a crucial piece of the QA puzzle somewhere.  How is it that QA folks who are PAID both more money than us and also sometimes on an hourly basis (and justifiablly so because of their presumed higher skill level) to fill in blanks GRIPE and COMPLAIN when they are called upon to do so?  I simply don't understand, especially when there are obvious issues with the dictation, i.e. bad sound file, low voice volume, ESL's, etc. (I'm not talking about a situation where an MT may not have given his/her best effort to the dictation [which I don't think at all is as prevalant as some of the prima donnas would have us believe]).  What did they think, that they were going to continue to do the same job as the rest of us but get paid a premium just because they are who they are? 


And I'm not at all speaking in reference to those QA folks who are a blessing to the industry in terms of their talent, the nature of their feedback, and their mentoring capacity.  I'm sure, though, that many of you recognize the kind that I am speaking of. 


A clue:  If you don't have the patience to fill in blanks and give constructive feedback, then please ... DO US ALL A FAVOR and stay an MT.  The majority of us give the best that we have to each and every one of our dictations, but sometimes we reach an impasse with a particular chart that requires only a second listen to put together a quality final product and get it back to the facility.  We don't need the stress of your nasty, superior attitude and sometimes not-at-all-helpful feedback. 


Hi Donna. I posted to you on the autoimmune board

why does the name Donna Littrell sound so familiar?
Does anyone know her?

For anyone that is interested the HR person at Corporate is Donna Jack at ext. 4905 at the corporate
800 number. I suppose we can discuss with her or leave a message regarding this situation in Amherst and hopefully she can directed the problem to someone down there. Enough is enough of this now.
