    Send a very nice letter, thanking them for
    the job, but your situation has changed and you can't pass up this opportunity you have right now. Say you will be happy to work out a 2-week notice if they need you. Then you're leaving on good terms but they can tell that you don't need to work 2 more weeks if they don't need you.
    We had one on our team and she sent us an email explaing thanking us SM
    (the team) for our help, so I emailed her wanting to know why she quit, and she told me. Luckily she found another job.
    Good call!
    and gross.
    Call me a good-for-nothing job hopper

    If I'm constantly running out of work, the recruiter over promised, etc. etc., I'm going to hop and if the next one does the same thing, I'm going to hop again and again until someone gets it right.


    I think people who make demeaning statements about others without walking a mile or so in their shoes are i-g-n-o-r-a-n-t.


    Good for you. That's really all we can do is call their attention to it.

    Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.
    :
    got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to

    we received our "incentive packet."  They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally.   These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.

    On-call requires on-call compensation by law
    This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
    Call me, call me anytime.
    I'm waiting to hear back on a job.  Call me!
    Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
    .
    If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
    is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
    That is a good offer. Pay is not that good at UIMC. Good luck! nm

    Agree with other poster.. good price..good service
    I definitely think they are one of the best out there. We also have been talked through issues over the phone and also had a warranty in which they came out and fixed it right at our home. My only complaint..and I am sorry for saying this.. but... when you call their customer service 9 out of 10 times...you get someone who barely speaks English and I just hate that. I think that is true of a lot of customer support centers these days, ironically they are rarely American anymore. I am not prejudice at all. I just find it frustrating to call in for help and the help you get barely understands you and you do not understand them, thus making the experience very frustrating..
    Expensive is right -- around $300 per credit hour! But they do have a good rep. Good luck! nm

    Good for you. Sounds very interesting and a good chance of pace - sm

    but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live.  I also live in a small town so that limits my options.  I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT.  The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations.  With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that.  I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.   


    Thanks for all the responses.    


    8 is NOT good if never going any higher - good to get the rust out in the short term though

    Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
    My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
    you may need to call the doc (sm)
    cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected.  I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them.  Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only.  I'd call the doc if it were my child.   give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
    I would call
    your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter.  First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day?  Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms?  It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain.  Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup.  Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners.  Let us know how it goes for you.  I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog.  This is your chance to help him. 
    call first

    I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial.  That is ridiculous.  I would be upset.  How long ago did they bill your credit card?  I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge.  Most credit card companies will fight it for you.


    Good Luck!!


    You call that a different POV?

    the point is how this person has attacked the OP.  They were rude and it was uncalled for.  so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.


    I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior. 


    We call them
    PIG NUTS up here!  LOL  They are good, though.
    call in 1-800
    MedT:

    idigital through transcriptiongear.com is very very reliable. You pay for what you use. I have been with them for over four years now and you dont worry about anything.. Check out the website and give them a call.
    On Call Pay..
    I know someone who works as a computer tech. When she is on call for a weekend, she gets paid $3 an hour for every hour she is given "on call" duty, so basically from 5 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, she is paid $3 an hour, whether she has a "trouble" call or not. When she does get a call it is usually 15-30 minutes to deal with it, and it rarely happens. I think she has a great deal. She is not a transcriptionist, but is employed by a hospital.
    On Call Pay
    Thanks Pam. That gives me an idea of price range.
    I can see why you call yourself that!
    Spheris is hiring over 1500 US MTs THIS YEAR ALONE, you idiot. It's laughingly obvious that you're a disgruntled worker or EX. LMAO I hear McDonalds is hiring. LOL

    Everything in your post is bogus. Just an angry dissidence. LMAO
    I will call them
    I will call them once I get DSL in my area. It isn't available here yet.
    Why are we getting a call
    to ask if we got the packet yet when we are not supposed to get it until October? This seems really weird to me.
    The call...

    was very friendly. Medquist will now offer:


    1.  15 cpl/line for each and every MT regardless of ASL or regular transcription.


    2.  If work runs out each MT will be guaranteed compensation at their average hourly salary until work does come in.


    3.  All offices will be run exactly the same way.


    4.  If U believe all this, I do have a rather nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell...


    No call yet either
    I am still waiting for my call regarding the Rewards Plan. Letter is dated 9/2 and today is 9/14; that is almost a couple of weeks. The packet will come sometime in October so we will probably get a call a few days before it comes so we won't have enough time to look it over.
    What should we call him?

    Call whoever you want to
    Listen up Bozo - I don't have any cousin named Sipper!

    Go call whoever you feel like calling! For you comment about me being off the meds, why YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
    not my call but

    ...if it were me I would tell them to STICK IT!  There are better jobs elsewhere!


    Refuse to be treated like a doormat.  You're far better than that.


     


    Why don't you call them and ask?
    Make sure you have your dates right, verify your account information. The first paycheck is usually a check in order to make sure direct deposit is working properly. Other than that, nobody here can help you.
    Call it what you please.

    When I have a medical transcriptionist transcribe for my clients, they are subcontractors. 


    When I transcribe for a clinic or hospital, I am the independent contractor. 


    Now, you can refer to those positions in whatever form you wish and in the way that makes you happiest, but those, ma'am, are the facts, so I'm through going 'round the rosie with you about this.  


    What does the IRS call YOU and your MTs???
    The IRS will still call you an IC and will still call your subs an IC so it is possible to work for a service and be considered an IC. Some ICs just prefer to call their ICs "subcontractors" and there is nothing wrong about that -- a subcontractor is someone who performs independent contracting for a primary contractor. That person is still an IC, but their work is coming from another IC so they can be referred to as an SC if desired.

    I never said you shouldn't/ couldn't call your people SCs. I simply said that it is not "impossible" to work as an IC for someone else. You and another poster had said she could not possibly be an IC and work for a service and several people have said yes, it is possible. THAT'S ALL I'M TRYING TO CONVEY. The only difference between an IC and an SC is that one obtains the client and the other does not. Both are ICs for tax purposes so if an MTSO wishes to say IC, they are free to do so and it would not be incorrect, nor is it incorrect if an MTSO wants to call them SCs. I do call them SCs, too, for the record, but I also recognize that in the eyes of the IRS, they are ICs just like me. I just get the additional benefit of writing off their wages. :D
    If you want the job you will call.
    It may not be right, or even professional for that matter, but that is life.  If you want something you have to get it.  If you don't like the fact that their tech people haven't called you yet, find another company.  Then again, they may be busy training others or fixing system issues etc.
    we call that
    a running spell. We have a lab and a pom and both do it.
    Thank you, both!! I will call and see how he is doing
