I hope your trust proves to be well placed.

In Reply to: Thanks for your concern - sm - My dog's day was today!

And I'm glad to know you have looked into their background so that you can feel more comfortable with your decision to be charitable. Keeping you in my prayers. I wish you were my neighbor. For one thing, I like Shelties. For another, you seem like a person I would be proud to call a friend (and you'd set a very good example for my family--me included!).

    I hope this proves to all MTSOs who say they are forced to lower their rates that if MQ can get 20,
    All they need to do is stick to their guns. Our rates should not be falling. MQ does not even have the good quality that half of these other services do.
    I think this just proves
    that every company isn't right for everyone.  This is the reason I said I don't make referrals with or without a referral bonus.  Obviously some are happy with MQ and that is great.  For those who aren't, there are other options.  I feel for those who run out of work.  After so many times reading the same complaints crying about no money and refusing to help themselves, the only advice I have is "sympathy" is between s*it and syphilis in Websters.
    If this is the case, this proves that..
    the people in the MTSO can decide which MT gets which report, isn't it?
    And that it is not by random or according to ' the oldest first, etc...'

    So, the 'friends' get the best dictations in their queues and the newbies and those who are not so 'popular' get the crap.
    Isn't it like that?
    They just do not want to admit it.

    OMG - this proves my point
    about this business.  I can't believe you're asking such a ridiculous question.  Would you be that concerned if your didn't do transcription and worked a normal 8 to 5 Monday through Friday job?  NO!.  What a stupid thing to say.  Good example of why this buisness is going to the red dots.
    Only proves one thing

    Per the above posts in this thread, those folks who wrote the BOS are not the experts they claim to be.  I often wondered whether the rules proclaimed in the BOS were just the result of the personal preferences of the writers of the BOS.  It appears that they didn't do much research into details.


     


    Yah it proves how HIGHLY intelligent she is.
    was for adults? You go girl? What are you 17? Sounds like something my daughter says.
    The above post proves my point. _sm_
    NEWS FLASH: MT is a NEVER-ENDING, continual process of learning. I've been at this biz for 35 years (and took all my tests honestly, and my resume is 100% accurate, thank you very much), and I still continue to learn each and every day that I transcribe. 99% of that learning is done by my own research.

    But sometimes a person's ears can deceive them, or a new doctor that is hard to understand can come along that we can't transcribe completely. Usually QA has dealt with these guys before, and are familiar with the terms that stump me. (You can't look something up if you can't even tell for sure what the word SOUNDS like.)

    Yes, QA is for quality-assurance. But the only way to IMPROVE quality is to help the MTs with their ongoing learning process.

    What's REALLY frustrating is when you people first tell us one thing, and then a few days later, you tell us something entirely different. You contradict yourselves to the point of being the "joke" you talk about. Too bad your manager can't get all of you on the same page at least SOME of the time!

    Anyway, your post sounds exactly like the snippy little emails I get whenever I ask QA an honest question, or send something to them that I have a gut feeling is wrong, but have no samples available to double-check.

    Yes, it does only take one rotten apple to spoil the whole barrel, and QA-people with your attitude should be shoved down the garbage-grinder.

    :p
    I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
    isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
    So what do we do, not trust?
    I too went cross country twice at 17 and 19.  Met lots of good people.  It is just an unfortunate thing that happened and you cannot blame the girl.  So what do we do, not trust men anymore?  This boy and his two friends know what happened.  My prayers and thoughts are with Natalees family.
    Hi Trust Me...
    If you send me your e-mail address we can talk off-line. We have been with MDI about the same time. Do you do radiology or acute care? I do acute care and this winter we had a lot of weekend bonuses on my account which was short staffed. If you post a question like below on this site, you will not get the answers you need. I am sure I can help you if you send me your e-mail.
    Trust me, there is nothing
    that anybody can post on this board or any board that would make me feel any less self worth.  If anything, reading some of this idiotic remarks gives me a feeling of increases self worth.  Furthermore, the name that carries over with each post can be changed at any time. 
    DO NOT TRUST JLG
    Don't trust JLG, they are very dishonest and present themselves as above board. But they are not. Beware!!
    You don't want to know....trust me
    YUCK! JMO
    Trust me when I say
    That there are some MTs out there who DO NOT care. They do not take pride in their work, do not do the research and no matter how many times you tell them specific websites to use and other tools to use, they WILL NOT use them.

    Most MTs are not this way and I think most QA realize this, but you have to understand that there are a handful of them (I deal with about 5 out of my 60-70 MTs) that are just ridiculous.

    Yes, I can put in perspective and realize that it is part of the job but it does get frustrating sometimes!

    MTs complain day in and day out about their horrible dictators and I think that you have to give QA the outlet to sometimes complain about the careless/non-caring MTs that they have to deal with as well.

    There, I'm done. :-)
    You act like that's the only job out there. It's not, trust me.

    It will get much better, trust me on this. sm
    It's much easier to relearn a skill than to learn a new one. You're just out of practice with your typing speed, that's all. And from what I hear, VR involves a different (very) use of an MT's skills than straight typing. As for the ESLs, some are better than others, and some good ole boy Americans are worse than any ESL I ever ran across back in the days when I was working.

    Give yourself a little time to adjust to all this. If you find after a certain period of time--say, a couple of months?--that you still loathe the work, why, you can start looking for another job. :) Or check and see if you can start doing VR at least part time with your present company. Best of luck!
    No one would trust that everyone
    else would stop working too, so no one will do it. It was one thing when factory workers in a specific plant would decide something of that nature, but we are all over the place and have no contact other than this. How do you think that would ever work!?
    Trust your instincts. You know best
    what your needs, abilities and interests are. If you need or want to explore another career path, why not?
    I would suggest some vocational testing either online or in person. Check around your city for vocational services. Whatever you do, don't let yourself feel trapped. Good luck.
    Trust your instincts. If you don't think
    they have their act together and can't find any other info, keep looking. Good luck.
    Yes...trust her. It's beautiful! NM

    You can't always trust websites. I have
    googled something and have 3 or 4 spellings come up, therefore having to do more research. Books are your best get.
    How well do you trust management
    I would be concerned that they are getting their ducks in a row to outsource.
    Trust me, I thought about it, but yappy seems mean.

    I don't want to get bitten.  And who knows what the "door lockers" would do if I actually stepped foot in their yard.


    I'm giving it another week and then I'm calling the animal control officer that works for our local Humane Society so that he can come over and talk to them. No names involved that way and I've had neighbors all around tell me they can't stand it either.


    Poor little pup.  I can't imagine tying my dog out like that.  Like I said in my earlier post, I wouldn't even get a dog until the backyard was fenced in.  He also has a "doggy door" and has been very well trained.  Even if he does get out of the fence if someone leaves the gate open, he sits and whines (not barks) at the door as if to say, "Helloooo, I'm not supposed to be out here."


    AND, despite the fenced in backyard, we take our dog for walks too. The yard is only so big and he needs regular exercise. 


    Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have a dog.


    I don't trust myself. I set the clock or I know I'd wake up 4 hrs later.

    Also, wondering if people trust him...sm
    The mayor said he said, "get out," but alot of people did not. Don't know too much about this mayor, but maybe his people don't trust him. But then again, maybe the people in that area just hear the words "evacuate" alot, and nothing really happens, so they ignore the warning.

    I can understand how alot of people did not leave. I'm talking about those who did not have cash, access to a car, or those who have no relatives elsewhere. I've got a family now, but in my single days, faced with those restrictions, I probably wouldn't have known what else to do but stay.

    The people I'm wondering about are the ones who rode that horrendous storm out, have flooded houses even long after the hurricane passed, but still want to stay in their house, and not be rescued. I don't think they really know the conditions or understand the problems to come.

    Just me, but did anyone else cringe every time the major said the G-D word? I can stand most curse words, but G-D is my most hated word. I understand that this mayor wanted to get his thoughts emphasized, but I don't think there's ever a reason to say G-D, and on public TV no less!
    Trust me, I wouldn't transfer -
    I just wanted to know where this LA la land was. I wasn't trying to be nasty. I am very frustrated with all this BS going on. The the majority are unhappy and a handful of happy people - doesn't make sense. If they would operate every office the same, it would certainly cut down on the unhappy versus happy MTs. I'm glad your happy and got an awesome account - I felt that way about them for many, many years. I am not miserable with them, I just think that we should be treated as people and every office equal.
    For one thing, no car until she gets a job AND EARNS your trust and the car.
    If she's going to lie and teach her little brother to lie, she's setting a bad example and needs to be punished, not rewarded. As for drawing trashy boys, does she have low self-esteem and dress and act trashy? She reaps what she sows.
    He loves me despite my faults and I know I can trust him.

    I don't trust disk cleanup

    A lot of times it will list files for removal that really shouldn't be removed - I would rather err on the side of caution and remove things myself.


    But that's just me.


    That is weird. Sounds like there are trust
    s
    I wouldn't trust this at all! I'm shocked you do!
    Talk about inviting trouble in the door!

    I don't like Vista's search either. I don't trust it. sm
    I am using Google Desktop and I have used Copernic. Both fast. As far as the Help feature in Vista, it isn't good because the help feature in XP wasn't and they didn't do much to improve it. Otherwise, I like Vista fine. It just takes some getting used to like switching to any new operating system.
    5 cpl is an excellent rate to do VR. Trust me...
    I have been offered anywhere from 1.5 cpl to a whopping 4 cpl, even with years of experience until I found Transcend. I like my job with them a lot and they pay the best for editing. The work can get sporadic on a few accounts and I suspect this is because they sending it to India. This is something they do not hide. I'm not anti-India or anything, but I would like assurance that I have work, which is tricky sometimes.
    Well then probably you need to find a group of MTs who you know and trust...
    because unfortunately when you get people who don't know each other this will happen...
    I am a supervisor and trust me you don't just send emails and
    take it easy. There is a lot of responsibility to it and it is a stressful job.


    Trust me I would if it didnt feel like someone took a hammer

    Don't trust PayPal as they took unauthorized money

    out of my checking account causing checks to bounce, overdraft fees, etc. that gave me no option but to close my checking account and open one in a different bank. It took 9 months of paperwork before I was finally reimbursed by my former banking institution for all fees as well as the monies that PayPal withdrew from my account without my authorization.


    PayPal, however, took no responsibility for their error.


    I am in hopes that there is another way to donate without giving your information to a site that is unsecure, such as PayPal.


    Several programs out there. You have to trust them or do a hand count! :) nm

    I was going to say to trust yourself and not re-read everything you type, but within the time
    it took me to read your post and then go check my mail, I received my monthly QA report and had two errors where I didn't pay attention and put "female" instead of "male".  Talk about feeling like a complete airhead!  Just goes to show you that you're going to make dumb mistakes no matter how long you've been at this or how much you trust yourself.
    De-identifying my eye. I don't trust ANYTHING that AAMT does. Nice try, but I can't buy.

    I could NEVER trust myself around 10,000 candy corn, or even 100! they'd be gone in no time

    but I would lie and say your wart is very becoming on you....in return for maybe 10 candy corn and about 5 of those pumpkin things


    They have always done well by me. I don't trust the computer phone systems. sm
    If my computer goes out, them my phone goes out and how will I call them?  I prefer to have my eggs in several baskets.  Computer and TV cable on the same line.  Phone on a land line, Verizon.
    I watch JJ too and I don't trust Sylvia Browne either sm
    If you go to YouTube you can find video clips of her on the Montel show where she totally messed up a reading for a woman. I believe her husband or son died in 9/11 attacks on the WTC and Sylvia said he drowned. Uhhhh whatever. There was another that can be found regarding parents and the loss of their daughter.

    Sylvia sticks her foot in her mouth again.

    By the way, if she has "saved" so many people, why don't we ever hear of any success stories? Just that SHE says she has saved them?

    I'm a skeptic and I want proof.
    Good communication, help with problems, trust -
    and when one employee does something wrong, address that employee, don't email everyone as if everyone was guilty.  It gets so depressing when all you hear is complaints.  By the same token, when someone does something right, when an account is happy with their work, let the Transcriptionist know.  All we get is bad feedback, what mistakes we've made.  Most of us are pretty isolated - would be nice to have positive reinforcement for a change. 
    good communication; trust on both sides; and --sm
    not doing everything possible under the sun to cut the transcriptionists line counts at every turn. I get REALLY irritated with that. I need to make a living too.
    very substanard, and don't trust the character line.

    You will starve to death with only crap to type, trust me. They did it to me.

    A steady diet of difficult doctors and bad reports = no lines an hour.


    No lines an hour = Broke city.


    If you took a cent a line pay cut and only did ER work you'd make more money!


    COMMUNICATION+TRUST = LONG HAPPY MARRIAGE

    Good lord.  Why is it when someone does not want to do something with their spouse it is "assumed" another woman and/or man involved? If he just started working and is probably working hard, long shifts etc, maybe he just wants a day to himself to sleep, lounge do whatever.  Call and talk to him and tell him how you feel.  Maybe he is the cautious type (I know my husband is), but maybe he just didn't want to hurt your feelings by telling you he just wanted to sleep/lounge/have a day for himself.  


    I am sure he misses you and the kids, but I am sure he is also tired. 


    You also said in your post you trust him 110%.  Then trust him.  Let him know how you feel, but respect him and don't go see him.  Yes, you are an adult and no you do not need his permission, but you are his other half, you need to respect him (and vice versa).


    Good luck and don't pay attention to the negative posts.
