I think I did not speak clearly about the just showing up MTs

Posted By: its a problem with the hiring process..not the MTs on 2005-08-04
In Reply to: MT's choosing their schedules. - FYI/25-yr MT.

If a company hires only ICs, then they cannot expect them to work except for the times they want. 


Typing less than 100 lines a day is not pocketchange because of the pay.

It isn't about showing MTs the money, it's about showing

of course they speak english, with an accent but they speak British-English quite well.
And I can't speak Indian so I guess they have an edge don't they?
Unfortunately showing my age here, but
Yul Brynner was always the greatest to me!!  Just wish he was still alive!!!  What a sexy man!!!!!
showing my age
I was only 7 when it came out (just checked), so it's just now becoming a classic for me (he, he, he).
And I'm really glad it wasn't meant to be mean.
you are showing your IGNORANCE
Apparently that is all you have gained from 'getting out, living and learning'.

Knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.

I hope you truly 'get smart' by the time you have to give an account for all you have done and not done to the One that made you.
What? How in the world can you say that? I AM showing
compassion. Yes, I'm a mother. I can't pat her on the back and try to settle her. She seemed upset. I was trying to soothe her irritation, literally.

I think you have taken me wrong. I'm very tender with my babies and I thought I was coming across that way to the post above as well.

Gee, I'm sorry if she took that wrong.
I don't want to worry about the IRS showing

up on my doorstep, so I have my taxes done by H&R Block.  No guarantee that you still won't have problems with IRS, but it makes me feel better.  I don't claim my house/utilities.  I don't claim nickel and dime stuff either. 


When my mother died exactly a week later I get a letter from the IRS stating she owed $25,000.00 - no explanation.  I was freaking, not only was I grieving but having to worry about this.  I wrote a very nice letter, sent them a copy of her death certificate, and said I thought the issue was a roll-over of an IRA.   My mom didn't have much money and I knew that she had rolled over one so I was just guessing.   They sent me a letter a couple of weeks later saying the situation had been resolved and no monies due.  I  don't know what the problem was, but 5 years later I still have that letter.


 


Absolutely! They are showing this whole
last season all summer long. Every Tuesday night...two episodes back to back.
Your young age is showing!
I remember the dictabelt, we had to mark it with chalk to know where to start it up. Talk about archaic! The times they are a'changin! (and for this part - the better!)
Minnie, you are showing your
ignorance. You must get off on bashing people? Are you that miserable of a person? I think it is safe to assume that you don't have much of a life, probably because no one can stand being around someone so negative. Grow up!!
Sorry, then, was showing my ignorance! :) nm

The memory showing says up to on
all of them, which means that is the maximum you can have, but you customize.  You can pick the cheapest one, but by the time you customize it, it can be $200 to $300 more.    I looked at them all and the processor speed is not that fast.  Depending on what programs you use it may be too slow.    I would get one with a faster processor speed.    You may also want to get a laptop with XP instead of Vista since there are still so many bugs with it. 
showing my ignorance
I did not know there were services like that, how do you contact them, what are they called?
and ridiculing someone instead of showing--sm
compassion towards any given person or situation is NOT making them a victim?
LOL..showing your age honey
I absolutely loved your post and agreed a gazillion percent; however, you ARE showing your age here....LOL... with Dr. Marcus Welby and Dr. Kildare... you forgo ZORBA too!!!  LOL.  Oh......the good ol days of good programs to watch......
They have been showing a great documentary on it on HBO lately--
really is good, depressing and upsetting of course, but gives a lot of insight I think.
Go RadGuy, your testosterone is showing NM
.
and your lack of expectations for yourself is showing.

LOVE that response about showing
up naked because you can't afford clothes!  ROTFL. Seriously, though, you should not have to put up with that, but then office politics are undeniably tough and all the troublemakers stick together so it can be difficult if you are the only one with 'the problem."  Bose headphones are the best but very pricey but maybe you can find some on EBay...Good luck!
Poor thing, your negativity is showing

yeah, I keep firing myself but I keep showing up for work the next day.
:P
I agree. Unless you are showing a possessive form for
There are different situations to consider.

Plural forms:
Call all of your MTs and have them respond.

Possessive forms:
Make sure the MT's phone number is correct.

We have these 2 choices because there are 2 characters in this acronym.

When there is only 1 character (alpha or numeric), there is always an apostrophe, regardless.

Single characters:
The patient counted using serial 8's.

Please dot all I's and cross all T's appropriately.

Multiple characters:
In the 1980s, the bill was enacted.

Blood sugar was in the 300s on return of labs.

getting paid is showing appreciation for my work. that's all i care about.
who cares if some supervisor "appreciates" me?  i'm in it for the money not for someone to "appreciate" me. 
At my company, as soon as they start showing improvement, they are gone and we get a new batch.

WHAT race card did she pull? Ever? And are you just being delusional and showing who and how YOU r

I knew what she meant, thanks. I was just showing a funny, or at least I thought it was. Sorry to
  It was the "rumatyca" that got me laughing. 
Pardon me, but your ignorance and obvious lack of class are showing.

No reason to feel good about it. Just showing that kids are going to get into trouble
So let them learn how to function in society rather than hide them from it.
She had an ectopic pregnancy. They were showing everything that happened in the past. Next week it

My Norton antivirus is showing a red X on my email and I have no idea what happened. How do I fix
that.
Some people like to keep a Time Clock thing showing on their monitors, too. But

Hey, speak for yourself (sm)
My accounts are 95% ESL. I love them. I can do them. It's job security, thanks to the MTs who can't or won't do them. As long as I can hear them and the technical quality is there, I welcome the ESL challenge!
SPEAK CLEARLY!

I'm lost as to why doctors can not just speak more clearly. I know it is possible, I have many doctors who do it. I am only 25, and I am going to be gray by the time I am 30.


PLS DO SPEAK CLEARLY
My god. i know that its hard to have so many patients, its also hard to transcribe if you cant speak clearly, for the doctors that can talk more fluent thank you very much.
I would not speak

or respond to any job posting that used a hotmail address.  ANY reputable company will have professional email set up that uses their company name, such as   recruiter@reputablecompany.com. 


Did he speak to you about it?

Speak for yourself
Geez!
You cannot speak for everyone!!

Hey, speak for yourself...
And her opinions in posts. She put in ample dues in this profession and I for one am delighted that she showed up here to post and keep her fingers on the pulse of the MT biz. I think Ella pretty much rocks.

Pay the naysayers no mind, Ella...You keep posting, girlfriend, because I'm sure I'm not the only one who respects your contribution to the profession and your continued input.

And, geez, she was only pointing out that there are good and bad in EVERY race, nothing wrong with that perspective, especially since IMO it's correct.

I sympathize with you with the ESLs (just finished a 15-minute report dictated by a VERY Chinese dictator which has me ready to beat my head into my monitor, lol!), but don't take it out on Ella. Without the blood, sweat and tears of MTs like Ella, where we would all be today?


These ESL's speak more than their own language, sm
many are fluent in several languages.  They also pay income taxes at the same rate as USA-born doctors.  Until you can speak their language as well as they can speak ours, have some compassion for their efforts, and be glad that you have a job.  There are ESLs wherever you go.  Better get used to it.  Or better yet, why don't you travel to a country where you don't speak the language.  It might humble you a bit when you see how difficult it is. 
you speak your mind ....
with facts and not with vicious attacks and I like that quality in people.  What you say makes sense and I appreciate reading your opinion.  But I did not post anything with the intentions of warning someone away but rather they research certain things before accepting a position with not just a particular transcription service or company but with any prospective employer and decide for themselves what is right for them.
so, did he speak at the convention?
i
If you continue to speak to me
like that I will ban you from my site.  Now, I'm trying to relate to you guys by being honest. You should appreciate that.
Speak for yourself. I want and need to know my mistakes.
I'm sure there are those who get offended but not all are that way.


I speak from experience
I had a dog who had to have surgery and I asked for the "Buster" collar. They said they had a different "new and improved kind" and put it on him. Well, he got out of it numerous times with three trips back to the vet's office with ripped-out sutures and even after leaving him there all night (when they came in the next morning, he was out of the collar and had the sutures ripped out), I FINALLY got the Buster collar I asked for as they finally believed me. Don't take the collar off-- you will be sorry.
speak for your own family!
My family loves our pets.  I have three children and four dogs and two cats and two birds.  Our family loves each of our pets like they are a member of this family because they are!!!!!  My husband and I treat them like they are also our children.  They are very well behaved and SOOOO much fun. 
Might I add that I speak from the heart,
literally, as I'm right there with ya at the bottom of the totem pole, so you are not alone.
I would call and ask to speak with the
manager and report it anonymously, if you can block your number somehow, absolutely! I know if I was her manager, I would definitely want to know, especially since you mention this is a larger national service. Perhaps that's WHY they're posting for jobs *all the time*? How scary.
I can't speak for any other company, but
for my particular situation, its a trickle down effect. QA is only as good as the layer above us. Nothing we can do about it anymore than the MTs can.  Basically, I guess I'm saying we're on an even rung on the food chain - and all answer to those above!
