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.
It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
I'm shocked as well ... here's where ...
Look at the recipe thread here on page 1 of the Main Forum.

Open the post by "Just Observing".

There are ads displayed on the right, down the page where the "latest" posts are listed.

One of them is for BPO Experts. It is an ad for Indian offshoring of MT, coding, different types of HIM work.

I am quite shocked myself to see this ad on this website.

I am shocked
I still can't believe it. I did a search for MT companies and came upon Zydoc. Searched here but found only one person asking a question. Started filling out the form on their website and got to the last page and it asked me to enter my CC info!!!
I was shocked!
Ace really deserved to go home last night. I can't even believe that it was Bucky.
I am shocked!
What a jerk that doctor was! I am sorry you got in trouble for that, but I am sure you flagged it and did not just send it in as a final.

You go, girl!
I was so shocked!
I could not believe it when I read what was on this web site.

I am shocked that.....
companies even use PayPal to pay.  PayPal is not a very legitimate company and is KNOW for freezing funds, over-charging fees, etc.  Years ago, Paypal decided to freeze $3,000 that I had in an account to "investigate" it, although it was clearly shown where the money came from.  It took me a year to get my money back.  I found out that they do this sometimes to invest different monies I guess.  Crazy company, I wouldn't use them!
I was shocked too. Are there that many pedophiles?
a
You're welcome. I was shocked at some of it too. You know, there are
in stores and bakeries now too!!!!  Lots more opportunities to be sitting in a danger zone in case you happen to be called in to be tested out of the blue and there you stand with you teeth in your mouth (and a few muffin crumbs on your blouse)...failing a drug screen.. yikes.
Yes, shocked here, too. As my 3 teens have
pointed out, dear Cat is sure strutting her you-know-whats. Yuck. Chris was absolutely stunned, and so were a lot of viewers. We're not even gonna bother - the remaining 3 are nice enough, but talented enough? No way!!
Very true...I was shocked as well
at least we can take comfort in knowing that SOMEONE will give him a recording contract.
I am shocked you would even question. sm
Your job is to transcribe the dictation.  It is not your report - it belongs to who signs it.  And unless you cannot understand a phrase or word - you blank it.  Sounds like that was a clear sentence.  Shaking my head. 
The more I read, the more shocked I am
Your pharmacy cannot tell your husband your prescription is ready. Where does this madness end? People on here are paranoid, the whole world seems like going in the same direction. You cannot call someone's name in a physician's office, your next of kin cannot be told your prescription is ready- on and on and on. All this political correctness is just a bunch of bunk. I could use a lot more words to describe but not allowed to do so here.
I am shocked at how some people responded to this.....
Everyone has their bad days....that doesn't mean you throw your marriage away and decide you are better off w/o them. I know where you're coming from having a husband of my own that some days I could just kill but most days I love him to death and don't know what I would do w/o him. Don't pay these people any attention or let them get you down. Vent when you need to...
I for one was shocked at the line rate
When I first started out.  They start some at 5 cpl, are you kidding me?  10 years ago I started at 0.0775 cpl.  How can they do this and get away with it?  Why are people signing up to do this?
I'm shocked. Sherrie come on out and talk to us
Dont you owe us that much?? We have supported this site for years.. Talk to us.
I am shocked too! And the way that Ryan Seacrest just blurted it out...sm
I did not like that one bit!  That was so mean how he told him he was the one going home!  It was a shocker, but he will be one getting a contract sometime in the near future.  I hope Taylor wins!  I will for sure be keeping my phone lines busy next time - just goes to show that you better be calling and voting for the one you like most.  Never would have thought Chris would have gotten voted off tonight....
Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly.  These mistakes should not have been made.  I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you. 
I agree. I was shocked too. Laurie seems irritated; thought a little
mothering might help calm her down.

I'm raising my children alone. I know how it is.
I believe the original poster is the one doing the scoring, and she is SHOCKED at how low the score
is for the MT, and she doesn't even know what to say to the MT under comments. I can certainly relate - lately, its abysmal in my company.  How, oh how, do these MTs get hired?  To me, that is the BIGGEST mystery. 
I'm shocked that they are still in business. Why haven't they been prosecuted and/or shut dow

I received an invitation to a baby shower that shocked me....sm

It was for a friend having her second baby...already strange because I thought baby showers were only for the first baby, when you don't have any of the necessary items. The worst part, though, was that printed on the invitation was the ADMISSION PRICE to the party! It was a tea party at a tea room of some sort. It also was printed on the invitation what gift to bring! 


I chose not to go to the party. I politely declined and gave an appropriate gift of my own choosing at a later date.


 


 


Wouldn't that mean that you simply wouldn't have to print out everything?

Wow..I'm so shocked. I didnt know this happened. I know the clients pay the MTSO owners so why ca
the MTs who do the work. Is this the same person. It sounds like she is a nice person but nice does not pay the bills. Anyone care to give initials of the company as I have been looking for a IC job and obviously with these people having a huge turnover due to nonpayment, I do not want to fall into that trap. How awful!!!
Hi, yes I did explain above. Really shocked by that post who thinks I'm a company...ahahah
NO bad intentions whatsoever. Shoot me for copy and pasting....too lazy to reype.

That's just really funny.
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.
I hope your trust proves to be well placed.
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!).
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!
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

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...
