If a job can be rejected, refused, or hung up on, it's being cherrypicked. nm

Ah, here's one who was rejected. LOL. nm

If rejected, how would I know what is on there and sm
what they talk about?  They are not even MTs and I quit going there ages ago.  It is not really special, just a bunch of women gossiping, who knew people from other boards.  Lots of people on heavy medications, etc. 
Congratulations....I Was Rejected!!

I'm not terribly upset that I was rejected. It might be age discrimination........just kidding. I have an odd background with a BS in Medical Technology in 1969 and 33 years in the medical laboratory. I think they just didn't know how to categorize me.


Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll do well. The timing is not good for you but hopefully they can find an alternative date for you. 


I'd take hung any day over 2 teens that like RAP!! UGH!

I need shock absorbers for my upstairs floors while they listen to their RAP downstairs.


Don't ask why I put up with it. I do because they don't drink or drug. They write and record.


gotta pick your battles.


Exactly what my DH used to say till he hung out with me for a while. - nm

Don't get hung up with the golden handcuffs. (SM)

It is so easy to convince yourself you cannot make as much money at a different company  or on a different account, or never find anything better, so you stay where you are, taking all the abuse in the world.  In management, this is called the Golden Handcuff, and they rely on it to keep the same employees, never give a raise, never give respect, and just continue to walk all over you.


In this profession you are very mobile if you can transcribe at all.  It may take a month to get used to a new system, a new account, or whatever, but your self respect is worth it in the end.  There are a lot of companies out there that actually do appreciate employees, and it certainly does not seem to be any of the companies who are mentioned frequently on these boards.


I changed jobs about a month ago, thought I would never learn, but in a week I was making far more with a small MTSO than I ever did with a large company.  Treat yourself to a new beginning and a new year.

American Idol watchers - Unbelievable, this is something my hubby told me, did not see in any newspaper, ET, TV news, not one word.
Are documents set to print getting hung up
.
Don't blame you - I refused also.

Never actually refused to do one doctor out of many, SM
Usually they're just part of the averaging out, and I've never had an account where I couldn't make acceptable money.

A few times when one was truly consistently horrible I just started sending all those reports to QA with masses of blanks, rather than fighting to fill them in as much as possible. The forwarded reports from someone who tries to send as little as possible to QA, and the intensive work they require, hopefully spoke for themselves to someone closer than I am to the people who have to stroke and handle the clients. At least I never had anyone fuss at me for it. To the contrary, my employers usually want as little time as possible wasted in struggle instead of production.

Speaking of stroking clients, thank goodness I don't have THAT job in these days of scrambling to somehow hold onto accounts...
Maybe if we all refused to do cruddy Dr, they

Has anyone ever refused to do an account or doc? sm
I am so frustrated and pulling my hair out here.  I do editing for 0.03 cpl for my MTSO but I also have my own docs straight typing and make good money from same MTSO.  My problem is the editing.  I am not just filling in blanks.  I am basically having to retype half of the reports.  I mean the names are not even correct even though they get patient lists.  It is such a waste of my time and money as I may be earning max of $10/hr off the editing, yet my other good money making accounts get behind.  I want to say I can't do the editing anymore or pay me more, but I am worried about risking my good accounts if I do so.  Anyone been in this situation before and how did it turn out?  Any suggestions for me?
I agree. I have already refused to do it.
It is never going to work. The MTSOs should at least make sure that the MTs can use their bloody systems and make money on it BEFORE cutting their pay. Most of the ASR systems I have worked on are a complete joke! However, it is not funny when the joke is being perpetrated against your paycheck.

The only way to fight VR is to refuse to be used to train it to further cut your pay :-(
This took me to the William Hung library, am I in the right place?

Saw that y'day on VH1 top 100 things about Christmas. Definitely NOT Hung! :) nm

I agree! I just refused a job with a company because
the tech didn't do what he was supposed to do for my computer to work with their software and then got extremely upset with me when I questioned him about it. He told me that if I had used their computer, these problems wouldn't have happened and it would have been so much easier and better for HIM! So much for support for the MTs. I guess we should all acquiesce to what is best for tech support and help to make their lives easier, not the other way around.
I'd inform the boss of this and if he refused
to pay, I'd turn him in to the labor board and then I'd quit but just like MT world there will always be someone willing to work for free thus nothing ever changes with making employers do the right thing.
William Hung. see message for the juicy details.

I tell you I thought I died and went to Heaven when William Hung sung that song, Shake your bon bon!  


Ricky Martin, MOVE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!


Glad you had a good time. We just hung around the house.

Well, Saddam refused to allow the UN weapon inspectors to come in and
look for WMD's. This problem just didn't come up in recent years. These evil nasty my way or the highway countries have been causing trouble for millenia and will continue to do so until something is done about them - and done right. If you don't mind living under threat of terrorism, go ahead and sing your Girl Scout songs. Clinton didn't do squat regarding the Middle East. He didn't want to and he didn't know how to, so he chose to ignore it instead.
No, my turkey is still in my freezer. I refused to cook this year.
I'm either going to cook it at Christmastime or slap some Cajun sauce on it and BBQ when the 18" of snow melts.
That's true. My parents refused to fill out the FAFSA
because they weren't going to help me go to college at all. The school counselor just blew me off after hearing that. They wouldn't even talk to me at all and I couldn't qualify for anything on my own without my parents filling out that stupid form. "Adult" children are considered dependents by the government for financial aid considerations until they are either 22, have been married for a year, or have children. I was 18 and a high school graduate but still couldn't afford to go to college working two part-time jobs for a total of 50 hours per week. I wasn't able to go to college until after I was married with two kids to qualify for student loans.
The national I worked for refused to pay mine when I decided to move on for better pay.
Hope it works out for you!
