I did not see it as an Indian country cheating - I saw it as an American cheating - see message
The way I understood that post was an American woman was getting the contract and then sending her work she was supposed to be doing to the Indian to do and then she was not paying them after they did her work for her.  I did not see that it was an American masquerading as an Indian or an Indian masquerading for an American - I think the poster was somebody that had been hoenstly cheated of a paycheck that they had earned - I may not agree with our work going to India, but if they do manage to get the work, they should be paid for it after they have done it.
If he were my child I'd home school in a nannosecond and here's why...sm

I don't believe in putting kids on antidepressants if there's a problem that can be addressed without medication.   With his medical problems that you mentioned he's probably having some kids at school harrass him.... and when he gets older he'll be able to select situations to get into that will limit this type of social trauma. 


With home schooling growing in popularity you can easily plug him in with others who are around his age and home schooling. Here in Georgia they've even gotten some home schooling football teams and bands up because so many kids are home schooled now to help them feel more like the "regular" kids.  


I have a child now that unless the public middle school is significantly cleaned up by the time she gets that age that I'll be home schooling her as there's no way in heck I'm sending her to that pit.   A lot of parents in my area home school their middle school kids because the middle school here is horrendous between the crappy teachers who don't give a toot, the bullying and overall poor attitude by a lot of people at that school.  Fortunately the demographics in our area are changing so hopefully as more expensive homes are built our county will put more emphasis on cleaning up this particularly bad school.  We'll see. 


i have 4 in school and only allow one activity per child per time. sm
oldest is just basically not involved as she wants to "hang out with friends" at games, etc. 10 and 9yo both are in cheerleading, practice 2 days a week for 2 hours, games on saturdays. 7yo in cub scouts, maybe one gathering a week at most. it is hectic enough just getting each child to where they gotta go, keep up with house, homework, chores, and work for me. no way, can we do more than 1 activity per child at any given time. nowadays they have homework 1-2 hours per night and highschooler with honors has sometimes 2-3 hours a night after being at school for what 8 hours....
My child worked part-time at 14 after school

She started at minimum wage and now is an office coordinator and medical assistant for 2 surgeons making much better money (and goes to school at night).  She didn't work at 14 to pay for her stuff.  She stashed all the money away as she had always done with birthday and holiday money and so at 17 she bought her own car!  This child amazes me - she GOT the work ethic!!!!  *lucky mom here*  Actually it was more than luck....it was hard work on my part but it ALL paid off.  A lot of it was based on my own insanity.  I had to know if, G_d forbid something happened to me, that she could support herself, take care of herself, earn a good living, and keep on keepin' on in a forward-moving pattern.  She is doing just that!!


Proud mother here....


what is an IEP? my child has dyslexia and i have a meeting tomorrow morning at the school. sm
we moved to a new school at middle semester last year. prior school had awesome dyslexia program. now the program is all a "tape" that they watch. no extra time to finish assignments, nothing. she went from A's and B's to failing since our move. how can i force this school to obtain a true dyslexia teacher to work with my child and surely other children that need help?
POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
Go to NBC10.com - Our local news has "Wednesday's Child" which is a child for adoption.
Every Wednesday they introduce a child who needs a home and a family. There should be some information there as these kids are up for adoption.

Hope that helps!
WRONG! A child that has a fear of discipline = a well behaved child.
I have a beautiful, intelligent 11 year old daughter that hasn't had a spanking in 6 or 7 years and probably only 3 her entire life. She is very well behaved and I get compliments on her behavior constantly. When she does get out of line all I have to say is, "Shall I call your father?" Call it what you want, it works. She respects and obeys me and her father. Why??? For fear of the facing the consequences of misbehaving. Having a total lack of fear or respect for authority is exactly what's wrong with Generation X/kids today. I turned out just fine as did my siblings. Why?? Because my parents took "time out" to bust our a$$es whenever we got out of line.

Is that clear enough for you???
Who is cheating who then?

Not cheating
I didn't mean to sound like I was trying to cheat and you didn't have to be so nasty. I did NOT "choose" to retire. My daughter and son-in-law are on their second tour in the resort community of Baghdad. His mother and I are sharing raising their three girls.  My company sent all their work to India and I could not find work at the age of 63 that would pay what I had been making. Now that I am getting my social security, I am only allowed to make $900 a month and I think I will make too much as fast as I type. I am trying to work 20 hours because I want to and need to, but I am not going to throw my granddaughters away while their parents are fighting on their country's orders.  I simply cannot work full time while they are over there. My son-in-law's mother cannot quit or retire. She is too young and is single. Don't be so hasty to judge people, lady. My question was how does it work with being an IC, not how to cheat!!! I read somewhere that you can have your husband's taxes withheld at a higher rate and I read it on THIS board. That is not CHEATING. I just wanted to know how it works. If all I can type is $900 a month, obviously I don't want it all going out to taxes and I was trying to see how that other lady did it. I'm glad your life is so perfect that you can sit back and accuse other people of cheating. Are YOUR kids over their facing death every day? I am TRYING to work!
Not cheating but ....
All that has been said on here is that you can have your husband overwhold to pay your tax liability as you file joint at the end of the year.  But if you chose to retire and can now make only $900 a month but need more than that to tale care of your grandchildren, sorry but it is your problem.  Have your daughter and son-in-law pay you.  Not trying ro sound cold or callous but you chose to retire early to do this.  I am sure that one of them could have gotten out if the other went.  But the guidelines say such and it is such.  No way around it unless you work under the table.  Good luck. 
And there are those who are cheating by
adding lots of extra spaces in the report where there should be blank lines. This adds to the line count and not visible unless formatting is turned on in Word.

There are many ways to cheat the system, but everyone is accountable for their own soul in the end.

Respect is what we should be striving for, and then and only then will our income increase. Doctors have no respect for us because we have sunk to the lowest of the lows.
I'M NOT CHEATING
EXCUSE ME FOR ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION ON A COUPLE OF THINGS. I WAS NOT ASKING FOR THE ANSWERS. I FOUND THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE I WAS RESEARCHING AND SOMEONE CAME ONTO THIS WEBSITE WITH THE EXACT SAME QUESTIONS I HAD ON SOME THINGS OTHER THAN WHAT I NEED NOW AND SHE WAS GIVEN THE ANSWERS. I HAVE BEEN COMPLIMENTED ON MY RESEARCH SKILLS FROM THE INSTRUCTORS AND HAVE STRAIGHT As. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HEARD SOMETHING RIGHT ON THE TAPE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A PLACE TO GET SOME ADVICE. I RESENT THAT ANYONE SAYS I AM CHEATING. I WOULDN'T DO THAT. I CAN RESEARCH. THANKS FOR NOTHING.
Most companies consider that cheating and
the e-mail was very, very misleading by trying to make everyone think this person typed this much.   What low class company this must be to resort to this out and out lie by management. Anyone that goes to work for them after reading this gets what they deserve.  
check for cheating us
i agree with you completely -- the check is valid for 180 days, so i'm holding off until I get verification on how they got the figures that I'm satisfied with and what the lawyer's come up with. They're so underhanded that if that lawsuit does become a class action lawsuit their lawyers would probably come up with some kind of excuse saying that you're disqualified if you did cash that check indicating that you were okay with their figure.
Cheating = anything you're doing with
a member of the opposite sex that you are hiding from your spouse because you know he/she will be hurt by it and find it out of bounds.

That includes with a live person over the internet, on the phone, or in person.

If you don't want DH to know about it, you're cheating.
cheating/infidelity
It would be hard to forgive.... however, there are various reasons people cheat.  Perhaps the couple have lost touch with each other, perhaps the other person withholds intimacy.  In my estimation there is a reason people cheat. I think most women do because they are lacking or neglected in their marriage by the husband.. ie.  he is never around, he ignores his wife like she isn't there, has priorities that are not healthy for the marriage.  I am not saying all this stuff makes it right.  But when a person's heart is not tended to, just plants are not taken care, they wither and die a little bit everyday, thus leaving a person empty, lonely, and afraid.  When the heart is not taken care of, a little bit of life is gone from a person until the begin to feel cheated and neglected.   A man can take care of things at home for his wife, do dishes, fix this, fix that, but in the end is that enough to keep you heart nurtured? 
Is using a timer cheating?
I work on production only.  I do have a set schedule, but the company I work for is fairly flexible.  I have started using a timer where I set it for 60 minutes and stop it if I am interrupted, have to get up, etc.  This gives me a more accurate picture of exactly how much I can type in an hour.  Is this cheating not to just go by clock hour?
Not so. That's not cheating you in any fashion.
However the MTSO chooses to contract with dictation providers is up to them.

The MT's only concern is the contract between their own services and the MTSO.

If she wants to charge the client by the page and pay the MT by the character, that's fine.

MTs have GOT to get over this idea that they are the end-all/be-all ... that every decision should be made around them and include them. Not true.


The big companies are cheating themselves, as well.
The pay big money for all the equipment & software to speed up TAT, and then sell themselves cheaply to the hospitals by allowing themselves to be dragged into a price-war. Hiring offshore MTs just compounds the problem. If they had stuck with US MT's, kept the work onshore, and kept their prices at US levels instead of Third-World levels, they'd be rolling in $$. Unfortunately, just because one is in a CEO or management position, doesn't necessarily mean their IQ matches their overstuffed pay envelopes. And in most cases, it doesn't even come close.
The big companies are cheating you?

and have never met you?  They have maybe talked with you on the phone.  They give you vacation time.  I just don't get it.  An IC might gain an account for 14 cpl with an office.  The national is only charging say 10 or 11 because they can afford to since they have platforms and the ease to take on high volume.  They pay you 7, 8, or maybe 9, provide benefits, yet the MT feels cheated? 


I totally agree that quality matters, but when you are an hourly employee you don't feel that pressure of TAT.  Also, the raises aren't there either.  So, you wind up working making the same paycheck even though you are still typing an 8-hour day and just as tired.  Production makes you more $$$ no matter how you slice it.  I've done both, and production is better believe me. 


Read again, I'm not the one who actually said you were CHEATING....
However, you did say, and I quote:

**I need a few more answers on some of the dictation for the final. If you are out there reading this and can help me, please let me know. It is just a few clarifications on things I have researched and just can't find. I need to do great on this final.**

Now, I am not the one who called you a cheater, but you might have wanted to word the above differently, as you did say you needed ANSWERS and needed to do great on this final. I'm just saying.......

Good luck to you I really hope you do well.
cheating lines
Please tell me how you figured that out. I've been very suspicious about my company as well. I keep track of everything, the number of the report, where the report was sent, status of uploaded or not and number of lines; however, if they are fudging you, it won't show up on your line count that you see. It will mean that they have messed with the counting system on the software. People are very sneaky and cruel. I've been doing this for 25 years and cannot get above 100 lines an hour. Now, tell me how that's possible what with using short cuts, etc. Please let me know so I know what to look for. Thanks
YOUR lying, cheating snake....
lied us into a war with over 3500 American SOLDIERS dead, and going on a trillion dollar cost. No wonder bridges are falling down - the U.S. has been neglecting infrastructure needs in favor of militarism for MANY decades.

That said, give the "sex lie" diatribe a rest: Nobody died when bush's predecessor lied...

Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Even Bush admits that now.

They used the fear and outrage from 9/11 to lie about WMD in Iraq - and to then JUSTIFY invading Iraq in order to steal it's resources. Deal with it.

BOTH PARTIES are corrupt - but its the evil in office now whose lying should concern *all* patriots the most - because OUR country is in crisis - regardless of party we all should step up and demand our policies change.

As to you flip comment about knowing what's going to happen with the weather? Give that a rest, too. there is all KIND of documentation showing THIS admnistration prefers to fund FAKE wars instead of take care of the people at home. He was warned about 9/11, failing levees in New Orleans BEFORE Katrina, AND crumbling infrastructure like the BRIDGE in MN.

In fact, he CUT FUNDING FOR THE LEVEES in New Orleans THREE YEARS RUNNING before Katrina.

Please do your homework before you defend *any* administration. Don't rely on PAID radio or TV personalities to tell you what YOU need to know in order to protect YOUR country from bad administrations. They have an agenda and trust me PROPERLY informing you is not part of that agenda.

And yes, I know this thread is turning into a topic for the other board...


That's called cheating and scamming and
Talk about unethical and criminal.

Falsifying payroll records, etc.


Hopefully you're not cheating on an employment test, right?
shame on you
Wealth/Shrinks/SATs/Cheating
This has been occurring forever in another way - hiring a shrink to get your child an appropriate score to be placed in the ADVANCED classes and keeping others out who bust their butts to make honest A's.  Went thru this with my own children...who were gifted in some areas, not as great in others, but certainly not slow, and working hard to make the A's and B's.  You can pay a shrink to give them that IQ score they need that puts them in the "click" in this area.  It's okay though.  My kids have done great regardless and don't give a @#$ about clicks and who owns what!
I needed to divorce cheating DH of 27 years. This was

I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school

The cost of running a private school or any school is expensive....
Why do you think public schools are so run down and can't find good teachers?  Because the government and people to not put forth the effort or $$$$ to improve the educational system.
I see you are caught in

already.


In some offices you continually run out of work - and MQ gives you


no policy in writing as to what your rights are or what they will


provide in the way of "buffer".  All they do is say "we can give you more


accounts".


Well, sitting in front of a computer 24 hours a day and still not finding


enough work on dozens of accounts is not being a good business


person.


Having an account or else built in protection for times when there is no work


is BEING A GOOD BUSINESS PERSON.


Even if you are an employee, and there is no work, suddenly you find you


are RESPONSIBLE for the huge medical insurance bill - for several pay periods "because you didn't meet your line requirement"


I'm telling you, this company needs to either standardize it's politicies and


be up front with what they do, or forever go through the system as being


utterly slippery and underhanded, and deserve the reputation they so


deservedly have right now.  Of course they have their own agenda and could


care less about posters like me who have been through the drill until I was ground


down into the ground and broke, because they are "using" MTs to position themselves into the world of VR.  And it will have been done on the backs


of many MTs who lost it all thinking at some point MQ would finally "do right"


They haven't and probably will never.


So my advice is, if you can't get some policies in writing from whereever possible


(New Jersey just flips you off, so don't waste your time there), don't invest too


much in this company as you will be at their mercy and feel like you are never on solid ground financially.  It is not a company to work for if you need the


money for a living.  It is merely to pick up pocket change.



What caught my eye was sm
"it's a teaching hospital". Been there, done that. Get ready for ESLs that change every year. You might like it, but you'll earn every cent. On the plus side, you'll learn so much more than with a nonteaching hospital, which is good. Let us know what you decide.
AVG has caught several
viruses. I also run online scans on sites like Trend Micro, Panda, etc., on occasion just to double-check the effectiveness of AVG & make sure it hasn't missed anything. I've been using AVG free for about 10 years I guess and, like I said, AVG has caught several viruses and I've never once had a crash or lost anything in all these years due to viruses, and I've turned all my friends and family onto AVG free & they've never had any issues with viruses, so I have to say that I'm extremely happy with it, especially considering it's free... Doesn't get any better than that! ;)
Absolutely, because if they are caught twice, they've probably done it

Maybe I caught him at a bad time or maybe he is
going through some personal problems in his life that he is carrying over into the workplace.  In any event, I could not foresee a good working relationship with this individual in the future.
You are offshore and got caught.

Missed most of it but what I caught was fun!!
t
My son is only 7, so he hasn't caught on yet
that I'm not talking to him. He still says "what" all the time...lol. So, I'll look at him and say, "do you know what flagginationalization means?" Cracks him up every time.
caught off gaurd

I started with a new company about 40 days ago - I trained on one account for about three days and the was given two docs to do with really no training only a manual.   I have been doing them for about 35 days.  My first QA score about ten days or so after the start of these docs was 96%,  my second on 5/20 was 98%.  I really have not gotten any negative feed back other than some format issues which were worked out quickly.  I have been meeting my TAT, proofing and covering what they asked.  There has not been any complaint that has been brought to my attention that I can pinpiont.  This past weekend, I got sent a whole bunch of work to help cover someone on vacation, my work was pushed back by my QA and supervisor.   Needless to say my accounts were not very happy and were not told in advance.  This evening I get a call from the supervisor saying that due to a call from the docs office about poor TAT and quality she was removing me from the account.  I have an email this same supervisor sent me from the docs office dated June 5 saying the account was finally looking up.   I asked the supervisor to pinpoint the issues but she was not able to at this time and told me to hold tight until she gets some more info.   I don't know what to think. Any opinions or suggestions???


 


 


Okay, I'm caught up to the posts below
.
I have no idea about his being caught but
working from home I kept my eye peeled for the report and checked every so often. You know the time frame as far as dictating- what 24 hours? This was 8 months later. If he did to me, well you know the rest. Like I said, he personally called me from another sister hospital 2 times and very incensed that I would even approach mediation at the hospital. Of course when I took my story there along with the documentation, he refused to comment on it, denying all. I at that time could not afford to lose my job so I could not press on with it. Called several attorneys and each one said no one would be on my side being as this was an elective procedure I chose and a face lift at the same time so dead end for me.
I don't think everything is caught - like the job resumes
with addresses like Mumbai, Hawaii.  Could it be a name, not a place?
Sweet. Someone caught it ;-)
All is write with the world now.

Seriously, though, can we let the poor woman vent without picking on her grammar?
Thank goodness you caught it and not QA
 thanks for the chuckle
LOL.... caught me off guard...
nm
I hope she's caught too...
I'm also 40-50 miles from this woman. I hope she's caught and put away for this. Thanks so much for warning us that this is going on.
It just caught me off guard. I really wasn't trying to
criticize. Sorry!
I only caught bits and pieces of it, but sm

I didn't see anything offensive that should generate such a stink.  My BIGGEST gripe is with people who come out hating something, expressing an opinion about something they have never even SEEN!


The little bit I saw, it looked like a man dealing with "normal" family situations -- let's face it, it is not unusual nowadays to have a gay son, or become addicted to prescription meds, etc. -- ministers are not immune.   I am a Christian and love the Lord, and I was not offended by anything on the show.  And even if I was, it is not my place to tell others what they can and cannot watch.  We all get to "vote" with the flick of a channel.


Thanks, will do. About 3 nights ago my Norton caught
Did you notice the Feb 3 date?  That would be this coming Friday.  Wonder how our various transcription companies are going to fare?  ugh.  I hope they don't crash. 
My husband caught a doctor...sm

actually dictating in a hospital and heard him say at the end to scratch all that and started over! He felt so bad for the poor MT who would be doing him. He also was an extremely slow dictator, so it probably took her forever! He's also heard some fast dictators and would let them know after they finished that someone has to actually transcribe that. Go hubby!


Like a good MT, I caught MY mistake and
