and ask them why per contract I did not get the raise promised me in 90 days. I no longer work for them, but hey, I am not going to let this opportunity slip by.
It makes no sense to spend more money than the check was to get it to you and for a company to be that wasteful, you wonder what is in the back of their mind. For both you and me, good thing we did not go run and try to spend it in one place!
Something stinks there!

Have you thought about sending this letter & story
right, what with all the scams & skullduggery going on in American business, and so many other Americans losing their incomes.
I once contacted a local news station, and they called me back and were very interested in the story. But when they realized it was really only the tip of the iceberg, and that it would take a LOT of research and fact-finding before it would be ready to air, they said they didn't have the time or the manpower.
But 60 Minutes DOES have the time and the manpower. They spend months or longer researching their stories and interviewing people, etc. AND, it has a huge prime-time audience. The MT story, with its offshoring, sneaky hiring practices (i.e., like that conference teaching employers how to avoid hiring Americans!), numerous complaints of late or non-payment to MTs by MTSO's, private information going to less-than-upstanding foreign countries, etc., seems like something Diane Sawyer or Leslie Stahl would just love to sink their teeth into.
pathetic refund back to CEO
you go girl!! tell him you want your postage reimbursed - haha!!
I think I will be sending it back.
I noticed that the CD seems to "skip" over some questions or items that it used to ask.  Since I do a lot of searching on the 'net, I guess I will call this one a "not needed" item anymore. I just thought it would be a bit easier instead of going to the 'net to do a search...you know "information at your finger tips" type of deal.
Thanks for the input. I'm a little dissapointed in this version to say the least. I have no idea why they took a great product and ruined it.
sending back work
I have made it a point to learn the *hard* doctors, cause they are sent to me quite a bit, cause MQ knows I can do the *hard* doctors..Its crummy having to learn them and knowing you are losing money in the process but once you learn the *hard* doctors, you know the ones who are ESL or English as third or fourth language (smile), you can do them and then it is no big deal. Yesterday, I got a half transcribed report with at least seven blanks for Q/A..I was able to do the report with no blanks cause I have learned this doctor, who has what I think is a Middle Eastern French accent..He is quite hard but I can do him as I have learned him over the years (since 2000). Practice makes perfect and the way transcription is going with voice recognition, I think the only transcriptionists who will be left in the end are the ones who can do the ESL, mumblers, speed talkers or speech impediment doctors, the ones who voice recognition cannot do.
No, at this co. QA is good about sending back
that's the usual process so that we can listen to our errors. How do you ever learn if you don't see your errors?
You might be sending finished work back to an FTP site

I've worked for svl places that said to change it back to 100% before sending, so it must affect

Manager, if no help, never go back. write a letter saying why
be calm. depends on how big a *bad service* it was - the one I hate the most is where they act like they are doing me a favor to wait on me. That one I always report.
A while back I suggested we all write a letter to the editor about this . sm
I did, and they declined to print it. Evidently it's not a big issue in the minds of some. Individually we can't do anything about it. Perhaps collectively. We need a petition to go to ALL senators and representatives from our respective states, and none of this "anonymous" stuff, either.
Please back you info up. Pay cuts have not been announced. Have you received a letter? nm.
nm.
Sombeody actually wrote a really good letter to Advance a few issues back. sm
It was in the Jan. 12, 2009, issue, letter to the Editor titled, "What Good is Change for MTs?" by Wendy Keller. She does attack AHDI in a very intelligently written letter.
If it's a business letter you use a colon. if it's a personal letter you use a comma. nm

Refund
By law, the landlord has to have receipts and proof of their work and that the work was justified. If you feel you have been taken by your property management company, call your local Department of Professional Regulation (they monitor licensed real estate brokers and agents, among other professions) and tell them what your problem is. They can mediate in a situation like this and they will also ensure that the licensed real estate professional is acting in a legal and professional manner in handling your deposit. These types of disputes are VERY serious to this organization. Mishandling of tenant's deposits can get an agent or broker's license suspended or revoked. It's definitely worth checking out. Good luck to you!
Tax refund
My federal tax refund came within 7-10 days and my state came about 3 weeks later.
I don't want an exchange, I want a refund.
I'm not stupid and know how to configure the foot pedal. Even though I had done everything to get it to work, I still followed the directions of your company and it still would not work. I find it funny that one pedal doesn't work and one does, at least temporarily, and yet it is "my issue" and not yours. I have every e-mail and not once was it mentioned it was a software or computer issue. I've even had my IT guy work with it and he said it just isn't compatible, that there is a switch issue in the pedal most likely.
I'm through with this. I'll file my complaints as stated above, but I have better things to do with my time than to continue this. I stand by everything I have said.
1 cent refund
that is absolutely unbelievable -- they are totally out of it!! i would definitely be calling and asking what were they thinking?
Can you get a refund on your family??? LOL
Come to Texas!! Just the two of us (me and my roomie) and the pups, turkey, football, no rugrats this year (we're doing family Christmas tomorrow).
Seriously, sharing the Word is one thing, condemning others is God's place not a humans. Tell him you're engaged! Then, break the "engagement" the day AFTER Christmas LOLOL.
CH 13 bankruptcy & tax refund? anyone know? sm
Do you get back ANY of your tax refund? Who asks how much you got? and then what?
chapter 13 & refund
I am told that you have to send a copy to your Chapter 13 Trustee every year for three years. If you get a refund they will hold it -- which I think is fair and I have no problem them doing it as I want to pay off what I can to the creditors. You can get back part of the refund if you owe state or city taxes. Your friends did something wrong and fradulent. I have not heard of one who got back their entire refund but I don't know everyone. But my attorney definitely told me that for three years if I have anything coming, I will not get it. I work both as an employee and have my business. I just estimate and don't overwithold.
Rapid Refund
Has anyone tried any online rapid refund tax services.....
So obviously anyone entitled to a refund....sm
then will be eligible for this? I also know people who don't pay a dime all year and then end up getting a refund at the end of the year because of the earned income credit, etc. So those people will definitely get this, correct?
Tax break, tax refund
Yes, Bush is waiting on Congress to pass his emergency tactic to keep the economy from nose diving. He says this will stimulate the economy by us spending it. I say, it's another Bush tactic to try and stave off a recession while he is turning out his last days in office. I say, it is ridiculous. Take care of the infrastructure, the middle class, strength education, jobs, job retraining for older adults, etc., etc., etc.
quesion on tax refund
for those of you that filed early how long did it take for you to receive your tax refund check in your direct deposit account? Thanks! Trying to estimate when I can expect mine.
Are the people who are talking about a refund only the ones on DQS? (nm)
Tax refund is NOT abusing welfare. If you

Anyone efile with H&R? How long before you got your refund?
I efiled with direct deposit and am just wondering how long I'm gonna have to wait... the kiddies are hungry and the paycheck isn't cutting it.
12 cents. I'd love to make 12 cents. sm
a line as an employee. 17 years acute care experiencing doing all work types and I only make 9 cpl plus incentives.
They WILL refund your money as long as you complain
loud and long enough. I did and I got a refund. I turned around and plunked that money on the Career Step course and have been transcribing for 11 years since then. Good luck to you!
Get a refund? Check details of your auction
Hopefully your auction included the potenitality of a refund (buyer may or may not have known of a defect) and there is often a buyer's protection offered for items of this amount. Check out those possibilities quickly as you don't have unlimited time to make a claim.
I would unplug the C-phone and then unseat and re-seat all connectors. Make sure you have the connectors in the right way, and also of course check that volume control :) !
good luck.
I did it that way and had my refund in 5 days deposited into my account. sm
Your information is never truly safe from anyone; however, I think giving it to the government might be safer than not.
I have no qualms doing it.
Yes, write some letters to the Dell people....if you make some noise you will get your refund.
and mail/fax whatever-- get their attention....don't be outright nasty but you can get pissy a little. It will work and you will get your money back.
8 cents versus 9 cents
Wait a minute....9/55 is to 8/65....would not 9/55 be significantly higher pay than 8/64 (spaces are not counted in either case)?
8 cents a line. Should be 10 cents for over 10 yrs exp but

Sending ES?
I have .DSS files being sent to me via email. If I want to send them to another person's computer so that when I go there I can pull it up and transcribe from their house - is this a possibility? I can't seem to get ES to forward the actual .DSS file. I am so confused.
What has that got to do with sending
the work there. What about 911? That was a much, much, much larger scale event. Besides it seems like the target were American and British tourists.
They are all sending more to India

But don't you get grief for sending
too much to QA? I know I am only allowed a certain percentage, so I am still going back over the audio 2 or 3 times to try to stay within my allowed percentage (and why I have crap for production). However, I think it stinks that one could easily get a whole batch of dictations by the same nasty dictator and your sending-stuff-to-QA stats go down the dumper. And of course, the worse the dictator, the more he/she dictates and the longer they are, according to the MT Murphy's law!
Looking for suggestions on sending out
letters to local doctor offices looking for work. I have tried using flyers with no response and want to try a more professional letter letting them know that I'm available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
What is she sending you in the packages?
I know after I turned Focus down it took several months for them to leave me alone, but they never snail mailed me anything.
I agree with putting return to sender on whatever she is sending you and just add her emails to your spam mail.
re-sending reports
The company I work for has this problem. They came up with the following policy: We send you the work. You lose it, we resend it. We also bill you again for it. It has cut down on a lot of calls.
I think other way, for receiving not sending

Looks like that's only for sending, not receiving?

RE: sending files
filesanywhere.net
Why are we getting punished for sending things to QA?
We are paid by the line, it seems logical that if we cannot understand something, we shouldn't have to take the time as QA personnel because it affects OUR paycheck, not theirs! Otherwise, pay us by the hour, minutes tick tock away and so do our dollars and cents!
promptness of sending a check
you should know by now the only reason they're doing it is because of the MTs who are filing the lawsuit --- if no one was questioning it they would continue along their merry way miscalculating away!!
MQ doesn't know what THEY are sending out. They even call you to
It's all very dumb. I'd like to have the money for my paycheck they have wasted on this production.
It just is another dig to show MTs they have the power and we sit out here like hogs at the trough waiting for more scraps. I'm tired of it. I'm a professional or at least I used to be. My profession used to be respected. They do tricks like this and jerk us around and think it's cute. Well, here's a news flash - It Isn't Cute. And it certainly is not professional.
Absolutely, sending prayers their way.

What do you think about sending out Christmas cards with
a business card inside to solicit for local accounts? Tacky? Different? Original? I've got a list of small locals I'd like to solicit but was waiting until after the new year. Then I found a couple of boxes of Christmas cards that I bought on clearance last year. Why not kill two birds with one stone? Unclutter the Christmas box and send holiday greetings to potential clients?
Anyone being penalized for sending reports to QA?
I guess I have it all wrong when it comes to QA. I thought it stood for quality assurance. I send reports to QA when I have a blank. I put a blank when I am not 100% sure of what I heard, including the spelling of the patient's name. I want to make sure the patient gets their report typed up accurately. I want to turn in the best work I can do. Why is it that wanting a second set of ears to confirm what you thought you heard a bad thing ending up in being penalized or terminated if it goes beyond a certain %? I am very confused. I refuse to "guess" just to fill in blanks even if it means I will be fired.
sending/receiving dictation
I am looking at taking on another account. My account I currently have I did not have to set up the send/receive aspect because it was already done for me. My first client uses a software called Send-It. They upload the handheld recorder tapes onto the computer on thier end and it transfers to my FTP site. Now they do not make this software because it is not compatible with XP. Is there any software out there like this that is compatible with XP so I can let my new client know where to get it? He wants to do a call in situation, but I know nothing about this and would like to keep both clients the same. Thanks for any information!!
I don't agree w/ sending our jobs over there BUT
to me your logic makes no sense; we had the world trade center bombings here but that didn't mean that we weren't secure enough to handle transcription.....???
