No one accused you of lying. This is not the first time

In Reply to: Saw them AFTER I posted! - GA MT

in the past few weeks where you have gotten comments to search the archieves of the company boards.   While I sympathize with you, it surely isn't our fault that you don't have work.   Post your resume on the job boards, answer all the ads on the job boards that you think you can handle the shift, the equipment, etc.  


With just about every company there are pros and cons, some people love it, some hate it, some just couldn't cut it and bad mouth the company and there seem to be no other posts to support claims.   This is the reason you need to read previous posts, to get the info and decide for yourself.   Only one person may post about the company you are asking for and it may be favorable, but that is only view point and may not be enough information or the type of information you were looking for.

Where in all these posts do you see what you just accused?
No one blamed George Bush for causing the hurricane, please stay on track.  But then again maybe your track is to divert the attention from the issue at hand, which is what needs to be done to change things for the future.  After all, if you don't accept that there is a problem, the problem will never get fixed.
I just did not want to be accused of being contradictory -
The other Amanda says she is a relatively new Transcriptionist and I have been doing this for 18 years - so if we post opposing thoughts/questions/comments/concerns, I did not want to get blasted for something I did not say.

Not a bad thing - there are always people with the same name - just did not want to have to defend myself one day against something I did not say and hope that the other Amanda will never have to do it either.

Have a great day!!!
Several have accused this poster of abusing her dogs.
I wouldn't take it personal. I just started reading this thread and this poster has been slammed from the beginning. I think I too would be a tad defensive at this point.
How they are lying to get them

They are claiming that the reason they want these normals is to benefit our fellow MTs, where that is not the case at all.  They are too lazy to make up normals, so they want ours to ship overseas for those people to use.  Can you believes the level these people are going.


Since when is lying against the law?

lying on the web
I talked to a recruiter once who told me she could do 700 lines an hour (no, that's not a typo) of straight typing (expanders only, no templates). That's right, girls. 700 lph.

Talk about feeling small! 700 lines an hour???? My best is 400 & I'm not doing that now because I'm not doing ops so it's much more straight typing, very little "template-able" text.

I posted about it at the time & everyone seemed to agree this was not do-able. So I don't know. Anyway, when I heard that I was ready to throw in the towel.
Sorry...but you are lying
Bringing home 1840 BEFRE taxes and being able to pay mortage or rent on your "nice 2300 sq foot home w/land" utilities, insurance, and food is not possible. So either you are not having to pay for a mortgage or rent or you have supplemental income. There is no where in this country one can live on their own for 11.50 hour
Why lying?
Why would you suspect the above poster is lying?  I have 2 transcription jobs; Employee $.095 line with benefits and IC $.10 per line.  These jobs are out there.  Yes, I have seen the $.06 per line jobs too and I always send the MTSO an email stating they should be ashamed of themselves.  I have yet to get a reply.
ONE other person? Now you're just LYING!!!!

Lie, lay, lying, laying
Can anyone recommend a website or reference for these words to clear them up once and for all in my head? TIA
He's lying. How would the "seasoned" MTs
What a jerk!!  At least make sure you let him know you think so!!
PS - It does matter if they are lying to you sm
It matters very much if they are "using" you and cherry picking to others. Trust a thief before you trust a liar. Either it is your account exclusively or they have to own up that they are getting cheap, not frugal, CHEAP! Not to mention sneaky liars that they are. At the time it goes to court, they will say they gave it to you and you "lost" it or you made that horrible mistake that made the patient sicker or killed them. I don't share my toys, that way they don't get dirty unless it's my own dirt.
Its the MQ way. I have my way of letting them know I know they are lying. I hate being BS around.
:
That's because they're either lying or delusional
So childish.
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...


A lying scumb bag boss having a mid life crisis

I used to work for an insurance agency and for the most part liked it and liked who I thought my employer was - it should be noted that this is a man I had known for 30 years and used to baby sit his kids when they were little.  Kids also worked in the agency.  Anyhoo, the business had been struggling - amazing how that works if you don't actually sell any insurance.  One day at the end of August 2007 he sat us all down and said he was merging/selling out to another agency.  He was assured of a place as a producer, but the rest of us would have to interview with the new agency and we may or may not have a job.  In his exact words "I'm throwing you all under the bus, and I"m sorry for that, but it's time to take care of Larry."    Well, all righty then.   Over the next weeks it was made very clear to me that I was NOT going to be offered a job at the new agency.


I went back to my desk right after the meeting and immediately started trying to figure out what to do.  I knew how to transcribe, having done that for years for an insurance adjuster.  I'm a wicked fast typist, too.  I really wanted to work from home and I REALLY wanted to never be in a position where I was at the mercy of a 57 year old man having a mid life crisis again.  I found an online MT course that day, and for the next month instead of working I studied the course at work and within a month after that got a job. 


It's amazing how things work out, though.  If dirtbag Larry hadn't done what he had done, I would not have had the flexibility to take care of my mom as she was dying.  So, really, it was a blessing.  I actually told Mom at one point that I should send him a note:  Dear Larry.  Thanks for being a pr!ck.  Love, Robin.


Mom didn't think that was as funny as I did.


I am NOT lying! It's the truth. I've received solicits from at least 8 people overseas.

Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...

newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)

I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.

There is a new classification called part time.

I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?

**yawn time for your bed time old thinker*
Hippie??  What pray tell is a hippie?  Im not judgmental..I dont care what another is partying about or with or whom they are with..Im not a cop or the warmonger in the White House..far be it from me to judge another..You, however, by your post seem to have grown old before your time..I recommend you just graze on your back yard grass and leave us **alive ones** alone..**yawn**, time for you to go to bed now, hun?  Bye..bye..old person..
I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
4 week's time or 4 weeks' time
Does anyone know this one. I will see the patient back in 4 week's time, 4 weeks' time or 4 weeks time. Can't seem to find this in any of my reference books. Thanks in advance.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
I never denied that I need a break from time to time, but
I was just stating how I took her post and the fact that I am worried about how my son will react since he is already getting quite upset. But, yes, any parent SHOULD be able to admit that they need a break from time to time...we're only human too! :)
even ISPs have to do maintenance from time to time--sm
and most do this during the wee hours of the morning when MOST people are sleeping and not using the internet. They need to upgrade their services and virus protection just like the home users. This is probably what occurred.
I recently requested time off for the first time...
(3 days off) and gave 2 weeks notice but was asked by my boss to give more notice next time.  I thought 2 weeks was decent, but next time I will give at least 30 days.
Do we enter each time there is a new prize, or just the one time?

thanks.

Utter waste of time, unless you have a lot of time--then have at it! nm

I've had 3 at one time, but only one open at a time. nm

Virtually never. Time spent doing that is time SM
that could be spent typing. Instead of stopping to listen, then typing to catch up, I scan AHEAD of the dictation as I type, looking for upcoming questionable areas.
Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc

1st time 22 (6 yrs). 2nd time 33 and 13 years.
Still going strong! 
SO the little one takes up your time yet you have time?
LOL
I have side this time and time again
It's crazy how these nationals or even smaller MTSOs think that we should be working set hours as an IC or even set lines as an IC.  I totally stay away from those companies.  Also, stay away from the ones that keep you on messenger (like Advanced in Oregon) or require you be logged in their platform, etc. or require a time clock as an IC.  This is against the law.  They cannot clock you and expect you to work certain hours under an IC status.  They are getting away with it though, time and time again.  It's a shame what we MTs put up with in this profession for pennies!!!
you have no time to switch from board to board? how can you have time to look for the drug?

Does anyone know if you are a part time employee for 1 company and part time IC for another can you
still claim deductions for IC on your income tax even though you are one of each.
Depends on how part time the part time jobs are.
You can do it. You just have to work out a schedule you can live with.
$32K/part time 6 months/full time 6 months
I have kept my child home with me half the year, but when pre-K started I began working full time. Helps to only have a main account and one backup account for the 2nd year now, so my abbreviation program rocks and rolls when I focus.
Maybe it's time to ask yourself
whether your better off with him or without him. It must be soul-destroying to live with someone who has no consideration or respect for you. There are men (strong, decent men) who respect their wives as partners and show them consideration. You don't have to live like that. You deserve better.
