    and youre perfect, congrats.
      You're a genius!
    but youre still giving them your money...that is not the answer sm
    Just dont go to the fastfood joints that practice this at all...it's that simple.  You better believe I'll be finding out who's taking my order before I eat out again!
    If your just working for health insurance, then youre
    And that, m'dear, is a big part of the problem in this profession. Women who won't stand up to anyone, and pretend to be happy for the crusts of bread they're tossed while shackled to their PCs.
    did you google for hyperbaric oxygen in ***, name of town or county where youre moving? sm
    might have to start wtih the state and narrow it down from there, too.
    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.
    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.
    :
    No one accused you of lying. This is not the first time

    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. 


     


    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.

    I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
    It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
    Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is

    if that is all they WANT to type.   Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?


    You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones.   Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between. 


    When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
    leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
    The person MTSO pays is the person who
    dsf
    One person's "custom" is another person's
    "house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.

    Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.

    I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
    i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
    I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
    Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
    any money.  You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude.  Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money.  I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl.  I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl.  But I'm not sitting around whining either.  And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
    The one person I know who his doing VR....
    isn't filling in words, she's having to reconfigure and restructure to the entire report, to the point it would be much easier and faster to just transcribe it.  And over several months' time, it hasn't gotten one iota better.  I'll believe the "fill in the word" editing when I see it.
    like the person below said------

    no friend of medical transcriptionists for one thing


    and when I met her my only thought was well that must have been


    the personification of Marian the Librarian.


    I would have thought she'd have retired to a garden pruning weeds by now and gotten her extremism out of our lives.  But no such luck.


    This person cannot
    do anything unless he has a document that was signed by your daughter indicating that he loaned her money using the motorcycle as collateral.  To get this person to leave you alone, you may want to have an attorney give this person a call to pose this question (regarding signed doc).  I have had a situation occur, not necessarily like yours, but I needed an attorney to write a letter in order to cease the situation and the attorney only charged my $50.  The letter took care of the problem. 
    This person (Taz) is
    a perfect example of what I just stated.  This world is going to hell in an elaborately decorated hand basket. 
    So one person (YOU) is MOST MT's?
    I make more than you do anyway and I left MT so LOL yourself and good luck finding a job in 5-10 years when this one goes the way of the mule skinner.
    wonder if it's the same person?
    From VA?

    QA person here(sm)
    I QA by cutting and pasting the error; preferably as much of the sentence as I can so they at least have an idea of what I am correcting and why. I also cut and paste my corrections. I also give them hints on how to research, including links.

    I'm not sure that (d) up there sounds very nice. New MTs CAN be taught a great deal, but to have that "edge" on them only scares them more. I've been on both ends, as a beginning MT and as QA. I remember the feedback that helped me most and it was often delivered in a friendly helpful manner, no warning shots, etc.
    As the other person said, Go For It!
    It was supposed to be a 2 year course at the Community College, but the way that the courses were setup and with working, took me 2 1/2 years. Not bad for an *ol' gal!*  Was just very proud of myself because at the time, I had a hunch that some people around me were thinking *she'll never do it,* and I did, with flying colors!!  I'm sure you have some support behind you, so you should be good to go!!  Anyway, if you don't do it, you'll always be wondering *what if,* so just do it!!  Like a friend asked me, "But I'll be 10 years older when I finish?!"  My answer, "You'll be 10 years older if you don't."  LOL!
    I'm not so sure it's that person....sm

    It could be anyone of about a hundred malcontents.  You cannot *assume* on these boards - only the Administrator and Moderators could verify if it's that poster or not.  Personally, I don't care who the posters are in reality.  I just think what with all the strife going on in the world EVERYWHERE that people/posters should just be a tad kinder in the life. 


    Envy is fine - envy is like you're happy for that person but wish you were *there* - whereas jealousy (albeit it might be universal) is very unhealthy and nasty, negative, and people wishing to take other people down notches by posting nasty remarks.  Oh well, some people just are more comfortable with the negative and nasty in life (guess their cups are always half empty) - but some of us choose to be positive and not nasty (cups being half full).  It's all a matter of choice.


    Take care and have fun!!

    QA person from MQ please

    Hi I have a friend considering changing compaines and coming in as a QA person.  She is on the fence can anyone give me some feedback is MQ QA any good, what and how do they pay...Do they treat you ok?  She is in the grass is greener syndrome working at another co.  I just left MQ for another field I wasn't happy as an MT.  Trying to help out a friend thats all..


    QA Person
    Thank you so much! I feel so much better having heard from you today. I have had the hyphen battle with this person in QA forever it seems and I have continued to follow as shown in the Book of Style. In my heart of hearts I felt I was correct. I plan to take your much appreciated advice and keep typing it the way I have been. I am so thrilled to know that a person in QA agrees that at times the MT gets mixed signals. Now I do not feel so alone. At times I wonder if some people in QA forget how it was before they were in those shoes. I have 2+ years experience and at times I still feel like a newbie fresh out of school. Just wish some QA would be more tolerant -- especially when the MT really does follow the Book of Style. Thanks again!!! Bless you!!! Wish you were my QA . . . at least you seem like you can still relate to how difficult the MT work can be on the otherside of the fence.
    Said something about 6 cpl from a person
    whose English was atrocious. This person really should pay someone to hire them.
    This person is not looking for *help*. sm
    She is looking for employees by asking for help and then sending you an email asking for your resume. something suspicious here.
    this person is probably just......
    trying to protect his or her own job security, so the company does not get job overhire! I would probably do the same. I found my own really good job after 7 years of searching, and I LOVE IT!
    I'd tell her RIGHT NOW that the person isn't
    if you are going to continue to proof her work.  No sense in dragging it out.  If someone is going to make it as an MT, you know that fairly quickly.
    Please tell me what a person is doing
    when the scope is used. I have seen it and do not know exactly what they are doing. Thanks.
    You are not the same person.

    Maybe the only person they could get who would - (sm)
    "speak for 6 cents a line?"


    MT person

    Well in 4 hours I did over 1600 lines @.125 per line plus one hour of printing and delivering and that equals over $200 which equals $40 to $50 per hour.


    And to think we would allow this person to

    The person who said she could do 700 lph

    I got one from the same person
    Named Susan also written very poorly and asking odd questions. It's aggravating!
    from a QA person
    A lot of the changes you see are out of our hands.  Where I work, the management people change their mind weekly, mark this, no don't mark it, mark that, no don't.  Plus remembering what to mark for offshores (who get their little hands held) and what to mark for ICs.  Yes there are some QA people out there who get on a power trip by making you feel bad.  If everybody followed one set of rules, such as the book of style, we wouldn't be having these problems, and neither would you.  It's such a pain in the tush, if my hands weren't so bad, I'd go back to transcribing!!
    It was always run by the same person...
    She just lied and said it was all American. It was just officially taken over when she screwed people over with not paying them.

    Same person set the site up and ran the site, she just put her name on it. So, if you supported it 2 years ago or 3 years ago, it's no different than now. The only thing that's changed is she doesn't have access to your stuff anymore.
