Let me be clear, keywords are NOT just services, there are many keywords on a variety of topics.

Also, because this is a new feature, we are adding keywords daily.  For example, we started out with about a dozen, that has grown to about 30 now.  It's an ongoing process and it was designed for you, the MTStars visitor.


Re: 9 cents/line, the keywords here are * to START* - (sm)
as even that is not nearly enough. I'm currently at roughly 9-9.5 cpl, and nowadays that just doesn't cut it. How anyone can get by on less than that is beyond me! The average pay for a good MT should be closer to 12-15 cpl (what most hospitals are getting charged.) The MT co's should charge the docs & hospitals more than that so that they can pay their MTs a living wage. Look at what hospsital charge for a single x-ray. Or a tampon. Or an aspirin. Look at what the docs get paid just to sit on their butts and dictate. Charge 'em more, they can afford it.
Verbally and physically abusive to all of you -- sm
That's the line that jumps out at me in your post. I know you're scared, but you've got a responsibility to your children and yourself to leave if this is true.

Start planning. Contact your YWCA. They have free counseling. If there's no YWCA near you, look in the phone book for other numbers. Women like you leave their abusive spouses all the time, and they have children just like you do. There are resources. Courage, lady. Bolster yourself up and find them. You have to do this for your children and yourself regardless of fear.

Hugs and prayers...
abusive relationship ruining mt career

I had an extramarital affair.  I deeply regret it and am trying to get my life straightened out.   I ended the affair and I believe this man wants to see me lose everything out of spite and revenge.  I had to quit my last MT job because my computer was hacked and had alerted the company there was a security problem and then a bunch of personal correspondence with this man got uploaded to the company server via "technical assistance" on the phone.  I have had harassing phone calls as well and calls that were programmed in my autodial end up at the wrong number or playing Mexican music, etc.  I went to the sheriff's department and they did believe my situation, but said there is little I can do about it without filing a report.  I do not want to appear spiteful or vengeful, but may have to file a report against this man, but he lives in another state.  I just want to put my life back together.  I fear with my computer tapped and my phone calls screened I will be unable to secure another job or get the harassment to stop.   I have three firewalls on my computer am rural and had to work via satellite.  I live in a small town with little opportunity.  I am going to lose everything if I cannot work as an MT.


Any MTs victims of domestic abuse and had to deal with anything similar?


If someone is sabotaging my career what am I to do?


 


That's still no excuse to be rude and critical, or abusive
to others.
Don't mind extra work as long as it is not abusive
I used to always work my shift and then try to do 2-3 early Sunday mornings.  I was stopped from doing that because we could not work more than 40 hours.  If there is help needed after my 40 hours I certainly do not mind helping out when needed - as long as this does not become abusive and you are expected to be available 10, 12 or more hours a day, night, and weekends.  I have been there and it just got out of hand.  I am comfortable with less than 50 hours a week.
