A tactic...
Crying ''racist'' is an attempt to intimidate the other person into shutting up.
scare tactics?
Oh my gosh, scare tactic?  Not at all.  I just figure if MQ reads this board and they see there is gonna be a work-out/walk-out in October, they might think they need to do something too.  I have had experiences with hospitals that I worked for trying to unionize and also have seen retaliation from the CEOs office.
that would scare me too but obviously mom is either confident in her sm
driving skills, doesn't care, or hasn't experienced a loss to make her stop and think. i on the other hand have a 14-1/2yo who i let drive around quite a bit (although i wouldn't let a little child like that in there) but i am very confident in her driving. i choose to let her drive now as i feel the more experience she gets with me, the more experience she will have when she is on her own and the more confident i will feel with her skills/reactions. i lost my sister when she was 21 to a drug in a car accident so i am very leary when it comes to young ones and driving. i think the laws should be 18 or maybe 21, LOL.
I don't think there is a revenge tactic here--sm
and I think that, okay, let's put it this way. Say, per chance, you wrote a book. It is copywrited by you because you WROTE it, even though you may have used quotes from others within it. Suddenly one of the people you quoted within your book wants the manuscript and all financial rights to it, just because he/she was quoted within the book. The writer wrote the book, the quotee did not. Why should the author of the book hand it over just because somebody wants it. That is what copywriting laws were made for...to protect those who did the work. If this doctor expects her to hand over her macros just because he SAID those things in dictation, he is very wrong. He did not do the work. She did. Do you really have any idea how long it takes to create a group of samples? The ones I have took me three years to group together, and I did those, not the doctor. Me. I would not hand them over to anybody for any *line charge* because it is MY work, not theirs. Let them create their own. If you built a house, that is YOUR work, and you should not be expected to hand it over to just anyone who wanted it. Same thing.

I think it would be like the Prozac scare...
People susceptible are going be the ones who are in danger from it.

One of my BFFs from elementary school, who lost her 40-yo husband to lung cancer 2 years ago and yet was still unable to quit swears by Chantix. It finally got her off the cigs about 9 months ago for good.
sounds like a bargaining tactic
The overseas ones have been doing it for less than 3 cpl, not 8. Sounds like she was just saying she could send it over there if you didn't jump on that wonderful chance! (yeah right). I have noticed on the Indian ads that they are coming up in their pricing now.
I work an account that the doctor names scare you half the death, sm
all foreign names, but the voices are pure heaven - very clear and good enunciation, even the one that have a tangible accident. I feel lucky to have an ESL account like that.

I know a PA from South Carolina at a hospital I used to work at that would bring you to tears. ESL is not necessarily a bad thing.
