sorry, you are assigning human logic/emotions to animals...

Posted By: get real on 2006-03-26
In Reply to: Enjoying the slaughter Canada? - Canadian NAWT

seal mothers do not go nearly insane with fear and pain as they watch their babies being clubbed to death in front of them. - you've got to be kidding. Animals are incapable of the complexities of logic and emotion to get to that conclusion. If you want something to be frantic about, go to Africa and see the abandoned newborn infants piled in chicken wire crates in the hospital. Let's get priorities in order and no, a boy is not a dog or a pig or a rat.

Call human resources. I called human resources about it. Sooner or later they will get tired of the
calls and do something about it. Safety in numbers. I have called twice. I forgot to mention the assinine QA point plan though. Mostly I bitched about the no work thing. Told them the new pay plan based on incentive is another joke with no work. Cant make incentive with no work.
people just have strong emotions on it...it seems to be
a healthy discussion to me, albeit controversial...
"just not right"... can't let emotions speak
As I was re-reading the letter because I really like it, we can't let emotions get in the way. You think polititions have morals? let's be serious. I think just stating the facts of why this is not in the United States' best interest is the best way to go. Basically the legal ramifications and the facts you mentioned about the English Language, etc. are all good points
Yes, I would be very angry. Men do not run businesses with emotions - they don't care! nm

Assigning the dictations............sm
SO RIGHT:
' The Leads (MTs who assign the work) have to get their lines in, too, and no doubt they're not keeping the ESLs for themselves......'

When I got a lot of crappy dictations in my queue, I complained about this and asked WHO assigns the work, who gets the crap and who gets the good ones.
I was told that it is NOT assigned at ALL, the oldest is picked first out of the pool and so on, and that it is all random and nobody is favored.
Now I read in this post that the Leads (team leads ?) distribute the reports. Who are they? The owners, the supervisors or the QAs?
I had once an argument with a QA about grammar and I was right and she was wrong, and from that moment on I got the crappiest crap of the crap into my queue.


assigning work
I agree with you to an extent...this is how it goes with the company I work for:  QA DOES have the opportunity to assign work to the "MT" and there is the "Team Lead" who can assign the "MT" into whatever pool of work he or she pleases to do so.  The aftermath would be that the "MT" will be given the crappy work regardless.  I love the company I work for, but in the last month, there is a new "Team Lead" who is not playing fairly!  I have contacted the ower of the company regarding this and hopefully things will be done right.
Assigning Can Also Be Good News s/m

My office assigns work to me, and in DocQScribe, they come up with a little "R" next to the job number for "routed".  Periodically, they are nasty and were obviously attempted and jettisoned by someone else.  More often, however, they are a bank of reports for a particular dictator, who I suspect has gone through the channels and whined and wants all their reports NOW.


The pros of this situation:


One dictator for 10 reports means I can fly through because they're probably saying the same things over and over.  Or at least I can get used to their style and plug away.


Sometimes the group I'm routed is awesome: seven podiatry surgeries or consults in a row.


I like to think that things are routed to me because my office knows I will sit still and type until every one of them is done.  I'd like to think they can count on my accurancy and efficiency.


I take it as a compliment.  Maybe it's intended that way for you too, even when it sucks rocks.  My partner gets nasty, nasty dictators routed to her sometimes because she's one of the few people who can do them and refrains from whining.  Building goodwill with your MTSO pays off in odd little ways in the long run.  And again, while it sucks for you, it might your strong work ethic and accuracy that leads your supervisor to believe you are the one for these jobs.  Take heart!

By applying your logic, that would mean that those of you
on this board who hate George Bush actually want to sleep with him?  Ewwww!
Let's apply your logic here once again.
OK.  So now people who don't like skanky celebrities think the celebs are their friends?  ROFL!  Please, keep posting.  It's quite amusing.  The more you post, the more you reveal your own crazy thinking.  Must be why you like Angelina so much.  She's some hotty kinda nutjob, eh?  Birds of a feather flock together.  Chirp, chirp! 
You know what? That kind of logic SM

is completely hosed up!  Why would she do that?  Because she's gay?  Would you automatically assume a man would do that to the women on the show because he's straight?


C'mon...grow up, will you? 


Jeesh! 


Thank you, at least one person with a logic.....sm
How can one explain that the opinion of the majority is not always right, especially if no justification is given.
That's faulty logic. You are paid less as an
contribution in reality.
Merge eFilm/RIS Logic is the best
software I've used for radiology. Most of the others I've used have fallen far short.


my thinking lacks logic??? You are the one sm
that posted that I should teach and guide and start my own school. I am just repeating what you said. Your posts lack logic. Have you read them?
Huh? Your logic is amusing. She deserves Americans looking for her?
That's just not how its done, as the poster below for eloquently explains!
I have to disagree with faulty logic response. (sm)
I'm being paid more as an employee than I was as an IC. On top of that, 75% of my insurance is paid for plus my taxes are taken out. I get paid time off and paid life insurance. Even if I was being paid less I'd still be making out if you look at the big picture.
Your logic loses water in several ways. SM
Wal-Mart, years ago, was famous for only selling American-made products.  THAT promoted capitalism on many levels, and RIGHT HERE IN THE US, not China, which is where they buy most of their goods.  So who is getting rich here?  It certainly isn't companies in the US who provide goods to Wal-Mart because very few of their goods come from the U.S.  Also, they pay their employees very low and treat them badly.  They have at least one class action discrimination suit against them. And let's not forget the numerous suits for hiring illegal aliens to clean their stores and LOCKING THEM IN!!!  Also, did you even read the article Rad Guy posted?   If you did, and you still defend them, even as a devil's advocate, that says a lot about you.   By the way, I don't shop there and haven't for a long time. 
When one cannot win an argument with logic they resort to name calling.
They can't help themselves. It's instinct (hee).
then, by extension of your logic, IS THERE a right career for this woman at this time? sheesh.

Human? - sm
To err is human...to scam is criminal....and she will be brought up on charges this time, I will make sure of it.
You must not be a human being.
If you knew a patient's life was in danger you would not be at all concerned?
that is verbatim. QAs are only human too. nm
 
Human responses?

Actually it is the height of human
We are poisoning the earth and ourselves. Nature is amazing in her resilience, but do you know how long it takes the ecosystem to recover from fires and floods? Did you know that fire retardant has been found in human breast milk? What about the amount of pesticides and chemicals in the bloodstreams of infants and children? Denial is the only thing scarier than that. Do the research, it will open your eyes.

Human nature

People generally don't talk about how happy they are on a regular basis. They tend to want to talk to others when something is bothering them, and focus more on the negative. So I guess it makes sense that you don't see a lot of posts that say "Ladeedah, how I love my job and what a stupendous day it is in the transcription world today!" The job is just a means to a happier life, not the definition of a happy life.


Personally, I feel honored that I am in this profession.  Not because of the money or the skill and intelligence that it requires, but primarily because it allows me to be home with my daughter instead of shipping her off to daycare every day for some stranger to screw up. That is why I will deal with the lack of raises, crappy dictators, periodic lack of work, mgmt that is too overworked to care, etc. To be with my baby all the time and still bring in a paycheck, however meager it may be.


They believe ASR is human transcription?

They were all probably told that is why the work is over there and they have to fix our stuff, that way it boosts their egos. 


I still believe it is the other way around.  OH...our ignorant minds.


For all the animals out there
Suffering, with this video they showed us what they're going through.  I feel it won't be long before this information becomes mainstream and I think the majority of people who see it won't stand for it, people who have more power than us who can take strong action.  I'm glad there are so many of us out there who care this much here on  this board! 
Different for animals?
Is ophthalmology different for animals? How many Veterinary Ophthalmogists are there around? Do dogs wear contacts? Just curious.
Yes, we are all human BUT my post isn't going to part...

You may want to check out the Bangor Daily News online State page for August 7 of this week. President, Michael Deville was found liable for employee discrimination. Sounds like a great place to work. In addition, that manager you are speaking of most likely has no backbone when it comes to standing up when it's require of her.
heat and animals
Thank you for keeping your animals inside.  I do too.  I have three dogs, four cats and two birds and they are right by my side. I do take the dogs out in the morning and hose them down, then they come into the house (what a mess..no biggie, I can clean it up, ya know?).

Leave the animals alone

And what would happen if man wasnt on the earth to keep the population of animals under control?  Nature would take care of itself..Man puts its hands into things and screws up time and time again..Leave the animals alone, they will handle the population.  There is enough meat in every grocery store..more than enough..leave the living, breathing, beautiful animals alone..They were not put here for us to kill or amuse ourselves with..they are sharing the earth with us.they want to live just like we want to live..Leave the animals alone.


LEAVE THE ANIMALS ALONE
Very well said, abc, I totally agree with you. Leave the animals alone.
NO !! they do NOT test on animals.

You are probably more upset than the doctors will be. They might act tough, but they are human too.

I'm with you, we're all still human beings operating these
It doesnt hurt to say a few words on behalf on someone at the other end.  If you don't have that within yourself, and you don't need it in return, you're a cold and lost person.

No, I like to feel human thank you. I wear my jeans or better.
I am not the type who wants to go around sloppily all day. It makes all the difference in your outlook as to how you dress and your personality.
Nice job by calling it. Docs are human too.

please read if you care about animals....

A friend of mine gave me a video about 4 years ago about factory farming and the fur trade and where our meat supply comes from. Please to to Farm Sanctuary on the web for videos, books, more info. But that video turned me into a vegetarian that moment! I have always loved animals, but some reason never made the connection. They feel pain like we do. They are thinking beings as well and know when they are going to slaughter. Each vegetarian saves 80 ANIMALS A YEAR. It is appalling the way these animals are treated not to mention the chemicals and food they are fattened up with during their short lives... this is going into YOUR food chain. Sorry to get on my soap box... but I feel very passionately about this cause. If you are interested, please  research it further. The videos are extremely hard to watch, but that's the point --- it wakes you up! Harm no thing. Thanks for reading. Please don't bother blasting me if you disagree. It is my opinion. It will not change. You do not have to agree.


Shoot, my animals are all cute.

My dog will jump on her hind legs and "box" with you by smacking your hands with her front paws.


My cat likes to go berserk inside cardboard boxes.  He also perches on my desk and dips his paws in my betta bowl.  Then he climbs all the way up the screen door and yowls if I'm outside.  Typical cat behavior, I guess, but this is my first kitty so it's funny.  He's a loverboy, too.  He crawls up on me, sticks his head under my hair, chews my hair, bites my neck, purrs and goes to sleep.


I cannot use Mary Kay because they test on animals - sm
But I do use Estee Lauder and Oil of Olay. I consulted three dermatologists on getting Botox and they all said no way for me because I have no WRINKLES around my eyes or forehead ... at 39 years of age!

Feeling a little sad for you "as they are about animals"

Instead of at least quietly agreeing (or disagreeing) that this action was awful you chose to attack the poster.  Don't understand why you felt you had to do it.  I too am sickened by abortion, child abuse and neglect.  I am also saddened that man's best friend could by the thousands be killed like that.  I am not saying that it rates up there with abortion in my mind, but gosh, that was an undeniably cruel thing and it certainly causes me to give pause.
