Profanity in a report... how do you handle it?

I have a supervisor at my company who constantly uses profanity when I speak to her on the phone, and constantly bashes MTs and other employees, so I'm sure she bashes me to others as well. She even does this on conference calls. I am always shocked at this behavior each and every time she does it. I find this so unprofessional and it makes me very uncomfortable, but I don't want to tell the owner/HR person. It makes the company look bad. How would you ha ...

I've been working 2 months. One doctor on my account makes mistakes constantly, says the wrong dates, sends in partial audio files, once sent in a file that was nothing but his side of a cell phone conversation. He complains constantly because he says these are my mistakes. Now, for some reason, my QA person has told him she 100% agrees with him. Also, he thinks I'm the only one working this account, so if someone else makes a mistake I still get yelled at. This is a ...

I have been informed by my employer that our company will be losing 70% of its accounts and thus many transcriptionists and employees will be let go. There is an extremely good chance that I will be among those leaving, as 90% of my accounts are going to be gone. So, I already have a job interview set up with a local physician in a private office, but since my employer has not let me know whether or not I will be laid off, should I tell my employer that I'm looking for another j ...

Okay, so I have a client who is driving me nuts. I wonder what the general consensus is about how to handle a really pesky issue I'm having with him. This particular doctor is an older gentleman who wants to do things to look like he's keeping up with the times but doesn't want to change how he does things. He's also cheap as sin and thinks that because he's a doctor and I'm an MT he's above me in life. Not kidding. Anyway, the issue I& ...

So I just got a temp job in a fancy upscale surgical hospital. First in-house job in 8 years, and I really need to convert this job into a permanent deal, but my first attempts on the phone last week I sort of bombed.

I know I will make mistakes, it would be great if I could recover from them gracefully. >_<* If someone was willing to mentor me and get me through this next week I would send you a box of cookies or brownies or wha ...

I have a psych doc who always says "the patient was less complaintive today." I've changed it o "the patient complained less today." But the doc sends the report back for correction and wants the word "complaintive" which is NOT a word! I've been giving it to him, but man it drives me crazy.

I'm just curious. I'm currently an IC, but I'm finding it very difficult to move the required amount of money out of each paycheck to set aside for estimated taxes. If it's there, I'm usually using it to pay bills and not moving it into the separate account I set up for that specific purpose. Sigh. I was thinking I should get an employee position so the taxes are already taken out, and the responsibility is taken out of my hands because I obviously can ...
