remember when we were talking about words - that grate on us?


Posted: Dec 20, 2013

People where I live have all started saying Mmbye when they say goodbye.  Like they are getting off the phone and they say mmbye.  It's driving me nuts.

They say mmbye in person and not on the phone? - Is that what you mean?

[ In Reply To ..]
I kinda like "mmbye" as a phone signoff. In person it would be weird.

mostly on the phone - grates on me

[ In Reply To ..]
can't remember if I've heard it in person. I just don't like it.

My husband does that!!! - so aggravating

[ In Reply To ..]
When it gets to be too much, I make a point to say "same difference" as often as I can, since that drives him nuts!

How's about K-bye? - Or Bye-eee?

Other phone sign-offs for you to ponder...

:P

No One Talking About DIT
May 30, 2011

I am really surprised that there is no one talking about DIT.  I know that I am not the only one that got the shaft from them.  The owners last excuse for not paying me for work completed was that he just found out that he was losing his eyesight!.  Again, I fell for it hook, line and sinker.  He couldn't answer his emails because he had to find someone else to read them to him.  By the end of the conversation, I was in tears..... I am such a fool.  I did however, get my pay in full, ...

Tired Of Getting Talking Down To
Nov 14, 2013

anyone else tired of being talking down to by their QC, so sick of it, they act like we are babies and they are the only ones with knowledge.  So we make a mistake, their mistake in this company if making the point value so high on silly things, but there again that is one way of getting rid of us and giving more to off-shoring. Just tired of it all but looking every chance I get.   And I guess the higher ups who get copies of all the QC emails probably are eating it up when they ...

The hopeful folks....did you forget we have not even started with the new guidelines by which our work will be audited at a yet unspecified date?  You may be feeling all warm and comfy right now with your 99.9% to 100% reviews.  I would not be counting on that. I've had plenty of those, too, and regularly achieved the quarterly bonus up until recently. So, I work 25 hours, and they audited 1 report only with 1 error and I am at a tad over 98%. Meanwhile, I pended 4 jobs and that ...


Pay Per Audio Talking Minute
Jan 16, 2015

Note, these are non-MT jobs. I have been applying to jobs that pay per "audio talking minute." These are all basically customer service jobs which might include a little tech help and also might include some upselling. Anyone have a take on this? After I quit MT, I SWORE I would never do any job that was not hourly or otherwise a guaranteed amount per paycheck. Has anyone done this type of work? I guess I'm curious what "audio talking minute" means. I'm assuming it means not ...

People Who Work For This Company Will Know Who I'm Talking About...
Nov 03, 2012

This company got a huge account that we as MTs cleaned up their late reports at a rate of 9 cpl (1,000 to 2,000 or more) as they put them in our system.  Not a bad line rate, right?  Dictation was bad, sound quality sucked, and on and on. Now that they are dictating into our system daily, the "contract has been renegotiated" and if we still want to type for the account we are getting 7.5 cpl.  What a damned ripoff!! Who can guess what company this one is?  I' ...

Remember When
Apr 23, 2010

Remember when – you were proud to be an MT – proud of the work you did and the physicians said thank you when you did a good job?   How about the bumper sticker years ago from AHDI (AAMT)  that they handed out at one of the conferences that read – MDs need MTs.   After 35 years in this profession, I call it quits.   All of us really just need a "thank you" from time to time to feel appreciated.     I have worked at ho ...

Remember when we used to get that newsletter in the mail?  I found some today as I was packing my stuff.  Remember when they used to pat us on the back now and then?

Wonder if they even notice we are dropping like flies. We never hear anything from management unless it's that they are i ...
