would appreciate updates of warnings, but I guess not. I will not post here again to warn anyone of anything. Sick of being trolled!

I thought this was a company forum board. As such, one can post what they want concerning a company or MTSO. Only a moderator has the right to tell someone what and where they can or cannot post. I thought that earlier comment was extremely rude and unwarranted.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it - Nonsense

Sometimes I wonder why I read these boards at all. I used to enjoy it but now it's so negative. Yes, we all know MT is dying, dying, dying (or is it dead already?), but why some posters have to be so ridiculously negative is beyond my comprehension. Actually, some of them are downright mean and spiteful in some cases.

Oh, BTW, I am so close to being out of MT for good after over 25 years that I can taste it. I decided to go back to school in 2012 and I recently graduated, so I will be done with this hell called MT soon. Let the dislikes begin - I honestly don't care. To the OP - I hope you get your money.

Just an observation but - SM

I'm a member of multiple MT groups on FB. Anonymity is much more difficult there and posters are using their own names and usually sharing their employer as well.

Due to the anonymous nature of this board, and the obvious lack of participation compared to even a year ago, I'm beginning to believe that soon the only posters left on this forum will be just the negative ones who rip on other people and seem to detest everything. There's precious little encouragement or appreciation to be found on these boards as of late and I, for one, am beginning to wonder why I even bother to come to this site.

To the OP, thank you for alerting us to the possibility of a problem MTSO. Just ignore the "haters" (I don't like that expression but sometimes it appears to be applicable) and realize that some did appreciate you sharing the information.

I'm off to greener (and friendlier) pastures...

It is so very frustrating! I type for a wound care clinic, and, of course, a great deal of the patients there are diabetic, as am I. About a year ago I learned from my diabetic teacher that a local supermarket chain pharmacy offers all diabetic supplies and meds for free, whether you are insured or not. At least once every couple of weeks I type a note in which the doctor says the patient hasn't been able to afford his/her diabetes medication or insulin, and they seem to ...

You see it periodically, OB, radiology, and something else but it's pretty clear the work will be OB. The test consists of 3 files (getting this from the ad) and you should finish it in less than 2 hours. 3 files? How long are the files? So, my real question is (the other two were thiinking out loud), does this ad get run periodically to clear out the backlog or is it really a legit job and why does it come up so often? It's not the exact same ad everytime ...

This particular board, the New MTs board, is devoted to assisting the newcomers to this profession. It is here as a help, an assistance, a way to advise and mentor newbies. It is NOT a place to slam, discourage, handslap or pick fights between newbies and experienced MTs. We are not going to have an ongoing war or scuffles between the experienced MTs and the newbies or vice versa in regard to who should or should not be in this industry, who does a better job, who knows more, ...

I have been reading all of the posts especially the ones about grammar. Maybe I have not finished transcription school or even paid my dues as a seasoned "elder" (I hate that phrase--not being in my 20s myself), but I was one of the 70,000 that was laid off on black Monday back in January 2009. I was looking for a career that would (I thought) not be hurt by the economy as severely. I very much appreciate any advice my "more experienced" friends can give. Even with m ...

Obama announced a new tax break for every new employee hired will get a 5,000 tax break and up to 500,000 total for each company who hires new employees. My congressman is going to hear from tomrrow when I call his office. You all know how MQ loves to hire new employees and I sure hope they do not plan on getting rid of us old ones and if they do? I see ANOTHER lawsuit coming called age discrimination. ...

Just a suggestion but if there are so many people with complaints about companies or their MT careers, etc., instead of getting "bashed," deleted, or otherwise, why not make a forum just for complaints and opinions and leave the other boards to more respectful and intelligent conversations. Let's see if what I just posted doesn't prove my point. ...

I think everyone should go to the link below from the SEC (written 8/19/2009) to read the general disagreements from a board member of MQ. This board member resigned because of quesitonable ethics, overall (mis)management and questionable financial dealings with CBay. After reading, rethink a career and future with MQ. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/884497/000095012309036850/w75438exv99w1.htm ...

I tried the swap yesterday. I put in to give up my shift on Friday, 4-9 as doing the Relay for Life walk that evening. It appeared to take as I had RECLAIM next to my shift instead of SWAP but when I went in today, it said SWAP again. It looked the same as it did before I put in to swap. When I looked on the SWAP board there were no shifts up for grabs and yesterday there were 2 on there??? I redid this again but cannot figure out why I had to redo it. I think it would be great if some ...

There are also safe practices you, as posters, should take for professional security. Posters responding to your job-wanted ad can be recruiters, facilities, any business wanting to respond to you.
