People are really pretty nice on here - From My Viewpoint


Posted: Feb 05, 2010

I've noticed that all-in-all, people are pretty nice on here. There are a few negative people and people who jump to conclusions and take things the wrong way, but those are very few. Most of the people here are quick to try to help when others need advice to improve their production or find a job. That's so refreshing.

I always try to see things in a positive way - just me

I've always tried to see the good in people no matter how much difference of opinions we share. My mom and dad taught me to treat people how I want to be treated.

Yep, everywhere but the political forum but that's to be expected and there is a warning from the moderator about it. :-)

I try to help out with the word help board when I can. I like to do it and I feel obligated to return the favor when someone helps me. It drives me nuts when I can't figure out their word.

It's definitely a nice group here. We're all in the same boat in one way or another - ASR woes, no jobs available, etc. It's a nice camraderie.

You are correct. - Kathleen

You are right--the folks here are much more nice than at MTChat. I never really thought much about that before, and I thank you for that insight.

I seldom, if ever, post over there, knowing full well that there are certain folks who will jump all over you and lambaste anyone for the tiniest reason.

This board is refreshing. Thanks!

not really " much nicer" - ?

Pretty Sad
Apr 30, 2011

A local real estate company in my area offers a document shredding day every 6 months or so. I have a ton of old papers that need to be shreaded so I was going through some of them tonight and I came across a bid given to my boss when I worked in the Radiology Dept. in a large HMO back in 1986. It was a bid from a transcription service trying to get the contract for the outpatient Radiology. My boss gave it to me as I was the Sr. Transcriptionist; we were union and no way was ...

People Skills For Work-at-home People
Nov 01, 2010

I have been at home working full time for about a year.  I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other.  I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills.  Do others have this same problem?  It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others.  This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...


CCM Pretty Worthless

I am so tired of the d*@m excuses all the time. I send emails to my CCM they never get answered, its not like they are not important, they are not stupid worthless questions. I don't think we got decent training so of course we have questions, so then I have to email her boss to get an answer, but the excuse is "well she has 150 people to supervise so she's very busy." Well that's not my problem she took that position she should d#@m well answer her emails! Is there a place in ...

Need SHORTHAND Help ASAP!! Pretty Please!
Oct 16, 2009

When using Shorthand, I type a word and then if I have to put a comma after the expanded work the word comes up again. Example: I type my abbreviation for "however" and put a comma after it and it looks like this:  "howeveowever," This happens with every word that gets expanded and then I type a comma after. What's up with that and can anybody help?  I can't seem to find anything in the Shorthand Guidebook. ...

Stentel Pays Pretty Low

I understand that Stentel pays pretty low, but I am wondering if they are negotiable or if their platform etc still allows you to make more money that a company that pays a little more.

Feel Pretty Bad About Line Counts

I am getting to feel pretty bad about my line counts.  I feel like it is getting harder and harder all the time.  Now I am down to about 100 LPH on VR and I am logging in and out b/c I got the performance review, that I am not supposed to have hands off keyboard or foot off pedal. I have been on since 11 a.m. and it is 3:30 and I only have 500 lines.  What is wrong with me... I used to get 1200 lines in 6 hours, now I am getting 600 in 6 hours... What the heck???? ...

I have finally said phooey and typed may parts of the ASR. It has been said, "but then the ASR won't learn". In my opinion, though, it has had more than enough educational opportunities to learn! Unfortunately can't F11 as I am already in the warning stage of "abuse". I put abuse in quotation marks because it is us being abused with not being able to just plain type out this cursed output. One document was indeed such a mess than I retyped 75-80% of it - it didn't "meet the c ...

I'm also wondering if anyone is on the account they are hiring for? The ad says many dictators on VR should NOT be on VR, and I know that's true for a lot of companies. Is it just honesty, or are there some authors that are worse than bad? Any input appreciated! ...

Why do only the people who have nothing good or helpful to say the only ones who are on here posting messages. If you don't have anything relevant or nice to say, do us all a favor and keep your trap shut! There is no provocation for attacking someone just because they said that being an auditor lets them enjoy having sick days and holidays off and then questioning their ability to do their job. I was an MT for many, many years, so I was in the same boat you all are now and even wors ...
