You know? As in, would you do that if you were on the phone with your mom, your friend, etc.?? Doubtful. It's like they seriously don't realize that a human being has to listen to that crap. Thankfully, they're not all like that. I had a doctor recently whose pager went off and must have been sitting right next to his dictation device. He apologized and said, "I'm sorry about that. I hope that didn't hurt your ear." Actually, it did hurt my ear, but I appreciated the apology.

Well yes it did hurt my ears doc - they ring for a reason

And learn to DISCONNECT from the dictation instead of letting me have to hear the dial tone..And stop eating and chewing and yawning. You wonder why I mess up your dictations? Oh yeah, and basic English would go a long way as well.

Things have continued to decline over the past 3 years I worked for MQ. After the 5% submission rule went into effect, I decided I needed a new career, so at the age of 46, back to school for me. I think this might be an important step for many MQ'ers since obviously the rate of pay will continue to decrease and the work demand increase. The fact they do not appreciate our ability to produce top-rated work and are happy with mediocre says a lot for a company tha ...

Well - I am finally moving! Started applying to non-MT jobs this week. Have known it, have been saying it, but just could not bring myself to do it. We just did open enrollement for 2014. I now am paying $430 a month for my spouse and I to get contracted insurance rates - because that (and the wellness benefits) are ALL that it covers (not even pharmacy) until we pay $7500 together, then it covers a WHOPPING 75% till we pay $12,500 for our max out of pocket.& ...
