and by a certain date....I hope there are enough signatures.
I actually meant what I couldn't click on was the email that was sent...I could click on the link YOU posted, but in any case, it was easy....they actually put a password in the email I could use so that wasn't an issue.
For anyone who wants to do it, please do, it's really easy.

I was laid off last Friday. Letter came today confirming discussion by phone that my part time position was eliminated and shipping labels will be sent.
I can't tell you how nice it has been to not be an employee for this company. It angers me to read posts of whatever they are now doing about NJA situation. It's hard to believe we have had to put up with these kind of antics for so long. It's stressful to read them even as a former employee! But I f ...
I was told we would be paid for the downtime we had the other day and that we would hear from someone about the number of hours, but haven't heard anything yet. Does anyone know? ...
They are all being replaced (I think 400 as remember) with Regional Team Leads who will cover nights and weekends when the CCM is off. I think the CTL position came and went in only 6 months. Is that a record? ...
This is it! Been waiting for this letter in the mail since July 23 to make it official in my mind and received the boxes to return the CPU and monitor.
I went to college with a degree in Medical Transcription/Medical Secretary (our TSMs have NO college degree). I cannot believe I gave 26 years of my life by working every holiday, having 4 (5 day) vacations in 26 years, being employee of the month 3 times over the years, giving up family time and plans because I am scheduled to work, ...

It's an orthopedic chart note. Patient has a chief complaint of hip pain.
Dictated: He has a negative [s/l fair, fairs, varus?] sign, a negative fabere sign.
It doesn't sound like fadir; I'm not hearing that "d." I already had to leave two medication blanks and hate to leave another one for an orthopedic sign that I feel like I should know!
Thank you in advance for your help and ideas!

It is insulting to all of us with the way that MT pay has gone down the drain, it is frustrating and aggravating to look for a "decent" job these days, trying to work out which companies will treat you fairly, which ones lie about their platforms, work, etc., and not only do these companies not want to pay us what we are worth but now I see that MANY companies are requiring the MT to have or "be willing" to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment. If an employer can PROMISE IN ...
I asked some questions below regarding DTS America and yet no answers. I see there have been 97 onlookers. Could someone please, please give me their experience, good or bad, with DTS America. I am just looking for answers. Ultimately I will make my own decision, but it is still good to communicate and learn of various experiences. I have tested and tested and tested, and would definitely love to not waste my time with a company that is truly bogus. I have ran ...
I was really interested in the position that you had until I read that you pay $.07/line with NO SPACES. It honestly sounds like some great work that I would love to do, but unfortunately your pay is too low and doesn't include spaces. Good luck! ...
Can anyone tell me about the reputation of Transcription-America.com?
They offer a training program if you buy their books for $60, and then their software equipment (foot pedal, software CD, etc.) for $495. They claim everything else is free. ...
I never run out of work, as a matter of fact, they call me almost daily to work extra. I've never had any problems with them, I do my job and do it well and they leave me alone. The only ones I ever hear from are the help desk, and again, it is always to work extra. They often send e-mails offering OT for certain accounts that tend to get backed up quite often. The pay is good and they offer incentive for both PT and FT. Just curious, did you get a job with the ...
