Positive attitude, what positive attitude - busyB


Posted: Jan 08, 2015

I used to be a person with such a positive attitude, always smiling, taking the good with the bad and never letting the bad get me down.  Since all the recent changes at Mmodal going back several years, I've become more negative, more cynical, more frustrated, and more sarcastic.  I no longer care about the quality of a report when I get a dictator that obviously no longer cares about his/her patient.  You know that dictator that has the nerve to call on his/her cell phone while driving down the road, eating something, music playing, kids talking, horns blowing, etc. You know that dictator that calls from the nurses station with things beeping loudly by the phone, the support staff hollering across the room at each other in the background while he/she is sucking on a mint or eating something.  You know the dictator that mumbles every word they say and expects you to "read their mind."  Top all that off with managers who only communicate mean, sarcastic, and/or bad stuff.  Never communicate to say thanks for what you do.  Never communicate to introduce each other.  Even during MT Week you have to be a "lucky winner" just to feel appreciated.  I'm thinking there are plenty others that feel the same way.  I'm done  Tongue out

Positive - Attitude

[ In Reply To ..]
Working at MM for the last 20 years, I know it takes a positive and strong attitude to survive this place and make a decent living off piecework. What I would like to see is management take on a positive attitude towards its MTs, after all, we all perform above industry standard that is why we are all still here, and that is also why this organization has been making a profit.

Trying To Have A Positive Attitude
Jun 04, 2015

Two days in a row now of the worst ever ESL dictators.  Sometimes this jobs just makes me want to SCREAM loudly but that won't solve the problem (s).  Too many days I have sat her crying over the quality (or lack thereof) of the physicians dictating.  They just don't care how they dictate.  WE are responsible for making them 100%.  So very tired.  Fondly remember the "good ole days" when I first started with Your Office Genie.  Each subsequent buyout ...

I DREAD Monday's.  Coming back to see yet mandatory OT.  I am so tired.  It's all I can do to sit here 8 hours a day and now 9 or more.  I try to be positive but when I see the jobs I get, forget it.  Same &*%#, different day.  Wish we could get the doctors to care.  It would be great if  the sound quality would improve.  Static on line, turning away from mike, etc.  I am losing my hearing fast.  Turn the volume all the way, ...


Feeling Very Resentful Lately, Bad Attitude!
Apr 19, 2012

My very own attitude has gone from bad to worse with the 4 cpl and the fact that I am typing over most of the garbage.  I was told by my CCM no F11 unless technical problems and they must be reported. Again today, I find myself really very angry while I wait for a job outside of the house to come through.  I find myself angry that I sit here for 4 cpl and no matter what I won't be able to make bills, b/c I am again straight typing half of this stuff and my skill set/self-esteem k ...

Wmx/nuance Paycut Meeting,listen To Tape Shut Up Or QUIT, Nuance Attitude?
Dec 12, 2011

According to a poster below which has apparently already attended one of the payroll meetings (as the poster posted) for nuance they have decided to keep the incentive part of all of our pay going with an exception that now you have to have over the industry standard of 98% to get a production based incentive. In addition (if this poster is accurate) they have again cut the overall pay from 8 and 4 to 3 3/4 AND 7 1/2. This is nothing but a bunch of crapploa...an MT who is now getting ...

Something Positive To Say
Mar 27, 2010

I get on this site every now and then and it is so disheartening to see so many people frustrated with their employers.  I work for two different companies and I have to say I love them both.  I work for OSi and I work for All Type.  Both treat me fairly, respond rapidly to questions and are nice employers.  I've always been paid on time, they both understand emergencies and I make a good income from each.  There are good companies and there are nice people to work ...


TTD- Anything Positive On Them?
May 23, 2012

Hi, I am new to this board, but have been searching jobs here.  I applied to TTD and received new-hire package.  I have been looking here at all the negative comments about them before actually figuring out what I want to do with them.  My question is, are there any positive comments about them at all?  I may have an opportunity later this summer at a job locally and have a job currently, but not sure if I want to hop into this if they don't pay.  I don't want ...

Anything Positive?
Dec 31, 2012

I'm currently a student with a nearing graduation date. I'm getting quite discouraged lately because from what I have been researching and finding on forums is that basically there is not enough work out there to make ends meet. I've seen alot of negative posts from current MTs and it makes me nervous since I have yet to graduate. Is there anything positive out there for a student like me to look forward to?? ...


Something Positive
Jun 22, 2013

I just wanted to mention something positive about MT, my experience.  There are a lot of negatives posted about the MT field on this board, and I'm not discounting anybody's experience, as, yes, there have been changes in this field, and some of those changes have hit people hard and are not fair.  I just wanted to give encouragement to people who like MT that there are some positive things/companies still going on.  I have 7 years of experience.  I graduated from C ...


Some Positive Words, Please!
Dec 30, 2009

Man, I can see the changes in the transcription industry (admittedly negative changes) have really gotten us down and we're stuck in a mire of complaints, bad feelings and feeling tired and fed up!  I feel the same way, and I feel that greed and the economy are to blame.  But sometimes you just need to hear a positive word to make it through the day, or through the week.  Here is mine - I am thankful that I do not have to spend money on work clothes and ga ...

Sure Could Use Some POSITIVE Energy
Nov 25, 2010

Not everyone is unhappy with MT work right now.  Lots of times this board is filled with much negativity and I think it is a disservice to each other.  Sometimes we need to vent, but sure would like to see people with more positive things that are happening in their life post on here, and not just read on here.  I think it is unfair to dissuade newcomers to the profession.  Give them an accurate vision of what it is like, both pros and cons.  But, I think it's wron ...

Can We Have Something Positive For A Change?
Oct 17, 2011

Seriously, all I read about here are how MT sucks. It's horrible. Get out while you can.   I'm new to this field. This talk is very disheartening. Reading these threads even makes me work less because it feels pointless. So, please, can I have some positives? Something to show me that I can live off this line of work. How many people are doing well? Good? Great?! ...


On A POSITIVE Note
May 20, 2012

I know it's rare for this board if, heaven forbid, anybody put anything positive on here. I've complained on here just like everyone else about low pay, low work, etc., but the bottom line for me is: I love the company I work for and have a great supervisor; they let me know from time to time that I am appreciated and let me know I was missed when I am gone (on vacation or whatever); they do their best to make sure I have enough work; they do thoughtful things, such as send birthday ...

Trying To Stay Positive Looking For Job

I have graduated a year and a half ago from school, have my CPC-A and I am not having any luck finding a job.  I have applied to so many jobs and I get the same answer all the time of needing at least 2 to 3 years of experience.  While I am trying to be patient, I feel my skills are being lost.  You HAVE to be able to code every day in order for guidelines to cement in your brain and to become aware of changes.  I do practice by doing the Optum Code This! scenarios, (which I ...
