Totally depressed! - Almost end of year and not even at 25K

I'm so depressed, I could just cry. I am getting report after report of the worst mush-mouth, slurring/blurring CRAPPY dictators. I finally just logged off. Still have 4 hours to go and I just can't face leaving 15 blanks in every report. Especially now that we have been told by our QC that we are being graded "harshly." I have tried to leave 3 times and have made less than with the Q and came back. I would go to Walmart, but a friend of our who works there just told ...

I know a lot of you are going through this...I totally understand. I am in radiology and the workload has been so slow. This has been going on even before the holidays, especially after I got moved to a different CCM. She only wants to change my schedule which, according to her emails, would be foolish since the times she wants me to move to have no work either. I would go above her but what good would that do? I have been actively applying to other places...but haven� ...

Has anyone gotten so depressed about how their transcription jobs are practically gone that they don't even want to sign in. This morning I said why bother. I am thinking of quitting because I waste time just sitting for eight hours. I would have to cut back big time but it is getting to depressing to sit here. ...

I just started with a new company and am really depressed about the "corrections" I am getting back from their QA. I have 35+ years of experience and yet I can't seem to do anything to please them. I'm told to type verbatim, but when I do, they "correct" that, stating I left "the" off when it was never dictated, etc., and other stupid things similar to that. I am to the point where I wonder if I will ever please them because it seems that no matter what I do, they are ...

I find that lately I am feeling depressed over the reports I've been transcribing. Maybe it's because it's the holiday season and I can't help but feel badly for these people who are so very sick (I do acute care). Lots of oncology these days, for some reason. I wonder how MTs who transcribe for childrens' hospitals or cancer clinics handle it. It must get to them. ...

Is there anyone out there that is making the same or more money with MQ since all this has changed. I am an MME and I just cannot seem to make any money. I try so hard to make ends meet, this is going to be the first time I will not be able to make my car payment. When I get on a roll the system seems freeze up or I just get horrible dictators the rest of my shift. I feel alone? If there was someone who can tell me, they are able to stay at same rate, then I can ...

I have been a stay at home mom since my son was born. During that time I also became a cancer survivor(ovarian). When my son started kindergarten, I decided to go back to school. Since medical transcription is really the only legitimate work you can do from home, I decided to go that route. I was amazed at the schooling and surprised at how well I did. I thought for sure, being an older student and out of the education loop for a while that I wouldn't do well. But I surprised myself. I real ...

This is an internal medicine file for a patient who just is mildly depressed. "Lately she has just had a very labile mood, anxious, depressed, and s/l sonnering around." Any clue? Please help anyone. ...

I cannot take much more. Those of you who don't have any compassion or feel the need to ever vent and just unload once in a while may stop reading now. I'm not writing to be bashed, stomped on, mashed, or otherwise abused and used more than the Q already does. I catch this crap from them every day, I don't need to hear it from fellow MTs. We are all in this same rocking, sinking, Titanic together. To make a very long story short here's the abbreviated vers ...

I just started my first job as an mt nearly five months ago. I've struggled with production, quality, and pretty much any other issue you can think of. I've gotten more and more depressed because my confidence at work isn't good. I've been diagnosed with major depression before, so iknow itsnot the only reason. It just feels like it. I have a lot of trouble concentrating when i have these upsetting bouts of depression. I had one today and only got 500 lines. I was ho ...

I guess I'm just venting, but suggestions are welcome. The title says it all in a nutshell, but let me explain. I don't have any money. I am relying on someone else to buy food for me every week. I don't have a job and can't find one. I would give up MT and start applying outside the house, but I can't because I am depressed and have severe social anxiety disorder, so that won't work. If I am getting more depressed by the minute. If I even could get a part-time job, ...

I am so depressed. I guess I am trying to vent to you guys. I have taken 4 tests for companies and failed all of them. I didnt even get an answer back from one. I have been doing this for years. I feel like a dummy. I dont think there are any good companies out there that any one of us can trust. I havent found one. I have sent out my resumes to at least 25 companies I got through my school and on the internet. I also was soooooo scammed through Dit transcription. I just dont know what to ...

I graduated back in May of this year, from the MT program at a local two-year college. The program was a one-year program, but due to the way the required courses were scheduled, it took two years of attending full-time to finish it. I'm starting to wish I had discovered MTStars before I enrolled in the program; if I had known then what I know now about the MT field, it would have saved me almost $10,000 in tuition for training that feels worthless now! As I read postings by experienced ...

So, remember the days way back when we got paid well, were appreciated and could be happy to be MT? Wow I miss that! I hate MTSOs. They all act like we only have work to worry about, they trash you, but never say any good you do. One trainer or QC person grades your work as 99%-100%, another picks apart every comma, period, etc. calling things "critical errors", that honestly aren't! You ask to advance in your position, but no "you're not ready" (after 15 years and previously being a ...

First put us on VR. Hey, good deal! I like VR. Then then cut our pay in half and make us use a new program. No big deal. It's supposed to be the best! I can live with it. I should still be making the same if not better. Uh-oh. Problems with the program. Support can't straiightens it out but, hey, I'll live with that! Just gotta learn to get around the quirks. Oh, wow! No work. Pay going downhill. Hey, new accounts coming on line. Yippee! Maybe I can finall ...

I have never felt more worthless in my life. I work for about half the pay, it takes longer to do because the drafts are so awful. You get marked down if you don't use shortcut keys to navigate or whatever and the object is to keep you fingers on the keyboard, but you cannot keep them in the position you need to for transcribing or fixing all the problems. I find my right hand is always on the control+delete key or end key, and my fingers constantly on the period or ...

while the managers and higher ups collect their checks with no problems. Got to find another job SOON. ...

I was supposed to have an interview with a company today at 2:00 p.m. I sent in my work environment information prior to the interview. A few minutes before the interview, they told me I needed to buy a lower version of Word and they would re-schedule my interview. I wrote back and told them thank you. These companies are getting free office space from us and they pay us practically nothing! They speak to us as if we were schlumps! With all of ...

For NJA, will someone please explain to me where I post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule excused, as well as where to post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule PTO. I believe they are 2 different sites. TIA ...

...and yet the MTSO's just don't get it, do they? ...

So far, I cannot even make 450, which is where their incentive begins. Is the 600 a bunch of hooey/propaganda, or do people actually achieve that? I am trying to keep an open mind, but I have to say I hate it so far. It doesn't punctuate, doesn't list, totally time consuming to fix everything and for 4 cpl. :( ...

Last night was my first night as a Nuance employee--VR editor. No TMT online for any questions I may have. I felt like I was pounding out the reports as quick as I could.......Kept looking at my production. Are you kidding? Half way through my shift, I was about ready to cry. At the end of my shift? I figured I made 8.62/hr last night. Degrading? Oh you bet. I have 20 years experience as an MT and manager, and I am lowering myself to this to fill someone else's fat pockets? I will ...

So depressing...by slowing down to a snail's pace by watching every comma, paragraph break and dash so that I can pass audits, I'm now taking almost a $400/month pay cut. Wonder if I would make more on unemployment??? This job is now laughable (and I'm sure there is a misplaced comma somewhere in this post!). ...

I heard a friend talk about "going Galt," so I checked it out on Google. It basically means I'm not giving away my intellect anymore for a "higher paying" job, which also means more in taxes. So, here's how I'm "going Galt." I'm quitting the MT biz and going to work in the restaurant industry. I feel like I'm being pimped out by the MTSO. About 3 years ago I was doing 11 cents on the GROSS line count and making just under 50k a year. Now I'm at about 8 ...

get it repaired? I've Googled and cannot find anything. Searched archives here but cannot find anything. Second question is does any company take them to refurbish, giving you a small amount for it? I hate to just throw the darn thing away without trying to do something with it. TIA. ...

Can anyone tell me where I can find the instructions in order to add a correction to my time card please? I have totally botched up my timecard in the last couple of days so for the past 2 days I have 64 hours! I have clicked and clicked on every button there and cannot for the life of me see where I would make a correction entry. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ...

It would be so HELPFUL if the CPs were in any kind of uniform order with divided sections, maybe, so you would know where to look for the same info from CP to CP. ...

Well, they are still at it. Totally Transcription in Missouri is still not paying people because of ???? They owe their people up to 90 days of pay. Blamed it on the bookkeeper. etc. They must have had a great Christmas last year, no one got paid except them I guess. DO NOT DEAL WITH TOTALLY - YOU WILL SUPPORT THEIR LIFESTYLE AND RUIN YOURS. LET'S PUT THEM ON THE RED FLAG LIST SO NO ONE WILL ADVERTISE FOR THEM. ...

a tone of people and now they have an ad on the other website hiring MTs? What the crap is up? They are so mismanaged it is pathetic! Stupid, stupid, stupid. ...
