Who knew when I asked what I thought was an innocent questions would set the hounds off? Guess some others are having a "bad day" as well. Here's hoping tomorrow will be better.

The Moderator has stated that threads such - none

as these above mine are being taken off and banned if continued. Please, why don't we all stop competing with each other and start completing each other (took from Marie Osmond). However, I am not a Pollyanna. There are some who find this the only place they can be nasty to their fellow human beings without using their names. As someone stated above, it is sickening. The folks doing this need professional help.

I am the OP - anon

I feel like I need to explain. This is the second time in a year that I have asked a question and been "attacked" and made to feel stupid. I am NOT a rocket scientist nor am I the lowest on the food chain either. I mistakenly held the assumption that people would or could help me out. It seems like there are a few "bad apples" out there that still take delight in their actions. Now that I have been twice burned by these individuals, I am out of here. I don't know why the hounds do what they do or what they get out of it, but hoping they can go a little easier on the next person who they perceive to ask a "stupid" question. I was always told no question was stupid.
Have a nice day.
Why do I feel the need to apologize when I did nothing wrong?

Agree 100%, we should be helping each other - not attacking

I have to wonder about some of the responses/postings on here. Some of the things that are said seem like a deliberate move to try and get people fired so that they can have the work. Maybe it is just me, but half the things they say they do would result in termination. Just my opinion. I kind of just ignore the off the wall nasty people and concentrate on the good ones on here.

I have never posted here, but here are my feelings: I love reading on here, but I admit I enjoy the positives more than the negatives. I know it's hard. I have done this job for 35 years, and yes, it's changing, and yes, sometimes I want to scream (and sometimes I do), but the reason I keep doing it is because for every report I type, I feel like I am helping a patient. Wish I made more? Absolutely I do, but I have learned to live and have learned to be scrappy and keep on truckin'. (Giving away my age...ha!)!! At any rate, I did a lot of soul searching and spiritual work on myself, meditation, prayer, whatever it is you call your communication with your higher power, and now I just do it for the good of someone else instead of myself.

well I must have missed something - cuz I see no attacking going on here nm

It appears the moderator already moved the snarks - Posted on this thread yesterday

[ In Reply To ..]
There were a couple of totally uncalled for snarks posted under the OP's question. Since those are gone, I assume the moderator saw them and removed them.

then why keep bringing it up? - not to sound snarky

[ In Reply To ..]
but I mean, they're gone.

I am right there with you...please, don't let... - noneya

"the hounds" get you down. They are so unhappy and I think it makes them feel better to pull others down with them. Remember, "misery loves company"! Take care.

Been working with VR since last October.

There need to be at least 3 workers to sign before it can be submitted. I hope every MT who has lost their jobs has applied for this...

Medquist has been certified under the TAA, or Trade Act, Program. This means that former Medquist employees who lost their jobs can get funds to go to school as well as help paying for their COBRA premiums. They need to go to their local Workforce center to apply.

I decided to look into the benefits of the Trade Act which apparently includes only some states but which MQ has been qualified for. I'm not yet unemployed but need to at least feel prepared. I live in California so was given the name and number of the person in charge in my part of the state. I also picked the brains of the One-Stop personnel about career changes. They are a WEALTH of information, including 2 excellent websites: www.edd.ca.gov www.onlin ...

I just found out about this government program. From what I understand, it helps those who have lost all or part of their hours/income due to outsourcing of their profession, especially us older workers who need to retrain in order to reenter the workforce in another field. It looks to me like Medical Transcriptionists should fit their description, and we should be eligible for some funding to get some training! The catch is, in order to file, you have to have at least 3 pe ...
