Well, I can see from many posts below the pot stirrer is back from vacation. sm - JustMyObservation

The one who gets her/his jollies from kicking MTs when they are down and struggling. It is summer...why not get outside and reconnect with society rather than hiding behind your anonymous computer and picking on folks here. Have a nice day. LOL

So not sympathizing with MT who hates MM and cant pay - bill working at MM is pot stirring? SM

Oh, you probably mean the MT who is constantly seeking pity and hating on MT profession is the pot-stirrer.

Tired of the pity party. if you think you have it rough go work fast food for a week and get back t - you will be singing the praises of MT life

worked at walmart in college and it's hard to say which is worse.

I've worked in fast food...MT now IS worse - wheres_my_job

Oh please! Anything is way better than MM. - At least in my state!

Where minimum wage is the highest in the Nation at $9.14. Cannot make minimum wage at MM no matter how fast I work and been here for more than 2 decades. Now that tells you there is something seriously wrong with MM to pay their umemployees BELOW minimum wage. Yes, MM has to pay me the minimum wage, but in reality when you do the math, IT IS BELOW MINIMUM WAGE so basically MM is paying me for free. THAT IS DISGUSTING!!!

then go work fast food - nm

I work 28 hours at a doctor's office. LOVE IT! - Work here and it SUCKS!

It is night and day from clinic to this sweat job.

I worked at the movie theater on the weekends for awhile. IT WAS GREAT! Coworkers were wonderful and made more money than MM and would get to see FREE BOX OFFICE MOVIES!

It all boils down to the pay and getting respect.

THIS COMPANY IS A SWEAT JOB with no respect, below minimum wage, and people like you who I feel sorry for because you would be the trouble maker and pot stirrer if you hung around your co-workers every day. Yes, you need a job like this because who the heck would want to see your face every day.

I'm only here until I can get more hours in at the clinic. I make $18.00 an hour and I know what my paychecks will be EVERY TIME.

Okay poster below, we got it. MModal is what it is and only we can change our destinies. Please take a break.

I think there must be - someone

monitoring this board, maybe even paid a little something extra by MM because lately anytime anyone comes on with a complaint, i.e. being OOW, bad VR, etc, immediately there will be a rebuttal by a happy MM MT. Odd.

I thought the same thing! - I smell a rat...

That kind of tenacity just isn't natural!

sad to me that you can't believe someone is happy and loves their company - Alabama MT

Oh, I've loved an employer before... - Flip Side

A few even, and that is why I found MM's treatment of its employees so offensive!

I don't have a problem with - anyone

[ In Reply To ..]
they love MM... more power to em! The problem is when others say they hate MM because of X, Y or Z (valid concerns, and I know because I have experienced all of them myself) and are told they are incompetent, can't cut it, find your own happiness, if you don't like it get out, etc.

Maybe you should take up your concerns with your fellow happy MMers, because most of us who are not thrilled about working at MM or being MTs any more because we remember what this job used to be like do have legitimate gripes. A lot of us are doing our best to get out and those who can't are doing their best to adapt.

I think that's it in a nutshell... - Perceptions

[ In Reply To ..]
I wonder if the happy MM-er's don't have the employment history some of us have had (i.e., 30yo & younger?), so they have no basis for comparison. I do feel sorry for what has happened to the 99% in recent times in the workplace (myself included!). It wasn't always like this, so we know it doesn't have to be & must complain!

I'm 35 been an MT 10 years. - Happy with M Modal

So you entered MT - when it was already

[ In Reply To ..]
a wasteland and don't know any better. That explains a lot.

you are lucky to make what you do on the amount of education you have - your generation wasnt required to have any

[ In Reply To ..]
seriously what do you expect for a skill you can learn in a mail order kit?

Amount of education - 10 yrs MT

[ In Reply To ..]
The majority of us have earned our AS/AA degrees in secretarial science, biology, and English, etc., and many of us are certified MTs.

As far as learning MT from a mail order kit, there is no such thing unless you fall for a scam.

Yep, there as a post below that was a threat. - About our superiors.

hmmm...I'm the OP of this thread. Not sure if you are referring to me or another poster responding to my post, but I have never posted on this particular section of the forum complaining about how rough life is treating me, and I don't work for this company. Life is good for me compared to what others are facing. I feel sorry for people who lack empathy for their fellow man. That is very sad.

p.s. Bye!

That makes no sense - If you have no skin in the game

Why did you choose to start a thread to stir the proverbial MM pot?

The term practicing what you preach comes to mind here. That thread was dead but you *chose* to resurrect it, even though you say you don't even work for the company.

Does your arm get tired from all of that pot-stirring? Just sayin...

Been off for a week and I am having a heck of a time trying to convince myself to sit back in this chair and do it again.

I've been in this business for 30 years, but am under employed at the moment and am starting to get bored to tears with having so little work to do. But, it seems that all of the ads that I see are looking for full time transcriptionists. Surely there must be some companies or MTSOs somewhere who would need an MT to help with part time or per diem work, to help with vacation coverage or maybe for temporary work just to help clear up an occasional back log and such. But, d ...

I was wondering how it's done. I have two days a year when I'm not available to work because of a family reunion.
