tried to discuss this today with a non MT

I don't really want to know what someone else did to screw up and find it inappropriate given her position, putting me in an awkward spot as it is not my business (I'm not management). I just want, no need to get along with everyone and not develop bad feelings for either the rock or the hard place here. Work is hard enough. Why doesn't she just BE a manager and handle it privately without the smear job? ...

because we could inform the President and all politicians how much income it has taken away from honest workers. ...

I've been sending out resumes and cover letters as much as I can and reading lots of forums trying to get a feel for what to look for in a good company. Can the experienced MTs share their knowledge/wisdom on what to look for in a new employer? What is a good starting rate? What are some questions to ask of a potential employer? What should we stear clear of? I've been reading the company boards and find that there seem to be more negative responses/comments on so many companies, the ...

By this time in the day, usually, there has been at least 7 emails - several from QA, at least 2-3 backlog updates, and 1 reminder to work our shift and work our entire shift. ...

My work is normally about 97% ASR, today I have only had 1 ASR job. I'm not complaining, quite the opposite actually. I'm just curious if anyone else is getting less ASR work today. I was hoping it was down and we can expect a day or two of straight typing. ...

Unable to log on because DQS needs to be updated. Then can't update on DocuManage because there's no link. They tell me they someone will call back and help me, but they have no way of knowing when. This would definitely qualify for technical downtime, am I right? Anyone else having this issue today? ...

DQS is driving me crazy today. When I push the pedal, it takes a couple seconds to start playing. If I let off the pedal, it keeps going for a couple seconds and I can't get it to stop. The typing I am doing does not keep up with my finger speed either, with words not showing up until after I've typed them. I use my own computer and have never encountered this issue before. It is a major hindrance though, slowing me down. What's next? ...

Typing that last report, signing out for the last time.....it was all very surreal. I still can't believe I actually left. Sad though because I wasn't offered anything PT (not that I would had taken it), and nobody said "we'll be happy to take you back". AND....no exit interview. Guess I thought they appreciated me more than that. Oh well. Some of my friends wished me well and will miss me. Thats all I need. ...

Horrendous, absolutely horrendous. It felt like I was editing an ASR report. If they are all like this one, then I have no worries about losing my job to the Indians because once the clients see the garbage that is coming out of there, they will be begging for the USA. ...

Since my shift started a little over an hour ago, I have blown out my hair, cleaned the bathroom, made a dentist appointment and paid some bills! Whew! Looking for what to do next because it sure doesn't look like I'll be doing any typing this morning. NJA all day so far! Weeeeeee!!!!! (Sorry, just needed to try to make some humor out of it). Hope everybody has a great weekend! ...

I get so fuming mad about all these things that are going on at Nuance and with our careers and livlihoods, the lies and deceitful practices of this company that came along and gobbled up all the MTSOs and made my life a nightmare. I am the type of person that wants to fight for what is right and make my voice heard. Why such a company could come in and treat the employees the way Nuance does. I fell that if I try to fight I will just get myself into major trouble. ...

I have not posted on this site for a long, long time because there is so much negativity on here and stuff that was posted that is simply untrue. Not sure why anyone would stay with a company when they are so unhappy and then good people get laid off. Today I got the call, about 3 hours into my shift. I knew something was up as my caller ID never says Medquist on it. My TSM's voice sounded really awful and all she could say was I am sorry to call with bad news but you have ...

I thought today was pay day?? No direct deposit for me. Maybe i'm confused ...

Noticing this a.m. really BAD. Putting in a lot that is NOT said and leaving out what IS said. As if our job isn't aggravating enough. More typing than editing. ...

Missing a lot of words and totally random punctuation. Oh well, I'd be at minimum either which way. ...

I have not received 1 email with account status updates, stupid "joke of the day", tip of the day or error emails. Also, none of the TMs are on. ...

After over 25 years as an MT, I'm not going to lie, I am a little sad. However, MT is not what it used to be. It served me well for about 20 years or so before it started to go south. I did manage to avoid VR, but it was only a matter of time. I recently completed school (again) and I am starting a new career. I know many people think it can't be done on the wages MTs have been reduced to, but I am living proof that it actually can! I continued working as an MT while I was in sc ...

I am offically sick of inconsiderate dictator day. They are being held accountable for their poor dictations with blanks, blanks, and more blanks.. I am done!!! ...

Suddenly my account has gone dry. My TSM's excuse is they are too heavily staffed on 1st shift...yeah, right. I just checked for the heck of it and still nothing. The account I am on begins with an E and is a hospital in PA. Wow, just wow. ...

first is open smart stitch sutures correct as is? and second is it times 2 or x2? Never had this before. :-). tia. ........This was treated with a subacromial decompression and repair of the rotator cuff using the open smart stitch sutures x 2. ...

Thi s is getting so old. I can't live off NOTHING. ...

Has anybody else gotten emails today from their CTL. I have gotten 4-5 of them so far from both CTLs in my area. I thought this position was suppose to have been eliminated. I wonder if they had a change in plans? ...

This is my first year working at home for a company (I worked as an MT for 6 years in a hospital) so I am new to all this not having work stuff. No work over the weekend and today. Is this normal? This never happened to me at the hospital. Now I am freaking out! ...

So our CCM emails us saying when our work dries up there will be a certain account that we will help out on (as we have in the past). She apologizes, saying she knows this is a very "difficult account, but we need to leave as few QA markers as possible." This just rubs me the wrong way. She's right--it's difficult alright--- but not in the way she is implying. She implies it's difficult because of the "difficult" terminology used in all the cardiac cathete ...

It seems like every report I do today has an idiot on the other end. I just had a doctor dictate "Medications (really long pause) 750 mg p.o. b.i.d. x5 more days." Really? It'd be nice if you said WHAT medication that is! I swear, ALL of them have been like that today. They either drag on forever and forget what they're even saying or they just leave off half of the word because they think I should just know what they are saying/thinking without having to hear ...

I spoke with a counselor/advisor who was extremely helpful. They gave me a couple of tests, personality and skill tests to see what I want do in life. I scored pretty high on counseling and criminal justice and even showed medical transcription. Here is what it says about being a medical transcriptionist in Oregon. Wages Location Pay Period Entry Median Top Oregon Hourly $12.73 (1) $17.00 Monthly $2,206 (1) $2,946 Yearly $ ...

Here I sit all broken hearted. Supposed to work and only just started. First job edited and sent away. Then what happens? NJA! NJA, oh how can it be? Why must you always do this to me? When the bank comes to tow my car away, I'll just tell them, blame NJA! ...

When I talk to non MT's about my job, they get a - blank stare and just nod along.
