I need the latest official ruling on a-fib! - Anon


Posted: Mar 25, 2011

I like a-fib, since I don't see a logical reason to capitalize the "A", but maybe there shouldn't be a hyphen? 

Im told AFib.. but I think it looks stupid - but I do as told

Thanks guys! Yep, that does look stupid - capital A and capital F all together. Okay, if that's how they like it. I wouldn't dare expand it and be accused of padding my cpl!

We hvae to spell it out as we cannot use slang, as - they call it. NM

a-fib, Afib, etc. - Wolfee

I've been required to type it so many ways it's not even funny. From my experience, it's up to the client how they want it. Many of mine want it expanded no matter what, while others want afib, a-fib, Afib, etc. I would ask the client for their preference.

Apr 18, 2013

I had a hearing with the California State Labor Commissioner today.  I won the case and settled.  Because of the wage issues discussed and OOW rules (“waiting for work”), California State enforced the below and the company was advised to abide by these accounting rules and California State Laws.  These were the issues covered.  Please pay particular attention to OOW.

Got My Official Termination Letter.
Aug 23, 2013

I was laid off last Friday.  Letter came today confirming discussion by phone that my part time position was eliminated and shipping labels will be sent. I can't tell you how nice it has been to not be an employee for this company.  It angers me to read posts of whatever they are now doing about NJA situation.  It's hard to believe we have had to put up with these kind of antics for so long.  It's stressful to read them even as a former employee!  But I f ...

Well, all the rumors are starting to come to pass with dear SGS (Superior Global Solutions).  I "WAS" in QA until yesterday.  They either fired or demoted 7 of us so far to MT status.  Not saying being an MT is a demotion, but for the sake of telling you about SGS and my experiences with them, we shall call it a demotion.  Back a few months ago they made SURE everyone had signed an "At Will" employment form so they would have all their ducks in a row when all this started to ...

Many are owed money.  The owner sends intimidating emails.  The company offers NO training.  They also do not provide any feedback.  Read posts further down and in the archives.

AAMT Or Whatever Their Latest Abbreviation Is...
Sep 18, 2010

If it is true that our MT corporations are profiting with VR the same as if we were transcribing, well to me that's picking my pocket......So then why isn't AAMT (or whatever) going to bat for us 'editors' and set standards so that companies will pay us our fair share?
