depressed and s/l sonnering around

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 ...

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 ...

My net pay didn't even hit 20K this year! And then I see that MM is advertising for more MT's, and I haven't had a full day in over 2 weeks? What is really going on here? Okay, done venting now. Thanks for listening! ...

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. ...
