A renegade medical transcriptionist rants about the inherent crappy nature of his former job. He used to have no choice, so he held on to that job because there weren't many other jobs available to him at that time. He used to be a victim of global exploitation occasionally masquerading as outsourcing.

Why Forward This?

Below is the e-mail in which Ms. Medina (yes, she deserves a little respect, being single, bosomy, statuesque, good looking, and all -- at the age of 40-something) bragged about a new account. I know that such communication should be confidential. Now why did she forward this to someone who's no longer part of her organization? Now do you believe the oxymoron I was telling you about?

Read the last part in bold. That was her message. Notice how she tries to win the favor of her employees by complimenting and flattering them. Read between the lines. Do I smell delusions of grandeur?
