"The most miserable group of people in the world"? Great attitude for a Lead.

In Reply to: Maybe nothing available that fits your skills and what they are looking for. That doesn't mean - KS LEAD

Hope you're not one for long.

    That is certainly a selfish attitude isn't it? There are more in the world

    "The Suits" is the proper term for these people.
    There are Suits in every industry.  They are the MBAs and they consider business a giant chess board.  So much fun to move all the little pieces around and see what happens.  Don't be afraid to sacrifice your pawns. 
    I am not miserable at all. I am just tired of excuses of why people cannot work! nm

    They are a great group to work with and
    if you are a good MT, very accommodating. Good Luck!
    E-mail your lead so she can let the appropriate people know...
    they can't fix it if they don't know about it...
    Same here...super-nice group of people (nm)
    .
    I venture a guess that it is the same group of people..
    flaming others. Not sure what they get out of it, good attention, bad attention, even bad attention is attention and it seems that may be what is going on here. Perhaps pent up frustration at other stuff in their lives and they take it out here, on innocent posters. Just a guess. I've been coming here for years, but this seems to be the worst of the worst of behavior lately.
    Keystrokes lead MTs and management team are great. I am sure I
    will be flamed but I really like my lead and have never had anything but positive experiences with anyone in Keystrokes.

    The nay-sayers will start their bashing now I am sure.
    You are the most immature group of people I have ever encountered. Go to work.
    nm
    right attitude, this opportunity is for smart, open-minded people.........nm
    nm
    DSG - Really rude group of people, especially the acute care side.
    Got tired of their snarky remarks and moved on. Make 25% more where I am now doing easier QA and really nice group of people. Good luck to you!
    The best job in the world! I cannot say enough great things about Keystrokes!!!!! The best there is

    System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
    when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.

    Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.

    A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
    Since it's a private group on Facebook, you have to click on "request to join group" sm
    It takes about a day to be added after the request is put in.
    As a shift lead I made $15 an hour, but did QA plus lead duties...
    I also worked terrible hours with no differential for them. I think it just matters on the company.
    Might be only the endocrine doc in a GI group, only the pacemaker doc in a cardio group, etc. nm

    I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people

    I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 


    I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 


    There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments


    Great, there are people out here who...

    are the sole support of their families (who usually need to eat regularly, wear clothes and shoes and need electricity and other "luxuries."


    You would tell someone in that position to be grateful for the opportunity to spend time with their children in that case?  How much quality time can a parent have with kids if they are worried about paying the bills?


    Great people....
    I was hired by Alltype a couple of weeks ago.  Everyone is professional and friendly.  They pay excellent and they hire both employee and IC status.  When the account that I was hired for was having technical problems they offered me an hourly wage compensation becuase it was not my fault.  Now thats a company that cares about their transcriptionists.  I'm pretty sure I'll be with them for a long, long time.
    Great people nm

    These people who think 40K is great sm

    weren't around when this was a real career, when the pay scale was 11 cpl+ as an employee with benefits and a normal amount of paid time off during the year, equipment provided by the company, internet paid by the company.


    Fast forward from then until today and what you have is a clerical job with clerk salary.


    Yep. Great people.
    I worked for them many, many years ago, but absolutely love the owner, Cindy, and her husband. (Back then, not sure about now), the pay was great and I felt like a member of the family. Highly recommended.
    The people are great to work with
    and the pay is good and on time. I do find the work isn't as steady as I'd like though, but hey, that's the MT business, right?
    Pay is a bit low, but great bunch of people. sm

    Clinic work is super easy -- 7 to 7-1/2 cpl -- and I think acute care pays 8-1/2 cpl.  They pay once a week, direct deposit, work is done in Word.


    Hope this helps.



     


    Great for some maybe....but they are nice people...nm

    That was great. My heart goes out to the MDI people, too. nm

    It is not "THE WORST"!
    Please, give it a try. I love it and I work out of the Dallas office. I have a couple of friends that have worked out of other offices and were not exactly thrilled, but I think the Dallas office is the best.
    Just because "the client wants it", does NOT
    And going along with what a morally bankrupt client wants doesn't make it 'right', either.

    I used to have a business of my own once. Service-related, but not MT. Sometimes clients asked for things that were just WRONG. As small as my business was, I still had the backbone to say 'NO'. It's sad that these big MTSOs, with oh, so much money backing them up, don't have the same backbone.

    They seem to have forgotten:
    'TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT'.
    Seems like the problem is becoming more widespread. Well, the people that think MQ is so great may
    not after they are in the same situation. You know, things are great until they arent. One thing is for sure, it will change and all these people that are getting bonuses etc with tons of work are bound to be right along with us in the very near future. Guarantee it. MQ is after very VERY short TAT and so that will become companywide as it is already. Cant run a 1 hour TAT and have people not running out of work constantly. That also is a given.
    Great people..AWFUL platform!!!nm

    Consider yourself in the inner circle. She is great to people she likes but
    quite the opposite if she does not. There is no pattern either, all a whim. I am lucky that she likes me, but I am afraid that the knife will someday be in my back.

    JLG as a company has been great to me. Do not let the recruiter spoil the opportunity to work for a great company. Just grin and bear it because once you are in, you do not have to deal with her.
    I work for Allegiant too - great people and a
    nm
    Yes, some really great, talented people have left, and that's
    always a danger sign to me. If upper management keeps being mentioned as a reason these good people are leaving, somebody should take notice. This company seems to be hemorrhaging talent and keeping an incompetent, power-hungry suit. It's hard to know whether to leave or stay. I would not recommend them to anyone right now.
    Great people, IC only, low pay, easy accounts, sm

    direct deposit, paid weekly, always on time.


    Hope this helps.  Good luck!


    Good! Great people to work for!

    Just by posting that here will help a great deal of people
    Thank you!
    Forever, people had 2 jobs, not just MTs. And great
    This is what i mean by you pilot your life, your life shouldnt just be floating you thru life.  Over the course of about 2 years, I have made conscious effort to make my life work for me. Figured out what platforms I like, what type accts.  What kind of equipment works best for me, how to efficiently handle docs and files.  In word based platform, I am Speedy Gonzales as far as how I get in and out, how I process docs. Still spend same amount of time on actual edit and type, those you can only do so fast and be correct but all other aspects, I am fast. You find your fit, which is not a one size fits all.  But, working 2 jobs is not the territory of onlyl the MT world. My dad did it while my mom also worked as RN. 
    Someone asked me about "the email" sm
    It was just your basic recruiting email, probably got my address from an AHDI/AAMT membership list. Come work for us, we have competitive wages - I deleted it right away b/c I'm happy (obviously!) at Webmedx!
    Yep. Me too. Nice people, great place to work!
    .
    Worked for them years ag. GREAT people to work for. nm

    Proscript is a wonderful company, great people. nm
    x
    Great place. People are super to work sm
    with and answer your questions, etc.  Pay well and always on time.  If I ever work at home again, I will go back there first.
    Great bunch of people, plenty of work sm
    pay on time, around 9 cpl depending on account (without spaces) or 8 cents line (with spaces). Some accounts use long distance with Laniers others use Emdat, others use a different word-based platform that is real easy to learn.IC only, you commit to a set amount of lines per day, 24 hour turnaround time, they leave you alone to do your work. I would have stayed forever but I needed the benefits.
    Transtech has great people but work has been low for 5 months...nm
    nm
    I only worked there briefly, but great people, and pay always on time. sm

    They do have a thing where you have to get a paper check for the first 90 days, then you can have direct deposit.   The account that I was on used ExText.


    Hope this helps.  Good luck. 


    Proscript is a great place. Nice QA people. nm
    xxx
    Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
    I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  Good luck on whatever you decide. 
    I've heard the pay isn't that great, nice people tho. NM

    Hmm, so "the States" have caused issues?
    Wikipedia is not a real good resource and can be self-written (see their own disclaimers). I'm seeing closer to 12% Muslim India and I feel sorry for India that is happening, especially after the horrid Glasgow incident in Scotland.

    I'm glad the tech team in India gave help, but I've found the tech team here in the good ol' U.S., where the source of work comes from to fund us all to begin with, quite adequate. I feel no need for others to come in, take over and tell us how to run our medical system or record the treatment of our fellow countrymen.

    Sassenachs = outsiders or outlanders.

    I've had good relations with Hindu people HERE in the U.S., U.S. citizens who chose to live within my country and its standard of living. Spiritual and sweet-tempered U.S. citizens.

    Yet medicine and treatment of our people are none of other countries' affairs or business and it's ironic we're turning our own production over to other nations to employ our own people. Ironic and disgusting in a most base way. Trying to run it from afar invites revolution for change. Count on it.

    She sounds like Elizabeth on "The View" !

    why be so miserable about your job? is there...
    some other kind of work you can or want to do? honestly people, money is not everything and if you are working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet you are killing yourself for nothing but paying the bills.
