You 'had' condescending people???
You may also want to look up the meaning of condescending. There is nothing condescending about my post.
ESL - SPANISH DICTATOR
AND UNFORTUNATELY NOT AN 800 NUMBER FOR DIAL IN TO GET THE DICTATIONS. Hospital will not invest the money to make the wave files available either. I just read this posting. I didn't see the others that were posting bad things about me until tonight. Some people just don't accept that you need excellent skills to make top money. Nothing comes easy. Thus my offer to pay more just to get this guy done. Thank you for all of your help. Karen
Cojones is a vulgar Spanish word for testicles, NM
How kind of you to say that. Had to look that one up. So here it is for others not also knowing the descriptive term I was called.
Are the bulk of the ESLs you work on heavy Spanish?
Thanks for all the other information you have given me too.
Not so sure many MTs are not hanging themselves -
Saw it for nearly 5 years at the last placed I worked and did QA where grads from the top schools dropped like flies for careless work, a less than adequate grasp of the English language, and just plain old poor comprehension of diseases processes and an understanding of medicine. IF you are a truly good MT my belief is you will always have a job any place you want.
Hanging on to both
Will the new employer let you begin on a part-time basis for a few weeks since it is IC. I know what you are going through but a word of caution . . . I once got a part-time job with a national company, thinking I would quit my full-time if it was a good fit since I was very dissatisfied with my full-time. However, after all the paperwork and even training, I was still not working in the part-time after 3 weeks. I was never even paid for the training time. I told them to forget it as I did not have the time to keep waiting, and I was soooo glad I had not outright quit the old job.
Hanging by a Thread..
Yes, I currently work for HIS, but not for the reasons you have. I am only holding on for the insurance and PTO. My supervisor is unbelievable rude and all of my accounts are 97% ESL. If HIS is not being sold, why are people leaving left and right? It makes me wonder if the employees in-house know more than the remote staff.
Yay! Here's to hanging onto the ship!

Still hanging in here at Spheris
I have been with Spheris for 5-1/2 years (originally with Healthscribe) and my income has definitely declined since they took away all my original accounts and gave them to India. When they took away unrestricted OT a few weeks ago, I was really ready to bail and applied for several jobs and actually have a job I can jump to at any second if it gets too bad. However, since then, the work has picked up with no one working overtime, unless the accounts go out of TAT, I have been able to keep my production up and it seems as though OT, in my accounts at least, will probably hold out for a while since we are constantly out of TAT lately. I am producing almost double the required lines per week, and as long at the work is there for me and I can put in some overtime, I am going to hang in here. I wouldn't encourage anyone to start with this company, and I wouldn't apply here again if I left, as I would have no idea what kind of situtation anyone coming in would come into. I have no idea what is going on with this company but I don't like the general feeling of it anymore. I do like some of the conveniences and although some people hate a time clock, I love it. The minute Spheris took over Healthscribe and we got a time clock, I had an immediate raise due to the OT I was already putting in at HS, but not getting paid for. As I read the board and the pros and cons of all the companies, I realize that for now, this job is working for me, but the minute it isn't anymore I will be out of here. Having a job already lined up if I need it, at least gives me some security. However, I am set to learn the new platform soon and that could be a final deciding factor for me when my accounts switch over. I'm just waiting to see how that all plays out. Once I do leave here, I will never again work for a company that sends work overseas. I definitely never feel appreciated here that's for sure.
Nope!! I'm still hanging in there too (sm)
I would love to know what is going on and sitting here most of the day sucks!!
Well a painter wouldn't be hanging sm
out at said paintees house on a regular basis painting would they? They'd complete THE JOB and be done with it - this is asking for an ONGOING in your face scheduled committment of time - HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Condescending AC?
Got any initials??? Please????
you sound condescending
If you feel you are so right what is the purpose of this board that is provided for us? I grant you should have open communication with your supervisors, but in the past this board has helped tremendously with some issues. there's nothing wrong with asking more than 1 person until you can get your supervisor to answer. you may get some insight from someone as a MT. You just never know the reason why that person may be asking here. Try to be positive!
There was nothing snide or condescending in her remark.
If you're that hypersensitive, please seek help for your disorder instead of reading between the lines and trying to censor other people.
Offered you a job but was hateful and condescending?
About what?!?!? Details! Details! LOL! This is too good.
I honestly think you're being condescending and
rude about the comfy jammies statement. This career and its earning implications is so more vast than women wanting to stay home in their jammies. Please don't be so ignorant. Of course the MTSOs played on our desire to stay home and raise our families, but lots of other factors played into our pay rates plummeting - offshoring and competition among the big nationals. I've been in this career, working from home, my entire adult life, nearly 27 years now, and my choices were not based on my desire to - stay home in my jammies - as you succinctly put it. Even now as I look at new companies - the bottom line average offer is 8 cpl - period I have great credentials and experiences, but that is it. Will I sacrifice my entire life style for 27 years or accept the 8 cpl eventually? I'll not toss my lifestyle to the wind - my family is too important to me. Not my jammies...
Wow. You thought that was rude? I didn't see any name calling or condescending
attitude like a lot of other people's posts. No, Sara Beth and Billy Bob did not ask a legitimate question. It was a flame attempt and you're helping to fuel the fire.
Annoying, Condescending, Uppity Snakes in Suits
I feel like I had my life sucked away sorting through this condescending, judgmental post. sm
While I do not disagree with some of your points, I am not sure what you hoped to gain by posting all of this. The ones you address almost certainly will not recognize themselves, and even if they do, they will not change. And for those of us who are NOT that way and do strive to be the best we can be in all respects, it is just a stating of the obvious.
I am an old timer too, although I hate to think of myself in such unflattering terms. I started with carbon paper and a Selectric typewriter, transcribing dictation from vinyl belts. I do NOT long for the good old days in that respect, although I do miss the days when line rates were higher and being paid by the gross line was the norm ... sigh.
As we all know, the times are tough now in the MT industry, and it seems we would be best served to help and support one another rather than chastising and scolding others for their posts. Of course, as I type this, I realize my post could be seen that way as well, and for that I apologize. I very much believe in the laws of attraction and the power of positive thinking, and I have never seen negative energy attract anything other than more negative energy.
I cannot seem to sleep tonight, so I guess I might as well transcribe a bit more and make my insomnia profitable. 
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#
x
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
Because people like you come on this
because you don't have any problems with MDI then no one else possibly could either. I'm really glad your experience has been so positive. I'm not saying mine has been bad but there are issues at management level whether you want to believe it or not. Have you read any of these posts? Does that answer your question?
Who are these people?
I'm not sure who the devil-nurse is but I know who the current manager is. Who is the first one you mentioned? Her initials are okay if you care to answer.
some people
not only is she too young to read the newspaper to find out about the divorce rate and many people maintain relationships with their exhusband she also can't take a joke and is plain crazy and mean to boot.
Probably not seeing that a lot of people are having
nm
I think on the people on DQS yes.
:
How can you sit there and lie to these people?!!!!!
ROFLMAO!!!
Okay, former OSI people!
the OSi management person is who is in here doing damage control/cheerleading under the name "Happy OSI-er"??
Is it PD, MB, Flossie, or one of the lower level cronies that they put up to it? My guess is that it's Flossie, but it could be any of them.
Could they be any more transparent?
Uh...what? Like I said, I wonder some of the people
absolutely nm
I have never met so many people in SM
one field who have anger problems, personality problems, severe mental illness, you name it. They are drawn to this field like flies.
That the people who do your QA
I always change inappropriate things. Yet, if I do have to send a report to QA they change it back to "verbatim" and deduct me. That is NUTS. If you know it is a "she" and not a "he" verbatim is out the window as far as I am concerned. Some QA people need to get a life. We MTs take our jobs seriously. 
that is how most people pay
It depends on what you call making money. You get paid, so you would make money.

Thanks for the info.

I just can't believe people sometimes - sm
I am not pro-MT or pro-MTSO. I am a person who tries to treat people fairly and wants to be treated fairly myself.
To the person who got fired: Why in heaven's name would a company keep someone who makes errors, apparently consistently, takes off at the last minute and has problems? The bottom line is THEIR credibility suffers for your actions and they are a business. I'm sure everyone is sorry your are having problems in your life but come on! How long is someone supposed to wait around until you get your life together? You really expected that? You said, they knew I was having problems and that things would turn around? Say what???!!!!
Like I said, sorry you are having problems in your life but the world still goes on. The place you worked for very well could have said they don't want work produced by you. Why would they? By your own admission, there were errors, glaring enough that the MTSO and the place you typed for couldn't take a chance with you anymore.
This is what's wrong with the world today. Everyone wants not just a second chance, but a 3rd, 4th, etc. Let me say that no one can put up with mistake after mistake in a MEDICAL report. It just can't happen, no matter what the reason. While I'd be upset if this happened to me, I'd realize it was my own fault and take responsibility for it. Why blame the company for your actions? Get your act together and if you are as good as you think you are, you will surely find something else.
I have to wonder what it is about these people that
make this observation about V. I have known and worked with her and have followed her career and she is one of the best MTs, QA persons, knows-about-the-MT-business world people I've known (and I've known her for 10 years). I also know she has solid backing from a number (not just 1 or 2) of well-known MTSOs and she would not have that if these allegations were true. I doubt those who put her down will find jobs with several of those MTSOs because of their loyalty to her. Her dedication to this profession cannot be questioned unless it is by someone who comes across poorly, IMO.
WOW I can't believe people would lie about that
I mean, do they not think that they might get caught when they actually start to work? Crazy, but it gave me a good laugh.
could be quite a few. The people in
human resources (love the ratsources) have no idea about transcription but like to think they are important and run slipshod over people. After all, they control your check and your benefits.
