A raise? Are you kidding me? I've not heard anything
Posted By: What a joke! on 2006-07-03
In Reply to: Where did work ethic go? - JM
but NO forever when I've asked for a raise, and I'm productive, accurate, work my schedule and extra if needed. And the rates are low because the extra $$$ stay in the MTSO's pocket, or they are competing with offshoring cheap-labor wages. I think you need a reality check!

You are kidding! This is the first I have heard of this
about this company on this board! I did a thorough check and worked with the recruiter for a while, and she seems to have been wonderful in making sure to wait to start me until there is enough work. I have been broke for a year and just finishing with IC, and looking forward to this job. I heard you can do 2K a day easily! Please tell me this is not going to happen again! Oh, no....
20 years, never heard of a raise in production outside of payscale...
and we all know those went down due to supply and demand no longer in our favor.
You've got to be kidding - right?
LOL
you've GOT to be kidding, right?
you don't know that for a fact.
you've got to be kidding....
you must be either related to her or on commission with that company. That's a company that is in the process of self-destruction just because of the CEO and the CEO alone. They can't keep the GOOD MTs because the GOOD MTs know better!!! I did QA and training for them - had one MT quit in 3 days because of the degradation and verbal abuse on the phone alone!!! If you like calls all hours of the day and night (constant interruptions for invalid points) and don't mind being expected to LIVE in front of your computer, then go for it.
Also, there were 18 different times in less than a year when my line counts were sent to me for billing purposes that were missing quite a bit of what I had transcribed (good think I kept a log!!). We're not talking $10 or $20 - more like a couple hundred.
You've GOT to be kidding!!!
You are just what the company wants - a puppet who can spout back exactly what they have planted in your head.
Good grief - get a clue!!!
i've worked for MQ for a long time and never got a raise

I've heard only positive things about them. So, I applied, but haven't heard a word. Maybe fl

10? You've got to be kidding. There aren't that many that could make it. nm

You''ve got to be kidding. It sounds like they are looking for some suckers
to do a free month of work. That is so ridiculous. You just know at the end of the end they are going to tell you after all that work that it didn't pass because you didn't put a comma where it needed to be etc.. and how are you going to dispute any of it or get paid. There is no way in ###$#$# that I would work for a place like that. Sounds like a bad scam of some sort.
A lot? You've got to be kidding. Name them. "Big schools" still don't equal experience.

I've only heard of Intellitype. Never heard of Teletype.

You've got to be kidding! It makes a HUGE difference. I sure wouldn't want to work with
What the heck? I've never heard that in the 8 yrs I've worked here. sm
Go back to your STM or over his or her head.
I've been a QA 15 years and I've never heard
of any company only paying for the actual Keystrokes of the blank. You would literally make less than minimum wage that way. Waaay less.
That is MTSO PR b.s. A raise is a raise in line rate. A bonus or incentive is just that. NOT sm
a raise.
This is the first I've heard about it...sm
and why would someone leave the company over QA problems? If they're not a good MT then that's not the company's fault.
I've heard of them, go for it. nm

Yes I've heard of them
and worked for Tanya for awhile. She is extremely, extremely nice and amicable, but it just wasn't the job for me. Hope this helps.
I've heard both yes and no, so I'm not sure. Most say yes. nm

I've always heard...sm
that there are an average of 10 five-letter words in a 65-character line, which would mean there are also 10 (or 9 possibly) spaces you are paid for. So 55 characters without spaces would probably be about the same as as 65-character line.
I've done a few checks on reports by dividing number of words by 10 to get total lines and/or number of characters divided by 65 to get total lines and it is pretty close to a 65-character line with spaces... not always, because a lot depends on what you're transcribing, whether it uses a lot of big words or small words, etc., but I think overall it pretty much averages out. You'd have to try it and do the comparison on that particular account or work type to find out for sure. Hope this helps.
I've never heard of that (sm)
I had contacted Sprint to see if DSL was available and it wasn't. I guess I'll call them back to inquire about that. Thank you.
10-15 cpl for CMT? The most I've ever heard sm
was a half a cent or three quarters of a cent more than without the CMT. I'd also question how much this person actually knows if she has to point out that CMT needs to be through AHDI/AAMT and not college, MT school, etc.? I mean, last I heard there is only one place to obtain CMT cert.
thanks...I've never even heard of that before
I've never heard of that either.
We get paid per line, but like the AP said, we get credit for the full report. I have never heard of anyone that gets paid per correction. That's nuts.
I'm not really sure about PT. I've heard that they do or they used to and don't (sm)
anymore. You could go to their website www.keystrokestranscription.com and either contact them by e-mail or phone. I'm sorry, I wish I could answer you but I really don't know for sure.
I've heard the same about them.
Plus, my company is losing several accounts to them. They do offshore quite a bit of their work which is why they can boast low rates for clients.
I've always heard it used
as in jockeying for position, as in jones'n around to strike the first blow in a cat fight.
I've never heard of them, but
I looked at their website. They say American only. I find it curious looking at the executive management page that many of the management are former Medquist people. I don't know if that's good or bad!
I've heard of them but have never worked for them.
Originally, it was a mother/daughter team in Montana. Evidently now, the daughter's in Wisconsin but they still have an office in Montana. Nice enough people. I worked with the son-in-law for a while at another job. The workload is easy, but I don't know how steady it is. I applied with them when I was a newbie but found a job elsewhere for more pay.
I've heard the same thing..
The announcement is expected sometime in Dec - oh joy, just in time for x-mas! How thoughtful of them! not...
I've heard that about this company.....sm
it's too bad that they require new hires to work one weekend day, otherwise I'd be applying with them.
I've been there longer than that and I never heard ot it.
aa
Wow! Ridiculous! I've heard it all now.
.
Really?? I've barely ever heard of them. nm

Here's a company I've never heard of ...
This is a company that seems to be hiring. I believe they are in Virginia. I know nothing; just stumbled across their website and thought they looked interesting.
http://www.medgarde.com/transcriptionists.htm
I'm not liking what I've heard so far!
Did this all happen recently?
no - it is true I've heard of it also nm
::
I've heard of the same problems with others, which is probably one
reason no one seems to work there and has no response. It wouldn't take but one bounced check for me to leave. I can't imagine any response they could have that could justify it.
I would never had applied with any company that called themselves a typing company because I feel like it says something about their attitude and you are just a typist and not a transcriptionist.
I've never heard ONE manager say that. nm
.
I've recently heard about
I've recently heard about companies which, when you hire, insert a hidden contract clause preventing an MT from hiring with other companies.
Is this a common practice?
I've heard and typed that before.
I don't really see the humor, it is just technical terminology. Just my opinion.
Hmmm - now where've I heard THAT before?
.
I've never heard of this company.
Maybe their transcriptionists don't frequent this board.
I've heard of a lot of companies, what was L&H? nm

Amazingly, I've never heard of one
In all my years doing this, I've never even gotten dental clinic notes interspersed with my other stuff. I still cringe if I get something from the oral maxillofacial guys because that's the specialty I have the absolute least practice with and I'm unfamiliar with most of the terminology.
I think what they do is so consistent that for the most part dentists predominantly just do their notes by hand on the big picture of the mouth in the chart and call it a day.
Asking for a raise isn't going to do it. There is a policy for raise increases.

i've heard nothing good about transolutions
x
Never heard of them. I've been in the industry 30 years.
g
I've heard it is worse now, using their own software
nm
From what I've heard, I'd go with MedWare and would not consider Spheris.
That's just from the reading I've done. I think Spheris used to be Edix, and my understanding is that the software holds people back from producing well.
