Yet another OSi coordinator bites the dust...
I'm tellin ya, the turnover for those positions sure makes it seem like the perfect dream job eh? 
Another coordinator bites the dust at OSi
There seems to be a lot of turnover with coordinators there. The one that just left was great.
Sorry the cobwebs and dust (sm)
on your womb is making you so bitter and hateful. Obviously have never had to heal from childbirth and take care of a newborn child at the same time. It takes time to heal just as it would in an illness or surgery. She isn't getting preferential treatment because she is pg nor is she taking off to go on a vacation. She is having a child. Should all women of childbearing age just be banned from working just in case they might have to take a few weeks off down the road? I bet the Indians would love that.
It has to be pure bitterness and jealousy that makes you feel this way toward younger women. Just makes you sound like an old, lonely bitty.
Sounds like another one bites the ASR/VR dust.
 Two words to describe medical transcription these days. PAY CUT.
Now that the dust has settled about Proveros.....sm
can someone give some details about the company, especially platform used, ESL ratio, lines required per pay period, and pay period intervals (bimonthly, weekly, etc.)? Thanks for all info!
OSi coordinator
If OSi is so bad why don't some of you take those jobs and straighten it out?
BITE.
Buzz off, old bag!
The coordinator sent out email to her MTs. NM
.
I would say you can thank your account coordinator
She has seen that you will do them so girlfriend you will get them right and left. She doesn't care about your line count, just work and get the repors out!
Their is an account coordinator who still does it. Also
the folks in ops are real bad about calling when it is not appropriate.
I miss my coordinator...
Only coordinator that doesn't do it is
She should have stayed gone the first time, she is the best, she does not allow cherrypickers.
Are you talking about the coordinator who
could not get a job any place else because she has no experience? So, she asked for her job back at OSI! I hope that is not the one you are referring to, and surely it isn't. You might be talking about the one who was once a trainer??
OSi coordinator job opening again? Another
I too am an ex account coordinator
Agree with everything you said.
She was my coordinator....She was there as of Sunday...
thanking us all for the hard work with TAT! I had my last day thank goodness, my head was spinning from the revolving door of ACs, TLs, etc!
account coordinator

Ask the recruiter. They don't bite. nm
coordinator quit
She still works there - so OSi cant be that bad 
I'll bite
1. How long have you been working as an MT? 11 years
2. How many DIFFERENT companies have you worked for (even if it was only for a few hours) in the last 10 years? (If you left but came back later that is only 1.) I have worked for 1 private practice, 1 hospital, and 3 services.
3. How many companies have you accepted an offer of employment from but then never actually started working for them? None.
4. How many companies have you quit working for within the first pay period? None.
5. How many companies have you quit from? I quit my first job due to moving. My hospital job was outsourced. I have left 2 of the 3 services I signed on with by choice after 6 months at each due to lack of work or lack of flexibility.
6. Have many companies have you been terminated from (I guess the word “fired” from is no longer politically correct) i.e. you were not meeting line requirements, QA requirements, time commitment requirements (signing on late, leaving early), or being told you don’t have the necessary experience/expertise for the accounts assigned to you, etc? I have never been terminated as such, but did lose a job to outsourcing.
7. How many companies have you left because they were bought out by another MTSO and you did not like how the new MTSO was treating you? None.
8. How many companies that you were working for completely went out of business (was not bought by another company) and told you that you had to find a new job yourself? None.
9. What is the shortest period of time that you have worked for one company? (Even if it was only for a few hours) What is the longest period of time that you have worked for one company? Shortest 6 months, longest 7 years.
10. Have you ever continued working for your former company while training with a new company? Yes.
11. Have you ever worked for two different companies (2 part-time or 1 full-time and 1 part-time) during the same time period? For how many months/years did you work for two different companies? Yes, once. Overlap by about 1 week.
12. What is your primary reason for applying to a certain company (pay, insurance, flexible schedule, equipment provided, sign-on bonus, referral from another MT, etc)? Pay and benefits are my main motivating factors. I really miss the stability of hospital employment (pay and benefits) and have not found anything that compares.
13. What is your primary reason for leaving a company (cannot maintain minimum required number of lines, not assigned accounts or job types as originally discussed, running out of work too frequently, difficult platform, computer slowness/crashes, management conflicts, QA conflicts, other “bait and switch” type of issues where the MTSO said one thing but you ended up doing something entirely different, personal, family, etc)? I will leave if workload is not what was promised and running out of work unable to make line counts to maintain benefits.
14. Are you really happy at your present company or are you just working there because you are afraid if you try another company it will be worse and not better? How long have you worked at this company? Do you plan to continue working at this company for at least 1 year (of course barring unforeseen personal or professional events). Would you be willing to give the name of your present company? I cannot say Im really happy, but not entirely unhappy. Of the 3 MTSOs I have worked for, I am happiest at this company. I have been there about 4 months. I do not plan to stay with this company long-term if I can find hospital employment again.
15. Do you think you will retired as a Medical Transcriptionist (or in the Medical Transcription field, such as an Editor, Supervisor, etc) or do you think you will switch careers at some point before retirement? Im not sure. Switching careers at this point would require me to go back to school and being in my mid 40s with young kids still at home, I doubt I will go back to school within the next 5 years. I do think I will retire from the medical field in some area, just not sure if it will be MT unless a hospital job comes up.
told em to bite it........

Oh boy. I have to bite my tongue on this one
Let me just say that if only one of the participants in this study would walk even half the walk that he/she talked, the MT world could be a better place. Talk about saying one thing and doing the complete opposite. Also would be more enlightening if the complete background history regarding MTing was published regarding some quoted in this article, i.e. the past companies he/she was running/associated with. It would shed a lot of interesting light and again, contradictions. Talk about 2-faced rhetoric. Sheesh. OK, I'll be good and shut up now.

The OP's right and it CAN come back to bite you.

Coordinator Position - Good/Bad (SM)
Was just offered a workflow coordinator position and am wondering if this would be a good move. Pay would be about what I make in an average month of MTing. Anyone been there/done that with reference to this type of job?? Any input would be much appreciated.
What makes a great coordinator?
I was wondering what makes a good coordinator? Like, what did she do that was different from the others? I've thought about trying to advance (not at OSi), and I'd like to be the kind of person that people say these kinds of things about? What did she do to make you look forward to coming to work?
If you do not have a lead, then the coordinator is in charge. sm
You can call the office (someone is either there or gets the messages and returns calls) or email or call the person who trained you. There is someone in charge of every account, even if not an official lead if the account is new.
I think I'm gonna go ahead a bite...
 I turned in my Keystrokes paperwork today for a RAD account starting Monday. It looks like most of the problems are with acute care accounts with more positives on the RAD accounts. I'm not worried about OT/paid holidays because I have an actual IC job with plenty of work if/when I want it. I'm just hoping that being this RAD account is new, there will be enough work to keep me qualified for medical. I see others who just posted recently are new hires also--good luck to all of us!
The truth will bite us if we are not careful
The reason why these groups prevail is that folks like us sit back and do nothing. Maybe that's because we don't know what to do.
At any rate, don't pass it off as senseless babble. It's about more than just medical transcription, but the medical transcription industry may be a bigger player than we all realize. Of course, the biggest players are money and commerce. It is reality.
I first heard about the Illuminati more than 30 years ago. Back then, the commentary was combined with predictions regarding the card with the magnetic strip that could be used to purchase such items as groceries, which has become reality but has not fully evolved to its final potential, such as disallowing the use of cash and only allowing certain obedient individuals to obtain stuff using the magnetic strip card. It was also predicted that this magnetic strip could hold over 100,000 words, which would include a synopsis of all of your transactions, including what books you checked out of the public library. There were some far out disturbing predictions such as the one where the invention of cable televsion was just a way to get the public to pay for underground fiberoptic wiring that would eventually be used to spy on every individual. I wonder what the new digital TV situation might have to do with this endeavor.
If you haven't been on the planet for as long as I, you may not remember the days before the invention of the ATM card. There was a time, for instance, when the only way we could pay for groceries was with cash and checks. There were few credit cards available at the time, but none could be used at the grocery stores or at so many other places as today, including drive-in fast food restaurants. Times are changing, albeit very slowly, but it is scarey to think of the end result.
I have no idea what we can do as individuals to combat the evils of the Illuminati other than to stop using money and to be totally homeless and starve to death, etc., which is a fate that I fear anyway if I continue relying on the medical transcription industry for a living.. I would certainly love for someone to enlighten me.
You said Bite Me first. As for Xmas? - I was off, thanks very much. PAID too. nm

Yes they did finally bite back
I also read those posts and picked up on the bravado with which the 'inside information' was shared.
I work for TT and the way they've been trashed on here since some accounts went to VR, they'd have defendants around the block if they were suing MTs simply for stating an opinion.
There's merit to this lawsuit or TT would not have even bothered pursuing it, plain and simple.
The moral of the story to everyone should be to keep the self-importance in check and to make 110% sure that if you're posting something as fact, you can indeed back it up. Otherwise, you too could end up being sued, not just by your employer/former employer but anyone else you are defaming.
I love working at TT.
And I could not possibly care less if I get flamed for that or not.
don't complain about how your hospital has too much work - it will bite you in
the hiney!!!
You may end up losing your job to an outsource service and end up making less money with horrible benefits!! Count your blessings.
You can only kick a dog so many times before they bite back!

Let's just say I'll bite my tongue for fear of
getting kicked off the board for stating how things have been since they started offshoring. But I think you get the general idea.
Email some of the people who enjoy it there and see what they have to say. They won't bite! :) nm

Wonder if that's why a coordinator recently left abruptly
That happened with a day or two notice, and the leads were dumped with no notice at all. Wonder if she knew what was going down or what is about to go down and decided to leave because of it?
I can't believe a supposedly professional adult said bite me! HA!!! sm
Now we ALL want to work for Proveros and get invited to bite the management woohoo!
sry--meant I'm gonna go ahead AND bite
/
Bite the Wax Tadpole??? No, I have never heard that expression before, please explain ...
You learn something new every day..
I told the coordinator about it long ago, and she didn't have a problem with it. sm
As you said, though, the new handbooks are coming out, so we'll see. I would think that would be a tough rule to enforce. I have worked 2 jobs almost all of my life. What I do on my own time when I am off the clock is my business as long as it is not in direct conflict with my full-time position. That's just my thought, though .....
