Do you mind e-mailing me also?
I currently work at a hospital, but I have to come back home to work due to my husband's job. I really need a job that is real flexible, because my daughter has special needs.
TIA!
Would you mind e-mailing me with this info...
if you don't want to post it here? TIA.
Would you mind e-mailing me what the name of the company is?

TJ would you mind e-mailing me I have a few questions I am confused about. I think you can from my f

I don't mind posting here - my exp has been very good sm
I like the platform, esp since they keep upgrading it; I have DSL and noticed a huge change since moving up in ISP speed, so be sure you have good connectivity and speed if you want to work there. I love my STM (manager) and have a good mix of work. Occasionally out of work but not often enough to make me upset, like some of the posters on here! I give them 4.5 points out of 5.
Why would there be a mailing
to all past MT's? What's that about?
no faxing/mailing

If they are mailing overnight, then they are using
a service such as Fed-Ex, UPS, etc., or maybe even the postal service. Not cheap by any means.
E-Mailing from site
My apologies to you for responding by e-mail. It is late and I hit the first tab.
I totally understand. I had some disturbing e-mails once from someone who did not agree with post I made in the past.
Ignore it. If they are just basically e-mailing
do not feel compelled to answer an e-mail that has other MT names in it. If it is directed right at you, then answer when you get the chance. Don't feel nailed to the computer.
Now if they are using IM, that is a different story. Instant messenger is control in my honest opinion and as an IC should not be part of the deal.
If you know your accounts in and out you may want to stay and just ignore some of the e-mails that get you hot and bothered.
I also am an IC for an online company that does mass e-mails when there is work to be done, but it is not directed right at me but to all MTs on that particular account. I do not feel the need to answer each and every e-mail unless I am the only addressee. Of course, you may not know if they are blind copying, but just my opinion.
I don't know what kind of mailing system
they are using but it has never gotten to me under 10 days and like I said that's after being mailed late the day of payday. So now when others tell me they mail their paychecks, I either turn down the job or don't even bother testing for the job. I am not in a position to be paid like that. I think that's the case for most people at the moment.
However, I am still looking.
Just like they save on postage by not mailing SM
paystubs anymore. Every little penny they save fills their pockets, not ours.
Higher up PM told me packets mailing out on 9/30.
.
you are correct :) It is more than typing, there is e-mailing and following up, but oh sooooo worth
/
If you are an AAMT member, they have a mailing list that corporate sm
members can use two to three times a year.
I don't see ANY MT company names on this list!! Everybody PLEASE start e-mailing.

Seems you're spending more UNPAID time/work e-mailing..sm
and xeroxing as if you were sitting there with no work. 
the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
What posting? (nm)
a
posting over and over
One reason these people keep posting is that they have multiple openings and are looking for the right fit.
Thanks for posting this. I know where I won't end up!
Thanks for the tip. You can bet I will not be posting anything
 about pay scale again, LOL. I was just trying to share something good and it backfired. Oh well, that's what I get for being happy I guess.
there was a posting...
about how they may require you to purchase expensive dictation equipment and you would always be out of work.
they say only 2 out of 10 will actually be hired. i applied with them. They send you a tape to transcribe with simple specs. i heard from them about 3 weeks later, and of course i failed.
if you go for it, im sure you'll do better as i only have 1.2 years experience with radiology. good luck.
You could be me posting

Posting (SM)
You obviously have not read the posting policies.
Company names can be used. It is individual accounts that cannot be discussed nor any information that identifies individuals at companies or otherwise. No company-specific information (i.e., internal memos, etc.).
I suggest you read the posting policies immediately. If you have any problems with any policy, you need to e-mail either myself (moderator@mtstars.com) or the Administrator (admin@mtstars.com). Either way, anymore of these petty complaints about posting poicies are going to be deleted.
in re of me posting
Are you on some kind of drugs? If not, maybe you need some. The original poster was only stating something that happened, you took it waaaay overboard chickie poo. Ease up. Life is short!
Thanks for posting! (sm)
If I am reading your post correct, it seems that the high producers would not triple their lines but someone transcribing lower lines would see a better increase. Does that sound about right?
One more question - what is your opinion on the platform for VR?
Thank you, again!
no one knows who is posting except to say....
website owners can see who is posting, see the IPS/DNS and what OS (operating system) many poster is on so this website CAN/COULD hold folks responsible for their posts.
Thank you for posting this!
They are advertising for radiology MTs and I was considering applying with them. Not gonna happen.....
Thank you all for posting. Appreciate it! nm

There is more than one ME posting here :)
but I'm not one who believes your company is supplying work to Barbados.
Instead there is an *appearance* of mining the workforce there for a CHEAPER labor force than what you can find in the U.S.
Where are your 200 online students located? In the US?
:)
another posting...
I see this person has posted again today. Is there anyway to check if this is a legitimate company? It is kinda hard to tell with an aol email address 
Thank you for posting that, SM
It sounds as if our experiences were very similar. I'm leaving at the end of next week. I can tell from your posts we were on the same large account.
I thought it was just ME. I was working hard too, trying to learn all the gazillons of doctors and locations, etc. and my line counts were in the toilet. I have 10 plus years of experience so I'm NOT a newbie. My DH and I figured I am making about $800/month less than I was a year ago at this time. Yep, it was THAT bad.
Oh, and nice people. Really nice people to deal with most of the time. However, nice isn't paying my bills!!
Anyway, thanks for posting, because it's really good to hear I'm not the only one! I feel so isolated working there.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have seen someone posting they had 15
accounts in their profile and that they had no work a couple of months ago. Who in the world wants 15 sets of account specifics to deal with and hundreds of dictators.
I'm so glad I left Webmedx. I now have 1 account that has enough work for me to work 24/7 if I want to.
Thanks for posting
I was thinking to supplement or do 2 part time. I have used DQS and really like it, maybe just because I got used to it, I don't know. I just don't like the feeling of being at the mercy of having income dependent on only one source, especially when things slow down and everyone seems to have TAT of about 30 seconds anymore on what is there. Anyway, thanks again for the info!
Hey where did u see a job posting for them?
Maybe if i reapply and get rehired they will PAY me the several thousand they already owe me! Yeah right! Run as far away as possible. Seriously though, please share with us the hiring process because I guarantee you at least 9 people are on the lookout and are dying to know.
What does sm and nm mean when posting?
Trying to learn the lingo!
?? Who IS this guy, & why is he posting all this
Why does he think any of us CARE about office politics in India?
Posting here regarding this,
A lot of people have not kept their contracted promise, at least I gather that, because they now have the prn program where for a lower line rate you can work anytime you want and at any line count you want. Apparently, months ago a lot of people were not living up to their promise, and so they hired to compensate. Now there are those who do keep a promise and run out of work because of the lack of balance. So they put in this prn program so that those of us who do keep the line counts and promises have more work when the prn program kicks in. Problem is, how does an MT keep a full time line promise when work keeps running out. I plan on asking for as many accounts as possible to stay on because work is low everywhere at least from what I can see and this company is at least honest regarding pay and the essentials. I think that it is combination of MDI having to keep client contract with TAT, and the overhiring to compensate when already-hired MTs did not keep their promise. MDI is trying to make up for that now, don't know, however, if enough people don't leave or if enough new accounts are not won, if we will ever be able to all have work.
Thanks for posting that...
some MTs do not take pride in their work and it is so frustrating.
Thank you for posting this..sm
Very interesting. I doubt that anything will actually come of it, at least in the near future, but it sure is nice to see our concerns in print and backed up by a study.
Thanks for posting this
Thank you for posting this! I work for Landmark and I start working for Probity in January. It's nice to see the opinions of my two employers and I liked the opinions they expressed. Intersting article.
Thanks for posting...
I have never personally worked with you before, but thank you for posting. As MTs we have our own frustrations, but I think we sometimes forget that MTSOs are facing their own issues as well. I imagine it's not easy to balance keeping in TAT and not overhiring, keeping MTs happy and also keeping clients happy. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes juggling that goes on that we MTs never deal with. That's part of the reason I am an MT and have no desire to be an MTSO. 
Thank you for posting this....
This is what I meant above by how a company is saying work this shift as an IC at this line rate. As an IC, I have the right to work when I choose to work, not when my clients choose. If my clients want to make demands (and yes I have one client that is an MTSO), then I would become an employee at that point and they must pay my taxes.
I've seen people post as employees saying they have no work during their shift and are asked to flex, which is also wrong. It's just crazy how this profession continues to be used and abused and now there are MTs convinced it's okay because they need a job. It's just a neverending cycle. JMO. 
Still posting ads over and over....
What a nutjob! Does she think if she posts just ONE more, maybe, just maybe someone will reply?
This TTS posting goes on and on and on
I work there, have been there for about 2 years or so, no problems at all, love it, no one looking over your shoulder, no one breathing down your neck, I receive my money on time. Don’t know what else to tell you but this from a happy employee.
Thanks for posting that....
That's depressing. What I don't understand is how come there's such a huge difference in pay. Aren't we basically QA'ing VR? I understand we're editing, but we're fixing a lot, too. I think the pay should not be so low and when I hired on, I asked about VR and was told that it would only be done in the interest of the MT. Well, 1/3 of my cpl is not in any MTs best interest. I guess it's a good thing I'm going back to school and getting away from the medical field.
Thank you - not just my posting name :)
I dun dood it.
Seriously, this has always been one of my primary concerns about using personal computers for work - from the company's standpoint, as well as the employee's - especially given the sensitive nature of our work. It is almost impossible for the company to maintain an appropriate level of security (or to verify it) without running the risk of a serious intrusion on employee privacy, whether intentional or accidental (won't be a defense in court).
Even scanning an employee's computer to check for open ports, for instance, which would seem to be one of the least intrusive checks, reveals information about what applications might be installed, since different applications are known to use certain ports.
The BEST PRACTICE is for employees to use one computer exclusively for work and another for personal purposes. I've never used one for both, preferring to purchase an inexpensive used PC (and you can get a dandy for very little money) for work and reserve my laptop for personal use. Of course, I really think the company should provide the work computer, but that seems to be something else that's going or gone by the wayside as the companies continue to shift their costs to the employee.
Did you see the 6 cpl job posting?
Hopefully nobody applied, that is HORRIBLE! They even list qualifications, want someone with experience, no newbies and I believe it said ESL dictators, not sure about that and all with the lovely pay of 6 cpl for actual lines typed. The actual lines typed more than likely means they have some templates that they don't pay for. I mean COME ON NOW, THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!
One thing about templates I have noticed (I get paid for them) but you DO have to change things in them sometimes and it isn't fair for the companies who don't pay for them. Anyways, I was just shocked at the 6 cpl and wondering if they actually got ANY responses to that one!
new job posting???
Has anybody applied here? And... got a favorable response?
