People Leaving
I think a lot of people may be leaving just because of the unknown. Myself I plan on sticking it out. Of course we got the short update today. I myself need the insurance and love the time off.
Not sure who your sup is, but i guess i have been lucky as a remote MT. I have had not been given any thing bad to say about anyone in Toledo, or remote sups. At this point all i can do is wait and see.
Some people are posting they are leaving Transcend because of QA problems. Anyone know about this.
:
Most people get lucky and get good accts. I was also one put on an acct that had me leaving para
s
can you tell me why you are leaving WMX. Am thinking of leaving too. nm
nm
I suppose
they would have told me by now if they were unhappy with my production or my hours.
suppose i should
would like information regarding employment w/ this company. not interested in gossip... would like information that would help me decide whether this company would be worth considering an offer from.
IF VR is suppose to be
better quality, faster, then the facilities and transcription companies are already ahead in the game because their MTs will be able to do more, so why decrease their pay at all since they will be getting twice the amount of work and better quality. Is that what VR is all about? Did MTs pay decrease when they moved from standard typerwriters to electric typerwriters from electronic typerwriters to computers? Since when does better technology mean decreased pay? Is this really better technology or continued lack of value for those who do the work?
she is right, she is not suppose to cut sm
you a check without your SS number. She has to have that to cut you a 1099.
If you make less than 600 you don't have to claim it anyway.
If it were me, she would not get a computer back until I got my check!
Curiosity, why did you NOT sign any paperwork? Why would you agree to that?
I'm sure I'm suppose to be an example
probably thinking that I'm a retiree I can't afford to defend myself. LOL Fortunately I have a good attorney. He's also a personal friend. LOL
I suppose 4000/mo is too low for you?
What world do you live in?
Fired you too, I suppose?
Believe everything you read, huh chickenneck? We got you again, and proved our point again. She starts this week, and a nice healthy rate as well. Jealous, I know...stop wasting your valuable work time spread rumors and gossiping and you too may be one of the lucky ones! HAHAHA!
No, you are a recruiter. I suppose that does
zz
and I suppose they are HIPPA
compliant? Cannot wait for EMR.
ok lets suppose you make
9 cpl - and I'll average that on 1200 lines a day, that amounts ot 13.50/hr. Thats not worth sitting in your chair for 8 hours now is it? 10 cpl - 15/hr. and I seriously doubt you make more than that. Thats a lot of busting butt for such a low wage. On a good platform with fair counting system an experienced MT should be able to type 2000 lines per day, thats with breaks, and going along at an even pace.
Suppose nobody will see this now since it's off main page. NM

If they point, I suppose she's young.

actually not MDI, but I suppose there are insensitive managers everywhere! nm

I suppose it depends on what accounts you are on
All of my accounts have been over loaded with work this past month. I'm currently doing 2500 lines a day. Maybe your friend should ask about getting more backup accounts added to her queue.
I suppose it is too much to ask. Sorry for trying to get impartial answers.
.
AND I SUPPOSE YOU GOT PAID ON TIME LAST PAY PERIOD? NM
X
Don't you suppose they realize that - have you asked for a backup? (sm)
I feel like I have sung this song before.
I suppose it depends on which accounts have openings. nm
nm
Suppose it just adds to the hominess. One big happy

I suppose if CEOs had their way, we would be eating worms
and be thanking them for paying us the few pennies to afford our tasty worms, lest they give us another cut in pay while increasing their profits...
So what is the suggestion if all nationals are going to VR for these reduced rates. I suppose a lot
of people will just stop coming into this profession as I expect they already have and others will train for other jobs. No sure what the future holds thats for sure. Seems like no money so that will move a lot of people out of this. Who needs all the aggravation that we are given for no money.
Do you happen to know which companies HUP outsources to other than MQ. I suppose the best thing
would be to call HR but will they give out this information. Not sure who to call at these hospitals.
Seems a pretty selfish attitude ... I suppose you also choose sm
the work types you want to do and leave the cra* for everyone else. If you don't want weekend work, type for a clinic. Otherwise, you should pull your share of the load with the rest of us.
that is true about the bonus money, all works out in the end, I suppose. nm

Depends upon how your company counts things, I suppose. sm
I like both platforms. Bayscribe is easy to use, and the Expander emulates PRD+, which I was used to. The spellchecker is kind of clumsy -- that could definitely use some tweaking. The thing I liked the most about Bayscribe was at the end of each report, you saw the line count for that report and how much you made, plus a total of lines for all reports and the total number of lines you had made for the day.
I am currently using ExText, and it is also easy to use. I have to go to ichart to view my line count, though, and you cannot get it on a report-to-report basis. The CTRL+I feature is useless to me since my employer does not count headers or footers. I quit using it because I hated to see what a big difference there was at the end of the day. I could do 300 lines per hour on Bayscribe. With the current setup, maybe 250. I can do 300 if I just sit and type as fast as I can with no breaks, but that cannot last for 8 hours solid.
Either platform is okay. I still kinda miss WP51 -- think DOS-based programs were faster -- but you can't hold on to a dinosaur. And, obviously that is just my opinion. Hope it helps. 
No argument about AHDI sucking an egg, but I suppose it is just personal sm
preference. When I started transcribing 35 years ago or so, I had never heard of AAMT or anything like it, but the people in the Medical Records Department (which of course his now referred to as HIM -- why keep things the same if you can change them constantly for no rason) who transcribed the reports were called transcriptionists. The machine I used to access the dictation was called a transcriber.
Of course, it is no big deal and I shouldn't get so hung up with labels. I worked briefly for an Indian company (felt like I was sleeping with the enemy but that's another story), and they called us transcribers … ugh.
I suppose it probably varies with each account. My primary has been slow sm
since the holiday, but I am able to get my lines. I'm hoping it picks up soon.
Hope this helps.
Aren't you a positive person? I suppose you work in the office at HIS. lol nm

I emailed also, but haven't heard back yet. I suppose it will take a while to go through everyth
great line rate? I suppose that rules out the beast
haha
The rest is silence? I suppose, really strange, never mind, I can get a list elsewhere...nm
nm
I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.
Anyone leaving?
Is anyone leaving companies for lack of work or is this just a slow time of year for transcriptionists? Having tough time making lines.
Leaving
In my experience, our work has always slowed down just before school starts. Most people are focusing on buying school clothes, books, supplies, etc., and aren't taking the time nor spending the money to go to the doctor or into the hospital for elective surgeries. Believe me, after the kids get into school and start passing the "bugs" around, it will pick up - or at least it always does for us.
Leaving
Would any of the MTs who have left mind sharing where they went and if things have worked out any better. I am feeling like it is just trading one bag of crap for another in this business.
Leaving
I am leaving for a few reasons, mainly because I got a better offer, more $$, benefits, etc.
I was moved to Columbus from another office. There is lots of work, I'm on DQS. However, I had much more schedule flexibility in my other office. I'm an SE, buy produce more than full-time. Since the switch to DQS, if I work 15 minutes less than my scheduled "shift" I get questioned on it, even if I have produced 1400 lines that day. My old office (the one I was hired on) did not require a set schedule.
Mostly I am leaving because of money - 2 cents more per line, and only a line commitment required each day, not a set schedule.
I'm leaving MQ...
and I will never go back. I've been there for years with no raises. They just came out with a 'rewards' program that isn't a reward, it's a pay cut. They are currently being sued by their clients for over-billing and by their transcriptionists for under-paying. In order to pay for their mounting legal problems, they are moving their transcription to India.
Why is she leaving OSi again?
She hasn't been back here that long?
Leaving OSI?
I am not leaving OSi but I was recently laid off from SPI/Cy-Med. Glad to hear you are so happy with TT.
That is see her say she was leaving.
Okay so blast me for a typo. I care about my typos more than your calling me down for writing on here. LOL.
Why are they leaving?
I'm in the middle of testing right now, and I am wondering why so I know whether or not to continue? You can e-mail me if you don't want to say it on the board.
leaving OSi
I am in the process of leaving due to very low work volumes the last few months. I cannot believe they are hiring.
For those leaving TT.....
Did you call or email management to notify them you were leaving? Did you give a 2 week notice?
Leaving MDI
I know what you mean. I have spoken with and e-mailed to other MDI MTs and we all seem to be going through a grief reaction. I will find myself breaking into tears without warning. I thought maybe I was going nuts or something but several others have the same thing happening to them. I have to admit, that this tops anything I have ever experienced. For me, it is not what was done but how we were kept on hold for so long without work. When I asked, I was told that some accounts would be coming on in September and October and it would all be fine then. Yeah, right. Anyway, I wish you good luck in your search.
leaving MDI....
I have an interview at 1p. I will probably take the job, already know all the specs. I will probably stay at MDI, just cut down to part time and see how things go. Good luck to you!

leaving MDI
I agree with you completely. I feel a real sense of loss. I wish MDI and all concerned nothing but the best, but like you, I think I made the right decision to leave. I hope all who are looking can find the right jobs.
