Y'all talking about the Dixie Dingbat??
Hayell yeayah!
Hey, weren't y'all talking about forming a union? What happened to that notion? nm
.
Maybe we aren't talking
not sure what kind of rate could result in $4.25/1000 words...but I'm doing much better than that...so far.
We aren't talking about that
We aren't talking about being an IC and sticking to a schedule. We are talking about something else.
Aren't we talking oranges and apples right now? None of us know how many lines
we have been doing it all that long.
And people who are doing such as the person above at 2400 lines a day (?8 hours)...are those editing lines or are those transcribed lines?
Are those 2400 lines lines of of decent reports, or the reports that are going to be left after the easy ones are fed into voice recognition for editors?
This is not an easy conversation to have because there are too many variables.
I know exactly who the poster was talking about. If you aren't her, I wouldn't worry about it.
I worked with someone at a company that starts with an F who now works for TTS and oddly worked with that person both places (you know how small world the MT industry is). She is some kind of piece of mess and she drags misery with her everywhere --- that company, the TTS company and most definitely wherever she lands next. What you described is exactly what happened to that supervisor (who was just a team member at F company). Anyway -- it's obvious she thinks you are that person. If you aren't -- then why feed her fire?? If you are.... well then.....
Do you think all the headers and footers aren't getting counted? Lots of places aren't giving

No, it's y'all. It's YOU ALL contracted.
Good God, y'all!
We're all in the same boat and we all have our opinions. I'm much more wary about this than M.E.D., but M.E.D. has as much a right to express an opinion as anyone else. We don't know what's going to happen but cutting each other down or calling on censoring each other is bullcrap.
How come y'all can and I can't? I'm no slouch, either. Maybe in about 16
Please tell me the secret. I was a very high producer at ALL my previous jobs and now can't get diddly.
Guess they had to do something for y'all
congrats to the ones who stuck with them.
TransTech--thanks y'all
Hey, thank you--this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, all of you.
y'all are remarkable
First I'm guilty, then I'm defensive.
I'm neither.
I was supporting my TRUTH which is that CBAY employs US MTs. PERIOD.
I have no emotional incentive to add anything to the convos here other than simple truth.
Y'all rant and rave and stomp your feet and I have to wonder how many of you are truly, really GOOD MTs. I've done this job for 30+ years and have never lacked for work.
Y'all are pitiful..
Why are you MTs???? This is not what MT stands for. Sorry. This is exactly why speech has come to be..yep..it is. There are no more EXCELLENT or even good transcriptionists and so they had to find a program that would cut down in their QA time, etc., for semi-quality reports with a handful of quality and I mean QUALITY transcriptionists. They are to be had no more....say what you want, I don't care. The TV, web sites, etc. advertising you can make 40 grand a year, etc. The schools are packed, nobody coming out with any knowledge. Well, here we are. Blast me all you want. Won't bother me a bit unless you give me your years of experience...
Y'all want some cheese with that whine?

sorry, post should be under 'all MDI people and no...)

I wanted to share this with y'all
I had an appointment with my doctor this morning and he was ranting about the EMR they use in his group. He said that he didn't get home last night until 10:30 because he was catching up on the EMR computer thing. He says this is an ongoing problem and he felt worn out. If it makes anyone feel any better, he is one who said that he wished they would go back to the little hand held dictating equipment which took only a couple of minutes instead of having to read questions like does your knee hurt? and typing in yes. Do you have limited range of motion? and typing in yes.
I really wonder if when the dust all settles if physicians are going to stand for these EMRs that take up so much of their valuable (and expensive) time???
y'all need to state your worktype on some of these replies -
Hard, not hard, tested, not tested.....
Different work types, different tests, different outcomes.
more arrogance. geez. can't y'all leave somebody alone--sm
and sit on the pity pot for a while. you've been there too, so don't lie about it. Everybody has a right to their own feelings without having someone tell them to stop feeling what they are feeling. get off your high horses and leave people alone. bullies.
Agree. I have said this before --- y'all whine about no work but when there's a ton of work
do you? Just wondering. I find this perceived hostility completely out of character for TT.
Not talking about lines. Talking about what you actually
afsd
You aren't the only one, believe me. NM

Aren't they the ones who are
supposedly looking into buying Heartland?
aren't they all going to be
under regional supervisors within a year??? If you can get yourself under the northeast regional supervisor, do it. She's great.
Oh MY aren't you a gas
Why would you care. Bitter? I got a great job by not being hired by them with innumerable benefits and assigned to a nice a/c with great potential.
Don't get my way - do you mean expecting to be paid on time is being bitter and spoiled? What planet do you come from? LOL
And yes SD is said - it's not my fault they auto cap it - boy do you have issues!!!! sd is standard shorthand for said my friend. can't imagine even noticing something like that.
Uh, no. They aren't doing that
The letter I received a few months ago when I cancelled my membership said something quite different. It had nothing to do with keeping the jobs US based. It was all about quality healthcare documentation which is important; don't get me wrong there. However, there was NOTHING in there stating anything about keeping this work here at all. Instead it was all about the global marketplace and a cop-out.
I personally feel that the bulk of the healthcare industry knows cheaper doesn't necessarily mean better or even close to what is expected. I don't think all of the jobs are going to disappear.
I have written, called and probably annoyed my senator and any other government official in my state about outsourcing private healthcare information. India, for example, does not have stringent laws about private information like we do.
We do have a personal responsibility though. I have brought this up on other boards, but we need to ask our healthcare providers if their back office is handled here. If not, choose another provider if possible. Of course avoiding purchase of everything that comes from somewhere else is virtually impossible, but there are lots of other things. This may also sound mean, but if I get on the phone with customer service somewhere and realize the person I am speaking with is offshore, I have my call transferred. Nothing against the person, but I am not discussing my personal account information with someone who is not 100% required by law to protect that information. Period. If enough people take the intiative (not saying in this particular way), the gov't and other organizations won't have a choice but to listen.
Outsourcing globally is not the trend right now. I really think pulling together can stop it from becoming so.
Aren't they like about $40,000 ???
My car's OLD - only kind I can afford.
And just because you aren't a fan sm
doesn't mean it is a bad company for everyone.
Aren't we all?
nm
Now I know you aren't exp'd - there is SM
no earthy reason to BUY A PDR to look up drugs. Caught again.
They aren't even in the US - ya think?? *-D) nm

You REALLY ARE NEW aren't you?
Snort... How naive.
Look, the really sad thing is that work has really picked up at TT and if whomever the fool is that decided to file this lawsuit had just waited a bit, things on MT Stars would have died down. Have you seen any negative postings about TT recently? No, because there is WORK!!
If you let your anger rule your head, you will show yourself for the fool that you are.
Sad, truly sad....
Obviously, you aren't one of them...
If you had the slightest legal knowledge, you would know that any person can file a lawsuit against anyone -- the claims don't have to be true. Again, enjoy your Law 101 class.
If you aren't happy
why don't you leave? You seem to know so much, so you must work for OSi. You musn't be able to get another job elsewhere.
If you aren't using an expander just think how
many more lines you could produce with an Expander and then that would be like gettin a raise.
Why don't you just go back to MQ, they aren't that bad
I was full-time with them and quit for reasons not related to all the new changes, but after thinking it over, I decided to keep some part-time hours because I enjoy the work.

A little snippy aren't we?
nm
No they aren't. They are looking for editors
Is there a little emoticon for putting a finger down one's throat and retching?
I have worked for TRS and while they aren't the
worst company out there, I certainly would never recommend them. Any time people can't figure out how much their making, it isn't an ideal situation. The Trinidad issue and how it was handled is another strike against them.
They aren't outsourcing. nm

Wow, aren't we cynical!
I am working for TT because a couple of TT employees took the time to answer my questions about the company and it sounded like it might be the place for me. I am very glad they were so helpful, because now I work there and I'm very happy. I haven't found any drawbacks to working there. If the companies you have chosen to work for have not turned out well, I'm sorry, but don't assume they are all the same. It is absolutely not fair to try to run down a company's name when you admit you never worked there. I do work there, and the company hasn't asked me to advertise for them. I can't believe you would judge people who go out of their way to try to help other MTs find a good company.
You aren't getting paid? nm

You aren't missing much with sm
Transhealth. Chartmatrix stinks, doesn't integrate well with Word at all (cannot use autocorrect), crashes alot, and hard dictators. Their test dictators are actual doctors on their system. Management and office staff turn over quite frequently. Transolutions last I knew started out at 6 cents a line. You may want to go IC if you don't need the benefits.
Aren't you clever...
I didn't call *myself* 'garbage' - and you know it, but I guess going for the cheap shot is the best you can do?
Your experience may have been wonderful; mine was the worst. The person who originally asked about the company needs to hear both negative and positive feedback.
True, but most of them are, aren't they? They are for me.
nm
Apparently you aren't going to let this go!
Tricky: I asked a while back how far off the line counts are in your mind - 2% 1% 10%?
If its a small discrepancy you might consider dropping it, if its a lot you could find a different job if management can't explain it to your satisfaction.
That said, I'm totally in your corner if there is serious discrepancy here, but so far you have not elaborated how much you think the counts are off.
Aren't we all. Why do you think someone should just hand

My my aren't we judgemental

Well we aren't staying
a very large portion of the MQ staff is leaving, the majority of which as I can guestimate have been with MQ for many, many years, made them what they are. I myself have 12 years in with MQ and am done in 3 weeks. Don't get snotty with us...
Aren't they out of Texas
You aren't going w/ Amphion?
Or are you a different Rainbow
