I meant to say playing euchre "in between calls." nm

Assure who?
"In the know" does not know how to spell let alone know anything about the lies Jennifer told week after week.
How can they assure you it's not being done when..
they posted a letter on the website to the employees admitting to it because it was requested by a client vs losing the account totally?? I know I am not the first one that has brought this up...inflammatory comments or not they put the info out there in black and white and tons of people saw it.
No I can assure you s/m
The gourd is not the same as scribbles. I am a patient, respectful and hopefully sometimes helpful individual. One thing I am not is rude and hateful. I expect I know where scribbles comes from and she definitely doesn't support me in anything. LOL
I work for this company, I can assure you..
they don't pay 8 cpl. This position in particular is an hourly position. If I could live closer I would apply, but I can't, this is in Maryland, I live in PA.
As far as you never leaving a blank, wow, I have never met an MT that never left a blank.
Also, I could not find in the job description that they paid 8 cpl. Where did you even get that? I can also assure you I make much more than 8 cpl as an MT for them.
This company is by far the BEST I have ever worked for. I am so happy there!!! I would never, ever go back to an MTSO for 8 cpl.
I urge anyone who would be interested to check out that job, I can promise you that you will make a great salary, great benefits and work with a great group of transcriptionists.
I can assure you, you didn't fail
a QA audit based solely on spelling out numbers.
I can assure you that I am not a DR recruiter. People are happy there.
Ever consider that maybe what works for one person may not work for another, or are you that egocentric?
playing* oops

Thanks for playing our game!
And all you get is this lousy :) icon
hee hee
Then instead of playing their game, just come out

If you think LT is playing slots, you don't know her at all. sm
Now go crawl back in your hole. Obviously you have nothing better to do than spout lies. At least we all get a laugh.
If you like playing telephone tag after all that, I didn't. nm

Not playing devil's advocate but something
...is that companies don't have nearly as much latitude to make exceptions to their policies as we might like to think.
This is due to the litigious environment that employment law has become over the last few decades. If you deviate from your formal policies or procedures, you will discover that you can be sued by other employees (or even former employees) for whom you did not make the same exception.
So, corporate counsel routinely advise their clients: Set a policy and then stick with it 100% because you're opening Pandora's box if you don't.
Sad, but very true.
John Brown is just playing with you.
He said, NOT OFFERING A JOB.
I have worked at MQ before and I would say that HIS has them beat when it comes to playing dirty!!

Oh, I am playing with the "big boys" and have been doing this for 25 years darling!
You do not know it all, though may think so! I was just trying to let you know, some hospitals will honor your invoicing methods and pay you on time. Now, that may depend on whether your invoice goes through the purchasing department as a vendor or through the department in which you contract.
Not to mention managers playing on the darn thing

Transcend is playing games, giving gift cards
and doing contests (poetry) and others. There is a contest for a big screen TV.
Transcend cares about its employees
I tried it, but it kept dropping my calls. nm

Ah, so you are the reason I got so many calls
about my schedule and getting stats assigned to me allll day long!! LOL! You know who I am, basically in the same boat, and that I applaud them for the same understanding you described 
phone calls
Is anybody transcribing for Steve who had the 15,000+ 3-5 minute phone calls between docs and patients, I believe? Just wondering if your making good money or not? Thx
phone calls
Oh my God I am and no I'm not making good money. I wish I had never started this job!!!How many did you get? I got 500 and I have a full-time job?
well, what do you want...phone calls?
They have to get you when they need you somehow.
conference calls
I hate them, hate them, hate them.
I have worked a few places where conference calls were utilized and INVARIABLY they covered things that could easily have been covered in a memo, in a couple of paragraphs even, only the call would last half an hour to an hour. They were always a COMPLETE waste of time. Paid or not, they were just unbearable.
Conference calls
This just goes to show that not all things suit all people. As for me just give me the work and LEAVE ME ALONE! If there is something I'm doing wrong by all means tell me. One of my new accounts I WAS doing something wrong because I didn't understand how to attach a deficiency. I received a very nice e-mail telling me how it was done and I sent back one saying to let me know if I was still doing it wrong. Got back a very nice e-mail (from Q.A.) telling me to do #1, #2, #3. I got it. Nothing more needed. As for conference calls, I MIGHT tolerate one once a year, IMHO a total waste of my valuable time. I'm happy for you that you went back to your former employer, by all means BE HAPPY, whatever it takes.
No more calls, please. We have a winner.

I thought in one of the calls they
said we would be staying on the accounts we are on with the same platform!? I must have totally misunderstood that... Did anyone else think that, too, or was it just me??
how do you get calls from "all over the country" sm
if you don't advertise or anything? Wow, you must be out of this world!
Has anyone that has posted your resume on here ever gotten any calls out of it or what should I
expect.
Poopy.. why don't you just tell the person that calls
that you already worked 40 hours for the week? Is that so hard?
LATE NIGHT CALLS
Call blocking instructions are in your phone book. These vary from company to company. Check you phone bill and see what numbers they are using (probably more than one line there). If this fails and they keep calling (imagine how many lines they actually have) then send them a formal letter stating your problem with their phone harrassment and the exact days and hours of their callsand cc it to all their clients. Maybe they are hurting for transcriptionists and hope you have changed your mind by now or that, gee, now that you're awake you might as well type? If anything, this should cure you of them forever and everyone who read your post will remember! I once had a friend (actually a really nice lady) who had a similar problem (although ot with SPi) that went on for a year. They woke up her kids and husband, her dog, her cat and she looked so bad from lack of uninterrupted sleep. That was in the olden days before caller ID and call blocking. She finally had another friend convince her to hand out THEIR numbers to car salesmen and insurance salesmen, etc. That was really harsh, but the calls she got soon stopped and it was apparent that because they stopped that all along they were consciously and deliberately calling her. Another tactic might be to change your phone number. Good luck.
Yes we got paid for conference calls
.
I always get paid for conference calls.

Well, we seem to get nothing but pladitudes on the conference calls, sm
so honestly, I was hoping to get some sort of info on here. There are a lot of DSGers who are upset and frustrated and could very well jump ship. Then they will have no one but newbies and what will that do to the TATs. I seems to me that a little honesty about what is going on and what is being done about it would go a long ways towards fostering loyalty. Of course, that is just my opinion.
Yeah, the recruiter calls me up,
calls me by my first name and starts chatting. (I wonder who on earth she is?) When I finally establish that she is an SGS recruiter and start asking serious questions she becomes rude and I tell her thank you but I really am not interested. Guess she forgot to go to charm school.
When I worked with her, she made calls
to people when there were backlogs to get more help. She used to ask me what she could do/offer me to get me to come onboard full-time, so I always figured she was in upper management in order to be able to offer that.
We find out how much of a pay cut on the calls tomorrow.
It'll go the way of the others, no more than 50%.
That explains my unanswered phone calls. nm

Not always an option; my supes don't want calls at either of my MTSOs. nm

Sounds a lot like the Webmedx conference calls.

The short answer is because we get the backlash from these. We get calls from MT's who sm
have had a bad experience somewhere and act like we owe them the world, even though we have never even talked them before. I don't lurk on this board. I come here for information and make posts and help on the word boards. I come to find out about changes such as new equipment and software and opinions on different software.
Perhaps we are all generalizing too much. My request would be for MT's to realize that all companies are not bad and while you may have a bad experience somewhere, it does not mean that you will have the same experience at my company.
Generalizing all Mom-and-Pops together is also not fair. Everyone has to start small and some of us plan on growing. Right now, I have 20 MT's but I want to double that or even triple that and I come here to find out the best ways to get and keep employees. It would be nice to ahve someone come to me and say that they are looking for a change without assuming we are going to be as bad as the company they just left.
Were their new venture capitalists, er, partners, on the calls?
Should be very interesting.
Make the right phone calls and report her

It took me 9 weeks and 2 phone calls to get my check.
I had to leave voice mails and no calls ever returned, but I finally got my check. I knew someone who was still waiting after 12 weeks.
Five resumes. Five transcription tests. No calls.
I'm trying so desperately to leave the Q. I know my job will be done soon there, I can feel it. I'm hurting financially from all the changes, the ASR, the cut in rates, etc., so I'm so ready for a change! I did the research, read up on this board and many others, and applied for FIVE DIFFERENT COMPANIES. Two are IC, the other three are employees. I will work p/t or f/t, I don't even care, I just need work. I started part-time with a new company before the holidays only to discover they've over-hired and there isn't any work! I'm still technically working for them even though I haven't worked in two weeks.
I have years of experience in all kinds of different reports. I'm a good person with decent skills. Why can't I get a job? I'm starting to think it's the whole MQ thing, that there are so many of us out there, we've flooded the MT market.
I work for MQ, and even they don't mute the conference calls.
If you aren't going to allow anyone to talk anyway, why not just send out an email....
MQ and mute-control on conference calls
MQ allows peons to talk on conference calls, but there is also a setting that you (the peon) can use to mute your phone purposefully when the dog barks, the dishwasher whines, the doorbell rings, the kids scream, and the husband starts moaning loudly. That setting is *2. We were reminded of it at the beginning of every conference call, and if the CCM or conference call leader should have happened to forget, invariably somebody would ask within 5 minutes of the beginning of the call. That puts the obligation on the peon to mute themself when they are wandering around their property listening to cows moo and husbands moan, and then to UN-mute themself when they want to ask if they really heard that right??? LOL!
Seriously speaking, it seems crazy to hold a conference call and then not allow the peons to talk. They may as well send out a mass email!
There were 3 conference calls, with each asking various questions (see message)
Perhaps you were not on the same conference call as some of us.
"Hiring Manager", and who calls them that, who exactly do you recruit for that you make 42 K s
recruiting? You have been asked, but still do not answer. Fraud? I think so. Most recruiters are frauds. If you do indeed make that much, then from whom? And what do the MTs make?
company does not answer e-mails or phone calls
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any of you have experienced this. I use to work for this company full-time. I went to part-time because we were running out of work and I decided to go back to school (because I am tired of this game with having work and then running out).............
Anyway when I dropped to part-time, my insurance was cancelled (which I know happens) but the premiums are still being taken out of my check. I have 2 checks now with those premiunms being taken out.............I have called payroll and left e-mails (this lady never responds)............now I am thinking this illegal...........
Feedback please. I would like to stay on with this company part-time but...........
Email said conference calls would happen in August. nm
