Battering is a choice. (Domestic violence applies to many things)
Posted By: You sound like the poster-girl for domestic violen on 2009-06-04
In Reply to: Older and wiser than you by - SM
May I suggest counseling? I mean that in a kind way. BTW: If you don't understand let me explain: Battering is a choice is same as Sucking up is a choice. Wondering if you were married if you sucked up to him as well... and don't get me started on misquoting Scripture either. God never forces us to suck anything up. We are supposed to be like Him. He will, however, let us choose to suck it up or choose to be battered, and that is where we end up in Hades.
So, by your philosophy, suck it up, accept the battering and you will always have a job. Okay, so you will always be under domestic violence. Your choice. Not mine. Wish you all the luck in the world with your sucking it up choose the battering. Maybe someday as I said a counseling session might help. Or not. Your choice.

How did domestic violence and religion get into this?
You suggest counseling? My sympathy goes out to you.I have done psychiatric reports in the past and from what I am reading here, sounds familiar. You have gone off in left field. The statements you have made above were never in this mix. This sounds so familiar from years past.
That poster thinks this has nothing to do with spirituality or domestic violence.
See below. She says we are in left field suggesting that. So, the words suck it up has nothing to do with how we treat other people or how we choose to be treated, that is just take the beating? Okay, well if I am in left field, and she has typed me in a psych note, I suppose I should suck that up too. Answering here because I wanted her to read above once again so that this poster can put 2 and 2 together, instead of calling me a nut. Thanks for listening.
Yes, that applies to me too, but things are more complex than

ALL DOMESTIC
I work as an MT for Webmedx and know that the company is all domestic, so you may want to check them out if you are looking to make a move to another company. They are great to work for!!
Exactly the same as what happens with domestic abuse -

Heartland - Domestic Team No More?
Heartland's only recruiter announced last week that she would be leaving. I wonder if she knows what the outcome of Heartland being sold is? No domestic team?
I know I will miss her greatly!
3rd largest DOMESTIC employer
Besides MedQ and Spheris, who else has 750 domestic MTs? And to answer your question before you ask; yes, CyMed really does have that many. I work in the corporate office and they've been stuffing envelopes for employee Christmas cards and gifts all week. (Finally getting them out the door on Monday.)
post specifically says Domestic MTs
nm
they have on their site Internationally and Domestic trained MT-s. Don't work for them! Outsour
.
Are you sure that applies to the sm
MT? Usually a position of supervision might have that clause because you'd be privy to confidential company and account information, but as far as the MT part goes I don't see how they can dictate who and how many companies you can work for.
And this applies not only
to the comments on this forum, but also to the advertising tactics of MT schools.
I agree with you, but I don't know that it applies to OP. (sm)
some people actually get back thousands when only paying in a few hundred and keep having kids. The more kids, the better the benefits. Must repeat, I don't think scenario applies to OP of this thread, tho.
This law only applies to mass
X
I think that sentence applies here -
you know, the one they use when they don't want to come right out and say you're terminal:
DON'T BUY ANY GREEN BANANAS!
Thank you! This applies to all companies
I am tired of seeing postings or ads that say IC but want you to work a certain shift.
As far as asking for extra coverage, just tell them you will do your best. No IC should have to adhere to a strict schedule or provide extra coverage on weekends or nights unless the said company would like to offer an incentive.
Some say this job is 24/7, and while I agree, that does not equate to abuse of an IC!!!! 
Depends on # of employees if it applies. Also
Statutory employee is not the same as an employee. Statutory is basically an IC... no overtime at all.
Yes, I was speechless when I saw that ad. If anyone applies to that job, they should have their head
examined. Companies like that are the reason we cant make a good living or even decent one at this point. That is a disgrace!!!
No way will recruiter know who applies and who posts.
s
I'm wondering why anyone applies there when it's well known Toth
.
Nope. Only applies to less than 50 if the number is 33% or more of
I had to study this law very extensively for certification.
Minimum wage only applies to employees.

Always cpl times total lines, unless a bonus applies
Once you are totally off training and being paid only by your line rate (cpl), your pay will be based on your two week, total lines typed (cpl x total lines typed). The only time lines per hour would affect you is if you qualify for a bonus. I do not know what MT Level you are (3 or 4), but I believe Level 4 bonus starts after 150 lines per hour. If you qualify, don't try to figure the bonus out. It will drive you crazy. Just be happy to see a bonus in your check! 
for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee: Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level? If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied. I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets. Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
First Choice does.
Get out while it is still your choice. It seems like
things have gotten worse since I left. Which is hard to believe!
Not all companies are like Heartland. Best of luck to you.
OSi is by far, your #1 choice.
I have been at OSi for 2 years now. Worked for Medquist for...um....let's see...about a month before I realized what I had gotten myself into. OSi isn't perfect, but they sure strive to be. Constant feedback, almost everyone has a positive attitude and loves their job. My Team Lead is pretty awesome. She makes my job so much easier. Let me know how I can help you make the right decision. I'd love to help you out in any way I can.
they said we would have a choice about
ASR beginning 10/01, told my boss I would not do ASR, guess what I am getting today................. ASR STAT reports!!!!!! Not a supervisor in the company working today that I can find
First Choice
Asked to test for this company. Is this a good company to work for, plenty of work, pay on time, etc.? Any info would be greatly appreciated! 
First Choice sm
I don' t work for First Choice, but I applied and passed the test. I was contacted by the recruiter to set up an interview. The very next day she told me all the accounts were caught up, and she couldn't hire me at this time. I thought that was a little odd.
Yes! First Choice, QT, and I believe JLG, also. nm

First Choice
Thanks so much!
First Choice
Any info on First Health. I am training tomorrow, wondering about the program they use and their accounts? Also the staff.
First Choice
Could you please tell me more about First Choice? I have not heard of this company until now. TIA
First Choice
This is by far the best company to work for. Great platform, great pay, great owner and staff. I wouldn't work for any other company!!!
would be your choice obviously
personally, I don't rely too much on what these boards say, everybody has their own opinion - - I don't believe they have a high turnover, the MT list seems to be growing it you ask me, I still see the same names I always saw and communicate regularly with the MTs, not sure whree this person is getting their info - - but ultimately it's your choice. I've been around to all the major MTSOs and for the past 3 years, Diskriter has done what none of the others could, supplied me with daily work during MY scheduled hours or paid me downtime
Your choice. sm
It depends on your situation. If you are single with no other bennies I would say DR. If your are single and in need of benefits, tell the recruiter you want to be on a smart-source account, wherein you are actually an employee of the hospital with DR as a liason. I made an OK living but have affordable health insurance, dental, vision, long-term disability, short-term disability and life insurance. What I like best is our T-leader does not tolerate cherry picking. If you are married, I say be an IC, if not you are better off on a DR SMART-SOURCE account.
TRS is a bad choice
I worked at that place for several years, they go through more changes than anywhere I ever worked. You rarely get to stay on one account and they do not give you anything except for do more, do more. The only way to get anywhere with that company is to kiss butt and give until it hurts.
I have to say, if you go to TRS you will be feeling like you are in haties before long. Consider yourself warned they are NOT the employer of the year like their president and vice president would like to believe they are, they will cheat you out of your life if you let them.
Working at McDonald's selling hamburbers is a fantastic step up from TRS.
It's your choice -- use your own PC or theirs. nm
I believe it's your choice ... (sm)
I have always just preferred using the Word auto-correct as my expander, so that's what I use. There's not one built into the platform, and I think you can just use whatever Expander you want. Seems like I remember talk of some of the MTs building some stuff up in ShortCut, so I know that one is compatible.
I don't have a choice...sm
My husband is active duty Air Force, and they are making him change careers. We have a three-year-old daughter, so we have to work separate shifts. When he goes off to school for the new job, I will not have anybody to watch our daughter.
Trust me, I am terified of coming back home to work. I have a job that is a set paycheck, and I have been having problems with my wrists lately. I worry about not being able to make enough money.
First Choice
I was wondering the same thing because that was really fast. I sent resume but heard nothing.
At least TT gives you a choice to do
With Extext (regular MT) you can look up old reports on the patients which a lot of software does not give you that capability. That saves a lot of time.
If I had a choice right now, no I would not...sm
You have to understand, I only have 2 years exp. The most I can expect to get is 8 cpl, which I do get, but it is only maybe one day a week. I went from working everyday or almost everyday at 8cpl to one day at 8cpl. I am broke. I lost my account. I need money. Secondly I know nothing about neonatal dictation, have never done it. I would need some training in that area. I can't expect them to pay me top dollar for no exp in the specialty. If I had been doing neonatal a while, then no I would not accept 7cpl. Not saying I have the job cause I don't, but I wouldn't apply if I had exp in neonatal care for that amount of money. They aren't requiring neonatal exp so I applied. They are getting what they pay for. An MT unexperienced in that area. If they want to train for cheaper pay so be it. That will be one more area I know in MT. I'll do it, but if someone offered me a position in something I am experienced in then no I probably wouldn't. If they want exp MTs in neonatal care then they aren't gonna get them for 7cpl. Again, they are getting what they pay for.
Exactly! Everything is about choice...
I knew when I chose to become an MT that there was a large possibility that I would be working weekends. I chose to become an MT. And, yes, my child comes first as well, but that doesn't have anything to do with working weekends. And for your information, my holy day is Friday, so it makes no difference to me whether I work on Sunday; and worshiping God is something we should do every single day of the week, not just 1 day on the weekend.
That is entirely your choice...
But please be prepared for nothing but VR, a massive pay cut because you're doing VR and not straight transcription, a rigid schedule, AND the fact that by working for Transcend you are, in your own small but significant way, contributing to the selling out of the American MT.
Please, think again.
Then if you can sleep at night knowing all of the above, more power to you.
