Bottom Line -- Mgmt always says that

cherry-picking is not allowed and will be dealt with; however, it very rarely is. If management is not going to take care of it, nothing you can do. Just type and go on. This way, you will get up to speed on these dictators and it will not matter in the long run.

IMO, the bottom line
after seeing all the negative posts must be Amphion (for no weekends unless you want them) and MDI-MD (for good Bayshore software). Would most people agree?
Bottom line...
Amphion employs the best of the best...if you can't cut it, they cut you loose...simple.
bottom line
Take the 8.5 job.
You get healthcare.
You get 50% of your soc. sec. paid.
Bottom line: You have to look out for yourself,

Bottom line....
When Americans leave this country, or when work is sent outside of this country, they/it should accept the fact that things may not go they way they hoped. Another example is Lisa Ling's sister. American officials do not have the right to go into another country and try to make them change their laws just because the victim or person on the bad end of the stick is an American.
The Thai ppl are handling Carradine's case just as they would for their own people. Just because their country does not conduct CSI-type investigations does not mean that American officials can just barge into their country and make them do this or that.
These MTSOs who are rapidly sending work to other countries will soon find out that this is not the thing to do. It's just a matter of time before a major breach or misuse of information occurs.
You need to look out for your bottom line (sm)
While the people at MDI are great, that is not going to pay your bills. They created the situation you are in and you should not have to HAVE 2 jobs. I say keep the second job, you just never know WHEN the low work will happen again, and it will.
Bottom line...
If an MT cannot keep up with the demands of the job while maintaining high-quality standards, then they need to find a different profession. If a person feels that at 7 or 8 cpl they will not be able to correct and proofread their reports, then they either need to find a job that pays enough to do that or they need to find a different profession. Is it acceptable for a physcian to slack when it comes to quality because he isn't being paid enough? Is it okay for him/her to begin surgery and leave it half done because he thinks he will not make enough money off of this patient? You see, this is ALL about the patient. It is not about US. We are here to service the patient and create an easy-to-read, accurate document of their encounter. I know for myself, the day I cannot create a high-quality, accurate report is the same day I leave this profession.
Bottom Line at Amphion
I have been reading all of the comments about Amphion and having worked there and done well and also knowing people who haven't done well I think the bottom line is that if you have 10-key skills (if you have to ask what that is you don't have them) you will do well. Slow people and those who don't have 10-key skills will not do well at Amphion. If you are fast and productive you can make a lot of money at Amphion. It is not for everybody and certainly not for slowpokes. Can we just see everybody's side to this drawn out saga and give it a rest now? Thank you.
Don't believe it if they say it. If it means the bottom line,
I think you need to suck it up and learn to do ESLs or you'll be left behind.
Bottom line on anything business is $. They can

well...your bottom line is lower
than I would accept. I currently make 10 cpl and will not go lower than 9.5 for transcription and will not go lower than 5.5 for edit.
Now, someone making 7 cpl currently will say....yeah, I will work for 8 cpl, that is a raise for me.
Also, there are some out there making 3 cpl for edit, if they were offered 4 or 5, they would take it.
How can we set a standard like this?
MQ - their bottom line pay 2 cpl offshore or pay us NOTHING for ASR -nm
The bottom line is money...
3 cpl for VR...more money in their pockets. On the contrary to some of the replys to my first message...VR does save a ton of money for these hospitals, but these MTSO's know that the MTs can do more lines per hour with VR and hence, lower the pay to 3...so disgusting.
Of course the bottom line is that with the new platform anyone anywhere can get into all accounts in
all offices so it really doesnt matter where you are. I think MQ is probably just going to dump everyone into accounts that are behind and totally eliminate overtime or any kind of bonuses, etc. That is already in place in the NE so just a matter of time.
Bottom line, if you are happy with paycheck, you are okay. If not,

For Natls, $ is bottom line, which is why offshore as

Bottom line---Check with your supervisor.
If the CP does not state to insert apostrophes and you are to follow BOS2, then QA is wrong. The only way to clear this up is to ask someone who has the authority to make that decision.
Becuase it is a business with $$ as bottom line.

If you're referring to the 20K-line post, I am NOT mgmt...sm
I make this type of line count because I'm willing to work on different accounts and work extra when the need arises. I LIKE paying my bills, so I am flexible - and that, in this day and age, is on of the real keys. Nothing is as it used to be when work was consistent and pay was better, but I need to pay the bills. I have a great communication with my supervisor, and that is another key. If you don't talk to somebody about your problems or lack of work of whatever, it cannot be fixed. I don't care if I have to learn every acct the company has - I'm going to do that, because it will ensure that I can maintain a good line count at the end of the payroll period, thereby affording me a better check.
The basic fact is that working for a company is no different than any other aspect of your life. If it's not working for you, then you MUST make a change. Complaining about something will not change it - and ultimately you will spend your life feeling miserable - and trying to make other people feel miserable, too. I choose the opposite.
I've been at a multitude of other nationals and, for me and for now, this IS the company that I'm happy with and with whom I intend to stay.
You can go ahead and flame away - 'cause while you're sitting here typing nasty responses, accusing me of being mgmt, or making negative responses about Transcend, I'm working away. Now if that sounds "condescending" to you, TOUGH!
I think what she is saying is that if mgmt were paid by the line, they would understand our position
When you depend on your paycheck to pay the bills and it varies from week to week, it can really cost you if there is no work or low work volumes.
Bottom line for me is the paycheck. Nice don't pay the bills.

and they dont care is offshored. Bottom line to them

the bottom line - Cherry-Pickers are scum,
should be fired, and should not even call themselves MTs. If you have a job, you type what is assigned to you. Don't like it?! Take up burger-flipping. Only incompetent MTs cherry-pick.
True. bottom line - our job is to produce accurate, legal - sm
medical documents in the ENGLISH language. No one is ever quite as proficient in a second language as they are their native one. We spend our whole lives continuing to learn the nuances of our own language. If my medical record affects my care, or a possible court case, and ESPECIALLY my ability to receive & retain health insurance, you better believe I want it typed by a person for whom English is their #1 language, and by someone who is paid enough to actually care about the quality of the job they are doing.
"chuckle" raise in 3 days, not to their bottom line advantage is it.
Hey gooble up this one if you like. Not me!!! I could understand if hourly, but we are not. WE are the one who lose already, learning there program, acct spec, formats, the various QA preferences, learn/get an ear for each dictator. We LOSE BIG TIME because it takes time for all that above stuff, we cannot just sit down and zoom off. Hey but grab IT see how the attitude is toward MT with 6 cents offer, it says something ya know.
Bottom line is administrators trying to save a buck. Many drs. don't want records going offshore.
:+
Bottom line: What does it pay per line?
.
LOL! No, I'm FAR from mgmt!
Nemesis would have been closer ;) Believe me, I have STUDIED this company and would be the first to zing them if I felt it was earned.
Former MQ Mgmt = HIS Mgmt
..
U'r KS mgmt - I do my job, so had better you
Only someone in mgmt at the co. would keep posting like this, and be so seriously upset. I can just see an MT defending someone they work for like this, LOL.
The IC co. I just left did the same thing. Always responding pretending to be an MT. LOL.
Like I SD - you better believe my pay better be in my acct on the day it is supposed to be there. Not 1-2 days late. You want me ON TIME on the job, you want me to be responsible, give you advance warning of days off, do a quality job, to work the hours I am scheduled. LOL - that goes 2 ways - you better do YOUR job and ON TIME.
Yes I am in Mgmt.
I see it as part of my job to check things and keep it fair.
A line is a line is a line. Doesn't matter if we are talking about radiology or acute care.
1600 is not a fair minimum requirement. Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.
Why don't you just go to the bottom
about Transcend, also many more if you search the archives. Nothing has changed since 4 days ago.
there is more down the bottom...sm
dated 10/8 starting with Lynn. Apparently SS is claiming they told this supposed Lynn person to post and see what other people say. Is that right? For all we know, Lynn is someone from SS. It's causing chaos.
U can try discussing it with mgmt but you will just
be discriminated against because u do not think what they do is the best thing since fried grits. If the program is so wonderful, why all the problems, the notes on the private board about major issues never resolved. Why does it break down every day? Why are line counts so hard to get? Say a word to mgmt about anything and u pay the price by getting nothing but garbage for dictators and garbage accounts.
They could save a lot of money by trashing this program and starting from scratch cuz MLS could actually produce some work on something decent.
They must be in co-hoots with OSI's mgmt
so lame
I'm not mgmt. I don't even work there, but was
My choice was between TT and another company. The other company went higher than 9 cpl, and I went with them.
Should be -- Don't KNOW if she means mgmt.

re: Word/mgmt
When I applied, Word 2000 and Excel 2000 was the minimum that you needed.. I did ask about the bounced checks, etc and was told that they do not currently have an issue but it was at one time.
Every reason to believe? Oh, boy. I think mgmt (sm)
has better things to do than sit around on these boards all day. Trust issues, huh?
Did you not think that QA and mgmt were in contact?
nm
My advice - look elsewhere. They (mgmt) is
extremely rude and feedback is insulting.
OMG! That explains it, then. MQ mgmt, and
ex-management are literally scum. After that enlightenment, I wouldn't say I was smart to send MDI-MD packing, but rather my MQ disgust radar was going off, and I didn't know why. Isn't that bizarre? That happened to me at another company a while back - one I was checking out before leaving MQ, and I accidentally recognized one of the names of management on a group email, and inquired. Sure enough, it was a company started by all ex-MQ mgmt. I tried to stay the course, but it was just the same old BS under a different company name. So sad, as I had heard great things about MDI-MD as well. Thus, my willingness to give them a shot. That's really a shame. Lots and lots of MQ MTs left MQ for them as well, and I know not many of us can handle any additional financial hits right now. So sad. People get the courage to leave one monster, and end up in the monster's spawn. Sorry if I offend anyone, but if you know MQ, you can relate.
Mgmt is US based but BAD!!!
Since the US management took over, there is no work and many Focus MTs have either quit - like myself - or have acquired 2nd employers so they make money. No work, bad management, accounts leaving, payroll always coming up short now, no decent QA, management that won't answer your IMs and if you call team leader you are called stupid, a liar, a worthless retard and basically they hate you and will fire you. I would personally avoid the company. It was better and more honest and work flow was great when the Indians managed Focus!
That seems all you have done . . . TransTech mgmt ????
So silly . . . .
sure sounds like T mgmt, but thats okay.

If you go to the bottom of any page
there will be page # at the bottom. If on page 1 click on page 2 to see the newest of the posts that have scrolled off. You can then do a Ctl F to do a search. I don't know how sensitive the search is, by I've seen it Cymed and CyMed.
Usually they had a sticker on the bottom to tell
you what model # they are. The majority of the foot pedals are Infinity brand and made in various offshore countries.
If you know what platform they work on you can advertise that, and also the # of pins, or if USB, serial port or game port.
At the bottom of the post, it should say
reply by e-mail Click on that and type a couple of words and send it and it will get to me. :)
Look towards the bottom of the page...
there a few comments. Also try a search using MDI-MD, might turn up more comments that way. I've been interested in them, too, but last time I applied, they were only hiring for C-phone account and needed unlimited long distance. I wonder if they will be going to internet only in the future, as I think they have some accounts that are internet. Anyone know?
It's all about the bottom dollar
Who's going to buy all those cheap products when the peons have no jobs and thus no money. I fear things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.
