Have you signed a contract with them yet? sm
I haven't even set up a time to train yet but I just faxed my contract in this morning and I am supposed to get my lanier sometime next week. I guess I probably pestered her; I would rather say I was persistent : ). I had another company with an offer standing and I didn't have time to wait around and let the other one slip by in case things didn't work out. Luckily, they did and I am very happy with my choice.
"not their problem" -- you signed the contract ....
seriously, they know that a significant number of new hires (particularly when the experience required is low) are not going to work out ... they need a constant supply of warm bodies to ensure the work get done ... Welcome to labor relations USA-style. There is no good-faith social contract. More and more companies see their primary purpose in existence as maximizing profits. Keeping their clients, if not happy, mollified, so they don't leave is job #2. We may not even be in the top #5 concerns
Some companies don't give that first check until 4 or 6 weeks have passed. Ck your contract. nm

What is the latest on OSi?
What's the latest at SS?
Anyone hear or know what's going on at SoftScript? I've been hearing a lot of rumors (or facts, perhaps!). Fill us in....
u mean the latest downfall in mgt or
do tell
OMG just saw the latest newsletter - LOL!
LOL LOL
Latest on Amphion?
Hi. I'm thinking of applying there. What is the latest on this company? Do they have a high turnover rate or do they seem to keep employees? Are you switched around on accounts much? Do they make you pay for your computer? How picky are they about keeping schedules? What is their platform like? Any info would be appreciated -- don't want to waste my time if they are a bad company.
latest news
You're right. DSG made me absolutely miserable. I finally quit. The lack of organization, the constant changing of the specs for each account, the constant shuffling of which accounts you worked on, now keep a log of all cc's sent per report and send it to operations each day, plus the fluctuations of work available just got to be crazy.
I think this had been a very good company and it's sad that something has gone terribly wrong. They need to step back and look at their management style and their growth, and reassess what's going on. They can't keep experienced MTs or QA people, they are now loaded with very inexperienced MTs. They are in deep waters and need to take notice.
What is the latest with Spheris?
Anybody happy, not happy? Do they offer statutory?
According to their latest post (elsewhere) she is
She recruits. It's not her fault they cannot keep people. Their platform stinks and alot of look-ups are required. She's got a great job. Half the time she's never in the office! lol
Transolutions latest?
Are there happy campers at Transolutions?
I also tried it. Even bought the latest..sm
version they claimed to be so much better etc. I tried it and it was a complete waste of time and money. It does not work like they say and I spent a considerable amount of time with it. IT is the way to go. Much more worth it and so much easier.
latest TSI info is just another lie
I'm posting on this board and will also post on the main board. But those of you who have been ripped off by Jayne Mattingly from TSI (Illinois) may have received an email stating she would send us the contact info of her 'partner' who 'seized' the acct. Well, don't bother calling the phone number of the 'partner' as it has been disconnected. Weird huh. Also, it's not a partner..its her attorney who is just going to fool around some more and never pay us. You could email her and ask for the correct one, but good luck with that. I saw a post about contacting the attorney general (yeah, apparently other people dont get paid) and I plan on looking into that more and will let you know what i find out. Also, if you are interested the local newspaper is Herald and Review. Might be an interesting story for them....would love to read the story Local Businesswoman Pockets $1,000s from a Government Contract and Never Paid the People Doing the Work I sent a quick note...would probably help if others did.
sorry, but what I see is *latest messages* ,,,sm
not *related messages*, unless yours is showing something different than mine.
Latest on Cardioscribes
I didn't see anything particularly recent in the archives on Cardioscribes and wondered if any current or recent employees would care to share any info about how things are there. Are most accounts straight typing or VR? On the overall, how are the dictators and the audio quality? Is the pay decent and on time?
Any info anyone would care to share would be greatly appreciated. Email privately if you prefer.
TIA!!!
MDI's latest propaganda
Did anyone else see the latest missive from Dorothy? It is kind of a rah-rah piece where she is going to have another conference call next week where we can hear the confidence in her voice (yeah, I would be confident, too, if I had just sold my company for 16 mil) and how we are all committed to excellence in our DNA! Wow. Perhaps if MDI folds, their officers can all get jobs writing advertising slogans on Madison Avenue. Meanwhile, no answers to our practical questions.......
Oh, no. Think I may have just signed on
Can you give a general idea of the misrepresented positions? Frankly, I'm going into the thing expecting the worst.
I signed on for that
and I've yet to see any work. I check daily. They don't care either if you don't have any work.
Well when I first signed on
they had work comming out of their ears, when I left there was hardly anything. I have heard they picked up again. I had 2 different supes. One on the training team, one on my team after traninng. They were both great.
They have 2 platforms, ex-text and Merit. I worked on Merit (sp). It had some good features and then some features EX text had that I wished it had. It ran great on my 6 yo cheapo computer I got from Wal-Mart.
The hospital that I am working at say they are going to ASR. They have not said, but I bet that means we will be getting a pay cut. They have already quit paying us for headers, footers. I don't know but if things get too bad I will probably look back into Medware FT if that tells you anything. HTH. 
Tell them you signed up as an IC and will
work when you are able and/or want to. As an IC, let them know that they cannot hold you to specific hours as was agreed upon when you started with them.
Co-Signed!!!
I've even worked with *seasoned/experienced* MTs who refuse to change one single word of what a physician dictates, even when it is BLATANTLY an error and the correct word is obvious (calm down, I'm not talking medical lingo here, I'm talking basic English words). I've also worked with MTs who, if the dictator says *Discharge diagnoses, Same,* types precisely THAT, *Same*, rather than copying and pasting the admission diagnoses, even though she knows this is what she is supposed to do. *That's not what he/she said, he/she said 'SAME'.* I've seen those same careless your/you're, they're/their errors more times than I care to count as well.
I understand the faster we go, the more money we make but at the end of the day, I'm willing to make a little less in exchange for turning out an accurate, quality report.
Those are my initials at the bottom of that patient record. I couldn't sleep at night or look myself in the mirror if I knew I was shipping through a lesser quality report just to make a few more cents.
And if it was your mother/father/sister/brother/child lying in that hospital bed or terminally ill attending a clinic, would you want an MT rushing through their report at breakneck speed, accuracy thrown to the wayside?
Errors like this don't make the work of US MTs any better than that of the Indian MTs, I'm sad to say.
Yep she is the one who signed up
Ummm - we care about our interests too. That's why we DIDN'T sign up. Sorry you were fooled. Did you already run out of work or something? The ads say they have tons of work? 
Oh, Gawd, if you could only see the latest newsletter
OSI has been the subject of so much discussion, it just does not get any better. LOL LOL
It is actually a joy to work at OSi because it is so ridiculous that there is never a dull moment. I can't believe that she would have the nerve to post another stupid travelog.
$12.50/hr. is their latest fabulous pay scheme.
Whats the latest on this company?
I had heard at one time they were a great company to work for, are they still maintaining that status?
Webmedx-Latest info?
Any recent info on how they are to work for now? Looking for steady workflow (understand seasonal slumps), is the insurance good/affordable, and what kind of time off do you get? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
Latest excuse about OSI offshoring
Offshore labor is used only for accounts that have insisted that we provide an offshore solution to their transcription needs.
No sane MT would ever believe that a hospital has insisted on offshore MTs. They may have asked for lower rates and in order to land the account OSi itself insisted on using offshore labor.
I have known people who worked for the facilities where work is offshored and THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT IS OFFSHORED.
Oops, meant latest nm
Need latest info on SoftScript.
Need info on working conditions, platform, pay, benes, etc. TIA
Download the latest version of
Adobe Reader 9.1, it's free.
If the questionnaire you have to fill out, is given by the company, ask them what's wrong.
So, what is the latest news on the lawsuit?
TT versus MT? Inquiring minds want to know!
Not much, but I'm all signed up to start there!
I think it's going to be great. :o>
Many have signed noncompete re:
You cant just make contact with a client of a company - if you have signed a noncompete / no contact - if they are money hungry / desperate they will sue for any contact with a client - however, if they go out of business - no competition there.
Even if you did not sign, I am sure they would find a way to tie up your life and be an annoyance.
When I signed on a year ago
I got an hourly rate for 3 weeks. The pay depends on your cpl offered x125 (lph) x 8.
I just signed on with Transcend
a week ago and am getting their stats now although I have not officially started working. The workload does look low. I had also tested with another company one day last week called Precyse. I received an e-mail today saying that I passed their test and will be contacting me so I will see what they have to offer. I thought I was in luck because this local hospital ran an ad in our local newspaper saying they want a Medical Records Clerk, FT with excellent benefits. That is all the ad read. I went and applied this morning. Fully steady pay with benefits sounds so good. The hospital is a block away and I can leave my work there and not have it staring me in the face 24/7. I am just afraid that the word clerk in the ad means minimum wage.
You signed on with the company sm
based on what you saw on the board? Didn't you ask all of this during your interview? Just curious.
already signed up. its about time nm
nm
What's the latest on Axolotl? Any info appreciated!
nm
Focus Infomatics - Latest word on them?
Is there plenty of work? Is it more VR with MT typing the whole report and getting paid at that rate?
Any latest news on Davis Transcription?
They tried to rehire me back last month and I have not heard a word from them. Heard they got bought out by another company which does not surprise me at all. Any latest news on this crazy company?
Any latest info on Davis Transcription?
All I know is that they lost one of their big accounts. That place is so screwed up!!!
Latest info on Terra Nova? TIA...nm

Didn't you just LOVE the latest TT email?
Congratulating us for getting all the work caught up last night and pointing out we weren't EVEN OFFERED A BONUS. Nice. Yes, those of us at TT are so desparate for work that when it finally shows up, we don't need a bonus to work our fingers to the bone and those in Management crow about it.
Made me throw up a bit in my mouth.
just signed on with weekly company
I just signed on with a company that pays weekly. Great people!! Very friendly. Paychecks mailed every Monday. No platform as of yet so a little slow in building up line count. But I'll stick around until they obtain a platform.
I signed the Acusis papers
I don't know what I'm legally allowed to say anymore. Is it a company secret to say I'm suddenly out of work or doing scraps by mid-morning or noon? (Treading carefully, since this is not clear.) It is a new time to be out of work, in June. What's an overly motivated MT? They push and push for you to produce more and when you do they slow you down?
I was told a completely different reason why we were out of work.
There goes pay and PTO (again).
You signed nothing? Not even a HIPAA agreement? I would think she sm
would be in hot water over that. Generally, you sign the HIPAA agreement and the contract at the same time. DId you talk about pay at all and make a verbal contract?
I agree with everyone else. Until some sort of pay is establishied, I wouldn't work anymore, PLUS, not sure I would want to work there anyway with all of the phone calls and drama that you described. It sounds like you would be signing up for a duty in Hell.
I'm sorry you have gone through all of this. Good luck to you.
Signed mine in January
so, how convenient is that?
Thanks for the info - I signed the petition sm.
and I was the 54th person from Florida - kind of sad that there have only been 54 people in my whole state to have signed this - sigh, but thanks for the info - will pass along to everyone I know!
Didn't you hear the latest? They are wanting everyone to submit a name ...sm
change through the local chapters to be able to include everyone.
Who invited the Indians anyway???
The latest large incentive they're talking about is...sm
for the BeyondTXT editing program and details were given to everyone working on that platform. Other incentives are for various accounts at various times and details are provided by the ROM for those accounts as those incentives are put into place. The holiday incentive is for everyone, MDI as well as Transcend employees. This is for 3 cpl for all lines transcribed on the 6 national holidays as long as you meet the criteria outlined in the policy. If you do not have a copy of this and would like to receive it, e-mail me and I'll be happy to send it to you.
