I agree! I just can't imagine a company speaking such negativity! I just can't imagine that.
Surely this is not a manager or anyone big time important at SS. I just thought maybe it is a mad MT or something. I have never seen such postings from a manager. I was just curious. I think it is very unprofessional if this is management.
Can't imagine
why you would say that. It is my understanding the person you are defaming very seldom works directly with the MTs and when he does it is in a techncial role of helping them get set up and assisting with technical matters; that assistance has always been timely, helpful and professional, according to my personal experience.
You can't imagine....
Out of 40-50 resumes, I might find one qualified applicant. I recently hired one person who had been with a well-known national (the BIG one) for over 10 years, yet every word of her work had to be edited. The mistakes were so gross we had to let her go. There is one study at home school churning out graduates who are not qualified to do anything! I get constant requests for easy accounts. I've had people sign up for full time who only put out 80-100 lines per day and say they are getting used to the account. A big problem is even getting applicants who can follow the instructions in the ads. We are very specific about what to send and how, yet get emails saying I'm interested in the job, tell me about it. Out of 7 I have hired the past month, only two remain. It really makes one wonder about all the postings of people being treated bad or not being paid enough. I get constant resumes from nurses who decide they want to transcribe and who curse me within an inch of my life because I won't hire them with a score of 60 on the test. It makes me cringe to think of the reports getting through to the facilities and the patient behind the name who could be harmed due to the extremely poor work these people put out with their prior company.
I can't imagine how you can
say that QA is inconsistent. They have a style guide that makes inconsistency impossible. It's all in there. 
Yes, you can only imagine YOUR
point of view...
I think I made a valid point: Corrections made by QA in a team effort spirit - instead of playing GOTCHA (and don't question us or ask for clarification)are not objectionable to most MTs.
Just imagine...
ESLs dictating and Indian transcriptionists...can only imagine what the medical records will look line in a few years!
OMG! Can you imagine?!? (nm)
If they pay that for IC, imagine how low
x
Can't imagine working
anywhere else. Super people. Super tech support. Super platform. A lot of ESL, but some EFL (English First Language)docs can be worse than ESLs.
can you imagine good pay and
x
Can't imagine how they would be but it would be interesting to know!
I left in time....got all my money. Some were not as quick to figure it out.
I would imagine all the larger ones do, whether
ss
Yes, can you imagine messing up here?
The poster reminds me of myself 20 years ago - which just goes to say people do change :0
(now where did I put that prozac?)
Spheris does not. I would imagine, most don't.
nm
Yep, that was actually true. Can you imagine?
That plan got quashed somehow, and was the same time the MQ suits got caught calling us all typing monkeys... If we could do it, convicts could do it. After the typing monkey hoopla, Plan Convict MTs went out the window. 
hmmm just like they said would be done IMAGINE THAT !
Also, I bet your bank deposit is there tomorrow, AGAIN LIKE THEY SAID, AGAIN IMAGINE THAT. I only have one question for whoever you are that is too chicken to post your name, what is wrong with you? Have you ever worked anywhere else that you got paid in less than 7 days after close of pay period, then why did you leave. Most places I have ever worked, you would type 1st through the 15th and then get paid on the 1st of the next month for that work, so honey seven days is wonderful to me. Sure, I have had a few issues here, no place is perfect, but I can tell you when I let them know I was upset about whatever it was, never about not getting paid, they went out of way to make me happy and fix it, so again to you UNKNOWN MT, what is wrong with you. Please email me and see if I can help you. sheryl.cantrell@gmail.com I am just an MT for Cardioscribes but know how to talk to them and very happy.
Can you just imagine how much LESS they would pay if they had to pay overhead too? nm
nm
I would imagine it means ...
mind their own business ... just a guess 
Imagine how productive...
you would be if you weren't spending your time here reading posts from all of the complainers.
I second that! Imagine if she were peppy
what this poster could come up with!!
Most disgusting? I can't imagine anything worse!
You really need to get a life if that's the "most disgusting" thing in your reality. Or else your time spent on this planet has been incredibly blessed. You don't have anything more important to worry about? Unbelievable.
I imagine they'd offer an incentive if everyone sm
was working her schedule and working extra hard in the first place. With excessive absences, it seems that not everyone is pulling her share. An incentive would entice the ones out of the woodwork who have been taking time off and who would get extra money for work they should have kept up with in the first place. (Bad sentence, but I'm in a hurry to get back to work--no time to edit.) I can work a half-hour extra each day, no problem. 30 minutes of time is not asking too much. At least this confirms no outsourcing, eh? WE are getting the work.
Relax, roll up your sleeves, grab some chocolate, and be loyal to this good company.
I can't imagine a piece of work like you
your company is doomed. 
Can't even imagine this. I feel awful for you.
That is so wrong on many, many levels. What in the world are they thinking? I feel your pain and frustration and hope you find just the right account.
As that company uses their platform would imagine
they had just built a working relationship and so brought her/him on. SoftMed has undergone enormous changes since last fall - lots of layoffs - sorry you are having so many probs!
I can't imagine anyone paying for that, it's elective. sm
Insurance doesn't exist to cover huge expenses such as this. IVF is completely elective, completely unnecessary (in the sense of necessary to save life or limb or prolong life). Also the fact that it's a crapshoot makes it not a good bet for the company. Why would they pay out 10s of thousands of dollars when there's no guarantee it's going to work?
I don't do the California account but I can only imagine.................
Just imagine VR slaughtering ESLs and you have a recipe NOT to make money. You'd be spending all your time trying to put sentences together that make no sense. To each his own. I just wouldn't be doing that job.
Can you imagine the 100s of applicants
I could not even imagine working in HR for TT right now! I would not apply there now, it would be impossible to try to stand out among all the applicants. Its crazy!!!!!
Really? Imagine a critical situation where some of
Temp 98.7.Pulse 90.Blood pressure 120/80.Platelets 150,000, WBC 4.3, RBC 5.5.AST 20, ALT 22.Sodium 136, potassium 3.8, chloride 100, bicarb 25. Albumin 4.0, alk phos 89, BUN 18, calcium 9.2, CO2 25, creatinine 1.6, direct bili 0.1, gamma-GT 45, glucose 120, LDH 106, phosphorus 2.6, total bili 1, total protein 7.1, uric acid 7.6.Total cholesterol 180, HDL 56, LDL 95.
Transcription isn't all about passing an English test. A lot of rules which we follow are for ease of reading, again, in a critical situation.
And one of the major reasons for the push to convert to EMR/EHR is because of instant availability of a person's medical record in...you guessed it, a critical situation.
So it has become circular reasoning, i.e.
EMR/EHR can save a life because they're instantly available
EMR/EHR doesn't put spaces after periods
spaces after periods don't matter
a rushed and stress physician can't read the medical record because
EMR/EHR doesn't put spaces after periods
spaces after periods don't matter
patient dies.
Imagine a job with plenty of work
Still chasing that fantasy! You have your fantasy, I have mine!
I imagine they are totally overwhelmed with applications right now.
I would give them a little bit of time to get back with you. I just can't phanthom the amount of applications they've probably received from those wanting to maintain a SE status. That's where I'm headed & actually looking forward to it. I wish you the best & hope you hear from them !!
I imagine they're busy job hunting.
I received my phone call yesterday. I still think it stinks that they waited until 2 weeks before things ended to call and tell me they lost the account but they have no idea why they lost it - BS They know exactly what happened. Yes, a 2-week notice is better than nothing but they've known for a while now. I guess I just expected better from this company overall. They were really great to work for until greed took over and India stepped in. As they say, what goes around comes around.
I imagine nothing to worry about unless you're a criminal!
nm
LOL. I imagine someone with sharp scissors cutting pennies.
s
I would imagine they will just start sending usage payments
:+
I cannot imagine what purpose you intend to serve by this post?
No wonder companies want to go overseas. I wouldn't hire the lot of you anyway with these ridiculous attitudes, slamming, and incessant back-biting.
It is apparent that US MTs are just not worth the trouble. The overseas MTs will do this work WITHOUT COMPLAINT.
Give me one too! Imagine the nerve of them expecting you to work your shift.
LOL
Well just imagine being even happier when you contact the company to follow up, and guess what? sm
You actually get the job because you show an avid interest in a job with the company. On the other hand, you could be just happy to know that you passed the test.
This is Ms B. - Talk all you want, I
You drove me to drink. A six pack just won't get it anymore. I am on the hard liquor. Just kidding. Get back to work.
You would have to talk to them about that.
Sorry. I believe that is confidential information as far as pay but as far as their requirements, it is my firm belief that 5 years is needed to be a good QA person.
I can tell you this because I still talk with MTs that
work for them currently, my name is still on the mail list, and I have not been there in over 2 months. I'm not doubting that they have hired people, but keep in mind that they have brought down the 3-5 year minimum experience, now down to 2 year minimum expeience. So that accounts for A LOT of the new hires.
lp talk
I think they pay very well. Correct about turnover on QA managers. Pay is 1st and 15th, but once in awhile, they change it to 7th and 22nd, and you wait an extra week to get paid, which is quite horrible. Is your new job Emdat? Did you find the job through here?
Like to Talk More to You
Hello,
You have an interesting name, something like HappyWithoutPS? Anyway, I see you know a lot about Precyse, the true straight skinny, eh? That's what I wanted to know about.
Do you mind telling me what company you are now working for? Do you like it? I am looking for a good one. Thanks.
Linda D.
No talk?
They also cannot control your rights to freedom of speech, as long as you are not spreading lies.
So, let's think of something else to talk about
nm
thanks for pep talk
I appreciate it. I was feeling like I just shot myself in the foot. I will check them out. From what you say, they sound okay. Is this one people refer to as MDI? I saw there is also MD-IT. Which is which?
before you talk yourself out of it,
you'd be wise to consider the future of MQ in this country. I left there after a long time and long time being their cheerleader. All the red flags of concern are in place.
You might be able to talk...
MDI-MD into that one. They seriously need weekend coverage.
Talk to your STM about it - she or he can sm
set your choices as ASR vs non ASR if you want to opt out. They don't just let you know, you would have to ask. Also what I was correcting what that you said ASR pay would drop to 35%; your pay remains at 70% of non ASR rate. Did you know other companies pay a flat rate of as little as 2-3 cpl for editing?
As for what is not on ASR - it's not always the crappy guys who are left but the people whose formats can't be mimicked by the ASR engine. (Guys who say - Oh go back up and do THIS, etc)
Talk to HR
You need to talk to HR, because I do believe the other poster is incorrect when she says that most companies pay in full for one employee. Rarely does anyone do that any more. When a company advertises paid insurance, they are probably meaning that a portion of it is paid and not the entire premium.
Some employers pay more of the premium than others do - it depends on how generous your employer is.
Believe me they DO talk
They will find out. Whether its okay is up to your company and whether you signed a no-compete agreement. My company found out and tried to make life miserable for me and continues to do so. I won't quit
