Wow. Don't be upset! These are just board comments
Please dont take these things so personally, it isn't worth ruining your day. Leave if you want, but not on a bad note! JIMHO
Best read the comments on this board first!

He posted comments on the word board
on Jan 25 that there was a lot of misinformation about his company and then made the statement about people going to the source to find out the truth.  I think he and empty pockets may be fast friends.
The racist comments on this board are tiresome...

Search the board here. Lots of comments! nm

No..go back and read your comments on MQ board
they speak for themselves.
The staff and the attitudes of the staff. Very helpful, cheerful. (sm)
They seem to work extremely hard to balance everything out, enough work, enough MTs and always making sure they let the MTs know they are a valuable asset to the company. That means a lot. Not to mention the bennies are pretty good, too.
This is discussed here all the time. If you search, you should find the comments. nm

I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
Some are overwhelmed
Some companies may simply be overwhelmed with applications. I know our company has been with each ad we place. It takes a while to go through hundreds of applications. When you have only a few people going through all the applications, plus doing the usual operation duties, plus training new hires, plus being heavily involved with bringing on new clinics, it does take time to get back to every applicant.

I'm not saying that is the case with all companies, but sometimes one person can only do so much in a day, hence the reason to hire more and delegate some those duties. In our case, growth has been rapid enough it can be a struggle to get it all done in a day--and mighty long days at that!

Just trying to give some explanation for the other side :) Good luck to you.

They have probably been overwhelmed with resumes since

they have been discussed so much lately.  I sent a resume and was offered a position without testing within just a few days of submitting it.  I accepted the position and they said it would take  1 to 2 weeks to get all the paperwork done, equipment, and get clearance from the account to access their system.  I ended up not accepting the position so not sure how long it would really take to get going. 


 


From your statement it seems like you are overwhelmed with ASR
I have been working on the same system now for about 5 years and no outsourcing on our job because of it. I still have corrections to make, numbering seems to be an issue some as I have been told the dictators when numbering should all say next and then the machine knows to go to the next number but the dictators do not always do that. I am saying I was told that, do not quote on that point. My pay was never cut 50%, I make over $20+ an hour on voice now and right from the start (again has to do with system and training) our system just seemed to be an exceptional one. Some people do not like, others like me love it. No I am not MTSO, never have been, no I have no stock in the company, no I am not a newbie (30+ years here) and no I am not a slow transcriptionist. Just thought I would answer all the come backs before they appear. The same ones appear over and over as to why a person could possibly like voice. If most at your company entered almost exactly alike, the machine would train itself. If everyone works differently, say 1 person indents for numbering, another does not, then there is the issue. Sorry you have had such unhappy time with your program.
I think this site is overwhelmed...
I don't think it has anything to do with your experience. Now granted I am a newbie and just landed my first job after months, and months of looking, but I only got 1, yes ONE response from anyone of of the job boards on here, and that was to tell me thanks, but we picked one of the other 250 applicants!! (And trust me I applied to EVERYTHING that didn't specify experience requirements for the past 4-5 months.) So I think this website has just become overwhelmed with people trying to find jobs, and the only way you have a shot is to be one of the first few that applies. The job I got was from just searching for local MT companies in my area, going on their website and sending them an email to see if they were hiring.....the place that hired me wasn't at the time, but two months later they emailed back and boom I was hired! I think it says more too if you seek them out and ask for a chance instead of just applying to a list of jobs on a board! Anyways, hope this helps! Good luck with your search!
I have had a similar experience - must be overwhelmed.nm

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 !!
Ugly! Don't know about Rad, but a bud of mine was overwhelmed with paperwork, pay was low, and it

Why so very few comments regarding Diskriter? Are comments by employees not permitted SM
on public forums. I have always been interested to see comments on this company, as they are constantly advertising and seem to have an attractive employee package. Unfortunately, never seeing comments on MT boards makes me extremely uneasy. I'm sure they could have stipulations in their contracts that prevent them from commenting, but even so I would expect to see good or bad comments even from ex-employees. Hmmm? Plus, if the anonymity is supposed to be in place on these boards, how can it hurt for employees to make a general comment, good or bad?
yet you have time to get on this board
and make hateful catty remarks about someone you probably do not even know??? Some folks are just downright meanspirited and get off on being that way... tsk tsk tsk
Have you taken the time to get off this board &
?
I think there are way too many MTs on this board with 2 much time on their hands-sm
I feel like in am in 2nd grade again.
Nobody on this board works. They don't have time.

Time to check the "Jobs" board
There are other places you can work.


Do you really think owners have time to come on this board to know there are any concerns? sm
If you really and truly believe they are offshoring, ask them. Tell them you have concerns and that you have heard they were outsourcing!. I know for a fact that L is still quite involved in the company and believe me, they have hired new people; people who just couldn't cut it and were not good enough to put out quality work; QT has always, always prided themselves in quality! If an MT can't do quality work, why keep them? It's a waste of time and money! I just know one thing, I will do my all this week to help get us back in TAT. You do what you have to do!
I'm sure the attorney has time to "live on this board" like we do. nm

On another board, every time MedScribe is mentioned, SM

there is one particular person who jumps in with the story that she ws never paid by them, and then the company does not get discussed.  So you have not experienced this problem and are relativey happy working there?  I just looked at their website and it actually looked like a good company from what is there, and their ad looks promising also.  Might just be worth checking out, but on that other board, you're just never able to find out anything!  I'm so glad you posted.  I also found out they hire ICs so maybe they'd let some MTs start out part-time to see if they liked it or were, as we say, a good fit  LOL


I have known this for a long time; that is why I NEVER respond to an email from ANYONE on this board

because it will identify your email address when you return their email.  When they ask me to talk via email, I just don't respond to them.  NO RETURN EMAIL FROM ME.


There's tons of info here if you do a board search. They get discussed all the time. :) nm

I think someone on the Main Board had this problem a short time ago. Maybe a search there will show

I have been with MDI-MD since the end of 2005 - and I
totally agree with the comments by anon. I enjoy working for them. Fantastic, caring people to work for. Communication is excellent and far above what I have experienced in the past. Replies are practically instantaneous via email with any questions, problems, etc., you might have to the liaison of your account - same with telephone help via technical support. Have normal slow-downs in work over the Holidays, but I'm kept extremely busy on a daily basis on the account that I'm on - usually doing more than my commitment, though not required to do so. Should there ever be a lack of work on my account and I wanted an additional account, all I would need to do is ask. Please note -- I am on ONE ACCOUNT -- not 5, 10, or more !! Since being hired, I can honestly say that I now love being a medical Transcriptionist again - something I had lost during my prior 12 years with another company :o)
MDI-FL Any 2005 MDI-FL MTs still around who can

Transcend took over MDI-FL in January of 2005.  Is there anyone who transferred to Transcend from MDI-FL in 2005 that is still working for Transcend or can remember back then, and could shed some light on how the transition went and answer some of the questions like:


1.  Did your cpl change?  Higher?  Lower?


2.  Did you have to go to a set schedule?


3.  Did you get to stay on the same accounts that you had at MDI-FL?


Any other information you could share would sure be great.



Thank you. 


They last had an ad here in 2005 for 8 cpl. No other info. nm

still only get posts from 2005

I must be mentally insufficient to utilize these new-fangled gizmos.


 


Their last ad here was from 2005. They may have folded or

Sorry. It has to be me. I did exactly what you said and all it has is 2004 and 2005.
Thanks anyway.  Maybe someone will still enlighten me, but obviously it is not looking too positive so I probably won't waste my time with them.
Don't know, but the posts from 2005 about them are quite negative. nm

I cannot answer for February of 2005.

I was not employed there then.  I have been there a little over 2 years.  I can say when I started at Axolotl there were maybe 10 to 15 acute care MTs.  We have more than doubled in size since then.  I do know that if we had work outsourced to other companies, we would not have the amount of work to transcribe that is always here.


Axolotl is also an EMR provider and if you go to their website you can read all about that area of their business. 


In my 15 years of being a trancriptionist, I have never found a better company to work for and this is why:


1.  They treat their MTs like they should be treated. 


2.  They compensate MTs the way they should be compensated. 


3.  The platform is great. 


4.  We do not run out of work and they do not overhire. 


5.  They offer great benefits.


6.  Great management and editors.


After reading so many horror stories on this site about some of the nightmares other MTs have gone through with other companies, plus the fact I have had a few myself, I am BLESSED to find such a great company.


You are still wrong, I'm sorry; that manual is from 2005 sm
All the managers sent out information saying it was at their discretion. Instead of posting here, why don't you just ask your manager if it is true?
2005 MW Social Security Statement

Thank you very much for alerting us to this. 


I am ex-MW employee.  I too am going to report MW as my 2005 SS statement was not reported.  I hope they are FULLY investigated.


I am going to call SS in the morning.  Who should I notify in the Department of Labor?


I also did not have my state taxes taken out by MW, but I was required to pay my state taxes as if I were an IC in my state, even though I was an employee in this company. 


I have a note from 2005 saying Emdat software, low pay, &

I didn't work there way back in 2005, so
I can't comment on your personal experience, but for me in 2008:

1. If you run out of work, you are paid downtime. You can do backup acounts also. Not sure about the written consent but there are a lot of us who work on other accounts.

2. Sample reports: The program allows you to bring up previously typed reports by experienced MTs by doctor, patient, report type, etc., so the MT has endless samples.

3. Supervisor currently, from what I can tell anyhow, has a lot of contact with hosital including informing them of problem dictators and other issues that directly impact the MT's production, etc.

4. I think they changed the insurance to cover out-of-area employees, but don't quote me on that.

Personally I've had a very good experience with the FL account. Nothing is perfect, but I'm very satisfied.
Pay was low back in 2005 unless you worked the entire weekend. nm
