High horse
You make some good points but the vast majority of MTs don't apply to your condescending e-mail. Glad I don't work for you. You find some poor employees in any industry, and the few bad apples in the MT business are not the reason work is being sent overseas where the work is even worse quality (but done with a smile - I give you that). Whatever - I will just be glad when this post has moved on to another page.
Come down off our high horse
I used to have excellent credit too until my husband lost his job and I had surgeries 9 months apart. There are circumstances that do cause people to lose their credit.
Maybe some bad luck should hit you and then you would understand how some of us feel!!!!
Come Down Off Your High Horse!!!
It sounds like you have spent too much time at the beach listening to the waves and in the sun as your brain is fried. Who do you think you are talking to anyone this way???
I have a good job, make good money and I always have work but your attitude is just right down horrible.
Since you don't spend much time here, I think you should just probably stay totally away if this is the kind of attitude you bring when you do decide to be here.
I don't see you on a high horse...sm
I agree with you 200%
Get off your high horse already
I have researched anything and everything I have ever delved into thoroughly before jumping on it. If a newbie jumps right in without researching first, it is their own dang fault. Geez.
You are on a very high horse
Might want to come on down and sit in the horse stuff with the looser MTs....waaaah
Well, come down off that high horse
you seem to be on. Where do you get that Now Let Me Tell You Something. First of all, who are you and what does it matter. You talk like that to your kids, not to another grown person. Sissy, go back to mothering now, ok? More experienced MTs know the 3 day leave for a funeral, newbies seem not to know.
Wow 8 years and already on a high horse? you
would be a good QA person one day, NOT
Funny, been on my *high horse* for 20 years!

Just a matter of time before she will be off her high horse
Medware used to be a stable company. I wonder if their advertisement will now say Used to be AAMT company of the year - or Please sign up with us- we will help you be eligible for welfare - or better yet Happy MT week, your job has been phased out.
Oh dear goddess, climb off of your high horse...
I've been doing this 20 years, half of that from home. If YOU don't feel the need to be appreciated ONCE A YEAR, then you're name says it all, ma'am....
You HAVE been an MT far TOO LONG.
*Laughing at your post and superiority complex*
You sound like an ex-friend I used to have that was on a high horse all the time. BOY am I glad I
She was always so quick to point out everyone's faults, preaching about what you SHOULD be doing, while at the same time, doing everything wrong herself. I believe that is why she has no friends. People don't like to be around that.
Get off your high horse for crying out loud. She did not mention that it was a transcription company
ENCOMPASS

Employee assistance is available to support all staff and their family members at no cost. This confidential service addresses a variety of issues that may affect the quality of your work or personal life including stress, depression, anxiety, grief and relationship conflicts
Maybe YOU should do some research before you jump all over somebody. WHen a person just mentions a name, it doesn't necessarily mean a transcription company.
They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x

The automobile put the horse and buggy drivers out of work...
that doesn't mean the car was a bad thing! EMR technology WORKS efficiently (I am speaking now of direct input by the provider, not VR or offshoring...those still suck) and it puts the accountability for accuracy where it belongs, with the servicing provider. It is in fact the wave of the future and we may as well just face that and plan accordingly.
I hope to eke a living out of this until retirement (just another decade or so away). I would not advise any young person to get into it actual transcription now, though, just from reading the handwriting on the wall. If I were looking to get into the field now I would aim for the programming, sales, or management end of the biz.
I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
once in a while when work volume is very high.nm

I work on one that does not need high speed but have been told sm
that there are very few like that.
DRC if you're capable of high quality work.
DRC (Digital Records Corp.) is a top-of-the line company to work for, if you are capable of doing top-of-the-line work.
Their pay scale for ES wasnt high enough for me. I make a lot more where I work now.
but, to each his own.
Need detailed info on DSG. It is stable work for a high producer? nm

Yes, I should have gone to management to work it out.
Actually the manager of this person did call me to discuss the matter, and looking back I should have talked about the problem, but did not because I thought it was very high school behavior and I did not want to speak poorly about my supervisor's attitude. I was actually there less than 2 weeks, in response to the old timer comment and yes you can tell a nasty person that quickly. Of course if you have the ability to ignore that it is up to you. However, professionalism is tops to me when working for anywhere, they expect me to be professional, I expect the same in return. I never did talk to the person's manager because I figured people don't change and I am not one to try. For me it was not the place. For other people it might be. Just stating my personal experience is all. No need to discount it. Fact for me need not be discounted only learned from and then decide for yourself is all.
Used to work for the old MTA also and liked the management -

Not management, never have been and don’t work for TT
I did not want to do VR but my hospital went to it around 2002. I had worked there so many years and did not want to find a new job. What I see are others who do VR and we see we are put down by people thinking we are slow, cannot make it in the regular work of MTing and where people get this from I have no idea. I have tried to explain what VR is, how if you get a good group to train it can be a money maker. You have to be able to go extremely fast and be a good editor, otherwise you can throw the towel in now. My quality did not go down when I started, otherwise no job. I am graded every 3 months and still maintain a high 97-98% accuracy rate. The main thing I see when I and others are accused of management is we are slow and we have to be managers. Nope, I just try to hopefully try to explain how it is and if you get a good platform and people to train, even though the pay may not be good (I make 4 cents a line) you can average $20 something dollars an hour. I have heard in my company people make more but I don’t. True it is not the money I made inhouse but I really like.
Their new pay plan brought me back to newbie wages since I don't do high volume. And the work loa

I'd love to work for OSI in management
LOL
Of course you work for OSi. You sound just like their management
how sad!
Although I am not in management, I work close with them. sm
They do not offshore. If you have experience, negotitate your line rate. You will get very close to what you want if you are good.
They do work with new MTs, which I think is a great thing for them. Everyone needs someplace to get the experience.
If I had to say one negative thing about them it is this... they are pretty strict on the schedule you set for yourself.
They do offer 2nd and 3rd shift differential. There is also a weekend differential. They do offer further bonuses from time to time.
I personally like their software since it is integrated with Word. It is very easy to use and easy to learn.
Although I am full time, I cannot elaborate on their benefits. I know they have medical, but no dental or vision as far as I know. However, my spouse carries the insurance so that was never an issue for me.
I hope this helps. I know a lot of people do not like Softscript. I can say if you would have asked me 1-1/2 years ago, I probably would have agreed with them, but there have been a lot of changes and they really are for the better of the employee not just the company.
Does anyone work for Adept Word Management
and if so are they are good company? Do they pay on time and are they flexible with schedules? Is the work steady? Thanks in advance for any information you can give. Have a great day!
DSG is a good fit for me, management friendly, pay on time, occasionally running out of work is one
of my biggest complaints, but it is usually not for long, just enough to upset the routine. Production incentive a plus. Sound quality depends on the account.
DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm
pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, recent management changes, email me if you want
to ask specific questions and I'll try to answer them.
Good company, pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, nice coworkers and management has
always been very nice to me. Incentive for MT over production goals.
I do not see you on any horse either
You have a right to your opinion and I respect you for it. You said what others want to say, but do not want to be criticized for saying.
This was from the horse's mouth.
Perhaps you need to get a new horse.
Remember the packet changes are effective January 1, not today.
It's unfortunate you aren't being paid for downtime. I was paid several times for 40 hours, when my hours fell short.
I see the packet as MQs move to finally consolidate EVERYONE onto the same plan of management so this ridiculous "but my office says and it's true" stuff can stop.
The horse's mouth would be
The Administrator can only go by what she is told by the company directly or an MT has to produce proof that they offshore before she prevents them from posting on this board.
from the horse's mouth
Per company e-mail from Transcend CEO, the merge is with Transcription Relief Services.
No? The horse is at the glue

Yup - horse i out of the barn, that's for sure.
,
that horse fromthe packet and
the Qnet rules. tellher to go lookit up.
Can lead a horse to water....D&L
I can understand you're still working for D&L because I too have never been one to jump on the bandwagon. It is my own mistake not to have abandoned ship on D&L back when all the signs were saying GET OUT NOW!!! I remained loyal to this company and worked my butt off for them.
In the end, what did it get me and everyone who stuck around doing what they could? Nothing except a string of financial crises, ignored calls & emails, empty promises as they dumped their financial dilemma on me and the rest of us.
D&L still owes me for work done from June-July. They haven't yet paid their original set of MTs that worked the hospital account. They lied to us for weeks and suddenly owned up to the situation with the Oh Well email filled with promises of making good on pay.
....We are told that the payment will be honored when represented our bank has delayed availability of those funds until Thursday 07/19/07. Once those funds are made available we will immediately issue checks to anyone effected by this situation. We apologize for this unfortunate event and will expedite payments once funds are made available......
Here it is September 9th already, still no check.
Sorry to say, but what makes you think they have any intention of making good on YOUR check(s)?
Seriously, it's in your own best interest to find other employment quickly and not waste another minute working for free or you too shall suffer a financial crisis that will take months to recover from.
Good luck in your job hunt.
To quote Donna directly......It is what it is
the horse has already left the barn nm

Watch that first step off the horse. NM

Oh, that's horse puckey. The reason they
offshore is because they want a higher profit margin. You think MTs should now work for minimum wage so the MTSOs can keep their earnings high? No way. The quality in India is AWFUL. You get what you pay for, and hopefully the resulting lawsuits by the patients will make it less cost-effective.
Beating a dead horse
Not sure about NOW but they used to hire a lot of people M-F who had to work only 1 weekend per month. I chose to work on a weekend day because of more money but a lot of people that were hired still work M-F and rotate weekends.
Dead horse is right, Sharon
These people do not want to listen to reason, do not want reassurance, and quite frankly do want to have to expend the brain cells to LEARN. They'd rather trash the company, VR programs and MTs like us who are successful at it and make good money at it. No point wasting your time or effort.
I say let 'em go...Sounds like TTs better off without them and I'd hate to think I have co-workers of this mentality.
Have a nice dinner out...One of the beauties of working for TT (even on VR, lol) is the extra money for the nicer things in life. At least when all of these posters bail we'll have even more work and even more money to enjoy the finer things in life!
Oh, horse poop, anyone can retire
I can retire, no big deal about that. Stated the facts, she is retired and she has come here to gab. I don't think she is particularly lucky. I am the age of retirement but choose to work because I want to make double the money. Don'cha think that is smart? I also don't have to worry about working, just do because I want to.
Beating a dead horse here, but
If these companies came on here and started naming employees that were bad news, you all would be in a hurry to find a way to make it someone else's fault.
There must be grounds for the poster to be sued by TT or else a lawyer wouldn't have taken the case. Who wins? No one.
The poster allegedly being sued came on here to gather up a herd of followers and then closed her thread. I don't see her posting any longer, do YOU? But, you are here to defend her? For what reason? It makes no sense to me.
Whoever this person being sued in my OPINION has screwed up this board for the last few days. It is nothing but fighting and bashing! That poster is gone with the wind now, probably never to return again and we're all at each other's throats.
Can we please quit beating this horse; it's dead; deader than a doornail!
Gorgeous horse country right outside of Philly!
Google areas near New Bolton Medical Center in Pennsy. If country is up your alley, there are lots of great towns. If you like cities, then Philly is for you! Go EAGLES!!
