Good, you go ahead and take 7 cpl

Posted By: gourdpainter on 2009-09-07
In Reply to: I have been an MT for 10 yrs & cannot get 7cpl? - sm

but next week don't cry when they'll only pay you 6 cpl.  Maybe it would be a good idea to get the old movie, Grapes of Wrath with Henry Fonda and see what happens with price cutting.

    GOOD. This is important. Glad you thought ahead.
    .I think we as women are condition to wait and see how it goes. Has it really ever gotten better -- whatever THAT was. We need to learn to believe our gut. When My Office Genie sold to MQ, I guess she (carol) was so fearful, she made the anouncement and wham, immediately gone. Had it all planned out in advance packed and gone..
    I think anything goes here. Go ahead and ask!
    x
    You just go right ahead
    because after all revenge is such a great response to fair criticism, and such a great substitute to considering if said criticism is fair...

    I'd touch base with the company lawyer first, just for the heck of it...
    Already ahead of ya...
    I do have another job and I'm using that as my primary job and using OTI as my second job working just about 10 hrs a week. One thing I like about OTI is they don't give a flip how much or how little you work, they don't even care what hours you work so long as you do clock in once in a while.

    It seems to be a game at this point, so I might as well play or leave.
    Why don't you go ahead and tell them the BAD news? (sm)
    They added a tiny bit to the benefit package (still not comparable to other nationals), still no weekend or shift differential. AND they raised the minimum line count from 10,000 lines per pay period to 12,000. It will be imposible to achieve 12,000 lines on those horrible VA accounts. The recruiter will tell you that you won't get paid for headers or footers because they automatically populate WRONG!!! You will spend an unbelievable amount of time in the demographic screen.
    I went ahead and tested.
    Thank you for the info
    if you want 6 cpl with 20 yrs experience go ahead and take the job -nm
    no message
    I would still go ahead and apply
    I really don't think that a few months will make a huge difference, but you never know until you try. They still may offer you a position. Good luck if you decide to apply!
    I went ahead and e-mailed someone
    There seem to be a lot of people in the lead here, but not sure which one is which.  To me this is a bit ridiculous.  I was put on production right off. 
    Sure, go ahead and e-mail me
    I am blackswan--so ahead and e-mail me.
    Go ahead and take their test and you
    NM.
    Go ahead and do it but be very, very careful sm
    that you put the right report in the right shell on the right person. That is the only problem when the report does not match the voice and patient. As long as you are careful, you will not have a problem.
    Honey, you go ahead and gripe
    all know they stink and that they are thieves. I hope you can find a new position soon. Good luck to you, but please, please get away from SS.
    Go ahead and warn 'em
    but all too many people get carried away and make up all kinds of nonsense.  I have worked for a few companies and do know what is out there.  I have others to compare this company to.  So, that sure isn't the case.  Anyway, its a free board, post away...just warning others to watch out and to form their own opinions.
    thanks for the info- I did go ahead and test
    and it was just like you said. I have 11 years experience and had to leave a couple blanks. MT testing is crazy. I don't know why it has to be so difficult. Oh well, moving on to the next company for testing tomorrow.
    I think I'm gonna go ahead a bite...
    I turned in my Keystrokes paperwork today for a RAD account starting Monday.  It looks like most of the problems are with acute care accounts with more positives on the RAD accounts.  I'm not worried about OT/paid holidays because I have an actual IC job with plenty of work if/when I want it.  I'm just hoping that being this RAD account is new, there will be enough work to keep me qualified for medical.  I see others who just posted recently are new hires also--good luck to all of us!
    Au contraire-perhaps months ahead
    I don't think I am years behind -- if congress/president has any sense, they will begin to bring our jobs back to the U.S.  The idea of exporting our jobs in exchange for supporting our trade partners BOMBED.  Just like the idiots at Wall Street.  It was a great plan - but it has ruined our economy.  I would not be surprised at all if the tide turns -- and I hope that my fellow MTs will do as I ask and write their congresspeople and ask that U.S. work be returned to the U.S.  What did Obama say?  Time for a change?  You got it brother.  (Palin 2012)
    Go ahead, apply, and take my work
    Such glowing reports all the time. Ugg. Please, don't ask someone who stuck with it and went broke, and had to struggle for so long due to overhiring. Of course, they will tell you to go nights and weekends and if you don't it is your fault for not being a team leader. So, go ahead and apply. My job is happily available to you.
    The MTSOs are the only ones coming out ahead with VR.

    That's funny! I wondered how you could know ahead of time! nm

    Hey you guys, go ahead and email Dell
    because he's probably more in a position than I am to acquire more MTs in the near future.  Mine all depends on an account that I'm not entirely sure of yet.  But if you would like to email me anyway I will keep your information in case I do.  The account I may have is an ortho clinic acct and what I would like to do if I get the account is have maybe 3 MTs share 2 or 3 doctors; that way they can all be familiar with all the doctors but also if anyone didn't want to work any given day the other 2 could take up the slack and cover for the MT who is off.  And I don't even know at all that I will get the account or if I do when it will be - but I will keep your info just in case!
    If you can have focus and full steam ahead
    Wouldn't you think??????  LOL
    sry--meant I'm gonna go ahead AND bite
    /
    Go ahead and think that until check is not in mail Monday . . . nm

    Excuse me but I am ahead of my lines for the week anyway sm
    so if I want to make an omelete, that is my choice. Was I complaining for being out of work at that particular moment? No. Besides, I have work now and also, we are allowed a 30 minute break to eat by government criteria. I don't know if you know that or not.
    Go ahead and revolt - do you think that docs CARE? SM
    or the public cares? No - and the companies will use that as an excuse to send the remainder of American MT jobs offshore.

    And before someone says you're a SUIT, NO - I AM AN MT who doesn't like it any more than you do.
    I have known her for 8 years. She is miles ahead of OSI and I'm glad out of the viper pit
    She has never been fired before but she blew it off and is already working. She could have w11m offered some significant skills in many ways if they had beev brimming the comopanybck to life.;
    Obviously you dont do STATS.. that is when your IM'd until you cant stand it anymore.. Go ahead t
    doing stats and let the games begin...and the word NO is not an option..
    Hoorah! I'm still a step ahead of a gas station clerk. n/m

    The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

    You may have to move on to move ahead (sm)
    One way to look at what you are doing right now is more training only you are being paid for it; once you have a year or two under your belt as experience, you may be able to command a higher wage someplace else. It's funny, a place will pay more for someone with 2 years' experience than they will pay someone who has worked for them for 2 years! Go figure.
    Please go ahead and be proud. I am proud too! sm
      I am proud to be an American too.  I am also proud to bring home a good income for my American family.  I am comforted by the fact that I always have plenty of work, never run out of work, and I can easily get 6000 to 7000 lines beyond the incentive point for even more cpl.  I am proud of the fact that I am always paid on time or early.  I am proud of the company I work for and the people I work with.  I am proud to be associated with Cardioscribes and Tonya.  No company has ever treated me better than Cardioscribes does.  I am treated with respect and kindness each and every day.  If I have any problems, they are there to help me in any way they possibly can.  I am proud of the fact that I know where my company stands and where I stand within that company.  Cardioscribes does not hide the fact that there is an Indian affiliation.  You go ahead and be proud to be American.  Your pride just means more work and more $$$ for me and my proud American family. 
    Yes there is! Good pay and good bonuses and good benefits.

    Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
    and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available.  I get along well with the management, no major complaints.  There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period.  I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
    I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm

    Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.

    For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.


    Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
    of work.  I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
    Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
    Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
    Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
    :
    Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!
    x
    TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
    and flexible.
    I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
    TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm

    Good company, great people, good benefits.
    Affordable insurance. Good luck!
    Adminstrative Assistants and VanBelkum. Good companies, good pay!

    Spheris supes/QA are good, insurance not good; they offshore
    nm
    U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
    That should cover it!
    Things are not good there now. Think only hiring for 2nd and 3rd shiifts. Good luck. nmx

    Had the same happen here, heard the same thing, good references and good ....sm
    job record will get you better $$$ if you are willing to promote yourself, search like crazy, talk to everyone, etc., but I have never been paid a cent more for CMT, what a waste, and all the years I paid my dues to AAMT, what a joke, they did NOTHING to better our field, just took the money for better conventions, as far as I can see.
    Good owners, average-low pay, good dictators sm

    Send out checks the next business day after they receive the bill.  Only work when you want.  It's a nice p.r.n. position.

    I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people

    I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 


    I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 


    There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments


    DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
    but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
