Lana... yeah right. A) not your real name and I KNOW who you are and B) you aren't really that &#
xx
Yeah but we aren't doctors and we don't get paid a lot so there nm
mmmldskfjsladkjaf
yeah and the MTSO still charging full price for the work
Most physicians/hospitals don't even know they're dictating into VR so still paying full-on transcription prices while the nationals/MTSOs cut the MT's salary in half. Nice huh?
Yeah, be careful. I worked for MTSO that "said" they paid for spaces. I had to work really S
hard for my lines. Took a second job part-time with hospital, same platform (EXText), same font size, etc. and did the same amount of lines in half the time. Decided to look closer at the MTSO and found out they weren't counting spaces. I confronted them and all of sudden. Got lots of apologies and will add to your next paycheck. Long story short, never happened and I never had any work after that.
There are a lot of unscrupulous MTSOs out there. They lie, cheat, and steal!
It is not slander if it is not a lie is it?
If it truly was your experience that you are relating here then how can anybody say that is slander? This is what is being used on everyone who posts their experience with them that was a negative one and that is wrong wrong wrong!!!!!
How can you sue people for slander
or damages of any kind if they are telling the absolute truth. There is no slander in that.
Slander is when there are false statements. .
NM
sounds like slander...hmmmm
;)
She is here to slander a good company just simply
because they decided to change their mind on an MT trainer position calling the owner a liar. How sad is that. If she only knew the owner and what a good woman and professional she is.
Thank you for standing up for MTs
You are absolutely correct, the more you make, the bigger target you are to fall the hardest. I would just like to write that I am a very good MT. I am leaving this field because I have been employed by companies that promise the world, but never deliver. I get offers reguarly, but this business is cut throat and I do not want to be a part of it any more. Thank you for standing up. Just because I am leaving this field, does not mean I am a lazy MT or not a good MT. I AM A GOOD MT.
why are they still standing?
How long can one company not pay people without some sort of legal punishment? I have seen negative messages about this company on this board for who knows how long....a couple years I've been on here. Can the workers and past workers not start a class action against this company? Morally, I could never do people that way.
Do you think all the headers and footers aren't getting counted? Lots of places aren't giving

Standing ovation for this (nm)
.
This post was standing up for GP...
it was directed to the other poster who keeps harassing GP. Read the last paragraph of the OP's post.
Who sued you?
Details please - who sued, what did they sue for (cause) and what kind of damages? it seems a little questionable that an MTSO that owed you money successfully sued *you* - without your being able to counter sue, or sue the MTSO right back...
It is a long standing issue at
Davis Transcription including bounced checks (notice I did not say check). I gave up. My work is worth some respect and that is measured by when the company pays. She has excuse after excuse and the office staff just floats along with her. Soooo glad I left!
Good luck
If that's the case, bravo for her for standing up
for her beliefs. I took a stand on mine when I quit a former job. All the best to her if that's the case.
Insulting others who are hurting is not standing up for yourself
Don't fool yourself into thinking what you have up your back is a backbone ;-)
to "you can be sued"
Get real, get a life.
My husband was sued for this
by a previous employer (not transcription) after he quit his job and took a job with a competing company with better bennys and $. It was a route/delivery type job. He did sign a non-compete contract, but the judge denied their suite saying the company does not have a right to prevent a person for making a living. It was determined he was working an already established route and was not approaching the first company's clients, and therefore was not in violation. Of course every contract is different, but I can't imagine they can keep you from working.
Hope you don't get sued! LOL
While I can empathize with your desire to draw attention to what you feel is an outrage, your actions are probably poorly supported legally - if at all.
If I were that company, I would take you to the cleaners over it.
I don't believe for one minute your little signs have caused what you state they have. It's not enough to make insurance companies withdraw lucrative contracts. LOL
Good story line, though.
R.H.Occupant-the sad thing is the door is standing

Might be for same reason the MQ people sued -
Line counts!!!!!!!! Do you ever verify yours against another program? What about the reports typed but not credited for.
I heard ex-SPi emps sued SPi and won
I heard that ex-employee(s) has/have sued SPi in the past and won. Does anyone know anything about this and/or where I can get more info and the full details?
WHO is being sued for posting on the board?
Seriously is someone being sued for their post?
If so, what is the charge?
On the face of it, this seems outrageous - would appreciate any details you can share.
How are you privy to know amount she was sued for?
I might be wrong, and I keep up with these posts and never saw before the $$$ amount GP was sued for. Very interesting- sounds almost like she could have written this.
See, it is working, we are strong and standing up for our American sister MTs!
We can make this a positive. You are already doing that! We former Heartlanders appreciate what you have done for us. We cannot remain silent.
A company feels like if you keep your credit in good standing, then
they can expect the same from you. I am in total agreement with a company checking, I have nothing to hide, in fact am very proud of what my credit score is. They don’t care what you owe or how much you owe, the only thing they are looking for is how do you handle your credit. When you are renting now, places check your credit. Smart move on their part.
Exactly. That also goes for good and bad comments. Employers can be sued.
Employees can also be sued. Bad taste though and we do not need that type of thing. We have had enough of it on these boards.
I hope you sued in small claims court! -(nm)
ANYONE ELSE BEING SUED BY TRANSTECH MEDICALFOR POSTING ON THIS BOARD??
X
gosh -- it's been over a decade since I've heard of anyone being sued ....
I could understand if they wanted to fire people who they felt were bad actors or had bad atttitudes, but I've never understood how/why they'd sue individuals for expressing their opinion -- unless they could prove that there was deliberate misrepresentation going on --- and I personally cannot imagine why anyone would try to make any MT company look artificially worse -- so many have such real problems -- like overstaffing, crappy platforms, lousy supervisors, crazy-making QA departments -- endlessly -- and so on
I remember when I first started with a national years ago (not TT) and discovering that they had sued MTs for posting over at MT Daily -- I couldn't imagine why they'd bother. Even then there was more competition for really good workers (who might chose to work elsewhere based on some internet postings) than there seems to be these days ...
What a waste! Better they all clean up their practices and spend the money doing some employee satisfaction polling ...
lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make

when docs give mtso a check, then mtso pays you?

Gourdpainter
I think you are wise and spot-on. IMHO, the AAMT or whatever that silly sorority is calling itself these days did more to hurt the common MT than any other single factor. I have been in this business a looooong time and have never seen those folks do anything to help the MTs. On the other hand, they have been busily engaged in OFFSHORING and doing whatever else could line their pockets. Now I am off to bake a pie!
Gourdpainter
I agree with you about some people not having an ear for it. I think I may be defining zone differently than you do. I see so many people who are the proverbial mommies in jammies who think they can step right into 40K a year. That's not going to happen. Many people are not willing to do the work. By getting into the zone, for myself, I mean, letting my friends and family know not to call me during my work hours except for emergencies, working as professionally as if I were at an outside workplace, setting hourly production goals, etc. I think that if people realized how many interruptions they allow and put a stop to them, their income would increase from that alone. I do agree with you that some people do not have an ear for it. It is kind of like being a singer. I would love to sing but cannot carry a tune so that will never happen. I guess it is best I do not have the ambition of singing grand opera.
Gourdpainter
You and I are politically on the same page. When I left MQ and was interviewing with other companies, one of my first questions was Do you offshore? If they did I politely thanked them for their time but told them I believed in American jobs for American workers and would not work for them. I also believe that MTs who work for companies who offshore are helping undermine the American worker. As to the AAMT or whatever they are called now (I lost track), I have zero respect for them. I have yet to see one thing they have done for the American MT.
I don't think Gourdpainter is mean at all
I think she speaks the truth from experience. If you don't want to read her posts, move on to something else. She has as much right to be here as you do.
To: gourdpainter
Thank you for your feedback. I have several additional questions if you don't mind taking the time to answer them.
1. Why do you say ERs are going to VR in the future?
2. Do you feel your experience was different than most, or the typical ER scenario? I seem to recall many posts from people saying that they really love ER and I was wondering why, based upon what you are saying now.
Thanks.
Gourdpainter: Just an FYI.
Gourd is on my son's spelling list at school for next week. I thought of you immediately LOL. PS: This MT is an artist, and thought about gourd painting, looked up the web site you suggested, but it seems too difficult that is the cleaning and preparation. I admire your hard work. Easier for me to just type and paint canvas. But I would buy hand-painted gourds from you. Seems cool. Anyway, just wanted to let you know you were thought of re: Son's spelling list. You may even make it into his homework sentences. tee hee.
gourdpainter
You are so right on. On one of my jobs, I currently have a 90% almost all ESL account nobody else seemed to want and while other people are complaining of no work, I have tons of work all the time. I look at the ESLs as my job security. Any hour of the day or night that I want work, there is plenty. God bless the ESLs!
Oh Gourdpainter...
I so wish we could go out for drinks one night...we could howl the night away! I am LMAO, thank you cause it is the first time I have done such today!
gourdpainter
It just ticks me off that this happened to you. I would rather imagine that the ACLU might be interested in this infringement on your freedom of speech....
gourdpainter
Actually, I hope you get some pit bull lawyer and sue their, well, you know, off for malicious prosecution.
gourdpainter
I had the same thing happen to me. Another MT cyberstalked me because she did not like what I had posted. There are some real angels out there in cyberspace but there also, as they say in Brooklyn, some real pieces of work. Everyone needs to be careful.
gourdpainter
I can their karma cannot catch them soon enough, all the way from MQs minions down to the greedy mom and pops. Yes, there are a few greedy mom and pops still life, and a few really great ones, too. I don't paint everyone with the same brush by any means, but it does seem that ethics and kindness flew out the window about ten years ago in our industry. (I am NOT talking about my current company, but others I have worked for!) To the squids and the folks who have forgotten the rules of fair play, I can only say, WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND! It's a rule of life.
gourdpainter
You are one wise woman. I feel really isolated, despite living in a big city. I also feel completely betrayed. When I was a little kid my parents taught me that should always be loyal and give my highest and best to any company I worked for, and I did it. (Silly me.) It would seem that we are just machines to be lugged around and plugged in and used up. Feh!
gourdpainter
Don't you have anything better to do? Like painting gourds? Halloween is coming, surely it is your busy time of year, no?
Yeah, yeah, I spelled health wrong -
I am very angry right now and my fingers are taking it out on the keyboard.
Gourdpainter, you're right--
we have too many people and not enough jobs. We need a temporary halt on immigration and tough rules to protect American workers.
Hey gourdpainter, I used to work for MRC before they SM
merged with TL and became Medquist. I miss those days...
