You asked for a verse, and so I gave you one! sm
I am far from being a bible thumper! I judge NO ONE! I've could have had countless jobs this year. I'm always looking at the boards. Maybe these MTs that can't get hired need to to have a positive attitude and not be so negative. People want to be around positive people. Negativity is a cancer.
you just basically gave the same answer .sm
which is not good enough. Someone's credit could be shot BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE. Then what?
Why? I am an MT. I don't want to file or answer phones, and if they gave me something else to d
they would have to take the work from someone else. Why would they do that? MTs make a lot more than Med Rec clerks. Make the MTs take their PTO and pay the Med Rec clerks their lower wage. Not pretty but realistic.
Please read BEFORE you respond - they asked about the WI Accustat and you gave very WRONG informatio
gg
YOu gave Colleen no constructive info. "Run" is not an answer to the question of how a company

Someone below asked why no posts about KS lately? I can answer for me at least. sm
I used to post on here as a cheerleader for KS but was always bashed so I stopped posting. I went to the owner of the company about the bashing, and she responded that while she used to get upset by this board and others like it, she stopped paying attention to it and decided that if someone had a decision to make, they would make that decision based on facts, not on an anonymous board. She advised that I not take it personally, but I still did.
About 15 months ago, another company contacted me and promised the moon. I asked KS to match it, and they would not, so I left. I became one of the nay say'ers thinking that they did not care enough to make a valuable employee stay and still did not have insurance that was affordable.
Fast forward a year. The company I left for did not live up to any promises. I applied for, was hired at and worked for a month or two or even three for five more companies in 10 months.
Last December, I decided to swallow my pride and go to the owner of Keystrokes to ask if I could come back. She sent me to the recruiter who made me reapply, send my resume, answer the question sheet and take the test. She then offered me my position back on a different account and my same pay rate. I jumped on it and have not regretted it for one second.
I love my job, love Keystrokes and plan on staying for a very long time. The grass is NOT greener on the other side!
I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer

Asked for a raise; no answer in a month
I don't know what to do and thought someone's expertise could help me. I have been at my company over a year. I am the primary Transcriptionist on the account and keep it afloat. When others don't get their work done they call on me and I do their work also. Extra work, I do it. I asked for a raise 4 weeks ago and I am getting the run around. I keep being sent to another person, another person, now this person knows, no now back to that person, etc. I just want an answer!!! I feel like I am pestering them now but I feel I deserve an answer either way. What more can I do? I sent 2 emails last week and have had no response now.
Your post doesn't answer the question I asked.
You said you LIKE to pay your bills, you have a good rapport with your supervisor, you're flexible. Does "you're flexible" mean that you work in addition to your 8-hour shift when the work load is low to make your 20K lines per pay period?
I asked for Transolutions Administration to answer this question.

I once gave my notice when I was in a non-MT position, gave
2 weeks, but the person I was supposed to train felt like she knew my job better than I did (although she knew squat) and was a pain to deal with, never on time, etc. so I only worked about a week of my notice before I left and told the person I was supposed to train that since she knew more than I did have at it. Anyway the owner wouldn't pay me for vacation. I filed a complaint with the labor board and they were more than happy to get my money for me.
Breitner can threaten all they want to. If you can document that you are owed monies, if Breitner can't prove that you aren't owed monies the labor board will be glad to collect your money. I would also file a complaint with the Attorney General . I have heard several people have had payment issues with them while the still worked for them. If people are willing to let them get away with it by just chalking it up to experience, then they will continue to try to get away with it. I'd contact the IRS too. I don't know what Breitner thinks they can do to you - let them threaten all they want to. A word of advice - DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT.
Yep...another Donna here too
lol
SORRY DONNA!!!
You did not say anything harsh. Please accept my appology!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Donna :-)
Thanks for your kind words, Donna. It just infuriates me when people take their misplaced anger out on innocent people using the forum as they are supposed to.
Thanks for your support! :-)
Heads Up.. there is more than ONE Donna :)
Well, this Prima Donna is going to bed (sm)
Have a wonderful evening ladies. Going to get some sleep and then work in the a.m. 
Wish Donna could see what effect it has sm
on our workload when she's typing away off shift. Too bad we can't come on during the day and snag all her work.
You must have read my mind, Donna. I was just about to
post the same question as I am job hunting and don't know where to start. TIA for all responses!!
TO DONNA AND LONG TIME MT
I hate to burst your bubble, but I am a good MT and in demand. I graduated from Andrews School, which is the best in the business and have been told that my work is beyond and above MTs that have been in this field for many years. I have a total of 5 years in this business, but have become disenchanted with it. Both of you have a right to your opinions, but do not assume I am not a good MT because I am leaving this field. I am a highly skilled MT with many offers on the table, I want to get out because I do not like the way this field is heading, and I believe if you show up for work, on your scheduled shift, then work should be available. Work being available when I have agreed to a specific shift is the problem, but also no work being available unless I sit on the computer all day is also a problem. Thanks for your negative opinions, but I am a good MT.
Prima Donna? Are you serious?? Maybe you need a good weekend off..or Prozac! nm

Wasn't Donna bullying Webmedx? I was just sharing my opinion.

TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.
I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.
Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!
xx
I can answer that question with a simple answer!
Strengths - none.
Weakness - all.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
Appreciate those of you that gave
helpful responses
Well you just gave yourself away on who you are.
You really need to try and hold it in
Yep but many of us gave above and beyond for that
company and to be lied to and treated like we were in the end is a disgrace. If you're happy good for up, but with their ethics I wouldn't work for them again.
You are not alone. Me, I gave up. nm.

before they gave my job away to
India last year, I was in-house, hourly, but we had to justify time-loss the last 5 or 6 years because people were always coming in, even at night when I was alone, and interrupting your work flow. I will say we had a service helping, and everybody was first-in, first-out, except for x-rays and path, so we all got our share of horribles to contend with.
Me too. But, I gave up. Although I got
responses back from my resume and or testing they were interested (several), never heard back from any so I just increased workload to help on weekends at regular IC job. Oh, well. Guess they got busy with so many resumes, or the scare of the economic down-turn. Hope you all hear back. It is tough to wait for an interview, because bill collectors do not understand about these things LOL.
I gave them my notice. I was looking
for a job when I found them so I'm not worried. Good luck to you. You might need it.
I gave MQ a set schedule as an SE but
I have the power to change it myself. I simply call (and followup with an email, always) and let them know as soon as I can that I will not be working. I always try to tell them when I will be making that time up or what my alternative plans are. I haven't had any problem.
I don't have a problem with them having a schedule to know when I am expecting to work routinely but I don't have to get approval or get someone saying, "Gee, I wish you wouldn't take off tomorow." I just make my own decision.
I almost gave up the first year--
I was lucky if I made $10,000 that first year. I worked for a small company with low pay and not much work, but they were willing to train a newbie. Now I make $30,000-35,000 and I'm happy with that.
hey, the OP gave her a little info but she can't take the
lol
Went through the same thing and gave up. nm

She gave up too easily IMO.
You can get into the system and see the dictator's other reports. When doing a discharge or consult you can check the H&P. You build your normals for the difficult ones. It takes some time, but it's just the usual groundwork in my experience. These ESLs are quite doable compared to one account I had to do now and then with a different service. And what you can't figure out, you blank. More than 3 blanks and it goes to QA. Not your problem after that. The QA people are great and very complimentary of my work. Makes me feel very good to have them reply that yes, that one was tough! We laugh over what VR would do with those dictators. People can only get good with ESLs if they persist at learning them.
I think the reason you gave for becoming
a transcriptionist, as you put it, probably becoming a Transcriptionist in the first place to stay at home so you would not have to pay for childcare sucks. I got into it because I love medical, did not work from home at first, earned that right. You gave very poor reason as far as I can see.
I also gave up my CMT status
and dropped my AAMT membership a few years ago when I saw in the JAAMT the list of new CMTs had many more from India than from the U.S., and I totally agree with you.
when they gave away my in-house, I
finally got a holiday off. I have worked them for so long, everybody quit even inviting me anywhere. This is the first time I have had Thanksgiving, Christmas, New years, mother's day, off in 21 years. Mostly just got one or two a year.
I gave up too. I got another account with
Keystrokes which is a lot better, but not much work. I think I'll try the DocQScribe account again. Both of these accounts run out of work frequently, almost every day.
I already gave them Spheris's name.
I think what they are looking for besides the names of the companies are the stories of how the outsourcing has affected us financially, hardship wise.
I also told them everything you read the Medical field is NOT being affected by the recession....but we are part of the medical field and we have been and continue to be affected by corporate greed.
Gave up 2 IC jobs
With the incentive plans at TT, I found I was able to drop my 2 IC jobs and just work an 8-hour shift for TT and make a VERY decent wage. Holy moses, does it ever feel great to have a LIFE again, no more being chained to the computer 24/7 trying to make a living!
Oh yeah, great people at TT, too. No surprises, great training, all the other good stuff MTs want/need in a job.
Me too! I gave up 3 jobs for TT and have
Plus benefits like days off paid... this is really really a nice place to be and I so count my blessings.
She gave the name of the company.
If they gave the MLS a raise, they would not be able to
give themselves the big raises and bonuses they get. They want to keep us crawling.
clicked on something that gave it to me
but the stuff I see in the archives seems to mostly relate to a Wyoming Transform. ??
this is so sad, but it gave me a big laugh, thanks,,,nm

Well I gave notice, had no production
or quality warnings, worked my shift plus lots of OT. Had a great supervisor when starting and a not so good one when I left, reason for which I left. She was aware of that so because of her I can't get rehired! She just didn't like me. It happens but as far as my work ethic and quality, no issues there. It doesn't matter anyway, it was a lapse in judgement on my part when I re-applied.
I feel your pain and almost gave up

I posted this before anyone gave any reasons -sm
And... most of what I have read about Amphion on these boards has been pretty decent stuff, not all, but most. I was just a little dismayed and disappointed to see such a negative statement about a company I had just interviewed with.
