Omniscribe in Idaho?
I've searched and read the archives, but I'm looking for more recent information. Thanks! 
I live in Idaho.. and our laws are that you can only be fired and NOT receive unemployment ..
if you were fired for gross misconduct and boy is that a loose term. I worked for an office that fired two transcriptionists, each were absolutely horrible and used wrong terminology etc.. yet they were able to get unemployment because although they were obviously not competent for the job, they do not consider that gross misconduct. Strange laws here.. Just means you can stink at your job, get fired, and still get paid.. We believe one of the transcriptionists intentionally screwed up so bad that she would be fired and could collect unemployement.
Just curious as to what MTSO feels is good pay for

I'm curious from your perspective, who has a good platform and why? sm
I see you posting regularly and I'm curious what you think Wbmdx could and should incorporate to make Enterprise better. Thanks.
What do you think a good gift would be from an MTSO? I am curious what would be a well-accepted gif
Let's be realistic and realize that most companies can't send out $500 to each employee if they have more than a few to send to, but maybe if we get some good ideas, we have something to start with and/or build on.
One reason I stopped sending gifts for Christmas, MT Week, birthdays, etc is that so many people complained about what they got that it made it more stressful to send anything at all and quite depressing to put time, thougt and money into something I thought was good only to be ridiculed.
I would love some suggestions for the future!
Oh, guess it is good I didn't then:)

Good guess. I'm one of the in-house
MTs that were tossed out.
My guess, your test is either really good or
s
I guess my original point was that it's not all good for all MTs
I was thrilled when KS called me, and I had really high hopes, in large part based on what I read here in this forum. But my primary account dried up after the docs went to voice, and yet it's still my primary account -- with no work! There are two of us attached to this account, even though there isn't enough work for one part-timer. Lately I have been checking the account from 7:30 a.m. until 10 p.m., but there simply isn't anything to do. The docs are doing their own work. So why do we even have this account?
I too have a great relationship with my lead. We talk on the phone every day, we e-mail every day, she regularly requests additional accounts for me, but still the work doesn't come. It is truly a mystery, but based on some of the other comments on the boards, I'm not alone.
I've already had two backup accounts fizzle out, and I'm waiting to train on a third -- but I'm only to do overflow and won't have any regular work from the account.
That is great for you that your accounts are steady and reliable, and I would love to be in the same situation. I expected to be in that situation! I'm used to 1400-1600 lines per shift. I have had really good feedback from QA, so my work isn't an issue. All I am doing is asking for enough work. I thought that was why I was here. I can't wait for accounts they hope to get in a week, a month, two months. I have tried to give KS the benefit of the doubt, rationalizing that the accounts drying up is out of their control, but I need work and my family is counting on me to bring in a paycheck. I've been waiting for work for five months. Would you wait that long?
Well I guess I should have said good company not job. No I don't expect someone
to just hand me a good one. I am very capable of finding my own jobs. And for your information, I have a good full-time MT job that I have been with for the past 4 years. I'm looking for a part-time job with a good company. Sorry I hit a nerve with you. That is exactly why I have never posted on these boards. Ask a simple question and get snotty answers!!! Have a nice day.
I guess 17 years of ortho exp. isn't good enough for them
LOL Everyone I guess that says something good about a company is upper management.
Make sure you get your facts straight before you call me upper management.
If anyone would like to email me, then that is okay with me. I dont know how to add my email addy on here, but if you let me know how I would surely like to email you.
Thanks.. I really needed to have good family coverage.. I guess MDI is out for me.. nm

I guess the real test will be if the adminstrator removes the ad as a scam. They are very good at
looking after us and do try to help us from getting scammed. It also is incredibly sad the because of the state of the our profession when an ad like that does post so many people flock to it. Maybe, it was some kind of sick joke because things like that usually do not exist in our profession. Really gives me a red flag kind of feeling but you never know. Maybe it is a case of a company being started by MTs who have also been where we all are and want to make a difference. We havent' lost our ability to dream, have we??
YIKES... I guess I knew it sounded to good to be true. I wonder if anyone ever gets sign-on bonuses
at any company. Maybe we should take a survey on who actually gets a sign-on bonus. How depressing is that. Now I'm bummed.
Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.
s
I guess no news is good news! :-)
Thanks anyway!
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

Curious too!! I am on LOA with them, but would like to know!!

Curious?
Which "owner" are we talking about? I've worked there 2 years and never encountered a "moody" person. Matter-of-fact, I don't even know who the owner IS come to think of it?????
I'm curious
So many trashing MQ before they've read the new information. If you're that unhappy why do you stay? Why not leave before the packet arrives? Why not quit kvetching and moaning and go find someone whose practices and pay rates you find satisfactory.
How many of you are MTs with less than "perfect" skills and yet MQ keeps you on? How many of you work the required hours? How many of you do what is expected of YOU as an MT? My guess, having spent many years as an MTSO, is that many of those complaining are the ones not meeting the requirements of being a PROFESSIONAL MT.
Give MQ the benefit of the doubt. I've known this company since its inception in the 1970s and believe me, the packet is a good thing for MTs, for the MT industry, and for PROFESSIONAL transcriptionists who want to continue doing professional work.
I'm also curious if they
hire IC or FTE? Looks like an interesting company. I'd like to know something about them too!
Curious
Why, those 2 last names are partners in OSi
Now I'm curious
I agree DH is a good person, she's the only one I've ever spoken to in the office besides the techs. Curious to know who the swivel head might be. LOL Didn't know they ran out of work, wouldn't bother me once in awhile but if it became consistent....well....
Curious - What is SBC? sm
I have Verizon Freedom. I told them exactly what I would be using it fr and they said no problem, unlimited. I hope they don't call me out on it.
MDI-MD MTs - I'm curious whether you use
another expander? And if you use Bayscribe, do you use the Quick Bar? I keep going back and forth. I have ShortHand and Smartype of my own. I've tried all different combinations of using them and can't seem to find the right combination. What I like about Shorthand is that a box pops up to tell me/remind me what is going to play out when I put in a certain shortcut. The Bayscribe Expander doesn't, unless you are using the Quickbar. But then when I use the Quickbar I have trouble with it expanding stuff I don't intend to expand, especially when I putting in the header stuff. But a plus for Quickbar is that is expands instantaneously and I have found Shorthand to hesitate slightly and sometimes by that time I have gone on typing and it will do weird things like capiltalize a letter in the middle if I have pushed the caps key or whatever as I continue typing.
What works for the rest of you?
just curious, but . . .
Didn't the administrator ask OSi to confirm that they were offshoring before making a decision about banning from the board? Of course we all know they didn't get the truth, but I do think they asked them directly. If a co. is going to put ads on this board, don't they owe it to the adm. to be truthful? And I really think they would be. But my biggest question is why some of you people on here just persist on bullying people when they ask questions. It's ridiculous and childish.
I'm curious about this too. (sm)
I spent some time on the AAMT website and can't find it there either. Were you able to get an answer?. I may call the company tomorrow to ask them again before I make my final decision.
Curious...
as to why you only worked on it for a few days?
Just curious!!
 Does anyone know anything about a company called ATSI (american transcription solutions, inc.) also known as MT World? Just wanted some info on this company (the good, bad, and the ugly). Thanks
Just curious!!
Is the money the only thing that stopped you or was there something else?
To Just Curious
Yes, the subjects are similar and forgive me if this second post bothered you. My first message was directed at how to ensure I could get my first job back within the MT department where I previously worked. In this second message I was questioning whether national employers might hire me if I wasn't accepted back into my department. I was concerned how my two-year lapse working would be received by the national companies as I'm sure the dates will be verified by my employer.
I am curious as well
I have also taken the initial test and will be taking the second portion. Would also like any info anyone may have!
But is that at 4 cpl? Just curious.

I'm curious too!
:)
Curious too
I work for Cymed too, but I'm pretty far out of the loop about anything..just sitting home typing... curious though.
Just curious though...how many hrs PTO
do you get per year and how long before you can start using it. Also, is the PTO and holiday time paid at a flat hourly rate for everyone or based on your average? This is all stuff to compare. Thanks.
Curious
Are you considered an employee or IC with them?
Curious to know...
if the original poster below did indeed report them...or if the previous team lead did as well?
I'm just curious about something sm
What do you have to lose about communicating openly and honestly with your manager? The worst they can say is No, I need you to stay on X accts. If you say look, I'd be more productive on 1 primary - or whatever your magic number- although happy to help with other accounts, maybe they'll say Sure.
All you can do is ask. I asked for 3 primaries and 2 backups at my employer (Webmedx) and my manager was happy to do it for me.
just curious
how many different accounts do you have to work on in that shift to stay busy?
just curious. Who came up with the 40%? nm
Was just curious
I really couldn't care less about the insurance. I was just curious as to how much it was in case I ever do decide to sign up for it. I don't even get the insurance where I work now as I don't need it. I just asked out of sheer curiosity.
curious to know...
how did they change their pay? I used to work for them on an oncology account...stayed for about 1 year. I do like oncology but it was for a teaching facility and had mega ESL dictators.
Just curious
what company is TTS?
just curious
any information on TAIB in Maine.
Curious too
I saw the same add. Anyone had any experience with them? Their website says they pay 8 cents a line or something comparable, depending on the account.
curious as to
.
Curious
I don't think I would be in breach of any contract (which I haven't signed yet anyway) if I told you that my last day of employment was Monday, September 10, 2007.
Curious....
did anyone contact them with more than 5 years experience and what did they offer you?
I'm curious too, and about CMT...SM
I started in MT in 1985 and have never bothered to get certified, and it hasn't held me back any. I've worked in a hospital, a huge clinic, two several-doc offices, and for 2 nationals. No prospective employer ever asked me if I was certified (as an MT, at least...lol!). Don't really think it's that big a deal.
