High maintenance ladies usually find themselves a sugar daddy to provide their maintenance. LOL Ever consider combining your traveling to help someone who is less high maintenance? Do you know that you can volunteer just about anywhere in the world doing good while vacationing at the same time? How about volunteering with Habitat For Humanity? You could combine that with your traveling too. Gives you a much more warm and fuzzy feeling than just doing for yourself. BTW we just bought a nice large motor home to serve as our private motel room. Actually my husband and I are pretty low maintenance, we get our kicks by doing things for other less fortunate people. Try it, you might like it.
BTW Chatty, how have you been doing the last few years anyhow? Don't ya just love being anon? LOL

Is this what you mean by difficult or high maintenance? lol
:+
Lots of maintenance going on lately, plus
recent ExText upgrade, always Ichart maintenance, service maintenance, little server glitch, recent downtime. It is unfortunate that we do not know what is going on, but I guess it is none of our business . . . just business.
I can get in just fine, but sometimes it goes down for maintenance
Don't worry about it. Just keep trying.
Actually it is SPANTEL. I still get emails when they do maintenance. nm

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.
They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x

This is the TTD lady for sure
Or someone who works with her. No MT would be saying so what.
The Fat Lady Sang
Yes, but did she sing in harmony?
Thank you kind lady.

some lady called...
sounded more like she was screening me. She asked if I had the required needed to work for them (cardiology/pulmonology), line count, high-speed, etc. I told her yes, and she said someone would call me in a few days--that was a few months ago.
You are way off base lady
I have worked with Holocaust survivors, have you? Ive worked cleaning their rooms taking people for walks, holding hands, listening to stories of horror and hope, shared art therapy moments, given hugs and support. Dont you dare judge me. You are way out of line, whoever you are. If you get nothing else from what I've written here, get this: No one wants to be labeled a victim. You have absolutely no right.
Peace.
She's a nice lady but there isn't
I spent most weekends on her stuff. The pay was way low, but she doesn't charge much anyway. She would dump on me Fri night... not sure why she keeps needing this same position, but that should tell you something. She posts for this position every month or so... I guess no one lasts....
You mean the lady named Pepper at OSI?
who knew!
Ur gettin' on my nerves, old lady!
When the lady sold her company to..sm
Execuscribe, it went downhill from there. I was hired by them, went through ALL of the testing except the Psych thing.....and then I was told I would be paid 7 cpl and I had to purchase liability insurance. CC....this Denise person must have been your "bestest" friend????
nice spelling lady
x
I beg ur pardon, young lady!
I was NOT being sarcastic! Medquist truly IS my best company - my previous company paid $9/hr. and at the Q I make $25 - U may open mouth and insert foot now, missy!
I'd say no way, nice lady or not. There is absolutely no
way I would wait for 45 days for a paycheck. She's waiting to get paid before she pays MT and if she doesn't have the $$ to pay MTs whether or not account pays, that doesn't speak well of the company. Also I'm assuming that 6 cpl is as an IC. You'd be better off working in fast food.
There is a lady who posted here in the past - sm
Snowbunny I think is her name that uses it a lot because of her CTS I think. I just recently reloaded it on my computer (had it on my old one but never programed it), and still need to work with it a bit in order to actually start using it. I think it would help me a lot as I am not very fast at typing, even with my shortcuts, etc. Plus it would break up the monotony some I think. I have DNS8. I want to upgrade to the newest (10) but it is quite expensive, so it will probably wait a while. But I have heard if utilized correctly and with some work it can be worthwhile, but like anything it takes practice and you need to build it up, etc.
The J&J lady said to call her if there are questions.
It doesn't matter to me at all, so I haven't.
Hey coffee lady MssIndigo!
I got a kick out of reading your original post about VR and I appreciate this feedback also. I know, it's though though and I have been an MT for 20 years. I thought I was going to be transcribing when I got the job but it is mostly VR and my minimal goal is to achieve 250 lph, which is creeping up, but not there yet. I tell you though... I work hard for that money. My biggest thing with any new company is constantly looking up docs and different facilities. If not for that, my fingers would be flying. Let us all hang in there with a sip of coffee every now and again, eh!
She's a sweet lady. She has a lot of experience and a lot of stories that go with it.
I like her a lot, but I can kind of see where you are coming from, as whenever I've spoken with her I could pretty much write off the next 60-90 minutes. It was a great time to clean out email, though! (And if you are reading this, you-know-who, it's not a criticism but rather an acknowledgement that you have a LOT of stories to tell!)
It is the lady who I call to request time off?
nm
Does anyone know how to contact the lady at Administrative Assistants?? (sm)
I can't find anything for a website or in the archives here on how to contact. Thank you.
Tired of being called an old lady or aging!
I am in this over 26 years. call me old! I am young at heart, about 21. I am also in biological age just 47! How dare you assume. Some of us started working our way through college! I have 3 small children yet, and plan to work for many years to come in this industry. Also don't talk to me like a dutch uncle telling me how I complain this, etc. You don't know me (the above poster) and don't presume you do! I am at once apalled, and insulted someone would come here and talk to me, the one reading this, that way. If you had to put your user name on a regular basis, you would never speak this way. One thing about this board is allowing people to post names on this board begets nastiness. There, now. I have said my old lady, lazy, bad-quality, MTness piece!
Me thinks the lady doth protest too much
I do not know All Type or any of the people involved in this but it have been reading along because I am interviewing with them next week. I was very upset by this and scared that I had made the wrong choice. You have made a lot of statements and I was thinking that you were treated unfairly and that I hoped you proved your case in court and maybe make our place in the industry a little stronger. We are the lowest people on the totem pole in every company and we do get kicked around a lot. But you now sound like you had it in for one particular person at your company and have worked very hard to cause problems for that person. I just do not know why you would stay there or even want to go back if you hate this person and she makes you this unhappy with your life and job and she singled you out to cut your pay so drastically. I agree with the other poster who said you have wasted a great deal of time on this and that you should move on and find yourself a better job with a company that is a better fit for you. I think you have gone too far and become far too emotional when you get this dangerously close to slander.

i got an email from them. Very nice lady, would love to work for
I'm sure they pay very well but I need the insurance. I went with JLG.
I worked for a lady's service who was bought out by Transcend
a few years ago and they offered her a position in the home office. She sold, had the job for a few months and then she was terminated. I know for a fact that Transcend said in a paper article in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution that they outsourced because could not find enough American MTs to do the work. Now what I find surprising is how many complain on here about sitting and waking for work for Transcend. Wonder how that happens?
Funny, but the lady I talked to on the phone about a job there made me decide right then for some
gut feeling that this wasnt for me. Not sure exactly what it was but sort of turned me off.
It's IC, hospice reports, Dictaphone ExText. Nice lady, but

Deb at Freedom Type is an upstanding lady. You wouldn't go wrong

I talked to the insurance lady too (she is very nice) and was told the same thing. sm
I called the office and talked to a high-up manager who said that they haven't said anything because they do not have anything in writing and do not want to give information and have it be wrong.
The premium for employee only is $404 per month and KS is paying $202. This is much better than I had at another company that I do not want bash as this was the only issue I had.
I love it at KS because I have plenty of work and everyone in the office is so nice. My lead changed positions in the company a few months ago and my new lead is very nice and more organized. I have been there 11 months (this time) and was there a year before that in 2005-6. I made the mistake of thinking that the grass was greener but it wasn't!
Years ago I knew a completely blind lady who worked for Medware (nm)

I remember some posts at the beginning of the year from a lady who didn't get paid - she was stea
I think a lot of the high $$ MTs
produce the lines, but not necessarily the quality. I know lots of MTs who never do any type of proofing before submitting work. I used to work with one high producer, but the quality of her work was horrible. This was several years ago and no spellchecker and no QA. She would never survive in this business now with the error rate she had.
I'm sure there are some quality MTs that can also produce a huge amount of lines because they learn to work smarter and can type like a demon.
you ARE on the high end of
the pay scale and congrads to you!
It is NOT high ESL, no more than
nm
High ESL
I just want to point out that being a Transcriptionist should include learning to deal with ESL dictation. Obviously you should be compensated fairly for that, but the truth is being able to decipher different dictation is what makes us more valuable than a machine.
VERY HIGH ESL when I was there . . .
I struggled to make counts because the dictators were so difficult. I have a lot of experience with ESL, too. I liked her thought she was very nice, but struggled really bad with the ESL load.
high and dry?
What do you mean by high and dry. I know for a fact that you have a lead for this account, a coordinator, LOTS of samples, QA people who are available every shift - and very helpful. That doesn't even make sense. You sound like a disgruntled individual.
DRC Insurance very high - sm
I was offered a position with DRC and would have taken it, but family health insurance coverage was something like $900 a month! There is no way I could pay that much and I needed the benefits.
Jo, I think you're going to be all right. You have a high sm
QA score and you are increasing your production consistently on a weekly basis. It takes such a long time for an MT to be able to sit down and transcribe whatever comes through the queue and make good money. This is very tough work, and we all learn every day. You have what sounds like great work habits, terrific quality, and a wonderful attitude. You'll do fine.
If you are a high producer (400+ lph) do you have to
even after you make your line count at Spheris?
She used to pay by the page and not very high. Don't know about now. nm

I have their insurance now and it is rather high...however, (sm)
they are in the process of changing their benefits package so I'm hoping for something with a lower rate. I have single coverage and pay about $400 a month currently. I'm kind of waiting to see how much the new insurance is going to be.
There is insurance. Some consider it too high but they are getting sm
new insurance that is supposed to be lower in cost but better coverage.
I have the insurance they offer now, which is Unicare, and have no problems with it. I took out the family plan, which cost me $610 a month, but the insurance through my DH's company would have been over $800, so I am not complaining.
Seems to be about right. Not high, but normal. Thx! nm

High turnover.......
I live in New Jersey and this is a not a good company to work for....read the old posts about this company in the Archives. Not a good company....
Very high turnover....
They always keep running the same ad every 3 weeks or so, so that should tell you something about them. I did not like testing for them at all, so I just gave up! Horrible dictators.
