How am I wrong? You pick apart the poster's message without looking at content. sm

It would seem it is an appropriate moniker for you to use, because you certainly do not seem to be a human.

Your message is too mixed. Either you want to know the good, or you want to know the negative. Pick
one topic and maybe you'll get more informative responses. Otherwise, you're just setting the stage for more battle by your wording, and everyone is just tired of fighting right now.
Then the above poster is wrong? Guess I'm confused again. nm

The other poster is wrong -- Bayscribe does NOT stink. sm

I was one of those brought in from the stone age, dragging my heels, kicking and screaming, when I had to give up my beloved WP51 a few years ago when they implemented the Bayscribe platform, but in all honesty, it is generally a great platform.  I was a PRD+ user before, and their expander emulates that (I think it can emulate others too, but not sure).  I averaged 300 lines per hour using Bayscribe and never felt that it hindered me.  You just have to get used to learning something new, like any other platform.  Their spellchecker could be better, but that is only a minor irritation.


I wouldn't walk away from a great-paying job with great accounts simply because of fear of adjusting to something new.   I'm sure you'll be very happy if you go with MDI-MD.


Why personally attack this poster? That is just plain wrong.
Every post I read by her is good-natured. The only people taking things wrong are the ones listening to the green-eyed monster. IMHO.
Same exact message a few weeks ago and poster is the manager trying to recruit.
Which is fine but you should really try to keep posting as the one person you are CMT-me. You make it appear that you have employees recommending you when in fact you are the one that is doing your own recruiting but you should not pose as another employee.
After getting in touch with ILHIMA and getting a copy, it was proven that the poster was wrong. sm
There are no spelling errors in the ad.

This person was trying to stir the pot for no reason and had people upset, thinking that an ad was run without sending it to KS for proofing.


God forbid the poor poster made a mistake by posting on the wrong board!! Good grief!
nm
if you had to pick one; medscribe or CyMed .. who and why would you pick em? considering both
xxxx
it's not your content, it's theirs. obviously
ya gotta let QA know if there's wrong info but on verbatim accounts, that is what it means.

you're not giving good patient care, the docs are. you keep covering for them like that and you'll always be the one griping like you are about it.
Content at OSI
I think there are ups and downs with every job, and there will be some people with bad experiences with axes to grind. I think my coordinator does an excellent job at keeping the work flowing. I've always had plenty of work and now OT. Never a problem with pay, and I believe the pay scale is adequate. They are doing a good job with communication, but it's not overly saturated with emails and IMs. I love having an update 3 or 4 times a day on ther different accounts I type. Besides everyone I have had dealings with has been pleasant and personable. No folks with agendas or bitter people that I have come into contact with, as with other jobs I have had.
Thanks, Medical Content Specialist:)!

Most of the truthful posts were deleted for content

Just paste it and let it go. They're looking for content, not format, when ....sm
...the resume is sent via a web contact form. If you are a good MT with good qualifications, they won't care how it's set up, but do make sure words are spelled correctly. That's a huge bugaboo when I read resumes.
Read the content of the website and you'll see the Phillipine association. nm

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
How can a message be confidential if it posted on a public message board? nm

You are wrong! Here is the ad. I got it too. There are no words spelled wrong and the caps are pa

just trying to help.


ps. if the money is there, why does that particular person's balance say zero?


Take your pick..lol.
I was wondering, was Proscript the place that did not pay for macros? There was 1 company I worked for that had loads of macros but you did not get paid for them.
And they pick up dog-poo, too.

Can you pick up?
I am still in the hiring process but very hopeful. I live within 3 miles of the JLG office, does anyone know if they allow employees to pick up their checks from the office? This would not be a deal breaker for me because I would just be grateful to work for them, but it is a concern nonetheless especially because I bank out of state.
You cannot pick and choose
I don't know how you think you can pick and choose. You get the jobs assigned to you by the queue managers. You cannot even see what jobs are available.

SS has been a terrific company for me. I too stick to schedule but at times have to flex because of kids, etc. and they do not have a problem with that from time to time.

you can pick from 3 different shifts
10-6, 11-7 or 12-8 and I believe you have to work Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs. You type and get paid hourly, but you have to do a minimum of 1000 lines a day. That's about it in a nutshell.
They paid to have UPS come pick up
the equipment, but they ignored numerous emails from me and I then got a threatening letter about suing me for not returning their equipment. There was a delay in the final pay. No exit interview. I was civilized, however, A was not.
This is why MTs "cherry-pick"! nm
S
the one I was on, you had to pick from the unassigned ones

What do you mean by pick from the unassigned ones? nm

KS does not pick the platforms...
that the facilities they contract with use. Those platforms and their requirements, like ULLD, are almost always in place when KS contracts with them. I hear MTs get upset about C-phones and why any MTSO would use them but the MTSO is going with what the facility wants/has been using. These platforms are network-wide for some very large health networks sometimes, and they can be reluctant to pull the plug on one that has served them well for sometimes a very long time...not to mention the costs involved.
WILL BE ABLE TO CHERRY-PICK - sm

to your heart's content, if that's your choice and you are fortunate enough to get the kind of Lead job where you have control of work flow & distribution, as they do in my company.  As bad as the Q may have been in some important areas, I always got my lines.  Work was allowed to self-distribute naturally ...THE NEXT FREE MT GOT THE NEXT AVAILABLE JOB.  We had 1 supervisor, not 2 dozen people we had to answer to, as today's top-heavys. 


But as long as the same person who assigns/distributes the work (Leads) also types on the accounts & has FIRST CHOICE of jobs -- well, where does leave the rest of us??  With 101% $---t, that's what!  That and being salaried, too!  I'd be a Lead for HALF of the little they're paying us now and I bet I'd get more done if the playing field between Leads and peon MTs were evened out a little.


so pick up your own accounts, get 5 sm
people and see how well you do. The headache of listening to whining, complaining MTs is not worth it! Granted there are MTSOs making tons of money and yes some are scr****g their employees/ICs. But, if you think running a business and putting up with all of it is a piece of cake, you are sadly mistaken!
If you pick one up and notice it's VR, is it

Hopefully the speed will pick-up
a part-time job to cover that lull.  Crying here and not to be unkind is really not going to help your situation.  We can give you a big ole awwwww, but that's not going to help.  Get a part-time job.
You all need to pick up some Feen-A-Mint
nm
you definitely wanna pick TransHealth
constant workflow. Good accounts. Good pay. GOOD PEOPLE.
....pick up the slack and keep TAT in check! nm
x
Pick up the phone and call
x
Yes it will be a threat. It will just pick up these sounds of
chewing and make words out of them. Yep.
If you could pick between OSi and TransTech, which would you choose? nm
x
Decision made on who to pick!
After reading all the feedback, I decided to go with Keystrokes.  MQ just seems to iffy with work compared to Keystrokes, who certainly has some good feedback from fellow MTs. 
If your question is can you cherry pick
Your queue is preset for your work types and they come in according to TAT. You can't pick and choose what you want to type. That is established beforehand.
So do they cherry pick at Transtech?
nm
Transform or Accustat, which would you pick to go for
I am undecided.
Inviting new members, maybe it will pick up
Everybody is scrambling for lines because its slim pickings now, afraid to spend time in the group for fear of losing a job to type. JMO.
When will work pick back up? nm
x
Which would you pick. Just wanting advice, and different

points of view:


FutureNet, E-Transplus, or MDI.


Perhaps a combination of 2 of the above? Any advice welcome. Having to decide. Thanks in advance.


 


DON'T pick Superior Global...
Superior Global has bad uneducated QAs, bad team leaders, horrible!  They had one great team leader (started with a J), but she resigned and it has gone downhill ever since.  They offer incentives once in awhile and then forget they offered them.  No bonuses for anything.  Just poorly ran.  On the plus side if you aren't meeting production, they don't really care, very disorganized and they can't remember any schedules so it can be pretty flexible.  They also don't have direct deposit, so you have to wait for your paper check.
I pick and choose what I take from this board

I first started coming here about 6 years ago when I started going to school for MT.  The posts almost made me give up before I had even finished.  I was sure I would never find a job and that I made a horrid mistake, but because I had already paid for the classes I decided to continue, and found a job 2 months before I ever graduated.  I have been working for 5 years now, and have never been without job, and I make a very good line rate with an awesome company.  I like coming to this board and looking around since I don't really have a relationship with co-workers in this business, it is nice to see what others are thinking, but for the most part I take everything with a grain of salt. 


 


But what happened to you about the recruiter is pretty horrid.  I can't believe somebody would do such a hateful thing, but in the end they may have done you a favor, I don't think I would have wanted to work for a company that was so rude and unprofessional. 


Positions are IC, you pick your hours.
 
You haven't seen 'me' pick at anyone. I don't know who
you think I am, but 'sm' just means 'see message', and everyone uses it...
I agree, who wants to constantly nit-pick with the QA, tit-for-tat!...
'The less contact one has with the QA person the better, believe me, stay 'invisible' as much as you can.
