My team leader is the best. She
keeps us informed, always available, and provides more help than any company I have ever worked for.
Are you a team leader? NM
You have a decent team leader.
Mine is not that great and is not flexible.
I followed my MedWare ER team leader
She's awesome and I have enjoyed working for her, and she started about a month ago at MedScribe (Jax, FL). MedScribe has been good, plenty of ER work plus the pay is a little higher, plus I still have PS for a team leader.
You should report that team leader to M.L.
I'm sure that he would take care of that. They are having a hard enough time getting MTs. They certainly don't need a TL who is running them off.
If MTs could trust their team leader or the supervisors
enough to talk to them without getting fired, there would be no posts on here, but you cannot say 1 thing without getting into trouble or getting fired. These boards are only used for venting because we have no other place to go. Deb is a monster so don't even try to talk to her. Team leaders are arrogant and only there to collect a paycheck, not in it to help anyone but themselves. They think they have been elevated to the position of CEO.
How is the trainer, team leader or regional mgr
They've already said that it could be months, maybe even into next year, before all the problems can be fixed. Why would the team leaders or trainers have answers that the technical team doesn't even have, and if they do, why haven't they fixed it for everyone??
Nasty team leader, nit-picky QA, sm
mounds of account specifics and company instructions and I mean 7 binders each 3 inches thick , constant busy signals dialing in to get work, slow PC-company supplied, slow tech support, impossible to make line rate. Dock you big time for errors.
hmm..be careful of your confidence among such greed... who will the team leader be?

Too bad they got rid of Indian team leads. My US team lead is the worst.
opppss meant purple team, not red team.
Sorry, I meant the purple team.
signing
I would definitely tell them you do not feel comfortable signing this document. They are asking you to get out of your profession for the next year. Tell them I completely agree with signing on not to steal your clients but this is the occupation that I am trained to do and cannot leave this field for 12 months. I would definitley call the HR department and ask how is this fair to tell me I have to leave transcription when thats my job. HOw am i to make a living. See what they have to say. You may want to have a lawyer alter that paperwork so you can still collect your severance. Its worth a try.
Sorry to have said anything. Signing off now.. nm

Signing up
You can email me privately. I will not post information on this board and I am very careful which emails I reply to. Too many who are absolutely ecstatic about their company. I suspect these are the vast MINORITY or newbies just happy to have a work-at-home job.
Not at all. It is just for signing on to the account. sm
Once signed in, it is the same as any other account. It only takes about 2 seconds longer, literally, to sign in with one.
Yes, don't worry about signing in and out for every little break.

SIGNING CONTRACT REPORT QUOTA?
ANYONE SIGN A CONTRACT FOR REQUIRED REPORTS COMPLETED IN A DAY FOR FT? WORRIED I AM BITING OFF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW!
...and perhaps adding a statement to contract before signing
outlining course of action (fines, etc.)in the event. If they have a problem with that - well...
Why is it we do not have our own contracts to present to companies? Two areas of concern - guarenteed work and failure to pay.
digital signature - how are your doc signing or initialing their notes?
thanks for your reply.
Are your docs somehow signing off on the notes at some point in the process? and if so, how are they doing that?
After signing up for 3 jobs totalling 80 hours a week as well as sm
an IC job for a few more hours, I guess I'm all about change for the New Year! (ha) Obviously, I cannot (or at least do not want to) work that much forever, but I have goals, and since I don't see the Pretty Woman fairytale coming true for me or perhaps winning the lottery, the only way to accomplish them is through hard work. I believe we should change and constantly evolve into the best we can be, regardless of life situations and what beats us down. I also realize that is easy to say, not always easy to do.
I have been a medical Transcriptionist for over 30 years now, starting in high school with on-the-job training. I am thankful for having that inhouse experience with ladies who had been doing it forever and having the benefit of their ears to listen, not to mention their patience and caring and being willing to teach me and share their knowledge. Like many others, I have watched the benefits and wages go down in this field and have felt frustrated, hopeless, etc., but ultimately we are all the captains of our own destiny.
I do not think I have the patience for QA, and I applaud those of you who do it. To those of you who venture out and switch professions, I applaud you as well for your courage and determination. To those who are the sole support for a family depending on you, I give you my cudos as well. I am the only income for me and my doggie, and that is scary enough at times. I cannot imagine the pressure of having others depend on me as well.
This is ending up a bit rambling. I think I had a point when I started out. I suppose I just wanted to thank you for the positive post and encourage others and let them know they are not alone. Change is a part of life, but together perhaps we can all slog through it together.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Humans require a leader to guide us.
Or we can lead the pack...if we have leadership qualities recognized by our peers.
Sheesh!
Do you think the Administrator spends her time calling MTSOs to see if they offshore?!!
SHEESH...
call martha and ask her who the other people are
Exactly! Sheesh! NM...

What did you expect when Transcend, the leader in overstaffing, bought them?

and *experienced* Sheesh.

....sheesh! 'there'....nm

RU for real? sheesh......
.
My, my, having a bad morning? Sheesh.
I can't see what was so offensive about the first post.
Has nothing to do with favoritism - sheesh (sm)
I can only reiterate what the posters below me said. You pick the schedule, so you are expected to stick to it. Do I take short breaks? Of course I do. Do I ever have an appt that I can't make after work hours? Yes. I let them know as far in advance as I can. That's all they ask. If something comes up of an emergent nature, all you have to do is let them know. That's all they ask - I don't think that is unreasonable. They are running a business, and a very good one, I might add. They want to keep it that way. Flexibility is one thing, irresponsibility is another.
my thoughts exactly - sheesh !
nm
Sheesh! The BS never ends in this
business. I was told for sure that it was all accounts. What a surprise. Just another line. Doesn't this get tiresome? Thanks for clarifying. Guess they saw me coming. 
8 cpl for IC work? And I get to pay my own taxes too - sheesh nm
Do you know the definition of RUMOR? Sheesh!
You must be a riot at the laundromat! Yackety Yack! 
sheesh -- you're full of it.
capitalism is the best -- just look at the world around you. and there ARE plenty of honest businesses. if you are so disillusioned, go ahead and go live in another part of the world, and see how well you like it.
Sheesh, should have said, have people email you.

Then you are a line leader taking what you want to type, the rest of take what your leave, Give me
Nm
sorry about the typo... shoulda been careers... sheesh... NM

the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
Sheesh, that's awful. Glad I didn't waste my time testing, had a feeling....

I got a travel mug! I work at HOME. I drive 10 miles a week. I don't drink coffee. Sheesh! lo
nm
Well you are less than professional. Act like
one if you want a professional response. I am not who responded in the post you just responded to but you certainly are not acting like a professional.
That was a very professional
It is professional to do this
I believe you always should leave a company on good terms. Of course, on the other hand, if work is super low and they wouldn't feel the pinch if you left, I think less than 2 weeks would work. I had to do this at my last job. I gave them a week's notice because I just could not afford to work part time at a company where I was promised full time.
Professional Transcriptions
From Florida, any info from anyone on this company?
focus is not professional
I also work for Focus Infomatics, I mean worked. I have been working for months. They payvery poorly 6.5 cents per line. as compared to other companies, that is very low. Also they trick you into thinking it is a transcription job, then they tell you when you are trained, that you are going to be doing editing, without giving you a choice. I am very disappointed with them. I also thought they were good in the beginning. They are not very professional. I would not recommend this company to anyone who is looking for transcription work.
I would think you would know, pay should never be discussed with anyone - not very professional.
nm
I am not your honey...please be more professional (nm)

Professional tester SM
I feel like a professional tester. Tested for so many companies in the last six months I can't remember all of them - not one answer from any of them.
Just tested for Transcription1 and still have not heard from them either. Anybody have any info on this company?
Just my own professional belief sm
I personally do not think that anyone who is taught English as a second language could ever type or edit American English as well as American English-speaking people that are trained to do so unless he/she has solely devoted his/her life to mastering the craft. Granted, there are many, many Americans who do not use the language properly even a little bit, but these people typically do not become MTs either! I cannot imagine learning Russia as a second language, barely being able to articulate it, and then overseeing a born-and-raised Russian's grammar and punctuation skills. Just my personal opinion, of course. I'm sure there are exceptions...somewhere.
I thought she was professional.
I talked with a recruiter once who talked to me like I was her long lost friend... it was kind of distracting.
I like the way the DR recruiter conducted everything. She was professional and pleasant, but not overly friendly.
