It doesn't suck for everyone. There are plenty of platforms and companies out there; if you aren't happy, why don't you go find something more to your liking? I just get tired of one MT trashing a pretty good company over and over because they have an issue with 1-2 items.

How was the platform? Enterprise sucks
big time. E-mail said TransHealth had a good platform and they would take the best of both.
Sarah, I think their point is they are tired of hearing the
Your negativity resonates further and louder than you think.
These OPs are intelligent and just because you bellowing ominous warnings does not mean that everyone wants to hear them.
This industry is no different than any other - it is changing and evolving.
There will be 2 groups involved: Those who are happy and excited about changes because they are adaptable and are comfortable with change and those who will be left behind, bitter, unhappy, struggling, and allow their own perspective to be ruined by their own obstinance to change.
Please do not be one of the latter.
I'm just sayin' ...
There's 49 other states who are tired of hearing how expensive CA is. nm,

MQ has own board because we got tired of hearing the same repeated complaints about them on the

Tired of hearing that nurses work holidays because...sm
Nurse's in my area start pay at $63,000 per year. How many pennies a line do you making typing on Christmas Day?
One year I was forced to work on Thanksgiving and I sat there with no work. My family was in another town making memories and enriching their lives while I made 8 cents a line with no lines to type.
You are not a nurse and neither am I.
She's RIGHT - Refrain or Not
She's telling the TRUTH! The other MTs don't trash it because they probably need the benefits or because the people there ARE NICE and it's hard to keep griping about it, but she is accurate in stating that there are always problems with Enterprise. PERIOD.
No, you are not hearing concern. You are hearing that
MTs are not sheep to be led to the slaughter. I am a CMT. It is wrong to force CMT status. Even MTSO owners for the majority are not certified. What next for them? They will be required to be certified or they will not start a company and they will only hire CMTs? Don't you see where this is leading? Hell, you can choose to abort a baby in today's economy. You can't even choose not to be credentialed? A slippery and dangerous slope here to be sure.
I praise these MTs who are willing to stand up and not shut up. AHDI and MTIA are no friends of the MT community. It's time we shut them up...way past time.
No PTO, just TO. Sucks. Holidays off, no pay. Sucks. Otherwise, okay.

The Enterprise side uses Enterprise. nm
tired, tired, tired of all the tech
problems with these platforms. I just want to work on an old fashioned program, like WP5.1 or Medrite, maybe with voice wave. Too many problems. Does anybody know any companies that use something like these. Just call me a dinosaur lover.
Now that sucks and it says
right on the orchestral page (haha) that NO ONE got a pay cut with this plan. So I guess you got it by divine intervention? Huh?? You have my sympathy.
Man, that sucks! sm
I wish MTs had a forum where we could post all these companies so they don't get lost in the many threads here. I was burned too by an MTSO out of Ohio. 
One that really sucks...
Also, I always seem to get stuck on the clinic notes and those range from 6 lines per report to 25 lines. So that takes forever.
I just arranged to have daycare for my kids for 4 hours a day and now I cant even pay for that.
I have been in this for 10 years and it has changed so much since then. I am making less now than I was 10 years ago and I have all of this experience. I have to make this work for 2 more years until my son starts school and then I will be okay.
I guess I am just diappointed that they do not pay for quality and experience first and production second.
That sucks
because I'm having to work like 12 hours a day most days just to make enough to pay one or two bills. I really like working for them and everything though. I'm looking into Medical Coding schools now so maybe I can do one or the other, or both, and maybe make more money that way.
Oh - I see. Well, that sucks!! nm

it sucks
Yes, a whole penny or 2 might break these companies. They keep us at a low rate thinking that will encourage us to get on there more for OT and type more. I am afraid it it beginning to work the other way for me. I am furioius that I asked for a raise and they never even had the decency to get back with me to deny me any increase, after asking them twice. I guess its too embarrassing for them to say why they are so cheap and can't fork over a penny extra per line. If this economy was not so bad and there were actually jobs available I would be there now. I am sick of having to type every single moment of the hours to get paid. When all these other office workers and other kinds of workers get paid for just standing or sitting there is there is nothing for them to do. Nobody says lets count how many new accounts you have opened or how many groceries you put through your line and you get paid by each piece. I really miss the old days of working for a doctors office or clinic and getting paid by the hour and then getting OT if working OT. I remember times when the older women that I worked with were not as fast as me and they still got paid a decent hourly rate even if they weren't typing as fast. 8 cents a line is just spit. My company loses people everyday and they don't care. I would like to tell them its because of the pay. They would rather train a new person instead of keep someone that has been there for a year or two. I don't know what their thinking is. They just think, oh well, we'll jst get someone else.
AT&T Sucks lately
I have skeptiwebber, but later in the day it suddenly cleared up. I was on the phone with AT&T yesterday for about an hour, maybe with so many of us calling them they decided to do some checking and found the problem. We never had this problem with Bellsouth.
OMG that sucks
And why couldn't they have told us this MONTHS ago when they knew the account was changing to VR? A little warning would have been nice, to give people time to get their resumes polished up, etc. The timing is horrible too with all the MDI'ers looking for work, the job market's got to be really tough right now.
Good luck to all my former team-mates - maybe we'll meet again in a better place some day.
That sucks
So you are now working for 5.5 cpl for straight typing?
to "Sick of hearing it"
This stufff does NOT go on in all companies. I think the major problem here is with the QA person and the practices OSi has. It is not with other employees, because for the most part all of the OSI employees on most issues except those that are "brown noses" and by the way if you don't want to hear this stuff on here, dont come on this BOARD. Simple as that. "kiss-up,, kiss-up some more"
not hearing back
This is positively not true! When hired all MTs are told the process of hiring, and what the next step is. In the e-mail that is sent out by the office, the AA specifically outlines what the next step is. It takes a while to get IDs from some accounts, and people are informed about that from the very beginning when they are hired.
Please before you post get facts straight, and if someone has not been contacted, then they need to call the office and ask for the HR Director, she will contact the appropriate person to help with any problems.
I would be interested in hearing as well...(nm)

Also, the ones I am hearing back from are
to start, and many not paying for spaces or anything. It seems like the more a company wants from you, the less they want to pay, I've noticed. If they have a bunch of restrictions in their ads, you can bet they pay crap.
What's up with that?? One ad stated no this, no that, must do this, must do that, must have this, must have that, must purchase this, must purchase that. Then I finally heard from them, tested with them, and after all this and that, they were offering 6 cpl. Yeah, right! lol
Know what I told them? I told them that I believed my 17+ years of experience were worth a whole lot more than 6 cpl, but good luck in their search.
hearing loss
Because of recent events, I am pretty sure I have developed some tone deafness. I am going to have it checked out, of course, but feel frightened about my future as an MT. I'm not young! Wondering if anyone else has faced this and what happened. Is there special equipment we can use, etc.?
hearing problem!!
I have developed a bit of a hearing problem and finding it hard to distinguish sound-alikes. I was wondering if anyone works with a hearing problem or uses some sort of hearing device and what kind, where to find it, etc. I'm more than a little worried here.
hearing problem
Don't give up yet. Ditch the transcriptionist-type headphones and get some good stereo headphones or even a cheap pair from big lots. The difference in hearing will amaze you. They all vary immensely. I don't have a hearing problem but did have an external noise problem with a now-ex-husband and Aiwa Noise Cancelling headphones made the marriage last an extra year. Now I go to Big Lots and experiment with alternative, smaller, lighter, any kind of headsets and have found some really great quality headphones for about $1 to $2. They may not last long but who cares. You will never go back to Transcriptionist headsets. I still use the Aiwa headset for dictators that whisper. Got those on ebay for $20.
Hearing back from
You will get a call from them if you pass the test. Otherwise you will not hear anything. That is what I was told by them. Supposedly many happy MTs there despite the very low pay.
I LOVED hearing this!
And I love the idea of people being made to pay for their own foolishness and cheapness! Serves him right!
But, what makes VR seem like a good idea is that when it does not need to be on constant life support and works just a LITTLE better, an employer still gets our expertise as editors for a fraction of what we used to be paid as MTs. And many of us believe the propaganda put out by our MTSO that, sure we'll take a 50% or more cut in pay, but be able to do 3 times as many lines, so the switch will be a GOOD thing and bring us more money. They have to try to sell us on the win/win scenario because otherwise nobody would give it a chance.
Not hearing from supervisor
I do not hear from my supervisor unless she has made a change to the account specs and is letting me know about it or if she needs me to switch accounts. I like to be left alone so I can do my work.
hearing test?
I'm deaf in one ear all my life. I've been an MT for 25 years, have never had any problems except the kind every MT has when there's static, crackling, background clanging, etc. I've never had to take a hearing test for a hospital job or one for a national. I've had a couple of hearing tests on my own but I have sensorineural loss and a hearing aid doesn't help. I just always wanted to be able to listen to music via stereo but I'll always be monaural--music still sounds great to me.
Enterprise. NM
x
As far as I know they are Enterprise
All my accounts are Enterprise, and my supe mentioned the new accounts, so I assumed these were.
Enterprise
I like it much better than ChartMatrix. I was asked to help out on ChartMatrix from time to time and Enterprise is easier to work with.
I think it sucks and is not very user
I will never work on Meditech again, but to each their own. Good luck to you.
Lanier sucks
I really really hate this company. The hospital I was working in with them to get out of the old DOS platform. It took them several weeks to get it up and running, and I use the word running loosely. Most of us worked at home and they could NOT get the home employees up and running. We had so many service calls it got to the point they were telling us we had no more calls per contract. The system couldn't count lines either. It ended up with the employees having to come back in-house to work and because of the lack of ability to count, the bonuses were gone which averaged 1500.00 a month. A 65,000 a year job GONE because of those goofs.
TRANSCEND SUCKS!!!!...sm
Transcend has turned into one of those companies that do not give a crap about their employees anymore. They just put us on VR and then cut our pay by 40% but did not bother to tell us about the pay cut until yesterday, which is 12 days after the pay period began, but the pay cut started on August 1st, which means if you were planning on getting paid 7 cents per line for all lines typed from August 1st to August 12th, then that is just too bad. I guess we have to figure it out. Maybe I can call my bank and ask them to cut my mortgage by 40% this month since my employer cut my pay by 40% with absolutely no notice. They are so full of crap. They have people quitting left and right. I know of at least 3 MTs who have had to get 2nd jobs because they NEVER, EVER, EVER have enough work to go around. I had to bust my butt to get the few lines I can get by working at 2, 3, even 4 a.m. because that is the only time there is enough work to work for a couple of hours straight without running out. I used to be one of those MTs telling everyone how great Transcend was. What a fool I was!! They really got me this time. I know that these National companies are generally dirty, but I NEVER, EVER though that were this dirty. They just went from being one of the best companies to work for to one of the worst in a matter of a few months. One more thing, they just switched to this new platform called which is for transcribing and VR, and it SUCKS!!! It is not user friendly and has all kind of problems with it. Now is definitely not the time to sign on with Transcend, and TRUST ME, if you do, you will SOON regret it. TRANSCEND SUCKS!!
I work there. It sucks. nm

Future Net sucks....SM
No direct deposit, no benefits, minimal weekend incentive and now NO WORK. I can't put up with it anymore and I'm out of there......If you are looking for a good job, this is not the one.
That sucks...all I can say is hang in there...
Things should pick back up this week, especially with Spring Break being over with..
I quit - VR sucks!
I quit Transcend. The people are nice but the work is ridiculous. Its very little pay for sometimes having to rework the whole report. I had about 60/40 when I started and when I left several months later I was 95/5. I tried to ask for accounts that were type only and I also mentioned about several doctors that shouldn't be on VR who gave me good lines and had good normals they used as well. They had accents and VR would mess them all up. It was easier to type the whole 10 minute or more report myself and faster too... but the pay was half because they sent those doctors to VR. The people who work there laugh about the funny things VR puts but to me its not funny... its insulting that they give us that kind of work and not pay us anything. I left there for a company I am in love with who only does straight transcription and not VR at all and I am making more than I did at Transcend and not having to hate my job.
Medscribe sucks
don't sweat it, they've done you guys a favor. Bad sound quality, tons of ESL, really rude, unprofessional people.
when you try to help, don't just saysomething sucks
Now you're on YOUR own :)
Emdat Sucks!
No matter how you look at it and no matter how you try to improvise, it sucks. I worked for one company and grossed 300 lines per hour. I went over to the Emdat platform and I'm lucky if I get in 125 lines in an hour. It takes me 10 hours a day to get in 700 lines. Worst platform ever invented! Should be abolished!
Hurley sucks too...
nm
It honestly sucks... but
you are going to have to learn it. At some point, the companies that do not do it will be forced to because these other companies can offer a lower rate.
I hate it too. But there are things you can do to build speed and earn close to what you were. Give it time, first of all, but ask for help... get a mentor, learn that program inside and out. It has become part of our job description.
cause I am sooo sick of hearing (sm)
whining and griping and complaining about the same old same old!!! That's why! And if it agitates YOU to think about finding another flippin' job, then so what! I really don't care! I say, if your job stresses you out this much, it is very easy to look elsewhere. There are only TONS and TONS of other places to work, so...find another J-O-B! Simple as that! And quit yer whining, why don't cha? 
Anyone else sending out resumes and hearing nothing?
I have 16 years in the business and 4-5 years editing experience, but am just not hearing back from companies advertising on the boards. Maybe they are receiving 100s of resumes...or is it just me? Anyone know of a company looking for an editor, please email me. Thanks!
And they are giving me hearing loss
their cell phones go off, they are right next to the dictating phones and they do not know whether to answer or call back, you can tell they are picking them up and looking because you are getting an ah, ah, ah and then leaving something electronic close to the phone because all of a sudden we have this horrible loud screech in your ears. My hearing is sensitive!
so sick of hearing that excuse
Heard this for YEARS from KS. My gosh, how many staffing changes and recent growth is a company gonna have? That is always the excuse when there is a problem at KS. News flash..... we know KS is not perfect. it is obvious!
Try a Boostaroo. I am hard of hearing and that little
you plug in your earphones, then plug the earphones into it. It boosts volume 50%.
oh get over yourself. sick of hearing your rants.
