I also found that remark uncalled for
Posted By: QA on 2008-10-01
In Reply to: what a nasty shot at QA people - QAer
It is my personal opinion that QA is essential. On the very rare occasions I receive a comment from QA, it is accepted by me wholeheartedly and I put in the extra effort to be more attentive to what I'm doing.
I feel a lot of MTs have it in their mindset that are inferior to QA. Then there are others who absolutely cannot take constructive criticism well and get on the defense if an error is found. These are both wrong attitudes. QA is just another set of ears to help out.

Now that was uncalled for...
I have not had the first personality problem with anyone at QT. Everyone is always courteous...well, there is one, but it is not the owner (s), there is a QA person who can be abrasive...anyway your comment does not fit in with my original question or the discussion concerning where QT is, just sour grapes.
That's uncalled for...
I've only been reading these boards for a little while, but I've quickly realized that this is NOT the place to come looking for support or sympathy. As a newbie I wouldn't dare post after reading the attacks on other newbies. Why is everyone so angry?
That was rude and uncalled for!! nm

Not uncalled for - just means sm
If the person had problems there, maybe they were wrong for the company. Just like MTs are picky about companies, companies have a right to be picky with MTs. To many of us forget that we are MTs plain and simple, we are not the boss, our job is to do our work - not analyze everyone else as to whether they are doing their job the way we would if we were in their shoes. The more we just shut up and type, the more happy we will be because we will make more $$ and will be treated better. I say this from experience, not because I'm being uncalled for.
Totally uncalled for
Well, I think you do mean to be nasty and rude. Why the heck else would you post a comment like that?  Let me guess your next post will inform us all how you type 900 lines per hour. I cannot believe that people like you have to post such rude statements to puff yourself up!
That was exceptionally rude and uncalled for!
But probably true! Though from the work I've seen from MTs left at the Evil Q, maybe not! That's why there are still folks left in the cult, isn't it? No one else will have you. Sad...
LOL! Liked the "criticism" remark! nm
That is a prejudicial remark.
Substitute the word African American, Asian, Hispanic, etc., in there and see how wrong that sounds. Why do you need to be so insensitive. This is a public forum. Let's quit stereotyping people according to appearance. Saying that is a blonde remark clearly strikes me as totally uncalled for.
There was absolutely NO need for such a remark!...sm
Just because *you* can't accomplish that does NOT make it untruthful.
Perhaps instead of bashing an MT who has spent her life and career learning as she went along to achieve these goals, you might better spend your time finding ways to increase your lph and educating yourself for furthering your career.
I am not the OP; however, this type of line count is totally doable! It takes patience, time, and, most of all, a continuing willingness to learn new terms and then RETENTION of those terms.
As I have progressed through my MT career, when I have happened upon a new term I have made note of it on sticky notes around my workspace. There are always terms/medications are new. Instead of looking them up over and over, I found that the sticky notes provided a quick reference.
The next thing one must do is take full advantage of an Expander file. As I have made new entries, I have kept track of those on notes, as well, until they were committed to memory.
It helps to have the ear and it also helps to stay completely focused on your job during the time frame in which you are required to work, with hour to hour-and-a-half quick breaks to get up and stretch and a quick getaway from your work. Sitting for too long can not only bring on lethargy, but also decreases one's concentration and focus.
Learning to transcribe new dialects, a very real factor in today's transcription, should not cause one to whine, but rather to get in there and transcribe the report then take note of QA feedback.
With this ever-changing field, one must be willing to learn, learn, learn and develop new tricks to increase one's productivity - instead of calling another MT who has obviously achieved a high amount of production over her career a liar! Shame on you - you're a sister/brother MT and this was totally unnecessary and disrespectful!
janitor remark
Are you serious? My husband worked as a janitor in the post office for the past year. He had to in order to get into the position he wanted. He laughed at your post. That would like me getting angry at someone for calling me a typist.
There was nothing snide or condescending in her remark.
If you're that hypersensitive, please seek help for your disorder instead of reading between the lines and trying to censor other people.
That was NOT a nice or an encouraging remark.

Posting such a nasty remark --
is offensive to those of us who have alcoholics in our family. My youngest daughter has a drinking problem but has been sober for 3 years. I don't know what this person said, but she must have been right on the money for you to be so rude. I will say a prayer for you but I hope you rot in hell!
The above post proves my point! You are out of line and that was uncalled for..sm
not to mention utterly ridiculous to even read. Why are you reaching so high to make this MT look bad because she doesn't want to work a weekend? Get over it already. The OP obviously has a life, some of us do! Maybe it's time you get one!
I would never even apply for a job with that pay - your snide remark no warranted! nm

Now, as a chiuaua herder I resemble that remark
and it ain't as easy as some people make it out to be either. Although, I really should get into baby brokerin' instead.
Sorry, I haven't slept since this time last night. Being on-call and sleep deprived kinda makes me lose my internal edit button. 
Only person I saw spewing venom was you. Such personal attacks are uncalled for. nm
This is what I have found while looking for the right job - sm
I have one child still at home who will be going off to Kindergarten in a couple of years. I do not want to put my child in day care, so I need a job that provides an adequate window to be able to finish my work. I do 1000 lines per day, 5 days a week. I know that isn't a lot, but with a child at home with me during the day, that's the most I can do at this time. I have yet to find a company who will allow you to have employee status and flexibility with your schedule. Yes, you can generally pick your own schedule with most companies, but I just cannot say that I will be able to finish my work within an 8-hour period of time. That is why I am looking into FN at this time.
To each his own. I have found in all my
years of working at home that what one MT thinks is great, another thinks is not so great. The opinions of the company that I stated are my experience. It could be mine only. I am only trying to help.
Found it! (nm)

I found

I was not impressed, it took a long time to learn, and the training the pits.
OK, I found it
Thanks I will check that out!
I found some...
I finally found some fairly current posting about OSI. I had to go back to page 20 or so. However, if anyone wants to add anything new, I would love to read about it. Thanks.
What I found -
Most accounts have plenty of horrible ESL docs. There is also lack of work on a very regular basis. Pay is on time and seems to be correct. Communication, when there is any, is often rude, stinging, and nasty for no reason whatsoever other than *someone* is having a bad day. You decide for yourself.
Found it!!
Never mind, unless someone has updated information. I just did a search and found past posts on this company.
That's what I found odd..It was never really an ad..
It really was just someone on the job seeker's board, a Baspen or something saying that some company had contacted her about a traveling job and she was passing on the information. So, no company ever came and did an ad themselves, just supposedly an MT with information. The next thing you know, she is saying the position is filled Now, if she was only just an MT who was asked about a job she didn't want, what is her angle advertising on here for them. I found it odd and thinks this person solicited resumes for whatever reason. I am not sure why it was even allowed on the job board as I do not feel it was very legit.
Thanks! Found it.
I have to buy it. Thought someone could tell me how to delete words/lines at a time, etc.
Let me tell you what I have found about VR
I am on VR and thankful, very thankful a lot of the ESLs on there - the reason is their dictation actually comes out better on VR than hearing yourself. If they have a medication VR is really able to get in a way I never could have imagined. I would not worry about VR being able to get their voices- what I think will probably happen in your job is any and all dictators probably going to VR and then the money for transcribing drops, tremendously. A lot of places trying to do away with straight (the nationals) and get VR.
I have found it
by just typing in MD-IT Transcrip;ton Service. Their website came up.
Found it, is this it?
The company I have been working for for about a year decided they were not going to pay this pay period because they claimed they did not get paid because of bad transcriptions and they were looking to see who were behind the bad transcriptions and then pay next pay period, which is a month after the work is completed as it is. Also, the work has been under 100% QA, so how could there be bad transcriptions still getting through? Does anyone know if there are legal remedies, as they owe me three paydays if they decide to not pay me.
Think I found it
Do they hire employee or just IC?
I think I found it! Thanks!
I founds some discussion.
We only found out...sm
...in December. I'm sure the whole thing had been going on for a while, but they didn't tell us MTs until December and gave us about 2-3 weeks' notice. The conference calls were very helpful and informative, however. Made the whole process easire. My TL would always send us emails letting us know what was going on and what to expect...which was not much change from what we were doing already, except for how we report our time/lines. I just wish we didn't have to fill out all that paperwork again (W-4, I-9, etc.). The HIPPA and Transcend-specific paperwork I understand, but the others I wish would have just been transferred over. I'm not privy to how that process works, so I just do what I'm instructed to do.
Not sure about the not sending work to India thing. I believe that Transcend does send work overseas, but it's a small percentage from what they told us.
found it. thank you so much. nm

After 26 yr doing this I have found..
that if a co is paying this way, they are not paying well... the better companies are up front and do it by 65 char line.. no confusin formulas :)
wish I could have found you when sm
I was hiring MTs several years ago!
I would think by now you would have found another job.
Wasting time complaining here.
Here is what I found on ANP ....
I don't know this company and have not seen an ad posted for them, however, when I goggled them I found these 2 sites that are extremely alarming for anyone that would want to apply with them ....
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/334/RipOff0334462.htm
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/173/RipOff0173596.htm
While these reports are older, it does send up warning flags, in my opinion.
found a little more...
I would recommend, once again, just using the words of: 'company name' acquisition 'company name'

I think I found it but....
It is for sales not for a transcriptionist.
... I found myself a new job NOT MT, but
I probably wouldn't trust the offer you just threw out there. Cynical MT that I am! It looks like something I'd see on a telephone pole (and used to see, make $30,000 in your spare time doing medical transcription!
No offense, just how it struck me.
The only link I found
http://www.webnow.com/stattransinc
I found a macro to do this for you.
This is the link to the entire discussion and the macro for Word, but since there are several macros to do it, you can go and copy it and decide which one you want.

never mind, I found them on the sm
internet. They are in Abbeville SC. I have sent for information on their company. I am going to check it out. Thanks for the tip.
Where can this statement be found?
t
I found some stuff, but nothing really about -sm
their flexibility. I may leave an IC job to become an employee and I am really worried about it, not sure that I can do this with 1 child still at home (3-year-old boy). I know there is a BIG difference between IC and employee status. I just don't want to stress myself out too much on a day-to-day basis. By the way, I'm not the OP. I think I will pass though. Flexibility is extremely important to me, at least until my youngest goes to Kindergarten.
Nevermind. Found out they do not. Ah well.

I found a few comments...
from 2005 by using the Search function up above with Chase Transcription...those comments didn't look particularly encouraging so would be interested to hear any current opinions, too. Don't remember for sure, but there may have been some comments a few pages back, will have to do a search page by page forthose since not archived.
