They are hiring because they have a lot of openings and must not realize that you do not have work.

I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
I believe she said the account manager, someone at her work
I thought I read that the OP said that the person at her work was getting angry with people asking questions. That's who I meant.
No mention of selling, just that they won't have work for for me

I work at Focus and still have an Indian manager
.
I am disappointed too, but then again, the new operations manager used to work sm
at Medquist, so obviously outsourcing would not be something unfamiliar to him. I have worked with them for over a year, and I truly believed the family thing that was pushed, but it does not have that feeling anymore. I need to talk to Tonya, but my gut feeling is to walk away, just scrape it off like something bad on my shoe and move on.
I'm sure you can find something else. The great thing about this industry is you can always find another job. It may not be ideal and exactly what you want at the time, but something to get by until the right one comes along.
Good luck! 
I think I work for the comp. with an M that you mention but they are the ones I made more with than
I had previously at another job..huh?? I do notice a discrepancy in accounts. On one account, I get a great line but when I tried another one of their accounts I was not making the same..not even close. I questioned it and was told that the way it is counted is per the hospital/client's contract and they set the rules. So, I just assumed that that facility got a contract that paid for less things than my main account. You can email me privately if you'd like to compare accounts. Trust me, I wont share with anyone. I have had more than my share of issues with this company and am seeking to move on. Good line count or not, sometimes it is just not worth it.
Funny how no mention is made of this when there is no work, which has been the case for much of the
There has been no mention of this for months because of no work/low work for months now.
Today might be a good to apply since there is work today.
We have had plenty of work for the past 3 days, and now getting emails to work schedule to completion and get required lines or more!
You say you work for Webmedx, but in what capacity? MT? Recruiter? Manager? I am guessing not an

Oh, I forgot to mention....must be flexible and have all day to devote to waiting for work.
The work fluctuates too much. Feast or famine there.
Sorry I forgot to mention I work for Keystrokes..never worked for Medscribe (nm)

The above post is the most inconsiderate, cold-hearted, not to mention ignorant piece of work I'
Do you even have a clue as to how much one cycle of IVF costs? Try 15K to 20K and it takes on average three cycles to achieve conception...if at all. How many people do you know wait until they have $20,000.00 saved before starting a family? Get real.
Not that it's any of your business, having a child was not a mental issue for me. I initially didn't feel that it would be necessary to share the details of what led up to our infertility because I didn't see the relevance. Infertility is what it is. However, if sharing the details will prevent you or anyone else from drawing conclusions and posting abrasive half-truths, then here goes:
My husband, against my wishes, had a vasectomy when our only daughter was 3. Coming from a big family, I always wanted at least two children. Long story short: We went to Texas for the first reversal and Arizona for the 2nd (5 years ago). We spent our entire savings, which was close to 20k and both surgeries failed. My daughter prayed for a baby brother or sister every night. I had this tremendous burden of guilt because our infertility was self-inflicted. I knew she would never be a big sister or even an aunt because of our selfishness.
Infertility in and of itself is traumatic enough, but when it's self-inflicted, the guilt can be overwhelming. At least it was for me.
There, now you have the facts. However, if you find it more entertaining to post over-the-top fabrications about my complete lack of control and severe mental issues, as you called it, knock yourself out.
I have been pretty honest about my personal life and would appreciate it if you could just answer 2 simple questions.
(1) Dou have any children?
(2) In your opinion, do you feel that insurance companies should cover the cost of elective abortions?
You can just answer yes or no. I'm not posting anymore on this thread so you won't get any arguments from me.
I know I made over $60K as a QA manager. An MT manager
I am told is less money but definitely NOT as low as $36,500. I would not do it for $36,500.
The majority that I hear and see (and many are not advertised) are around $45K. You are giving yourself away for that. You might be working for a company that I received an offer from at one time. Great people but could not afford to work for that kind of money. Way too low to be on call 24/7.
Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
Former QA Manager
your "former nurse" is inaccurate. This person was a great manager. She was a valuable assest to the dept. in that position. Any company would be lucky to have her.
As a former QA Manager....
I often said, only slightly in jest, that a full psychiatric eval would be a total GODSEND. Unless you've been on the receiving end of MTs who can't accept that diagnosing an 83-year-old female patient with AIDS (dictated "of advanced age"), is WRONG, then....welll.... (She claimed that she knew as much as ANY doctor, so who was I to suggest that she was wrong?)
And then there's the MT who believed that it was her first amendment right to transcribe whatever she liked because, dangnabit, she was a doctor in a 3rd world foreign country in a former lifetime...and threatened lawsuits because she was smarter than ANYONE else, so couldn't be touched by anything with white genetics...
Believe me. Psych tests aren't a bad idea.
No, not the manager.
Those were the responses I got when I asked about the sign on bonus. I was trying to dig up their old ads. You are right about the headers and footers too. My paycheck was short almost $500.
Re: manager
I'm not the person you were asking, but the person I'm pretty sure you're referring to is still there as of now, so guess it wasn't her. In fact, she seems to be handling it quite well.
Ops Manager
Do you mean the owner or someone else? I guess I have stayed under the radar so far. C
Have you tried to tell anyone about it? Such as your manager or sm
the Solution Center? They trouble-shoot issues like this all the time. Oh and don't blame the platform - it could indeed be caused by your routed or your ISP. I've been with them for 8+ years and no major platform problems.
All I know is that my first manager
told me that medical transcriptionists have always been job hoppers, always looking for a better deal, and that was back in 1990-something. It was after that that MQ came on the scene and started changing the industry for the worse IMO.
OSi manager job
Hi. I've been an MT with them for a while, and it IS as bad as people say it is, but an account manager position has come open and I'm thinking about selling my soul to the devil. (Sorry--I'm poor, and as anyone knows who has typed for them, the second I start making money, they add 15-trillion more hospital accounts for me to try to learn, slowing me way down.)
Does anybody know how much an account manager position with them might PAY and whether it requires RELOCATION? Neither of these crucial points are mentioned in their job ad. I'd ask them directly but I think I've been a thorn in the side of some of the higher-ups, though maybe not the ones I'd need to get along with, so I don't want to make myself known just yet. Anybody know? Thanks.
Who is the ops manager?

Not the Manager
I could bet you anything that you NEVER had an issue with the Manager. There are two people we report to, a supervisor and a manager. Yes, the supervisor can be a bit abrasive at times but as long as you stick to your schedule, produce your line counts and maintain your quality, normally nothing is said to you. One always has the right to go to the Manager if there is something that cannot be resolved.
If there are QA inconsistencies, there is a QA Challenge Program. I have had errors removed and I have also had them stick.
I have transcribed for over 15 years and I have never found a better company. I believe there are a lot more happier MTs than there are unhappy MTs at Axolotl.
They are able to offer us such good benefits and line rates because Axolotl is known for their quality. They are truly different than any other National company and/or in-house company/hospital, that I have worked for.
No, I'm not the manager! (nm)
I do currently work for Milner, and I'm happy here, but not everyone has the same experiences with companies.
That is, be sure to mention sorry
:
I would not go near them. Did they mention
Not to mention,
they have no work and they don't care when you have no work and will tell you so.
not to mention
the danger of hepatitis and C. difficile from having your nose shoved that far up boss's.
I should mention that I'm
not a member, just ordered the BOS a couple of years ago
You mention an
Abrasive personality.....I can't imagine which one you could be talking about, very curious though.
Not to mention DSG seems to pay better
They offered me 9.5 cpl and I was only making 7.5 cpl at MQ. On top of that, they seemed to offer a lot of bonuses.
Not to mention ...
Now TT wants us to spend unpaid time (it'd take me an hour a day or more) to explain when, where, and how weird things happen on speech reports. I've given them these lists before and they were totally ignored. I still get reports where a as much as a third of a report is omitted on a perfectly clear audio. Well, gee, they say, it must be because the dictator whispers or pushes a mute button, or wants us to use ESP to figure it out, blah, blah. No use in switching companies, though. Most are even worse, at least pay-wise.
not to mention
extremely low pay
Talk to your manager about it first of all. Then...
...if that doesn't work, most companies, depending on how much they are hiring, can find you a spot if they want you bad enough.
Sometimes recruiters are really restricted on what they can hire for, but if there are a lot of openings to fill I can hire a M-F person if it's a deal breaker and I absolutely don't want to lose them.
However, it doesn't happen often, the person typically has to have a spotless track record and reputation in the field, and they possibly will have to fit into a potentially difficult-to-fill niche (oncology or very high ESL, for example), but it's not unheard of.
Good luck!
Why would hiring be better with a new HR manager? The HR manager should not do the hiring. sm
The recruiter should hire. The HR manager should do the job of any normal HR manager and make sure the legal issues are done, benefits, etc. A recruiter is the hiring personnel. The HR manager is to do the inside job of human resources. That should make no difference other than with the benefits.
Yes the operating manager
is nasty and they want you committ to them but they will not committ to you.
BIG 3rd on the operations manager! sm
She is as nasty as they come. Sweet as sugar until you have worked there for a little while. I REALLY suggest you stay away. They don't value their employees in any way.
What manager did you e-mail?
I have had nothing but excellent feedback from Lee Perfect training manager. She replies to my e-mails all of the time. I received my foot pedal in three business days. This sounds very strange what you are going through because I did not experience it whatsoever.
Awful HR manager
Jim with Zylomed offered me a job and told me he would send me my papers. I waited and waited and no papers. I e-mailed him and called him and he totally ignored me. How unprofessional is that. Company definitely sounds screwed up just like most national companies these days. This career is really making me depressed with so much crap we have to put up with! Any others experiencing this?
The ortho manager IS the BEST!
Best manager (and company) I've worked for in over ten years.
Is this from the wonderful OSi QA manager?
This is what I would expect from her.
Has TT lost the QA manager?
?
I'm in agreement, but how bad of a manager
3 jobs. How on earth would they even be able to manage anything? I would have to assume that management is nonexistent for the people under that manager at those companies!
My lead at TTS is a manager at
a different company too. She hasn't been at TTS long but can never be found either.
Yep and where else will you find a manager who.....
works weekends and actually responds in a timely manner?
Why do you stay then? I am sure that if you went to your manager sm
you would get your issues resolved. If someone promised something, go to Edited by Moderator. They will make sure that it is followed through. Being miserable and negative will only hurt your mood and productivity. Have them fix it or find somewhere else that makes you happy. I left MQ after many years to work for KS and am very happy. I have been there a while now though, and go straight to Edited by Moderator to get something I need. That's her job and she is happy to do anything for anyone.
Yes, but I was only paid $16 when I was a manager and I sm
went back to MT. It is not unusual for me, even at 8 cents a line, to make $30 an hour. When I was managing, I had just had a small stroke and my hands and head were not connected properly, but that was temporary. (When it did finally come back, it was much better than it had been before.)
I could not tell you why managers are paid so little, or why MTs are paid so little either. The only way that MTs make big bucks is with speed and as a manager, you have no way to increase your income.
Most likely you're a manager
because if you're an MT, your sentence structure and your grammar are terrible!
Yes, contact your manager s/m
Call him/her or e-mail, just tell them you would like a back-up account. When I did this, I was training on the new account by the next day. I now have 2 accounts, and rarely run out of work, seems like one or the other always has some. If I get to where both are running out, I'll ask for another.
Why don't you ask your manager to train you - sm
at least as a backup- on one of the accts they are hiring for? The reason they have ads out is that they have new accounts coming on all the time; current MTs cannot fill all the spots (think midnight shift, weekends, etc) and that's why they still look for other MTs.
