In Reply to: Happy with my IC company!!! - JP
how great your company is and solicit referrals. Perhaps you mean well -- I will certainly give you the benefit of the doubt. But in my 30+ years of transcription, I have rarely found that it pans out to refer someone. Granted, you say that the recruiter knows that you do not know these people and are just soliticiting the referral bucks, but it just sounds wrong for many reasons. Heck, I have referred FRIENDS to companies I was happy with and either they hated the company and were mad at me (using the word mad loosely .. perhaps disappointed/whatever is a better choice) or they didn't measure up and the company was disappointed that I had referred such a person.
Regardless, I am happy that you are happy where you are working. THAT, for all of us, is the bottom line it would seem. I want to have a home where I can just work and be happy for the rest of my working days, which will probably be until I'm 100, so I guess I had better make sure I AM happy!
Good luck to all of us.

Why should you apologize for your post?
Why are people crabbing about asking you to e mail? I thought the lunar eclipse was last week...but is there a full moon out there today? LOL
I apologize ... that post has apparently
been deleted. After posting above I went back to look at the post that I referred you to and I cannot find it. It was posted either last night or this morning and there were several discussions concerning this. 
I apologize,..this post is INCORRECT...SM
this was incorrect information and i humbly apologize for any further postings below. you are correct...they are accountants. i ask forgiveness for anyone i have offended. i was offered a job by them and i could have sworn they said they were lawyers, not accountants. went back thru my stuff and you were were correct. i ask forgiveness of those that read here and i will be more cautious in my posts in the future, if i ever dare again.
I apologize for any discord my post may have caused.
Again, despite other claims, it was not my intention to stir up such a big argument or to cause harm to anyone (including the company), and at this point the argument isn't even about the issue anymore. It seems to have morphed into an entirely different argument about whether people have the right to post pros and cons about issues within a company and where to post them. I think people should be allowed to express themselves freely on this board (under the discretion of the administrator) no matter what side of the issue they may be on, especially if all avenues internally have been exhausted . I have no desire to rehash, reargue, redefend myself, or re-anything. I think people can make their own determinations from everything that has just transpired that bad feelings have come from both sides of the issues. I just want to apologize for my part in it.
Actually, I apologize; your post just rubbed me the wrong way. sm
I get so tired of coming here and seeing the high drama and the name-calling when an obviously content employee is called management or recruiting by someone who is unhappy.
Anyway, I do still wish you luck in finding something more to your taste. Personally I trust what my STM tells me; she hasn't lied to me yet and I don't see why she would start now.
my goodness, how UNKIND. HOW UNKIND!!!
you do no know her circumstances at all, not at all. Many/most are single mothers, no child support (less than 20% pay child support) Many have no cars, money the equivalent to Jack-in-the-Box. I don't even want to read stuff like you posted. Beter get in the real world.
I don't see how a lot of single mothers do it emotionally, money-wise and on and on. Life can be pretty unfair and one feels trapped.
Sounds kind of
aa
Kind of sounds like
you're missing the point. And....isn't Q.A. part of the company or are they above the company?
That sucks....Sounds kind of -
You know, the Did you want us to just keep that sign-on bonus and apply it to the equipment usage fee? So much for the sign-on *bonus*.
Out of curiosity, might I ask why you so quickly left Webmedx? I thought they were one of the *better* MTSOs.
TIA.
Look below..sounds like EVERYBODY is happy there...Kind of makes me suspicious LOL.
I have never seen a company that EVERYONE likes but this may be it..
CHEESY--CHEESY--CHEESY--
what a cheesy company
Why??? This kind of post is not helpful
nm
Kind of a odd post coming from someone with your
x
So their platform was cheesy?
xx
kind of curious - did I miss a post to this or something
Was this a follow up to a question? Do you work there?
it aint easy being cheesy is it DM
nm
Kind of hard to blame the post office when
the company hasn't even mailed it!
I hate this kind of cheap shot post. What's the deal? nm
nm
Not to be unkind, but if they also
MT be considered since she passed the test and did not tell them she was an offshore MT? If the company requires a certain amount of experience, there is a reason. If the company decided to let everything the require slide, then what will that company become? If you did well testing, you might want to try gaining your own accounts, which does not require any experience at all.
Need to be so unkind? SM
You know, I'm another of those who if TT management had to depend on me for emails and phone calls, they would be sitting around twiddling their thumbs all day every day. I've been doing this work a long time and I don't require supervision or much of anything else except hospital specs, physician's lists and work to do. My job is to take it from there.
Some of the posters here seem to be really distressed. I think we, as satisfied employees, should try to help them instead of castigating them. I would try myself to help them but being remote, we don't even know our fellow employees and they don't even specify what the problems are so it's a little hard to answer. As for the lack of comminucation, I have already said if I had a complaint it would be lack of communication i.e. lack of response to emails. However, I'm a persistent little devil and if I need to send an email and I don't get an answer; well, I send it again, and again, and again if necessary until someone answers me. Just my 2 cents worth for whatever it (isn't) worth.
Not to be unkind... but
do you stay with a company that has no work and continues to hire. Instead of asking people not to apply, why don't you apply at other places and find some steady work?
I just don't get it. I hope the best for you, but to just sit with no work and then complain is not going to solve the no work issue, but getting those resumes out and finding that company with steady work will.
These nationals are a dime a dozen, why not try another?
This post sounds like management
to me.
Bea! Stop beating yourself up. This company sounds like the worst - they did you a favor.
I've been doing Radiology for 20 years - most decent companies don't force you to take these ridiculous tests which do *not* gauge true skills...
Never take a timed test - most don't allow you to correct mistakes except for on the word you are *on* and trust me THAT will slow you down.
Keep looking - decent companies are still out there, although I strongly suggest you not rely just on Radiology - as more and more of those accounts are being lost to voice recognition.
Uhmmm not to be unkind, but it looks like that job
Unkind remarks
I find it quite disturbing to see unkind remarks on this board. We are professionals, should act accordingly, and try to support and help our brother and sister MTs. Puffing about line counts and insulting others is just plain mean spirited. Everyone gets something different to deal with. Can't we be decent here? Who else but others in our profession would understand the complexities and diverse situations we get thrown into on a daily basis. Things are not like they were 10 or 15 years ago in this business. Lets share information, give support, stick together, and be kind.
unkind remarks
I agree with you, Sherry.
This sounds like a Lee post. She's here alive and kicking.
And she won't go away. Unprofessional and not changing.
Is Transliterator a recuiter for a company using VIaneta? Her post sounds like a commercial.
:}
I agree. Just because we are running out of work, it is not fair to belittle or be unkind personall
to Dorothy or any of the staff. I agree they have most likely over hired as this is the first time I have ever run out of work at MDI, holiday notwithstanding and it has now been going on for a couple months now. I am frustrated to the point of tears myself and may be looking for another job. I have tried to address these issues with her to no avail. I do hope things will get better but this will be the last week I can afford to hang on. She said things will pick up this week and I am hoping she is right, if not I too will have to leave. At any rate, I have no complaints personally with Dorothy. She has always been very kind and fair to me. I will truly hate to leave but probably have no choice.
Don't apologize
I was looking to see if you left an address. Good luck.
I do apologize
I took the fact that DRC was in California (I couldn't remember what town she said) and that it was a work from home company and just assumed....You are right, though, it's not the same company, and I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. She assured me they are certified with the AAMT (or whatever it's called! :) and they are legit.
By the way, I got the job :) at 1-1/2 times what I am making now!!
I do apologize
Delete away.
I apologize...
....for my foul language; I'll refrain from using such offensive terms in the future. 
Don't apologize
Many of us have had these issues to deal with at certain times in our lives. Don't be sorry for coming on here to fellow MTs to vent. Worrying will not change things, of course. All you can do is your best. Are your bills paid? Is there food in your cupboards? If your needs are met, you're doing a lot better than some. I don't have much money at the end of my paycheck to put away, but all of our bills are paid and my kids' bellies are full, so I'm happy. Things do get tight, especially this time of the year, but it always seems to work out, and I will give credit for all of this to God. I have yet to see one promise He has made that has not been kept in our lives. Just keep doing your best!
I apologize (me), but
I have read a lot of posts and I do not know about which company you posted, but do agree that no one can guarantee work! I have read bad on both companies, but also good. Thanks, LOL.
I apologize
Getting ahead of myself and got misinformation. *MDI-Maryland people are moving to Transcend as they are – if they are ICs then they will remain so.*
I guess we are too early in the game....
Here, Here!, Welcome To, Although I don't apologize SM
for those who certainly wouldn't want me to, I enjoyed your description of the torch-bearing mob I've been imagining myself these past few days. :)
I apologize for the typos.
I guess I shouldn't try to type when I'm upset. 
Ok, I see your point. I apologize. (sm)
There was a point in my life where I had kids and a family to support and so it was more crucial at that time for me to have work always. Now I can be more flexible about it. Didn't mean to be mean. Sorry.
Okay. I apologize. Didn't know
anyone was allowed to have Monday off. That's what I was told when I started. Good thing for you because you don't have to worry about Monday-after-the-end-of-the-pay-period. 
No need to apologize for length!
I am hoping for logical thinking in-depth reasoning such as yours. :)
Glad you feel better and we apologize, but sm
Administrator requested we come here.
I'm just reading up on the new changes, not posting except here, just for you!! :-)
Thanks for letting us invade this board for a while. This won't last forever. Probably a few MQers will be coming here soon to use the board as it is intended -- to find a new company LOL.
That wasn't meant as a "dis" to MQ, just that from what I read, the new program might not work for some. I'm just going to roll with the punches and come here later if necessary...
Thanks again!
I stand corrected and apologize to OSi
And, love the red coffee cup and candy.
I apologize if I sounded rude to you
It just gets my goat when somebody seems to show a lack of professionalism and others of us work so hard to try and be the best MT we can be, and are working very hard to support our families. The attitude of working whenever I feel like it causes companies to overhire and then the reliable MTs don't have enough work. I am truly not trying to be rude to you and I do apologize if I sound that way, but your attitude is detrimental to the other MTs and also to any company that might hire you. I am sorry, but I still would never hire somebody with that kind of a work ethic.
I TAKE IT BACK and apologize. Someone out there truly believes we are
worth something. I think we have all been taken so many times and have become so paranoid that people are taking advantage of our desperation and vulnerability, we sometimes forget to people there are people out there that still value us and not DE-value us. Apologies to Ms. Reed!!!!
I apologize for the mess, I actually was stupid
You didn't do anything wrong to apologize for.
It is totally appropriate to want to discuss some sensitive career matters privately. If someone is uncomfortable in e-mailing you, then that is absolutely their choice, but no one should dictate to you how you can and cannot communicate. Anyway, hope you get the information you're seeking.
I misread what you wrote and apologize.
My response below was a result of my misunderstanding!
My apologies, MtMommyof2!
Apologize for the misinterpretation, but I DO have a life .. sm
and a very good one at that! 
fatcat, your "heard" was in the right place! No need to apologize! nm
xx
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm
