that was a weird post
sure, not sure. Wow
Post here from Jan. said start off at 6 cpl & go up to only 9 cpl thru weird tiers of difficulty.
s
post such a comment
I am beginning to think that mental illness is rampant amongst MTs????? This board should not be used for putdowns, criticisms, etc. From the sounds of you, you must be a supervisor yourself. Maybe these folks don't ask you because you never can answer any of their other questions or you just ignore them. They may as well ask someone that works for Waste Management. Now how does that feel??
If you post such a derogatory comment on this
forum, then at least have the courage and decency to post it under a moniker, and not completely anonymous.
Your comment is very superficial and ignorant.
This was a limited poll. Post your comments on
the Initiative web site, which I cannot post here because they keep deleting it, so ask around.
The more voices that are heard, the more input received, the more realistic the figures will be.
The person that posted that there are union MTs making $28 hourly with full benefits must have typed that during cocktail hour. It's not happening any where, especially not for at-home MTs who are paid by production and paid nothing when there is no work.
Whatever I post you criticize. Stop stalking my comments!
It is YOU who has a cloudy mind.
I think you are still under the influence of yesterday's Xanax.
Stop offering me XANAX, are you stupid or what!?
Are yuio trying to make other people addicted to XANAX!
It would appear that their goal is to take
over that position. Even MQ has their loyal followers. Not to equate them with terrorists, but they have quite a following as well.
People aren't upset because there is a change but what they are changing to.
We're all going down the toilet.
$1000 weekly gives me a goal to aim for
I look forward to reaching that goal!
Yes, outsource as in offshoring. Why else would she be in the way of "their goal"? sm
You would think if she is as good as everyone says, she would be helping towards their goal. So it sounds to me like she is against them achieving whatever their goal is and she was in the way of it.
Stated Goal: Eliminate MTs this decade
Most are already aware (it is pretty obvious), but because some still refuse to open their eyes, I am posting the below from the Nuance website. It is actually a timeline of the Dictaphone Corporation's history, which is pretty interesting and goes back to Alexander Graham Bell.
Still, I find it noteworthy that they state in no uncertain terms that they want to "eliminate most manual transcription for healthcare in North America this decade."
"A major development took place in February 2006 when Burlington-Massachusetts-based Nuance Communications announced that it would acquire Dictaphone in a cash deal worth $357 million. In a news release Nuance Chairman and CEO Paul Ricci commented on the acquisition, which was completed by the end of March, stating: 'The combined resources, experience and talents of Nuance and Dictaphone will help accelerate the adoption of speech recognition to eliminate most manual transcription for healthcare in North America this decade, delivering over $5 billion in savings to care facilities and transcription service organizations.'
Under new parentage, Dictaphone was named a division of Nuance--the Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions division--and Schwager was named its president.
I've never heard of a goal higher than 100 reports for radiology.
And there are plenty of days when a poor, unorganized dictator will hold you back to more like 60 reports! Especially if you try to catch all the order errors with right/left, whether contrast was used, etc.
I'm sorry; I doubt you can reach that 2000 goal or anything close in 40 hours.

Why so very few comments regarding Diskriter? Are comments by employees not permitted SM
on public forums. I have always been interested to see comments on this company, as they are constantly advertising and seem to have an attractive employee package. Unfortunately, never seeing comments on MT boards makes me extremely uneasy. I'm sure they could have stipulations in their contracts that prevent them from commenting, but even so I would expect to see good or bad comments even from ex-employees. Hmmm? Plus, if the anonymity is supposed to be in place on these boards, how can it hurt for employees to make a general comment, good or bad?
Is this weird?
I am new to this board and new to transcription in general, so let me know if this is usual behavior for companies that hire new graduates. I was hired by a company a few months ago as an IC and worked for them for a week. I was told that my accuracy was not high enough and was offered the chance to move to a RAD account. I said I wanted to try it and she never sent me my login information even after I emailed her several times. She kept telling me she was waiting for it and that I would get it soon. It has now been several months and I haven't heard from her. However, she did send my first (and final, apparently) check with $30 deducted from it for a pedal she said I needed that she had sent to me awhile back. Anyway, this is probably a stupid question but do I need to contact her at all regarding dissolving my contract? It seemed to me like she didn't think my accuracy was good enough and just wanted to drop me like a hot potato...has this ever happened to anyone?
It just seemed too weird to me
I heard the same thing, I really liked her and they fired her for that, I did not feel comfortable with OSi after that.
Weird?
If you thought it was weird why not get clarification, ask questions!! You can get good lines on escription if you read fairly fast, and its easier on the hands. Doesn't sound like you're in too much of a rush to go to work.
Weird
That is very weird. I've always used p.o. when I work for them. In fact, p.o. is on a list they sent me of approved abbreviations that they use! It is definitely not on the forbidden list. I hope you get it straightened out and that I never run into that QA person!
This is weird
I didn't see anything either that referenced what you are talking about. Why do you feel the need to post here in response to KS posts. Why don't you get a thread going about your own company and let people respond there about their experience instead. Happy for you too that you have found your place.
Weird
I sent her my resume, she was very interested and said she would call me on Friday or Monday. She did not call on Friday or Monday. Tuesday I received an e-mail in which she indicated she would call me later in the day. Then, I received another e-mail later in the day that said that she would have to get back to me on Wednesday because her computer crashed. Haven't heard a thing since. This is very strange. Even if she does get a hold of me now, I think I will pass. I don't like being hung out to dry, as I feel she would not want to be hung out to dry. I also feel it is very rude.
That's really weird.....
I have 2 accounts at Keystrokes, both on ExText, and I just get whatever jobs are highest priority first...never heard of picking unassigned jobs. That sounds weird to me.
Now that's weird...
When I worked there a couple of years ago and wanted to set up a second computer and router, I asked their help desk for advice and they not only helped me set it up, they advised me on the best router to buy. Strongly dislike Spheris and their ever down-spiraling pay, but must say their help desk was great.
Something is weird about them..
I tested about a year ago and they said I failed, uh yeah okay with 20 years' experience. So then I get an e-mail a week later asking me to test again because the test was being scored wrong. Needless to say, if they can't even test properly, what else can they not do properly? Hmmm... makes ya' wonder don't it - heehee!
Seemed a little weird to me..
But knew right away I with my experience was not interested. Sorry.
weird
Because when I was hired by FN, they said it was either a Saturday or Sunday rotation, didn't know having weekends off was an option, especially in this business. I don't get calls on my day off. I work my one day on the weekend (more if I want more $$$) and that's it.
WEIRD!
This all sounds VERY strange as I work for Landmark and was never sent a FOB or a foot pedal ~ just went to work and that was it! Is this something for some sort of special account they have? I must say in defense of LM, I have found them a total pleasure to work for. They use the Bayscribe platform which I downloaded myself with a link they sent me and I was off and running! They leave me alone to do my work and all is well, so I think this must be some sort of weird and unusual misunderstanding you have had with them over this foot pedal and FOB because I was never required to purchase either one or sent either one to do my job for them.
Does this seem weird to anyone?
I was hired by a company and work daily, however, I NEVER hear from them, not 1 email or anything. Is this normal that you are left alone like this and should count it a blessing? Usually there is some sort of communication to feel like you are still in the loop. Feels weird to me. What do you think??? 
That's weird
I got a call Thursday from the team leader, asking me some questions, telling me about the job, the hours, etc. Then Friday the HR person called me. We chatted for about 15 minutes, and she offered me the job.
That afternoon, the tech person did a quick survey of my computer to check speed, memory, free space, etc.
I didn't hear anything, so I called the HR person yesterday. They said tech never got back to them. They got all my materials to me, offer letter, etc. within 1/2 hour.
Now, I am waiting on my C-Phone and my new laptop (I passed the survey with my current computer, but I'm gonna give that one to the kids) and they are waiting for my access to be granted by the hospital. I am hoping to start on Monday or Tuesday.
well how weird..
that us TT employees got an email today about how to fill out time sheets...don't put anything more on there than 80 total!! Unless, of course, it is a holiday. Found it very unusual since we never hear one word from them anymore.
In a weird way, I see your point
...and did from the beginning. I kinda thought it was going to be taken poorly and I don't agree, either about the Irish or bombs on board, but I think get you.
I think you are saying that when things seem to be calming down, people that need a drama fix push a known hot button to entertain themselves. I get that; however, I don't necessarily agree with every comment since then.
My perception, for whatever it's worth, is that for that to be true (both with this board and Ireland), you would have to operate under the assumption that there was full resolution and total peace afterwards, no residual strong emotions, everyone felt heard, and no one felt silenced. I don't think that is the case in either "arena."
When people feel silenced, as I am "hearing" both parties saying, then the elephant is still in the living room and some want people tiptoeing around it like it's not there just so they don't have to deal with conflict because it makes them uncomfortable. There has been no understanding or resolution between differing opinions and there won't be as long as people make up their minds not to listen or understand. You can expect residual posts for awhile.
The fact is, if this discussion makes anyone uncomfortable (when it is entitled "company board", so like...what ELSE do you talk about?), not to be harsh, but that person's comfort level is their own problem.
If that person is uncomfortable with conflict, change the channel (and therefore your own behavior) instead of trying to change the people around you. You can try to change what they do, but it seldom works and stirs up more trouble. It's more effective to change your approach. Not that I have this down yet myself, but when I can remember to do it, it does work.
The fact is, everyone who is still here must be drawn to the drama/entertainment a bit or none of us would still be watching...jagged little pill to swallow idn't it?:)
This is weird, I was actually under the thread I was
.
Very low and weird pay scale, Keep looking. nm
xx
They still have work? Weird...
nm
This whole thread is weird and obviously has some
ulterior motive - so much name throwing and personal smut details. Susan and now Tara? Sounds like Days of Our Lives. Give us a break. We're really not interested in whatever your personal agenda is. Buh bye!
I got one too, which I thought was weird
because I've never worked for them or applied to, but I assumed they got my info from AAMT or AHDI or whatever they are now.
what about the weird clock
the clock they sent for MT week, that cracked me up. Makes me dizzy to look at it, how does that help? Agree 100% about ASR.
Hmmm, that is weird...
I wonder if he was really calling from MQ?
Seems weird they would refer you to CS.
They are no longer accepting new grads from CS to work for them. They have done away with their Focus on the Future program and left many CS grads hanging who they had already accepted into the program. They say they will now only hire those with prior experience.
Weird, but not all that unusual unfortunately.
This makes people feel even more disconnected. I think most people who work at home don't want to be interrupted by a lot of extraneous chatter - and perhaps a few would even be happy if they didn't hear anything from one year to the next but those are the exceptions.
A very different problem is when you only hear about your screwups - otherwise, you just get silence on the wire.
Both modes (dead silence and 'no news is good news') of communications violate everything we've learned over the years about work-related social interactions - and in my opinion, both of them are extremely unhealthy. In fact, they're both evidence of bad management.
VR of ESLs can be weird. SM
My very first account on VR had a dictator from Spain who was very hard to understand; no amount of familiarity helped completely because she slurred terribly. I was sure her reports would be a total mess, but she and it got along like dynamite (maybe the VR was from Spain also?), while it did much less well initially with much clearer dictators. Beyond figuring from my little home office, but it was fun to see.
Dermatology has more weird words ..
than I thought could exist. However, I enjoy it a lot because, for the most part, the docs speak clearly and seem to be more interested in dictating a good report than the usual doc. Also, I find the field very fascinating. Didn't realize there was so much going on with our skin!!
well that's weird. Why not contact them personally, then? nm
x
No, not weird, everybody pushed and got the work done. There will be more. nm
nm
Job Seeker's Board? There when I look also. Weird! nm
,
weird question -- and why should it matter?? xx
xx
I worked for co. with weird spelling and often
x
Right! TT says the count is correct if you use weird
x
Weird, I had work this morning and all day. sm
I will say that if you are going to hit no work, generally it is on a Monday a.m. after payroll ended Sunday night; everyone who was short on hours during the week ends up making up time on Sunday nights and it takes a few hours for Monday's work to stockpile.
There's a BUNCH on there now!
Maybe I have a weird sense of humor,
but in my 14+ years as MT, I have never heard the term *offspring* used in a report in this context, always children or kids. I have had many animals over the years and so this is why my first thought was that and it just struck me as amusing (need this ever once in a while to keep me going on days like today...only down to 85 degrees at midnight and no air conditioning). 
"Easter" is starting to weird me out.

You mean, like, ecstasy? Weird, but I'll try it! (nm)

I agree they sound weird - let's ask her! nm
