Do you *adopt* free rabbits from people and then
Just wondering, as dog and cat 'bunchers' do that. They 'adopt' from people giving away free pets or selling them at low prices, then sell in quantity to research labs. Lots of 'missing' pets end up this way, too.

If you aren't a buncher, you just MIGHT want to try a different name, as that one has a pretty unpalatable meaning to pet-lovers!

(FYI only, not a flame!)

but it is a free country. People ask questions all the time that
are best answered by a representative of the company in question. 
no email came through, but feel free to post ?'s here

Anyone is free to post, not just Axolotl employees

Public board. I am free to respond to any post.

Feel free to post here or email Natalie as well. nm

Feel free to post your questions here. The only criteria we ask that posters follow

is not to post other people's personal names, email addresses, telephone numbers, and no client specific information.  Regarding crass posts by others, this is an anonymous board, which means anyone can post without identifying themselves.  We do moderate the site for content, but I would advise ignoring the trolls and negative information and zone in on the positive.


Thanks,

Free enterprise. You are free to re-educate and retrain, as well!!!!
What's the complaint?!

People post "I went to XX cause everyone says how

Maybe post your resume to let people
Other person needs a massage!
As of now, 275 people have read the post!

I think the title of post set people off...
tell your ex-coworker: no, you do not know of anyone hiring; if she asks again, tell her the same thing. Be thankful she did not ask to use you for a reference; then you have a problem.
sorry, post should be under 'all MDI people and no...)

You do realize that probably 90% of the people who post
on here and read on here probably just applied to your company that you're talking about! It's nice to know that there are still good companies out there. It gives me a little glimmer of light in my oh so dark tunnel that I've been stuck in lately.
I actually know a couple of the happy people who post...sm

I actually know a couple of the people who regularly post positively on this board about Transcend. I email with them quite regularly. They aren't management. There's one theory down the drain.


And, no, I'm not management trying to create a story, either, although you probably suspect that I am.


Try to accept that people can be happy and supportive of their employer. It's better to be part of the solution than part of the problem.


 


 


 


Maybe it's because they post jobs and never respond to people.
Has anyone actually had them respond to a resume?
This is why people do not like to post here. I am not an OFFICIAL recruiter but sm
like to refer KS to others as I am so happy there. I was not aware that using the title was misrepresentation. It really does not matter. I am not going to waste any more time here. It gets very time-consuming and I am tired of feeling attacked if I post anything at all.
Well, yes. But my point is the OP said wanted people to post

positive experiences with Focus.  I've seen other posts like this where a person will ask about a specific MTSO and say something like just good things or no negative posts please.


It just strikes me as looking at the world through rose colored glasses.  How can you make an informed decision if you only consider one side of an argument?  It's just silly.  Why bother to ask any questions at all?  Just take the job and be done with it.  People take time to answer questions honestly here and try to help out fellow MTs so they don't make the same mistakes we've made and what thanks do we get? 


Pollyannas like the OP who just wants to hear the good. 


This post is true. Pay attention people. nm

People post that info all the time.

Hey, GP, some people post libelous information

about companies. I hope it's not you being sued. I don't know if you ever worked for TT or not but  I've seen some of the outrageous things stated against TT and I just don't know if I would believe some of those posts. I think they may be disgruntled employees taking out their hatred on a company that, until a few months ago, had great reviews. Then someone posted a nasty comment about them and it's been going downhill since then.


This board is for comments on companies, but not some of the nastiness I've seen against TT lately so, again, I say, it all started with one disgruntled employee and snowballed from there. If they are suing someone, they must have a good reason, don't you think?

Last word here - People here need to read a post correctly
I never told HER to suck it up. Why don’t you read postings correctly. Can you not make a distinction between me saying I JUST SUCKED IT UP as telling about my vacation and you saying something entirely different? What is the matter with the posters here? I am outta here for the afternoon. Everyone have a good time.
I remember your post several weeks ago..Hopefully, you still arent working for these people. I'm
sure they have been paid by their client. Why do they think they can rip people off. You need to post their name so that noone else bothers with them. Oh yeah, I think I remember now..It was someone named Joanna who asked for overflow help on podiatry, right? I am ashamed to admit that I submitted my resume. Luckily, she never called or I would be doing what your doing..Nightmare..
good guesses, but none of what you stated in your post....i rest my case though, you people
ARE TRULY NASTY.......nothing short of a JERRY SPRING remake here....i simply said that SoftScript was wonderful and so far, i've been told i'm a joke, insulted, called names, etc.......now lets see if anyone has anything nice to say......as if that were possible on this board.............
Free sure. There are free on-line fax

services, in fact I used one last week.   Most do have limits on how often you can use and how many pages though.  You obviously would have to scan pages into a document, but maybe she doesn't have a scanner either.


She could have mailed paperwork back. 


It is not my fault I'm a better MLS than
you are. You will be an okay MLS
And somehow its all QA's fault! Everything!
We're lining our pockets on her misery or something? Really scary - really, really scary. The kind of MT who makes me cry myself to sleep at night. How dare I correct that incorrect drug? I mean, it was transcribed in love, right? What does it matter if its just a tad the wrong med? Here I am on my QA throne of judgment....its so scary.
Its always QA's fault isn't it ?
Gosh I really get tired of the QA bashing. Sounds to me if the company thought you were worth it, you would have been begged to stay and the QA would have been gone. You say We all left? Must have been all the ones not able to conform to whatever your company's standard was for QA. Many MTs leave a company because they just don't want to comply or learn anything, its like a revolving door, very common. I have been in this business doing QA for over 25 years. The only MTs that get a lot of emails from me or contact are the ones you have to constantly correct for the same things over and over again, and believe me that gets old. The MTs doing good work, we never hear from them and they never hear from us. Check the board here, you'll find many more sour grape complaints about QA. We are the only ones I guess to lash out at, its all our fault. Take responsibility for your own work! As far as not being able to work because of IM, I know for a fact that some, (and I do say some, not all) MTs chat away all day, even go into chat rooms to talk, they luvve to gossip, and especially talk about how terrible their company is, and you think we can't find out what chat room your in? Check out Buddy Spy. Thats why you can't get your work done, excuses excuses.......
I'm not saying that it is the fault of TT..sm
could be ExText, could be me, could be TT, I just don't know.  My account has a high number of ESLs so I think this is a huge factor.
Not TT's fault
ExText...no matter where you work on ExText, line counts are hard to get. I can't figure it out either!
Yes, it does take a while sometimes..and the fault is not with KS (sm)
but with the hospital where the ID is coming from.  I had to wait over a week and a half to get mine last fall.  It's perfectly OK to call the office and check though, so you can ease your mind.  Welcome to KS and good luck!
Not their fault
From the mistakes you made in your post, I can see why you did not pass their test! Sounds like sour grapes to me folks.
I think you are right, not TT's fault
Thanks for your kind words. After thinking on it, I realized that I never even think to skip jobs and I was getting the ones skipped. I realize that this patient needs their document, no matter how ESL the doc is, it's patient care. I am sure today will be better. I am going to have a similar outlook as yours. Thanks for your sane answer, and your validation. Today is another day :) and Thanks again.
It is also the fault of anyone who
encourages them to do it. Many newbies jump in because they are so eager to get a start. IMHO, we do not need to make it harder for them by linking them up with scam artists. Yes, in an ideal world, newbies would do their research, but most don't. That's their fault. But I am not going to let it be my fault that I recommended some fly by night matchbook school.
Don't tell anyone else it's their own fault and to get another job. (sm)
I work for a company that is highly praised on this board.  People are always saying their accounts are overloaded with work.  Well, mine isn't. It used to be, then they overhired on the account and the hospital's business has dropped steadily due to the poor economy.  Since the end of October there has been virtually no work in this account.  I have a backup account which does not contain what my specialties are so I barely get enough lines from that account either.  It will take me at least a couple of months to learn the account and become fluent on it.  There are many companies that promise you the moon and that you will NEVER run out of work. Well, the company I work for does have accounts that run out of work even though everyone who works for them on here says they don't.  I don't care what company you work for..they do have accounts where there is no work and instead of moving some of the recently hired people on low work accounts to new accounts, they keep everyone on there and no one can make any money.  It is NOT the MTs' fault.
Whose fault
I have been reading a lot of these posts and they have been most helpful in pointing out companies that are unfair, etc.

However, I've also noticed many people complaining and just trying to point blame on others. This is not helpful and creates kind of a negative atmosphere all told.

I never said it was the mt's fault...sm
I am not taking sides in this. I read all of her previous posts and all I have to say at this point is: If she had just kept her opinions to herself, whether she felt she was justified or not (and she probably was), it would not have come down to this. Sometimes it IS best not to say anything, as it always has a way of coming back on you. Now there are consequences to her actions and unfortunately, also to others who felt the need to also continue the litany. There are always two sides to a story and this one definately has two sides. I am staying neutral and will just see how it all plays out. I just think there is a lesson to be learned here, is all, and that's just my opinion.
Thats nobody's fault but your own, go get what your worth!!
There are too many companies out there that will pay you what your worth, why settle?
In response to It is All Your Fault
I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. I am not a stay-at-home mom. However, this is what most companies want now. If it was my way, MT's would be treated as the professionals that they are and not as a group of bean-pickers (Not that there is anything wrong with bean-pickers), but I paid a lot for my medical transcription education, which is frowned on because it is a college education and not AAMT, as did a number of MT's. I would appreciate being paid a decent hourly wage or salary. They do not expect doctors to be paid only by the operation, clinic visit, etc. And yes, it is correct to compare. (Some days I feel that I can perform an appendectomy) Comapnies do not want dedicated MTs who need a PRIMARY income, but those who are just trying to supplement husband's income or make extra cash. Working at home was not my choice, but just my option to stay employed as the hospitals were eliminating their transcription departments and giving in to outsourcing to transcription companies, etc. (Imagine the money they save by not having to buy equipment or providing space to a department). YOU ARE RIGHT! The profession of medical transcription has been XXXX by the greedy.
DUH...my fault for not reading
the ad in detail.  At the bottom it states they are a private company not associated larger one of similar name.
Yep they sure do, fault is not with Extext
but the companies clipping lines.
Clients at fault?
I really think it varies from client to client what is expected as far as unpaid fussing.  Some expect the moon and the stars (looking up the ordering physicians on huge databases instead of passing us that demographic).  I don't understand why a company would agree to contracts like these with the clients - they know no production will result from it!
Of course, it must be the fault of the MT, and not because their particular account ran out. nm
x
You're both right. It's my own fault if I don't.

Thank goodness, but it's not your fault..
my company has been extremely low too for much longer than the usual seasonal times that occur, keep getting the same just wait, work will pick up emails. Good luck!
Facility at fault?
If the facility has in-house MTs, they often outsource the crap work to the MTSO. It's another good reason why working inhouse might be better, if the jobs were available, and if we really wanted to go outside our homes, that is.
not necessarily fault of the MT
I ran into a former coworker of mine. She works at a hospital where the doctors are allowed to send the VR reports out without review by an MT and was telling me about the HUGE problems this has caused. Can you imagine? Egads.
Not entirely the company's fault for
your money problems. Are you slave labor, chained to your desk, forced to work for them? You and you alone are responsible to see you have enough money coming in every month to meet your needs. Contrary to popular belief, there is some personal responsibility here; it's not the company's job to see you are provided the life you think you deserve.
