    Man you are out of the loop. I'm sure there are
    some out there that pay that, but you'll be hard pressed to find them.  You're going to feel insulted when a company offers you 9 cpl as an employee with 20 years of experience. 
    You have obviously been out of the loop SM
    and are not a member of the organization, or you would have known that the name changed quite some time ago.  If you are not a member, why are you looking to them to serve you?
    You bet it does. Apparently, you have been out of the loop sm
    for a long time. Go work in a hospital office and see the brown nosers there. How about an insurance company? All sorts there. Better yet, go to a bank. How about some of the major corporate offices? They kiss butt all the time and even do "other things" to get to the top. Get real and get used to it. This is life. I like to come to this board and see your "holier than thou" and "poor me" attitudes and make total idiots of yourselves. It makes for great entertainment. I definitely would NOT want to work alongside the likes of you. No wonder your job didn't work out. Nobody likes catty transcriptionists. Pull in your claws.
    E-mail loop says
    they are offshoring work now! Just FYI.
    You're definitely out of the loop (sm)
    they have never outsourced to another service that I know of.  I agree on missing J.  He was great.  An email went out about that, tho.
    I am completely out of the loop.

    I think the new payroll company keeps overlooking me, and often I have to ask for information that seems to be sent to everyone else (For example, my benefits paperwork wasn't sent until I asked for it.) I will have to ask again to have the 401k info sent to me. I have no paperwork on this. Did you get anything yet? What is the deadline for cashing out? TT hasn't given us info yet on their match, have they?
    out of loop - how hard????
    I've been on medical leave and can return to work only to do
    VR. How hard is the platform and to get the lines? Training? What are they paying on the VR stuff? Does anyone know if the ML (PA) account or the SR (AZ) accounts have a lot of VR?
    Well I still feel out of the loop
    I never even heard any rumors to call and ask about.
    you lost me at loop hole.
    Sorry, my brain is fried since I only had 3 hours sleep and was up at 4 am to work my 8 hour shift. Could you please explain this so a dumb ol' hillbilly could understand?
    I suspect you're NOT out of the loop
    I suspect you just hit a suspected nail right on the head.

    Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
    Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..

    No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

    Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
    address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
    I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm

    They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
    and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
    tried to email you but your email is invalid
    ?
    Is there an email address I can email them at. nm
    :
    Why email me? You want people to email you. NM

    I tried to email you but it said your email is invalid. Can

    you email me please.


    The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
    We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.

    We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.

    We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
    Guess you are not doing your job right then.....
    s
    My guess...
    I may be wrong but my guess is that this is CorT. I have been with them only 4 months but I have many MT sisters who have been with them longer and love it.
    I guess Everyone Else....

    Since no responses, I guess I am the only MT who works for a national that charges for templates but doesn't tell you upfront or put it in a contract....oh well....time for another company!!!


    I guess when you look at it that way...
    x
    I guess it was just me...
    but it came off as sounding like the stereotype of slaves on the "plantation" - it just didn't sit right with me...
    You are in the know, but guess what
    SO AM I.  Spaces my XXX.  Maybe you but not all of us for sure.  Pay on time.  Come on, talk about not telling the truth.  Last couple of times maybe, but until everyone started screaming on here came whenever. 
    Guess what... sm
    I am not management and they are a wonderful company. I have heard and read bad things yet I have worked there for quite some time and I have never seen any of what you say. They are nice people and they would not fire someone for being sick or family emergency. There has to be more to that story. TH rocks!
    Of course I don't guess!!!!!!!!!!!
    No, there's no guessing medical transcription. These dictators are clear as a bell!! A wonderful company to work for.
    I guess everyone has a different
    I'm with DK and have never been happier.  I have no trouble doing over 1800 lines in an 8 hour shift on the CTS platform.  I will say though that I work on mainly one account (that helps some).
    Did they just guess?
    nm
    I guess both.
    zz
    guess that's right
    I went back to the policies at the top of the page and didn't see anything about naming names, but I'm pretty sure the moderator has asked us not to do this and yes, I was referring to her name, not yours. I guess we're certainly free to use our own, but am pretty sure that at one time we were told not to mention names. Guess I was wrong or it was changed. Thanks.
    my guess is because not enough MTs take this job serious enough.
    Let's put it this way, every time I turn around I hear MTs saying they want to be there for their kids (nothing wrong with that) but when I was raising my kids, I worked outside the home and if they had a play at school I could not get off to go. The MTs of today want to do it all with their kids and think they can work but the fact is in the real world they would not be able to do that and that is not the real way to treat this job SO COMPANIES HAVE TO COVER THEIR TUSH. There are always going to be those who treat this like a real job but from what I am seeing the majority of the MTs nowadays who are younger just want to work the job in around their life and that just cannot be done and have a company be successful SO companies have to overhire to cover themselves. If they had people who treated this more like a real job, all that overhiring would not be necessary. All of us MTs who take our job seriously have suffered because of this new attitude.
    You guess right..(nm)
    .
    I guess they are still around, but they were the
    absolute worst company to work for. Be wary with them is all I will say.
    Thanks all..... I guess it is
              better to know the devil than to get surprised again.  I sure do appreciate this input.  I will simply put on the person who is talking with me.  She is supposed to call today to set me up.  It seemed awful pushy and fast to me.   You are, indeed, jewels!!!     
    Thanks. I guess I am one. lol

    I guess it's
    anybody's guess!
    I guess I have to try this again.......nm
    First of all .I have to correct this misconception that Medware is OUTSOURCING MORE now than before.. as far as I know Merit always did a considerable amount of reviewing which wsa typed by India..on the Dictaphone side there were maybe 100 to 300 files edited from India MTs..each day up until about 1-2 monhts ago when they stopped sending them to India altogehter for some reason.... and several editors got moved around in their jobs... by all means I am not defending Medware..whatever their motive i doubt it is a positive one for anyone but themselves.. their high management is acting out of greed, and their actions through all of this were of an incredible lack of any regard for their employees.. and an even greater measure of ignorance for what was being accmoplished in these positions they eliminated. I felt that my job was, or at least my goal.was to help the MTs any way I could to do an amount of work every day that many times seemed out of reach to me, on a system that continually fails them... AT A higher than standard level of quality.... so much of the work they do is not even considered time worked which is one more act of greed I am baffled at how Medware has gotten away with...the leads did a lot to support the MTs..helping them to more readily pump out the work expected of them..in several ways..which made things better for so many people.. and that is precisely why our jobs were not considered important enough to keep...

    The point is.. they are NOT outsourcing more at this point.. but less.. what their plans are is another story... but I think in this time especially when people like this are hiding behind lies to their employees.... it is important for those of us with higher standards to keep what is truth in perspective. As far as the email sent out to all the employees by an AAMT person...that was a report that she was required to prepare and hand in .. and I would bet my life . her sending that to everyone was a TOTAL mistake and one she regrets and will for much time to come.. but I have no reason to think..(and I do not know her) personally...that she is being malicious or working toward the demise of all American MTs.. Outsourcing to India is extremely widespread and not just in our field... and it has been common knowdlege that Medware outsources as far as I know... just like half the other national companies are known to be doing... I certainly don't think at this point we can say that everyone who works for a cmopany who outsources ...is supporting that.. nor accommodating it..It is an unfortuante part of this industry whether we want it or not..put there by greedy companies wanting to get more for much much less..I certainly do not support that.. but to say that we are losing our jobs because of INDIA... or that anyone who works for companies who hire them are supporting misplacing our own people... is not true... this is happening through those who are greedy and want to pay less and willingly sacrifice quality...the high management of these companies.. who most times know very very little about medical transcription.. and are focused on what will bring them an extra buck.... focus your resentment on them.. write to them.. but the rest of us need to stick together and can only become like them when we turn on each other...

    I get so frustrated editing their work.. when I realize that what they type in one report would be enough to have me fired.. yet I must continually correct their same mistakes.. and the ridiculous things they make up when they have no clue.. You are right.. they are not qualified nor anywhere near proficient.. but they obviously have enough skills for the low life pepole at the top of half these companies to hire them anyway... and get rid of credible jobs like Medware did... These India people are hungry .. and I would do the same to feed my family.. so I cannot blame them... but I despise those who are willing to use the level of desperation and unfortunate lifestyle of these people for their own personal gain...which is just what these companies did and do .. which started all of this and remains responsible for it.. no on else.....
    I guess she is still looking
    I actually enjoyed that one, it certainly was different than the mundane typical resume I get.  I thought it showed individuality and at least some creativity.  I didn't hire her because she didn't have the required equipment/program, but the resume I really liked.
    guess i don't know....
     
    I can guess who
    Do you live in Florida?
    Let me guess!!!!
     
    I'm in QA and it would be my guess
    that if people are without work it's because they were making too many errors for QA to keep up with. None of the companies I've worked for like outsourcing - it's a PITA - but if it's gotta have full audio QA, you really can't afford to do much else.
    bet I can guess who it is
    don't give them another second of your time. It will only get worse and you will feel like a fool in the end for having stayed so long.
    I would guess

    the poster is asking you obliquely to speak with respect and not demand an answer. JMO.


     


    just a guess
    I'm guessing that they don't really have your resume but got your name from either an MT website, MT publication subscription, MT organization, or something of that nature and are trying to trick you into applying either so they can try to get you to work for them (never heard of them) or to get your personal information.
    Just a guess
    One add of theirs matched another exactly that said 7 cpl. I'm assuming that was for the straight typing.
    LOL guess again
