I told the supervisor, who did put a stop to it. Turns out this girl was assigning herself the good work and the supe didn't watch it. However, I have also heard of other supes who just let it go, and if they did that after you mentioning it, I'd be on my way out the door, for sure.

Thanks. Maybe better keep my mouth shut. (sm)
My main account is one of those with boldings on and off all over the place. Really a pain on ASR work.
Unless this gets to be more than a couple of minutes at a time I will just sit back and consider myself lucky.
Thanks for your help.
I thought this was mgmt also but kept my mouth shut...nm

If the hospital employees know, then the company knows. Keep your mouth shut and get out.

Shut up?????
You must work for KS. All that emotional turmoil that is so obvious there and that anyone who does stay long enough will see for themselves. I have found it best to stay away from MTSO's where the drama comes from the top.
I really wish they'd shut D&L down
It's one thing if an MTSO has a rare problem with cash flow - and is up front and works to correct it.
It's another if their MODUS OPERANDI is to take the MTs hard work and then stall on the payment FOR MANY YEARS RUNNING. That's fraud, and they ought to be drummed out of business.
Shut them UP, and shut them DOWN!

Why don't you all SHUT UP.
People are loosing their TRANSCRIPTION jobs to INDIA and all you can worry about is who gets a better report?
LET IT GO!
To shut her/us up
Just to keep us quiet and entertained for awhile, IMO. I too went through the same exact circumstance when I ran out of work and asked to crosstrain. I patiently waited for the alloted time to arrive, then my liaison informed me that she had forgotten to save 5 jobs for me to train with and the account was EMPTY. I went through this 2-3 times during the training process.
I was so relieved to be getting a backup account that the OBVIOUS problem of there being no work on the backup account never occurred to me.
I think it's like putting Band-Aid on a gaping bullet hole. In other words, going through the motions of repair but much pointless.
Shut up and move on.
Geez.
WHEN will victims of D&L shut them down?
All of you should band together and let THEIR clients know they are cheating you out of your fees, and tell then you will be taking D&L to Court so they can prepared to be subpoena'd. I DOUBT DL client's will tolerate this, and may force DL to clean up their act.
I have compassion for smaller companies for short-term problems, but they did this to me, too, and that was in 2002 (or 2003)!!
I'm with quit and shut up
If TT is someone's only source of income and TT has no work, why, why, why would someone just sit back and wait for the work to come to them. You do what you need to do if it takes 2, 3 or more jobs. Family responsibilities, health, and especially sole earner, just completely idiotic to sit back and wait. No get up and go for these people. Oh, I forgot, they have a child at home so they cannot work anywhere but home.
If we shut up as you suggest....
Duh!
You won't see your money. Come together and get her shut down for good.
,
Me too - the hospitals haven't shut down

Lordy be ssmnger you just don't when to shut up do you? sm
You are doing nothing but shooting yourself in the foot and reinforcing Former SS Employee's point!!
Did Ochsner Clinic in Louisiana get shut down due to
Solution: Shut down hospitals on weekends.

possibly -- it seems to have finally shut down the endless TT threads ...
I was beginning to think they needed their own board ...
I wasn't following them, but my impression is that they had been going on -- in some incarnation or another -- for several week ...
who would want to work for a company with so many so unhappy employees (even if the internet notoriously distorts just how many people are represented -- since the same people -- particularly the most incensed -- post over and over and over again -- creating the impression of great throngs of angry people)
I have no idea if TT's suit has merit ... just that such suits are not unprecedented and -- aside from unlikely-to-make-much-difference memos to their employees or public notices on boards like these -- represent the only way I'm aware of to defend one's good name.
If this served to educate the many folks here who thought that the first ammendment automatically protected them on line -- then good has already come from this.
I think you need to check your mouth
9 cpl/gross does NOT equal 13 cpl/character, maybe 11 but not 13.
This was from the horse's mouth.
Perhaps you need to get a new horse.
Remember the packet changes are effective January 1, not today.
It's unfortunate you aren't being paid for downtime. I was paid several times for 40 hours, when my hours fell short.
I see the packet as MQs move to finally consolidate EVERYONE onto the same plan of management so this ridiculous "but my office says and it's true" stuff can stop.
The horse's mouth would be
The Administrator can only go by what she is told by the company directly or an MT has to produce proof that they offshore before she prevents them from posting on this board.
Mush Mouth
THOSE are the words that describe exactly what I have had to type also, so I REALLY feel bad for you. I have spent half an hour on a 60-second report, so OBVIOUSLY, my line count is going to be pathetic. But when I say that I'm having a hard time due to short, difficult reports (trying to put it nicely as opposed to doing mush mouth reports!!), I just get told that they have MTs that do short reports just like I'm doing, and that they have no problem making 1000 lines a day. RIGHT; WRONG!!! There is NO way to make 1000 lines a day when you have short reports and mush mouth dictators, which unfortunately, most dictators do NOT dictate clearly. What irks me is some of them could easily dictate clearly, but they just start dictating in this tired, slow voice. I'm sure they are probably overworked and under paid also, but it's just as easy to dictate a report clearly as it is to dictate it muffled and mush mouthed. I left MT for a few months and then got desperate and went back to work, but it hasn't even been a month, and I'm already tired of the same old problems as above. I have no normals or templates that I know of, just a bunch of doctors dictating the same old stuff. Am about ready to quit, once again. I need the money, though, so I don't have any options.
LOL - You took the words right out of my mouth.

Are you a typical TT MT, with that mouth???

from the horse's mouth
Per company e-mail from Transcend CEO, the merge is with Transcription Relief Services.
Don’t put words in my mouth, what I am saying is
I would rather have $5.00 than absolutely no money at all. Anyone who does not understand this has something wrong with them. I do not work for that but she quit her job without anything else no now 0 money. Now do you understand?
I think it's somebody running their mouth
nm
Also, most of these positions are word of mouth.
You do not see these positions advertised because it is about knowing each other and word of mouth.
You took the words right outa my mouth!

The reason people bad mouth them is
because not everyone has it as peachy as you do. Some are constantly in the c-pool or run out of work. Some have PS's that do not communicate anything. Some have ASR accounts that are so bad they have to erase everything and start all over. Some get reprimanded for punching in 5 minutes late while some punch in an hour late and get no discipline.
Some have rad accounts that pay for each separate body part while others lump it all into 1. I don't do rad personally, but I've seen enough of it to know that it doesn't pay fairly - it's by the report with some reports being counted as 1 while some are separated into reports per body part.
While I'm about 75% happy with MQ, there are many that aren't that happy and even some that are happier than that. There are just too many variables at MQ, which is probably what irritates me the most. Second in line is the fact I haven't had a raise in more than 5 years and my current pay rate isn't that great. I personally don't care for E-time (our timecard system), but that's because I don't like any timecard system.
The best advice I can give you is if you are currently employed, do not quit that job until you've tried out the new place for a while and you know it's a good fit. Good luck.
You are putting words in my mouth....sm
so to speak. I never said I have not looked for work while employed or looked for better benefits, platform, etc. And of course I have found companies where the negatives outweighed the positives and caused me to look for work elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with that. What I am against is an MT purposely hiring on simultaneously with multiple companies to weed out those she/he finds unacceptable. To me, that is highly unethical, and I am quite sure most MT companies would agree. In fact, there are some companies that prohibit working for other companies while in their employ.
My whole intent and purpose in posting originally was the hope of shedding a different light on the MT profession, but apparently there are so many here who are so bitter and angry that they refuse to see any other side but their own. Bitterness is a vicious animal that will eat away at you, leaving one empty and desolate while the object of one's bitterness remains unscathed. Do you really think that is the solution to the MT industry's problems?
Yeah, probably spoken from the mouth...sm
of someone who has never suffered ONE SINGLE hardship in her pampered life. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Some of you on this board........you may have it made and do not NEED this job as your sole income. some of you have probably NEVER had a hardship or anything happen to you. If you are fortunate to have never known hunger, poverty, etc.........good for you.
For some of you, this job is just a hobby, for MORE it is something we do because we HAVE TO WORK AND HAVE TO MAKE MONEY, PAY BILLS, EAT, AND ALL the other things that we need just to LIVE.........
another poster shooting off their mouth sm
when they don't have a clue.. I am off today, not that its any of your business. BTW, how do you know how much I am posting if you are not reading? AHHHHHHHH but I guess you can type and read posts too right? Get a life!

These are my figures bases on FT 160 hours.
So if do 20,000 lines per pay period equals
10,000 lines per week = 250 lines an hour per 8 hr (every hour)
you get 7.5 cents a line Woww eee
($1500 a month - so work 40 hours a week X 4 equal 160 hours equal ONLY $9.37 hour for all the skill and accuracy.
I feel your pain! I decided to shut up rather than put up and quit my company. Better places out t

Foot in mouth. Sorry :) I never heard it mentioned.
I thought that Mantis was the OSi platform.
I don't wanna put words in the company's mouth
because I don't know if the insurance type/coverage varies from state to state or not. I have to provide insurance for both my husband and I (through DeVenture) and well, that does take a bite out of the ol' paycheck I must admit. However, when I was getting just coverage for myself, so long as I made 7000+ lines a week, they paid 90% of the cost, and that wasn't too shabbyof a deal at all.
With a Smart A mouth like yours, I woulda charged ya double
LOL...............
thank you! I'll consider that straight from the horses mouth..so to speak.

I've heard good and bad, just want facts from the horses mouth.
I have also heard great things about this company, only recently have I heard bad things. If they post on this message board they supposedly do not offshore work. The moderator would definitely have something to say about that, don't you think?
Does that make sense to you?
With your negative attitude, poor spelling skills and foul mouth,
I'm inclined to side with the MTSO on this one.
I did that, but nothing happened
I have a scroll mouse, but font is still same size. Appreicate the tip, though...never knew that one.
Thanks for posting!
What had happened was, sm
I've known Linda for over a decade now. In the timeline of the article, which is during the time that I've known her, I've only known of Executive Secretarial Services. In many other interviews and articles, she's plainly stated about changing her goals and target market, hence the name change to ExecuScribe to reflect that she's not just a secretarial service. The ESS name can't attract MT clients, and she wanted to open herself up to that market. The articles and a conversation we had both reflect the same.
I think that all of this is a tragedy. This happened 15 years ago and for the RBJ to be rehashing all of this doesn't serve any constructive purpose whatsoever. What it will do is hurt Linda, her clients, her staff, and the community, which could very well trickle down to the MTSOs in our area. She paid her dues and it should have been left alone. The RBJ staff writer was wreckless and irresponsible in bringing this to the forefront. What I can't figure out is how all of this started in the first place, i.e., what made RBJ investigate into their past?
Rochester is dying and has been for years. We have no major or attractive employers anymore except for SMH and the non-degreed positions there are only a tad over minimum wage. Over half of the city population lives in poverty-like conditions and we have one of the highest murder rates in the country. On a national level, she did bring Rochester some recognition and she also provided local jobs.
Again, I think all of this is a mess. You have to admit that Linda's a tough one though. In the article, it stated that she made an "impassioned plea," but it was only ONCE and that was it. She didn't grovel. She's kept her self-respect intact. She's smart and she's also very savvy. She'll pick herself up and dust herself off and go about business. What she did build is very impressive, as have all local MTSOs, which I've had the pleasure of meeting in the past decade.
A lot of people are going to get hurt from this because of careless journalism. The mighty always fall the hardest. I don't think that any of us should rejoice in another's hardship.
this happened at my last job
People were staying up all night working,by the time 8 a.m. rolled around...no work...soooo frustrating for those of us who sleep at night. Had to get away from that, plus the boss had favorites that got all the cake work and the rest of us were stuck struggling with whattever was left over...definitely not an even distribution of work. I asked my boss about it, but of course, I was being crazy....
happens to all... happened to me
But i only was for 2 weeks.
Oh no! Not you too me2!! IT happened to me, too:)
Sorry, but that struck me as funny saying you2 me 2, happened to me2.
Something that has happened to me lately at MDI
I will dial in and get the no more reports message. A few minutes later I will dial in and start getting reports from the night before or whatever, dictated obviously before the last time I dialed in. My question is - where were those reports the first time I dialed in? Do they transfer them off of the hospital system onto MDI's system and maybe they weren't transferred yet? Just puzzles me when that happens and it's happened several times lately.
I'm sorry this happened to you. If it were me, sm
I would resign to keep my record clean, and try like heck to get another job but this time in a hospital or clinic and get my production skills up. If you try and get another job at home (I'm under the assumption you might be a newbie), this could happen again. You don't need that.
As for unemployment payments, I doubt you could get them if you resigned. You'd be better off getting another job right away.
Good luck! I hope things work out for you.
It has happened to me too
Sort of the same thing happened to me as well, right before Christmas, different company though. I had been told prior by someone that my accuracy was at 99%; only to be told by someone different that I was being fired because my quality had gone down over the last few pay periods, but what is odd, is I never got any type of feedback. 
I am still relatively new to this profession--having only graduated in June of 2005. I had also contacted my supervisor and asked how well I was doing prior to the firing, only to be told that I was doing great, and to keep up the good work. Then be e-mailed--not called--but e-mailed stating that I had been terminated effective immediately. That was the worst time to be fired from a job because NO ONE hires right before Christmas, and I am still trying to find another place.
Good luck to you 
This happened to me.
Go to a different branch of your bank and this time DON'T tell them that you had your passcode with the card. They can look up where the money was withdrawn and they will reimburse you (my bank did). Then go to the police and they will send an officer with you to go to the bank wherever the money was withdrawn. A report will be made out and they will check the surveillance tape to see who it was, as long as that ATM has cameras.
Good luck to you! Dont' give up on this.
