Wow..no coffee this morning. I meant "anyone" NOT another. Headed for the coffee pot...right n
I meant your WORK or WORKLOAD. Gads, need more coffee!

It depends on your bank not Keystrokes when they post it. When your bank opens it will be there, ar
Hope this helps. Their payroll department is very efficient. In fact, I feel dumb beside them. Very professional (not that they make me feel dumb).
I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for

Wow, do I need my coffee
Don't know what I initially searched for but did it again and found all kinds of recent posts, sorry. Would still like any other info anyone wants to share.
Just get some more coffee LOL
:)
Exactly why CMT and $1 might get you a cup of coffee but
so that it requires a college education, not some lame exam by AHDI, then yes, it might actually mean something to someone other than AHDI and their cronies. No one else cares, sad truth. We are transcribing medical records of physicians, not creating our own content or treating patients ourselves, and it does not require a college education for most people. Physicians do not see CMT and gush because they probably don't even know what it is. AAMT, err, I mean AHDI is not that well known, not well recognized, or most importantly, not well respected enough to elevate the status of this profession. They are behind a lot of changes implemented that have served to do nothing more than lower the standards for MTs everywhere, in fact. Do your research. Just the fact that AHDI says it's in my best interest proves to me it's not!
Obviously the fat cat needs her coffee
I meant to say in case of a buyout of one of them. I think I am extra scared because of what is happening in California. The whole state is about to declare bankruptcy.
Not any more it won't get you a cup of coffee...
... of course, it won't get you tomorrow's newspaper anymore, either.
I remember when you could get coffee for 10 cents at Sambo's.
Okay, so I'm older than dirt and I just showed my age. :)
Not awake yet..no coffee.. How about That not They... LOL Nm
Wow, I almost spit coffee everywhere!!
How did I miss this story??? I used to work for Transcription Stat and Kim Kaneko. Not surprised this sort of thing caught up with her at all. Can you say line padding? Statute of limitations is up on this and all by now but not surprised to hear about Kim and TS' business as usual. Kim herself wasn't so bad but she had the uncanny knack for hiring the most unstable, mentally ill MTs that were ever forced to work together in one room (no at home MTing at that time).
This raises the question: We all know that insanity doesn't just run through our profession--it gallops full speed ahead!! So, do you think the off-shore MTs are anywhere near as nutty as the US MTs?
A. Of course they are! Who could do this ridiculous profession without being driving quietly insane.
B. Of course they are! And you must be insane yourself to even question this!!
Anyway, thanks for the interesting morning!
Oops, need more coffee
nm
I smell the coffee
:)
Whoops, the cat needs more coffee!
I meant to say if we really are PROFESSIONALS, not PROFESSIONS. Too early on this coast! :)
Excuse my typos. Not enough coffee yet! :) nm

I'm not a coffee drinker either, but a travel
mug is good to drink anything if you are going to have it sitting on your desk beside your equipment while you work.
Sorry, I had not had coffee when I responded earlier ... sm
best of luck to you too. I'm sorry that you are having to go through all this. I think most of us just want to work hard and do a good job and be treated fairly by our employers. Seems so simple, but in my experience it has been hard to find. I'm moving on and hopefully will have found a better employer.
snarf - coffee up the nose
Sorry it was like that BUT thanks for a great story to cheer up a gray monday morning!
OH MY.. how about GRATEFUL..not grated.. I need MORE COFFEE. LOL NM
nm, i must have been doing something wrong, now there's a bunch, thanks! more coffee.....
..
I think they are waking up and smelling the coffee
I think it is a combination of getting caught up with new hires and realizing they are losing good MTs over the mandatory OT. I have a feeling they have lost quite a few recently. No company in their right mind makes their entire crew work OT for 4-5 months. That is crazy! I'm still planning on leaving because I dread next summer. Just taking my time shopping around the right company for me.
No problem. Before coffee .. thought I was
just a little confused there! You mean I'm not the only Wendy out there?
Those coffee cups were re-runs, they sent them out
XX
Smelling the coffee and not the roses.
Many of us have traversed the slippery slope of mergers and none of them worked well for most. Having any feelings of guilt is ridiculous. This is not your fault. Your company sold out, took the money, banked it and gave you a cute little thanks for a job well done, if that. Transcend may or may not prove to be a good fit. I know so many who have found that not to be so with rigid policies and the overall feeling that you can be replaced in a minute. My advice is to keep you eyes and ears open and to decide for yourself based on the way you are treated and your work load and whether or not YOU decide this is a good fit. We can still determine our own destinies but we have to step up and quietly take control of it alone and without much fanfare. Further to that you best learn what is going on in the industry and prepare for more technical changes and an increase in templating or VR. Learn all you can so that you approach a new employer with solid skills. Many smaller companies have not prepared for this and do not have the cash or the heart to move it forward and thus you are now swimming with the sharks. Take a deep breath and market yourself just like the suits do. Good luck with it as luck is also part of the mix.
VR... no coffee for me... bleeding fingers
I have been reading a lot of the posts to get the gist of VR and the line rate and the different programs. I just started a new job about 2-3 weeks ago and as of today I am finally getting up my speed on the VR... takes a while to learn those short cuts!. However, the pay is very low and I am evaluating whether I will stay or not. I am readlly between a rock and a hard place and SO need to supplement my income from my SS widow benefits.
The company that hired me has 2 programs, one of them being EScript that you are all talking about that the words are just flying by while you drink coffee. I'm lucky if I can get up to get a cup!! I am using Enterprise Express Editor for mostly speech and very little text (which pays better by the way). Has anybody heard of this VR that I just mentioned? I would love to just put my feet up and relax a bit while the words are flying by.
Hey coffee lady MssIndigo!
I got a kick out of reading your original post about VR and I appreciate this feedback also. I know, it's though though and I have been an MT for 20 years. I thought I was going to be transcribing when I got the job but it is mostly VR and my minimal goal is to achieve 250 lph, which is creeping up, but not there yet. I tell you though... I work hard for that money. My biggest thing with any new company is constantly looking up docs and different facilities. If not for that, my fingers would be flying. Let us all hang in there with a sip of coffee every now and again, eh!
It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
I should say SHOPS at Wal-Mart --- Even Starbucks gets their coffee elsewhere!

Wake up and smell the coffee - dahhhhhh - NM
NM
doesn't even buy you a cup of coffee these days...don't bother.
nm
I don't agree - you need to smell entire coffee pot
You don't know most men in this country...that would be a fact.....and in today's world, some of us prefer the foreign men, after decades of American ones. It takes all kinds to make up an entire world and then an entire planet.
Live Globally, Dream Universally.....
Clanks Coffee Cup (throws boa across shoulder)
PERFECT! Perfect. Made me laugh out loud!! Thanks, MT!
LOL. And to make it worse, most coffee comes through New Orlean ports,
nm
fingers not working properly. Please ignore the typos. Need my coffee.

Starbucks coffee is burnt, you clean the tables, you serve yourself

I know Webmedx has a time clock - with MQ I put laundry in, got coffee, loaded DW (sm)
went to the bathroom, etc. without clocking out and still kept my lines per hour up just fine. With Webmedx do you clock out for all these little things or as long as you get lines per payperiod or per hour it works out?
Acusis sent out nice ceramic coffee mugs with lids. :-) nm
where is the job bank? please? nm
nm
OSI has no PTO bank
OSI has no PTO banks and has stopped paying extra for holidays. You will be paid extra only if you type minimum line quota which is impossible because there is never any work on holidays.
So what companies have PTO banks or other benefits for holidays? That was the question. Thank you.
Oh sure, I'm the CEO and I own a bank, and part of the
London Bridge, and all that good stuff. SHEESH! You all ask for some good things about the company, but through your crystal ball you see the future. I still say, go ahead and leave...you'll find out soon enough that all is not well with other companies. I know - I've BTDT. EVERY company has editing positions now - it's the next phase of transcription, but never ever will ALL transcription be done by this method. I will continue to transcribe with a POSITIVE attitude, while you and your "Current Transcender" buddy leave and live with a NEGATIVE attitude. Good luck to you!
Your bank should cover you for the
fraudulent use of your card. In the meantime, please file a police report on your daughter's friend. The ATM should have photos of her. Good luck to you--that's awful.
It's in their bank account, not yours
I, too, struggled with the 401K plan at Medware because they are about 6 months behind in making the employee contribution. I finally withdrew from the plan because I could save more money on my own.
post is still in the job bank
nm
It is DD and usually in my bank on Saturday before
.
Depends on your bank

Job Seekers/Job Bank
I never really noticed how many were coming on a daily basis before. They obviously haven't flocked to the other board. I think they have 7 postings for the whole month. Maybe companies just aren't hiring as much right now. I didn't notice the Job Bank before you said that. I never even think to look there. Maybe companies aren't thinking to post there, either.
you called their bank or yours?
x
I wonder if it is a bank thing?
See if they release the deposit before 2pm on Friday I get it on Saturday, but if they released it after 2pm I would not have gotten it until Monday. Maybe it is a bank thing?
mtjobs.com and the job bank here..sm
Both have employee jobs listed. I know Med-Scribe, Focus (don't automatically count them out, not all have had bad experiences), WebmedX, eTransPlus and a couple others are hiring employees.
Could the MT also take it to a branch of the bank...
On which it was drawn, and would it then be stamped NSF? I was thinking it might save her some money for that bounce-back NSF fee, provided it's drawn on a national bank like BofA or WF where there might be a branch close to her home.
I've never had to do this (thank goddess!), so I'm kind of taking a shot in the dark here.
I got a travel mug! I work at HOME. I drive 10 miles a week. I don't drink coffee. Sheesh! lo
