Oops typo! meant "in there"
nm
BTW I meant "In transcription I have" sorry for typo.
I guess you both hit a nerve with me here and my fingers went faster than my brain. Sorry!
But then you would be "in the know" and
they cannot have that. Personally I like being left alone because the more contact I have with them, the more I hate the company and my job!
How are you "in the know".....
Just curious how you are in the know. They are definitely keeping within TAT, so it seems.
playing* oops

Thanks for playing our game!
And all you get is this lousy :) icon
hee hee
Then instead of playing their game, just come out

If you think LT is playing slots, you don't know her at all. sm
Now go crawl back in your hole. Obviously you have nothing better to do than spout lies. At least we all get a laugh.
I live "in the sticks", too....sm
and I use satellite for my internet connection. The only problems I have had in the 2+ years that I have had it are connectivity problems when the weather is extremely bad (in which case, one should not be on the computer anyway) and I have had 3 service calls, mainly related to wiring and improper initial installations issues. Other than that, it has worked well for me. However, there are some companies who do not accept satellite....JLG and TRS come to mind, although there are probably others. You just have to check out the ads and go from there. Best to ya!
living "in the sticks"
I too live where there is no DSL or cable option. I use wild blue satellite. It is fairly affordable, though more expensive than DSL, but it works great - I started out downloading with dial up, and the difference is wonderful. You can Google search wild blue to check out the service closest to you.
If you like playing telephone tag after all that, I didn't. nm

Not playing devil's advocate but something
...is that companies don't have nearly as much latitude to make exceptions to their policies as we might like to think.
This is due to the litigious environment that employment law has become over the last few decades. If you deviate from your formal policies or procedures, you will discover that you can be sued by other employees (or even former employees) for whom you did not make the same exception.
So, corporate counsel routinely advise their clients: Set a policy and then stick with it 100% because you're opening Pandora's box if you don't.
Sad, but very true.
John Brown is just playing with you.
He said, NOT OFFERING A JOB.

I have worked at MQ before and I would say that HIS has them beat when it comes to playing dirty!!

Lucky at-homers' - no "in-office" abuse
It's a nasty tradeoff: Work from home and receive less pay and benefits, or work at the office and receive higher pay and benefits while being berated, verbally abused and micromanaged at the office.
Screw the benefits - I'll take a peaceful life ANY day.

Oh, I am playing with the "big boys" and have been doing this for 25 years darling!
You do not know it all, though may think so! I was just trying to let you know, some hospitals will honor your invoicing methods and pay you on time. Now, that may depend on whether your invoice goes through the purchasing department as a vendor or through the department in which you contract.
Not to mention managers playing on the darn thing

notice the words "in my opinion" haha...WMX was awful for me
you are not going to bully me, I got enough of that at WMX
Transcend is playing games, giving gift cards
and doing contests (poetry) and others. There is a contest for a big screen TV.
Transcend cares about its employees
I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for

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 tried it, but it kept dropping my calls. nm

Ah, so you are the reason I got so many calls
about my schedule and getting stats assigned to me allll day long!! LOL! You know who I am, basically in the same boat, and that I applaud them for the same understanding you described 
phone calls
Is anybody transcribing for Steve who had the 15,000+ 3-5 minute phone calls between docs and patients, I believe? Just wondering if your making good money or not? Thx
phone calls
Oh my God I am and no I'm not making good money. I wish I had never started this job!!!How many did you get? I got 500 and I have a full-time job?
well, what do you want...phone calls?
They have to get you when they need you somehow.
conference calls
I hate them, hate them, hate them.
I have worked a few places where conference calls were utilized and INVARIABLY they covered things that could easily have been covered in a memo, in a couple of paragraphs even, only the call would last half an hour to an hour. They were always a COMPLETE waste of time. Paid or not, they were just unbearable.
Conference calls
This just goes to show that not all things suit all people. As for me just give me the work and LEAVE ME ALONE! If there is something I'm doing wrong by all means tell me. One of my new accounts I WAS doing something wrong because I didn't understand how to attach a deficiency. I received a very nice e-mail telling me how it was done and I sent back one saying to let me know if I was still doing it wrong. Got back a very nice e-mail (from Q.A.) telling me to do #1, #2, #3. I got it. Nothing more needed. As for conference calls, I MIGHT tolerate one once a year, IMHO a total waste of my valuable time. I'm happy for you that you went back to your former employer, by all means BE HAPPY, whatever it takes.
No more calls, please. We have a winner.

I thought in one of the calls they
said we would be staying on the accounts we are on with the same platform!? I must have totally misunderstood that... Did anyone else think that, too, or was it just me??
how do you get calls from "all over the country" sm
if you don't advertise or anything? Wow, you must be out of this world!
Has anyone that has posted your resume on here ever gotten any calls out of it or what should I
expect.
Poopy.. why don't you just tell the person that calls
that you already worked 40 hours for the week? Is that so hard?
LATE NIGHT CALLS
Call blocking instructions are in your phone book. These vary from company to company. Check you phone bill and see what numbers they are using (probably more than one line there). If this fails and they keep calling (imagine how many lines they actually have) then send them a formal letter stating your problem with their phone harrassment and the exact days and hours of their callsand cc it to all their clients. Maybe they are hurting for transcriptionists and hope you have changed your mind by now or that, gee, now that you're awake you might as well type? If anything, this should cure you of them forever and everyone who read your post will remember! I once had a friend (actually a really nice lady) who had a similar problem (although ot with SPi) that went on for a year. They woke up her kids and husband, her dog, her cat and she looked so bad from lack of uninterrupted sleep. That was in the olden days before caller ID and call blocking. She finally had another friend convince her to hand out THEIR numbers to car salesmen and insurance salesmen, etc. That was really harsh, but the calls she got soon stopped and it was apparent that because they stopped that all along they were consciously and deliberately calling her. Another tactic might be to change your phone number. Good luck.
Yes we got paid for conference calls
.
I always get paid for conference calls.

Well, we seem to get nothing but pladitudes on the conference calls, sm
so honestly, I was hoping to get some sort of info on here. There are a lot of DSGers who are upset and frustrated and could very well jump ship. Then they will have no one but newbies and what will that do to the TATs. I seems to me that a little honesty about what is going on and what is being done about it would go a long ways towards fostering loyalty. Of course, that is just my opinion.
Yeah, the recruiter calls me up,
calls me by my first name and starts chatting. (I wonder who on earth she is?) When I finally establish that she is an SGS recruiter and start asking serious questions she becomes rude and I tell her thank you but I really am not interested. Guess she forgot to go to charm school.
When I worked with her, she made calls
to people when there were backlogs to get more help. She used to ask me what she could do/offer me to get me to come onboard full-time, so I always figured she was in upper management in order to be able to offer that.
We find out how much of a pay cut on the calls tomorrow.
It'll go the way of the others, no more than 50%.
That explains my unanswered phone calls. nm

Not always an option; my supes don't want calls at either of my MTSOs. nm

Sounds a lot like the Webmedx conference calls.

The short answer is because we get the backlash from these. We get calls from MT's who sm
have had a bad experience somewhere and act like we owe them the world, even though we have never even talked them before. I don't lurk on this board. I come here for information and make posts and help on the word boards. I come to find out about changes such as new equipment and software and opinions on different software.
Perhaps we are all generalizing too much. My request would be for MT's to realize that all companies are not bad and while you may have a bad experience somewhere, it does not mean that you will have the same experience at my company.
Generalizing all Mom-and-Pops together is also not fair. Everyone has to start small and some of us plan on growing. Right now, I have 20 MT's but I want to double that or even triple that and I come here to find out the best ways to get and keep employees. It would be nice to ahve someone come to me and say that they are looking for a change without assuming we are going to be as bad as the company they just left.
Were their new venture capitalists, er, partners, on the calls?
Should be very interesting.
Make the right phone calls and report her

It took me 9 weeks and 2 phone calls to get my check.
I had to leave voice mails and no calls ever returned, but I finally got my check. I knew someone who was still waiting after 12 weeks.
