If you don't do it anymore, get off the board. nm

I dont' care to read the packet anymore.t
I was all a twitter when the letter first came, email, whatever,nervous that I was gonna lose my bennies, worked myself into a lather...now I don't give a ****. Let the chips fall, I'll survive it. I even forgot it was October, thanks for reminding me. 6 days until D day. Whatever..
I won't even post on the MQ board anymore...
Its gone far beyond even MQ bashing to MT bashing! Not my cup of tea.
PS: Nice 2 have another GUY on the boards LOL - keep posting! :)
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?
.
I've heard they don't offshore anymore. Don't know if true.

Not Lee. She doesn't come here anymore. Too hard to read the lies from people who were fired fo
poor quality, poor work ethics, cherry picking, disappearing for days on end, not covering their shifts or line counts, crazy HR people (both were nuts and evil).
Good and bad at every company including KST, MQ, Spheris, Transcend, etc.
didn't you read the TOS?
x
I read it . . . didn't see anything bad :)
Unless I missed something. Please clue me in if I did.
Apparently you didn't read them
There are posts from 2008 with plenty of negative info. You should search again and make sure you read them this time.
Didn't have to read beyond the first sentenc....sm
to see that this is not the company for me. I cannot see why companies do not pay for spaces. Well.....I guess I do....it saves them money.....but that's just plain CRAZY! Howwouldtheyliketoseereportsthatlooklikethis?
Thanks for the info. You've helped me make up my mind.
Because YOU didn't read the thread... sm
It wasn't about the hearing test. Holy crap! It was a comment made that a woman's husband's company makes people sign something saying they can go into their past medical history. they don't want to hire them if they think they will make too many insurance claims.
That would unfairly bias the sick and the elderly.
I almost didn't read your post...
... because I thought you were someone asking what it's like to do radiology work at Transcend, and I don't.
But I'm glad I did click to read it, and I'm glad some more of the folks who are happy working at Transcend--and are still working the same accounts with virtually no changes (except good ones) YEARS after their own merger--are coming on board to tell their stories. My own merger (from TRS) was only 5 months ago, and just about all I hear is 'just wait, they'll give your good account to somebody else, they'll move you to something lousy with no work available, they'll make you do speech-wreck, whether you want to or not, and you'll soon be singing a different tune,' that sort of thing.
But beware... you say anything good about Transcend on this board, and you'll soon be labeled a 'suit.'
I am not a suit. I am a pajama. And hey... I could only WISH they'd pay me for all this free positive PR I'm doing..... :)
Perhaps you didn't read all the postings.
Maybe that's what the OP was talking about; we don't know as it could be interpreted either way. However, a subsequent poster did state that she indeed had a company charge her $5 a paycheck for the privilege of having it direct deposited. So maybe you better check your alarm clock.
LOL, guess I didn't read where it said subject (sm)
See, I'm just too dang stressed. Oh well, just don't sell my address, I get enough spam as it is and never read it.
you obviously didn't read my entire response
or can't understand me.
Sorry about that... didn't read the full message!
You can block your e-mail so no one can contact you privately; some people like to be contacted via e-mail, others do not. I am not sure how to do that, but contact the moderator.
Even if you had posted the article, that is fine; I love working for a company that is the #1 publicly traded company in Georgia. Mr. Gerdes just sent out an e-mail stating that we also were ranked highly in Forbes. With all of the horrible economic news, I am glad I work for a stable company. It's not for everyone though - to each his/her own.
From what I have read/heard recently you have
to pay all expenses up front and then submit receipts for reimbursement. I wouldn't do that. They should advance you xx amount of money and then you submit receipts.
Do you read this board at all?
I used to work for MQ and quit for the same reason, twice actually. Those of you who stay busy with MQ and make money, my hat is off to you.
Read the MQ board....
more company-wide changes to come........My days there are numbered. Everyday something else happens that pushes me just a little closer to leaving.
Just read the MQ board.

You must not read this board very often
Otherwise you would know transcription is NOT easy money and you sit for hours and hours and have to work weekends, holidays. Even though I don't do it anymore I visit this board. After 10 years it's the same gripes and complaints. You will bust your butt for 9 cents a line and no benefits. Good luck - this type of work is not for everyone.
I heard she didn't turn him in when another MT
Not sure what that had anything to do with the AC. Wasn't like she was directly involved. Besides, what happens outside of work is no one else's business. In with the bad....out with the good......
I should have read the plan closer. Didn't know about the PTO restriction. Thanks.
Figures..
I think you better learn to read better, I didn't say I don't work weekends
I said I get to spend more time with my family by working 3rd shift on the weekends and evenings. I have to work either a Sun-Thur or Tues-Sat shift just like any normal MT who cares about the company they work for and their TAT requirements.
honestly, no I didn't read. Pretty sure I'm quitting NM
remember, (I'm sure you don't remember :) just saying, I went through this with Spheris, stuck it, ended up leaving anyway
Has anyone here ever read the message board
It's pretty interesting in that some posts have been made in regard to stocks being valuable based on the MTs. One even said that As long as there is cash in the bank and transcriptionists transcribing it remains a viable opportunity. I wonder if they know all the problems with keeping transcriptionists transcribing there. I also wonder if that post came from Transcend management.
I read yesterday on another MT board that they only pay 6 CPL.

Racism on this board -- Everyone read
Offshoring is one of the sorest subjects for MTs currently.
Remember, however, that we just cannot tolerate racism on this board. It is your businesses and government that are doing this -- pushing for it, allowing it, promoting it.
Keep racist remarks off the board, period. Racism is hate speech and it will not be tolerated.

My advice, go to MQ board and read a while. (nm)

Go to MQ board and read notice of new
bonus policy, came down yesterday. Judge for yourself.
Have you read the posts on the MQ board?? You might

You don't have to read the entire board there
certain company. There's no reason for you to be rude, she or he is just trying to help! I'm one of those MTs that is fed up with the B.S. being fed to us by these we strictly hire U.S. MTs only companies.
Best read the comments on this board first!

You can tell they read this board. The production

Just read the Medquist board.

if you ever read the posts over on the MQ board sm
lots of those folks didn't believe what they were told either. It just took a few years to really hit them. Now they are all screaming.
The poster has a right to post what she did. The other posters also have a right to post the positive posts they have. I am glad they did post. I just wish I had known all this before I went to work for LM, I would have weighed all this out and been more careful as far as looking for signs that I was not going to get paid, i.e., I wouldn't have done as much work the first pay period until I saw that I did get paid on time.
Read their ad on job board, 3 years minimum. nm
Read down the board back through T'Giving.

I just left MQ after 12 years, read their board before
thinking about them.
You need to read the ad on Job Seekers board for QA person. huh? nm

Read their board. I left after almost 12 years. (nm)

No..go back and read your comments on MQ board
they speak for themselves.
Just read the posts on this board from SS Management
It's obvious NOTHING HAS CHANGED AT ALL! Rude, stupid people running this company. That's why they have such a high turnover. They can't keep anyone! Hello! I mean, look, this is a good example of how dense the mgt of SS is: They post awful, rude, childish CRAP on this board and then try to tell you, oh, things have changed, it's not like that anymore. Yeah, right...
All Company Board Posters Read
I have removed a thread about Acusis because it was practically 100% absorbed into nothing but hateful rumor and personal attacks of one individual at the company and too much identifying information.
Do not identify people by initials, names or other descriptive information about individuals. Stick to topics about companies, issues, etc., but we will not be tolerating personal attacks on anyone.
While I generally try to use a temporary ban to get your attention for such posting violations, banning for this type of attack will be slower to lift.
Please be responsible with posting in leaving out information about others individuals, internal/privileged information, etc.

I know they read this board and giving them a heads up on...sm
this problem may help everyone. An employee gets taxes and benefits paid by the employer, equal to about 25% of their line rate, 8 cents a line plus 25% equals over 10 cents a line. An IC can deduct that 25% because they have to pay all taxes and don't get any benefits, thereby making their line rate lover than 8 cents, in the range of 6 cents a line. Get it? It costs the MTSO MUCH less to hire ICs, and then they want you to commit to a schedule.
Please - all posters on Company board read.
I just wanted to clarify something with everyone in hopes to ensure we all are on the same page.
I have deleted some posts that were correcting grammar/spelling, etc., as those are not allowed. I usually will place a temporary ban on a poster in order to stop them and tell them in my action reason why I deleted/banned their post/privileges and ask that if they will abide I will remove the ban. For 99% of posters, this works well as they were not aware that it was a problem or that we are serious about it, at least. However, there are posters on occasion who resort to calling me names and who rant over the morality of some posts left on the board and try to enforce THEIR views or to allow them to pick/choose which posts should remain or even to excuse them from their unwillingness to abide by guidelines. Not happening!
We do not moderate any of the boards for niceness, for ethics, for morals, for specific opinions. We DO moderate for name-calling (troll, liar, or foul names), for posting privileged or private information, for spelling/grammar policing, etc. All opinions are welcome here. Stick to posting about topics, etc.
I just wanted you to know that MTStars does protect YOUR right to express your opinions here - regardless of what perspective it comes from - as long as posting guidelines are upheld. This means that you may well find posts that are offensive to you - just skip them, leave them alone. Stick to discussing or even debating topics but leave the personal attacks alone.
Thank goodness that we do not moderate by any one person's opinion of what is nice or not, right or not, appropriate or not, moral or not!

Yes, so that those who didn't see the post on the Company board may see it on the
Main board. What's wrong with that? Isn't that ok to do?
They told the board administrator that they didn't
offshore, when there was proof that they did. Whether or not they posted the other stuff I don't know, but they lied and got caught at it and if that doesn't make them look bad, considering how sensitive an issue offshoring is, I don't know what will. They probably didn't think they would get caught.
I haven't heard anything except on this board SM
Has anyone (other than the previous poster a week or so ago) called WebMedX to see if they are hiring for the account?
It's amazing to read this board and see how many rotten MT companies there are out there!
What the heck happened to this business!
It's amazing to read this board and see how many rotten MT companies there are out there!
Only if you believe what you read on this web site. Personally, I would not put one ounce of thought into what someone anonymously writes.
