In Reply to: I worked RAD there once and started 1st shift. n/m - anon
I work Monday through Friday only, 1st shift, do 125-130 reports a day by the end of my shift, sign off and have a life. I need time for gardening, shopping, Grey's Anatomy and MTStars!

Just started and yes, we are out of work
The secondary account that I have is such a lousy platform its impossible to make money on anyway. Luckily I took KS as an extra acct for myself.
Just started myself - steady work - and I do work

I haven't even started work yet, but I have
to say I am SO impressed with this company. Pay is better than average, pay for OT (the last 2 companies I have only been paid normal line rate for extra lines), shift differential. Insurance starts the first day of the month after being hired, so no 90 day waiting period. They may 50% of 401K up to 6%. There is a 90-day waiting period for the 401K and some of the benefits. Free vision insurance. The medical/dental insurance is better than any I have seen and it is very reasonable. I currently have insurance through my husband's company and while the premium is reasonable the insurance isn't very good, high deductible, high co-pay. Their insurance is much better and I think premium is only $10/more than what we are currently paying.
Direct deposit. They supply computer/equipment. I don't have personal experience with the platform yet, but it sounds user friendly. They do expect you to work your schedule.
They train you on your shift, so that if you work third shift you don't have to train 1st shift, they will train you on third shift. Paid for 4 hours of training at 13.50.
I am so excited about starting with them. They did not have an ad running when I applied, but according to their website they were hiring and I submitted my resume. They have testing through a third-party company. Testing is timed and one section gave me a little bit of trouble, but the transcription part was easy and not the horrible dictation that you often get. I don't know if it actually represents their dictation since it is done through a third party and the dictation files I'm sure are subject to change.
I started on Editscript and still work on
Editscript now two years later. That pay rate is a slap in the face to you and an insult to the rest of us. I certainly can't tell you what to do, but I can assure you that you will not make any money at that line rate. At the end of a very long day, you will be lucky to have made $15.00. I would not start for less than 4 cpl minimum and that only works out if you are fast and rack up a lot of lines daily, which will take a while.
I always have enough work on it and have been on it since it started 3 years ago. sm
I do a minimum of 100 minutes every day. My goal is 120 minutes every day but I am not as fast as I once was. I do not run out of work on there but I work 2nd shift, which might be the reason. Glad you got an account you like better. I personally love this one because of the doctors, except one.
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
I have work - started an hour late, though.

I work there, and a friend of mine just started. It took RO
about a week for her to hear back. Good luck! :-)
You obviously do not work there. They started paying the extra a while back for OT. sm

I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

Just started with DSG not too long ago and finding a shortage of work right now. Do they overhire
sometimes or what. Seems it goes in spells. Anyone seeing the same thing right now. This started before the holiday time.
if you are open to another
company that hires part-time and pays PTO (with PT), e/m me.
Don't be so down on yourself. When that even better job comes open...sm
you'll be ready. No biggie, and don't let the meanies get to you. We all make mistakes, no one is perfect.
She did say she would call you when the next job came open. In the meantime, maybe call her back and ask her to make sure she calls your land line as it is the one you use most.
It won't open for me either.

Are your eyes open?
Do you work for OSi? If not, quit bashing them. If so, why haven't you secured another position due to your unhappiness?
why they keep amherst open
amherst office runs all of the east coast offices. So you are probably safe if you tell HR you want to be managed by the west coast team. I think they are much nices to their MTs
keep your ears open
things are being restructured,it will most likely affect your office.
Still cannot open the files
The people at Type Right mentioned that they use Gear Player and that is what I use and I still cannot open up the files. I called technical support and they could not figure it out either. They said the files were corrupted. Sounds like something strange is going on if the rest of the people cannot open up the files either. I think I better pass on this company!
they have my open position at TTS
I QUIT! LOL
here's an open post for you
you are an idiot
No, I mean 60 positions open
and available for filling. Even if she meant 16, that is quite a bit. Again, more information available upon (E-mail) request.
keep your options open
nm
open letter
You could not said it any better.!!!!
The HR is not open on weekends nm
nm
go open your own company and sm
maybe then you can give all your profits to the MTs. NOT! I bet you would be like any other business owner, keep the profits. That is the point of having your own business!
Okay, lets get something in the open. (sm)
I am so not stressing about it. It was a random question because I have been lied to in the past about having to take a pay cut. Was it really a true need or a true greed?
Lets not fight about. There is nothing wrong with wondering.
Always keep an open mind, but...
Been here, done this several times, none have resulted in mutual benefit. My position, Transcend has much to prove.
P.
I always keep an open mind
I kept an open mind when the company I worked for (ddi, Inc) sold out to the Q. It was fine for a couple of years and then......well, I wasn't there anymore, need I say more?
I see that open door
Yeah, I'll just get in line behind 10 former teammates that just got the ax, all the MDI'ers looking for a new gig, and locally, the 450 people whose plant just closed. Once I get through that crowd, I can then compete with my current teammates who are also looking for a second job/replacement job because they are eyeying the open door too, in between competing with one another for work.
Once I claw my way through the desperate crowd of job seekers and into another job, I can wait a year or so, run across the same scenario at the next company, and start looking for work again when their work pool mysteriously dries up.
Or I could just blow my brains out and avoid repeating this loathesome, demoralizing cycle for the next 20 years until I'm retirement age. Thanks for helping me ponder my options.
Which three offices will remain open?
Do you know?
I would open the discussion by calmly
asking what the procedure is for assigning work. If you don't get the info you need, ask if there are any other accounts available which will enable you to be more productive. If you are working in an atmosphere where you are afraid to ask questions, it sounds like the wrong job and you might need a change. Good luck.
Does anyone have the # to Spheris Help Desk? My TWS will not open. TIA

They have a recruiter position open that they
are advertising for.
I couldn't even get their test to open for me so I could take it.

Be aware of the open medical
in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Be very aware of the supervisor. Not a good place. Three new employees, all three walked within the first six months. Just thought I would put a warning out!!!
open letter to Diskriter
You are having such a horrid time filling those job positions that I am willing to give it a go, but only for 12 cpl. Let me know. Yours very truly.
You're SO right! Not only China, but now the US has an open (sm)
trade agreement with KOREA... another less-than-scrupulous part of the world.
As for the name of the guy you talked to in India, I have noticed that with Dell Computers. When you get tech support, whether on the phone or by email or instant message, they always have an American-sounding name. That seems purposely deceptive.
It is open to debate, like everyhing else

Well, someone has to be working holidays...ERs are open 24/7/365
If you are doing acute care I think it is just a given that you are going to have to cover some holidays. Just like the doctors, nurses, admissions, and the rest of the hospital staff... someone has to work it. The only holiday I'd mind working actually is Christmas, the rest can be adjusted to fit my schedule. But I am lucky and live close to family and don't have travel concerns. Guess I'll take my extra cpl and be happy with it.
JLG had some positions open last year using WP5.1, too.
s
That was not my case. I was very open-minded
and hopeful that things would work out. I based my decisions soley on my experience and not the experience of others, but like I said AL is good because I'm in a much better place now.
Maybe we should open a margarita stand too .... sm
Crabbing, gourd painting, and bilking tourists might make us thirsty. :-)
Where are you that you are my neighbor? I didn't think anyone close to Kansas would admit it .. LOL.
I can't sleep either, but I think I am just restless. My a/c went out today and the maintenance guy couldn't get it fixed and will have to wait until tomorrow. Add 102 temps to the mix and you have one cranky MT!
I've tried to open it with all these programs?
There isn't any good, but if you will open you post and down
near the bottom in blue is related posts or comments. Click on that and you can read the most recent posts about them.
When I open my mail I am shocked to see so many
mailnotes from my company looking for help! Do they think all we do is sit at our desks and wait for work? Where are they when I log on and there is NOT work ---- for days?
THere is a TON of posts about them recently. Open your
post and near the bottom click on the blue related posts and you'll get the most recent posts.
An opportunity has finally come open-- What would you do?
Okay, I've posted on this forum several times indicating I'm burned out after 32 years of transcribing, and the lack of work at times, diminishing benefits, no 401K and I'm 53 years old, along with my lack of momentum, and such. Well, I have had the opportunity to apply for two outside jobs in my community, both of which sounds promising. 1) A State job as an adiministrative support personnel that has nothing to do with transcription (13 paid holidays, 13 sick days accrual, 13 vacation days accrural, company paid health insurance, company paid retirement plus 401K, and so on)- The catch- pay range 22, 272 - 36,489 . The second 2) A County job at either our local county hospital or county health department as a Medical Transcriptionist (excellent benefits also, but not as good as the State job) but better than what I have now. (The pay 32,400 - 48,500). Which would you choose? I know looking at the pay, one would say that's a no brainer, however, although the county has not outsourced their transcription department over these many years yet, does not necessarily mean they will not in the future, and I would hate to end up right back where I started from, and although the State job pay starts out low, it is possible that they can start me off somwhere in the middle of that range, but the job is a secure one. Give me your ideas on which you would choose?
And I like how they say to keep Word open and type as they come in...sm
Like I am going to sit here for 8 hours and wait for one job an hour to come in and type it right away so it can meet the clients needs. I understand it's slow today cuz of the holidays but sick of their emails telling us we need to be on when they are off and there isn't even work.
