In Reply to: maybe he made it look like an accident so his - life insurance would still pay out.
Obviously, I wouldn't be around for the embarrassment, but you'd think he'd think about his family. I am sorry he is dead ... and really sorry that it happened under such freaky circumstances.

You talk about stage where MTSO knows they are interested in me. What about the stage where I know
:P
Accident? I think not.
I thought the same thing...I don't think it was an accident at all. I think it was a wake up and smell the roses e-mail stating that either the current MTs get their butts in gear or we WILL keep outsourcing. I am still with Medware and will hang the last dog with them because I don't have any problems with anyone there. If my pay is cut or I run out of work then that's another story. I have many, many leads with smaller companies and that may be where I'll end up. For now I'll stick it out and if they want to get rid of me, that's their problem. Good luck to all other Medware MTs.
I was PAST the application stage.
I wanted to know if DRC was now OWNED by Acusis..that's it...jeesh
Personally, I don't want to work under an Indian company. Been there, done that. Thanks for the info.
maybe he made it look like an accident so his
isnt it true that if you kill yourself, your life insurance is void?
We were in a car accident, transported to the ER
I had fractured ribs and my husband had terrible contusions in his eyes from the airbags. When we were discharged from the ER, we were told to see our family physician immediately in the morning for further orders. I called the Dr. only to be told that he doesn't take PIP insurance. I asked her (the secretary) what we should do and she flat out told us that we would have to go to the emergency room since he no longer takes PIP because he doesn't get paid. We changed doctors that same day.
Been there. Honeymoon stage with eTrans lasted 1 week. Not there any more...nm

That should not be "try", they did delete my file and said it was an accident. nm

It's time to get involved in
politics and vote for the candidates who have a plan fixing the health care mess. They won't bother if we just sit on our thumbs and wish for a miracle. The corporations are right up in their faces with their needs and wishes, we need to be also.
The hospital involved
used at service with work at home MTs, for one thing. It was a complex case, but several people at several levels did not follow rules and regs.
Too many companies involved & they sm
will make the choice not to deal with unionized workers. There is no law forcing any company to become a union shop and I doubt seriously any of them would. That is why a union cannot work for transcriptionists.
I was not involved in any posts at all, but ICs
I am not interested in ICing at the moment, but those who do IC work have the right to be upset at this who work as supposed ICs, yet let their employer -- note that I used this word intentionally - they let their employers dictate the hours to work, the lines to produce, and hold them to a set schedule. This is the polar opposite of what an IC is. When MTs do not realize this and happily accept these illegal working conditions, it ruins the IC marketplace for the rest of the ICs. One company gets away with it and the next one follows suit. That's how we got in the mess we are in today. When an IC says yes to a set schedule set forth by their employer, and is told how many lines to type, etc, it is 100% an employee position - the MTSOs just get their cake and get to eat it too, by having MTs, women, at their beck and call as employees when they have no legal right to do so. Everyone loses - the ICs, the MTs and the other MTSOs who are following the laws. The more ICs who are ignorant of the situation, the less true IC positions will be left. Our freedom to work as IC is literally just about the last perk most of us has left. It should not be taken away by fellow MTs who have not a clue of the laws and how it should be. So, yes, its a very very important issue and one that we should all understand and support, whether employee right now or IC. It impacts our entire industry.
Jay Vance is involved, so it must be good.

Dislike it, too. Much too involved, too many choices, etc. nm

Man, the testing for these services is involved. nm

seems a little *helium* involved in this response..sm
geez, not to mention some pretty snitty answers.
Yes, I know. Our hands have been tied. I'm sorry for all involved. :( nm

I usually would not get involved in this type of conversation, BUT...lm
Your reference to the Mexicans doing work the US citizens do not want to do is WAY off the mark. If the wages were as they used to be before US employers found that the Mexicans would work for lesser wages and be happy, US citizens WOULD do the work. The same applies to the MT work - were it not sent off shore at a ridiculously acceptable and low wage, MTs in the US would be much happier. With such an attitude, I fully predict that the poor class in the US will rise to meet that of other third-world countries - and your attitude about oh well, that's just the way things are now is exactly one of the reasons this type of working condition is being allowed to happen here on our own soil! Working for a foreign employer is a choice that few US MTs with good work habits and skills is willing to make - and that, in my opinion, should speak volumes! Just because you are willing doesn't make it wrong for others who do not. Just my opinion!!
I wasn't involved in the thread and don't
know what you are talking about, but we do have freedom of speech. You can vote to get a post deleted by clicking on the blue vote/moderate button. It takes 10 votes to get post removed - not 10 votes from same person though.
How did Transtech get involved in this conversation?

You needn't be so smug. I'm not involved at all, other than reading
It takes no guts at all to come on and cheer for your company - any company, and even use your name. Kudos to you, and mgmt will be tickled. It does, however, takes guts to come on here and post, even anonymously, about negatives with a company, any company. I would assume from the postings that the person you are trying to "call out" is a current employee. First of all, you all know that even Larry reads this board regularly, along with all his "eyes" as in MTs. They even discuss it via interoffice email. Second, if said employee is complaining currently about certain issues that are causing his/her unhappiness, he/she will be easily identified by the postings. Its a no brainer. Then Transcend will be all over his/her butt, threatening whatever they want to threaten. I am an ex-employee with Transcend, and I even have to watch what I say regarding my 100% total negative experience, as I don't want them honing in on me, either. Finally, it is just so ignorant to make blanket statements about any complainers who are "vague" as being job-hopping malcontents. I can assure you that one thing that bothered me BIG time about Transcend was how they treated me differently, as in preferential, as a new hire compared to what was supposedly required on hire, i.e. working set shifts, etc. After I was hired and not happy with a set schedule, I was allowed to do what I wanted when I wanted to. That info alone will identify who I amt to my account supes. I was shocked at getting that preferential treatment myself, and that had the opposite impact on me - it made me wonder who WAS getting what and why! And you act as if thousands and thousands of happy Transcend employees are reflective of the health of the company. It is a tiny company in the big picture. When I hired on, I had the impression Transcend was HUGE - right up there with MQ and Spheris, but there are only a 300 employees? If that? Larger than a small MTSO, but nowhere near the volume of the big guns. I also had an account that had mandatory overtime - mandatory, while others had no work, etc. Just wasn't my "fit", but that doesn't mean I'm a job hopping loser MT. Quite the contrare'! So, lighten up on the poster who has graciously told you over and over that he/she doesn't want to post details, and get off your high horses! One can get bucked off easily when riding too high! Or hit in the neck with a branch!
why does this matter so much to you? Are you personally involved or affected?
It seems like you are being vindictive. This was all 15 years ago but you are dragging it up over and over. Perhaps you are jealous of how she turned her life around. Have you never made a mistake?
Past posts said they involved the owner. nm

Tapes? So there is shipping involved too? Yikes nm
dd
MTSOs are the bosses; MTs are the employees. There is no friendship involved. nm
nm
No, we did not give out information. No court order involved. sm
Obviously, TT was able to look at the information provided in the posts and determine who they FELT were making the posts.
No information has been given out by MTStars on this situation whatsoever.
Move on.

They are cruising for a bruising! I got a check from another co when the labor board got involved
NM
I completely concur. Find a good one, or move on, quickly. No loyalty involved. The don't sm
have any to the MTS. NONE of them.
Becoming certified, anyone know if there is more money involved in being a certified MT versus non
certified.
