Can you say where you work if you get assigned docs/accts.? I'm tired of this pool garbage/left
s
No one believes a recruiter. They all lie, and the reality of the job is very different. sm
Can you say used care salesman. Can you say bait and switch? Just post your company website, so we can see what the actuality is, please. Do not waste your time dissing the applicants. You really do not have a huge field of qualified applicants to choose from, as we all know.
Hmmm... maybe not everyone believes everything negative put forth here
and I know I don't :)
I TAKE IT BACK and apologize. Someone out there truly believes we are
worth something. I think we have all been taken so many times and have become so paranoid that people are taking advantage of our desperation and vulnerability, we sometimes forget to people there are people out there that still value us and not DE-value us. Apologies to Ms. Reed!!!!
garbage NO MORE
Sorry I offended you percy I was only having a little punctuation fun. I did not take into account the hypersensitivity of those with low self image. On your second point, I agree people need to see a variety of opinions about the companies - no individual's opinion is worth more than another's.
No they don't. Cut the garbage.
xx
actually, it was my ER doc who said VR was garbage...
to tell you the truth and he said he hated the system, hated using it, hated the results and all the errors even though it had been edited by professional MTs.
You did say "because I was new Garbage"
That was not very complimentary to yourself but I think we get the gist. You are not the first person to complain about this company so we heard you loud and clear. You post did make me laugh and that's good too..
Nothing has changed, same old garbage
day in and day out. Just no raises.
U kiddin?? When U get the same garbage over and over, you just KNOW that

So now we have to put up with this foreign garbage.... sm
undercutting us and taking our work with such poor grammar? You've got to be kidding. This is ridiculous.
If you click on that job listing, at the bottom of the page is a moderator link. Click on that and it will bring up all the moderators e-mails. Let's all e-mail them with thumbs down and get these messages removed.
Red angry smiley face to these moderators and definite thumbs down.
That's because they know what a garbage account it is!
It's always amazing to me what MTs will put up with. Don't let them bully you! I would refuse to work on this account too.
VR is garbage, for the most part.
is that it's that whole 'guys and gagets' thing. Most big companies, hospitals are run by guys, and guys just love their toys!
Look at the cars they buy. The computers. The cameras and camcorders. The more bells and whistles, the better. Never mind if they'll never use them, or if they don't work so well. They just WANT 'em.
I think a lot of the big-wigs still buy into the notion that 'Whoever dies with the most toys - wins.'
The MQ VR is garbage. I've been doing it for 2 yrs
and it's never gotten any better. Why 2 years? Because it pays about what my other part-time job pays, and I know the accounts, so just keep along. However, I make 60% of what I made as a straight MT because the speed isn't any faster than straight MT. Their software STINKS.
Does verbatim equal garbage?
Do they say they want verbatim so they can blame the "dumb typer" when the patient record is incorrect? The doctor says over and over that the patient is a male, yet "he" has had a hysterectomy, C-sections, etc. Now, this is in a report where I also heard nothing about transgender. That is a minor example, but you get the point, right? We are told to type what we hear. When we hear garbage, we have to type garbage. Apparently the hospital thinks the docs are flawless. I want to give good patient care and provide accurate reports, but I can only do so much.
I agree! And only a garbage company......sm
would pay QA less than what they are worth. Unfortunately there are quite a few of those! But there are still some good ones out there (although few) that really do care about quality are willing to pay more than secretary wages.
some accounts are okay and others are pure garbage!
Some of the accounts will sink your line count fast. I think their clinic work is maybe worse than the acute care for that, but some of the acute care is really bad with horrible dictators.
Edit the contract or THIS IS GARBAGE
I signed one of those stupid things once and when it came time to quit, I had a nice new job that I wanted to start right away, not in 30 days, so I asked the OLD company and they agreed to let me off the hook, although they were not nice about it. Ask if you can just x that part out on the contract. Why is it that the contracts are ALL one sided, nothing good in it for the MT? yOU CAN be canned in a moment's notice, but you are supposed to give 30 days. What crap.
VR produces garbage, and it's too easy
to miss something, not to mention if you need to triple your number of lines to make the same amount of pay as straight transcription, that means MTs are going to have to rush them through. It's not a good situation any way you look at it.
Cleaning up garbage is job security? nm

Amen to maybe they are sick of the offshore garbage.

With all due respect and just out of curiosity, why settle for this garbage pay? Go elsewhere..sm
preferably with a company who appreciates an experienced and quality MT. As long as they have enough U.S. MT's to work for these wages, our pay scale will continue to decline.
This industry is insane... they treat you like garbage and ...
you get no respect... here is the deal... many women want to work from home to be there for the kids... the MTSOs know this and push what anyone will put up with to the limits. It ain't worth it.
This thing about working 40 hours for benefits is garbage.
So if I do my usual 20,000 lines a pay period but only work 30 hours, I lose my benefits, but a newbie who takes 40 hours to do 12,000 lines gets benefits? This is insane. I've enjoyed working for MedQuist, but between this lousy new platform and stinking corporate rules, I've had it. My notice goes in next week, and I'm going back to school this quarter to become a P.A.

As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m

That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I
I will share this about the MTSO I work for. I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week. Would she be able to cover my work. She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip.
And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for. To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.
There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to

Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Don't know about radiology work load, but we have been scratching in the dirt for work for a numb
of months now. They hire, lose account, hire again before new accounts comes onboard, then have overhired, having to put new MT's on the current low workload.
Medical field is 24/7 work unless you work for a clinic or stand alone operation.
I just look at the other cool people working holidays and weekends in the ICU, ER, paramedics,and am glad to be there. When you work in a hospital for a length of time, it becomes a necessary evil to show up at the worst possible times.
Having a family or a life you'd miss from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 PM must be hard and
I think that there is a place for you where they can meet your requirements (M-F). There are plenty of those jobs.
They require that you work in house until your have clean QA for 3 paydays then you can work

I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
