I think you just have a negative attitude. Why

 I'll be sure to tell my ex-coworkers you said that; I'm sure they'll have a whole new outlook on their situations when I pass on that little piece of misguided 'advice' from you.  Maybe if you removed those rose-colored glasses for a minute, you might actually see the many, many people who used to enjoy their jobs, worked hard every day, didn't say anything negative about SPi and then were summarily fired on a conference call without warning.  Or maybe those people who logged in to work only to find they had been canned - again without warning - should change their attitudes.  Or how about people who were let go because they couldn't meet the standards that were then lowered when those jobs were given to offshore workers?

If you're lucky enough to still have an account you love, count your rare blessings.  Then go ask your supervisor if it's one of the accounts that they're right now changing over to voice recognition, or taking away from US employees and transferring overseas, or getting rid of because it's not profitable enough.

I appreciate that you have a good attitude and, yes, being negative all the time and/or for no reason is not a good thing.  However, the people you're reprimanding and insinuating should just quit their whining and be happy like you are frequently now have to worry about where dinner's going to come from, whether they'll lose their house, how long they'll be on antidepressants since they lost their jobs at SPi, etc.; that's all due to SPi.   And those are just a few reasons people are venting on this board and elsewhere.  They have a right to release a bit of frustration and not feel so thankful and blessed right now, thank you very much.  That does not mean they have bad attitudes. 

And while I'm up here on this soap box, I might as well correct another error you made.  A LOT of the people you're referring to did NOT have a choice in the matter (see above about the firings - and those are just two examples).  Yes, there are people who quit, but many of them that I know were virtually forced to do so by the circumstances they were forced to work under.  And others were told they'd better move on before they got fired.  I personally know people in QA, MT, tech support, supervision, and management who have felt the ill consequences of working for SPi specifically.

I'm glad you're happy at SPi, and I'm not suggesting you shouldn't be or even that you're wrong in your idea that attitude can make a difference; it certainly can.  What I am saying is that not everyone has had the good experience with SPi that you seem to have had; in fact, you may even be in the minority, believe it or not.  And you should be aware of how condescending your message sounded.  You might have a good 'attitude' but you certainly don't have good manners.

I have personally been with SPi four years.  We have gone through a lot of changes.  What company doesn't?  It is really unprofessional and concerning when you see negative posts about SPi.  I started as an MT (15 years experience already), and I now work in QA.  I love my job!  Attitude is everything!  People choose to have a good or bad atittude.  People also choose where they wish to be employed.  Could go on and on but won't.  The positives for which I choose to stay with SPi consist of working an account I love and am committed to, direct deposit every 2 weeks (they have not missed one, can't say that for some others); and awesome benefits package for all employees.  This company is here to stay.  It is financially strong and structurally solid.  I'm sure everyone has heard the saying, If you can't say something nice....then don't say anything at all.  It really is a bad reflection toward those who choose to be negative.  Life is too short!  : )

at KS really puts me off.  She is sitting there bragging about doing CLINIC WORK, for Pete's sake - and then implying that someone whose work pool runs out is a slacker.  I guess she has to put her brain to use typing meaningless implications on this board because she doesn't use it typing clinic notes.

The company offered to pay you after 1 week's worth of work.  You should be grateful.  They even offered to wire transfer the money to you, yet you are complaining about *the bank's fee*.  I surely hope the name you posted is not your real name.  If it is, everyone will now know your true nature.

Sorry, but your post came across as very snarky.

that you not move forward with Webmedx.  Nothing against your point of view, you are within your rights to have your opinion about VR, but it is not the right attitude to have or to display with this company.

The CEO is full bore, gung ho for VR.  You need to know that.  Most every account that I know of is VR for the most part.  If you are resisting it, you will not fit in with this company. 

You know, I rarely do visit this site, but when I do and I have something worthwhile to say to clarify for someone that really does have a question to answer.  I like to answer it.  One would wonder if you would be so bold if you were not afraid to use your real name and stand behind your bold statements.  There are many great MTs who really would have pertinent questions.  One person's experience with a company may not be the same experience that another MT might have.  As for my snobby nose, I think you can ask anyone that really knows me and you would find that I am probably the most caring, professional and strong advocate for the MTs that you are ever going to run across.  Thanks for your time and you have a wonderful day.

them either.  I comply as best as possible.  It's difficult when you do things their way you are being corrected to not do it when you were told to do it all over again. 

So it is not my attitude or my unwillingness.  They are happy with me as far as I know.  Never had any complaints about my work, except for petty style issues.  I am very willing and eager to learn, and have been with this company since April and everything is always fine and dandy until you need a 4th account because work is slow and you get thown on QA all over again.

I just wish people wouldn't automatically jump to conclusions.  I was half leery about posting because of that.  I can tell you..I am not in any kind of HIPAA noncompliance, as we are told to look up samples.  Otherwise where would I be getting this information from?  I wouldn't have regular access to MTs reports unless allowed by this large national, right? I am certainly not smart enough to magically pop into a system to see anything.

I also need to add:  I proof and relisten to almost every single report.  Overboard, yes, but that's just how much this uncaring MT cares about the work she puts out.  So, after being an MT for 3 years my line count = 100-120 lines per hour because of it.  I would rather myself suffer than my quality or a patient.  I am not one of these people who flings out 300 lph just to throw them out not caring about any mistakes.  I guess that is why I beat myself up over this?  Because I strive to be the best MT that I can be to only be corrected on someones personal style preference that is new to the QA in the company I work for anyhow?
