I thought the same thing when I read it. nm

That same exact thought crossed my mind!
Send her the documents to show she is in violation by having a schedule with no exceptions for an IC.
Just amazing.
I can't find the exact paperwork now, but thought there was a choice sm
between $500 deductible and $1500 deductible, with about a $20 difference in the premiums each pay period. Otherwise, both plans are identical with a $20 or $30 copay for doctor visits. However, I could be wrong about both -- wouldn't swear to it.
Yes!! The exact same thing happened to me when
my family and I first moved to our town. I took my daughter to the dr and he had the same thing. I was absolutely stunned. Even I had to admit how great it was!
The exact same thing happened -
to me. Please email me. I wonder if it is the same company.
I'm finding the exact same thing
Pay just keeps getting lower and I am really beginning to think I can't make a decent living anymore. Very scary! I've also tested, found the test to be easy, and then heard nothing. I think companies should at least say the position has been filled, you did lousy on the test, something, because testing is so time consuming. I'm to the point where I want to ask up front what the pay will be, but most companies don't like that. Now, though, I don't even get asked to test, and that is with years of experience. Any recruiters out there care to comment?
The exact same thing happened to me
??
this exact thing happened to me...
but the name of the company was different. Very inconsistent with pay....then finally no pay and being blasted for too many corrections. This company also had two people involved. The name of the company I worked for was GK Transcription and they were in Michigan.
OMG! The exact thing happened to me!
I've never had a QA score below 98%, have typed radiology for 4 years, and I also got a score of 88% with an email saying I didn't meet their standards. I can tell you, I was HIGHLY offended! I don't think they're grading their test correctly, and I almost sent an email telling them that but then got 2 job offers from other, better companies. Life has a way of working out perfectly!
Same exact thing happened to me - sm
Lady VERY scattered and very unorganized. I didn't pursue; I was afraid to!
Good one! I am going to do that exact same thing when I get off.
Perhaps something of this nature would be viable as it is as a letter to the Editor of our local newspapers?
I was going say the exact thing. People really
nice, but sound quality was awful. Paid better than most. QA fairly strict. They are a bit disorganized and kept losing my work. They were/are going to upgrade their system and that might make sound quality better.
Exact same thing happened to me.
I passed their testing, but the interview made me uncomfortable as well. They offered 0.075. I said I would not work for less than 0.09. She said she would get back to me. About a week later, I received the same email you did. At this point, I would not work for them at any price. Their tactics stinks. If the compensation I asked for was too high, why not just say so?
I was thinking the exact same thing.
So what else is new. Sit and wait for a schedule as an IC you were HIRED FOR, but then again, better work nights and weekends, and quit having a life. OR ELSE.
The same exact thing happened with us
All inhouse and within a 2-3 period VR was spewing forth excellent results, I was amazed, thought I had plenty of time to stay on straight because thought I would fail at this. Now with all that do on this with outsourcing, VR is just a hot mess sometimes.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
It totally sounds like an inside job. I can only speak for myself, but if I had found out that an employee of mine was shocked after finding out that a resignation letter had been sent and then finding out it wasn't even the employee's correct email, I would want to get to the bottom of it! It just seems like the VP wanted the poster out of there and was even fighting the proof she offered that it wasn't her email. Also, even if the poster did actually send a resignation letter (which I highly doubt), as VP I would have looked into the work history of this person and the years at the company and probably would have rescinded the resignation anyway. VP was just too eager to have her gone.
Exact question asked last week. Read old posts.
I got the same email that said the same exact thing, "banking crisis."

I thought I had read in their material
before they took it off their website that they don't pay the MT until they get paid from their client. No way would I work for that type of pay plan.
oh! Sorry. I thought I read somewhere they use ChartScript. TY :-) NM

I thought the same thing. -nm

I thought exactly the same thing......
I decided to pass because of the email address sounding Indian.....
I thought the same thing. LOL nm
nm
I always thought the same thing
Thanks for the information!
the first thing i thought of...
Puppies ape sale. Mother on site
Thought the same thing myself.
I thought the same thing...

I thought the same thing.
I also thought that the original job post was just a little too vague. I highly doubt this will even pay 7. They only charge their clients 10 cpl, and they are also leasing the website for the company. ???? Lots of ?????????????? for whoever takes this.
I thought the same thing
I've typed it, too. Granted every account is different, but at the time I had to type it into their (the VA hospital's) system, which was also rather, shall we say, burdensome. I would be very surprised if the VA has cut the amount that it pays, so.....
Thought the same thing when I saw that this morning.

maybe administrator read it wrong and thought it was bad - but I wasn't saying
anything bad. Just an observation and just a vent. Maybe it belonged on the Gab board. Siiiiggghhh
Well said. Never worked for D&L but when I read the "IC" post, that was my thought as well..nm
x
LOL. I read too fast and thought you were contacting her about porn work. nm
nm
I hope you are right. I'm sure Brown at FEMA thought the same thing.
Remember the Boy Scouts' motto: "Always be prepared."
I thought exactly the same thing! Tech department must be lacking
x
the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
When I read "that breed", I thought she meant "Arabians". Don't try to clean it up.
You know exactly what she meant. It was obvious.
Great post and very true! I read these today and was amazed that someone's first thought was pay
I agree that circumstances can make loans necessary but the OP sounded more like she uses these on a regular basis. No I'll have to learn to budget for the difference, just oh no, now I need to go to Payday Loans and pay 400% interest.
We have the potential to earn what we need to, although sometimes lately it is harder and harder.
Good for all of you. Wish I had seen these earlier.
p.s. Can someone call and tell my BIL to grow up too?
I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company. I work days (and some nights) with this company. I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night. Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working. Do you have to have set hours at your company #2? Thanks for the suggestion.
This is not an exact
Unfortunately there is no exact way to figure this out. Gross lines count everything on a line where it is one word or the whole line. It really depends on the line length and font you will be typing in, and also on the type of reports, whether they have a lot of short lines or long paragraphs. From reading past posts, I think as a general rule gross lines should come out to be about 30% more than 65-character lines, so 6 cents a gross line would be approximately 9 cents per 65-character line. I get paid per gross line right now, but there are a lot of long paragraphs, and the hospital even wants numbered lists in paragraph form, so the gross line count is only about 15-20% more than 65-character, so it's not all that great.
So you might do well at 6 cents a line or you may not. Unfortunately's there no real way to tell until you try the account for a while.
Hope this helps what.
I had the exact same
thought about that.
Exact same for me! (nm)

That's MDI-MD to be exact!-nm

I don't know their exact formula but
I do know that some national companies only check the reports that are sent to QA once they have cleared an MT to transcribe without every report being checked. Long ago when I worked in a hospital they selected random reports done through the month and did QA on only those reports. Someone else could help you out better with that, I'm sure.
I think if I had worked with those MTs and they still weren't thinking for themselves, I'd get rid of them and find someone who will. Have you considered looking for MTs at this board or another MT board? That would involve using wav files so long distance MTs could access the dictation over the internet, but when I have to expand beyond my local trusted MTs I plan to look on the MT boards. There are a lot of good MTs out there, and a lot of not so good ones. You just gotta find the good ones!
Single is about $45 a PP (not exact) SM
and family I can't quote since I don't have it, but I hear it's pretty cheap as national family coverage goes. The insurance is Blue Cross-I have to say it's good insurance.
Yep, 9 years to be exact..(nm)

I felt the same exact way
and I did not sleep very well either the night after that meeting. Personally, I do not know what the big deal is about being paid by the keystroke. When I was hired on, I was told what I was being paid per keystroke and what it came out to be if it were a 65-character line just like every other place goes by and it has always been right on.
I look at things this way and the new guy said it himself during the meeting. There is a shortage of qualified MTs here in the US and now, according to him, there is starting to be in India. As far as I see it, who knows, there might be something even better somewhere else if things do not feel that they are working out for me. Do I worry? Yes, I do, but more so in a way that it seems like a possible unnecessary hassle for me and I like simple.
They are exact opposites
Great place to work = TransTech.
Horrible place to work = TTS.
I have worked for both and can advise that the only thing in common is that they both use Dictaphone Extext. You will be lucky to get paid on time if at all at TTS. The pay is very, very low anyway - between 6 and 7 cpl for employees. Administration is a joke. You can always tell when unqualified people are hired for jobs beyond their expertise. Actually quite humorous to observe them, but you really can't make a good living there.
TransTech = good pay, good benefits, good working conditions.
That's the exact setup I use...
Not a problem. You log into the VPN first to get connected and then you're done with that until you are through working and disconnect. Then when you log into Word Client, the Transnet opens up at the same time. It is very simple. You save your job and it pops up a new one. I can see the next 3 jobs queued up for me.
I'm too new to know the exact details, but I too
remember all the negative posts and thinking not such nice things about the owner and thinking that is one company I'll never work for. The owner posted several times back then, admitted they had issues and were working on them. I don't know what the specific issues were so I can't say, though they do ask for feedback yearly from each MT and if you have an issue at any time they seem to be very receptive to trying to help resolve it.
What I fear now with the influx of resumes and subsequent hires is that there will again be lots of negative talk. KS is not perfect. I came from a company that seemed to be as perfect as you can get until they started offshoring and then got greedy and offshored more. It came back to bite them in the butt and they lost several accounts and finally went under. I had been with the company for several years so any move was going to take some adjustment.
I think there will probably be lots of MTs who come on board who will also have adjustment issues, whether it be a different platform, more ESLs than they are used to, etc., but I think overall it will be a possible experience based on all the posts I have seen recently about MQ and OSI.
I personally have some issues with KS, nothing major, but then I'm still in adjustment mode, but other than the company above and a small local MTSO I worked for, KS is next in line for the best company I've worked for.
They have a great reputation for radiology accounts and accounts actively seek them out, so someone must be doing something right along the way.
Same exact experience here nm
