I was thinking the same thing
That's why I'm looking to get out of this job.
I was thinking the same thing,
simply because they are growing, they do both VR and typing, which is the wave of the future, you don't have to meet a daily line count, just a pay period amount. I'm worried SoftScript just won't be that flexible. I'm reliable and always work my shift, but I'm only human too, usually obtaining 98% or above, but as I said only human.
I was thinking the same thing.
When MQ first took over our office in the early 90s, they had a trip every year for office managers and up. One year my manager when to Hawaii, one year it was Vegas. This is a common practice among all companies. I bet the companies that have accepted bail-out money even have these trips.
But yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Not too smart to use your real name.
I was actually thinking about the very same thing
this morning. I can't think of many professions (other than ICs) who have to supply their own tools for work.
Nope, didnt forget - the went grated my nerves, the other didnt
so i didnt mention it
So funny! LOL! I kept thinking the same thing...
get spell check! LOL Calling names, and can't spell it right. And in the MT biz. Somebody pass me a bun, please!
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.
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as VP I would have looked into the work history of this person and the years at the company and probably would have rescinded the resignation anyway.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.
I've been thinking the same thing.
I stayed with the Q too long into the downslide. You are so right, it has a familiar smell. I cannot see myself doing that again. Just don't know if there are any more decent companies out there.
I was thinking the same thing. I'd definitely pass on this company. nm
Are the Precyse and MQ DQS platforms the same thing? I'm thinking about switching
nm
At first I was thinking that you were being unrealistic, not thinking about taxes, benefits, etc. bu
surprised to find that you are not asking the moon. Let me clarify a few things: Rates charged are not as high as 0.25 per line, but no one that has U.S. employees goes as low as 0.115 or they would not be able to pay their bills. A more realistic range is 0.125-0.165, and that top end is hard to find, most falling at 0.14-0.15 per line.
The rates of pay you propose are very reasonable IF the following is true: These are seasoned MTs who do not need a lot of hand-holding, QA or blanks filled in, unless a very difficult/impossible doctor.
How about a scale based on experience and accuracy of 0.09 - 0.105 per line (acute care), and $1.15-$1.30 per report (radiology)?
The VR one is tough as everyone, MTs and MTSOs and facilities are still feeling their way on this. As an MTSO who was an MT, I feel that VR editing is as difficult to do as regular transcription. I don't think that it should be substantially less pay or charged less as the end product is still the same.
Funny thing here? My company already follows that scale. We should work together, not at odds, to reinforce this industry and bring it back to where it should be, right here in the U.S.A. with a decent paycheck.
Sorry that didnt work
Their PTO is good. Lots of ESL's. I wasn't there long enough to see about a raise, but something after 120 days they were supposed to evaluate you for it. They always pay on time. Platform is very easy to learn.
I don't know about their line counting system. I don't trust it only because several times when I would send a job I would keep getting it back several times already typed by myself. I even got a report that was already fully typed from another person, I didn't take credit for it. Trust me, they wouldn't break or abandon a report that long it had no blanks and 1 QA marker. I didn't think it was right. I asked the WFC and she said to abandon it. I got that typed report back every time I would finish a job that day. So I dont know how often that happens, but I didn't like it.
Not trying to bad talk the place, everyone was very nice, nice doesn't cut it..when it comes to work, don't expect any, and don't expect anyone to get back to you about a second acount, plan on working all weekend every weekend.
I don't know about everyone else, but when I pick a schedule, I pick it for a reason, to work it.. not to work every day and every time but that. I don't mind it here and there, but it was EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND. Sayin how they are tired of always having the same people being team players.
They require one weekend day a week. I wasn't able to work any other time really than the schedule I picked
Anyways.. I worked 5 hour days there and I ended up with no more than 200 lines a day.
Might be different for you, but I'm just giving you my experience.
Check out page 2 or 3 on the company board there is more talk about them there.
I didnt know SpongeBob was
But when I just googled it basically all of the sites had it spelled that way except for a few unoffical sites. Maybe she was checking research skills. I duno. That is pretty stupid that you would be failed over something like that though. Probably better off.
They lost a lot of us, now, didnt they?
They will realize that  doesnt cut it.
How do you know she wants a pic if you didnt apply? nothing said in ad?
hmmmmmm
Hmm, didnt see the "This is for everyone but MT
x
eMTS, I didnt know that!
xxx
I didnt hear that.....
I was recently offered a job with them, but it was 60 to70% ESL so i politely turned it down.
Didnt he get shot?
bang
Not to worry. Didnt think you came up with it.

I didnt see that when I logged in. Where do you find it.
:
2 days. I didnt have to call them..but if you don't
the recruiter.
noyb - I didnt notice the..
experience/no experience. sounds even more strange!
I would apply but I'm not radiology MT...but wait....I don't need experience....and I have a C-phone and internet.....but wait....I would have to work in Yorba Linda. Geez...how can I decide??????
I didnt know if they had the 9 foot pedal in USB or not. Where did you get yours.
Your right.. the 9-pin is becoming outdated and obsolete. If there is a USB one out there that works then I need to get one. Can I ask where you got yours and have you tried it on a laptop?
They didnt worry that it would be affordable for the MTs.
you gotta be kidding, lol
I didnt see that info on their website. nm
x
Wow..you actually even got an email about it. I didnt even get that. I dont even know what your
talking about.. Do share so I can decide if I want to be upset or not. Incentives?? who gets those.
LOL but a few msgs below you said you didnt know?! 6-1/2 is what I started out on.

Sorry, didnt mean to impinge your MT qualities. Do

OP did not ASK if paid spaces, SAID didnt. Re your
x
they did lay off- didnt outsource but laid off a lot
They bought another contract and then lost it so had new employees and not enough work to go around
Sorry, I didnt receive an email. Could you try again. nm
:
Do you not come on board until then? Didnt they put you on something temporarily? (sm)
Every company has their ups and downs but in my opinion, this company is worth hanging in for.
Good luck.
G.P. = guinea porcine. (Didnt think that would be
being used as G.P. (guinea porcine) she can leave to work in corporate world, Walmart, start own business, whatever. I hope you get this cause I dont know how Else I could explain it.
I do understand. I'm just saying, get used to the bad communication. I didnt stay because of it.
Best wishes for you but you know you can do better.
I didnt have the best experience with her either, but that was 2 years ago...not as flexible as you
that will change!! Trust me, I am not the ONLY one who experienced this.
Thx for explaining, otherwise it didnt make sense
,,,
I was curious, but it was rather vague, and no I didnt respond. nm
xxxx
Did you read post? OP didnt ask if pay for spaces.
x
No I didnt see that, is there anything this country values anymore SM
and is willing to pay other than tech stuff? I know my son went to college for graphic design and he doesnt make much.
Sorry, geez I am new to the Company Board, didnt
even know what it was about until a week ago!!!
Wrong. We had our turn and didnt like it and left.
x
show me where I said you personally didnt not or could not type ESLs
Get your facts straight. I said a good MT can do these and should expect them in our line of work.
Why call a doctor "Crappy" because he doesnt do what you want? It is your attitude that makes MT look bad.
I never once was talking about your skills only your attitude.
Are they doing away with SE status altogether now. I didnt get my packet yet. What do they plan
to do with the SE people.
Oh Geez- i didnt read what I wrote - correction in msg
Has anyone else gotten late paychecks from Meridian in the past.
I was up working half the night. So please dont hound me.
