I wonder if referring to 2 separate post?s

Posted By: . on 2009-10-06
In Reply to: Current SoftScript employee - dsauverwald

I disagree, if a job is posted there is no reason not to give out the lowest to highest rate offer for the advertised position They know what they will offer FOR THE POSITION.
happens in other posted jobs all the time -- all the time, it is listed on the job opening. This saves both sides time
why not, only to find out some low rate you would not have bothered with, sent in a resume, tested for or interviewed for. I forgot one time -- forgot to PRE- check it out, got to interview and it was 7.5. What a waste (both sides) actually, but more for the MT wasted a lot of time.

If you are referring my post...
I think it's pretty clear..
Referring to my post above --
My mother and daughter typed extremely fast from written documents as that is all they had been trained on. When I was in high school and before I started MTing, I could also type really fast on written word, but now that I am trained on voice, I can no longer type fast or accurate at all from reading a document and transcribing that document.
I sure hope you were not referring to my post..sm

I don't know who you were referring to but I'm not that person saying India rocks....that's a given....*lol*


I merely said that racism and false accusation are not a good thing...but perhaps you weren't even referring to me, now that there are a dozen posts or so in the thread....


Happy weekend to all...*S*


what bizarre post are you referring to? sm
guess I missed it
Where is the post to which you're referring?

I can't find any that have the arrow


I think you are referring to my earlier post

and I am not in an illegal situatuation, though the poster who answered me tried to suggest that I am, or that I am somehow making the world less wonderful for other MTs. 


If you feel used and abused, if your MTSO treats you as an employee when it comes to scheduling and as an IC when it comes to pay and benefits then you are in an illegal situation.  I have been in similar situations and have simply chosen to move on.  But I would not discourage anyone from slugging it out with their boss over the issue if they want to keep that job.


I simply don't want my personal very seaworthy boat sunk by somebody who has a hole in her own boat.  'kay?


OK, I'm lost. Are you referring to "I wish" post or
5t4
If you're referring to the 20K-line post, I am NOT mgmt...sm
I make this type of line count because I'm willing to work on different accounts and work extra when the need arises. I LIKE paying my bills, so I am flexible - and that, in this day and age, is on of the real keys. Nothing is as it used to be when work was consistent and pay was better, but I need to pay the bills. I have a great communication with my supervisor, and that is another key. If you don't talk to somebody about your problems or lack of work of whatever, it cannot be fixed. I don't care if I have to learn every acct the company has - I'm going to do that, because it will ensure that I can maintain a good line count at the end of the payroll period, thereby affording me a better check.

The basic fact is that working for a company is no different than any other aspect of your life. If it's not working for you, then you MUST make a change. Complaining about something will not change it - and ultimately you will spend your life feeling miserable - and trying to make other people feel miserable, too. I choose the opposite.

I've been at a multitude of other nationals and, for me and for now, this IS the company that I'm happy with and with whom I intend to stay.

You can go ahead and flame away - 'cause while you're sitting here typing nasty responses, accusing me of being mgmt, or making negative responses about Transcend, I'm working away. Now if that sounds "condescending" to you, TOUGH!
When I use the word "you" in my post, I am not referring to you specifically but
all the posters on this board.

So is MDI-MD separate from MDI-FL?
thanks again for this info!
MDI is a separate company..
In terms of things changing at the whim of Transcend upper management, Liz is part of Transcend upper management. As founder of MDI, she has a major part of the final say in any decisions made.
Two separate companies - nm

So 5 separate MTs have not been paid?
Am I counting these separate posters correctly?

Thanks for starting this thread, 'Fair Warning.' This is definitely something everyone needs to be aware of.

Best wishes and good luck to all of you who were stiffed by Landmark. I hope you're all taking whatever action necessary to collect what is rightfully (and legally) due to you!
There has been a separate board for several days, but sm

you can't see it in the left hand column when you are on the Main Board.  I usually go to the Company Board, then the MQ board is listed underneath the company board to the left hand side of your screen. 


Not really. Podiatry is a separate entity IMO
They're even a DPM instead of an MD most times.
Can you do a C&P of these into a separate folder so they will always be handy for you? nm
:+
I certainly hope they were two separate positions.

Other job board is separate from reg. message

they will remain 2 separate entities

cbay and MQ.  As far as buying them out, Cbay has bought 70% shares from Phillips Electronics who originally had the interest of stocks.  Cbay was only able to do this through 2 huge financial corporations one located in UK and the other in the US.  we will remain under the financial guidance of cbay holdings who is currently going through changes in management. 


I have steady work and see my primary work steadily throughout the day with 2 other accounts. The pay could be better since they reduced the rate when doing ASR work but it is still higher than other companies pay for ASR.  You have to speak up for yourself when you feel you deserve a raise. They won't come to you so make sure you go to them when you feel its time.  I try to stay positive and throughout the major changes which started about 2 years ago I have remained here when I thought I would not last and there were always people doubting they would not last.  I even went to work for another company and decided to go back to MQ.  Maybe it was not the right fit but it takes time finding the right one and I still might explore other opportunities but I have gained so much experience here as far as medical transcription is concerned. 


Hope this helps a lot.  good luck to you. 


 


separate account for taxes
I actually set up a separate account and deposit 35% of each check into that account to pay for taxes... it's the Feds, 14% for social security, state, and local at least for me in the state of PA.  File quarterly to avoid any penalty....
Dental and vision are separate and extra. sm

I don't know how much, though, because I tossed the info on it as the provider list for the dental was SO LIMITED it wasn't even worth it, I couldn't get any dentist I wanted.


Naaa, can put it on one sheet but you'll have a separate
column(s) for ASR figures.
It's a separate company with different ways of doing things
Transcend is a public company and owned by shareholders, and MDI is a major shareholder.

I have been at MDI for several years and I have not noticed any change in the way it is run.

SoftScript has a separate path division.
But they don't seem to have many openings and when they do, they are offered to the MTs already there.
open separate account, put in 25% to be safe.

Transcription South and TSI are 2 separate companies

ShortHand is a separate program you buy. ESP is what comes within ExText. nm

& send separate checks for OT after MT reminds them

The above poster wasn't me. I'm the LOL from above. Two separate posters - haha
nm
Webmedx has 6 paid holidays a year, separate from PTO, for full time employees.

I think she is referring to
what you said in your post about this lady being an idiot.  I don't think that was bullying or anything.  Although, I was not looking for an opinion on a person here, I was simply looking for feedback on my post.  And NO I am not putting you down for anything you said in your post.  I really don't want this thread to turn into personal attacks and all the other junk I have seen on this board.  I just want some feedback.  Thanks all.
Which MDI are you referring to? - sm
If you are referring to MDI-FL, I use IT ProV with one of their progrmas, and it works great. They have very good benefits for employee, but I would ask the recruiter about that. Hope this helps.
Which OSi are you referring to? sm
I heard bad things about the OSi in Florida (Outsourcing Solutions or something like that), or are you talking about the other OSi in Pennsylvania (I think)?  Thanks a lot! 
What are you referring to?
nm
I think you are referring to the other OSI...
Opti-Script is out of State College, PA and I'm pretty sure they don't outsource. I like them so far. MT friendly and nice people.
Which MDI are you referring to, MDI-MD or MDI-FL? nm

What exactly are you referring to?
I work for Amphion and don't usually do unpaid busy work...so now I'm confused.  As far as their line rate goes, it is comparable or better than most of the nationals out there.  So, I am quite confused as to your post...feel free to email if you don't want to discuss it here, I am very curious...
What exactly are you referring to...
*all those demographics*??? It's one lousy number to type in, 7 lil ole digits...come on now, that doesn't slow me down that much. I'd probably produce much more if I'd keep XXXXX off this board for more than 30 minutes! So, don't blame the lil ole 7 digits I type in on the DI, cause that aint it...try again...
Not sure what you are referring to,but (sm)
could it be that they are no longer the little company - they have grown so fast and are so busy............is the atmosphere changing?  They are still wonderful to work for and take care of you when you need something, it's just....... can't finish a sentence here.  Still the best place I've ever worked.
I believe I know who you are referring to.
They did that to me too when I applied and I did not go any further with them. I do not know why it is important for them to know anything about your credit.
The OP was not referring to anyone in particular. SM
She was simply giving her opinion and I agree with her.

An impartial post would give the pros and cons of any given company and they all have them.


and that is what I am referring to...
She is obviously speaking up for her friend--what's wrong with that? And it doesn't matter why her friend stayed with the company so long. Maybe she was hoping (like we all hope) that it would work out. You guys have no right to laugh at ANYONE who wants to make things right.
Yes, indeed that is what I was referring to
I am glad someone is literate!
I don't believe anyone is referring to the OP
They're referring to that wacko who jumped in and derailed the entire thread with yet another TT rant and how much she hates her job and her company.

I don't think anyone is speaking negatively about the OP at all if I'm following this thread correctly.
I'm not sure which posts you are referring to
but I am the one who claimed the VR platform was released too soon.  I never said I was making good money on it.  In fact, I claim just the opposite.  My pay was drastically decreased on VR as opposed to straight typing because of the sound quality and the technical problems.  I did not make contradicting posts.  I can't explain the closeness of the IP numbers, but mine should all be the same as I have a static IP number. 
Are you referring to the co. out of N. Carolina?
If so, I would also like some information.  I have been hired by them but the account has not started up yet.
Are you referring to the Sten Tel
There is obviously more than one Sten Tel in MA. Please clarify which one you are speaking of.
If you're referring to me...(sm)
I do acute care with about 90% ESL.
which company are you referring to then? nm
