they are the worst cherrypickers of the bunch, biggest whiners of all, and they get away with it because they tell the boss daily how wonderful she is.

Which company has the best management/team leaders
Can you give your experience of which companies have the best people in place for their team leader/supervisors, and what you liked about that person/company? In other words, what set them apart from other places you've worked. Thanks!
Team Leaders
And all the GOOD team leaders who really communicated well and cared about the rest of us left! HMMM wonder why?
Team Leaders
I have to agree completely. The only really good team leader that MDI had was Shannon. She was always available, was always there to help, and actually cared about each individual person there. If you had a problem, she was there to take care of it or she would find someone who could. I guess she finally got fed up with MDI too because she left, which is a shame because she was the only one there that actually had a heart! We miss you Shannon!!
MDI-FL-team leaders?
Trying 2 learn about these team leaders. Anybody know anything?
MDI-FL-TEAM LEADERS
I work for MDI and I love my team leader. I have actually more than one team leader, if I switch to my secondary account. They are both very helpful in providing me with anything I need, and I also notice they are available to me at any time for help. Don't know about redheads, blondes or brunettes, as I have not meant them, but I can ask what color their hair is, although not sure how that would help anything. Anyway, I think they are the geatest - a lot more help than I have ever gotten anywhere! I'm thrilled!
MDI team leaders
Marianne, I agree with you. I have never been happier at any company I have worked for, as far as the help I receive and the flexibility in my scheduling.
Another happy MDI-ER!!!
MDI team leaders
I just want to tell anyone who will listen, this is the most structured environment I have worked in for a while. I too did not know what to expect, having worked at other places. This team leader thing sure was a great idea. You have one person to deal with who is always available to you for anything you need. You don't have to worry about who to go to, and if you do, your team leader guides you in the right direction. I am so glad I made the move to MDI - finally a company who cares!!
MDI team leaders R GREAT
I've been with MDI for about 2 yrs and before they had team leaders it was hard to get any info or help when it was needed or find out other accounts I could work on but now I get quick answers. My team leader has helped solve a lot of problems. I don't know all of them of course but the ones I've had are quick to help and not afraid to do what needs to be done. They make my worklife easier and I get more work done because of it because I don't have to wait for one of the big bosses to get around to little me. I don't know if this is what you wanted but that's what I know.
And the team leaders learned the same tricks
from them. Learned fast not to believe them or trust them, either - they all learned how to talk out of both sides of their mouths.
Supervisors and team leaders are the same thing
What are you talking about? That is a matter of semantics.
That's like saying I am not a secretary... I am an administrative assistant.
Overstaffed and poor team leaders and communication.

Open message to team leaders/supervisors: sm
When there is ZERO WORK available for us, and it is less than a month before Christmas and our paychecks are hundreds of dollars lower than they used to be, please don't email your team to tell us there's no work and then close it with HAPPY HUMP DAY!
YOU may be paid on salary and don't notice the slump, but it's KILLING us! Happy Hump Day is completely inappropriate!

company is bad but the Tennessee management team is the worst. Run! -nm

Too bad they got rid of Indian team leads. My US team lead is the worst.
I work here too but you must be on a different team. sm
I haven't had a full paycheck in 2 years, day shift is overstaffed and I don't have the option of working other hours; excuse me, flexing. BUT, I wouldn't work anywhere else. Good bennies unless you live in BFE like I do, then there are no providers on the insurance but that can be worked around; don't get sick. Seriously, it's a good place to work compared to what I read on this site. They provide equipment for free, PTO is a good rate as long as you're working, and they won't hassle you if you don't make the minimum lines because work's low.
opppss meant purple team, not red team.
Sorry, I meant the purple team.
I'd ask your team lead. She would know but I will tell you that we're already out of work toda
guess everyone wanted the bonus. I find it sad that we'll get back logged because no one wants to work a regular schedule, yet come a holiday bonus, and everyone is obviously working. It's too bad we couldnt have that bonus rate as a standard. You'd see a lot more motivated people in this business. Most of us are burned out on pounding the keyboard all day and gain so little. I guess so much for a holiday bonus when there is no work. Kind of defeats the purpose..Oh well...I'm vented for today. 
Not for people on my team. Slow work for months. nm
:(
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
Let me know if you pursue this company. I would like to work for a MN company as an employee?
Let me know! Thanks!
Chasing work from company to company - Have any of you ever watched (sm)
5 year olds learning to play soccer? The ball is in play and no matter what the coahes say ALL the kids go running for the ball. Maybe we are like that, masses of us going from company to company in search of work. This company has a new account BOOM here we go. Now it is out. Let's go here.
Yep, I think it is a big game someone is playing with us. Not a particularly funny one either.
What is the best company to go to for IC that is a nice company to work for that has work for you
and also is interested if you want to work part time at some point.
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.
Like I said - it depends who you work for. I work for a hospital at home - not a company. nm

I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to

I so wholeheartedly agree with you. Don't work for KS but work for SS - another company bashed
Works GREAT for me and I love SS. I never really care what the negatives are as I have found they are usually people that can't make their lines, don't work the hours they commit to or just overall do not care!
I work for an all-US company and refuse to work for one that offshores. Best of luck to you. nm

Why would you want to work for a company with no QA? Anyways the only company that comes to mind is
I worked for in the past which is Medquist NJ Radiology.
Work PT for a company and noticed something odd. When I work the day shift I get (sm)
actually fairly good dictators, a couple of toughies, but no more than one would expect. When I do the late afternoon/early evening shift it is like night and day. I get some really crummy dictators and tons of problem/miscoded reports.
They have said that there is no cherry picking able to be done with this program so I just have to wonder if the crappy dictators can't get to the dictate stations until after 4 p.m. or what?
Nuff said, back to work. Thanks for letting me air it out.
Do they have a US team? Or
should I start looking?? They have never mentioned anything about dropping the US team, but I would bet they would do it in a heartbeat - I guess that's why they are known as heartless.
There is still a QA team.
The team leaders to the document completion.
BEST team
KS used to have people that just did that without a name. There was a gal who did our hospital and we could not have her permanently. What we settled for was not even close to what we wanted. The whole idea is very midleading.
ER Team
Yes, they asked me for either a Sun-Thur or Tue-Sat for daytime hours. Afternoon and late evenings could be Mon-Fri.
Same team
I worked for OSi for the CURRENT QA manager and most of the current team were there the entire time, except for new people who were hired as the company expanded. Most everyone was excellent to work with - a great team atmosphere. Working as an OSi QA is not easy, and I liken it to teaching - you do way more than you are expected to do because you LIKE to, and you get paid way less than you are worth, because you like doing what you do. But I think that's true of any job you do that you love.
What Team Were You On
What team where you one there? I currently work for them and have had none of the trouble that you had. I am sure it all would vary from team to team.
A-Team
What about blanks? Do they count against you? What about ESLs? Are they difficult? Thanks for your info!
Red team
If you are on the red team, you have a fantastic supervisor provided she is still there. I absolutely loved her!!! She will definitely go out of her way to make your experience as pleasant as possible. She did for me, and she was the main reason I ended up staying. Unpleasant note: This is the team I had the unpleasant QA person. Good luck again!
By the way, I bet we are on the same team.
I will be using ExText too and I love that platform! Take care and I meant to say congratulations to you too!
She said they were doing away with all ICs - I have no facts for you. You should ask your team

And I am joining the KS Team on
Halloween!!! Yippee. Goodbye MQ, I'm coming back to KS, where I should have never left. They are the best and in no time they will be better still. I can't wait!
Sorry, should have been team player. nm

My team leader is the best. She
keeps us informed, always available, and provides more help than any company I have ever worked for.
This is not what the KS team is at all but it also has not started
yet. It is going to be radiology only from what I understand and only for vacation coverage and heavy volume for hospitals, not every day, so it will pay very high.
Medware ER team
Me too, on the ER team. I think we are about to start a new Hospital in June.
I use Merit on the ER team

As a former OSi team lead.....
I will say that the main reason I left the company is because I knew it was not right to ask people to work extra when they could not report it on their time sheets. And, yes, an account coordinator, has definitely recently asked people to work extra but not report it. This has been going on a long time. Time should be recorded as time actually working not what you put on a time sheet. That is ridiculous. The majority of my MT's did work extra but did they get paid overtime? No! This is SO not right!!!  ');>
she did it while a team lead too

They really are the best management team (sm)
Believe me, I previously came from a doozy of a place. If you had a problem, it was YOUR problem, and if they did help you, it usually took days.
