I passed their test and they offered me a job!  Yeehaw! ;)  I'm really looking forward to it.  I start around Feb. 13 (my request as I want to give notice where I currently work).

Thank you to everyone on this board who helped me make this decision.

Stressed no more

I had a similar situation happen twice, I might add.  I got an E-mail from a recruiter on 2 separate occasions - same recruiter one year apart during my job searches; the recruiter was from Prohibity Transcription wanting to know when is a good time to schedule an interview.  I immediately responded and said anytime from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but to let me know what would work best for her schedule as I am flexible.

I never, on both occasions, received a reply back.  I sent a follow-up E-mail a week later, on both occasions, I might add, and never heard a reply. I called the company and asked to speak to the recruiter by name and got her voice mail with no return phone call.

I, too, have been in this business for many years with a proven track record and I used to get a phone call the same day my resume was sent out by companies, sometimes within 15 minutes upon receipt of my resume.

All I have to say is at first I thought it might have been a fluke the go around she did not respond to my E-mail.  The second time, I am not so sure.

My advice is look to the smaller MTSOs who are family owned as opposed to the Nationals - of course, with most of them, you are an IC, but I find you tend to be treated as a valuable employee and your hard work is appreciated.

It's not like you owe them your first-born child if you talk to them, they're paid to help.

They give you a computer, but require a $300 deposit on it, to be taken out of your check in $50 increments until paid.   I left a different national a few months ago; and when I had started there a year ago, got a new computer and no deposit required at all.

Got called over a month and a half after I applied to their ad.

Line rate is required 170 per hour.

I'm supposed to get a testing e-mail soon, and have to respond and do the test within 48 hours.    That 300.00 bothers me.   A few extra hundred added to it, and I could buy my own.  I've heard the horror stories of deposits and equipment issues.

I think I'll pass.

was totally unethical and I refused.  He asked me why and I said because I don't work here anymore and left as soon as I hung up the phone.   I was a regional assistant manager, but was acting manager of my office and as they had had a complete manpower turnover before I took over,  I was basically the only one who knew what was going on.   The ex-boss was running around like a chicken with its head cut off.  I had 2 very, very big clients.  I called both my contacts and told them that I no longer worked there and that there was no one in the office capable of handling their business and told them who to call.   I was offered jobs with both companies, even offered more money than I was currently making for less work.   I took the one job and this is also where I met my DH of nearly 18 years.   I'd say I came out the winner.  

If there is any documentation as to what happened I'd copy it and send it to every account - to the medical records manager as well as the hospital/clinic administrator. 

I tell you, the incompetence of that company was truly amazing!  And before anyone starts in, yes, I am working and actually DO like the company I am working for. 

I forgot another thing:  When I started, they forced me to buy a footpedal for like $150 that they claimed was necessary because only this pedal would work with their software.  I believe the owner's husband had something to do with the company that sold this footpedal.  Guess what, a footpedal I had from a different company worked with SS software, as I later found out. 

I also at one point worked for Medquist and, believe me, SoftScript was WORSE, if that is at all possible. 

would want you to leave instead of putting you on another account?  Or is she just a hothead who could not admit that she dialed the wrong number?  I guess I'm asking if there is any reason the company would benefit from your being gone?

I work there now and I love everything about Meridian.  I have never talked to the boss though.  I guess I shall try to avoid it. 

In general, do your bosses respond to your e-mails with questions about your accounts, etc? My boss does not answer any e-mails. All of my e-mails have been our accounts and not just B.S.

This is why the morale of the American worker is the way it is.  Not caring what their workers are suffering considered a perk...what a novel concept. 

would contact the senior partner (or managing partner) for the practice and inform him or her as to the behavior of the in-office manager/supervisor  as well as the saboteur. The failure to deal with this problem is pretty much almost as-bad.

I cannot imagine the motives of the troublemaker to ONLY pick on you -- I was once tangentially aware of a supervisor I had who outright stole the best performer from a local tiny service that did overflow work for the company I worked for, and I have heard many stories of overflow services who did unethical things to attempt to steal the current holder of an account.

Bizarre. I fear that confidentiality and proprietary information agreements (and other) probably make it impossible for you to act on this as a concerned private citizen.  Nasty situation. Im sorry.
