Meant employee and not employers in the second sentence

I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for

It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to

Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO.  Geeesh.


Statuatory employee versus regular employee....
Can someone tell me the difference between a statuatory employee versus a regular employee?  My company offeres IC or SE status....I am confused about whether switching over the SE would benefit me more than IC status that I have been for some time with them?  What are the benefits and disadvantages of being an SE versus IC?  Thanks for all of your help!
They hire both IC and employee. I am an employee (see message)
and I have full benefits. I am very happy that I came to work here. I came as a statutory employee from a large company. Everyone at MDI has been great to me.
Depends on if you are employee or statutory employee (sm)
Employee, 8th and 23rd of month
Stat. Employee, 15th and 30th month
Diskriter - Anyone go from their employee to hospital employee with them?
Thinking about giving up on being their employee and applying for a hospital employee position through them, they have one in PA right now that looks good.  How is it for scheduling?  Do you keep your line rate or get whatever the hospital pays? Who manages those accounts, is it the same PM and DR that are on the other ones?  I have DR and feel like she doesn't have a clue what she is doing and it is so annoying, but I just don't have the guts to let the company know she needs to step it up a notch because the transcriptionists are not happy under her.  Are QA the same people or through the hospital.  They have 1 QA that is constantly asking us questions on doctors and format, things we should be asking that QA person.  Annoying that new people move up to QA but people who've been there 2 or 3 years get treated like dirt and jumped account to account.
Only employee and statutory employee..no IC

Sorry I meant
just like sm and not dj. I
did not see who correctly who posted first.
Oh, NO!!! That's not what I meant.
I'm sorry it came across that way.  I got duped into applying with them by all the rave reviews on the boards, too.  Plus, they make no mention of it on their website.  I refuse to work for a company that offshores.  As for the people who are happy there, more power to them.  That's their decision and I'm glad they've got great jobs.  I just need something else from a company.
SORRY - meant DRC not DSC
...
As I said, if it meant that much to me I WOULD
figured it was their loss.  No biggie to me.  All I was doing was giving MY experience with the company, which consisted of being told I would be called back, and then not being called.
THE LAST ONE MEANT FOR MT2
Thanks!
14,000 - that's what I meant to say! nm

Sorry, I meant see msg

I meant even that isn't much FOR QA...

Sorry, I think I meant DSG. nm

I am sure that is what was meant.
Would you tell your child that determination is not enough? I felt that it was not appropriate to tell a future grad that she cannot do something when there is not one of us who knows her well enough to make such a judgement.
sorry meant WILL NOT
get that rate at Deventure
what I meant was...
that I had information and if you would email me, I would share that information in a private email.
Sorry I meant to say just . . . .
Sorry I meant to say just my opinion.
That's not the "M" that I meant.
:)
Sorry...meant
Remember the MTSO/hospital has the ability to change the way lines are counted and not allow you to check your lines...run like the wind from a company who will not allow you to have access to line counts!
You KNOW what she meant. - QA
She probabloy is in a dither.
he/she may have meant
that people who get paid weekly no matter what (I suppose that could be management, tech staff, office staff, whatever) do not understand the importance of consistency in line counts for someone paid by the line.  Do not stay in the twilight zone too long.  GEEEEEEEEEEEESH.
I think what Rad MT meant
Was that typing on an MT board and performance at work were two different things. You can't get fired for posting a message with bad grammar, spelling or punctuation. However you can get fired for making mistakes in reports on the job.

However everyone including RadMT needs to calm down.
Sorry....... I meant to say those at FN....
xx
I meant..
something not someone.
I meant that is sad
Spheris has sucked out my last brain cell, LOL.
meant doing one now.
 
I meant the OP :-) nm

Sorry...meant MDI, not MDS
:)
I meant......
I have nothing to do with 'India'.
In your mind if I say that Indians are intelligent, this makes me in your eyes an Indian?

I know that a lot of people read these comments, but still they cannot detect my 'dialect'. I think you mean 'accent'.

Can people who read what I write hear my accent?

Not such a good 'Sherlock Holmes, aren't you? I can tell 100% this and that...and I can tell, you can tell nothing.


I meant to say yes, yes, yes - keep looking/ not yes, yes, yes take the job! nm

I meant to say 7.5 cpl when off QA
thanks
I meant thank you to sm NM
x
I think the OP meant

Working a required number of hours vs. being paid an hourly wage.


I meant to say, So, I appreciate that I am the only one
me straight. Just looking for a little direction since you seem to know where the work is. My family would appreciate this help, as if I could earn more, we could eat more. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, this was meant to go under
.
That is what I meant - sorry
even if you are not scheduled to work that day. TT is the only company I know of that pays 1.5 for lines typed on holidays if you are not scheduled to work.
We all know that she meant TTD, come on! nm

I don't think that is what he meant...

At the Q, you are limited now as to how many blanks you send in.  Does not matter what the reason... discrepancy, audio problems, doesn't matter.  Right now it is at 30% but soon are to be down to 20% and then 15%.  It doesn't even matter if QA can't even fill it in, it still counts against you!


QUALITY, Medquist style.


Sorry meant to say

Do 500+ reports a week and send only 1-2 reports due to MY error.  (provided you consider indecipherable ESL MY error).


I need some coffee, not awake yet.


I don't think she meant the MTs...
are doctors and pharmacists.  I think she meant the interviews were of doctors and pharmacists.  I've done that kind of work.  Yes, there are lots of medical/pharmacological terms tossed in that type of work. 
EEK - I meant thank you to TW :)
xx
Maybe you were just not meant to do
Some of us do really well with it. I love it and would not want to ever return to straight totally again.
Of course I meant...
learned HOW to use...

Time for me to go to bed!
I meant gone down
nm
Meant this is not.
