made, one might just quit because she will make your life really nasty, especially when she's the supervisor's friend.
And this does not only apply to Axolotl. It happens everywhere.

Ya, but it's not a spelling error, it's a grammar error!
Get it?
Sure does, and the only thing anyone dares to post is
what they thought was funny from a VR error, that the line counts are slow coming in, or is anyone else having a problem. You do not dare to post anything controversial or you will get the pink slip you have been looking for.
ERROR....
I posted the above asking for information about Transform, Inc. and said they were located in Wisconsin. I made a mistake they are located in Missouri. Thanks.
error sm
supposed to be hire not high resistance....darn expander!
Not a lot of room for error
If you know the BOS 2. Then apply. If you don't. Do not apply. A very strict MTSO to work for.
Then what you said in your first post was in error. sm
You specifically said, and I quote *The American Medical Association allows foreign nationals who practice in this country to join their association and nobody thinks a thing of it.* That was an error then, right? Because they are certifying and allow members from other countries, who have driven the working wage down and taken our jobs. That is the reality. Did you see where union workers are very angry about the illegal aliens. Why do you think that is? Do you know that it is projected if the illegal aliens continue to flood this country, the minimum wage will never be raised. Illegal aliens and offshoring benefit the greedy employer and the rest of the work force are punished for it. I'm so happy you can be so magnanimous about it. If you are certifying members in INDIA, PAKISTAN and TIMBUKTU, you should take the name AMERICAN out of the name of the association. Period. Full stop. End.
you DO get an error message BUT
you can just bypass it. it says that you are not connected so it cannot get rid of your job but just click cancel and when you connect it will get rid of the jobs. it is the voice files it is trying to dispense.
Good luck with your Grandma!!
Have you figured your error out yet?
nm
Now here's a spelling error!
foreing?
Your post has an error....
If you do not proof your email when I applying for a job, how do we know you will be more careful when transcribing?
Does that include the recruiter proofreading a post on this board? I see an error. What gives? I know you are not an MT, but can you find your own error?
I would have to assume that works both ways. Have a great day!
That's not the only problem they have. I get more error
messages and downtime from that crappy program than I spend working. Nothing is user friendly and its always one excuse after another why it can't be fixed.
that would be **** chained*** error n/m

My math error, sorry. sm
But it is not for me, I don't want to do 2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour, for 7.5/lines for $150. bucks. Burn out. Nobody should have to work like that to make a living not with the junk dictation.
but ya all go ahead..
If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Sorry, error made here and I meant to say
it was NOT as much as I first thought. Sorry :)
QA error values survey...
I am just curious and trying to get a randomized answer regarding error values when an editor/QA/QC audits reports. For example: Major medical error has what point value, minor English error has what point value, etc. Also, if you don't mind stating what company this is or was for? If you would rather email me, you are more than welcome.
Subtle way of correcting her error. I like that.
nm
The e-mail I got didn't say anything about an error. If
there was an error why not just say so and tell us what it is and put our mind at ease. The email Thursday assuring us the money would be in our accounts by the end of the day or checks overnighted to us shouldn't have been sent when they know it wasn't going to happen. Not e-mailing us first thing Friday to tell us what was going on didn't help things. I'm fairly new so I'm not in panic mode yet, but then my bills are paid and my cabinets are stocked. I do think the situation has been handled poorly and for top management not to address the situation is irresponsible.
Mine didn't say error either
This is the part that is so unsettling for me too. And the fact that the human resource/payroll person doesn't even know what is going on and the fact they will not let her know what is going on is what is unsettling for me. If they would just come right out and let us know what the heck is going on, then I would be a little more at ease. But, no one is saying ANYTHING. However, supposedly the money is there.......
I guess it depends on what your error was.
x
Yes, they do. So sorry to have made an error and forced you to have (sm)
to take your time to correct those of us who are not perfect.
This was in ERROR-was referring to Trans Tech!
This post below was in error. I thought you were referring to Transtech - all of the same applies, however, great company (Trans Tech) pay on time, etc etc:)
She didn't make 1 spelling error that I can see.
nm
Not the Op, but do you not see a simple grammatical error in your post? nm
.
It all depends on the percentage of the error assessed.
I have worked for a couple of companies who charge an extremely high amount of points for punctuation errors. If this is the case, one can definitely dip into the 80s with punctuation errors.
That is heard, not heart. Must be a subliminal error!
nm
YES it requires more, well-know 50% med. error rate in hospitals nm,
. We have much more to know and keeping educating across the board than most medical people as we cross across ALLL medical/surgical specialities and related disorders/meds/products etc that go with them
I once saw an Indian error where he/she changed the name of a famous street
which was mentioned in a report, just because he/she didn't realize it was a street name. The Indian MT changed it to say something real romantic and inaccurate, like The patient was on the street where the lovely sun sets. It took me just a moment to realize from the context that the dictator just mentioned the street name, Sunset Blvd. No way an American would change that!
Must have typed too much, lots of spaces taken out. I'm not error-ridden, what's up w/that? nm

ERROR: 1.60 PER MINUTE OF TRANSCRIPTION, HOWEVER, HAVE THE TIME SPENT WAS PASTING

Just found out I have to buy error/omission insurance to remain IC. So long MDI.

Geez, that was a sloppy, error-ridden post on my part. Yikes, sorry...nm
,
Excellent point, and point in case
look at the charlatan christian in the
Whitehouse who uses religion to push his agenda...
Christian IS as Christian DOES...
I understand your point, my point is why can't MTs and QA work together..
being QA doesn't mean you are above everyone else, you are just an extra set of ears...and why do so many MTs take offense to QA??? That is my point...you made have had bad experiences in the past with QA but not all QA are bad...
Actually, I can see your point AND the opposing point
.
I do see your point. sm
I just don't know how bringing up old news affects the here and now. The article did say that Linda only referred to this time period as the "black hole."
From what I can tell from the article, a lot of court, attorney and ESI quotes were quoted, but no real fresh news, i.e., something present. If this article was never published, I would have never known.
I also understand and recognize your personal feelings. How do you think that this is going to impact you and/or the MT community? It could go both ways of gaining clients or very wary practice managers.
My point exactly, and....
Respectfully, if this story had not been published, you would not have known. You would have not been fully informed of the business history of fraud. What if, for example, instead of selling your business to her, you entered a partnership with her ?? And then found out this history in the newspaper? If it were me, I know I would feel pretty ticked off and deceived. That negative association could possibly last a business lifetime for you.
Execuscribe (Linda) had awards locally, and has been in several news clippings and featured in Inc. magazine. She is definitely in the public eye. She has to take the praise along with the truthful reporting of fraud in her business. She owns both. Would you vote for a political candidate with this history??? Would you want your son/daughter to marry somebody with this history??
Her clients may jump ship -- I know of 2 MTSOs locally who have already received inquiries to change providers. They may change, they may not. Are they wary? YOU BETCHA! But, why is that? Not for anything they have done, but because they may be lumped into the "Execuscribe" category simply by association of being MT. Don't ya think that's a bit unfair? From what I've been told about questions asked to these MTSOs, they have to go in with their defenses lined up about how they DON'T do business, before they can even present how they DO business.
There was no "slant" to RBJ reporting. Simply the facts taken from court records. It's fresh news if it has not been disclosed previously. I, for one, will be watching them closely.
you do have a point! nm
That's my point
The "not saying more" poster said "Don't believe everything you hear about Transcend. The GOOD MTs like this company" and made it sound like if you didn't like Transcend, you weren't a GOOD transcriptionist. Those that left were there for years. They must have been doing something GOOD with the strict QA to last there for years. If they were that bad, why would Transcend expect them to sign a waiver not to sue when they leave? Transcend could always say that the MTs sucked, they were unreliable, their QA was terrible, etc. Instead they want to clear themselves from future lawsuits. That alone says a mouthful. So "not saying more" is just plain wrong in assuming that it's the MTs at fault.
You have a point.
That would be the only drawback for me was the pay. I make 9 cpl now and at Amphion I would probably only make 7.5 to 8 cpl maybe. But I love the fact that I wouldn't have to work, weekends, evenings or holidays and I can spend that time with my family. I also am trying to consider the fact that if I get a good tax return this year I will pay my SUV off and that would save $300 a month. My baby is due any day now. The hospital I am working at has me working Labor Day (if I am not in labor), and Christmas. I worked Christmas last year and that was bad enough but this year will be my baby's first Christmas and mommy will be pounding away at the computer while dh, MIL and my other dd have the big family gathering.
OK I am not bitter.....lol. Probably just PG hormones.
I also see the point, however, sm
I meant no harm, just trying to offer help and/or encouragement to the original poster. Most probably I could have done with just saying QA lest someone be offended. I expect anyone who has ever been in the position of having that type of QA person would call that type of person the same, or worse, than I did. Matter-of-fact, in real life I swore viciously at my monitor over that type QA person and called her everything but a good milk cow. 'Course no one saw or heard me and my email to the super was quite professional and simply referred to her by name. LOL
My point, exactly. Thanks. nm
:)
Yes I am, to the point I am looking for another job. nm
x
This is my point
MTSOs have to be willing to walk away. Yes, the facility can find someone to do it cheaper and more than likely, the quality will reflect this. A company I used to work for had a large hospital account with all overseas MTs on it. I did QA for this account. The MTSO was dumb enough to release several of these MTs from QA which allowed them to upload directly to the hospital. I'm laughing as I type this. Two weeks later, the hospital had bailed. Account gone...POOF!
I can only imagine what those reports looked like that the offshore MTs were uploading. QA is like life support for the offshore MTs. They will always need it 24/7. What company in their right mind would allow these people who understand nothing about the english language and proper grammar - to come off of QA? Unbelievable!
and your point is?
That's not the point...sm
Word Expanders have NOTHING to do with being paid for spaces.
That was my point :)
.
Yes they do... but I think the point is that it is not always right.
NM
And your point is.....
LOL.... Having postings proves nothing. And you cannot follow directions obviously.
the point is . .
I've been in this field almost 25 yrs. and even back when things were so much better, there were the catty, whiny people who chose to be unhappy no matter what. At least here we don't have to click on their posts, now do we? I hope as I get older, I won't have one of those permanent frowns I see people like that acquire. Such unpleasantness is such a turnoff. This is the first time I've come to this site in 3 mos. because I got so fed up with the petty nastiness. Sorry to see nothing's changed. :0)
