If you haven't count your blessing...

In Reply to: has anyone requested the test from DocuMed...(sm) - feeling ignored
Documed hires based on false promises and does not deliver. They pick your work apart while training, for stupid reasons, and don't give you but a few days to get up to speed. And if you are canned they wait nearly two weeks to tell you, even then you have to ask them repeatedly. A friend of mine had this exact experience.

I haven't even tried to make my line count
for MONTHS. I know the work load has been low and I have some accounts of my own that I can do, so I have done my own accounts and not even touched MDI. Kinda hoping I won't get yelled at for not meeting my quota but I figure I'll just hang in the background and work when the work is there, and when it is light let the other MTs who don't have anything else to fall back on have it.
Now if my own accounts slow down I will be in trouble...
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Consider it a blessing
You can see for yourself by the postings here what kind of company they are. They put management plants on here to shoot down anything negative anyone has to say about them.
If they had nothing to hide, they wouldn't be so paranoid.
Consider yourself very lucky and keep moving forward...
Blessing in disguise
Your job will be threatened over a nearly perfect accuracy (I'm talking 99+%), you'll be lied to and about, and your life will be made miserable until you quit because of it.
I understand perfection, but come on.
I had the worst experience of my life with this company. Some love it and some hate it. Those who hate it have all basically had the same experience as I had. Those who love it, I'm happy that they are keeping you happy and you haven't gone through what the rest of us have.
A blessing? Yeah, sure.
Who wants a 'blessing' when it's off the back of the patients we work for, our fellow transcriptionists, our country and our economy? Sounds like a future curse to me.
Sorry this happened to you, consider it a blessing in disguise!!! nm

Try contacting them again. Navesys has been a blessing for me.
I took a job with Navesys a few months ago. The work has been steady and so have my weekly paychecks.
yesss, a blessing in disguise and - look out -
because there are tons of bullies on this playground.
In my Extext experience count was about 10% less than the Word count. nm

It means to double check what THEY say your count it. Count
uj
Are you aware of how they count your time?.. or don't count it i should say
nm
WMX - line count. Was working along and noted line count accumulation (sm)
signed off the report I was typing. Those lines didn't add immediately, but sometimes they do that. What concerns me is that when I signed that job off and the next one came up, not only were the other lines not added in but they were LESS than they were before I signed off previous job.
I thought I noticed this happening the other day, but figured I just wasn't paying attention. Today I definitely noticed it. For some reason it changed it's mind and took 8 lines off my line count. What the heck?
Am not really ecstatic with the way things are going anyway and then this confuses me.
Please, someone have a realistic explanation so I don't feel paranoid and cheated here.
Then company should set line count per day with incentives for above that. If get line count done

I haven't, but have been looking too
I have also been trying to find something on the internet for these types of listings. There are millions of ads for MTs and QA specialists, but it is hard to find a good site for managment positions. I have had small success with Monster and Hot Jobs. If you do find any other good sites, will you please let us know too? Thank you and good luck with your search. 
Haven't you
experienced everyone Anna? Congratulations on the 2-month mark!
Sucking up on the boards for the boss to see maybe? You might just keep this job.
No, I haven't tried everyone,,,
and thank you for the congrats. I do hope you're doing better these days.
Come to think of it I haven't either
Line counts all in the fingers and the transmission. I better get a tuneup? Sounds like a bunch of hokus pokus to me.
They haven't, I got something
.
I haven't gotten one either yet.
Should be soon, though.
Hey, how come I haven't gotten any (sm)
samples for all the cesspool accounts I get? We get switched from account to account with no samples whatsoever having been provided.
If you can negotiate being assigned a limited number of accounts then your chances at success will be better.
of course you haven't, why would you
How nice of you to brag about it to others, though. Hope it makes you feel better about yourself.
No, I haven't, but...sm
...I've worked on an account that had TONS of abbreviations, a veterinarian account, so they were all new abbreviations, and it was a nightmare. It's so difficult to decipher exactly what letters they're saying, and if you're not familiar with the specialty it can be a nightmare. Of course, they do request chiro exp, so I guess this person would be familiar with the abbrev, but the abbrev part scares me away. Some doctors just seem to MAKE UP abbreviations. I'm just getting back into the game after some time off, so I'm SO dreading the application/testing aspect, which I know all to well can be sooooooo stressful. Good luck! :)
They haven't even been in biz for 7
years....but if you are enjoying your NO benefits, NO holiday pay, NO overtime pay, NO sick pay, on and on, then more to ya babe! Owners are on vacation all the time...just waiting to retire.
No I haven't...
because there is no need to. When a formula has worked for me for several years to the T and suddenly after a program upgrade it changes, I know it has changed. Of course they are not going to tell anyone it has changed. They might not even know themselves until somebody complains. Ooops, got a job, gotta go....
I haven't been to their website in a while, but they used
to advertise about how they had the best MTs in the industry. I worked as a QA and know for a fact that if they are breathing SS will hire them without or without experience, so that is an outright lie. At this point a warm body is about all they can get to work for them and even that might not be for long.
I haven't. In fact...
the thought never even occurred to me till the other day when my Editor told me another girl on the account almost went with them but chose not to. She's now in the same boat I'm in and regretting it, I'm sure. My editor knew people who worked in-house for this account but have since lost their jobs and she has no way of finding out where this account went. I definitely can't ask the owner of the company I'm with because emails go unanswered 99% of the time.
Well, I haven't seen ads like that for some time SM
so I can't help you with company names. The only thought I have is that your best bet would be a small local MTSO in your area.
I already do, and haven't even started yet
I had the most terrific interview! It sounds like a great place to work, I'm thinking it's a good place for me to be. She made me feel *appreciated* ...and after MQ, that's a very nice feeling. It also sounds like I can really just sit down and pound out the lines and make a lot of money, which is what I really want. But the appreciation is nice :) And Bayscribe looks like it's going to be a breeze, PLUS they converted over my PRD Expander file, so I don't have to start from scratch making my abbreviations all over again, terrific! 
Maybe you haven't been there long enough
I don't know what you consider great money during training but from what I understand, I would go broke if I had to work for the hourly rate. I make much more than that and have for quite some time with this company.
They aren't all bad. There are ups and downs, just like anywhere else but I'm satisfied.
haven't heard anything about them....
but I did a Google search and here is their website: www.archivus.net
how do u know if u haven't worked for them?
mq seems nice 2 on the surface.
just curious
No, I haven't had any QA problems at all
I am very happy there
I haven't gotten particularly bad dictation and
really good dictation. I did switch from not using the quickbar to using it and I'm not sure if that's when I noticed the change or not - but it makes sense that if you are using the quickbar you are not typing out as much so you should be making MORE, not less. Maybe I will go back to not using the quickbar and see if I make more again, but I don't really think that's it. Something's funky is all I know. If I could make $30 an hour on a consistent basis I would be happy, but I just can't seem to do it ever anymore.
I haven't been cheated
After working for two Major companies, I think Cymed is a great place to work. My adjustment to pay without spaces started before I worked for Cymed. I heard the hospitals won't pay for them. My line counts are always high and match my paycheck. Maybe I have more years experience or my word Expander is bigger than those of you who are unhappy. As far as I am concerned, I've been out there in the MT jungle and Cymed is the best by far!!
I haven't had enough work at MDI-MD lately.
I get up just to find there's no work. Then it will start coming in and I start working, only to run out. Hard to keep a rhythm going when you keep running out of work.
I haven't heard anything.
I am interested because I do medical billing as well. I am waiting to hear back to see if they hire people to do this from home.
I haven't left, but....sm
I'm seriously thinking about leaving. I've actually been testing and sending out resumes for the last week and a half. They must have way overhired. My pay is almost 1/4 of what it used to be. It's been horrible!!! 
haven't heard
I spoke with a recruiter there for a long time two weeks ago and was emailed benefit info etc. on the company by that recruiter and told I was going to hear from someone else in a couple of days. After that I found out from someone who works there that they received HUNDREDS of applications that weekend and that is why we have not heard back yet!
No I haven't heard anything :( SM
I did pass a test with Echo, though, and have decided to accept their offer. I'll be working part time for Echo right now, so if PMSI comes available, I could do both (I told them--PMSI--that I wanted to work part time).
I e-mailed A again, but still haven't heard back from her.
Just Me
No, I haven't heard from them either. NMd
d
I haven't heard of any (sm)
I work there too part time. I rarely see anything posted about them, good or bad. You can email me if you want, just state you're from here because I don't open up any email that I don't recognize someone or something about.
Is she still there? I haven't heard from her either. nm
nm
The reason I haven't already done that is.... (sm)
... that I don't think any of the potential employers in this area use MT Jobs or MT Stars to look for employees. My old employer had some secret way of finding new employees; never could figure out where. Yet I don't want to be knocking on doctors' office doors, either! I do have some docs I used to type for in a hospital setting, before I quit, that might be able to provide leads. Do you think a letter or call to them is proper? (Esp. since some work for the hosp. I now type for thru a service.) Don't want to step on toes, just want a low-volume, high-paying supplemental account so I don't starve to death for the sake of staying with a co. that offers health ins.
Haven't heard
anything about benefits changing. I am an Editor and we just got a simple email that we are going to hourly instead of salaried as of Feb 1. We used to get paid for down time but I think that's a thing of the past as well now. Nobody tells you much of anything.
I haven't received it. Please try again.
Goldbird
I haven't heard anything yet either.
The website says they are still working on scheduling and hope to be done this week, so maybe we'll hear something soon???
Haven't applied yet
But considering applying. Sounds like a good company so far. Thanks for the info. Let us know how you like it. Good luck!!
LOL - haven't run out today yet.
nm
Hang in there - maybe they just haven't gotten through
all the resumes they received yet.
I haven't noticed that.
Frankly all my accounts have been so low that I haven't worked enough to notice a line count difference. Some of my accounts pay more for headers and footers, some don't pay at all. That sounds pretty shady to have a 27% reduction though.
I haven't seen an MT job in the paper since the mid-80s!
