Ignore it. If they are just basically e-mailing

In Reply to: Question for IC's. I would like to know how IC's which I am are able - waterbaby
do not feel compelled to answer an e-mail that has other MT names in it. If it is directed right at you, then answer when you get the chance. Don't feel nailed to the computer.
Now if they are using IM, that is a different story. Instant messenger is control in my honest opinion and as an IC should not be part of the deal.
If you know your accounts in and out you may want to stay and just ignore some of the e-mails that get you hot and bothered.
I also am an IC for an online company that does mass e-mails when there is work to be done, but it is not directed right at me but to all MTs on that particular account. I do not feel the need to answer each and every e-mail unless I am the only addressee. Of course, you may not know if they are blind copying, but just my opinion.

You basically said ignore cherry-pickers.
And what a cheap shot to claim someone else can't read. Have fun being a bleeding-heart loser! To say basically ignore someone doing wrong is by default to defend the action.
Why would there be a mailing
to all past MT's? What's that about?
no faxing/mailing
x
If they are mailing overnight, then they are using
a service such as Fed-Ex, UPS, etc., or maybe even the postal service. Not cheap by any means.
Do you mind e-mailing me also?
I currently work at a hospital, but I have to come back home to work due to my husband's job. I really need a job that is real flexible, because my daughter has special needs.
TIA!
E-Mailing from site
My apologies to you for responding by e-mail. It is late and I hit the first tab.
I totally understand. I had some disturbing e-mails once from someone who did not agree with post I made in the past.
Anyone mind e-mailing or posting CPL? nm
*
I don't know what kind of mailing system
they are using but it has never gotten to me under 10 days and like I said that's after being mailed late the day of payday. So now when others tell me they mail their paychecks, I either turn down the job or don't even bother testing for the job. I am not in a position to be paid like that. I think that's the case for most people at the moment.
However, I am still looking.
Just like they save on postage by not mailing SM
paystubs anymore. Every little penny they save fills their pockets, not ours.
Would you mind e-mailing me with this info...
if you don't want to post it here? TIA.
Would you mind e-mailing me what the name of the company is?
nm
Higher up PM told me packets mailing out on 9/30.
.
TJ would you mind e-mailing me I have a few questions I am confused about. I think you can from my f
x
you are correct :) It is more than typing, there is e-mailing and following up, but oh sooooo worth
/
If you are an AAMT member, they have a mailing list that corporate sm
members can use two to three times a year.
I don't see ANY MT company names on this list!! Everybody PLEASE start e-mailing.
x
Seems you're spending more UNPAID time/work e-mailing..sm
and xeroxing as if you were sitting there with no work. 
so..basically
what I've gathered..
- MT, like most other professions, is unpredictable.
- It is possible to make 25k, but not common.
- Formal training with a program such as Career Step is not a requirement, but it would be an asset.
- There are other ways for me to become educated in the field besides a formal program.
- And, finally, you get out of it what you put into it.
I appreciate the advice and insight from all of you. I will take into consideration when making my decision. Thanks again.
Ignore them if you can.
I didn't think you were management or brown-nosing, nor did I see anything wrong with your post. I don't think it is old biddies, I think they are extremely young or at least they seem immature to me. They are like little gremlins or something. The very second they see anything positive said or someone asks a question, it seems to irritate them and they crawl out. Couldn't tell you why, but don't worry about it. Everyone that reads these forums are not that way. Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and I for one am glad to see someone happy with their company.
Ignore this
I have no idea why this double posted, but if someone could delete one, I would be much appreciative!
Ignore them
Oh my gosh just delete them. That's what I do. They are not asking you specifically to get on and work so if it's not your shift why are you getting so upset about it? Use your delete key.
Basically the same goes for me
The local physicians I work for require me to keep all the notes I transcribe. They're all stored by date. If I didn't keep them, they'd have a lot of missing files. Don't ask me what they do with them, but I print the reports directly to their printers and it never fails (twice today in fact) they're looking for the notes. Sometimes they're looking for notes that I typed 6 months ago.
I AM SO SORRY... PLEASE JUST IGNORE US...
Have I no shame, you may ask, and rightfully so. If I were truly of sound mind, that would be a very fair question. Unfortunately, as I have detailed below, that is, sadly, not the case.
There is hope, however! You see, as I was about to fling myself into The Hillbilly Acres Memorial Septic Tank, I was amazingly stopped by the engineer who was, AT THAT VERY MOMENT, servicing said septic tank. Can we all talk about timing??!! This kind man informed me that he was looking for an assistant and I was OBVIOUSLY PERFECT FOR THAT JOB! Of course, I was forced to perform a few acts that were rather displeasing to my various personas (hey, haven't we all been in this position at one or another time in our lives!) to acquire said Asst Septic Tank Engineer job but it is going to be worth it, I know! Soon I will have money for health insurance and MEDICATION and will never darken your MT doorsteps ever, EVER AGAIN. I PROMISE!
Now, until then, please, PLEASE, I BEG YOU, IGNORE ANY FURTHER POSTINGS FROM US/ME/IT/WE/ETC.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation with us!
Basically I'm saying
that if you don't get anywhere with your supervisor, if it bugs you that much and you are suffering for it, go to their supervisor.
CONSIDER THE COURSE & IGNORE.nm
Basically happy with MQ.
Line counts okay, too.
I ignore verbatim
and use common sense. If it is obviously a woman, ADT screen if you are on DocQScribe will tell you that. The doctors have these degrees but they are not perfect. Nobody is. I have a doctor who does not even know how to count, 1, 2 4, 8, 7, ??? Now I do not type this.
We are smarter than the docs sometime and just forget about verbatim in those situations.
They do not even know how to spell many meds either but you can't go verbatim here either.
You will give good patient care by typing what is right and ignoring the doc.
Ignore the above post. nm
x
Ignore the troll.
p;
It basically means that
you will qualify to submit your finished documents directly to the facility (hospital, doctor's office, etc.) that the account is for instead of having all of your documents go through QA first. I honestly cannot remember what the initials stand for...it's Direct Submission...something...lol.
I usually ignore these things too
This report was from a couple days ago, so I don't think things have changed. The format is totally 100% wrong in nearly all fields. The thing is, they let these new MTs off QA in a matter of days. I understand there were many new MTs to check, but I don't understand how something like this got through, especially when one of my reports was reviewed and though there were no errors, I was told to use of between CO2 and the number to avoid confusion. Seems a bit picky when you have something like this report going to the facility. There was no additional sign off on this report and this particular doctor is a very, very good dictator, though uses many uncommon terms that need to be looked up. I don't know, I guess I will hold off a bit for now.
Where I am it goes basically by what you are paid - sm
The more you make the harder the dictators, though my manager does try to give an equal balance to it all and not nail you will all bad dictators in one day. She assigns out the work (no pool here) and certain awful ones get rotated between a few of us, some I get to avoid completely as others are very proficient at those particular doctors, and ditto for them. I do some docs others hate, but I like to do, and they like some of the docs I hate. On rare occasion I ask her to not give me anyone too awful as I am sick or very tired and she tried to do so, but only if she can. I don't make a habit out of doing that. But absolutely no one except the newbies get easy stuff on a consistant basis. Kind of stinks in a way, but as I said I usually get a 50/50 mix so it is not too bad. That is what your manager should do, and not play blatent favorites, that totally stinks.
That is basically the same conversation i had with them...
Said they would send me info..i got 2 wacked out samples and i asked about acct specifics and they are confused as to what exactly i want. Seems pretty disorganized to me as well!! Thanks for letting me know...much appreciated
You and me both. I basically just clean up
for brand spanking new MTs at one-third of their line rate. Depressing. But am making a little money while looking for other jobs.
I think all of these companies are basically the
when someone replies? No one is anywhere for charity anymore. Everyone has their hand in the pot these days. That is just part of life. If you think for one minute you are going to ask about a company and only receive positives, you're in for a big disappointment. Why not try the company out for yourself if you are just going to defend them anyway? It does not hurt to try, but from what I read here, there are MTs who have tried and they were not impressed. SoftScript has an advertisement almost every week, so what does that tell you? Rapid expansion? That is a big MAYBE in my opinion. Different strokes for different folks. Good luck on whatever you decide including posting here or other boards. LOL
They ignore both IM AND emails sm
Emails are usually ignored. As for IM, usually ignored also except for 1 person, who is good at answering but she's lower down the pole and isn't the contact person for some of the stuff. She's the only good one there.
How about you just don't handle it and ignore it.
sometimes, less is best!
Right. That's what the article said, basically.
That all correct English is the same, wherever the country:
English in India may have a British hangover but by no means is it vastly different from American English or any other correct English for that matter.
She expects Indians working for American countries to have excellent English ... like hers. If only our visitor could write like that, we wouldn't be appalled.
Its odd, but they are basically a middle man, which
I personally didn't like. It was frustrating at times. Also, in my experience, we got the bottom of the barrel work from the hospital, even more than usual for a national. The pay was low at 8 cpl, which I understand is still the current pay, so I'm sure DiskR gets a big hunk of what the hospital is really paying. Obviously, I know, its business, but it seemed odder than the usual set up of working for a national. I found it would have been more pleasant just working for the hospital, because you are 100% an employee of the hospital and not Diskriter. I just did not care for the whole atmosphere, lots of cherry picking and more than usual politics, but nobody really to turn to, as the hospital didn't want to know from beans, and DR had its own issues. Very much a stuck in the middle feeling...but not a good one.
OSi because they ignore me about a secondary
.
This is basically the reason that we have never....sm
been able to attain professional status as language specialists. I did try QA for a while after many years as an MT but could not believe the poor quality of the work I was seeing. It made me ill! This never would have been tolerated back in the day. No one would have even dared to apply for a position as an MT if they, at a minimum, couldn't pass a simple grammar test. Even the simple things as in this case,there vs their, tense errors, just no basic English (American) language skills. I do not see it getting better unless people are required to show they know the basics before they are hired.
Just ignore her TT112.
Gloria loves to stir the pot and will post under different monikers agreeing with herself. Oh yeah -- just my observation.
Which basically reads is
that the sorority sisters at AAMT don't care about you, never did.
Ignore her. We are all in this world
nm
Basically, same experience...
I worked there for a while as an employee doing ER reports. I basically had the same experience as you regarding management pressure and unexplained line count deficiencies.
Regarding Karen, there was an MT on my account with this name. The manager that we had for ER accounts was a new manager who came over from Medware (I think that was the name) and Karen was a pet who followed her over from there. There were a lot of people who followed that manager, and, of course, they were the ones who always had work when work ran low. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those pets. I ended up leaving and I'm very happy that I did.
But basically you are only speaking for yourself
I read your posting above and wondered if you dislike it so much, why do it? Is there not another job you can do besides this because the way it looks most companies are headed towards VR. I will make almost $190 today on the VR I work on and I am totally loving it. I would not be unhappy if I did not, would find another business.
Tsk. Ignore above post. Obviously
X
No, she did not ignore the point. sm
She was making the point that if you know something in advance, you should not complain about it later if you agreed to it. Just stick to your point, if valid. If not, why complain because you agreed to it.
Basically, does she owe anyone else money? nm
nm
I talked to a Transolutions MT and basically
she was happy with the company. I try to find out as much as I can about a company when I interview, just to file away for future reference. She was looking for part-time work, and actually said she would recommend them. So.......who knows?
Please just scan through and ignore any MQ news. (sm)
As with any company, when something new comes up there are quite a few posts about it, this happens to be a large company and has a lot of employees.
Just scan through the headings, you don't have to open each one. I bet it will only take a few minutes to do.
Have a nice day.
