Comcast and AOL emails
Just an FYI. I recently went back to Comcrap and the installer told me that they made some changes to the way they did the emails, which to him made no sense since everything was going smooth. Now we can't even log into our email address with them. I've heard a lot of Comcast people complain that they aren't getting all of their emails. This has been going on for a hot little minute and they still haven't figured out how to fix it. Just thought I'd let you know that it's an issue with them and not necessarily the people contacting you.
But I absolutely DESPISE Comcast.

COMCAST AND AOL EMAILS BOUNCING BACK
Many of you who requested union initiative information are using Comcast or AOL addresses, and our emails are being kicked back.
Please enable contact at USMLSU dot ORG in your email program; if the email is bouncing we have no way of getting it to you.
If you cannot enable our address, contact us again using a Gmail, Yahoo, Ymail or other web address (create a new one if you don't already have one).
Is this OSI? Figures
They will promote anybody if they are a friend.
it figures
Is that the only thing people come on this board, to insult and correct other peoples English/grammar skills? I was making a point, I did not write my posting to get my writing skills graded by you. I am not a journalism major. The company sucks, they are a bunch of sexually frustrated snotty bitches that hate thier job and its obvious to me. Its also obvious to me who you are.

Figures....
Probably an intimidation strategy to try to stop MTs from warning each other about the company. Sounds like she operates very similar to the postings I've read about Toth.
Can you block her from your email? I probably just wouldn't even bother to open anything from her, since she obviously doesn't have anything of interest to say.
That figures
I finally find a company I like working for with decent dictators and they are laying people off. I haven't even been with Breitner a year so I have no seniority. I thought they were getting new accounts but I guess I better start looking again.
That figures
They actually called me to work for them. I took the test and passed. Then never heard back from them despite me calling to get voicemail and emailing with no response. But just the other day they called me, SURPRISE !!! and we could not work out a schedule for me to work. Every schedule I gave them would not work because I need to work a split shift on Sunday and different times during the week. I've been in MT for 5 years and I never had an experience like that before with scheduling. Now that don't have work, seems its the trend nowadays. I'll keep working part time where I'm at now with NO WORK or all VR in the poor house until I figure out about going back to school or hopefull I can find a halfway decent job and get out of MT altogether.
Your figures
I think there is something wrong in the figures you give:
You said: I make .075 cpl. New ISR rate for me 0.46875 (less than 5 cpl). 11001 lines at my current rate = $1045.09 ---- 11001 lines at my new ISR rate = $735.69
The change in the new ISR rate is off your base line rate, not your current ISR rate. I can't get this to look anywhere close to what I figured for my own pay, and I used similar numbers for lines.
Check if you are figuring correctly. It may not make you feel all that much better, but who knows... Maybe it's not as bad as you thought.
That figures. I just resigned from MD-IT 1.5 wks ago. nm

Who figures out the difficulty premium
see in the packet about difficulty premium and pay, but is every single dictator being assessed and listened to somehow and who is determining the difficulty?
No where in the post did I say that the figures were IDEAL.

LOL, it figures YOU would rear your head
I'll get to work as soon as my shift starts.
I wouldn't want to start earlier than scheduled and 'steal' any of YOUR work, lololololol!!!!!!
Have a lovely green-tinged day, oh jealous one.
My figures exactly, and I have to work longer to achieve

About money, line rate is one thing, but hourly figures are another sm
Traditional: 8.5 cents per line. Top out at 225. $19.25 an hour.
Speech: 4.5 cents per line. Top out at 500. $22.50 an hour.
I split between the two and right now, that is running $700 a week or $36K a year. Not a huge salary, I know, but more than I made 10 years ago.
Could I push harder? Sure, but I don't need the money because I have structured my life so that I only need 1/2 my income to live on and I live alone. I like the part about not being exhausted on my days off, about being able to give up a terrible PT job, and having time to paint AND be able to have expensive, high-quality art supplies.
I am happy as a clam and I do not think that VR will take my job!!!! My only worry right now is that my painting is taking off with art shows, commissions and internet sales. I won't be able to work full time as an MT if this keeps up, and I know it will. I love being an MT and when it ends in favor of my artwork, I will be joyous over one and very much saddened over the other. It is and has been a wonderful career for me.

Not related in any way. n/m

Look at how many are related....
There are several mother/daughters working there, several sisters, etc. You get my point. You know they're getting awesome charts! They send those 5, 12, 22-second charts to the others. Absolutely not fair..... Grrrrr....
Related to whom?
They are related to TTD
Superior uses all different companies to do their work.
Boy, I wonder if he is related to her from etranz
sounds like there is more than 1 crook in this in this business.
Not related, but they sure like they are beginning to
nm
I saw something that made me think they were somehow related to MQ.
It was a list of companies, and Medquist was listed, and then another listing with Milner/MedQuist. I'm not sure what it means, but it sure scared me away.
Work Related
On the job injuries, drug screens, employment physicals, workers comp, etc.
You can ask whatever, but it is specifically related
to company rules, regulations, benefits, etc., best to get it from official sources rather than here.
it is probably more account-related
but like with any company, it is going to vary according to patient load and whether the doctors dictate consistently or wait until the charts are going delinquent. This is not like predicting how many hamburgers you can sell in a day. If you believe in this company and how it operates, be brave, get your feet wet! it's not going to be perfect anywhere. You can always ask for back up accounts.
MDI or LANDMARK RELATED?
Does anyone have any idea if MDI and Landmark are affiliated in any way with each other? It sounds like they both use the same platform (Bayscribe) and have very similar hiring and working practices, so I'm wondering if they are owned by the same people? Also, is anyone currently working for both of these companies at the same time and if so, how is that woring for you?
are they related to Spheris?

Oh, God forbid we say anything Christianity-related!
Like it or not, this country was founded by and established by Christians. If anyone's offended by that - well, too bad.
By the way, I'm an agnostic and if I'm not offended by the words Christmas and In God We Trust, why would anyone else be? Religion is a personal thing and being offended by a major religion and its doctrine is secular and hypocritical.
I can admit who is responsible for starting this great country of ours and if anyone has a problem with that maybe they should go somewhere and make their own country elsewhere. This one is already here and the facts of how it came about can't be changed.
My maiden name is Stillwell - we may be related.
It seems so strange to see my name on the internet and it is not me.
What state are you in?
Are Medquist & Medware related? The same? (n/m)
?
Definitely not related. MW is owned by 1 family. nm

Are you related to Kathie Lee Gifford?
...
Could this be related on On-Point? Where are they located?
..
I click on the related messages and there
are about a dozen. If you will click on one of those links there are usually several other posts where others have responded to the same questions you are asking. Someone has started a private Transtech board within the last few weeks, but there is tons of stuff about Transtech on MTStars.
It's not job related but a generous gift
They believe we each have a responsibility to lessen our carbon footprint on the earth. They give the reimbursement as a reward and a thank you. Another reason I love working for them...it's not all about money and capitalism.
I don't need insurance; questions were not related to that nm

Not sure if related but I worked on Neo PLATFORM,

There are messages from Nov in related posts SM
if what you mean by looking for more is you want someone to tell you it's great, then here - IT'S SO GREAT, I MAKE MAD MONEY THERE, they let me work whenever I want and there is always tons of work and OT offered on all these easy accounts with normals. I think I'll retire with this company.
Does that work for you?

And one not related was the owner's girlfriend
One of the main players who was training etc was the owner's girlfriend. Also I believe the main players all came as a group from Softscript, which is another horrid company. This goes back about 6 or 7 years.
Concern is HIPPA related
I guess they had some HIPPA violations when somebody wasn't cleaning out there clipboard. When I preview reports in MEDITECH, they look just fine. I don't know what to do ....
I didn't take all 21; I took 3 related to the job they were hiring for. n/m

They weren't related at all. Her sister-in-law is my lead and is
wonderful. This person was a transcriptionist who took over HR. No one liked her and we thought she must be related to Lee, but she wasn't.
You use their computer and you can't use it for anything but work-related reasons
Very stupid and very annoying.
is the lack of work related to hiring new MTs?
It is interesting that there was an ad to hire with a hiring bonus in the summer and suddenly the work got low and now agree a couple of weeks after another hiring ad the work gets low.
or if you're not related you could brown nose your way
.
She could remove all MQ-related stuff, samples, etc.
