Appreciate the thought, but it's good enough for me
...and more than you usually get in the workplace, so I'll take it. Thanks, Michelle.:)
I thought the pay was very good
It ran from 14-18 based on production......if they had direct deposit, I'd STILL be there!
I never thought of that, good luck. nm

good perspective, I thought of this too when sm
I posted yesterday, thought this may be happening, i.e., helpless situation for supervisor who prob. relies on so-called expertise of that worker, perhaps does not know medical transcription herself. It is a concern your name/work record being ruined.
I thought it was good when I charged
I charged that even for half pages. I did clinic work, so most were only short letters. Doctor was happy and I was happy. I transcribed in Word. The difference was made up when I had length letters for the workers' comp cases, so it all evened out.
I'd shoot for that in a minute!

Are you being sarcastic or serious? I thought it was a good post. nm

Good to know. Thought maybe I was falling through the cracks. nm

Ew, I thought they were one of the good hourly ones. Changes my opinion of them.

I had no idea, I thought Medware was one of the good guys.
Guess I won't be applying with them after all.
To those already with them, I hope you can all agree to not assist offshore typists to take jobs from US MTs.
Really? I thought it sounded like a good line rate.

I thought that cpl seems a little too good. Without spaces would make sense. Not
sure how much you really make per line without spaces.
GOOD. This is important. Glad you thought ahead.
.I think we as women are condition to wait and see how it goes. Has it really ever gotten better -- whatever THAT was. We need to learn to believe our gut. When My Office Genie sold to MQ, I guess she (carol) was so fearful, she made the anouncement and wham, immediately gone. Had it all planned out in advance packed and gone..
I saw this posted some time ago and thought then, hmmm, not a good idea
You were outraged and it was very apparent as you spoke then of they knew who you were and you really spoke your mind. I know we are supposed to have freedom of speech but having said this it was like you did not care if someone came after you and now, well seems like that has happened. I am not saying it is right but sometimes good to keep thoughts to yourself, especially now since you have heard from the state. You said you are flattered. I would never been flattered to have someone sue me. Seems like you bit off more than you can chew.
That's strange. When I received an offer, I thought it was competitive and the benefits were good
especially medical insurance benefits for family. Maybe I did not look at them very close. Could you elaborate on what you were offered? I really thought they were decent pay and benefits.
Good advice, and advice that I'm giving real thought to ...
If I had known that they offshored before I accepted employment with them I never would have gone there to work. I've been here long enough now though to not want to lose my benefits.
Still ... making a DECENT PAYCHECK and making a living without being stressed out over the type of work that I'm doing is just as important as good benefits.
I thought no news is good news, too. Then got email about
p
I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company. I work days (and some nights) with this company. I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night. Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working. Do you have to have set hours at your company #2? Thanks for the suggestion.
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

Futurenet...sm
Do any of you know of any MTSOs using Futurenet software...iType, iPlayer, iSeries, iText?
Futurenet uses it.

Can you work out of your home for Futurenet? They are located in Monrovia, arent they? I think they used to be in the same industrial office area as MQ.
futurenet
TONS of ESL, but pay is excellent and they have weekend & holiday bonuses that are very good! Very flexible and easy to work with.
FutureNet
Thanks for the info. I was offered a position with them today. The account that they told me I would be doing I know has a lot of ESLs. I am debating whether to take the job or not. Anyone heard of HPI (Health Information Partners)? It seems like a good company. Thanks again for the valuable info! Have a great Xmas.
FutureNet
Has anyone heard anything about this company - good, bad or ugly?
FutureNet
Terrific company, excellent pay, office staff,QA and Tech Support great. Other than no benefits, company extremely hard to beat
FutureNet
We've definitely had different experiences with the company. I've typed for them as an IC for about 2 years - guess I've gotten used to the account and dictators. Some are still bad but for the most part, they're ok. Quite a while ago they did have a gal in the office that was hateful but she's been gone for a while now, and I've found the rest of the crew to be terrific. Sorry you had a bad one with them, though. It is so hard to find a decent company; feel I found it with FN but went through a lot of companies until I did.
FUTURENET
Please let me know if you know anything about this company. How is the staff, etc.? Thanks!
FutureNet
It is a terrific company, friendly group. Typing platform is one of the easiest I have ever typed. Have worked for several companies and highly recommend this one.
FutureNet
Anybody working for FutureNet? Any info, good or bad?
futurenet
I have been with FutureNet for about 3 months now...after leaving Medquist...had been with Your Office Genie before MQ took over...15 years total. What you have at FN is a good portion of the old staff that was at the Monrovia office of YOG/MQ. I find them great to work with and have enough work and so far no problems..but then I have known most of them for years...mtgal847
FutureNet
What do you have to do to be SE with them? nm
Futurenet QA
How is QA at Futurenet? Do they dock for blanks, follow strict BOS or client specifics, quibble over commas, etc?
TIA!
FutureNet
Great company, great pay, direct deposit if line requirements are met and a lot of ESL dictators
FutureNet
Does anyone out there know what transcription program FutureNet uses and how difficult it is to learn? Just finished my shift at MQ and am exhausted from DQS...Thanks!
FutureNet
They use a word-based program called iType for some accounts, but I believe they use something else for another (which I'm not familiar with). I use iType on my accounts, and I found it very easy to learn. Hope this helps!
Futurenet
I just interviewed with them and saw some posts asking questions. I did my homework and asked a ton of questions based on experiences with other companies and some things I saw here. They were perfectly willing to answer them in detail and were very frank about the accounts and the difficulty, etc. Some places try to skate around the real answer, and that is not what I got here. I don't start until later this week, but I just wanted to let anyone considering know that they had no problem with questions that other companies sometimes act like they don't know or just don't want to answer, and believe me, I had a list!!
Futurenet
Anyone know what's going on at Futurenet? Really good people to work for but now usually running out of work or NO work. Heard they hired a bunch of MTs from MQ. It sure feels like MQ. Work o.k. between paydays and when payday gets close, the sharks who don't work other times decide to come in take all the work from those of us who stick to our shifts and are there all the time. I'm sick of companies like this and I'm really disappointed. Looking for PT work to fill in. I have a certain amount I have to make each day and now instead of doing it in 8-9 hours, I'm working around the clock and 7 days a week because of this. I'm sick of it. You would think management would look at who is there day in and day out, or at least cut out PT when there is no work available for FT. Oh, well - just sign me blue
FutureNet
I'm with you. I have been at this for 6 years and met my financial goal this last month. Now, am running out of work every day it seems. The thought of going to a new company is dismal because it takes me about 2 months to get up to speed on the learning curve. It is so very discouraging. I am ready to look for a new vocation if I could only think of one!
What is going on with Futurenet now? sm
Is work still low? Have they lost or gained any new accounts? Any changes? Curious about future employment.
FutureNet
Unfortunately, the work flow is still low.
FutureNet
I work for them, and they have 550 jobs this evening! Something must be wrong. Even though they have work today, lots of times, they are out!! I use for backup only.
FUTURENET
First of all, the majority of the management at FutureNet are former Your Office Genie/Medquist employees and I have worked with them for the last 15 yrs at YOG/MQ. They are great to work with...I always have enough work...and get QA backup whenever I ask for it..if you do not get an answer from the first person you talk to, there are other people to talk to there. Just keep trying. As far as work and workers are concerned, it was emailed out that the work was there but not many MTs were working their promised schedule and they were told they would have to hire more MTs to cover the work...so that is what is happening...it is a very good company to work for.
Futurenet does not. nm
Futurenet
Does anyone out there know how Futurenet counts lines? Do they pay for spaces? Thanks.
FUTURENET SM
Salutations, group. I am seeking information from someone who has or does work for FutureNet. Is this a good company? What about specialities or acute care? I am trying to gather enough information to make an informed choice whether to apply with them or not. Having had some poor experiences in the past, but willing to give another company a try, I would like as much info as possible - both ways - before I spend valuable time applying, testing, interviewing, etc. After reading this board and the other one, it seems that there are more bad companies than good. Also, I am applying for a radiology position where the work is done on-site. Can anyone tell me the going rate for in-house transcriptionists? Line? Hour? I haven't worked in-house in a long time and am totally out of that loop.
FutureNet?
Any current info on FutureNet? I know there have been past posts on them but just wondered what the current situation is like there. Any input appreciated! Thanks!
Futurenet. sm
They have converted 99% of their accounts to the word based program. I believe there are several Expanders that work with their program. As far as their so-called connection to YOG, well OF COURSE THERE IS! Tom Liu, who owns Futurenet, worked for Carole for years and designed and maintained the Cottage program software. When he started his own business, other than maintaining the software, they had no connection and they have no connection now. Good riddance to Carole, I say.
futurenet
what account were you on?
Anyone know about FutureNet
Any info would be appreciated.
FutureNet anyone?
Any current or past FutureNet people care to comment on their satisfaction? Any info appreciated. Are they just IC? How is the platform to work on and do you need a special foot pedal or pay for any software? I know I've heard they have a lot of ESL, but so does my current account, so...was just wondering about workflow, the staff, etc. I'm only looking for part time, so don't know if that would work, but if IC can't see being full time at one place, done that and didn't work out too well when work runs low!
TIA for any input.
