It's called "professional pride" - people proud of the way "they" do things.

You can't win with these types of people, and I think you're right, it's trivial nonsense. Best thing to do is leave and find a more reasonable employer - they're out there.

Does anyone have any info about a company called America's Pride? (sm)
I can't find anything on the web and know only that they type VA records. Has anyone ever worked for them? How are they to work for? Do they hire IC/FT/PT/statutory? How are the line counts, platform, etc? Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA
I was called and one of the first things they said was..
do you read the message boards and do you have any questions about what was said about our company??!! At that point i had not, but since i have browsed and looks like they are not a very well liked company?? I would like to verify this as well.
See, my company has these things called days off! Cool, huh?!?!

Please go ahead and be proud. I am proud too! sm
 I am proud to be an American too. I am also proud to bring home a good income for my American family. I am comforted by the fact that I always have plenty of work, never run out of work, and I can easily get 6000 to 7000 lines beyond the incentive point for even more cpl. I am proud of the fact that I am always paid on time or early. I am proud of the company I work for and the people I work with. I am proud to be associated with Cardioscribes and Tonya. No company has ever treated me better than Cardioscribes does. I am treated with respect and kindness each and every day. If I have any problems, they are there to help me in any way they possibly can. I am proud of the fact that I know where my company stands and where I stand within that company. Cardioscribes does not hide the fact that there is an Indian affiliation. You go ahead and be proud to be American. Your pride just means more work and more $$$ for me and my proud American family.
Old Timey? What a "professional" sm
way to place an ad! Obviously this person doesn't realize that those of us who have been doing this for a long time keep up with the latest as companies go into newer technology! Good grief! That is an insult! I just turned 50, been doing this 27 years. Gee am I suppose to now be buried in the old MT cemetery? Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Hope you are right. I would have thought some people would have been called by now and might know
what is going on. I just have a feeling SE might become part time employee but I hope not. That would limit the hours we could work. You still have to wonder if Spheris is in the picture and they have no IC or SE do they? Dont think so.
Maybe they are tired of hiring so-called experienced people sm
wwho get someone else to test for them. Maybe they want to hear the correct answers straight from the horse's mouth so to speak...
People do things like this
because people let them. Have you contacted law enforcement? You should.
The people at CardioScribes called us transcribers. I wasn't offended, sm
but I always thought a transcriber was the piece of equipment on my desk. The other poster is right, though -- better than typist .. UGH.
But that is why she has people who work for her, to take care of other things when she has
mmmmm
Some people just love to stir things up.
agree - most people only have good things to say about MDI-MD

So what is the problem with these NE people. No one is happy with the way they run things and I dont
see it getting any better. I think the NE people better start rethinking their plans because they sure aint working up thar in New York.
For people with other things scheduled in a busy life
That does not work.
I think people will try it and just wont be able to do it with other jobs and family things. nm

America's Pride
Any feedback on America's Pride located in Virginia. Good, bad, indifferent feedback appreciated. Thanks.
I have far too much pride in my work
to put my name/initials on a report that's not the best I can make it.
Now, that's not to say that occasional errors slip through. Of course they do. Not long ago, I e-mailed QA because I'd pulled up one of my own earlier jobs from the same day--and saw a big boo-boo in it where I had used the wrong expansion (mechanical valve instead of mechanical ventilation or something like that). The QA person alerted the client, pulled up the job, corrected the error, and sent the revised job back.
On this platform we cannot see other people's work; but when I was working locally, I would see crazy mistakes all the time in reports that came in from the hospital. Ironically, I couldn't get hired there myself because at the time, I had no acute care experience, only a mere 36 years of clinical....
A little info on Task Force Pro and America's Pride
I don't have any info on them from personal experience but did find this info on a search. I'm assuming I'm allowed to place these links.
VERY interesting article. Sounds America's Pride had a contract with Medquist who was accused of sending active and inactive veterans' info overseas to be transcribed. Don't know the outcome, but for your reading enjoyment:

If anyone is or has worked for them I would also be interesting in hearing about them.
Also, if MTSOs want MTs who are loyal, hardworking, and take great pride in their jobs by truly ....
dedicating themselves to knowlegdge and producing correct, Grade A reports, then how about paying us as the highly-trained, skilled, hard-wokring, tecnical, workers we are....we are expected to always stay abreast of every medical procedure, drug, medical instrument, operatative procedure, and special procedures, in every specialty (especially for those of us doing acute care and surgical, also radiology/nuclear medicine), we must update references, computes, learn new platforms, train our ears to decipher the SLOPPIEST, LAZIEST, RUDEST dictating physicians, not to mention all the various dialects and accents from all over the world, have superior knowlegein grammar, punctuation, and style....there are highly-paid executives who cannot keep up with what we do, honestly. We have sold ourselves short for way too long, back when I first came home out of hospital, I was lucky to get 6.5cpl, back in 1994, doing all acute care, had 7 different hospitals, we were one of the first live systems. I was out of work, and after getting my associates, being a part of the AAMT (who never helped me personally), 28 years of in-house training, radiology, surgery, etc., it took me months to get someone to pay me what my knowlege/dedication/experience warranted, I still had MTSOs offering 6 and 7 cpl......what??? and I am an IC right now! I finally found an MTSO who is paying 12cpl, and I work my tail off for her, love the company, but I still believe by and large that we are being fed CRUMBS OFF THE TABLE. How do I know? I have a friend who has a company with 75 MTs, I see what she bills and what she pays, and I also know what other companies are making off our backs. Not all MTSOs, to be sure, but most. And remember MTSOs, a lot of us old-timers who were trained in hospital and college, are going to retire, if you want to attract really good young MTs for your company, you had better take a better look at your bottom line and what you are investing in...IMHO!
Just curious what does that mean? "They sure do"
Im not catching on..... thanks :-)
Sorry, meant "they're" not there.
nm
"They" ALL overhire; it's please the client first; not the MTs.
Pardon the typo should be "they are" all bad
NM
WHAT part of "they will use posts like these....
to prove damages, don't you get?
It's not about whether or not you CAN say what you want - it's whether you want to help the case against GP..
THINK a little harder about the point I am making...
Supe says "they rock!" This is so disgusting
to hear every time they put some new MT's on our accounts.
Today it's all jokes being sent out in emails! Just what we need, more emails!!!!!! We can read joke books or joke calendars. Would rather not have those sent by our SUPE in company emails !!!
Look down this same page for the "THEY HIRED ME.." post. nm

One supervisor I had actually said, "They should be checking these reports." uh no, not dr
and she still has her high-paying job while me and others are in the dirt.
and do you mean "THEY" meaning DeVenture or in general?
If in general, that's nothing new. If you mean DeVenture, then I'm glad I got turned down.
You said it: "They made good money."
I don't mind working hard if I am getting paid accordingly. Doctors and nurses make good money to work weekends. My sister even gets a very nice shift differential for working evenings, nights, and weekends. I get none of that. I get the same 7 cpl regardles of when I work. Hardly seems worth the $12-13 an hour I make to give up the precious little time on the weekends I get to spend with my family. Guess each just has their own priorities in life and mine is not work.
proud of you.
x
Is that the one that is so proud of being run by all women?
x
good for you, but why are u so proud of that
????????? some people can'twork weekends so good for u if you like it who cares
Proud American
Good for you! It is also time to let the patient know where their sensitive information is being sent. We are only 5% of the world's population, and if we don't safeguard our economy and jobs, we will all be cleaning houses for the rich of the world that come here to suck up what we have left.
Proud, not prideful!
Dell is an American company that outsources as much as it can to save money. I didn't realize that when I bought the computer a few years ago but only found out when they made a mistake with my bill. Then I got sick and tired of being called day and night by people who didn't understand anything I said and vice versa.
Why should I waste my time trying to decipher somebody's bad English because Dell is too cheap to hire Americans? I have nothing personal against the workers but it is so annoying to listen to somebody mangle my native tongue and a waste of time if you can't understand each other. If the person's feelings were hurt, well I do apologize. It is very rude and disrespectful of Dell and other companies to fatten their wallets at the expense of their fellow Americans. And THEY are disrespectful to the workers they hire if they hire them without making sure they are fluent enough to provide good customer service. You get what you pay for.
MDI does not offshore. They are proud
grateful for our country and the talent it has. Not everyone offshores.
Of course they are proud of offshoring SM
...they are shameless. More and more I am beginning to believe that the tide WILL turn back to the American worker. Swings both ways, something they are not worried about. Anyone who offshores has something other than the American worker in mind. Besides, I've worked for the head honcho biscuit eater types and they appear nauseating and pompous (and that's just an impression from the tone of their emails). Good luck to Transcend employees.
Yes we are PROUD of our group & have NOTHING
NM
And proud of it baby. Laugh is on you lol

You get what you pay for.. for 1.5 cpl what do you think your getting.. high quality. No proud MT w
and of course those kinds of companies thrive on that. I mean really. 1.5 cpl.. No one with any experience or common sense would work for that!!
Bravo for you! Keep up the good work! You should be so proud! nm
nm
and you are proud that you sacrifice quality for line count?
Too scary to be believed! Hope you never, ever, ever transcribe a report on a cancer patient!
You are a piece of work. Real pro. Any company would be proud
to have you.
MDI-FL/Transcend one and the same. Proud to outsource and not protect American MTs.
We have no job security.
Eyetype is proud of herself - on other posts she calls herself an old hateful bigot or
something to that effect. I just totally avoid anything with her name in it - such a waste of eye sight. Obviously, her husband, if she ever had one, checked out on her, and she's a miserable evil person. Poor thing, though its hard to feel sorry for her when she's so ugly.
They have called me twice and I have not yet called them back
Per your recommendation, I just might. Thank you.
I called and called and e-mailed my STM. When that got no
results I went over her head. Got another account, but with 3 accounts still not enough work to get in more than 20 hours/week. I worked a shift that was part 2nd/part 3rd. Some days OT was offered, but then there wouldn't be work the next day.
No one called you a joke, just called the post a joke because
we all know better, but you're entitled to your opinion. You're the one insulting saying those of us who don't like SS probably couldn't cut it and that is the reason for our complaints. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who ever worked for SS to agree with you about how wonderful they are. They aren't getting new accounts, yet they always have an ad running - umm, let me think why that is.
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?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
No. Expect good things, and good things will come
