Kinda closed-minded, but you're entitled to your opinion.

In Reply to: Pay-shmay. There isn't enough money in the world - for me to ever to go the Middle East.
I'd much rather work in Saudi Arabia than downtown Detroit. Talk about double-ugh!

Because you are tunnel-visioned and closed minded
I've stated in NUMEROUS posts that you refuse to absorb that:
1. I took no cut in pay.
2. There is no compromise to patient care.
These are EXCUSES you've developed in your stubborn mind set to fall back on as justification to refuse to do VR, rather than admit you're scared you won't be able to cut it. It's as simple as that.
You're a completely negative force and I refuse to engage further with you.
Go ahead, trot down and apply for disability. Just more work for the rest of us who have open minds and are able to adapt to change and keep up with the times.
Adios.
You silly, closed-minded, judgmental woman...
I am part of the MDI/Transcend merger, so if I choose to laugh at the irony of the entire MESS we are ALL involved with, I will.
Who made YOU the LOL police, or did you self-appoint yourself to that all-important position?
Get a grip. You're not the only one stuck in this crisis so climb off of that cross you're dangling from and save a tree, mmmkay???
I'm sure I'll love having YOU as a new co-worker *eye roll*
You are entitled to your opinion, but
No MT in their right mind should quit a job until she is sure about the new job. There is nothing wrong with juggling 2 jobs for a couple of weeks to make sure it's a good fit. Too many MTSOs bait and switch MTs or make empty promises. The MT has every right to be weary. Again, there's nothing wrong with accepting the position and working 2 jobs. Not everyone can afford to quit 1 job cold turkey and wait 4 weeks for the next paycheck to come in.
OP: Is this job paying you a flat rate during the training period? Probably not.
Of course you are entitled to your opinions... sm
and entitled to your right to free speech, as well. The problem I had with your original post, going into minute detail about this conference, is that you presented it as FACT and while a lot of your info is, in fact, fact, you injected your personal opinion in with those facts and it makes it more difficult for those not invited to the meeting to sort through the ideas expressed. IOW, you were not an unbiased reporter merely presenting who, what, when, where, why and how.
Additionally, your original post left out what, to me anyway, was something of major interest: That the Acusis CEO has been a thorn in the side of some of the big-boy MTSOs to the point of being sued for calling them out on their less than honest billing practices, and that he intends to continue to push for transparency in that arena as well. That statement alone was enough to make me say Yee-Ha! right out loud... but you forgot to mention it.
We are entitled to vent once in a while--sm
we do the job and most of us are thankful that we have the jobs, but every job has its annoyances. To never be annoyed about anything is totally unrealistic and *foolish*. Lighten up!
well, all are entitled to opinions. I thought it was very funny! nm
n
That was not my case. I was very open-minded
and hopeful that things would work out. I based my decisions soley on my experience and not the experience of others, but like I said AL is good because I'm in a much better place now.
I disagree, but I'm not the argumentative type..we are entitled to our own opinions though. sm
Have a wonderful day!
freak?...immature, simple minded post
nm
right attitude, this opportunity is for smart, open-minded people.........nm

FYI - she had it closed before
I'm sure others got the same message when they tried to post. This was sooo fun; let's do it again sometime! ya know, when you're more on your game!
I'm sure everyone was so entertained by all of this. I quite frankly have agreed and posted to you on other threads and I don't really think you're a moron. I do, however, think that you went a little overboard with the copy and paste.
I think we all have our moments when we think we know something only to find out we really didn't...
It's been a learning experience for me, and I hope for you, too! Have a terrific night!
This thread is closed. sm
First, this topic has dwindled into tit-for-tat insult trading both in this thread and the one below. Both threads are locked.
Second, if you want to talk about cherry-picking, it belongs on the Main board as it is a transcription issue in all companies. A word of caution, though: Make sure you discuss the issue and stop the personal boxing matches and name-calling. If you have problems with a thread, do not try to police it - report it properly, please.
Thanks,

MQ Asheville NC closed several sm
years ago because of off shoring. Seems an employee suspected off shoring because the dictated and transcribed times that were coming back did not jive. Did some checking and confirmed her suspicions. The real kicker here is that this particular MQ office was doing ONLY VA ACCOUNTS! Hows that for giving out identities. Nothing like all the information on our soldiers, names, SS#s, etc. etc. She reported this. It was on all the news stations, big news. Long and short of it, they closed the Asheville office. People offered jobs in offices in other states or at home EXCEPT the person who ratted on MQ. I am sure her career is ruined but we need MTs who are not afraid to stand up. This profession is getting way out of control!!!!!!!
You're allowed your opinion and I am allowed to

They closed the Mahopac NY office
Now, everyone in eight offices is sharing work? What do we do when they were already shorting us?
did - several times - and even closed and reopened.
 bizarre.
I work for them. Not sold or closed.
Heartland already closed two offices
in India...they are surely closing down entire transcription business by coming December
Sources saying they were never making any money in transcription business. How will someone make money by sending work overseas and that too not keeping a track of what each individual Transcriptionist or Editor or QA is producing?
I thought the other Heartland had closed
shop because of their financial situation and bad business practices.
Good luck to you in your business.
I used to work for Lanier transcription before it closed.
I worked directly there at the site in Florida. The Lanier machine (like dictaphone) is great. If you use the Software developed by Lanier for text it is also great. I would not worry about the difference. I actually preferred that system to the C-phone. Of course now we have Dictaphone Extext with the demographics filling in and the 2 working together. But the Lanier system used to be wonderful. I worked on it for many years. High recommendations to that product.
Did anyone else when they closed have problems with their insurance not being paid
even though the premiums were deducted from your check. I found out my policy had not been paid since October 1st and had to catch it up on my own. Letter and email have gone without response (no surprise there) and phone has been disconnected. Anyone know what agency would cover this. Would have to think it is illegal to withdraw premiums and then not pay them. Seems to me I should be reimbursed for those 3 months.
Heartland Information Services - 3 Branches Closed
YES MY DEAR. ITS TRUE. ALL THE EMPLOYEES THAT WERE WORKING AT MUMBAI, HYDERABAD AND COIMBATORE WERE FIRED AND 3 BRANCH OFFICES CLOSED BY HEARTLAND INFORMATION SERVICES MANAGERS. ALL WERE COMPELLED TO SIGN THE RESIGNATION LETTERS. THE COMPANY WAS NEVER PROFITABLE IN THEIR HISTORY AND WILL NEVER BE PROFITABLE UNTIL THEY REMOVE FEW MORE BIGHEADS
uh, and you did a little throat jumping yourself there - mail-order bride? broom closed?
.
keystrokes ad..can someone tell keystrokes their banner ad needs a hyphen...quality-minded
nm 
It's kinda like the Irish.
There are people who feel compelled to set off a bomb just to keep the war going. That's you.
Are you entertained by all of this, and can't bear to not continue the conflict? And here I am, adding to it. Well, actually my issue is with YOU, not the company.
Kinda of late to run away when most of
us were KICKED OUT.
I kinda hope you don't.
I've landed in a similar place and I don't want somebody mucking it up. I, like NorCal, has an exclusive account. It's a wonderful feeling seeing there are 12 jobs there, and knowing I can go pour a cup of coffee, take a shower, check the mail, or even paint my nails and know that those 12 jobs, in no danger of going out of TAT, will be there for me. There are days where the account is light, but they are balanced by the ones that are bountiful. I have no desire to poach on anybody else's account and accept the light days as part of the rhythm of the job. When they add new accounts, I can ask for a piece of that, but until then I respect other people's work, and I sure as heck would hate to see this place turn into your type of snatch-and-grab tactics, because it's great being able to go to the bathroom without worrying about a vulture picking the work carcass clean.
I kinda had that same thought, but I tried to stifle it.
I see some of these posts where people brag about making big bucks on their own accounts, and it just boggles my mind because their spelling and grammar are atrocious. Why am I having such a tough time making any money at MT with a 99.8% or higher QA score?
Ew - kinda scary! Thanks for the warning everybody. (nm)
(nm)
kinda agrees with my point
great new insurance -- NO DETAILS AVAILABLE --- trust us, we have anonymous posters on a board that say they love working for us.
haha - actually I kinda' like it better as a DO-DO list! nm

Here is my question.. kinda long..
I work as a trainer for a great company; however, the pay is just not there. I asked for a raise with no response. I have been in the MT business for 20ish years. I have and do perform QA duties, MT duties, etc when needed, but unfortunately the company I work for does not care. I truly love working with new MTs and new employees. I just want to find a company that wants the same. Any suggestions?!
lol...yah, person sounds kinda mad
/
LOL, it DID look kinda like something Focus would do to get applicants....
We all need an occasional giggle...Thinking Focus posted that to attract applicants was pretty entertaining :-)
Kinda like you should check your capitalizations?
Because she's not simply expressing an opinion, she is on a rant about a company she doesn't even intend to work for. If you don't like what you're offered, don't accept. It's that simple.
Sounds like there's a lot more than the MDI offer that has her off to the races.
There are constructive ways to present your argument and there are less constructive ways that make one appear a bit over the edge.
Nice way to pick on another poster's spelling though. I'll bet you're one of those delightful ladies that try to rain on everybody's parade who's happy, too.
Next time, check your own posts very carefully before you squirm in delight at finding a typo in another poster's post.
Have a lovely day :-)
Ever analyze this kinda stuff???
Those ticker-tapes that run along the bottom of the TV screen during news broadcasts, such as local news channels, MSNBC, CNN, HLN, etc?
I love to watch those just to catch all the typos (yes, I sometimes sit and watch the news for an hour to catch the highlights and find myself obsessing over the typos the ticker contains, lol!).
Oracle...nothing. Kinda disappointed.
I thought they liked us?
I kinda don't think they give a rats azz.
Hey if they can get us to work for 8 cent s a line, 150 lines an hour for a whopping $12.00 buck/hr. Hey!
May even be less and hour as the trend is going lower than 8 cents a line. Plus they keep hacking away at the lines counted by reconfiguring the system to give certain letters a value of this or that, or no value. It is a bad profession.
Sounding kinda paranoid.
Why are you so up in arms? Some of your comments sound like you're a caffeinated conspiracy theorist.
For instance, you think IC's billing statements will be scrutinized.
Uh, I have no problem with my bills being scrutinized. They are absolutely accurate and in keeping with my contract. Why would anybody be concerned unless they were trying to fudge the system, hmmmm?
As far as companies putting Spyware on ... pfffft. I go through a HIPPA compliance training session every year. Takes, what, 10 minutes? I sign the paper. Everybody's happy.
Mountain.
Molehill.
Learn to differentiate the difference and you'll be a much more relaxed person, IMO.
Kinda like being RAPED, and then believing
nm
excited in a scared hopeless kinda way
Yeah, they kinda help to get the message across. Barb, let me
know if you need help finding them.
whoa what kinda mistakes are YOU making?
You work that many hours and I am sure there are a few screw ups here and there in your reports from tiredness. I mean even your posts are very hard to understand.
Not sure why the negativity and sarcasm ... kinda sounds like the old
lover scorned thing ... LOL. No company can probably say that it never runs out of work, but I have 2 accounts, and have only had to go to my secondary account maybe 10 times in the almost 1 year I have been there now. At least the management team at TT cares. I have worked for companies where I ran out of work, and the response I got was a laugh and just take the day off. At least TT will get you another account.
As far as your remark alluding to the fact that if we were so busy working, we wouldn't be here -- do you work 24/7? Also, TT is not a sweatshop. We are allowed breaks.
Maybe you had a bad experience with them. No company is a great fit for everyone, that's for sure. I have seen people rave about companies on here, tried them myself, and thought YUCK.
It is only 6 am and my shift doesn't start until 4p, but I guess I shouldn't be posting here since apparently it implies that TT has no work ... LOL.
LOL .. kinda funny when they try to be mean and can't even spell. Good for you. nm
Hmmm...sounds kinda fishy to me.
They need to give you a straight answer.
I kinda have the feeling this is a Cardioscribes account ...
... it just sounds so similar. And if CS is outsourcing to them (and they pay 9 cpl), the 7 cpl would make sense. Not that it's anything close to respectable pay.
Clearly, it's so much more financially intelligent to just go straight to CS if you want this kind of work.
Ya know, I've been kinda depressed about not getting hired by them...
even though I'm sure I did well on their test and got the mass E-mamil stating that there were some evening shifts open and they would get back soon as more positions open. Just reading about how great they are and me not even able to get hired made me feel, inadequate. Maybe, I'm lucky I didn't get hired?
Who says you have to give your correct name/address/etc? I did it .. was kinda fun. nm
Kinda funny huh? Guess no one will get hired, LOL!
Geez people ~ take that off before posting an ad looking for MTs!
I thought it was no only VERY easy, but kinda fun, after the initial panic !!!
I received a job offer the next day which I also accepted. Nice to be working with you.
