LOL---no problem:-) We all read too fast sometimes:-)
I thought I had read in their material
before they took it off their website that they don't pay the MT until they get paid from their client. No way would I work for that type of pay plan.
I thought the same thing when I read it. nm
nm
oh! Sorry. I thought I read somewhere they use ChartScript. TY :-) NM

I thought the exact same thing when I read it, LOL nm
lol
maybe administrator read it wrong and thought it was bad - but I wasn't saying
anything bad. Just an observation and just a vent. Maybe it belonged on the Gab board. Siiiiggghhh
Well said. Never worked for D&L but when I read the "IC" post, that was my thought as well..nm

When I read "that breed", I thought she meant "Arabians". Don't try to clean it up.
You know exactly what she meant. It was obvious.
Great post and very true! I read these today and was amazed that someone's first thought was pay
I agree that circumstances can make loans necessary but the OP sounded more like she uses these on a regular basis. No I'll have to learn to budget for the difference, just oh no, now I need to go to Payday Loans and pay 400% interest.
We have the potential to earn what we need to, although sometimes lately it is harder and harder.
Good for all of you. Wish I had seen these earlier.
p.s. Can someone call and tell my BIL to grow up too?
How fast is the platform you work on?
Because the platform I am on is slower than the snail in my backyard.
I work for Fast Chart and sm
just wanted to let everyone know that Instant Text works with the TAe platform. =)
Anybody work for Fast Chart?
Just wondering if anybody has worked for Fast Chart recently and what they think of the company? Thanks in advance.
better rate if work fast
You also need to take into consideration the correctness of your work with that speed!
I work for Fast Chart. If you will narrow ... sm
...down your questions, I'll give you my honest opinion. I'm very happy there, but everyone's different, you know? What things are really important to you in a company? If you want to chat live, you can usually find me in the MT Cottage chat room (www.mtcottage.com).
=)
Why don't you try contacting --sm
Fox News, as they seem to be following this pretty closely and they may be able to direct you to someone or somewhere for help. Good Luck to you and your kitty!
You will be hired fast and then wait weeks or months for work...SM
You may be asked to invest in expensive equipment, likely to run out of work regularly and not have your calls returned when you try to contact them. They do pay well but the work is NOT there more than it is, so great pay doesn't mean much. They sell it to you great but they don't deliver.
Were you contacting him regarding a position?
What are they looking for now? Do you know if they have a website?
I too suggest contacting them. sm
From my experience they are very happy to try to work things out with you.
Only that they would be contacting me this week.
I got an email from tammy? who said someone would contact me this week, so we'll see.
Contacting Allegiant
The Allegiant Transcription Services Website has a link to submit your resume. Due to the substantial increase in work of late, Allegiant has been unable to answer telephone calls. Please submit your resume and you will be contacted if a position is available for you.
Thanks,
Allegiant Mgmt.
You might try contacting QA directly ...
I agree, this makes no sense and my guess is all the HIPPA folderol is just a smokescreen this person is throwing up (for whatever I do not wanna deal with this or stick my neck out for ANY reason) ...
alternatively -- I would recommend saving each and every report you type from this person AND THEN flagging the report for QA so you can fill in your own blanks if no one wants to help you. I type several doctors who -- without samples -- speak in some impenetrable monotone ... without my file of samples, their reports would be moth-eaten.
good luck - if your company has a chat board or if contacting someone else on that account/WT might be a (much less convenient and/ or discrete) alternative.
Good luck, Yes, people do actually quit jobs over dictators like that ... too bad so many companies seem to blame the MT and some imaginary work ethic problems when the real problem, imho, is lack of support.
All this turnover of MTs (or any other employee class) is VERY VERY bad for any company's bottom line... but so many companies seem to blame the MT personally ... it poisonous.
About contacting an attorney - sm
I too would like answers because half a truth is worse than a total lie because you mislead with half the truth and do much damage. Please clarify these issues for us.
1. Why would the company go to all the trouble to pull this two-bit prank when they could just say good bye to you if they wanted to. You have been ranting to all of us on shift with you for months about how you have been mistreated and were going to sue the company and demand unemployment. You did not tell the good MTs here who are ready to take your side and defend your position that All Type has a 3 strike rule and that you have told several of us that you were written up once for failing to make production of 1200 lines a day and then spewing some pretty foul language in an email to a supervisor about them making you do OP notes and type ESLs and how that was not fair to you. It is an acute care hospital. That is what we do. Do you remember telling us about being written up for falsifying your time card? Honestly, that is pretty serious. If you were the one telling us that, i cannot even imagine what you are not telling us and what your personnel file looks like.
2. I have not seen anyone leave, voluntarily or involuntarily on our team in some time. So who are you referencing when you say a lot of people quit or were fired. No one stays at a company that is horrendous and unfair out of the kindness of their heart. Are you telling us you just felt sorry for the company and the management team you hated and stayed to help them out?
3. Evidently you believe that you are a very high caliber employee and MT. I would think you would be able to go anywhere and find a perfectly wonderful job. I know most companies are just begging for real talent. Unemployment is probably your only alternative because we both know that you are NOT capable of working in any acute care setting - and unemployment and legal sources are going to laugh you out of the offices if you tell them the truth! Even if you fail to tell them the real story, your history is well documented.
4. From all of the foul statements you have made about this company and their management for months and threatening legal ramifications if they mess with you - I wonder why you would want to be a part of a company that you have made clear to any of us who will listen how much you hate All Type and all of the management. I also wonder if you do not know that from the beginning when you started making statements to the rest of us about lawsuits - that the company most surely handed your file over to a legal team. I suspect the legal department has been involved in all of this for several months.
Good luck missy. I have worked with you for well over a year and your professional behavior and abilities leave a lot to be desired. You have been so disruptive that most of your team has blocked you from IM and we are all glad that your drama from 4-12 everyday is finally done. You should have been doing your job instead of driving us all crazy with your IMs and maybe, just maybe this company would have valued you. As it is, what goes around comes around and your cheating, backstabbing, and lies came back around to you. I salute Karma!!!
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work
m
AMEN TO THAT.. I worry all the time how fast our jobs are dwindling down thanks to work going
to other countries and more companies going to the voice recognition programs. Obviously, they will still need proofreaders and editors for the VR stuff, but not as many people. I feel like someday our jobs will just be gone so yes invest your money into nursing or something. Anything else medical is a win-win situation, just not transcription as a whole.
meant arrogant and including. Typing too fast! Gotta get to work! :)

Try contacting someone who has been there for a while to get the real story
you cant go by what someone says that is not there any longer. They are probably holding a grudge and will speak poorly of a company. you only get one side of the story and not necessarily the correct one.
I, myself, have been there for 2 years and plan to be at TH for a long time.
No they dont have incentives. Usually those who do provide incentive lower your base rate and make it look like you are getting extra.
No they dont have shift differential because if they hire you for 2nd shift, they normally pay you a little higher to begin with.
They DO PAY Holiday pay but you have to work if you dont ask off. Thus, you get holiday pay plus your line count which comes out to be double time like you are supposed to be paid.
How many companies do that?
NONE that I know of except TH.
Of course no company is perfect and if there is, good luck finding one.
I get paid on time, pick my own schedule, expected to work my schedule or notify them if I cannot stick to it for some reason, get QA feedback respectively, etc.
They have been growing in size and have been adding management to deal with the size. That is the only change I have seen in management.
I suggest contacting Medware
wanting to know information that should come directly from them, not people "that they think they are in the know."
If you're contacting clients ...
maybe they'd be interested in the following.
Extortion threat to patients' records
Clients not informed of India staff's breach

Try contacting them again. Navesys has been a blessing for me.
I took a job with Navesys a few months ago. The work has been steady and so have my weekly paychecks.
Contacting labor board.
Could some one tell me how to go about contacting the labor board about an issue with my employer? Since I am a remote MT do I contact the labor board in my state or the state my employer is based? This has to do with pay that I believe was deliberately shorted out of my paycheck as a retribution because I did not type reports on my secondary account that were approaching TAT when I was contacted about it by instant messenger an hour after my shift was over. I wasn't even at my desk an hour after my shift was over. I also found out a couple days after the fact that an email from my account manager's supervisor was sent to an email account I no longer use stating that I was requested by my AM to type some reports so they don't go out of TAT and would I please log on and complete these reports.
Now, lo and behold, my paycheck will be short by almost 800 lines because these 800 lines supposedly sat in QA and weren't completed by the time the pay period ended, even though my shift ended at 4 p.m. on the last day of the pay period. I have worked for this company for a whole year and this is the first time I have ever heard that the MT is not credited the lines produced until cleared by QA...and I'm not even on 100% QA. Furthermore, I can't see how I would have even SENT 800 lines to QA in a day. After multiple emails to both my AM and her supervisor requesting some sort of documentation where these lines went to, I still have heard nothing in regards to this and I'm fed up. Is this something the labor board will even handle?
I put a blurb about not contacting until a mutual agreement is met. nm
tt
I love the one where the MT was bashing a company for not contacting her..
Person from corporate contacting me via email regarding my posting today
I have no reason to meet with you, have a good job and certainly do not care to discuss with you where you send your work. I know what I read and it was quoted by a top official at your company. Even though you said the newspaper slanted the story like they wanted it to read, I saw quotes and never saw where the paper did a retracation of the story.
I don't work there, but I thought
your summary sounded quite realistic.
I don't work for his company, but if he really wants to buy up companies, he could save a lot of time by just buying one - MedQuist. Then he could leave the good companies alone, LOL.
I get it now. I thought you were subbing out all your work, and thus just getting like 2 to 3 cpl
profit to run your company! I get it now!! I wasn't looking at it from the perspective of you transcribing it, too, which makes a lot more sense! Thanks for explaining!
I thought you didn't work for MQ????????
MQ is not for the transcriptionist.
MQ is for the company.
I wouldn't get any work done, but the thought of sm
of a food pedal is great..... Hmm, could make a ton of money.....Where's that patent list???? LOL!!! Nice to have fun on this board once in a while.
I thought it was just the ones who work in SHINE sm
that felt we might be losing in this merger. Thanks for letting me know I am not alone!
I did that - and was denied a bonus! There was no work, I thought will
later, typed, typed earlier than my schedule the next day, next day also during my schedule no work, - heck I wasn't going to sit there in front of a computer dialing every 2 minutes for 5 hours.
Then I get a call that I didn't work my shift. I said there was no work. In fact there was no work all week, was lucky to get the lines I did. Bonus denied.
I will never help them out in a pinch again (they called me to do the bonus!) and I will never sign on when they are drowning to do "bonus". People who call me to work extra, and then don't pay me for it, don't get much of my work after that. There are people who pay me for the time I sit and transcribe. I will spend my time at their work, not at a liar's.
Why MQ doesn't get it about "If you have no work - don't expect me to sit there" - is beyond me.
People can't sit up 24 hours a day chasing work to transcribe. It should be on MQ's back to direct work flow so that when they know people are going to be signing on for their DEDICATED and ASSIGNED shift, there is work for them to do. Don't let hogs get in there who are not supposed to be working and type all the time, and then there is no work for people who are signing on for their schedules.
And there should be a legit hourly wage set in stone not by some formula, that pays an MT to "sit there and wait."
I thought Transcend did not offshore work.

I thought it made a difference to work
but unless you are working for the hospital it doesn't matter, you still get what they want you to have. I asked my last supervisor if they get psych work and was told they did but she saved them for another MT who liked them. The work I would get would be one-minute mush mouths. It sometimes took 20 minutes to complete one. That's the way it stayed until I finally left. I think that's an MT service thing because when I worked for the hospital, I typed whatever was next in line, no cherry-picking and no favoritism.
Sorry to hear that is happening to you. Hopefully, things get better either through communicating the problem or by getting a better job situation.
I usually work both jobs until I determine that the new job is really all I thought it would be. nm
And slaves thought it was great if they got to work
x
But I thought all Transcend employees had to work
That doesn't make sense. I could see that a lot of domestic MTs don't want to work 3rd shift and they need the coverage, but if all employees have to work at least 1 weekend day, there isn't much dictation over here on 3rd shift except for the occasional stats. It would seem they wouldn't have enough work to keep the overseas MTs going. I can't see an overseas service staying in business when they're only getting a few stats on each account for a couple hours on the weekend.
I don't even work for them, but I can read SM
and I know every time someone mentions this company you are all over the thread, making multiple posts about your particular experience. It was A WHILE AGO. But you are still holding a grudge or beating the same drum, whatever you want to call it.
Actually, I thought her post was professional. Do you work at MDI? I doubt it.
she can most likely weed out the MTs just by their posts anyway if she's dealt with them at all. She did the right thing to simply state MDI MTs can come to her IF they have concerns. It's great to share info, but not ALL posts are by sister MTs sharing the good word. There are many, many who love to incite drama and there are always 2 sides to every story! Anyone can come on here and claim they are great MTs and do all that is expected of them yet are treated terribly by a company, but that sure doesn't make it the truth. About how many MTs do you think are at MDI? And how many individual MTs are here complaining? Not the same posters using different names but single persons. Do the math and figure out from that how many are unhappy at MDI, and my bet is your percentage will be low. I know of a lot of MTs very happy at MDI with enough work. But then I'm sure the naysayers will just claim those are the favorites or something.
Did you not read all the posts about no work, that if
you had bills to pay this wasn't the job you would want?
If you work for Amphion please read
I think my post got lost in the shuffle down below. Pleeeeeze somebody I need an answer. Just email me if you like.
Can anybody tell me how long it took you to get up to production speed at Amphion. I have been here three months and still nowhere close to where I was at at MQ. I can't go back to MQ, too much going on there. I need to get another job or get parttime somewhere unless somebody can tell me that I can get up to where I need to be. I have alot of experience but this platform and demographic stuff is killing me. TIA
read the archives. also, low work
times outside of the holidays is just plain poor staffing, which can be done so that everyone has enough and the work is kept up. It has been done. Problem is, getting people to do more when there is a slam. No incentives for it? they won't come through. company solution? overhire.
not anonymous - I do work for Keystrokes, I thought I made that clear
I do work for them, it is hard not to trust anymore but yes, I do work for Keystrokes, I thought I made that clear. The other poster seemed cynical. I understand that. I love working for Keystrokes. it is an honest company. After all the other companies I have been with it is refreshing!
If you read the email she sent about 2 weeks ago - more work by 01/23/06. nm
