Management of any company will make you think it is "just you" having troubles. If you are

I make this, too, and also not management. Top pay for Medware is 8.5. nm

Really bad management. This company will
never tell you the truth about anything. There are much better companies out there and if I were to work for them it would be on a part-time basis only. If you are full-time with them they will hound you to death.
Which company has the best management/team leaders

Can you give your experience of which companies have the best people in place for their team leader/supervisors, and what you liked about that person/company?  In other words, what set them apart from other places you've worked.  Thanks!


LOL Everyone I guess that says something good about a company is upper management.
Make sure you get your facts straight before you call me upper management.

If anyone would like to email me, then that is okay with me. I dont know how to add my email addy on here, but if you let me know how I would surely like to email you.
Gerri, I worked for a company as management that had would hire
a lot of American transcriptionists just to get the ball rolling on new accounts, and little by little would send it over to India. The company would have me send a little bit of work to India, have it QA'd on our side, and send it to the hospital. The better the Indian company got with the account, the less work we would give to the US transcriptionists. The nasty emails from the US transcriptionists got to me after awhile, along with my conscience, and I quit for the company.
It is a Pakistani company, all upper management are pakistanis.

company is bad but the Tennessee management team is the worst. Run! -nm

"Just two thousand dollars"
I hope you are joking right. That is a lot of money. As a single mom that would probably get me kicked out of my house for not paying rent and get me in trouble for my car payment, cause my utilities to be off, etc. To most of us that is a lot of money. Simple two grand does not describe it for me if that happened to me.
In response to "just the opposite....."
Well, HATS OFF to that MT who got that account! About time someone gave up and stood up to do something for herself to survive this mess.

Quote: ...cannot even get 0.13 per line and most clients want 0.12. Rediculous!

Honey, I'm an MT and I am salivating. From annuals in or around the 70Ks, to living out my savings, I am now on the credit cards because the services are in a tizzy. Got Valium?

Obviously, because the way things are for you services, we MTs feel the need for protection in working for same, regarding overall integrity and how that damages us.

The workers did not ruin it for the companies; we did not make it so damn competative out there. That one is between all you organizers and the VR creators. The only thing we are guilty of is doing good job that made you shine when this profession was, in fact, a profession.

Yet, you people (aside from a select few these days) ARE ruining it for us, rendering it useless to continue without ethical boundaries in your attempts to keep the company afloat.

Well, and I'm so, so sorry, but the MTs ARE this business with an -ist.

So, I guess it has finally some to this: Unionize - or pair up and organize. Reclaim self-respect, self-worth by getting hired on for say, 11 cpl, even. It only takes ONE facility for me, just one.


..and that should be "just" not "jsut". I am frustrated right now LOL

Maybe it's a "just stop doing it" thing. I really
doubt mods have the time to go through every page. If it really bothers you click the report button. If they deleted everything that wasn't supposed to be posted...there'd barely be any posts. I'm taking it as a warning, and if I post something like that I won't be surprised when it's deleted.
Are you the same "just wondering" who emailed me?

ignore her, "just a thought" might sm
need an advocate some day!
Anybody ever hear of a company called Specialized Information Management?
Do they hire at home ICs?
DSG is a great company, pay on time, nice management, incentive, but SM
occasionally work load is an issue depending on shift and account but if you're willing to be flexible, you should be okay.
your name "just me" tells me how minute you feel,
WHO in the world would call themselves, Just Me. Like I am a nobody; a brainless unimportant to be hear is a Just me.
"Just me" means just me and no one else, that simple, go to work

"Just get to your darn keyboards and work!!!!"
Oh my gosh, who are YOU to tell people to get back to their keyboards?!

::crackface::

Unbelievable!

I still cannot get over the fact that you said that. You may say that to your own children but you don't say something like that to an adult/s.

Where did you grow up? Heaven help us.
I meant instead of saying "just quit or something else as ridiculous without addressing her, prov

Good company, pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, nice coworkers and management has
always been very nice to me.  Incentive for MT over production goals.
The name of the company alone is enough to make
me stay away - like all we do is type.  Owners obviously aren't MTs and are only in it for the money.
You will not make more because your company
is not paying enough at 3.5 cents a line. I make 4 cents a line and yesterday I had 3245 lines at 4 cents a line and 275 straight at 8 cents a line which was $151.80 for 8 hours. This would put me at mostly VR work at 1518.00 for a 2 week period.
???? How can any company MAKE
doctors dictate so the MTs have work. It is part of the business. If there is no work, there is no work.
Or it could be that "your company" couldn't quite make the cut.
eyes wide open
If you can make the grade, this will be the best company you have ever worked for.
What specifically would you like to know?
Telling a company when you make a move
That is being held accountable for letting someone know where you'll be for that time.  I still think IC for flexibility is the way to go.  Furthermore, don't be surprised when that is someday thrown back in your face.  It happens.
Wow, Will that then make Spheris the largest company?

Does your company make you do the fiddly work? (sm)

By that I mean, how much lag time between sending one report and getting another, how much demographic stuff, searching for place names, doctor names and cc's, consulting of account-specific instructions, all things that do not pay, are you required to do?


Right now, the company I work for makes demographics and cc's easy.  OTOH, each account is very different from another in format and style, so that takes a lot of time. 


Once upon a time, I worked for a company in which I estimated all the 'fiddly' work took about 10 seconds per report (large hospitals), which I thought was pretty good.  Not like that anymore.


Thanks for any insight and input on this.


Is lousy, 4-5.5 cpl. I make 7 cpl at the company I work for now.
FN's platform really slows you down for editing as well.
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm

Hello Management

Give me a break!  You are a supervisor, and I know who you are.  Spare us this bologna.


 


SB


If only more management could be like you!
I'd buy you a drink as well! Thank you for the kind words.
Management again??!!!
kidding. "Excellent program", is that why everyone is leaving OSi, because it is so good??!!!
Management...don't you have anything to do?
If TT is growing by leaps and bounds, how do you have the time to get on here and contradict the truth?  You don't like negatives about your company, but you're not perfect either.
I am not management -- I don't even
work for them anymore! You can state your opinion, but you are giving inaccurate information about things such as benefits and whether or not you can use ShortHand. Obviously I wasn't all that thrilled with them either or I would still be there.
lol, I have been an MT for 20+ yrs and many of them in management.

I don't know when the management...SM
was ever great, it was bad 4 years ago when I was there and from your description things haven't changed a bit since then.  A bunch of office people with titles, the MTs typing all the work are ignored, avoided and treated badly.  We used to call the office in Pittsburgh a kingdom because it was filled with people who never worked past 4:00 in the afternoon, 2:00 on Fridays...never to be heard from until Monday around 9:00 AM.
Not management
I never said I agreed with them docking your pay for errors.  BUT, I did say that they only do it if you fall below 98%.  Isn't this the norm?  Keeping an accuracy rate of 98% or better?  So why would you worry about being docked if you maintain 98% or better?  They are like any other MT companies, they want quality reports. 
Not Management
potatoMT RIGHT ON

NOT management and sorry you could not cut it. nm

Definitely has to be management ..SS
AMEN !!!
I am definitely NOT their management.......
or anyone else's for that matter.  I am just a lowly pee-on MT with 6 years experience trying to make an honest living, and get nothing but lies from this company.  I am looking for other work, just like the others who have emailed me privately, who also work for them now and are in the same predicament that I am in.  Work flow lying is the main problem with this company.  They say there is none, but, in fact, there is.  They just turn you off.  When there is work, why not give it to us???  This question has been asked by us more than once.  Lots more companies out there, so we will just keep looking.
Why don't you take this up with management. (sm)
As far as bonuses being offered unnecessarily on weekends, I think they like to be caught up as best they can on Mon morning, unlike a lot of services who get behind on the weekends.  I don't think it really has anything to do wtih overstaffing. JMO.  I thought there is extra pay for Sat or Sunday anyway, isn't there?
Must be management. They are NOT one of the
best companies, the absolute worst one I have ever had contact with and if you look through the archives there are many, many more who agree with me. 
I am not management.
I am a very hard-working, high-producing MT who has as much to lose as the next MT. I, however, am choosing to keep an open mind and know that my work speaks for itself and decided that this new opportunity for me sounds like a good one. More work, job opportunities, and help in becoming an even better producer sounds good to me; guess not to every MT though.
I'm not Management... (sm)
What, you think I'm a *plant* because I'm seeing it half-full instead of half-empty? LOL If you'll go back and read a couple of my earlier posts regarding this whole thing, you'll notice that I worked for MQ (until they were bought out by furrinners) and I've been around for 16 years as an MT - IC, SE, employee -- but never as Management.

All I'm doing is repeating (again) what was explained to the DRC employees in the web conference and what has already been posted here to be read by anyone: If the client requires USA-based MTs, that's the DRC side. Yes, they'll charge more for the USA-based MTs (who will be paid more than the Indian MTs) and it would therefore be in Acusis' best interest to have as many USA-requiring clients as possible. Yes?

(Unless, of course, you're going along with the suspicion that the Indian MTs will be passed off as USA MTs and the clients won't know the difference.) (And man's first steps on the moon were filmed on a Hollywood sound stage made to look like green cheese...)


NOT MANAGEMENT
But I love working for Transcend, what is wrong with someone saying that? They are flexible and do pay very well.
