you need to hang it up, she asked a simple
question and you get all bent out of shape and defensive and stressed.
Perhaps this is not the business for your.
Oh be nice...she just asked a simple question...
if you don't have the answer or have never heard of the company no need to respond...geeze...
I didn't say anything about expecting ... I just asked a simple question. sm
I have worked long enough at the company to know their practices so was just surprised, that is all. It is nice of you to chime in with your veiled criticism, though. It is no big deal. I just found out last night that I need new tires for my car, and waiting 1 more day to have that done won't kill me.
There ARE troublemakers on this board, but I was not stirring up trouble. I just know that things have slipped through the cracks sometime and was just checking. The faster I get it solved, the faster I get paid.
No matter what, I hope you have a good day and everyone treats you better than you treat them.
I haven't gotten a response to the ONE should-be simple question I emailed and asked. (m)
I also wondered if anyone thought about the contracts we signed last year and if you felt that was related to this. I personally feel it did, felt like it was preparing them for something, to be protected. It says they can change our pay at-will pretty much though.
Simple answer, because companies lie!
I'm well aware of the fact that boards come with both good and bad. However, the reason I don't go to the company or just read their website is because companies lie...they do it all the time. You are much, much more likely to hear things that are bad about a company than you are from the actual company. They sugar coat everything in order to make themselves sound great, right down to completely lying about things like compensation, work availability, etc. I have had it happen to me more than I care to mention.
Thanks for replying though. I appreciate it. 
Not the Op, but do you not see a simple grammatical error in your post? nm

Companies using simple online software?
Hi all,
I tried to put up first post here and am not seeing it, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself. Anyway, I haven't looked for a job in years but am looking for something to supplement. I work from home for a hospital who uses Wmx's software. I'm wondering which companies use a similar platform, where I just log onto their website and the work is there, no file transferring, unzipping, etc? Is Editscript the same kind of thing, except for VR editing? (I also use Powerscribe). Thank you.
freak?...immature, simple minded post
nm
I agree...you post a simple answer and someone has a bad day and WHAM...
turns into a huge thing...
I asked for the above post.... more
....to be removed. I asked nicely. The administrators on this site decided not to take it down. How sweet of them to do that.
Be careful of posting on sites that don't allow self-editing or self-deleting. If you make an error, stupid or not, it's yours to eat. The people here will not help you.
I had a post removed too and all I asked was about
companies that hire for Radiology.
OK< but the post asked who would SUPPORT
the concept?
You are *totally* entitled to having all or mostly negative feelings toward unions - they can be just as bad as nothing.
So, we'll put you down for a no thanks and move on... :)
post asked about 10 cpl for transcribing, not VR
nm
Well, you asked about companies and said you were wannabe.
x
I haven't asked about any other companies
I am quite happy where I am at. I don't know where you get that as we don't even have screen names to go by
I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer
xx
I've interviewed with several companies and none have asked for
SSN, birthdate, or any credit information. Unless you are in a position where you handle money I don't see that your credit history is anyone's business. I guess they could run it when you provided your SSN for tax purposes, but I would certainly not provide SSN before I had a job.
I asked about these 2 companies a couple of weeks ago, just not
about rad, and I was told to go with Keystrokes. Both companies seem to have 90+% positive comments, though I have seen more with rad about KS.
I asked for more than what I've seen other companies offer.
There was about a 2 second hesitation and then they said yes we can do that.
OP asked for a list of companies that DO offshore (sm)
Inside the post she asked to start a second list of companies who keep work here in the USA. I understood the post, and was merely listing Keystrokes as someone who does NOT offshore to go on the second list of companies that keeps work here. KS does NOT offshore and they never will.
They asked for a background check but most companies do, don't they?
They asked for $55 for my background check. I have tried to search, Google, ect, and I can't find anything about them except more job listings. Any advice at all for a struggling newbie?
Your post doesn't answer the question I asked.
You said you LIKE to pay your bills, you have a good rapport with your supervisor, you're flexible. Does "you're flexible" mean that you work in addition to your 8-hour shift when the work load is low to make your 20K lines per pay period?
Oops, I just asked if they outsource before I read your post! SM
That is the exact reason why I am looking for a new company is voice recognition that my account just started doing very heavily, and I HATE it! If I don't get an e-mail response from them by Monday, I might call them to see if they have any current openings.
Too busy working to post anything...plus no one has asked any questions about them lately...

I just asked the moderator to remove Denise's post...sm
from the board. Since we all figured that she must be new on this board making such a faux pas, I thought that she does not know how to tell the moderator to remove her post.
there are various reasons as to why companies post over and over again - sm
For instance, I was working with one company that had tons of applicants. However, they were calling back people they fired in the past and offering them jobs. Other companies I have worked with just like to have applicants on file and if one in particular jumps out at them, they will call and test that applicant even though they may not have a "new" account per se.
And of course, there is the old standby reason - no one qualified for the position, so they are reposting it.
These are the companies I got from a post a week or so ago...SM
MDI Florida, Medical INK, AccuStat Carolinas, Proveras, Sten-Tel, Focus, Chase.
not all companies post jobs here -
why bother being so rude.
Ask about specific companies in a new post, please.

That post bashed 7 companies, and
went on to say the good companies never get mentioned. Well whose fault is that? I'm working for one of the 7 due to word of mouth. If you had posted about a better company, maybe I'd have applied there. But do you actually know what these better companies are? Instead of bashing companies, you should be praising the good ones. Now that would be helpful!
Otherwise it sounds like you're just telling fairy tales.
Wonder why these companies post jobs
with low line rates but requiring years of experience. Who out there is desperate enough to fall for this? Maybe they should try an overseas job board somewhere.
See post above--message to all companies (nm)
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Post your resume on the job boards. Most companies
want 2 years of recent experience, but with your extensive experience I'm sure some companies would be willing to offer you a chance, but could depend on the disability. If the disability was due to mental health issues you might have problems more than if you had a physical disability.
companies that do not post line rate...
In some of these postings (I'm talking mostly about the big nationals here), the recruiters spend LOTS of time talking about what they have to offer but are noticeably silent about line rate. If a company has so much to offer, it should be proud of the line rate it is offering. It always seems like they are trying to rope me in in some way & then will spring the bad news on me once they have a captive audience, like a bunch of used car salesmen.
If I don't see a line rate next to pay/compensation I just substitute embarrassingly low & move on to the next listing.
I've had the thought that the listings should be divided into Big National and MTSO --- and within that, willing to show line rate and not willing to show line rate.
Anyone else?
That may be but if companies can't post ads without company names,
nm
Others will post that work for these companies, there are some great
people that post on this board, you just have to overlook a few. Unfortunately I do not work at any of these companies, otherwise I would be glad to give you any information needed. Good luck though!
I think the point was to POST names of good companies for all MTs to see,
x
What happened to my post with an inquiry for companies that have clinic work available in the
mornings (not in the afternoons or evenings)? I did not think there was anything inappropriate in my message and thought it was on the correct board. Thanks.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.

It isn't quite that simple...
Thank you for your input; however, it is a deeper issue than that. It is a major opportunity to teach the offending MTSO a lesson. Speaking for the collective MT group, we are human beings and we deserve the same respect as any other human being. It seems that MTs have, for too long, allowed themselves to be doormats. Obviously, there is an exception to every rule, but I am not referring here to those few exceptions.
It is that simple...
There is no deeper lesson to be taught. If you feel that you are being treated as a doormat and do not want to be, then do not accept the position and move on.

Simple
If you type 100 minutes of dictation for this company and their operative notes are 1-2 minutes maximum (I worked for a company that paid like this) and they add up to 30-40 lines per report, you would be typing anywhere from 3000-4000 lines for 100 minutes, which equals $100.00 for this amount of lines, which in turn equals about 3-4 cents a line. Believe me, they pack the dictation in this amount of time. The company in turn charges the hospital or clinic per line and they pay you the minimum.
It isn't that simple
It isn't just whining! These people are taking MONEY out of the other MTs' pockets! While an MT with integrity does all the jobs that are assigned to her and gets hung up on an extremely difficult dictator, while the other MTs are taking all the easy dictators and making money hand over fist. That is NOT fair to the MT with integrity who makes chump change because she refuses to stoop to that level.
It is not fair and it is up to management to put a stop to the practice.
Don't judge others until this has happened to you. It isn't fair and this is the only place MTs can come to vent their frustrations over it. If you don't want to read the posts, just skip them, but don't tell people they are acting like children fighting for candy. This is FAR, far more serious an issue!
OSI plain and simple
Speech recognition, outsourcing, massive turnover, only the beginning. The only way to offset this was to offer more benefits but they also upped requirements to receive them. You can't make more lines if more and more companies are outsourced, and two new ones have been added to that, Mayo and Sarasota--Ochsner already was. They aren't being that generous with benefits in the long haul and as someone said the other day nobody will stick around long enough to actually receive the benefits.
Simple solution
As long as Cymed can continue to find MTs who will put up with this crap and accept their positions that don't pay for spaces, they will continue to do what they're doing.
Why would a quality MT accept a job that doesn't pay for spaces. Why would a quality MT stay there?
SE versus IC. I know there is s simple
but I'm a math retard. If an SE made 10 cpl and an IC also made 10 cpl, and everything else were equal, then the SE is actually making more because half of the 15% social security tax is paid by the employer. So the SE makes 7.5% more than the IC, correct?
Now here's where I'm a math retard. If you take that 7.5% into account, what is the SE's *real* line rate? Sure, it's still cpl but when you figure the employer is paying 7.5% of the taxes then does that make the line rate actually more like 10.75 cpl? Or am I off on my math?
Simple -- 5 steps
1) Do NOT answer the phone if it is not about your child or your husband, period. Get an ans machine and check it on your breaks. It is your responsibility to treat your job with respect and spending your time on personal calls is not respecting your job, your pay, your finances. You're an adult; you can do this.
2) Try to arrange your appts during nonworking hours.
3) Make an alternate schedule for yourself that you can commit to when appts or emergencies call you away.
4) MAKE everyone aware that you are working during ## hours and that you are not to be interrupted, then do not ALLOW them to interrupt you. If you answer - you are allowing it.
5) Define what really constitutes an emergency to TAKE YOU AWAY FROM WORK and stick by it.
It sounds as though the phone is your biggest problem. Simply stop answering. Let everyone handle their own problems...they are adults, too.
If you take control of your phone calls and have an alternate schedule for true emergencies (I mean - child/hubby sick, etc.), then you'll be able to handle unexpected/unplanned pressing needs such as your cousin (going to Iraq) dropping by!
Make YOUR time the most important time in the world. Because it is!!!
Some simple feedback for you..
Just wanted to say I think it was your tone with your suggestions that angered a few. It sounded bitter, angry, and downright nasty the way you spoke/typed it. We have all had our run ins with recruiters who make promises and do not follow through irregardless of the resume itself. I think you just hit a sore spot. :)
radical yet simple
Pay based on knowledge and difficulty NOT production. This will raise the howls from those on the board who want all ops -- but you reward knowledge not limber tendons. Higher line rates for those willing to slog through ESL Discharge summaries and medium line rates for flying through ops and ERs.
