Also, for "not my experience" poster.
You mentioned in your post, I've seen damned little willingness on the part of many MTs to be flexible about their shifts or workdays. Everyone wants to work 9-5, M-F. This, even while they complain about the line rate when most companies offer rather handsome differentials for working evenings and nights.
If you used to make 14 cpl working Monday through Friday, 9-5, how willing would YOU be to work until 11 p.m., the only time to spend with your kids when they get home from school, for a meager quarter or half cent increase in line pay? Even with these handsome differentials (what a joke) MTSOs are still only paying 8.5, 9, or 10 cpl! And you whine that the MTs aren't professional because they don't want to give up their lives for that...compared to the 14 cpl or more they used to get??? Sure the doctors still dictate over the weekends and nurses still handle care over the weekend, but they are paid quite a handsome salary. If you want dedication, skill, and experience from domestic MTs, PAY FOR IT!! Don't whine that American MTs aren't out there.
Oops...meant to say "not acceptable"

Everyone knows what the poster meant. nm
I THINK the poster meant
I think the other poster meant that if you
stand by and let others in the workplace get by with dishonesty, you are being dishonest also. In other words they're berating you for not being a tattletale. Tattling is immature so I can see your point.
I don't think this is what the poster is talking about.
it sounds like you just want a pat on the back for your exceptional wage.
Ok, poster was talking about TRS, not TTS. nm
not talking about the original poster

Since he has some ownership in this national, I think that is all the poster meant. nm

Sorry, meant MRMT as upset poster.

I meant for this to show as a reply to the original poster!

I know exactly who the poster was talking about. If you aren't her, I wouldn't worry about it.
I worked with someone at a company that starts with an F who now works for TTS and oddly worked with that person both places (you know how small world the MT industry is). She is some kind of piece of mess and she drags misery with her everywhere --- that company, the TTS company and most definitely wherever she lands next. What you described is exactly what happened to that supervisor (who was just a team member at F company). Anyway -- it's obvious she thinks you are that person. If you aren't -- then why feed her fire?? If you are.... well then.....
If that is not what she meant, and she was just talking about greedy business people, then...
why did she feel the need to say that the business person was Arabian? If she was just talking about greedy business people, then why would his nationality matter?
See my point?
that should of been "not sure about"....sorry....
xx
sorry, should be "not" only

to "not a sheep"
AMEN SISTER! You sure can tell who is the butt-kisser on this board.. because most of the posts are agreeable to each other's except hers, the MT that says she is NOT a QA person or the Manager. You are right, that newsletter was ridiculous, it sounded like a kid about 14 who went on he first trip alone! After all, when the present QA person didn't get the job, wasn't she so upset she was "going on strike"... LOL...and to that person who talked about MTs being sued, cite me a case and I will reasearch it! Actually, what about the docs that dictate the wrong medications on the wrong patient? Is that the MT's fault? I THINK NOT.
More like "NOT NOWING" how
:{
?? If she's a recruiter only, how can she "not pay?"
Also, I learned a few years ago that there are some individual recruiters who recruit for several different MT companies.
I just don't understand what this post is about. Are you saying All Type doesn't pay?? How can a recruiter not pay? Confusing.
What's "not fair" about PTO?
There is nothing that mandates how much or how little PTO you are given. Fair sounds like an entitlement mentality. (I am an IC/SE and have no PTO but so what? I think that is perfectly fair. I knew the terms of my employmentment when I signed the contract.) Too much what's in it for me, not enough what can I do for the company. Just saying, that's all.
Why didn't you just write down "Not enough." nm
:}
upstateMT, what do you mean, they are "not registered in NY" - sm
I don't understand your post. Do you mean that this particular company will not hire people living in NY state?
What part of upstate are you from? :)
"Not very good" is an understatement.
nm
What it means: "Not enough US MT's who want to work
Reading between-the-lines:
'--- which is exactly what we planned when we dropped US MT pay, so we'd have an *excuse* to choose offshore first, US workers second.'
That eScription ad sure goes against 'Truth-in-advertising', doesn't it?
Delete extra "not", too early! nm
x
So obvious "Not KS". Why would another MTSO post
in a thread about another MTSO? So full of BS. We're not stupid; just underpaid.
Guess "not funny" is management! nm
nm
"not their problem" -- you signed the contract ....
seriously, they know that a significant number of new hires (particularly when the experience required is low) are not going to work out ... they need a constant supply of warm bodies to ensure the work get done ... Welcome to labor relations USA-style. There is no good-faith social contract. More and more companies see their primary purpose in existence as maximizing profits. Keeping their clients, if not happy, mollified, so they don't leave is job #2. We may not even be in the top #5 concerns
Can you say, "not an authorized representative", boys and girls?

I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for

Moderator answered "Not True" which means she will not delete post with name and link (nm)
It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to
Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO. Geeesh.
Not talking about lines. Talking about what you actually
afsd
Hello??!! I'm the original poster! I think I can respond to the poster who replied to my original
nm
Not that poster but
why was she rude? I didnt see anything rude in her post. So she got more lines than you, how is that rude? I work at Transcend also and I got my lines in that I usually get. I had to type a different shift of course. I work different times of the day when it is slow and I always manage to make it.
Also, the email that was sent out I think was very considerate. Any other company, when slow ( and they ALL get slow), just slows down with no explanations, reassurances, or care.
That's not what the poster said. Poster said
If the poster was hired at 8 cpl last year and makes 13,001 lines to qualify for the incentive (0.0025 cpl at 13,001 lines) that means the poster only makes 1072.58. But the MTs hired after Nov. 1 at 10 cpl makes 1100.00 for only producing 11,000 lines. Tell you what, that would freak me out if I just got hired there. Because no matter when you get hired, in a few short weeks or months you're just the old worn out mare to them.
Are you the same poster as below?
I appreciate your comments about new accounts coming on board in January and June. That is very likely.
The MTs here who are sobbing, as you say, and cannot have it both ways ARE the ones who did keep a fairly regular schedule and did for years, and now for the last couple months the rug has been pulled up from under them.
To the poster(s) below who is/are asking
about TransHealth, I am the one who answered your questions and got flamed for being honest. This is exactly why I said before I will never put why I hated a company again. I have no reason to lie, but just believe me when I say it is definitely in your best interest(s) to stay away from this company. They are the absolute worst out there and that is saying something!!
Not that poster, but I know what he/she SM
is saying because I have worked with a number of people over the years who will look you straight in the eye and tell you that they were the best transcriptionists and in fact they were terrible! Usually they had a bunch of years in, but they had limited value - like typing only 1 type of work or had only worked at 3 little rural hospitals, like that. They functioned well as long as the dictator was American and spoke at a normal rate of speed but they would never be able to do the kind of work a normal transcription service has.
Not the poster above, but that's how I met this
person. I had a problem and posted about it on this very board, and this person was so kind and caring and helpful. Nothing to do with a job - but with med transcription. She has been a mentor AND friend to many, many MTs for no financial gain whatsoever at all - thus anyone even bothering to post in her defense, let alone know who she is. She got nothing out of me, had nothing to gain from helping me - just went out of her way to help me, and I know has done the same for others. A really nice and professional MT - one who wants to help others newer to the field, etc. I don't see her post here anymore for a long time, and I just pray that she does not read the boards either. Really an all time low for MTs to post personal attacks on a person - I'm sure Admin isn't aware of it, or this whole thread would be in the trash where it belongs.
I think the poster was asking
what companies require you to use an FTP site to download your dictation files and send them back. I understand what you mean, but the company I work for does not require MTs to use an FTP site. I could be wrong, but I think that is what the OP was referring to.
this may be the same poster over and
over again. Diskriter has a huge turnover. H-U-G-E, both inside the main office and with transcriptionists. I couldn't take it any more. I was jumped from one account to another to another. I was told to work weekends and when I would work the weekend, I sometimes would not have any work. I actually made $23.00 one weekend after an 8 hour shift. I was fuming! They supposedly had all this work, but I certainly wasn't getting any.
I should state that I have been a Transcriptionist for 12 years, so it's not the quality of my work or lack of experience. When I first started with Diskriter, I was making my line count and my pay was not that great, but I figured I would stick with it. It just got worse. I left. I'm sure everyone has a different experience with them.
I'm not that poster above, but as far SM
as my experience with them went, he/she is speaking the truth. I did a SmartSource account and then went to work directly for Diskriter and it was like night and day. More like NIGHTMARE working for DR directly. The PTO, the health insurance, holidays, everything was totally different and much less than when I was on the SmartSource account. DR's ever-changing management was annoying because you never knew who was running what from week to week.
I think that poster was just trying to help SM
because if you wait for the administration to come onto a public bulletin board to address your questions, you will be waiting quite a while.
Not the other poster, but yes, I would say they-sm
have a lot of work that is actually worse than on the test. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone who doesn't have a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of ESL experience. All of the accounts are pretty much the same, littered with these horrible ESL doctors.
Not the poster but
I got mine from transcriptiongear.com. You can buy it directly from the Instant Text website too. I paid 180 four years ago, but it was worth it. I have tried all the Expanders out there, and this one is by far the best!
For poster below not OP
.
poster below is right - MDI-MD
where'd the little blue smiley guy with the thumbs-up go?
lol. Not as if I am the only poster who gets
x
Sure am! And also a certain poster on another
board, one who likes star trek. There was no alternative other than to make this move! My DH probably does not realize it is reality, and I am sure I will be told to bring in the money, anytime soon. But in the meantime, he can help me now. I sure would love to have e mail buddies. Just don't know if the e mail stuff works on this board right now. In the meantime, I will be here saying hi, this place and another have certainly gotten me through a lot lately, especially for companionship. THanks for all your kind words, that is for sure!
For all this poster said.
