You really need to get a life if that's the "most disgusting" thing in your reality. Or else your time spent on this planet has been incredibly blessed. You don't have anything more important to worry about? Unbelievable.

I agree! I just can't imagine a company speaking such negativity! I just can't imagine that.
Surely this is not a manager or anyone big time important at SS. I just thought maybe it is a mad MT or something. I have never seen such postings from a manager. I was just curious. I think it is very unprofessional if this is management.
Definitely not TransTech -- gets worse and worse with no work each and every day and who cares???
NOBODY, except the MT's who are making less and less money and losing whatever comfortable lifestyle they had previously had the pleasure to live. Unless you have more than 1 member in the household to bring in the money, or you have received an inheritance from family member, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO MAKE A LIVING AT Transtech anymore. They absolutely DON'T CARE either. TransTech mgmt will not talk about it; only promises of new accounts coming on . . . ha ! Possibly an overflow account to replace the LOST account.
I so wish mgmt's paychecks would be affected by this NO WORK situation that has been going on for more than a year now and they would get out of that Houston high-dollar office and FIND US MT's some WORK !
That is the most disgusting thing to see these
trivia questions posted on each account update that she is sending out -- it was JOKES last week. This weekend it is trivia questions to read before we get down to the work-related portion of the supe email. Supe must need something to do if she is spending her time thinking up trivia questions or jokes to send out to us on COMPANY email!
This is annoying to say the least when I sign on to go to work or check email, and get that message from supervisor that says, "watch next update for answer" to this trivia question! Is that work related, or what???
Why is this person disgusting?
I for one agree. It is thoroughly frustrating to hear someone say that the offshoring MTs are just so great and the American ones are terrible at their job. You obviously are Love it, Love it poster and are just too much of a coward to state your name. YOU DISGUST ME!!!
AMPHION is disgusting
I could never make their line count even with all the mandatory overtime because of their unpaid demographic mess, and I had six years experience at the time. I picked up an understanding of the account pretty quick but I am not a data entry clerk. I resented that a lot and knew I had to do something else, however it didn't take me long to find another job where I could be productive and make the line count without having to work overtime every day. Now I am back to my routine of dinner with my family and foosball in the basement without worrying about that damn hour of overtime. Amphion needs to get a grip before they lose all their MT's
Yup. I can sure verify that story! Disgusting. nm

Supe says "they rock!" This is so disgusting
to hear every time they put some new MT's on our accounts.
Today it's all jokes being sent out in emails! Just what we need, more emails!!!!!! We can read joke books or joke calendars. Would rather not have those sent by our SUPE in company emails !!!
That's disgusting, 1000 US worker versus 600
that I gave Transcend the boot a few years back during their difficult times. They were awful to work for, and now I know why. This was all hush hush back then and still now. We're not supposed to have the intelligence to read the newspapers, let alone find the news. Backstabbers for sure, and one of the biggest games in town, when they always screamed they would never do this to us. Yeah, right. Go Transcend India!! And they don't even have the guts to call us US MTs - we're domestics. 
Now that's depressing and disgusting at the same time. I hope you found something else.
I've been following your story because I find it disgusting the these MTSOs stiff people
and get away with it. I find it awesome that you had the courage to stand up to her and send this notice to the hospital. Why shouldn't they know what liars and thieves they contract to. A lot of business out there that subcontract, especially hospitals, are even running background checks so they know how they are dealing with. I'd file a complaint with BBB, Department of Labor..anywhere I could to get her bad name out there and hopefully if she does try to solicit more business she won't be able to. Again, I applaud you!!!! Good work!!!!
Pay for MT work is getting worse and worse!!!! NM

And the reports look worse and worse
Any VR program and system into which it is imported is fraught with problems. At my local hospital, they have editors editing the editors. The reports are still full of mistakes and bad formatting. At my local radiology group, they have 5 different programs ranging from a combination of EMR point and click to front end SR. The MTs spend their whole day patching together the various parts of the patient record to make one cohesive record. The IT department has ballooned from 2 to 7. They only got rid of 3 MTs but exchanged them for 5 ITs. A local doctor uses point and click EMR and spends the whole patient visit with his snoot glued to the computer. The patient sits there crying and he isn't paying attention. It takes him 20 minutes to complete the record and then charges the patient for the extra time inside the room because of his bad choices or the practice manager in record keeping. I know all this first hand. I wonder when they will realize the boondoggle they have bought into.
Can't imagine
why you would say that. It is my understanding the person you are defaming very seldom works directly with the MTs and when he does it is in a techncial role of helping them get set up and assisting with technical matters; that assistance has always been timely, helpful and professional, according to my personal experience.
You can't imagine....
Out of 40-50 resumes, I might find one qualified applicant. I recently hired one person who had been with a well-known national (the BIG one) for over 10 years, yet every word of her work had to be edited. The mistakes were so gross we had to let her go. There is one study at home school churning out graduates who are not qualified to do anything! I get constant requests for easy accounts. I've had people sign up for full time who only put out 80-100 lines per day and say they are getting used to the account. A big problem is even getting applicants who can follow the instructions in the ads. We are very specific about what to send and how, yet get emails saying I'm interested in the job, tell me about it. Out of 7 I have hired the past month, only two remain. It really makes one wonder about all the postings of people being treated bad or not being paid enough. I get constant resumes from nurses who decide they want to transcribe and who curse me within an inch of my life because I won't hire them with a score of 60 on the test. It makes me cringe to think of the reports getting through to the facilities and the patient behind the name who could be harmed due to the extremely poor work these people put out with their prior company.
I can't imagine how you can
say that QA is inconsistent. They have a style guide that makes inconsistency impossible. It's all in there. 
Yes, you can only imagine YOUR
point of view...
I think I made a valid point: Corrections made by QA in a team effort spirit - instead of playing GOTCHA (and don't question us or ask for clarification)are not objectionable to most MTs.
Just imagine...
ESLs dictating and Indian transcriptionists...can only imagine what the medical records will look line in a few years!
OMG! Can you imagine?!? (nm)
If they pay that for IC, imagine how low
x
Can't imagine working
anywhere else. Super people. Super tech support. Super platform. A lot of ESL, but some EFL (English First Language)docs can be worse than ESLs.
can you imagine good pay and
x
Can't imagine how they would be but it would be interesting to know!
I left in time....got all my money. Some were not as quick to figure it out.
I would imagine all the larger ones do, whether
ss
Yes, can you imagine messing up here?
The poster reminds me of myself 20 years ago - which just goes to say people do change :0
(now where did I put that prozac?)
Spheris does not. I would imagine, most don't.
nm
Yep, that was actually true. Can you imagine?
That plan got quashed somehow, and was the same time the MQ suits got caught calling us all typing monkeys... If we could do it, convicts could do it. After the typing monkey hoopla, Plan Convict MTs went out the window. 
hmmm just like they said would be done IMAGINE THAT !
Also, I bet your bank deposit is there tomorrow, AGAIN LIKE THEY SAID, AGAIN IMAGINE THAT. I only have one question for whoever you are that is too chicken to post your name, what is wrong with you? Have you ever worked anywhere else that you got paid in less than 7 days after close of pay period, then why did you leave. Most places I have ever worked, you would type 1st through the 15th and then get paid on the 1st of the next month for that work, so honey seven days is wonderful to me. Sure, I have had a few issues here, no place is perfect, but I can tell you when I let them know I was upset about whatever it was, never about not getting paid, they went out of way to make me happy and fix it, so again to you UNKNOWN MT, what is wrong with you. Please email me and see if I can help you. sheryl.cantrell@gmail.com I am just an MT for Cardioscribes but know how to talk to them and very happy.
Can you just imagine how much LESS they would pay if they had to pay overhead too? nm
nm
I would imagine it means ...
mind their own business ... just a guess 
Imagine how productive...
you would be if you weren't spending your time here reading posts from all of the complainers.
I second that! Imagine if she were peppy
what this poster could come up with!!
Can you imagine having 700 MTs trying to TALK at once? sm
that's why it is set up for typing your questions.
I imagine they'd offer an incentive if everyone sm
was working her schedule and working extra hard in the first place. With excessive absences, it seems that not everyone is pulling her share. An incentive would entice the ones out of the woodwork who have been taking time off and who would get extra money for work they should have kept up with in the first place. (Bad sentence, but I'm in a hurry to get back to work--no time to edit.) I can work a half-hour extra each day, no problem. 30 minutes of time is not asking too much. At least this confirms no outsourcing, eh? WE are getting the work.
Relax, roll up your sleeves, grab some chocolate, and be loyal to this good company.
I can't imagine a piece of work like you
your company is doomed.
Can't even imagine this. I feel awful for you.
That is so wrong on many, many levels. What in the world are they thinking? I feel your pain and frustration and hope you find just the right account.
As that company uses their platform would imagine
they had just built a working relationship and so brought her/him on. SoftMed has undergone enormous changes since last fall - lots of layoffs - sorry you are having so many probs!
I can't imagine anyone paying for that, it's elective. sm
Insurance doesn't exist to cover huge expenses such as this. IVF is completely elective, completely unnecessary (in the sense of necessary to save life or limb or prolong life). Also the fact that it's a crapshoot makes it not a good bet for the company. Why would they pay out 10s of thousands of dollars when there's no guarantee it's going to work?
I don't do the California account but I can only imagine.................
Just imagine VR slaughtering ESLs and you have a recipe NOT to make money. You'd be spending all your time trying to put sentences together that make no sense. To each his own. I just wouldn't be doing that job.
Can you imagine the 100s of applicants
I could not even imagine working in HR for TT right now! I would not apply there now, it would be impossible to try to stand out among all the applicants. Its crazy!!!!!
Really? Imagine a critical situation where some of
Temp 98.7.Pulse 90.Blood pressure 120/80.Platelets 150,000, WBC 4.3, RBC 5.5.AST 20, ALT 22.Sodium 136, potassium 3.8, chloride 100, bicarb 25. Albumin 4.0, alk phos 89, BUN 18, calcium 9.2, CO2 25, creatinine 1.6, direct bili 0.1, gamma-GT 45, glucose 120, LDH 106, phosphorus 2.6, total bili 1, total protein 7.1, uric acid 7.6.Total cholesterol 180, HDL 56, LDL 95.
Transcription isn't all about passing an English test. A lot of rules which we follow are for ease of reading, again, in a critical situation.
And one of the major reasons for the push to convert to EMR/EHR is because of instant availability of a person's medical record in...you guessed it, a critical situation.
So it has become circular reasoning, i.e.
EMR/EHR can save a life because they're instantly available
EMR/EHR doesn't put spaces after periods
spaces after periods don't matter
a rushed and stress physician can't read the medical record because
EMR/EHR doesn't put spaces after periods
spaces after periods don't matter
patient dies.
Imagine a job with plenty of work
Still chasing that fantasy! You have your fantasy, I have mine!
I imagine they are totally overwhelmed with applications right now.
I would give them a little bit of time to get back with you. I just can't phanthom the amount of applications they've probably received from those wanting to maintain a SE status. That's where I'm headed & actually looking forward to it. I wish you the best & hope you hear from them !!
I imagine they're busy job hunting.
I received my phone call yesterday. I still think it stinks that they waited until 2 weeks before things ended to call and tell me they lost the account but they have no idea why they lost it - BS They know exactly what happened. Yes, a 2-week notice is better than nothing but they've known for a while now. I guess I just expected better from this company overall. They were really great to work for until greed took over and India stepped in. As they say, what goes around comes around.
I imagine nothing to worry about unless you're a criminal!
nm
LOL. I imagine someone with sharp scissors cutting pennies.
s
I would imagine they will just start sending usage payments
:+
I cannot imagine what purpose you intend to serve by this post?
No wonder companies want to go overseas. I wouldn't hire the lot of you anyway with these ridiculous attitudes, slamming, and incessant back-biting.
It is apparent that US MTs are just not worth the trouble. The overseas MTs will do this work WITHOUT COMPLAINT.
Give me one too! Imagine the nerve of them expecting you to work your shift.
LOL
Well just imagine being even happier when you contact the company to follow up, and guess what? sm
You actually get the job because you show an avid interest in a job with the company. On the other hand, you could be just happy to know that you passed the test.
There is nothing worse
than this monopoly that is technically not a monopoly in this field. There is always an antagonist wherever you go. When we all loved our job, MQHATER was probably here.
It's worse when you can't see them.
It can get pretty tricky when you have to rely on your senses and your past experience to figure out that somebody is either assigning the good dictators to themselves or assigning the bad dictators to you.
I have left more than one account when I found out that they assign work to MTs some or all of the time. I've never heard a valid justification for it. Anytime there is human intervention in assigning work there is the potential for abuse. Let the machine do the assigning--oldest job first.
