Never seen a Spheris cheerleader on this board

In Reply to: I can't understand - been there done that
I've seen Spheris employees including myself clear up misconceptions or lies, but I've certainly never seen anyone cheerleading for Spheris, because frankly there is nothing to cheer about.

Spheris has a private board where we can complain. SM
It won't help, but we can copmlain. Also, supervisors are quite helpful.
Seems communication at Transtech is lacking in some way.
Go on Spheris private board. Lots of tips

Not a cheerleader .................
just someone who works hard and appreciates having a job. I have worked for MDI four years and over that time I have seen MTs come and go, doesn’t look like it has put much of a cramp in their profit margin. It may be hard for you to believe, but some people actually do like their job at MDI and are grateful to have one.
I did not ask you what issues you think transcend needs to “fix” with MDI, but am curious, as I really don’t have any problems with them, just do my work every day; I leave them alone and they leave me alone – just the way I like it.
I don’t understand why people think you are a “MDI cheerleader” when you don’t have anything negative to say. Why is that? Sorry you are so unhappy.
Since your such a MQ cheerleader
and so good at your job, then why don't you share your secrets with the rest of us and maybe one day we can be sittin' pretty too.
Okay...I don't know who this cheerleader is
but if you can't count at least 5 grammatical errors in this answer, you should not be an MT.
This person says the same thing every time, but I would be willing to bet he/she does not pound a keyboard for a living.
TT Cheerleader
You must have been blessed with a wonderful VR platform that actually works. Believe me there are platforms where you can do up to 150 edits on a 60-line report. Easier to type it. Be grateful that you have something that works. Many of us have been burned badly by programs that think presbyacusis equals please be a Q-tip, and social director is a pocket rectum, etc. Have mercy on those of us who have been dumped on by companies who don't care how many edits we have to make, just so they can make an unjust profit at our expense.
Definitely not a cheerleader.
I will never be a cheerleader for this company, but I don't think it is helpful to post blatant misinformation. I would not advise anyone to work here that doesn't already because I'm sure pay for new employees is much worse even than the drop the old-time employees have seen.
they should nominate you the KS cheerleader...sm
that account IS VERY BAD....and they will tell you anything at KS to keep you on their awful accounts. They play favorites with their MTs and that is nothing new with KS.
In reply to former TT cheerleader...
I agree with you. Dictaphone is one of the major cancers that is eating away at our trade. Note that when Focus stops running ads, the work dries up at TT. That is, until the people who hired on at Focus wise up and leave. Then the work becomes plentiful at TT, along with a few of the other Dictaphone puppets out there. The cure for this cancer, whether we like it or not, is for we the MTs to not work for Focus or for anyone who has their life's blood from Dictaphone. The hospitals and facilities would get sick of the crud that is typed by the offshore that Focus/Dictaphone uses. Could you imagine the offshore doing VR. Wow, Dictaphone would have the best of two worlds - cheap labor offshore doing their VR crud. Imagine the profit they would make. They, my friends, are one of the major players in the doom of our trade. Thanks for the ear.
Neither management nor a cheerleader
Just because I have no problems with Cornerstone, doesn't mean I am in anyway a cheerleader for Spheris. I have plenty of gripes about Spheris, but Cornerstone and VR don't happen to be on the list, except for the VR pay of course. I've been around for 7 years and have watched things deteriorate.
Oh my God, a cheerleader. I'm in highschool again. (NM)

Well, I said this once and got accused of being a cheerleader or an owner, but
Isn't it possible they are advertising because they are a growing company and are getting new accounts. That does not necessarily mean a big turnover. Sometimes people are so negative, even without knowing the facts. Go ahead, call me a cheerleader or one of the owners.
If you posted above as "TT Cheerleader", then YOU need to
see the note from the moderator. You are unnecessarily mean and nasty.
Not a cheerleader. Just happy with my job. When did that become a crime? sm
Why is it that when someone is happy, dozens will come on to nay-say but when someone comes on to bash a company, they have all the support in the world?
I personally do not like to come here as it is depressing, and this time was no exception. I had some time with a quiet house with 3 kids at their friends' houses, husband pulling a double shift and all work and housecleaning done. I thought I would check out this site again after a few months, put a post on and BAM! attacked like everyone else.
I just wanted to give my opinion on what works for me. I am sorry if you think they play favorites, but just because a company treats the employees well who do well does not mean they play favorites. It means that they reward those who do their jobs and do them well.
For the most part, work ethic is gone in this country and what is that going to lead to???????
seektruth is one rabid cheerleader
Go ahead, defend Webmedx to the death of your job - its coming. Some of us are speaking truth of what can happen to your job at this company - but you don't want to hear it. Enjoy your trip up river denial - and find the real truth at the end of your journey. I had a perfect romance with this company for a couple years, and it gave me a false sense of security too. Oh well, you'll only believe it when it happens to you - and it will. Meanwhile, enjoy your job and try to have a little compassion for those of us who no longer have a job to enjoy, because Karma can be a B.
be careful, you are sounding like a cheerleader. Dont
s
I don't mean to be a cheerleader but I am really tired of seeing others post "RUN" SM
Or say things like there's NEVER ANY WORK when there is work for maybe different ESL levels, accounts, etc. Sorry for being overly enthusiastic but this is such a good company, and I think a few bad apples who left the company previously cannot wait to bad-mouth it.
I think i will just butt out and let everyone go to work someplace crappy, and count my blessings.
Sorry if I came across too strong for anyone; i just like it here so darn much and have had such a positive experience OVERALL.
I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#
x
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?
.
This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!
nm
This is the Company Board. You should have posted on tech board. nm
x
there is a board for local talk. this is company board. thx
xx
Posted on wrong board. Plz see Seekers board.

Sorry! Wrong board. Reposted on Main board. NM

Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
There is a comedy board...put your remarks on that board. nm

Then this is the "Unprofessional" MT board. Pulic board,
x
I can't give you the name of the message board, but it is not a free message board (HINT). There
Monitor, I hope this post is okay.
My experience with Spheris isn't bad at all. I have been with Spheris sm
6 months and already have 40 hours PTO. I was shocked. Spheris is a great company. After 90 days I did get my sign on bonus and didn't even have to ask. There is soooooooooooooooo much that Spheris offer I wasn't even aware of. I am so glad that I didn't listen to the negative posts on this board in regards to Spheris because I am a happy camper.
You already have your own board. Now you want a board for the ones who leave??

MQ vs Spheris
I worked for MQ about 5 years ago. I wouldn't recommend them. Not enough time to go into it. I understand things may have changed, but I still wouldn't recommend them. From what I've read on boards, they haven't changed.
I've been with Spheris for almost three months now and I really like it. I'm making good money working Mon-Fri and I'm not getting hounded by a supervisor for petty stuff. I enjoy working for Spheris. I say, give them a try!
Spheris is
Spheris is hiring for all shifts, PT and FT, acute and clinic. I've been with them for about a year now and am really happy there, after having worked for 2 other nationals that I didn't have such great experiences with.
I'd be happy to pass your resume along to a recruiter, if you'd like, or answer any questions you have. My email is carasoffice@yahoo.com.
Good luck!
Spheris...
They tell everyone that - not to say you are not a good MT. But I was too, but when I reapplied, they said no - I think because all their new Spheris management is installed now, the ex-Edix management is probably gone (except those who fit in with the new regime), and they just don't want to be bothered with ex-Edix people. Just my theory. At any rate, plenty of us have posted on this board, so it is obvious that most if not all of us are not being rehired.
Try Spheris. NM

Spheris
TO: MTMQ... Why are YOU making this business? Are you the board monitor. It's none of your business what anyone Or when anyone posts on this board.
Spheris
And just how they going to get anyone's identity on here. What she is doing is NOT dishonest, It's smart because even if they do find out, she has another job to cover herself. BusyMT'ing is diong the right thing by protecting Her interests, which you have to do in this dog-eat-dog MT world. My hats off to you BusyMT'ing. You go girl. And if you really think about every MT company is competition for another MT company no matter how you look it. If one is independent, no company has any say what you do.. IC is the way to go. More pay and you answer to no one but yourself...
Yes, we will see. Spheris has only
acquired one company. Spheris was formed with the merger of Total eMed and EDiX. So, Spheris itself has only made one acquisition - HealthScribe/Acivis.
I think they have to get this acquisition settled before buying anything else and when/if they do make another purchase, I think it will be more global oriented, not US-based like MQ is. That is strictly my perspective.
OSI or Spheris
My husband came home on Friday and said he was going to be laid off soon. I am still trying to accept this and what it means to our family budget. I got a job offer from Spheris and OSi to begin in their mentor programs. I am really lost and don't know which would be better for my family. Please everyone give me the heads up on both companies. I know Spheris offshores, but have plenty of work. OSI seems to be running out of work. Which program should I choose. Both recruiters tell me their companies have plenty of work. HELP
Spheris or OSI
OSI pays better than Spheris. I work at OSi on an account that runs out of work but I can make $500-600/wk...I worked for a lady locally and used to make $1000/wk on the same account, but she lost the account to OSI, and they keep a little more for themselves if you see what I mean. I know someone who worked at Spheris and only made $300-400 week, and then she made $600 wk at OSI. And let's just say her speed didn't bring her down.
re: spheris
I currently work for Spheris. I find their platform makes it difficult to get a decent line count.... it feels like I type alot more then what the platform tells me??
why Spheris...
MQ or Spheris
Keep looking. Don't go with either. You'll be sorry if you do. Have been with both and there are better options out there.
Spheris
It's great if you have 20 years experience and like to make 8 dollars an hour. They formulate it that way, so even if you get a raise, you get yet another pay cut. McDonalds is sounding pretty good right about now!
I like it at Spheris
It amazes me how rumors fly around here - chained to the chair? I don't think so! I take breaks when and as often as I want. No clocking in and out for breaks. I like the company and am quite happy there.
Spheris
Yes, Spheris is currently hiring for radiology. They are a good company to work for supplies computer and reimbursement for phone service. Good benefits, too.
Currently, Spheris does not have IC/SE.
I doubt Spheris is in the picture for MQ though.
I'm sure that some MTs have been called by MQ Rewards Plan committee though I doubt all MQ MTs get on this board so we wouldn't necessarily hear about it.
I hope they don't do away with SE either.
