but then I went on to explain to everyone else my situation. I didn't mean to clump you in the category with my post. I am truly sorry! Trust me FlowerChild, I can differentiate between the good apples and the rotten apples. No worries!!!

Communication and concern
xx
Whether you care or not is not my concern...
? these are put-downs to me:
(quotes do not show up, for some reason)
---Geez, it is not a business of humanity. It is transcribing. (missed the point completely on that one, I was describing health-care in general, and the callous attitude I see on here over and over again).
----you are about to blow a gasket. (? - excuse me?)
(not quite sure what this one means) ---I think you the 1st syndrome the OP mentioned and it won't work, the old the MT is everything syndrome.
If you're not doing good in transcription work, it's YOU who isn't doing well. The rest of us seem to be doing fine---
(again, rude)
there are also posts putting down MTs as whiners etc., which is what I originally was responding to...
Posts get deleted on this board a lot, and I believe only certain views are allowed.
Probably the only reason my posts have remained is for everyone to ridicule, as the posts mostly have done.
Nope, not our concern but... SM
For giggles, I wandered over to the Spheris website and this is a copy-and-paste statement directly from Spheris about Quality:
QUOTE: ** Spheris has the highest standards for quality and accuracy. Our strict policies and standards do not change depending on where the transcription is performed. Our customers are unable to determine by reviewing a completed transcription file whether the work took place in the United States or in India. ** END QUOTE
Interesting... very, very interesting (in warped kind of way.) Raise your hand if you'd like to join me in saying to this prestigious but lost account: Buyer, Beware!
Contract concern
I am wondering why it would state the MT is working for 2 companiies and that the first company (OSI) should they not pay, then the second company (Alpha) only being liable for minimum wage. That sounds fishy. It is a violation of federal law to not pay, and to sign the contract, is that not my agreeing to only accepting minimum wage regardless of what I would truly be owed should OSi decide not to pay?
I understand your concern..sm
and I can assure you that I am in no way shape or form a management person, nor do I work for TT. I was just curious as to the wording of the filing, is all. I could care less about names or anything else. I just wanted to know where to look, and I guess you have sort of answered that for me, which I appreciate. I did research a prior lawsuit on a different company in the past beginning with a K, and I do believe that company won their suit, but I do not believe it was defamation, if I remember right, but maybe false termination or some such. I am also concerned that transcription companies suing transcriptionists is going to become a trend. I surely hope not, and I am surely behind the OP 100 percent. Thanks for an honest answer, anyway.
Thank you for your concern, let me explain
the reason for my original post. I work at an MTSO that does not require weekends. I receive 8.5 per line for text and 6.5 for speech. Better than most. I love my company. I just happened to look at a few job openings to see what is out there in the market. I submitted a few resumes, and this company seemed appealing, so I pursued it a little further. Not even sure I would have accepted even without the weekend work. I have learned a few lessons today. I work for a wonderful company that seems better than most, and I will stop looking. I am glad to know that my company probably is one of the best out there, so it was not like I needed this job. So everyone can bash me all they want. They don't know my circumstances. I am in a situation that I can accept where and what job I want to. I have a wonderful husband who works hard for his family, so I can also choose not to work. Also, I never once said that I will NEVER work a weekend. I work weekends at this job if/when I have time, but it is purely voluntarily. I do not have a schedule during the week either, work when I want to. I have learned today that my job really respects the term IC. I also get annual raises. Great QA staff. So all of you bashing me, you never knew my circumstances to begin with, apparently I have it great! So go ahead with the bashing now, because I am sure there is more you can pick apart from this post. Glad to know I am so popular today! I am laughing my butt off! This has been so entertaining. Oh ya, and I am one of those who loves speech.....let more bashing begin!
That's my biggest concern, too
The time clock - that's what I really want to know about. How flexible is flexible? Does that just mean you can pick how to split your shift but still have to be at your desk set hours? Maybe a current Transcender can answer that for us.
I understand that pay rate is case by case. A range would have been nice, but I suppose if they had said something like 7 to 9 cpl and you are offered 7 you may be mad since you know they pay others higher, so maybe they'll never tell us an exact scale.
I'm waiting to talk to HR before deciding on what to do. Pay is very important, but is still a secondary concern for me next to truly flexible schedule.
Your concern is 'not' unreasonable
It's just that no one on the board here can really verify one way or the other if there is a real problem. I realize you just want others to say what type of counter they use to see if another program squares with TTs figures or yours.
If it makes you feel any better, I have taken note of your concerns. If I spot a discrepancy I will let you know (after advising TT of course), but frankly - the amount of discrepancy appears to be just a few dollars. It took me a long time to find TT and overall they are a good company, so for 'me' it would not be worth arguing over - especially since they are adamant they are counting fairly...
It seems to me after all this discussion that the would immediately seek out and fix any true deficiency with the counter...
but then what do I know?
Does it concern you that everyone will have your email address?

Your concern need not be coworkers. Work is not

Concern is HIPPA related
I guess they had some HIPPA violations when somebody wasn't cleaning out there clipboard. When I preview reports in MEDITECH, they look just fine. I don't know what to do ....
This doesn't concern me, I've got mine! nm
InHealth has had good & bad posts. Bad ones concern the owner. nm

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

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.
No, you are not hearing concern. You are hearing that
MTs are not sheep to be led to the slaughter. I am a CMT. It is wrong to force CMT status. Even MTSO owners for the majority are not certified. What next for them? They will be required to be certified or they will not start a company and they will only hire CMTs? Don't you see where this is leading? Hell, you can choose to abort a baby in today's economy. You can't even choose not to be credentialed? A slippery and dangerous slope here to be sure.
I praise these MTs who are willing to stand up and not shut up. AHDI and MTIA are no friends of the MT community. It's time we shut them up...way past time.
Sorry I meant
just like sm and not dj. I
did not see who correctly who posted first.
Oh, NO!!! That's not what I meant.
I'm sorry it came across that way. I got duped into applying with them by all the rave reviews on the boards, too. Plus, they make no mention of it on their website. I refuse to work for a company that offshores. As for the people who are happy there, more power to them. That's their decision and I'm glad they've got great jobs. I just need something else from a company.
SORRY - meant DRC not DSC
...
As I said, if it meant that much to me I WOULD
figured it was their loss. No biggie to me. All I was doing was giving MY experience with the company, which consisted of being told I would be called back, and then not being called.
THE LAST ONE MEANT FOR MT2
Thanks!
14,000 - that's what I meant to say! nm

Sorry, I meant see msg

I meant even that isn't much FOR QA...

Sorry, I think I meant DSG. nm

I am sure that is what was meant.
Would you tell your child that determination is not enough? I felt that it was not appropriate to tell a future grad that she cannot do something when there is not one of us who knows her well enough to make such a judgement.
sorry meant WILL NOT
get that rate at Deventure
what I meant was...
that I had information and if you would email me, I would share that information in a private email.
Sorry I meant to say just . . . .
Sorry I meant to say just my opinion.
That's not the "M" that I meant.
:)
Sorry...meant
Remember the MTSO/hospital has the ability to change the way lines are counted and not allow you to check your lines...run like the wind from a company who will not allow you to have access to line counts!
You KNOW what she meant. - QA
She probabloy is in a dither.
he/she may have meant
that people who get paid weekly no matter what (I suppose that could be management, tech staff, office staff, whatever) do not understand the importance of consistency in line counts for someone paid by the line. Do not stay in the twilight zone too long. GEEEEEEEEEEEESH.
I think what Rad MT meant
Was that typing on an MT board and performance at work were two different things. You can't get fired for posting a message with bad grammar, spelling or punctuation. However you can get fired for making mistakes in reports on the job.
However everyone including RadMT needs to calm down.
Sorry....... I meant to say those at FN....

I meant..
something not someone.
I meant that is sad
Spheris has sucked out my last brain cell, LOL.
meant doing one now.
I meant the OP :-) nm

Sorry...meant MDI, not MDS
:)
I meant......
I have nothing to do with 'India'.
In your mind if I say that Indians are intelligent, this makes me in your eyes an Indian?
I know that a lot of people read these comments, but still they cannot detect my 'dialect'. I think you mean 'accent'.
Can people who read what I write hear my accent?
Not such a good 'Sherlock Holmes, aren't you? I can tell 100% this and that...and I can tell, you can tell nothing.
I meant to say yes, yes, yes - keep looking/ not yes, yes, yes take the job! nm

I meant to say 7.5 cpl when off QA
thanks
I meant thank you to sm NM

I think the OP meant
Working a required number of hours vs. being paid an hourly wage.
I meant to say, So, I appreciate that I am the only one
me straight. Just looking for a little direction since you seem to know where the work is. My family would appreciate this help, as if I could earn more, we could eat more. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, this was meant to go under
.
That is what I meant - sorry
even if you are not scheduled to work that day. TT is the only company I know of that pays 1.5 for lines typed on holidays if you are not scheduled to work.
We all know that she meant TTD, come on! nm
nm
I don't think that is what he meant...
At the Q, you are limited now as to how many blanks you send in. Does not matter what the reason... discrepancy, audio problems, doesn't matter. Right now it is at 30% but soon are to be down to 20% and then 15%. It doesn't even matter if QA can't even fill it in, it still counts against you!
QUALITY, Medquist style.
