Larry doesn't know if he's coming or going! One day a mass email to employees begging them to
even though no work, and the next day mass email begging people to hire anybody they can scrape up and now accounts out of TAT, etc. Different story every day of the week, and I don't wanna hear about the company perils! Just let me type! No thanks.
Hmm...all the mail keeps coming back saying that their STMP or whatever is rejecting my email addy.

Branching out.....
Hello to all that are reading this posts. I would like to know the steps and procedures to getting out and gaining my own clients. I have to find a way to supplement income some how. I have a pretty good idea, but I don't know where to start. I have been out of work for 4 days in a row now. Christmas is approaching, but I pretty much have that covered. I would just like some work to fall back on or my own work to have, so I won't be so dependent on my job all the time. Any advice is greatly appreciated here. I have also saved all of my reports to show quality and proof of what I can perform. I have been applying at companies and some are not responding. Some are saying I didn't pass (which I really don't understand). My local hospital is hiring, but they are so picky. I use to work there in Radiology, so I know what that is like. I'm a military wife that has to stay at home because we are trying to cut cost and not send the little one to the daycare. Thank to all in advance for the response .
Don't know about turnover but new clients coming on board - GREAT company
Thank you sweetie!!
I know, you only have to be in this situation to ever think it will happen to you, but hey, we have our health, right!!! LOL!!!! That's what everyone wants to say. People can be cruel, but that's life. I appreciate people like you and sometimes you have to have all of these hardships to be the compassionate and nice people you are. See, you posted and made me feel really good. I appreciate that!!!
Sweetie
I have been called worse things in my life! They are a great company to work for (been doing this for 20+ years), but I better be quiet now because people are getting tired of hearing about TT!
BTW, I am NOT your SWEETIE and sm
if you were an MTSO why did you work all those 19 hour days if you are so against it now? Simply because you had to because you were an MTSO. Well the folks that work for MTSOs have to work when the work is there! But then you should know that huh?
Robert's a sweetie.

seriously....Sweetie?.....stop already; it was not much of a brag;
nm
Oh no sweetie. I have done acute care also. (sm)
I also had my own business and did work the 19-hour days. And back then, I was making 0.10 cpl, right out of school! So, I have worked in all fields.
I have been in a position of having to have a paycheck, but that does not mean I am going to jump on the next street corner just to get the money. That is selling yourself short. And that is what the MTSOs have done to this profession; not the MTs who refuse to work weekends.
I've been in this business since 1978, sweetie

Xmas coming. New company, thinking about sending Xmas cards. (sm)
Thought about just sending one to the office in general, is this tacky? I actually am in contact with some of them more than my direct supervisor.
How do you all handle this, if you send cards at all, that is. This is a fairly small, very family oriented type company. If I were still with MQ you can bet I wouldn't even though my supervisors over the years did always send out a card to me on Xmas. I just never felt very festive when I was working there.
TT talks sweet, but I have never desired even a store clerk to call me sweetie . . . those niceties
have never impressed me unless they come from my husband/lover.
Please email me which company does this
This thread is very interesting. I can see having a credit check pulled if the company is going to supply you with all the equipment, but for an IC position? Something smells.
I'm about to graduate from Andrews in the very near future, and I would appreciate an email letting me know which company(ies) is/are doing this. I think it's absolutely outrageous.
I can stand up to an intensive FBI background check, and I recently had one done to renew my state security license, so I have no problem with that aspect.
Please let me know *which* company is doing this. I won't waste their time or mine.
Please email w/ name of EXText company
Thank you, tired of being out of work when I know #$%^ well that my account has work going to India!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to know which company. You may email me if you wish. sm
Email above. Thanks.
Actually, I sent you an email through your ad on the company board. Thanks! nm
I left a company as soon as got email saying they were
w
Email said not about company stability, and you
Of course they sent encouraging apologetic email. Do you think they would send one saying, We are having dire company problems and you may never get this money? They can put ANYTHING in an email. That doesnt mean it is true.
Did you email the company about this? They may have no idea and appreciate knowing what is going on.

OSI allows only company email, keeps coworkers anonymous
and that stinks
No problems for me. In fact, the company sent out an email sm
yesterday asking if anyone wanted a backup account, so I took them up on it. I know how scary slow days can be -- hope it ends for you soon. If you do not have a backup account, maybe you should call and ask for one.
Good luck!
I don't believe I trashed the company, and I had not received the email yet. sm
And yes, she is cheery and full of hope and promise, but that doesn't pay the bills now. I appreciate your compassion.
In case this company doesn't see this post, email them and tell them
y
Email me privately. I think we work for the same company and I have an answer for you.
I went through all of this about 6 months ago and if it's the same company I'll give you the lowdown.
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I saw this coming!!!
I saw this coming when they first started us on this new platform, and eventually, ALL the accounts will be editing. These MTs really don't care because it is not happening to them right now!! My opinion is that EVERYONE will eventually be editing and not typing and at the 40% lower rate per line. When that happens, all of these Transcend cheerleaders will be just like me, sitting with their mouths hanging open in disbelief that it is happening to them. I used to be one of those cheerleaders and now feel bad that the 2 people I referred to Transcend have now had to go get other jobs because of lack of work, timeouts, downtime, etc., etc. Why would they want to pay 8 cents per line when they can pay for those same lines at 4.8 with editing. OF COURSE, everyone possible will be editing, and it will not take long to do it either. We had about a week's notice when we went to editing, which I felt was also inconsiderate, and they will do everyone else that way too--just watch and see what happens!!
Like I said before, TRANSCEND SUCKS!!
Ex-Transcend cheerleader!!!
Where do they keep coming up with
these numbers? I have been an MT for 15 years. I am 35, starting my MT career at 20! Do they know exactly how many American MTs there are, if so I would like that number. I have a hard time believing our average age comes in at 59!
I think that is coming up soon, at least by
the letter on the new MT/ME Rewards Plan.
!!!!
I know where you are coming from Glo
I applied at Spheris. The lady called me, and then called back a few minutes later to find out why I left a certain position. She was real shady sounding on the phone. Then, she proceeds to tell me that they have no positions at the current time. Really strange? I usually just see the writing on the wall so to speak. If they call me, I'll flat out refuse to work for them as they were very unprofessional in my book. JMO! And again, are still advertising like every day. ???? I don't get it or maybe I do?!?!
I just don't see where you are coming from....
EVERY email that I have sent, I have received a reply.
And I think it is great that the QA person explains the blank because that is maybe why you had the blank in the first place - that maybe you did not understand the exact nature of the word and could not find it anywhere. I would rather have more information versus not enough information.
There are a lot of difficult dictators but if everyone did a few of them then the difficult dictator(s) could be shared and one person would not get bogged down with them. That is what they have tried before - one person sent an email asking everyone to take ONE job of a particular dictator so it would not be all on one transcriptionist...Now come on, that is fair - ONE JOB for ONE BAD DICTATOR. I know it cannot be like that all of the time but that just shows that they do try.
I really have not had any of the problems you are talking about. But I can only speak for what I have seen and from my own experience.
Their pay is ALWAYS correct and ALWAYS on-time. And they do pay better than most places. They have an A+ in my book!
I still believe the day is coming when MTs
nm
know where you both are coming from,
got laid off myself and I did resent them and MYSELF for all the times I never took off, short-changed my kids and events for them, stayed even off the clock a few times because no OT, while the same 3 people were always the ones not coming in for one reason for another. But you know what? I would probably do it again. To thine own self be true, is that how it goes? I have to live with myself and they are all on their own. Fortunately, I have just enough time to get to bed before I fall asleep without medication. Some people can't help it and have to take something, but that's a condition, not guilt, keeping them awake. This was not aimed at those people. Good luck to all of you.
Doing VR, know exactly where you are coming from
Others who talk against it, never tried it have no idea how it is as far as a piece of cake. I saw the other posting about when it gets so good to replace you BUT having worked on the same platform for several years now mine does not stay letter A perfect month after month, always a need for an MTer to come in and be there for reports that need to be cleaned up. I have said some platforms surely are better than others but if you have a bad 1, then you need to find a good platform. There is so much bad and forth on this subject, the ones hating, like I said, never done, bad platform or only see that the salary is dropping (for a short time as you and I know) but that is what is pushing these postings against. I was never totally against, like you up in age and glad that the hands/arms had not worn out as much as I worked. Glad you are liking.
That is too funny coming from you!
Darlin....I quit OSi a little over a month ago along with everyone else!
Would not surprise me in the least. Something is coming not sure what.
:
You keep coming back though right?
Obviously, you love it.
knew that was coming!
Three things are for sure - death, taxes, and that you'll start your vendetta the minute anyone mentions OSI!
Yes, and new accounts coming on...sm
constantly.
Of course it is coming from your check, just like an
employee, but they are submitting the $$ to the IRS instead of you having to do quarterly filings.
I was just coming to ask these same question.
I hope somebody here knows more info for us.
You are coming in super-low SM
as far as salary....you should be getting MINIMUM $10,000 more a year and more like $15,000.
We should have seen in coming in November
Remember when we partnered before and there was no work because another company did it all? And no notice, either.
I got the call, too but haven't gotten an e-mail yet about how to view this conference thing tomorrow.
One thing: We have some accounts that REQUIRE that the work by done by U.S. citizens and we be accountable under U.S. law/court system. How are they going to get around that? Some facilities absolutely refuse to off-shore. I myself refuse to go to a facility that off-shores and I ask who does the MT work before I make appointments. I don't know how an India-based company is going to be able to keep those accounts.
Hummm, nothing is coming up
In archives
I understand where she's coming from
and it's a big company too. I have put in a 2-week notice for many reasons. Maybe the OP used to work for my company and is just glad to be out of there.
Exactly. Why can't the masses see this coming? S/M
It's already started IMHO. Why the sudden panic to stimulate the economy. And that, my dear friends, is the most idiotic thing they've come up with yet. It's sort of trying to borrow oneself out of debt. Giving rebates with borrowed money!!! Totally absurd. You can bet payday will come.
Are all of the accounts coming from MQ ?
x
Not that bad at all. Coming onshore
Accounts are onshore now with American TLs and MTs. No Indian MTs/QCs at all. This has occurred over the past month. And no I'm not management! Give it a try. I'm happy!
