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.
I am happy! I love OSi
They are AWESOME!
I am another happy MDI-Maryland MT too, love it here!nm

Well, anyone who loves their job needs to tell us where she is so happy at..Would love to know..
I love my job too Happy Camper...
Great company, great people, great pay...can't ask for more than that...I am lucky that I get to be home for my children too...
I am very happy at Webmedx and love their benefits. SM
We have 4 little girls, so benefits were very important to us. Very good coverage, low copays and deductibles. Good luck :-)
exactly....all of the people that I know that work for Keystrokes are happy and love their job...
move on if it is not the right fit for you...there are plenty of other companies out there...
Thank you DTS. I love my bag! Happy MT Week to fellow DTS employees.
Agree, very happy there. Love my flexibility. Like the old Signal! Awesome. nm

Xmas
That's very interesting, I just thought people were being lazy typing Xmas lol Thanks for the Greek lesson!!
You said Bite Me first. As for Xmas? - I was off, thanks very much. PAID too. nm
.
Well, if any of us are getting Xmas bonuses I guess we will be finding out soon. (sm)
Worked for MQ for a long, long time and always got a card from my supervisor, but no actual bonus EVER. With a new company now and kind of waiting to see. I am sure we will get holiday wishes through our Email and I may just have to be content with that. But one can hope.
curious - do they give Xmas bonuses?
Just wondering!
Let's trade Xmas presents, want a cookbook? nm
Xristos is Greek for Christ = Xmas = Christmas

What's greedy about it? Have always received xmas gifts/bonus as employee

They never change, 4 years ago a Xmas, they lowered everyone's line rate, I left then

Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too.
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
I'm giving them a try (sm)
I was impressed that they contacted me within 10 minutes of my submitting my resume.
Not giving one's best
One person's best is not the same as another person's best.
In fact, one person's so-so may be higher or lower than another person's 110%. The problem here is when we get treated like we come from a cookie cutter or mold.
A person who has been doing this for 30 years can do a so-so job and may be doing it better than a person with 10 years doing their best. It all relates to experience.
Why would someone not give their best? Hmmm,go work for MQ for a year and see if you give your best. It would seem a person gets demoted for doing their best in that situation.
giving your best
I think those of us who have been doing this for years and years have for the most part taken pride in the jobs we do or we wouldn't have lasted in the business. But these days it's extremely demoralizing to do your best only to have your pay cut to the point that you wonder if it's even worth trying anymore. The respect should be mutual. The employer definitely has a right to expect our best, but we shouldn't have to feel like we've invested years in something only to be treated like we're pretty much worthless and certainly dispensable. To have your salary cut in half after years of working hard and perfecting your craft is beyond insulting. We're in a field where our employers can legally pay less than minimum wage and get away with it and some of them certainly don't mind taking advantage of that fact. And as long as there are enough people willing to take whatever they dish out, I don't see that changing.
try a second job before giving up first job.

You are giving out the wrong
info. The hourly wage job is for midnight to 8 AM, NOT for any other shifts.They need coverage for that shift only. All other shifts are cpl plus incentive.
Not giving references
You folks need to contact the Department of Labor as well as an employment lawyer. You have a right to a reference. Do not let these people get away with this!
Yep. Which is exactly why I'm giving up on nationals.

Why don't ya try giving the transcriptionists
a limited number of doctors to learn in the areas they were hired for? NOOOO....gotta know 15 doctors. Then you folks want us to fill in on an emergency in a field never tried before by the transcriptionist...the Transcriptionist tells you she's never done that but you say....ahhh...you won't have any trouble...please??? She says yes and tortures along trying to figure it out for pennies on the dollar. Two days later she is still struggling along, has told you several times, but you say you're doing great...Two days later you send her an e-mail saying that if her work doesn't improve you'll have to dock her pay. Stick it man.
Lets see....doctors specialize but we who make peanuts have to be able to transcribe ALL specialties or are punished. Wake up.
How about giving me a break?
I am the MT who seemed to upset a lot of you with my post below about MDI and the lack of work for some. Unlike what many of you surmised, I also need a regular income, a daily line count that I can depend on and I work far more than 1-2 hours per day and always have. I am also an MT who has been kicked to the curb by enough MTSO's to make me want to quit this profession at times and work at just about anything else. What I was saying below is that MDI, at least for me, is trying to get me more work and guess what? I have more now! Yes, everyone, they are being helpful and NICE! When compared to others I have worked for, who have also been low in work at times, and who have told me and other MTs who ask for more work, to basically get over it and wait it out or go elsewhere, I think I prefer the treatment I have received with MDI far above the others. If a nice company doesn't cut it for you, then go to the many out there who don't give a rat's behind how they treat you. They are not hard to find. When the work is there, you will be worked to death and when it isn't, they could not care less. Heck, you can make good money these days working on a garbage truck, so if nice isn't important,what's stopping you?
giving notice
To anyone that has left Spheris, did you give two weeks notice? If you did give two weeks notice, did they just tell you to quit then? After almost 6 years, I'm finally getting out of there.   
I'm very tempted to just quit and not give notice, however, I have about 3 days of PTO time also I don't want to lose.
Also is it normal for anyone in an employee situation to have to get someone to cover your hours if you want to take off? I'm going to a bridal shower in another state and needed a day off and was told I had to find someone on my team to cover my hours otherwise I couldn't have off. Also whenever I ask to have a day off I'm always asked Why? Why is it their business? So glad I'm getting out of there.
giving notice
in most states, if you give notice to a company, and they tell you to leave then, they are responsible for reimbursing lost time, etc - because you gave notice and expected to work and earn money. Check out your state and verify. this would go for any company requiring a notice period.
TT giving MT's no explanation on why all this
This is certainly a mystery to me. Announcement of Jesse being gone was heartbreaking. He was such a good tech guy, but these loss of working hours due to server problems we are having is not due to anything but Dictaphone, it appears. The **check back every 10 minutes** is getting old.
It seems that chunks of work disappear when these problems occur, so don't know where the work goes when server goes down. Hopefully, TT is not outsourcing to another service again, as we have been SO LOW on work for the past month or so.
I just wish the upper mgmt. would give us an explanation for all these server problems as of late so that we would not wonder about why this is happening. Maybe some of you can explain to us. Maybe I am just out of the loop.
Giving notice
If you are required to give a 30-day notice to your current employer and don't have a start date yet for the new job you were just offered, when would you actually give that notice? Now that you intend to take another job or when you actually have a specific start date for that new job? Thank you for your advice.
From above: they are giving you. I bet facilities are
x
I think they are just giving you the times
they need people. Just because you are IC does not mean that you can work whenever, only when they want you to or need the help. They can tell you that they only have work between 12 noon and midnight, so that would be when you would work for them. Just because you are IC you cannot tell them to let you work at 8 a.m. if they is not when they need the help. They do have a little leeway, they just cannot set a strict schedule.
There is no way punctuation is giving SM
you that low of a QA percentage. No way. There have to be other issues (typos, incorrect terminology). Even on short reports a couple of commas do not give you a QA score in the 80s.
Not giving a patient's name
is a HIPAA violation. Report her to your supervisor.
I was giving you a compliment...
that even though you only type clinic and for 1 American doctor, you are valuable to them. But nevermind--I'll take it back if it will make you feel better. :)
LK - GIVING YOURSELF A RAISE?
Hey LK - I'm always looking for different strategies to increase my productivity. Would you care to share what techniques and strategies you used to give yourself that 13% bump in productivity? I could sure use some ideas once in awhile!
TIA :-)
What is the reasoning he is giving?
I did have one company tell me that I couldn't have any file sharing type of program on the computer I would be using and would need to uninstall all other platforms. I ended up not working for them as if they want to tell me what I can and cannot have on my work computer, then they need to provide the computer.
Giving orders?
It wasn't an order, just a suggestion from someone who has been through the no work situation before. Sorry, I was not replying to your post, just added it at the end of the line.
Would need permission from the OP before giving
I would not feel comfortable posting that information on the Board without the Original Poster’s permission, since it contains personal names and addresses. TransTech is probably reading every one of these posts right now and you could be management for all I know. LOL. Suffice it to say that this is public information and can be researched if you know where the headquarters of TT is and how to access court filings in that county.
I am giving my opinion, which is what the OP asked for

As a recruiter, I hate giving these as much as...
...most people hate doing them. It's actually kind of painful to listen to someone who just can't figure out the answers, or is wrong and wants to know if the answer was right.
For someone who tests well over the phone, it's a breeze and I enjoy them, but for those who don't, it's a difficult experience for everyone involved, and it still isn't necessarily a perfect indicator of whether they can do the job.
I still prefer transcription tests, where MTs have the time to settle in, proofread, and aren't put on the spot.
Recruiting isn't an exact science, unfortunately. Ah well.
Just my 0.02.
Without giving away my exact pay rate....sm
I can tell you it was above 8 cents a line. I'm sure it also depends on how well you test, how much experience you have, and what account you will be on also.
This person is giving you bad info--
I used to work for TransHealth and they're not perfect but don't pay attention to what this person is saying. You get benefits almost immediately, I used ShortHand when I was there, and they were pretty flexible. Some of the accounts are not so good, but you get that anywhere.
I applaud them for giving feedback. YOU, however,
should learn to spell (with meaning!!) before you go slapping people around. Advise indeed... pfffft.
Medware is giving work to her.

And they are giving me hearing loss
their cell phones go off, they are right next to the dictating phones and they do not know whether to answer or call back, you can tell they are picking them up and looking because you are getting an ah, ah, ah and then leaving something electronic close to the phone because all of a sudden we have this horrible loud screech in your ears. My hearing is sensitive!
