In Reply to: Oh my golly! She has babies, and you're telling - her to think about the future
This is not some theory she is passing along, but rather her personal experience with her own kids. I will be the first one to back her up on this. Kids socialize much better and much faster around other kids and I too am speaking from personal experience.

The politics of MT
Could go on forever. Yes, in America we are not expected to give up our time and our lives for nothing. The outsourcing business has truly become a middleman's business. Of course, middlemen are free to outsource however they choose within the law. If someone else will work for little or nothing then they can have it, is my philosophy. We faced the same dilemma in the Industrial Revolution in which women and small children worked for long hours for barely nothing, too, and had the conscience to realize it was wrong at some point. We are a civilized society and employers, including MT employers, must follow the laws that other businesses do if they are to remain an employer-based business. There will always be a percentage of physicians and hospitals that refuse to allow their work to go to near-slave conditions and actually have some regard for the MT, or are afraid of being sued if the medical record is processed in a country where privacy cannot be assured. I'm seeing more and more hospitals hire directly with at-home MT jobs and eliminating outsourcing.
I have no control over any of it but I personally won't work for nothing, nor would I send out to a company knowing those were the conditions of their workers. It's all a matter of personal choice and ethics, I suppose.
My aim was to inform those who are in this position what the law is. Of course, this does not cover IC, but if you are an employee it applies.
Office Politics
Thank you all for your comments, but I would like to say....I really want to preserve my dignity and integrity. There are some very special people at OSi, some of whom are very good friends. I am truly blessed for making those friends. I did my best at my job at QA and for whatever reasons I was fired from OSi does not change that. I loved my job and the MTs and the accounts that I worked on. I only wish the best for my friends that are still there. Losing this job is nothing compared to losing my spouse, so this too will pass. I am tough and I will be fine and I thank you all for your support.
Doesn't seem like politics to me s/m
So if I get banned for speaking my mind...oh well. IMHO people need to start speaking their minds.
They outsource. They use SR. They are big into AAMT and politics. sm
On the up side, their program is one of the easiest I have used. You get instant feedback on your work. Their benefits are good. So, there are pros and cons. I have seen worse companies; I have seen better.
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

This is the Company Board. You should have posted on tech board. nm

There is a comedy board...put your remarks on that board. nm
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.
You already have your own board. Now you want a board for the ones who leave??
nm
Never Not on this board.
whee
I'm on this board again because I keep
I've been donig this for 10 years and can't remember running out this time of the year. Is anyone else slow. 
Sorry, this should have been on the MQ board. nm

probably more for another board, but...
In response to the posts about Christmas, I remember the good old days when the Jewish radiologist I worked for took the whole staff out for a big Christmas dinner and gave us all generous bonuses. We in turn gave him and his wife Hanukkah gifts. It's called mutual respect and being big enough to accept and respect each others' differences without taking away anyone's right to celebrate according to their own beliefs.
Where is the MQ board? (SM)
See the links to specialty boards to the left. Medquist is the 4th link from the top.

TT's ads all over job board!!!

Look on the job board
someone on this board once said that they (sm)
give you a line raise after you are taken off 100% QA. I was never told that and did not get it.
Board changes (SM)
We have condensed the number of board forums to reduce the confusion on where to post what topics.
You can view archives of any of the removed forums by clicking on the Home button at the bottom left and then scrolling to the end of the web page.
If your topic does not have a specific board currently, the Main board will accommodate it.
Thank you.

there was a job on the other board sm
that was paying 7 cpl for MT and part time supervisor. I don't think so.
I was just on the La. board looking for La. MTs.
I never see any postings from MTs of Louisiana and when I asked a question concerning LA MTs I would never get an answer. What part of Louisiana are you located. Do you work as an IC or employee or for a hospital? I have been trying to get an estimate on what Louisiana MTs are paid as I think the amount that I was told by the hospital was too low.
If it is the one from the Job board
Then that is Terry and they are out of St. Louis MO. I currently work for them. Good company to work for. Terry is very enthusiastic about MT. I enjoy the accounts, very low ESL if that is a selling point for you. We also have always had plenty of work and if ever I've run out I just let Terry know and she hooks me up with another account to fill my time.
HTH.
MQ has their own board because they are the
BIGGEST MTSO. Spheris will not allow employees to post anywhere anytime anything about them. Spheris joined up with Indian forces long, long ago in a HUGE volume. I have even read articles from Indian papers and Spheris, with Spheris wanting to reduce its US workload by half at least in order to use Indian labor. I have heard Spheris pay per line is very low. Not putting MQ up on a pedestal. I have worked for both, and Spheris is evil #1, though they keep a very low secretive profile.
I just saw on the job board
@ mtjobs.com QDPRN allows the choice of Word or Wordperfect also. So there seems to be companies out there still using Word.
Could you please tell me how to look at this board?
//
there were some on this board
when FN changed your pay from per report to per line (I think that is what they did). Those posts would be further down, around the date you were switched. If you do a search, you should be able to bring them up and then you can email the posters if you want.
Is this the info you are looking for?
Isn't that what this board is for?
I do agree with the above post - the Pro-KS people just haven't had a bad experience yet - but that doesn't mean it won't happen, they just won't be prepared when it does. Those of us who had bad or miserable experiences with KS should not be ridiculed for speaking our opinion or telling our stories. KS has had a clear-free ride on this board for a long time and it was about time for someone to start the rant on them that has happened today. They could not hide behind a gleeming reputation forever and get away with it. I am so happy that I beat them to the punch, as I described in a previous post - and now I enjoy working for another company that has been bashed on this board off and on for a long time, but I have no complaints. I have plenty of work and good lead people. Not everything is perfect, but what job is perfect. And, as with KS, I always try to stay a step ahead - and watch for signs that things are going awry. It pays off in the long run.
But is job board
Not for job ads? Seems they are advertising for business, not MTs.
because this is a board where MTs
voice their fears and concerns. DAAAAAAA
TT board
I meant, what is it you know?
It's the second ad down on the job board
I see it's from October, so I don't know if they are hiring right now or not. Haven't heard.
Job Board
Anyone know anything about Silent Type??
I don't think it is a TT board, per se (sm)
I think a TT employee started it. The company knows about it but I don't think they are involved in it. I tried getting on it, but I couldn't figure out how, something about a Yahoo group password and then enabling pop ups, or some such foolery, anyway I'm not that computer savvy, so I gave up.
job board
How does one get to be job board to post a resume? Am looking for companies that work for very small facilities, 50 beds or less.
MQ has their own board. You'd probably have
more success there. Sounds like there are lots of people ready to jump ship judging by the posts here the last couple of days.
With this board, they don't need
xxx
TT board
I don't know if I am allowed to say it here, but yes, they do. E-mail me for info.
IMT job on job board....sm
This is a company based in India. This Chloe person.
Get off our board!
We do not need such nasty comments on our board! I love being and MT and find it quite interesting so go find something/someone else to bash and get out of here!
Here's the ad, it's still there on the board...sm
The ad is still posted on the jobs board just a little bit down the list by now. Here it is:

On another board...
There is an ad for SureSribe. Take a look at that ad. It seems fishy to me. Located in Kansas City MO in the United States? Really? And just where is this ad coming from? Can anyone say India? Look at the phone number. Who writes the phone number that way. And just what does SureSribe mean? Is that even a word? These people...
Yes, unfortunately they are, ad was on a job board..nm
ss
Which job board?
I look on this one every day and MT Jobs once a week at least.
Did you all see the add on the job board?
Transcend is already hiring 20 MTs...
Do you think they are anticipating needing more MTs as the MDI girls wise up to the junk?
