guidance. A second account I retrieved about an hour at most of training with my TL, but she didn't know how to do everything herself either and would have to ask a third party. It was not near enough training for the platform. I never had any group training. I was able to ask questions, but it may take several days to get an answer on my primary account, and my TL was more or less - do whatever you think should be done. I don't think she is a TL anymore.

received your e-mail.
2000 to 2500 lines an hour? Even I don't believe that.
Please forward me the e-mail that you received.
I do not believe that anyone would tell you to take a few days off (not saying I don't believe you, but I know we are busy and I need to know who told you that).
If anyone is running out of work, I would like to know about it immediately.

I received an e-mail from them that said 8 cpl regardless of experience? nm.

That e mail you received is truly ugly.
What will they think of next. Just plain evil doings, these days!
Any website visited, any e-mail sent/received is
on that computer. I don't know if they can access your computer when not connected, but all the information is there when you connect should they want to access it. I always used another computer for nonwork related issues, not that I was paranoid or had anything to hide, I just thought it was a good idea.
I think e-mail might depend on what account you do. SM
I got eight last Friday and 6 on Saturday. That's a lot as far as I am concerned and they all same the same thing.
Did you talk to Lee about your account? She sent an e-mail (sm)
at the end of January asking every MT to e-mail her if they had any problems with their accounts or schedules. I e-mailed her and it took a while but I finally heard back and I got my schedule changed to what I wanted. The same holds true for not enough work on your account. They even posted something here last week saying they weren't going to hire anyone until everyone who currently worked there was satisfied with their schedule and accounts. I would e-mail her directly and tell her. I know they just put a job posting on here yesterday I think, and that is for the account I work on as it gets really behind on the weekend. Luckily I have a very high volume account and don't have to ask for more work. But if I did need more work, I would not hesitate to e-mail my lead Transcriptionist or e-mail Lee directly and tell them about it.
Can you e-mail me with the account names?
I have a feeling I might be on at least 1 if not 2 of the accounts leaving . . . or at least accounts that have some fishy stuff going on at the current moment in time.
I agree, especially when one can set up a g-mail account in 2 minutes
I can't imagine a reputable employer using an email address like theirs. Utterly unprofessional.
Instructions inside
If you have Windows, go to My Computer, Display, Settings, and play with your Screen Resolution. I have mine at 1280 x 1024. Good luck!
Great Instructions - Thank you!! (nm)

To further explain, the instructions came from
the hospital where the work comes from in the first place. The top person (at the hospital) is not the most fuzzy person to start with and she, not the company, gives the orders. You know, you can go with the flow and do the work the way they like or like I said, go elsewhere. Everyone here in the US is free as far as I know. I am happy and just go with the flow. I hardly ever hear a word from management on this end so I consider that pretty heavenly. If you are looking, maybe you can find a job where if the VR is horrible then you will be able to erase and straight type at 4 (or 3) cents a line and be happy. I hope to stay put right here.
Would you mind to give instructions on doing that?
Thanks!!!
Sounds like they stole the instructions from the Q! :)
just my opinion.
Wanna give the rest of us instructions on how to make a line count like that, aside from doing all

Spheris Canada...Applied on line per instructions but problems with template...
After completing page 1 it flips to page 2 and asks you for to choose a State...obviously I'm in Canada (for which page 1 had that option). I am hoping this did not screw up my application.
I am very experienced so I am sure they would contact me...Checked out their web site and there is only a general inq # to call.
Is anyone working with the Canada (Ontario) Division...is it all through US head office....any insight ?
Forget AHDI, just follow the instructions for how to write proper authorities use your own words-sm
I'm afraid folks are not acting. Maybe it won't do any good, but certainly if we don't raise our voices, the chances are not good for us.
How do I access MQ Internet mail? I'm registered on Q-Net but don't see any e-mail thingie the

I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)
you could manually type it in and resend me the info. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.
Yes - regular mail and my reg mail stinks, so let them know.

That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
I received one of those once-sm
I read through the whole thing before realizing what the heck this applicant was doing. At first, I thought she accidentally sent me some patient's report!
Yup, you definitely should have received it. It's on 2/29 at 2 PM CST
I would contact Vicky in the office if you never received the e-mail because it is a mandatory conference.
I received from
the old payroll company but not the new.
Any MDI-MD MTs received W2's?
I had mine by this time last year, just wondering if anyone else has rec'd theirs yet, and if I should check into it...
Repeatedly told another new account would come soon, but it never did. In fact, our slow account is.
everyone else's backup account. What a disorganized mess.
No. The only letter I have received is the
September 2nd letter announcing the upcoming Rewards Plan.
Yes, if ASR pay is being reduced that is a pay cut. It is A pay cut. The above post made implication that there was a pay cut across the board, "... the pay cut ...".
I just don't see a need to be careless with that kind of assumption.
I have received nothing about the ASR reduction. However, I do not do ASR and it may have only gone to those MTs.
At least you received a reply! SM
I tested almost two weeks ago and still no word. I find a lot of the companies just don't ever get in touch anymore. That's just rude! 
You already received 3 answers below .. maybe that's all there is? nm

received the email
I received the e-cards as well - sm
I'll bet we have the same liason! I really like her and thought it was very thoughtful of her to take the time to do this.
I have never really received more money for it BUT if you want to do
it for yourself, do it! I have been able to get other jobs other than MT just by having it because whether or not it means anything to other MTs, it always looks good to have a professional credential after your name if you are in any kind of mentoring position, QA, or management. I wanted it because I wanted to expand what I did and even though it might not have been required, it looks credible. Nothing wrong with doing it for yourself for no reason at all. It is a difficult test and to take it and pass it makes you feel good inside. Some companies do pay a differential per line or for doing QA can reap you more per hour. Again it is a personal choice and no it does not make you a better MT but it certainly makes you feel like you have accomplished something. We need things like feelings of accomplishment in what we do for a living. It's the only credential our field offers and I see nothing wrong with wanting to get it. Go for it and good luck.
I also received a computer
today and will be starting soon. I am really looking forward to it. So far, everyone has been very professional and kind. I like the fact that they take the time and go through the expense of mailing a professionally done packet of new hire paperwork and then providing the means for you to send it back to them via fed ex. Most companies email you tons of attachments that you have to use up a ton of ink to print out...then they expect you to fax it all back...which if you don't own a fax, you have to pay lots to fax 10-20 pages. The company seems very organized. They even sent FedEx labels for me to keep just in case I have to return the equipment for any reason. I hope that things continue to go well and hopefully, I have found my home.
I know that Spheris offshores however, I feel that US MTs will always be in high demand, because there will always be hospitals/docs who refuse to have their work done by overseas MTs.
Has anyone who received the mass
emailing from Keystrokes received the promised phone call yet? I have not and am just wondering
I am one of a # of people who received SM
a check equal to about 4 months' pay from them for avoiding overtime pay. That is no rumor. That FACT was investigated by the Pennsylvania Dept of Labor and Diskriter was forced to pay out rightfully owed overtime pay because they repeatedly, verbally and in writing, demanded mandatory overtime and made statements that we were to only write in 40 hours for that week or face disciplinary action.
FACT. Not rumor.
Received the Same Offer
Do you mind if I ask who you work for?
Pay? Yeah right - you never received your pay.
Don't even go there - they cannot even pay on time or even let you know that it is going to be late - even when it is Christmas time of all times. They are very bad, disorganized and the rudest people ever. Stay far away.
I received a gift as well. s/m
I really appreciated it as I have only been working for this company for a few months. It's nice to be remembered at all.
I haven't received it. Please try again.

I received one this week
It had some interesting comments about hospitals and costs of transcription as well as pay for MTs not rising since 1998, which is what I had noticed more or less.
I also see one of their top people mentioned is a former supervisor of mine at MQ. She was very nice. Perhaps I'll apply there!
I havent received anything. nm

I sent resume and received no
invitation to test, response or acknowledgment.
So, if this is a scam, what is the catch? What would anyone want with a bunch of MT resumes? If it is a joke, I supose there could be some sick humor there, but what's the punchline? I still don't get the point of something like this.
I received mine.....
I had my computer before the phone call. I had to set it up before training.
no email received
can you provide more info?
This packet we just received is merely
supplemental ins. That is what AFLAC is; it is not a primary insurance coverage. They do have other insurance, from what I hear, and if full coverage is needed, you do need to talk to Vicki in the office!!! I hear it is kinda pricy, though...
Yes, I received my payment
Yes, I have received my payment as promised.
Has anyone received a TransTech W2 yet? I know
nm
a lot of us received an email
asking when we would be able to have an interview--NOTHING, NADA after that.
Has anyone from Transtech received their W2?
nm
I have not received by W2 yet from Spheris. Has anyone? nm

I received several e-mails sm
privately stating some of the same things the others had said. These e-mails are all from experienced MTs with 20+ years experience. I would agree with your post IF the e-mail I had gotten from the recruiter hadn't been worded so strangely. She was very very nice but it was obvious this was a problem with her higher up and she did not agree with it. Its ok but it does aggravate me that they are taking up so many MTs time with their testing and not being up front. I would rather they say they are slow than make up something. I can't say as I would feel comfortable working for a company that would lie up front. I am glad you have a great experience there though. Any job in this economy is a blessing! BTW from the time these posts were done yesterday until this morning, I have had a job offer I think I am going to take. Thanks for your post.
