Posting on the company board and companies figuring out
Posted By: AnonMT on 2008-10-15

who it is. Okay, this is the topic, and the reason why I am bringing this up is there were at least 2 posts here in the last week stating they believed the company would find out or did find out they posted here and they said negative things and might get fired or did not get hired because of it.
How is this possible? Can a recruiter or boss actually pin down who is posting? What if someone says something and they are a troll and sounds like a situation which the company person perceives is an employee and they take it out on the possible new hire or employee and they are wrong?
There have been posts here in the past by company managers who say if they find out who is posting they will sue for slander. Then, MTs come on here and assume that the companies go to the board managers and get the IP address to figure out who this is. Even if it was a certain IP address, and they went through this whole process to find out, it could be routed through another IP address such as overseas (this is often done in the case of hiding identity).
Since this is an anon board, how can any company say for sure it is a certain person. Why would they go to the trouble unless it were given to the police or a lawyer in the case of attempted murder or threat of such?
I want to know you opinions. And moderator please feel free to comment. Wondering if our IP addresses are given out every time a company suspects something and if so, is this an invasion of our privacy since this should be anon. Or, is it that people are paranoid, whether it be the employee/new hire, or company assuming such. Remember to never assume because why? You make an *** out of u and me.
Thanks for your comments. This has been bothering me a while now, and I would like to get some input back on this issue from companies and from posters alike.

You were just posting on her board
when she didn't like your avatar. ??????????? I'm not sure I understand this whole thread. There are a lot of companies that offshore and there are also a lot of companies that do not pay ever. It's a shame, but it's true. 
How did they get your name from posting on this board. nm
:
Before posting on any board you should know the rules/
guidelines. There is a link on the top of each page that tells you what you need to know and one of them is not to post account information. No one is attacking you. It is just common sense that you don't go around posting account information.
Posting my resume on job board
TIA
It's simple, look at the job posting board.
The more ads you see from the same company, they are the companies to avoid. They have the biggest turnover and the worst MTs.
WHO is being sued for posting on the board?
Seriously is someone being sued for their post?
If so, what is the charge?
On the face of it, this seems outrageous - would appreciate any details you can share.
I think you are damage control posting all over this board lately.

Hands On Transcription does, there is a posting for them on the board.
they are hiring now.
There are board posting policies at the top of the page

Was let go from Zylomed because of posting to MTStars board
Just a little followup to my post of 10-14-06 post to this board. The Zylomed MT manager failed to address the real issue I raised concerning taking away regular work without notice or explaination, but decided to let me go today because of my post about their company to this board. So, because of my comments I have been let go. Maybe it's best to not name company names (excuse me, my tongue is in my cheek) on a board that's specifically designed to uncover these problems. So, MTs beware, I guess. However, I received many supportive emails from others visiting this board--one of those kind MTs referred me to another service that I'm starting with tomorrow (while I beat the pavement locally.) Much happier MT today! Feel like I can breathe again. This board has awesome support. All worked out well.

I may be posting this question on the wrong board but
does anyone know who manufactures or carries a computer chair that has arms which pivot from the position at each side of the chair (regular position for armrests) to the front of the chair which gives you a really nice armrest. I saw one chair like this recently, but before I could even look into buying it, the college that was using it put it in for their auction and I lost track of it. It was the nicest chair I have ever sat in and the one I have now is ready for retirement. Thanks so much if anyone knows of this. :)
WAITING FOR WORK? POSTING ON JOB SEEKERS BOARD.sm
07/28/09 for new MTs, FT & PT, all shifts. Are they saying the accounts are UNDERSTAFFED?
Naturally, the new hirees will be gooing and gushing all over this board again about how GREAT their accounts are and how EASY their dictators are.
I JUST WONDER WHAT THIS LATEST, YET ANOTHER HIRING BLITZ IS GOING TO LEAD TO IN ANOTHER FEW WEEKS. Anyone care to predict?  .
ANYONE ELSE BEING SUED BY TRANSTECH MEDICALFOR POSTING ON THIS BOARD??

The problem with posting a question like that on a public board is that you could get inaccurate inf
I asked a question about a company I worked for, received 5 responses all saying the same thing, that we were paid for a holiday, which was wrong. I counted on it and was in a bind because of it.
More companies posting
It seems to me I am seeing more and more companies with names I don't recognize posting jobs. I know that one well-regarded company that rarely advertises and with decent pay is having a hard time filling positions. I think this is the time to push for higher line rates. 6-7 cpl is regressive, as the MTs with 10 years or more know. If the experienced MTs refuse these low line rates they will HAVE to up the line rate eventually. That, or accept inferior work. They obviously have signed contracts with hospitals, clinics, etc., and if they want to keep those contracts, they will need workers. If they can't hire at the low line rates what do you suppose they will do?
this is good to know. Keep posting about these companies.
nm
Would probably lead to companies not posting rates though.
I would rather them be allowed to post their insane rates so then I know not to waste my time applying.
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
God forbid the poor poster made a mistake by posting on the wrong board!! Good grief!
nm
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

Where is this company posting for help at?

I doubt anyone posting about Spheris is using company computer, so how exactly would
!!!!!
Thanks for posting that...Just goes to show that Keystrokes is a great company and will work with yo
I hope it works out for you and you start feeling better soon...
Figuring pay. sm
You're the only one in a position to figure this out. It depends on how long the reports are, whether there is a lot of canned text on one account, etc. Keep track of your lines and hours on both jobs for awhile (I assume you're working them both now), and figure your hourly output. If you're doing a lot of short reports, such as clinic, you may come out ahead counting the headers. If the reports are longer, you need the spaces. Good luck.
Thanks for figuring your lines out, but....sm
could it be possible that they change line count specifics for each different account or isn't that possible. Don't know the first thing about it. Just a thought. Also, I had a very easy account with no ESL and still couldn't get the lines. I just moved on but I was disappointed because I liked the company but too hard to make any money. I make way better money now even at a lower line rate and less time on my butt...hmmm...
Okay, lets do some figuring (sm)
Lets say there are 20 MTs working for a company. The company charges the docs 0.16 per line. The MTs get 0.08 per line. The MTs each do 1000 lines per day, 6 days a week.
1000 x 0.08 = 80 per day
$80 x 20 MTs = $1600 a day.
$1600 x 6 days a week = $9600 a week.
$9600 x 52 weeks in a year = $499,200 a year.
Several companies on the Job Seeker's Board pay that.
I see 3 right now. I can't say who they are, but they are there.
Board is for talking BETWEEN the MTs, not the companies!
Aren't you being ugly? LOL
Maybe you should be pulled!
There are companies on this board advertising for 8 cpl
They also want you to pay your own taxes, provide equipment,and pay your own long distance service. PLEASE. Don't do it.
Can companies track who you are on this board?
If you post a question/comment here about your company, if they wanted to know who you are, it is possible for them to track down who you are?
Thanks
I will bet if all these companies had message board that sm
you would still see the same things as on the MQ board. Same crap goes on everywhere.
Just figuring on the number of emails
With the last count of MLSs I had heard there at around 100 (not counting MDI), I was figuring that since I received 73 emails of support for either the content of my post or disagreement with it being removed, it was the majority. If the base number of 100 had changed, then I stand corrected.
There is some convoluted method to figuring OT.
The guy in payroll told me how to figure it once, but I forgot it. Something about figuring your total line count, dividing it by something to get your OT lines and then multiplying it time something else. Your OT lines are then subtracted from your total lines, so if you have the incentive bonus over 13,000 and they subtract your OT lines and it's less than 13K, you don't qualify for the incentive bonus anymore. I used to think it was counted for all the lines, but it's not if you have OT.
Figuring amount for pay per minute
Does anyone know how to charge by the minute of dictation? I only know rates for by the line.
Ty
Probably figuring they can lure in all those that are leaving
s
Figuring line count
To figure lines by 65 character line, you would take the total characters (NOT lines) divide characters by 65, then multiply that by .06.
Example: 15,000 characters/65 = 231 lines. 231 lines x 0.06 = $13.85.
Stick with the recommended companies from the New MT Board. nm

Figuring that a line is roughly 10 words, it's 8 cpl pay. nm
,
Still need help on figuring what would be a good cpl if paid w/o spaces.
See my first message above. Thanks
It's amazing to read this board and see how many rotten MT companies there are out there!
What the heck happened to this business!
It's amazing to read this board and see how many rotten MT companies there are out there!
Only if you believe what you read on this web site. Personally, I would not put one ounce of thought into what someone anonymously writes.
Doesn't this board not allow posts or ads by companies that outsource?
nnm
are you serious? This board is for MTs to get information about companies from personal experience.
nm
Hmm...I was getting 0.005 cpword 13 years ago,figuring 10 words a line, it was 5 cpl, beginner's
s
Company board was down also. N/M
