SD apparently screwed up by hitting "reply all" to an email that was meant

In Reply to: Don't know much - about her
Indians they were using as outsourcers. She accidentally let the cat out of the bag when OSi was denying all along that they used Indian MT's. I'm sure her "stepping down" was more of a "quit or you're fired" thing, but that's just my take on it. She was a b*tch, that's for sure, and an incompetant unqualified one at that. QA manager - what a joke.

Nope! I meant wallah! I speak from my neck of the woods, apparently not yours. I'm fine with

No time to answer her email, but apparently
time to hang here on this board, LOL.
I could not "reply" before for some reason...
and when I tried to email you I got the oops page. That is why I made a new post but I thought I explained that in my message. Perhaps I did not, my apologies.
No matter, the only point I was making is I see posters get ganged up on when they post anything negative about this company.
Just as you say, people can post what they want positive or negative, but in my opinion these people slam back with 4 or 5 messages trying to intimidate people from posting anything negative. In essence, they are not allowing people to post their opinions without sort of attacking them or trying to intimidate them.
I was reading some posts farther down the page (and farther into the archives) and the WMX-ers become very disrespectful, in my opinion, toward any who try to post what they do not like about the company.
Since they monitor the site so heavily, I figured they must own the site, that is all. All in all this is too much work for me really - I only wanted to post not to argue or be embarrassed. I used to like to get a few laughs or chuckles at your site because I kind of liked when people were expressing themselves more openly.
I appreciate your explanation and time.
Peace to you...

Posted when I meant to email
I can't believe I did it again, replied on the board when I meant to email privately.
Oops..sorry..Apparently, it's not Transcend's fault, it's the hospitals. Apparently, they d
that we were being overpaid so they changed the way our lines are counted. We will no longer get paid for footers, headers etc,and who knows what else they took out, although we still have to make sure they are all correct and make the appropriate changes and put in information. 
I think you know what I meant. That is not the problem as I responded directly to her email.
I am sure that any other company that tried to respond to her also had the same problem. I know it is sbcglobal.net but hey, I am not on here to get QA'd. I in a very quick moment put up a message to an MT who wanted a job and did it very quickly in the middle of my busy schedule trying to be courteous and helpful.
Have a nice evening or was that eneving. :)
Should help us all, gives them work and they have probably been hitting their (sm)
their secondary and tertiary accounts which might be our primaries. Release them from that and VOILA - more work in someones primary.
That is only a couple of weeks ago. Let's hope for the best. Hope it is a BIG account with dictators who love the sound of their own voices.
Not bad at all. Consistently hitting 2000 plus
lines a day. Just gotta get used to the Audit SW. It's not the greatest but it's not the worse.
Yes I do. I accidentally emailed you earlier. Instead of hitting
the post reply button, I hit the email button. Feel free to email me. Maybe we can add each other to the messenger and talk that way.
Man did I get screwed!
I worked for one of the transcription giants for 6 years and left there making $12.61/hr and that was after a raise after nearly 4 years of begging for more $$$
To screwed over
What was the drug? Have you brought this to anyone's attention at your company?
SS also screwed me..
I have 10+ years experience as MT, worked almost 6 years with SS, 3 of them being QA. I felt like I was probably targeted due to my pay rate. I couldn't make the line count as FT, so I changed to PT status, but still worked 40 hours, just couldn't make the 40-hour line count. They hired a bad bach of MTs and expected us to basically re-type reports. Anyway, just letting you know I feel your pain.. and I feel totally screwed by SS. A company I once felt was the best company ever, and I was so loyal to.
Are we going to get screwed if we are MT/ME? I wind up
doing about half transcription and half ASR, so I might have 800 lines of each. I wouldn't get 1200 transcription lines done because of the ASR work, wonder if that will screw me out of a bonus all the way around or if they have some other complicated formula figured out for that scenario?
Do not go to PMT Kentucky. They are all screwed up.

LOL well I screwed up that sentence but you know what I mean nm
xx
Sounds like you are being screwed.
How is she holding your count? Are you getting paid?
sick of being screwed
I feel the same exact way and with all the continuing education and experience our profession requires it is completely unfair.
May be the same company I used to work for, and they screwed a lot of us over. sm
My old company is hiring again, I see. They gave us this same crap story of why they were going to production, and pretty much everyone on this board heard it then. But what they didn't mention was that line counts weren't being met because they had us on 5 different accounts, training other editors and practically jumping thru hoops. If this is the company you're thinking of joining Kat, then run fast.
Dang. I take it you were screwed by Focus?

don't yell, I know I screwed up....too early..lol..nm

I worked for Monrovia (poster below who got screwed)
Don't know anything about Santa Ana, but stay away from Monrovia.
They were an awful fit for me. And their DQS software screwed up my harddrive. nm

Yeah I was hired by Wedmedx but I screwed up.
They had even sent me the equipment. I was so excited..it was an ortho position and then I have family medical issues and just one thing after another. There was a misunderstanding. I guess I was supposed to get ahold of them with my new start date and I was waiting for them to contact me once I got all of final paperwork in etc. In any event, when I got ahold of them, they said I was supposed to have followed up by now and wouldnt give me a chance. I was so bummed. I havent found a decent place to call home since then. This was like 2-3 months ago. Good luck to you. The insurance was the main reason I was going to go there too.
Thanks. I think it would hurt even more to be screwed by someone I considered a friend. sm
I had that happen a long time ago. Fortunately, at the time I didn't need the money. She had called me and was panicked because she was snowed under and wouldn't be able to make TAT. I worked myself to death all weekend long, but when it came to pay me, there was one excuse after another, and finally she gave me a check ... and it bounced.
On a happier note, or at least I hope it turns out happy, I wrote to the woman in Virginia again and she finally answered me saying that she had taken care of it and not to bother her again as she had clients to take care of ... whatever. Maybe this time the old squeaky wheel theory works.
I am sure that not all people without direct deposit are cheats, and I am glad you have found someone you can rely on. It will just take awhile to get this bad taste out of my mouth and learn to trust again.
Short on hours - screwed on holiday pay. My fault (sm)
I didn't educate myself better on how to qualify for holiday bonus. If i had known I would have butted in (outside my scheduled shift) and picked up those hours to make sure I did qualify.
I saw a memo stating no more PTO for Xmas and reminded us about the total hours for holiday pay.
If more and more of us pick up that extra 5 hours a week to be FT what the heck is going to happen.
Happy with the company overall, just grumping cause I feel like I got cheated out of the holiday pay. New employees should have been reminded IMHO.
I guess if I got screwed out of my paycheck or got lied to by an employer I'd have a rotten att
This board is a great way to find out about an unsavory company before those things happen to you. If you think warning people about scheisters, liars, bottom feeders, and rip-off artists is amusing, time to double up on your meds, sweetheart.
Merit is what is screwed up. As usual. New managers couldn't care less.

Plenty of kids of stay at home moms are screwed up SM
I am a single mother whose child was in day care from age 20 months until kindergarten. She is turning out a lot better than most of the kids in her school. She is a teenager now and does not drink, she is an honor student. Come on now.... it depends on each individual case. You cannot make a blanket statement like you just did. That is ignorant.
Working is actually a good example for your children.
I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for
xxx
It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
Apparently not
I asked this same question a short time ago and no one answered. I switched from a major player to a smaller comany for that very reason, now THEY are switching to a platform. The platforms seem to provide the benefit to the MTSO, not to the transcriptionist, in my experience. Line counts drop, no more pay for headers/footers, can't use your own AutoText. It's not that I'm an old dog unwilling to change with the times, I just don't appreciate being taken advantage of.
Uh, apparently someone else did it for me. nm

Apparently you did, and you need one!
The last company I worked for their IT department came in on my computer and changed the IP configuration on my router so bad I had to get a new one. They shadowed in so there was nothing I could do while they were doing it. Not to mention not a single one of them could speak English and only communicated through IM - I left. To say that a high turnover rate means bad MTs is ridiculous. There are a lot of things we discover once working for a company and some of us do not feel the need to accept those things so leave.
Apparently, since many of us
work at home and cannot be present in the office for a big warm and fuzzy ''group hug'' we feel entitled to other ''stuff'' in compensation?
Group e-mails do very little for me, by way of validation. What does mean something to me is a personal e-mail if/when I do something meritorious, above and beyond, to deserve it. If I really push beyond my contractual obligation to help clear a backlog, work on my days off at the boss's request, do a spectacular job on a very difficult dictation and get an ''attagirl'' from QA - on those occasions, I appreciate being commended or thanked. But a generic e-mail thanking me for not calling in sick all the time, being dependable, working the days I have agreed to work, being as accurate as I am expected to be really means nothing to me. This just reminds me of the ''every kid gets a trophy'' theory we operate under nowadays. If you want a reward, do something extra to deserve it!
Well, apparently
The 5 or so supposedly separate posters in this thread who weren't paid are saying they believe they were hired to just do a frenzied clean-up over an overflow accoount and then not paid. I think that's why a couple of them have pointed out overflow work.
I think...?
I'm kind of lost in this thread and trying to keep it clear in my muddled brain while I read the posts, lol!
Apparently! nm

Apparently....
you are too immature to understand the concept or have never wanted for anything. Not everyone is in your shoes. Some MTs wear Guccis, others hand-me downs. Same job should equate to equal pay for all MTs who do the same type of work. It doesn't always. Without complaints, you don't get anywhere. You have no need to complain, apparently. Everyone has different needs. An MT who is single with very few bills may make a wonderful living at $16 an hour. A single parent MT, trying to support 3 or 4 kids at .07 cpl does not find it so easy. Gag and then puke!
That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to
Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO. Geeesh.
You bet it does. Apparently, you have been out of the loop sm
for a long time. Go work in a hospital office and see the brown nosers there. How about an insurance company? All sorts there. Better yet, go to a bank. How about some of the major corporate offices? They kiss butt all the time and even do "other things" to get to the top. Get real and get used to it. This is life. I like to come to this board and see your "holier than thou" and "poor me" attitudes and make total idiots of yourselves. It makes for great entertainment. I definitely would NOT want to work alongside the likes of you. No wonder your job didn't work out. Nobody likes catty transcriptionists. Pull in your claws.
Well apparently you don't have much work lately
LOL
I just went there and apparently all the posts have
//
well, apparently I have missed that.
Not a problem, though. Have a great day
We apparently don't have the same coverage
I have been charged the deductible for office visits, which was a surprise to me when it happened. Also, many medications are $50 per co-payment.
If you are healthy and don't need it, I guess it's good insurance. If you use it, you pay a LOT out of pocket and now it will be worse.
Apparently I got lucky....
I have great communication from my TM and have had no problems whatsoever. I hope you get your schedule changed to help you out and early congrats on the baby!
Apparently they did not have any difficulty--sm
getting responses, which the last mentioned was 135. Perhaps you should have applied, just to find out who they are, since you cannot seem to sit still in your undies just wondering about it, or maybe you DID apply and didn't get chosen....sour grapes. sheesh. real mature.
apparently you do not have the same supervisor I did!
Exact opposite. Pay was always on time, though.
Apparently you aren't going to let this go!
Tricky: I asked a while back how far off the line counts are in your mind - 2% 1% 10%?
If its a small discrepancy you might consider dropping it, if its a lot you could find a different job if management can't explain it to your satisfaction.
That said, I'm totally in your corner if there is serious discrepancy here, but so far you have not elaborated how much you think the counts are off.
That's how stupid it is, but apparently it has been done. sm
So many people think that MT is easy and they can pick it up fast, but getting in the door is the tough part.
Years ago someone on one of these boards confessed to doing such a thing. I've heard other similar stories as well.
It IS sad. It brings us all down.
No your hand is up, because apparently
you think it's normal for somebody not to be able to spell the name of the company they work for. Sorry, my hand is down because I agree that's a little weird. Sorry if that offends, people, I just think it's strange.
So, apparently some QT-ers went to Keystrokes. Did you SM
spend the last few months somewhere else and then change to KS, or have you been there all along? I myself was at WMX for a while and have recently switched to another company but not KS.
I am STILL not really adjusted, and I am just wondering how everyone is doing. It's been tough, hasn't it?
Someone apparently doesn't have a job.
