You dont think any company wont save a penny anywhere they
yui
I didn't say that post was slanderous
Read it again, and no....I don't watch garbage TV, I guess that's why I'm so naive.
Slanderous posts
I've known Deb at Allstate a long time. You are confusing her with the Deb B mentioned on here yesterday.
I work for the MQ, and they save reports. I don't save them.

Like a bad penny...
A Kool-Aid drinker, too Like the mantra in Field Of Dreams- If it's posted, it must be true! Can't you just hear Johnny Cochran bellowing that out in court? Yes, my tired, old, ex-QA (riiiight!), she said she wasn't interviewed so that's that. She didn't disparage the recruiter either, I suppose. Maybe all of this is just a bad dream- like when you supposedly worked here. Oh, that's right- you quit! Uh-huh, sure. Oh, but wait! Before you did, the owner BEGGED you to stay! Anyone who knows anything about our illustrious leader knows BEGGING is not part of his ballywick, so you must be sharing the same dream. I would love to know when you left, as I'm sure our research would find that you were terminated, or resigned in lieu of. It would certainly explain your sour apples after so much time. I thought when you QUIT a company, you do so to improve your lot in life and show them that you are much better tahn they? How come, after so much time away, there is still such anger and resentment? Could it be that you realize it was a big mistake to quit or in fact you were really let go? I think we know the truth. Enjoy your dream!
I believe her name is Penny, not sure if still there.
To penny...
You have a point. I have tried to do this for 9 years now with the same company. This last one really has me thinking though. If they keep cutting, pretty soon we will have to pay to work for them because what we get will not even pay our internet bill. I keep going until I find something I am sure will work for me. I do not care for uncertainty especially in this time. I may be not happy, miserable, and completely beside myself over it, but I won't just quit on a whim. Did that once in my younger years and learned to regret it when the paycheck never came.
Penny has only been with KS a month or so. sm
Call Becky at the office or call and talk to whoever answers. Tell them the situation and tell them that you want to work for KS but feel that you have been shuffled. I would bet that they will get it done for you. No company wants a reputation for letting good MTs fall through cracks.
And they don't pay 1 penny of downtime
when the system is down for hours at a time.
Penny Pray
Penny Pray's company is a small Maine transcription company. They are a good company, and good to work for. The only problem is if you do their psych work, it's very difficult to make decent pay because many dictators are slow speaking, different formats and it just takes too long to get decent pay. If you get their ops, you might do ok.
Penny is awesome!
I know everyone has their own opinions and experiences with people, but I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Penny Whalen. She is a great recruiter and a great person!!!
Penny Bashing!
I have never heard more woman being catty! Have any of you ever watched the movied called Mean Girls? I have worked with Penny and found her to be communicative, friendly, and out of her way helpful! Have you ever heard that old saying, if you don't have anything nice to say?
job posting (Penny Pray)??
Anyone know who this company is? Their job posting seems to be incomplete.
How naive you are
Unethical practices effect all of us MTs!!! The higher management wages for not a decent days work, the lower wages for us lowly MTs. Anyone who does not work on production can get away with anything working remotely. Does that not make sense to you??? Companies do not care? Oh I think they very much do care. You are obviously defending your own poor work ethic.
You are very naive.

Don't be so naive...
at least look around for another job in case what people think is going to happen happens.
How naive.
Ask the people living in Gaza if they would agree with you. As the 4 million Iraqis in exile. Ask some Holocaust survivors.
You've got an awful lot of growing up to do.
Wow. Naive. nm
12 years ago I charged a penny a word

Transcription @ Its Best - Penny Pray, owner.
Great woman to work for. Pay is always on time, plenty of work. She runs an honest company with integrity.
Please don't call me naive...you don't know me
I was just making an addition to what I've been reading. That's why I put I just read... jeesh
you are very naive (but in a nice way)
The Indians who are poor WILL REMAIN SO and will not get a job as an MT. There is no concept of Welfare in India either. They will starve on the side of the road while the Indians with offshored jobs buy more clothes, cellphones, cars, etc.
The reason is that it is very difficult to get a PRIMARY EDUCATION in India. Most Indians are TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY ILLITERATE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, LET ALONE ENGLISH. To send your kid to primary schools that will actually teach them something, costs money and the poor in India don't have it. It is the opposite of our country, which has a free education up to high school for all. Then we have to pay for college ourselves. In India, the colleges are free or very cheap, but the primary education is hard to get.
The person who is taking a job as an MT in India is NOT a poor soul crying thanks to the heavens that s/he can now feed their children. Much to the contrary. The people getting the MT jobs over there are of the upper middle class. They are overeducated and underemployed and end up doing MT because they can't live off their parents forever OR they are older and want to slow down. In India, MTs get paid either 1/2 or 1/3 of what call center workers get. It is considered lowly to be an MT (strictly a typist one step above the office peon and yes there is a job category in India called a peon) and the call center workers are called executives. MTs in India are failures in their chosen fields and/or could not hack it at a call center.
How do I know all this? EASY. I have family in INDIA. I have seen the classified ads for jobs there. They are so desperate for MTs that they will train anyone for free. Notice in the USA they only want EXPERIENCED MTs and then the companies cry about how THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH MTs. Crying with a loaf under each arm.
In short, sending MT jobs in India does nothing for the poor except possibly make a household servant job (pay is usually equivalent to $US 25 a MONTH) available.
Please: you're either very new or very naive

OK say she was naive like her team
Please tell us exactly what emails you are referring to that TOLD us our jobs are GONE!?! I've been RIGHT HERE trying to get work and answers - you must have been part of the golden inner circle that GOT answers - not me!
Possibly a penny a line? I've never had anyone ask if I had my CMT on an interview. nm

No, I'm not on his side. He ought to pay every penny he owes. It doesn't matter what
This is a capitalist society. He is free to charge as much as the market will bear.
If you're tolerating that, then the market holds.
For the trouble, I'd make a surcharge onto the shipping charge as well.
If he did not pay my 1st check within 24 hours of the pay date (absolute proof), I would stop working that very day for him.
So you are embarrassed. You are also extremely naive.

with all due respect, your response is somewhat naive..sm
how easy do you think it is for a company to say our MTs are all U.S. based? Sweetness, it's called the internet. I can't believe some buy into this. If I were a doctor and assured that my dictation was being typed by all U.S. MT's, do you think I would buy that - no. Especially when they can hire overseas MTs and pay them half the wages. Pleae get with reality here. Have a great evening! Also, DRC has no say so now; remember, they were bought out.
No, Amphion takes what they can get, the naive MTs.

Wow, you are a naive little thing, aren't you?
Yes, I am sure TT will get it all straightened out. It has all been just a bad dream. We will all wake up and this silly VR CRAP will have been just a nightmare. They won't be trying to RIP US OFF while trying to sweet talk us at the same time (sounds like some guys I've dated!).
About that gift... Not to sound 2 years old but, really, what else do we get in this biz? MT Week is about the only thing left and TT just ignored it. Nice. Very nice... TT Management, you can take that sweetie crap and... well, you get the picture.
Now, you go back to watching the Disney network. They have nice stories too that always have happy endings. Seems like something you can handle.
a little naive to think the 'suits' don't come here wouldn't you say? nm

"NN" means 'NOT NAIVE'
NM
Can you spell naive? See if you can answer this question..
What do you suppose happens once these people are trained to do YOUR job at less than HALF of what YOU ARE making?
get it yet?
and no, most of the time there are not plenty of jobs to go around.
I cannot believe anyone is this naive - you have an agenda perhaps?
In the dark, naive, have blinders on. ER is going down fast. nm
no msg.
You are correct: A naive person. Better jobs out there.

If you think I'M a bully you're incredibly naive
There's nothing remotely bullying about my post. I stated my opinion. You post on here asking for opinions and I gave you one. It just wasn't the self-serving opinion you were seeking assuring you that you did the right thing.
Yes, perhaps you did the right thing for you by turning that job down; but if you're so happy where you're at, why are you wasting the time of MTSOs and perhaps pushing other MTs out of the running so they can spin their wheels with you? Also, about 98% of these posts on the job seekers board indicate when a weekend day will be required; you should have known going in when you applied apparently just out of curiosity that a weekend day would be required.
Sorry, but I'll leave you to your God and your family and your ability to pick and choose 'wonderful' job offers.
I'm just glad another MT will get a shot at this job who realizes people do indeed need reports transcribed on the weekend, and I certainly hope your God is on standby if a loved one ever needs a critical care transport and all reports transcribed and ready to go, because if the staff is a bunch of MTs refusing to work weekends, it could be a real inconvenience to have to wait until Monday for the official transcribed documents to be completed and faxed.
I'm done here...
But a 'Thanks for Your Hard Work' email wouldn't cost them a penny :-(
It's not even about a gift, really. It's just more about the lack of acknowledgement in general.
I'm sure a lot of MTs, not just MDI people, are feeling a bit disillusioned and unappreciated this week.
New, naive, desperate, carpal tunnel, slow transcriptionists... I don't know.

Save it for QA, please.

Save
Might be a good idea to save a copy of the old manual before it's replaced for comparison purposes. Just a thought.
Thanks for the info--you will save someone
Obviously not soon enough to save the reputation of
the company and possibly some good MTs. If there are more like her around there, no wonder they get such bad comments.
They save millions
by offshoring our work. We may not see the big picture when we think about the penny difference, but pennies make dollars, and dollars make millions. They are saving and pocketing a whole lot more than what they pay editors to fix the junk.
As someone said later in this thread, why not just open up your doors to U.S. newbies who are begging for jobs and ten times better. It is all about mighty greenback, as is everything in this country.
Nobody is stealing our jobs. The U.S. government is allowing MTSOs to hand them over. I don't blame the people who take them at all. They would be crazy not to while living in country that has no jobs if they have a family to clothe and feed. It is all about greed as usual, greedy MTSOs who have no pride and have given in and given up.
The roof will come tumbling down on everybody's heads one day. It's just a matter of time!
My discipline in being able to save
was what I was able to fall back on in order to survive while I worked for them. I had hoped my job with them would work out in spite of the line rate being so low, but it didn't. I found the lines very hard to get. But I'm glad it happened. I'm in a much better place now, having no trouble making my line count and am being paid much more by a company that deducts all taxes.
I didn't realize at first that they weren't taking out my state taxes. I know it was my responsibility to go over my pay stub with a fine tooth comb, but it didn't occur to me that they wouldn't take out my state tax; evey other company I've ever worked for did.
When I discovered it, I requested them to do it, and they refused. That's when I quit.
I just love people who condemn others as having *no discipline* when they don't know the circumstances of the situation or the person involved. 
You have to go out and come back in. Save it as if
you are going out of the shell, but then go right back in. I used to do this after every paragraph. I do not remember actually the exact F keys to use to perform that, but you should know from typing in there currently how to get out once you are finished typing. Just go back into the same document. Hope this helps.
Save the file...
To say they belonged to MQ would be like saying you can't take your phone numbers out of your cell phone if you decide to change services - or save your bookmarks in IE and use them in Firefox.
Save yourself and get out of there ASAP.
NO COMPANY IS WORTH SHEDDING A SINGLE TEAR OVER, ESPECIALLY AN MT COMPANY -- THEY BARK AT US LIKE DOGS AND PAY SLAVE WAGES.
You are welcome. Just trying to save you some headaches.
I know you realize I speak the truth, because if you search the archives to about a year ago, you will see the same wording and rah, rah sounds. Then, take a look through the year at at more recent posts, you will easily get the picture. Truth comes out no matter what. There are a few good companies out there and you can find them if you do your research. Good luck to you.
I save all my reports
I'm required to do so. You wouldn't believe how many times I'm contacted to send them this note or that note because they lost it. I also use previous reports as a form for typing previous reports on the same patient as my doctors tend to use almost the exact same report every time (I only do office notes).
If you don't save them, I would assume one
would be out of a job if required to by employer.
It is all about the pennies they will save.
Let's face it, the bean counters really don't give a crap about quality, just how the finances look on the books. Transcription is a thorn in their side, nothing more, nothing less. However, without transcription, their reimbursements would be gone. I don't get why transcription is not valued they way it should be. It goes hand-in-hand with coding and reimbursements for the hospital.
Some things will never change, no matter how hard we try.
