Seriously, what's the point of posting if you're gonna leave out the most vital info? nm

You're probably gonna get more than me...:(
I've been at Oracle long enough now to know that the recruiter is a lying sack of excrement! I left my previous job because of low/no work and accepted a job at Oracle (OTI). The recruiter said over and over how busy this account was and how they're needing somebody bad, etc etc. I've been out of work for 3 days now. In fact, this is not at all unusual because ever since I started I run out of work 4 days out of 5 and that's with 3 accounts. I feel like such a failure for even trying to do this job anymore. I just don't know what it is with these companies?
you're gonna feel like a new human sm
being for sure! Congrats!
What is your point posting and not
providing specifics?
Your posting is a case in point
We can argue whether postings on here really should be scrutinized, or proofread. But your posting contains a couple separate things that VR isn't going to catch and I suspect many of the younger and newer MTs are not going to catch. Some of us were educated in a day where grammar (and this includes punctuation, tense-matching, etc) was actually drilled into us...some of us read when we 'edit' so that phrases that don't make sense jump out at us. And these are the little things that slow down someone that does more than just type the words, and why it's sometimes easier to just retype the whole dang thing. Of course, if you're saying we should give up striving for the 100% grammatically and medically accurate report, your point may be valid.
FYI: 2nd sentence needs cleaning up and it's AN MT, not A MT.
nobody's fault.
begIn in a field, not began.
capitalist free market (the dash as placed indicates a market that is free of capitalist, and I don't believe that's what you meant).
Leave it. You're better off. nm

Taking action is vital.
I totally agree that if you are unhappy, it is so much better to take action that to wallow in it. What I don't totally understand is why so many MTs stay at companies that treat them poorly. There are good companies out there that DON'T reaquire you to spend time e-mailing, IM'ing, and doing nonproductive unpaid work. And many of those companies that say they offer a maximum of 8 cpl have decent production bonuses that can bring that to 10 cpl. Some even give raises, believe it or not. And there ARE companies that will offer more than 8 cpl to start, and have steady work to boot. Changing jobs is painful, and it can take a few moves before you find the right one. But why not try? I just don't feel that an attempt at unionizing is going to solve the problem. But hey, if you think it will, all power to you and best of luck in your efforts.
Hey! Stop posting like this or they're going to think I'm you!
You're likely to get more response by posting your
resume on the various job sites, here and elsewhere.
Little mt, we're always posting the same, looool -nm
I'm not posting contracts. You're insane!
I don't care if they don't believe me. I'm the one getting paid. What do I care if they don't believe me? I can understand the problem with others getting hired in at higher rates, but truly that is their situation, not mine.
You're real sharp but not I'm not dull enough to bite that! LMAO
ANON, you're such a loser for posting your 2 cent goodbye!

I hope they keep posting. They're showing everyone their true colors. :) nm

CindyMT: I would suggest you watch what you're posting. Unless you have proof
that you are being ripped off, which you don't, you are slandering the company. Do you really want to be doing that?
You're missing the whole point
The issue here is MONEY. They see an opportunity to make BIG BUCKS. They don't give a rat's behind about whose medical records are being transcribed by whom. Slave labor brings them BIG BUCKS. Look at the profit they're making. American clients (hospitals) will pay BIG BUCKS for the work being done by poor (I mean that in a monetary sense) Indian workers who are happy to make a few cents or is it rupees? Their standard of living is what keeps this whole thing going.
It's NOT about the medical records or the patients. It's about making American and Indian suits BIG MONEY.
I think you're missing the point.
Consider the case where 2 people apply for a job...one has been an MT for a whole year, all of it on the XXX platform. MT2 has been a Transcriptionist for 30 years...which means they've worked on selectric, wang, multimate, wp5.1, and a lot of the newer ones. A savvy company is going to hire MT2; the length of time in the field shows that they can adjust to whatever platform they're on and bring valuable experience.
To write a long-time MT off because they aren't familiar with your specific platform is shooting yourself in the foot, as those of us that have been doing this a while long long ago learned to adjust, and quickly, to whatever platform they put in front of us.
more info? I tried to leave my email address but could not..sm
Your new company sounds exciting and I am looking for a new job, either part-time or full time as my current job is not offering me enough work. I wonder if you would be kind enough to give me some details? I understood you are doing radiology. I would prefer op notes. Do you know if there are still openings and if they offer clinic or op or acute care? I have 30 years experience in all the above and more. Thanks for any help you can offer and good luck to you!
posting personal info on the net
It's gotten very scary, especially to people who are trying to get a nut case out of their life ie: victims of domestic violence, etc. I live in a large metropolitan area and our county clerk has property records on the internet. All you have to do is type a name in and see if you can find who your looking for.
Our local YWCA where I volunteer has tried to stop this, but he says that the records are available in person, always have been ..well, it takes a person a lot more effort to go down and dredge through them in person...duh. So again people, just be careful.
Info to Speed posting.
My speed is pretty much with yours. Been MTing about 16 years. When I worked in-house, line counts were posted and grafted. In a pool of 36 MTs, I was always about the middle somewhere, so I am assuming I do average. If I try to go too fast, my quality suffers and, as we all know, you can't last long in the MT field without that quality. I, too, am getting a bit older, and I do find I am slowing down even more. I have only recently started VR, but I can't even do as well with it pay-wise because it takes a tremendous amount of editing. Also, in my experience, the really good dictators are few and far between whether VR or standard transcription. When you go to VR, you will lose the advantage of any templates you may have created where repetitious dictations are a breeze. This has certainly hurt my line count.
Whatever. You're missing my entire point.
Nobody could be faster, and I have zero errors - I also QA. I score 100% on any audits, and can churn out 400 lph if I choose. Trust me, 20 years into this, you aren't as eager to churn out 400 lph/8 hours day. There is a ceiling, and many of us have reached it. Have fun!
You're both missing the point. The companies
are breaking IRS laws when they do this. Employees are provided equipment; ICs provide their own. I know mechanics, and it works the same way with them. They may choose to own their own tools out of preference or so they can do work outside their employee job, but in an employee setting they are provided.
lol you're so evil, but very good point
/
Ditto that. If my info. leaves the country, I leave the doc. - nm
.
And that point-of-view is why we're all suffering huge
They'll pay as little as people will accept, and too many of you will accept anything.
Try re-reading the original post...you're missing the point
Or they're downplaying it...At this point, do you honestly expect the truth?
LOL!!!
I wasn't posting for a job reference, was just seeking advice and info. Thanks!
xx
Is anyone familiar with Bridge Documents that has a job posting? Any info would be appreciated. TIA

Glad you you don't "call off sick" but you're missing the point. This is a pay downgrad
Nm.
you're behind on your info, PTO =10 now, and soon
up to 18 days. Most of us obviously DO have work consistently and are happy. Yes there are some problems, and yes the company is working on them. MQ still has the most to offer and MORE happy employees than any other company.
You're welcome. I applied and had saved the info. nm
xx
You're funny. Where in heck do you get your info? (sm)
They are not rapidly going to AVR or whatever you called it. Doctors at many hospitals refuse to use it, and so it's about half AVR and half transcribing. Probably will stay that way for quite awhile. You know, many of those doctors are old dogs like me. A good MT will always have work to transcribe. If you only do American accents, you might have a harder time.
the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
Any current info on Med-Scribe? They're hiring and all I can find on here is from 2004. Thx!

If you're with someone that doesn't count the demographic info or headers or footers, line cou

thanks, I'm gonna try that! sm
Hope it doesn't ruin my day!!! 
what cha gonna do if we don't???
nm
What cha gonna do?
Are you serious?
How old are you. I mean I am only 21 but you sound like youre 13 or something.
That's not gonna go over too well, I think.
She won't see it as helpful. She's upset. It can be quite catty on here but some are just too sensitive. 
I don't think I am gonna take it....
I think that is too low. I was not aware what VR payed. I have never done it and have no friends who do so I thought that was too low but needed to hear from someone who knows.
gotten, ain't, gonna--so what?
All that, and you couldn't even give OP the answer he/she was looking for. SHEESH!
OF COURSE, there are gonna be ones who act
has not been good. I should say my working experience has not been good as that is the only experience I have had. But it is what it is and that is all I can base my opinion on. However, I share my opinion with MANY MTSO and those in management, the ones that deal with these buisness people on a daily basis.
Sorry but if they are gonna slam on someone, they should at least
make sure it sounds right. It was funny though. It had me on the floor and not completely in an insulting way..JUST FUNNY.
It's gonna get worse SM
When someone posted below who cares about construction workers that pretty well summed up the problem in general. Everything is about 'me.' Our America is on its way to becoming a Third World Country. Watch the news sometime.
Yup, and it's gonna come back and
nm
wow, and i was gonna apply with them
/
Not even gonna argue, as I can tell 100% from
your dialect that you are Indian. So, you don't understand our US point of view. I do not want to work for an Indian owner, a Japanese owner, or an owner from Mars who has, in their own written and published mission statement, to eliminate the US MTs, as they are inferior to Indian MTs. Not my words, CBay's words, and I don't care if they came from Santa Claus, or Mr. Hoffmann, or Tony Soprano. I ain't gonna work for someone who wants to eliminate me and my coworkers. Buh Bye.
who ya gonna call?
Isn't it against the law for payroll checks to have a delay of over 10 days? Does anyone know who you contact for help? It's mind-boggling that you are expected to provide high-quality, reliable work and get it done...STAT...and then wait and wait for compensation.
I'm probably gonna get reamed for asking but
How precisely does one lose money doing ASR? Is the work not consistent enough to get used to the dictators?
Please, do tell. I'm about to start VR work at Transcend (on BeyondText) and I'm just wondering what I'm in for.
sure gonna give
it one heck of a shot! I think they want us to think the physicians don't have any say so either but heck if the physician's refuse to dictate there then they will see that they do have a say!
Yep, I think MDIers are gonna get it
This whole thing is right out of the MQ playbook. Get ready to get hit!
