She's not being paranoid

In Reply to: OMG - are you that paranoid? - unbelievable

She's being businesslike and realistic. If the OP has good credentials and the proper education, she (or he) should not have to work for free.

Getting paranoid.
You and I are both obviously Diskriter employees, I have never posted a followup wherein when I typed the M other word a link came up, I looked at your post and the same thing happened. This needs further research, do you think it is coincidental that both of us are DR employees; not supposed to be using their great equipment, yet when we posted the M other alphabet a link came up? Gonna do a google search, I bet M other initial does own DR.
Er, maybe I was being paranoid, sorry (mm)
...
can you say paranoid?
!
are you being paranoid?
Frankly, I have found that there are patterns to the types of dictations I get throughout the day. Early morning, I get ER from overnight. Then I start getting the admit H&P's for the day, then by the end of the workday, I am getting all the DS for those who will be going home. Some of it is determined by TAT, some of it is determined by the doctors' schedules, some of it is determined by the likelihood that a certain report type will be dictated at a certain time of the day, and some of it is determined by the likelihood of what doctor dictates what kind of reports (for example, the attendings often dictate their own admissions, but often their residents dictate the DS). I don't know about you, but I can get a lot more lines from ER or the attending doing their own H&P than I can from any resident dictating a long-winded but short-lined DS (notorious paper flippers).
LOL, Some of you are so paranoid. If you
work for TT did you by any chance come from the Q, maybe that's why you sound paranoid.
You are so paranoid. If you don't like TT, why don't you

find another place to work? I'm getting tired of hearing you complain. Or is that your every day attitude?  No need to answer that. I'm not going to get in an argument with you. Not worth it.


 TT does their best for us and most of us are realists and know there are slow work times. You have to work around it. I'm very happy there. If you aren't happy, go somewhere else.


 


OMG - are you that paranoid?

The OP was willing to work for free to begin with.  If someone wanted to scam her, they wouldn't turn around and offer to pay her.  SHEEZSH--I think you're the one that needs to WHOA, HOLD ON! 


I don't want to be paranoid, but that would be
my guess too.
Sorry, but paranoid much?

I don't mean to come off really offensive, but to just assume that it's a company trying to bring you down is a little much.  Each server has its own address so it's very plausible that only one server was attacked.  It could also be that the server that crashed did not have good enough protection on it and the trojans got through the firewalls.  It could be a number of things.


To assume that it's a concerted attack from Big Brother because you have a couple hundred people talking about the idea of a union is a bit much.


 


WOW! Paranoid much?
You need to chill out. If any post should be reported it's this one, seems to me you are the one trying to stir things up.
Not as Paranoid as You Might Think..
I have wondered if people were shifted around and secondary accounts assigned based on employees becoming eligible for benefits and sign-on bonuses. I have no proof of such, but there's been some rather suspicious things done, i.e. assigning certain accounts as secondaries when they don't have enough work to support the primary MTs on the account, etc. It does make you wonder. Again, though, I can't say I have any substantial proof of that AT ALL and so it's pure conjecture on my part.
Thank U. I was feeling quite paranoid! nm

Me thinks somebody is a bit paranoid.
I've worked other places and I've never done as well as I have at TT. I doubt they pull the bull you state.

For me, I planning on being there until I retire. I think you should back up your info with FACTS, not RUMOR.
Wow, that really sounds paranoid!!! nm

I'm paranoid about not being able to get my correct
nm
Not paranoid, just careful
My friend, no one is paranoid. When someone claims 27 years of experience one might think they would know the basics, which would include something as notorious as TranSCAM. What bothered me was that anybody would post something about this scummy company that might lead some innocent newbie who (apparently like yourself) had not done her research. TranSCAM counts on this kind of gullibility. Please don't support it. If you do not know about a product or a company, please do not recommend it. It is called doing your due diligence. Have a pleasant day.
Call me paranoid, but I think this is management
Fishing around to see how many of their MTs are on this board - waiting for the emails wanting to know if the spaces thing is true.

On the other hand, maybe I'm not in the "special" group to get spaces, or maybe I'm on their list to be canned. Who knows?
This is not a racial post - are you paranoid! nm

I don't think you're paranoid at all. I live in NJ,
So glad you are doing this and am 100% behind you.  And remember, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after ya!! Bless you, Kurt!  Boy I can imagine the suits that do not want us to unify. Are you kidding? Our industry is a big $$ business to everyone but the MTs, and people have done anything, literally, for a buck.
Not necessarily paranoid conspiracy
Offshoring has not been without problems...recall several years ago a woman who was blackmailing I believe the hospital or company she worked for stating that she would post the reports on the internet if she wasn't paid a nice chunk of change. Someone else was holding the reports hostage. There were enough breaches of protocol/HIPPA (and some with a genuine desire to keep American jobs for Americans) that some hospitals would not hire companies that were not US. It doesn't take a lot of imagination that a company based in a country rife with corruption eager to get a large account might gather a stack of resumes to show an American account that these were the people who would be doing their work.

Paranoid or cynical, I'm not sure which; as to a conspiracy...heck, every business decision is a conspiracy; theory definitely, although I also postulated a stupidity theory and an innocent careless theory.
I know I'm a raging, flaming paranoid, but
do you get any sense that they can deliberately manipulate your work pool(s) so that you never quite reach $900 and grab the brass ring?  Seems to me it would not be difficult for management to do, either by over hiring or sending work overseas, or some other work flow tinkering.  That way they can keep the majority at PT status, and save a bunch of bucks on benefits (nice alliteration there - no?)
Sounding kinda paranoid.
Why are you so up in arms? Some of your comments sound like you're a caffeinated conspiracy theorist.

For instance, you think IC's billing statements will be scrutinized.

Uh, I have no problem with my bills being scrutinized. They are absolutely accurate and in keeping with my contract. Why would anybody be concerned unless they were trying to fudge the system, hmmmm?


As far as companies putting Spyware on ... pfffft. I go through a HIPPA compliance training session every year. Takes, what, 10 minutes? I sign the paper. Everybody's happy.

Mountain.

Molehill.

Learn to differentiate the difference and you'll be a much more relaxed person, IMO.
am I paranoid? (to current MDIers)
This talk about letting people go come January 1st is already worrisome, but tell me, have any of you sent a personal email to D lately and NOT gotten a reply? Just wonder if this is a clue I should be paying attention to.
Spoken like a true paranoid underachiever.
How ridiculous.

Not to sound paranoid, but I tend to agree.
They control the work pools and can make your day as easy or as hard as they like. Before I asked why I was being switched around all the time, the line count was at least achievable. Afterwards, perhaps as my punishment, it became even worse. All different account specifics, all parts of the country, thousands of different doctors. Finally gave up. I took my 6 years of acute care and went somewhere else.
Some on tech support now paranoid. I agree with, don't
xx
If you're so paranoid find another company
you type a character and leave the rest of us at Transtech alone. Thank you.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but sounds as if someone WASN'T chosen...

Is there a medicament against 'overbearing' paranoia?
I did mostly car accidents and it really made me paranoid about driving for awhile, but I sure sm
knew if there was a solid yellow line, if my lights were on, if I had my seatbelt on, etc. lol
Do not be paranoid. I'm not with Shapin. Its a small company in Illinois.
