She was talking about posts that assumed she was pregnant and looking for a job when she clearly stated that she was planning on a family in the future, and not currently pregnant.

She WAS complaining about basic answers.
A direct quote from her post above:
I can't seem to get basic answers to my questions without it being an educated guess or noneducated for that matter!
I WASN'T THE ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT NO WORK - sm
Maybe YOU need to read the posts you're responding to. I never said 1 word about low/no work, mention a company, etc. NEITHER DO I MAKE OMELETS - YOU HAVE THE WRONG POSTER!! 
I wasn't complaining. I just found the posts below sm
a bit concerning. Personally, if I do what I call power hours where I make myself just sit in the chair and focus only on typing for an hour, I can do 300 lines or more an hour, so I do not really have an issue with ExText. Of course, maybe I could be doing even more ... who knows.
I do agree that it is always best to ask the powers that be when you have an issue -- only way to get an answer.
I wasn't complaining. I am quite happy with what I make.
My point was that experience in this field means nothing as previous poster thinks it should, and you have just argued the point beautiful.
I personally could care less what others make. I am happy with my wage and that is what is important to me.
That wasn't my experience there. I wasn't on that kind of all-inclusive acct, either. nm

That's very, very basic MT! nm

I could see basic four, but all others? I don't

Basic MT course
Hi,
I have already been through a what you call a match box MT school and I feel I need more training but do not need a complete course again. Do you know any place that offer a basic course in MT that is legit?
Thanks,
MT
Basic course
MTEC has a basic course and a premier course. You can also go on their message boards and ask questions there.
Basic Course?
Medical Coding. Can you work from home. Do you have to have experience before you get a job? I know you have to have experience as an MT before you get a job.
Thanks
You listed the basic ones
Let's not forget about burping, yawning, coughing, sneezing, chewing/eating....... the list goes on.
It is basic four using Softscript. (sm)
I will have to ask about the margins. Thanks.
No, I do acute care/basic 4 ... so I don't know
about the radiology part, but give it a shot. They've gotten rid of some bad eggs as I understand it, and as long as I've been here, which is under a year, things have been fine.
This is basic medical terminology 101.
There are a lot who also do not know basic English skills. Example: (sm)
the difference between their, there, and they're. Affect, effect. Basic skills of sentence structure. Just knowing some medical words does not make you a good MT.
Acute care basic 4
Yes you can. I have to go at a slow pace because of arthritis in my hands and I still get a decent line count. Wish I had the speed I used to have, I would really be making it big!
all this to yes, yes, yes pertains to basic 4, not radiology.nm

What is the basic 4? Does it include op reports? NM
:
I wouldn't do it. One of each basic 4 types or a few clinic
s
I wonder why they keep advertising if there is no work. Are you doing the basic 4 or clinic. nm
:
Following basic grammar is nit-picky? Maybe I misunderstood.
BOS is a crock. Basic grammer/spelling all that is

Which company offers the best basic pay for Proofers.
what is best matched in industry
Sorry dear. Been at this forever..test was not basic knowledge....
Some of it was stuff you'd never come across in 20 years of doing this job, not even once. lol
That one I know :-) That is your basic rate/line count earnings sm
before any differentials, bonuses, incentive pay, etc.
I also have not received my cable reimbursement. Guess I'll have to call and ask Debbie.
I do ER and basic 4 work and make excellent money
NM
Basic word books, spellchecker, expansion software...$450/500?? nm
s
She includes ER in acute care, so I guess that would make it Basic Five :) nm

Everyone Is Complaining
even their TOP producers are losing lines now. They are going to lose a LOT of really good people with this new platform they are using. It's bad enough having to deal with the inconsiderate management they have there, but a job is a job and the money was okay. Now, we have to deal with a lousy platform, line counts cut by a third, and being the ginnie pigs. I'm just tired of it all.
Complaining that there is complaining? LOL!
nm
not complaining, asking
Every day I give basically the same blanks filled in. The dictators are easy and clear. I repeat myself constantly. Do you really think I should quit being an MT because someone doesn't pat attention to the mounds of feedback that I give? I do give extensive feedback. It sounds like you are complaining about your QA person and want to take it out on me.
And you will be the first one here complaining when you
braggarts are also the biggest complainers and also the first one to quit when their bubbles pop.
Are you complaining already?
Do you think she would have told you that it took that length of time if it did not?
Complaining
I think you should stop complaining... how many people do you know that make $20.00 an hour? Hmmm? I would be pleased as sh_t if I made $20.00 an hour for sitting here in my jammies making that kind of money. Everyday, I struggle to meet my lousy 1000 lines a day and for some reason, even after the 25 years I've done this, I can't seem to do it because I feel the company I work for is skimming money off the top. So, you see, I'm making approximately $9.25 an hour. You're making more than twice what I do. If you are looking to make a fortune in this business, you have to be the business owner and I'd never, ever, ever in this lifetime, do that again. Get a grip and be grateful.
why are you complaining?
I'm sure you'll get paid, it'll just be LATE, but it looks like you normally wouldn't mind if your check is late as long as you get paid--unless it X-Mas, of course.
How many of you that were complaining
about not getting anything from your company this year for Christmas actually did receive something now that the time has come and gone?

well I'm not complaining
Cause it is VR at 9.5 CPL. I'll take that anyday.
i am not b#))^)#g and complaining sm
about not making enough money either. You are the one that thinks you are worth so much. Do you give your job that kind of quality? If you do, you don't deserve to be in the business, much less gripe and complain about 21 buck an hour.
Putting out the word, AccuSTAT Wisconsin is hiring for Basic 4 - Ops. They have their webiste up
and now offering direct deposit. This is a great company to work for. It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin. The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children. There is plenty of work and you use Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe. The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English. I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not think of working anywhere else. Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!
The basic 4's are: history and physical, consultation, operations, discharge summaries. sm
Radiology is not one of them. Sorry, but I don't have an answer for the strictly radiology question.
I don't work for KS, but if this many MTs are complaining...
There HAS to be SOMETHING to what they say, and like another poster stated, deleting the posts from this forum does not delete it from our memories, and someone will be back on here complaining about the same or new things as long as they are not being heard by the company. If it bothers KS's Management team so much, then maybe they should listen to their MTs and treat them with the respect that they deserve. KS wouldn't be anywhere without its MTs, so why not try and make them happy. I am so glad we have a forum like this to share our good/bad experiences. You know the MTSOs can't stand it because they cannot take complete advantage of us, which is what most of the companies I have worked for tried to do to their MTs---as long as they are making their money off the sweat of our backs. It seems like KS can dish out the misery but can't take it when people start talking about it...just my opinion. Keep talking and sharing experiences, good and bad. Maybe this forum and others will force them to do right by us, especially regarding compensation. We have to work together and try to make the MT profession better.
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO NO MATTER WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT!!!
Yup, Busy. I'm not complaining, but...! NM

Is this the same MDI that everyone was complaining about no/low work
x
Then get a new job and quit complaining
Had you not been shouting, might have had more sympathy for you.
With so many complaining of having no work
A little extra work for you might mean a very short paycheck to the person who is scheduled to work those hours - ever think of that when you were awarding yourself extra work?
i don't understand what you are complaining about.
In this competition-driven market, some hospitals give their overflow work to the MTSO, some give all their work to us. You can inquire about what kind of accounts they offer when you apply for these at-home jobs. YOU have a choice of where you work!! If you don't want to work all the holidays, find a job that does not require it. Try counting your blessings -- i am sure many would love to have your situation, or would even just love to have a job!!
Who's complaining about schedule?
Some people just like to get ugly I guess. I am not complaining about my schedule, which is very flexible I might add. The company is so great they have let me change my own schedule twice. I would just like some PTO.
But I am not complaining or annoyed at all.
Live and let live.
Perhaps instead of whining and complaining
you should find a different profession? If you don't like your company and the way they treat you why not leave? You're allowing someone else to cause you grief and misery; most wouldn't take it, they would have enough sense to go elsewhere.
Complaining about VR earlier
Weren't you MDIers complaining about MDI work going to VR about 6 months ago? If it already has gone to VR then what is the problem with that VR work going to Transcend's platform for VR? I'm not a VR advocate by any stretch of the imagination but I was following the thread a few months ago that your work was already going there and I was glad to have dodged that bullet when I turned down the job with MDI-Carlotta had told me the work would NEVER go to VR but then it did. I'm sure Transcend does not want another VR platform when they already have their own. Just an observation.
