you can join, no problem. If you write, you can join. nm

Oh, ok. Thanks. Maybe I will join you soon.

We can do even more... we have to join
To all my fellow MDI'ers, I think it is time to tighten up the bootstraps and starting thinking out of the box. Let's get together in private, put our thinking caps on, combine resources, and see what we can do for ourselves and each other. Every email will be confidential... we still have our integrity! Write to AmericanMT@yahoo.com
Are the people who join
and currently work for them kept confidential??
Can I come join you in La La Land?
Your dreamin.
Is that the same one from L&H?. Probably, knowing Teresa.

Hey can i still join the survey? nm

There is a Union for MTs to join
MTs have been able to join the National Writers Union http://www.nwu.org/nwu/ for several years, though very few have done so. Perhaps if more of us joined we might get somewhere. Worth a try anyhow, don't you think? We certainly don't have much more to lose.
I, too, am interested in knowing more about this.....
TIA
Nothing to do with knowing a specialty...SM
It's the sloppy, lazy dictators we MTs have to pick up the slack for. If you can't understand it, it doesn't matter how well you know your subject. 
i'd be interested in knowing that too
thanks
I'd be interested in knowing, too.
I'm looking for a 2nd job, and it would be nice to find something that would be hitting in between the other job when things are getting really tight.
how do you join it? When I clicked sm
on join, it just came up a message that this was private or something like that. What process do you go through to join this group?
Not knowing the specifics
I can think of a lot of reasons why, although I'm not involved in any way in this specific circumstance. If the client has become too difficult to work with- impossible turn-around times, dictators with too my individualized preferences, nit-picking (yes, they do it on the hospital end, too), and an unwillingness to pay the requested rate, I can see where it would be just as easy to not renew the contract. If the MTSO knows it has new account(s) coming on or that it has enough work for the staff it has, it could easily let a difficult account go. Much the same way some transcriptionists will take easier accounts that pay less but they can type more, I would assume MTSOs make the same choices.
I would be interested in knowing
I love Emdat
Thanks in advance
join forces
Hi, I'm a fellow MDIer and am interested in hearing from others who are interested in a private group. I am kicking around the idea of trying to start a Co-op of something of the sort, I'm looking for resources and ideas from others who might be interested in starting our own company... not me personally, but as a group creating our own company. Surely it can be done! Americanmt@yahoo.com, spread the word and I hope to hear from you!
if you don't mind not knowing what's around the corner -
and you don't know when you're next assignment is going to be, 1 month, 2 months, etc. then go ahead and apply, but there have been too many negative things about Kforce said, and I should have listened and took note.
I don't think anything is wrong with knowing you are good...
But saying companies are falling all over themselves for her to work for them - sounds like a job hopper or someone who can't be satisfied for so many companies to be falling all over themselves begging her to work. She must be applying at plenty of places, huh? It just had an extremely arrogant tone, that's all. It doesn't bother me at all that jobs are offered quite readily. I'm a good MT also and get great audit scores every time. I love where I work and have no intention of leaving, but if I did apply somewhere else and they were supposed to call me back and didn't I wouldn't start bashing the company. People are busy, and when you are trying to take care of hundreds of transcriptionists, some things tend to slip your mind. Get a grip!!
Apprecaite knowing this info. Thx. nm

OK, on the home page i am looking at, there is NO Join Us.
I'm dead serious. There is NOTHING on the site I am looking at for Join us or send a picture. www.synthescribeofamerica.com 
You could try to find out if account gone and then try to join

Link for who can and cannot join a union

how_do_i_file_a_petition_to_start_or_remove_a_union.aspx
Its all one link, but I had to split it to get it to show up. Sorry about that.
If IC's can't join EXISTING unions, then maybe
it's time for MTs to form a union that DOES include IC's, especially since they are a large part of this industry. They deserve better wages, too.
knowing the VA health system....
and what they did to me as a military widow and what the VA does to our service men and women, I would NEVER work for a VA hospital/ Our military whom are in VA hospitals, are the ones who have gone through the Wellbutrin to stop smoking trials etc -- you will have a patient who one week, his attending is 'Dr. Jones; he goes home and the next week his attending is this one -- also LOTS of ESLs and residents -- the goverment as a GS position 10 years ago only paid $15k per year -- hasnt gone up that much. JMHO
I will join you at the bottom, no jobs for me either..nm

I'm not exactly sure - feedback from those who would join an MDI forum?
I don't know that I can answer that directly. I know I would be interested in participating and (maybe) even trying to set it up... I was just trying to encourage all of us to come up with something, as I thought the original poster had a great idea. Your idea sounds like one that would work.
So the poster who got the thread started seem to want to be able to talk privately without any mgmt of MDI being able to see. But, even with a Yahoo group and using anonymous emails, really there is no way to monitor who is who. I'm not sure I would want to be the one excluding anyone anyway. The bottom line, it seems to me, that even with the most private of groups such as this, what we share still may make it out of the privacy of that group, and all would just have to be aware.
Feedback from others who would join - What kind of group would be ideal? Would you feel any more safe to share in the kind of group mentioned above?
join forces, anyone game?

MDI'ers we need to join forces
I am brand new to MTStars and can't seem to figure things out. I am floating the idea of maybe we join forces, perhaps try to form a Co-op, and maybe if we combine we could start our own company. Maybe a pipedream, but I believe it can be done. We all have resources, we all have brains, and we have been told we are the best in the business. Please help me spread the word, please contact me privately, and let's figure out a way that we can get off of MTstars, start communicating privately so that we can actually be productive. We do have options but time to do away with the anger and starting thinking out of the box. Will you guys please help me?
Time to join forces
I am a fellow MDIer. I am trying to refocus what little energy I have left in getting us organized, getting us together so that we can collectively put on our thinking caps and try to figure out our next step. I am thinking that if we can contact enough people, combine our brains and resources, maybe we will be able to do some constructive, like maybe start our own company/CO-OP. Please contact me T my private and confidential email address which I have set up exclusively for this reason. Thanks! AmericanMT@yahoo.com
Did you email the company about this? They may have no idea and appreciate knowing what is going on.

Also, knowledge of AAMT BOS, knowing formatting, being able to
transcribe bad/fast/or foreign dictators, your English grammar, spelling, and punctuationk, attention to detail, computer knowlege in many cases...plus just having the ability to test as fully as doing full-on radiology, op, ds, or whatever reports in any specialty...that would take so long orally. As much as I HATE all those test files, it really proves so much more than just a basic knowledge or your ability to look/Google things up.
Knowing that the only time work is slow is during
is wonderful and I will flex my schedule any time to keep my job at Transtech.
Issuing a check knowing that it will bounce,
is a really silly action. This equals to giving the person a tool to go to the police. If they know that the funds are not available, they should issue a post-dated check.
And I sleep well at night, knowing I have provided

I'm so glad you decided to join us, Jeannal! Welcome to Diskriter!
Glad you're having as good an experience as I've had.
do you realize how many companies outsource without the client even knowing?..sm
an extremely high number. Do you think they can get away with this..absolutely. They advertise that the are U.S. based and higher some U.S. MT's and the majority of the work goes overseas. Wake up people, it's called business. It may not be proper, but these large companies are cut throat, particularly the overseas companies. They have struck a gold mine and they know it. Sad part is, they will always find U.S. MTs to keep the company afloat. Without the U.S. MT's busting their rears to produce quality work, these companied would fail. Why can't anyone get this? Ladies (and gentlemen), do not work for any transcription company who outsources work out of the country. Otherwise, this buyout situation will continue, and before you know it, there will be virtually no large U.S. transcription companies left. Unfortunately, we will only have ourselves to blame. Don't be an enabler!
I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.
I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way! This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
What is wrong with a good MT knowing what she is worth and expecting to be compensated
:l
Join the club, I quit a few weeks ago. Good luck...nm

I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
dont misunderstand me...we didnt work knowing we wouldnt get paid
How stupid would that be? We were paid a month behind. So when the 18th came we expected our check for the previous month. So that would be one paycheck. No one willingly works for free. I know i certainly wouldnt have typed as much as i did for her - taken time away from everything/everyone else - if i KNEW she wasn't going to pay me. Seriously, I hope she rots for what she has put me and my family through. I'm not talking about a couple hundred bucks. I'm talking thousands of dollars. Yep, I'm ticked
My mom was a lab tech, so I grew up knowing about working holidays in the medical field sm
so it is no big deal to me. I do not have any children, so I have pretty much always volunteered to work the holidays so that others can be with their families. As someone pointed out, when you work at home for the holiday, you can jump off and on whenever you want, so it does not really feel so much like working. 
Sorry that you are unhappy about it, but unfortunately, people still get sick on the holidays, and part of being in the medical profession is accepting that you will work some holidays.
Hope the New Year brings you lots of things to be happy about.
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
Since it's a private group on Facebook, you have to click on "request to join group" sm
It takes about a day to be added after the request is put in.
that person go.

Since you are the person
who actually makes an offer to someone, you should have a method of following up with someone after a week or so to make sure that the new hire is up and running, especially after you have been notified that the new hire has returned all necessary paperwork. Your process sucks. period.
Cant you see that the person is already down?
Thats right kick them when they are down. Thats a great example. Get a life.
So they are the same person? nm

The only way a person would need SM
to have nice people to work for and only communicate with nice people is if they are in need of something they should have within themselves. For me, my job is just something I do for 8 hours a day and whatever they have to say to me, fine, oh well. It doesn't reflect on me whether people are snippy or rude, I just ignore it and move on in life.
It's just work, business. Not my whole life.
Yep. It also looks like this person is just
wanting to hear good things and forget anything else. Just wanting to hear what they want to hear.
