That bit about answering the IM's is especially amusing since
we are told ALL the time to use it for emergencies only. Guess you have a lot of those??
Well, whether you find it amusing or not
I don't see what is so amusing about it. It's simply true. I can only guess that you haven't experienced that or you wouldn't see it as so amusing. I know a handful of other MTs who get the same treatment I get; they roll out the red carpet it seems. I'm sure that amuses you too.  Don't know how else to say it, though; that's what I have experienced.
And by the way, I didn't bash DSG. I simply stated my experience with them, as I have seen others say THEY never got a call back either. I dunno, when you have an MT on the line who has many years of experience, I would think it wouldn't slip your mind to call them back!
And no, I am not interested in DSG any longer. I had heard that they paid well and I was interested in speaking with them, but I am busy right now with two accounts of my own plus the small national I work for, and more and more I realize that that small national I am with is the place I want to be (aside from my own accounts).
what I found most amusing was
>>>Pay is not negotionable
I wonder what this MTSO would say to a client that told them the same thing?
They're just SO TRANSPARENT! At first it was amusing
Dear OSI,
You are way past the stage of damage control with this board. Just give it up and post elsewhere to drum up employees for you to abuse and be dishonest with.
Thank you.
Very amusing! I had never heard of them until 2 wks ago today sm
and I can tell you the last thing I would do is approach a friend to hire me. That is unprofessional!
I find your post amusing
Why in the world if someone posts on here speaking lovingly of VR, does that automatically mean they are not doing the same job as you and I (transcription)? I worked for years and years straight typing and several times I had people come into the office at the hospital where I worked and would seek me out wanting to watch me type because I typed so fast. To assume that anyone loving only is slow is a total myth and all in their minds. I type 130 or more an hour. I did not ask to go to VR and was really upset when told the hospital where working was going to that. I had worked for the hospital 13 years when VR came along for us. I wanted to stay with the same hospital and dictators. After trained on VR, then came the outsourcing for our department. Well by this time I was up in age, middle 50s and frankly I did not want to hit the pavement trying to find another job. I knew nothing about MTSOs or the like because had always in my MTing years just worked in hospitals doing this type of work. I now am going into my 19th year working still for the same hospital still in the same town, the only difference is my employer is located thousands of miles away. I love VR because I make a good salary, still fast (get some occasional straight because there are interns that dictate from the hospital) but I stayed with VR because of the above reasons. Believe me, not everyone who loves has to be an owner. Never an owner and do not care for a headache like that. I for one second do not doubt the person's typing speed. In the 80s I made almost $70,000 for the year, not bad for a slow typist, huh?
Even if it is amusing to you, these are valid business...
expenses that the MT companies are not having to pay. A company with 300 MTs working at home forgoes having to buy or lease a facility, provide utilities, provide insurance for the facility, provide basic supplies such as cleaning supplies or toiletries, provide supervision 24/7, and and provide office supplies such as desks and chairs.
While there are still companies who provide equpipment, all equpiment downtime is absorbed by the MT where in an office setting, it is unlikely it would be. There are also many MT companies who do not provide equipment, software, footpedals, or cable reimbursement. I am sure everyone is aware that this might be provided for you, but it is usually with a decreased line rate.
To quote your obvious enjoyment of this other post, don't you have to eat anyway? Don't you have to wear clothes anyway?
I found your post VERY amusing, thanks for the laughs - sm
it's been a long, long week and I needed some humor just about now.
THANK YOU!!! 
I just find it amusing when MTs claim to assist others
If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it.
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#
x
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?
.
This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

This is the Company Board. You should have posted on tech board. nm

x
I can't give you the name of the message board, but it is not a free message board (HINT). There
Monitor, I hope this post is okay.
You already have your own board. Now you want a board for the ones who leave??
nm
Never Not on this board.
whee
I'm on this board again because I keep
I've been donig this for 10 years and can't remember running out this time of the year. Is anyone else slow.
Sorry, this should have been on the MQ board. nm

probably more for another board, but...
In response to the posts about Christmas, I remember the good old days when the Jewish radiologist I worked for took the whole staff out for a big Christmas dinner and gave us all generous bonuses. We in turn gave him and his wife Hanukkah gifts. It's called mutual respect and being big enough to accept and respect each others' differences without taking away anyone's right to celebrate according to their own beliefs.
Where is the MQ board? (SM)
See the links to specialty boards to the left. Medquist is the 4th link from the top.

TT's ads all over job board!!!

Look on the job board
someone on this board once said that they (sm)
give you a line raise after you are taken off 100% QA. I was never told that and did not get it.
Board changes (SM)
We have condensed the number of board forums to reduce the confusion on where to post what topics.
You can view archives of any of the removed forums by clicking on the Home button at the bottom left and then scrolling to the end of the web page.
If your topic does not have a specific board currently, the Main board will accommodate it.
Thank you.

there was a job on the other board sm
that was paying 7 cpl for MT and part time supervisor. I don't think so.
I was just on the La. board looking for La. MTs.
I never see any postings from MTs of Louisiana and when I asked a question concerning LA MTs I would never get an answer. What part of Louisiana are you located. Do you work as an IC or employee or for a hospital? I have been trying to get an estimate on what Louisiana MTs are paid as I think the amount that I was told by the hospital was too low.
If it is the one from the Job board
Then that is Terry and they are out of St. Louis MO. I currently work for them. Good company to work for. Terry is very enthusiastic about MT. I enjoy the accounts, very low ESL if that is a selling point for you. We also have always had plenty of work and if ever I've run out I just let Terry know and she hooks me up with another account to fill my time.
HTH.
MQ has their own board because they are the
BIGGEST MTSO. Spheris will not allow employees to post anywhere anytime anything about them. Spheris joined up with Indian forces long, long ago in a HUGE volume. I have even read articles from Indian papers and Spheris, with Spheris wanting to reduce its US workload by half at least in order to use Indian labor. I have heard Spheris pay per line is very low. Not putting MQ up on a pedestal. I have worked for both, and Spheris is evil #1, though they keep a very low secretive profile.
I just saw on the job board
@ mtjobs.com QDPRN allows the choice of Word or Wordperfect also. So there seems to be companies out there still using Word.
Could you please tell me how to look at this board?
//
there were some on this board
when FN changed your pay from per report to per line (I think that is what they did). Those posts would be further down, around the date you were switched. If you do a search, you should be able to bring them up and then you can email the posters if you want.
Is this the info you are looking for?
Isn't that what this board is for?
I do agree with the above post - the Pro-KS people just haven't had a bad experience yet - but that doesn't mean it won't happen, they just won't be prepared when it does. Those of us who had bad or miserable experiences with KS should not be ridiculed for speaking our opinion or telling our stories. KS has had a clear-free ride on this board for a long time and it was about time for someone to start the rant on them that has happened today. They could not hide behind a gleeming reputation forever and get away with it. I am so happy that I beat them to the punch, as I described in a previous post - and now I enjoy working for another company that has been bashed on this board off and on for a long time, but I have no complaints. I have plenty of work and good lead people. Not everything is perfect, but what job is perfect. And, as with KS, I always try to stay a step ahead - and watch for signs that things are going awry. It pays off in the long run.
But is job board
Not for job ads? Seems they are advertising for business, not MTs.
because this is a board where MTs
voice their fears and concerns. DAAAAAAA
TT board
I meant, what is it you know?
It's the second ad down on the job board
I see it's from October, so I don't know if they are hiring right now or not. Haven't heard.
Job Board
Anyone know anything about Silent Type??
I don't think it is a TT board, per se (sm)
I think a TT employee started it. The company knows about it but I don't think they are involved in it. I tried getting on it, but I couldn't figure out how, something about a Yahoo group password and then enabling pop ups, or some such foolery, anyway I'm not that computer savvy, so I gave up.
job board
How does one get to be job board to post a resume? Am looking for companies that work for very small facilities, 50 beds or less.
MQ has their own board. You'd probably have
more success there. Sounds like there are lots of people ready to jump ship judging by the posts here the last couple of days.
With this board, they don't need
xxx
TT board
I don't know if I am allowed to say it here, but yes, they do. E-mail me for info.
IMT job on job board....sm
This is a company based in India. This Chloe person.
Get off our board!
We do not need such nasty comments on our board! I love being and MT and find it quite interesting so go find something/someone else to bash and get out of here!
Here's the ad, it's still there on the board...sm
The ad is still posted on the jobs board just a little bit down the list by now. Here it is:
