If you are serious about the belittle part, report it. My mentor was soooo nice. (sm)
Report feedback very prompt and helpful, not demeaning in any way. Did the required number of reports to be monitored, got above the 98% and then received congratulation E-mails for doing so from my mentor and STM.
Good manners and friendly attitude are a BIG part of the company. If this person was truly rude or unhelpful, please let HR and/or your assigned STM know.
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

Very nice place - sm
A bit disorganized when I was there but worthwhile to work for. Super nice lady and understanding. Really work with you and what you can/want to do, how much, etc. I would go back in an instant if need be.
Looking for a nice place
I had nearly the same experience with Zylomed as you did. Poor management that wasted my time. Hang in there. There ARE good jobs out there (I found mine with a small company--yes, those do exist). It seems that Zylomed has a track record with other MTs of not having its sugar together. Not for me.
Yep. Me too. Nice people, great place to work!

Proscript is a great place. Nice QA people. nm

Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.

Is it a nice place to work and did you have work all the time. nm

Then retire.

They need to have Deb retire completely
and have no contact with anyone they put in her place. She hates the world and passes her personal dislikes and vendettas down to everyone else. She has no management skills, no people skills, and operates like she has a mixmaster in her hands at all times.
Well I'm not worried. I'm going to retire at 50
so only have 5 more years to go. I can't see VR being a threat, at least not on my account. I do all Ops, mostly ESL mumblers. My hospitals are so particular about every little thing that they'd never accept the work that VR turns out. IF It should go to VR in the next 5 years, someone still needs to proof it and by then my wrists will surely need a rest and I could do twice the lines a day that I could typing.
Lucky you! Wish I could retire!
You know, it occurred for me to retire to one
of these off-shore places. Keep my dual citizenship. Live large on a tropical island, continue doing transcription and get the good work. Seriously. I'd make so much more over there for the cost of living and then, I could finally make ends meet...
What do you say, a bunch of us can infiltrate these places in the offices on the other islands, and then we'd have USA Transcriptionist as the offshore labor? No? Hmmm. Just a thought. LOL.
I am going to retire in four years
and go around the world. I have always wanted to take six months and go to every country I have wanted to see and so I will.
I'd go there, sue their dingies and retire.. NM

You are soooo right!. sm
Every time I have called I have gotten a total attitude from them as if I am ruining their day by calling. It's their darn job to help me so get over it!!! I DREAD calling them.
Maybe there's a "Home For Senior MT's" we can retire to! nm
Because I retire in 7 months - WHOPPEEE!
And, really, spewing venom everywhere?
To quote JPJ - I have not yet begun to spew.
Yoo hoo! Black Swan! I'm 60 yrs old. I just want to retire.

Oh, horse poop, anyone can retire
I can retire, no big deal about that. Stated the facts, she is retired and she has come here to gab. I don't think she is particularly lucky. I am the age of retirement but choose to work because I want to make double the money. Don'cha think that is smart? I also don't have to worry about working, just do because I want to.
Sigh. I had not planned to retire for
probably another 10-15 years, if my wrists hold out that long, and had fully intended/hoped to have MDI be my last MTSO. I have waded through a lot of frogs before finding my proverbial prince in the MT world and had hoped to finish out my career here. Now I'm just utterly disheartened by this recent turn of events. I'm looking into finishing my degree (wanted to do that anyway) and seeing what my options are after that, may have to get out of the profession altogether. It's depressing, as it's a job I love that keeps me challenged on a daily basis. I just have no desire to start anew with another company.
Well, I am soooo happy to see that I am not the
thought, huh???????? I'm the one who responded about getting an 86 on it. I really felt badly about the whole thing, especially since it was the VERY FIRST MT test I took straight out of school. But now I see others think it's ridiculous as well. You should have seen their snotty email to me. We require a minimum of 3 years current hospital MT experience for consideration of an at-home position. Thank you for your interest. That's it, nothing else. Why in the heck didn't they just say that to begin with? I never would have bothered taking the darn thing! Plus, there are those out there with 20 years of experience who can't pass that rotten test. Then, too, there are companies who don't even respond at all. So I guess I should consider myself lucky that Mr. Snot responded at all. 
Me too! Love my job soooo much! nm

Well if it was soooo horrible...
Why didn't they say that?? I only received three or four corrections on it and this was on an ESL speaking doctor, so for a first-time run at it I don't see that as horrible. I type for a large 300-bed acute care hospital and also do IC work for a brain and spine trauma center and my QA is 98%++. As far as this being a test, this was an actual report that was pulled off the system to type. This was not something dictated from a year ago, it was just dictated. When I applied to them there was no testing, no phone interviews or anything. Basically, I received an email stating they could use me on this account and then I was set up. From where I come from you train your people so that there is no confusion on how a typed report should look since essentially they are a legal document and everything needs to be in order. You can say all you want, but I think this company lacks PR and to me that is as important as how much a company will pay. I'll just keep my own accounts and be happy. I don't have any complaints from them, only happy referrals to other offices.
I am soooo the opposite
If I were making this posting, I would be asking if anybody knew who made a 'clicky' keyboard, because to my ear, they're all too quiet. I need to be able to 'hear' what my fingers are doing, which may make sense to some of the people on here. I don't know if it's some kind of subconscious thing or what, like instantaneous letter counting or something, but I can almost 'hear' a typo and God only knows what I would be typing if I didn't get that immediate feedback. I just turn up my volume and, if it's really tough, type really gently through the bad section (and hopefully it's just a sentence or so).

But in answer to your question, it seems to me that a lot of the black Microsoft keyboards are pretty darn quiet, both the straight and ergonomic ones.
well said and soooo true NM

soooo true....
As if our pay isn't low enough. Cut me a break! If we don't smarten up and start saying no to these low-paying jobs, it will never end; it will just keep getting worse and worse.
Soooo many people have left!
I know that at least 20 or so people quit around the same time I did! Even though it is super annoying, it is sometimes funny to read their e-mails when they are panicking because they don't have enough people.
I soooo feel your pain!
and it makes me angry too. I have done this since 1980 and never had a raise. As a matter of fact, I used to make more!! Everybody wants to do medical transcription and I get asked about it all the time. I tell them NOOOOOO, you do NOT want to do this. The ads out there make it sound like you can make so much money, and while as a good Transcriptionist you CAN make better than average money, it never goes past that point. Working at home is not all it is cracked up to be. I only did it because I wanted to be home with my kids. Now I am sorry to be stuck in this rut.
She is soooo anal....find something better..nm
xxxxx
Linda, you are soooo right, when I was younger and dumber....sm
 I was sooo afraid of using shortcuts, I watched the screen like a hawk and typed everything verbatim and screwed myself out of so much money! I wondered what the secret was to all those MTs who would chat up a storm, and till make a higher line count than me, and they had less experience....They used their shortcuts/expanders for everything, and once I learned this and worked on mine, my line count zoomed and I consistently made high incentive pay and bonus....don't underestimate this tool. Thanks for bringing this up, Linda! 
Soooo...if those WITH lots of experience are being offered

These smileys crack me up! They are soooo funny! nm

soooo, you are posting anonymous posts to your own
posts now??? How childish. Besides that, I did not see any copyright mark on the eye rolling thing, and I was not responding to YOU, but to someone else. I thought you were *bored* and had moved on. Apparently not because you always have to have the last word about anything. I guess that makes you feel that your are always right, as well as a people abuser. LOL.
Not me. I hope there is a special place reserved for them in a very hot place.

Ditto that! Psych is soooo boring. Feel bad for people and their many problems, but not
s
Very true, really long weekends at times, but no real vacation in 7 years.I'll travel when retire
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm
xx
I second that. Amphion is nice, nice, nice
Love this company - want to retire with this company...sm
Been with them for nearly 2 years now and absolutely love them. I make my living with them - I don't do this for fun money. I think the dictators are pretty decent - you will always have your good and bad ones. You just have to get used to them. I love the account I am on - been with the same one since I started. They are a VERY fair company to work for.
that's nice. have a nice weekend.

Nice post, thank you and have a nice day. nm
.
No - one place is the same as the next.
nm
Don't use yours all in one place!!!!!
SPREAD the joy!!
Me neither. Bad place IMO
nm
I think so, from the second place.

Bad Place!!
If you like to get paid for your work, then I would suggest not working for her!! She still owes me quite a bit of money, the pay is ALWAYS late and not always correct. She is also extremely moody and will take everything out on you if she's having a bad day. She says that her VR is really good, but I couldn't make much with it, and usually ended up typing the reports over for 6 cents/line.
Don't know why they ask in the first place if they
aren't going to take into the consideration what people have to say. There have been a few others that did the same thing and came back here to post how sorry they were they didn't listen to the negative posts.
