not to be redundant but i also am happy with my job at MQ
plenty of work, bonuses, bene's, etc. But on rare occasions when i have a problem and don't get a quick response to an e/mail, i call and/or send a copy of e/m to higher-up. Communication is of the essence with any job/relationship. If folks are not responsive, be more assertive.
Yes, CORRECTLY. Redundant.

I hate to be redundant, but they can make anyone's
life miserable who visits this board, whether they're affiliated with OSi or not (and I'm not)! They are serving one good purpose, though. This morning my current employer looked pretty bad; now they're looking a lot better.
<~~~~~~~~~~~~making the sign of the cross and staying as far away from this company and these "employees" as I can get!
Redundant Message -- Also stiffed by TTS
Worked for TTS for a few weeks in March, had a gut instinct to quit after that short time. They have never paid me 1 cent since March. I kept emailing the owner nice messages, thought maybe they were ticked because I quit. Apparently not. Today, after seeing these post it's sickening to see that so many other MTs have had trouble with this bunch, that this has apparently been a chronic MO for them. (I too received emails about problems with payroll and turned off IM.) And, I thought for the past months I was being singled out for some reason when I quit working for them the end of March. Had I not come to the boards today I'd have thought it was me. Have never been stiffed by a service before. Very strange feeling. And, what they demand you learn with the account specs in like 24 hours to become productive. Joke of jokes. I would just die if this was my company's reputation. I've written it off--guess they just hope people will go away and quit asking. Sadder but wiser MT in Indiana.
Good grief! Not secretive at all, just trying not to be redundant

It just seems redundant to keep asking about the low work and 15 people answer, that's all.

Sounded great, but then saw you have to
nm
Unfortunately, no, but they sounded great!
nm
Sounded like a big whiner to me.

Thank you so much!! It sounded too good to be true! :)

I apologize if I sounded rude to you
It just gets my goat when somebody seems to show a lack of professionalism and others of us work so hard to try and be the best MT we can be, and are working very hard to support our families. The attitude of working whenever I feel like it causes companies to overhire and then the reliable MTs don't have enough work. I am truly not trying to be rude to you and I do apologize if I sound that way, but your attitude is detrimental to the other MTs and also to any company that might hire you. I am sorry, but I still would never hire somebody with that kind of a work ethic.
That was a bizarre post. Sounded like someone
with a vendetta. I haven't seen anything like that at Webmedx. They should go after that poster for libel. Good company.
it sounded pretty snitty to me..sm
and it was the *adding of your stats* that made it sound like you were bragging. Your post didn't sound like it was meant to help, but to criticize and brag about what you can do. That would not instill confidence in anyone who was having a question about their proofing skills. You are lucky to have accounts where you can excel. Unfortunately that is not always the case for others. Some have to struggle to make their lines and if extensive proofing to keep from making mistakes is holding back production, just a simple answer on how she could improve that would have been sufficient. Your post sounded like pouring salt on an open wound. JMO.
Thanks, I thought she sounded familiar. I was with YOG then and now with MQ. SM
It would be so nice to work with YOG people again. I really miss that place. It was sure a lot less stressful back then!
let me rephrase...... sorry if I sounded rude
but it kind of felt like you were implying it is my own fault to not have work right now -- The actual POINT of my original post was that if they want to force us to pick a shift then we should get work during that time and NOT have to work late or all night to get it........
Um that was dumb!
I did not have to wait a year to take a vacation. I would just take it without pay. You get PAID vacation after a year....duh!
I think I'm really dumb, but can someone
explain to me how you add things to shorthand, when I open it, there are already some things there, but how do add something like sob for shortness of breath and have it save so you can use it??
');>
thats DUMB! above you say
you are at Futurenet and say work is low...
They think we are dumb
So if you take into account their low per line compensation, below industry values even though they try to sell it as otherwise, and then add in the ridiculously expensive cost of their benefits, AND then add in your cost for this type of insurance..
Per hour Id say youd be making.. minimum wage at best?
So for minimum wage, at best, they have the expectation of quality excellence when those of this caliber can make double anywhere else, andthen when they get garbage, they then dont want to be responsible for hiring it.
I will say it again
They have taken what used to be a great and professional place to work and taken it straight to the bottom.
it all sounded great.......until the C-phone part.
I really don't want to get a second phone line.
Good luck to you. Sounds like it is working well for you.
knew it sounded too good to be true...nm
knew it sounded too good to be true...nm
Agree!! Sounded too good to be true.
You do not get that kind of pay and only require 1 year experience!
Dumb question
What does "gross line" mean?
TIA
This is a dumb question but how do you
access Imail? Without going to medquist.com? I thought it was mail.medquistmail.com but something is not registering. Thanks in advance. Just can't get my fill of giddy up and let's get going emails! haha.
This might be a dumb question, but - sm
did you give a full 2 weeks' notice and work it out? If you did then they might hire you back.
This might sound dumb to you....
but what company is eScription & MedTran affiliated with? Thanks :)
YOU are not making them look dumb! They do that to themselves! nm
f
Sorry if this is a dumb question...
I've worked for only companies that do transcription from good old voice files or microcassettes. Can you explain to me what speech recognition is? And please, no mean comments about how out of touch I am! =)
This might be really dumb question, but how did you
nn
dumb question here (sm)
What in the world is E & O insurance?
The 3 times...yes 3....I was an dumb enough....sm
to work there....all QA came from India, the most ridiculous QA I had EVER experienced. It got to a point where I would NOT even pay any attention to QA that was sent to me. 
Not a dumb question at all...
Editing can be the best and the worst job you will ever have. I derived so much satisfaction from teaching and mentoring the transcriptionists. I provided excellent feedback and did my best to help them become better MTs. On the other hand, it can be aggravating to the core. Some MTs appreciate the input, thank you for it, and put it into immediate practice. Others, however, are the abusers of the system and don't care about the quality of their work and send through the same crap over and over again, knowing that the Editor will have to correct it or risk a negative QA review him/herself. There were times I felt as though it would have been easier to delete the whole report and type it from scratch rather than go line by line, correcting multiple errors in every sentence. Editing became a bad deal when the MTSOs figured out how much money they would save by paying the editors per line rather than per hour or salary. The editor was expected to perform all the same duties, often including reformatting or retyping the entire report and correcting all the repeat account specific errors, WHICH, by the way, have been explained to the same offenders over and over again. The editor earns a fraction of what the original MT does for the same report but often invests just as much time in the report. Also there is no compensation for feedback sent in e-mails. Like I said, there are days you will love it, but there are days, also, where you will sit in your chair, steaming and enraged at how you are being taken advantage of by your company and the MTs who abuse your knowledge and time.
Anyone dumb enough to pay Excalibur
deserves the lesson they are about to receive. WAKE UP! SMELL THE SCAM!
just plain dumb!
I have a couple of docs on my primary acct. who start every report with the patient's name and SS#. I can't believe an MD would be that clueless! There definitely should be some laws about those things!
Really? I thought it sounded like a good line rate.
nm
This is a dumb question but how do I access..sm
For the Record? I have never head of it and when I Googled it nothing came up. I want to check the ads there. Thanks.
Editing - dumb question here
I've never done editing, but a few questions have been going through my mind as I read about it on MTStars. Why is it less net money than transcribing? You listen to the transcription and read what is typed - do you have to fix a lot of wrong words? Do you have to type long comments to the transcriptionist? Would love to have comments on the good and bad of editing. Thanks -
Not to sound dumb, but does FN - Futurenet?
xx
Yeah, I was dumb enough to fall for that one!
nm
Sorry to hear that. I talked with Ann a few times, and it sounded like a good company. nm
this may sound dumb but what exactly is an independant contractor?
I've always been an employee
Yes I thought it sounded nice. Just hard to change but it is time. Always a little bit of anxiety
about another company and leaving what you know and sort of starting over but sometimes it is time. You know, the fat lady sang.
Oh great. I knew the whole thing sounded familiar....so, everyone is getting the runaround. You eith
Not, the I need to talk to the account managers etc. Now, I'm bummed out. I knew it was too good to be true. I wonder if there is really any work at all.
YIKES... I guess I knew it sounded to good to be true. I wonder if anyone ever gets sign-on bonuses
at any company. Maybe we should take a survey on who actually gets a sign-on bonus. How depressing is that. Now I'm bummed.
LOL! people do act like dumb shiete buckets when on conf call
:0
Current DSG'r
I have been with DSG for a little over 2 years now and have been very happy with them! I have not always been happy with my performance, but they have always been there to answer my questions, to have work for me, and to pay me ALWAYS ON TIME! I would recommend working at DSG to anyone. Now that does not mean everyone will find a perfect fit, but I have worked with a lot of other companies over the years and certainly hope that I will be retiring with DSG many years down the road!!
Current DSG'r
I have been with them for almost 2 years. I have not ran into the problems posted here. I have been on one account, and at my request put on another. They do not move me from account to account. I have never had problems with sound. Yes there is ESL doctors. Yes there are different account specs. The management team, I have found have been helpful. Pay is always on time. Any concerns I have ever had management has addressed. Work is there, but like with this field there are slow times. I have worked for other national companies and DSG is among the better companies. No company is perfect, just like no MT is perfect. You take the good with the bad.
current mt
They are great to work for....no problems at all...they pay for headers and footers so the line count to me is about the same, regarding spaces versus no spaces. I have been with them for 5+ years. If you want to stay with a company and not move from company to company, Phoenix MedCom is the company for you.
Current PMC MTs....
How are the dictators at Phoenix MedCom, particularly the ortho docs?
Thanks :)
Something current
from someone that actually works for them if possible. I've read all the archives about them, but need to know if they've changed like they say they have. Thanks.
