Guess you didn't understand it.
Seymour already works there, hence the mention of one of their clients who obviously is heavy ESL, despite the fact that the recruiter advertises no ESLs. Maybe she means that one particular account, but I can't see placing all new hires on that one account. Silly me, that's what they do with ALL new hires and that's why they're running out of work all the time until everyone quits and then all the cheerleaders come on the board talking about how much work they have. Well, duh....could it be cuz nobody's there anymore?
Oh, guess it is good I didn't then:)
nm
Guess didn't look close enough
Didn't put 2 and 2 together (Jennifer Poole and RC Transcription). So right. We deserve more than 5 cpl. What a rip! Case closed:(
didn't realize, guess I don't then...NM
nm
LOL, guess I didn't read where it said subject (sm)
See, I'm just too dang stressed. Oh well, just don't sell my address, I get enough spam as it is and never read it.
True - why didn't I think of that? So I guess that means

Guess the moderators didn't like it for some reason.
And only the original poster would have gotten the e-mail stating that their post had been removed.
I had a post flushed once. I wasn't happy about it. But it's their board, their rules, their say-so.
I actually put a message on the moderator board...guess they didn't see it yet (NM)
I didn't know that. At TransTech we have Stedmans, so I guess they provide it.

I guess I was confused...didn't realize poster...
was referring to hourly wages. Whenever I worked an hourly job, lunches were not paid--had to punch in and out.. The 15-minute breaks were paid though...didn't have to punch the ol' card for those.
I just get rubbed raw at the hourly thing because the average at-home transcription gig pays on production and to mandate that someone has to be sitting in front of their monitor from such and such a time or else is just very disheartening. We know we have to work our buttinski's off or we bring home a crappy paycheck and we recognize TATs that have to be met...treat us like the professionals we are and we'll all be happy, know what I'm sayin?
I thought the deductible was 500 vs 1000 (gold vs silver) but I guess I better go check! sm
As for policy levels, yes, you can get coverage as a single; as a couple; and self / family, with concurrent cost changes. Dental is great too.
Now, where did I put a copy of my BCBS plan... hmmm!
Double check - are you sure they didn't say

FUNNY - BUT YOU DIDN'T CHECK
http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/69417.html
Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago. Depends on current recruiters, I guess.
Thank you. I went to Walmart today, and guess what, they had one phone and it didn't work!. Go
NM
I didn't get paid, but work as been so low, my check won't be much anyway. :( nm
I didn't HEAR of it being over $500 each month..I see it taken out of my check every 2 weeks..(sm
$254 each pay period. I honestly hope you're right that the final paperwork was signed last Friday because I had decided to have it discontinued after the March 15 paycheck and either look on my own or go without coverage for a while until I find a more reasonable plan. The insurance itself is great but too high. I can't imagine how you are paying only $184 per month and I have been paying over $500 since December 2006 for single coverage!
apparently didn't work so well, that check she sent bounced! DMF!

It's the same way in urban areas, too.
Don't let the previous poster kid you. I worked in-house at a Trauma Center. Despite what some of the sanctimonious MTs and MTSOs would have you believe, there are not 24/7 staffing of entire hospitals. After about 7 o'clock at night, weekends, and holidays, there is no routine outpatient care, no routine surgeries, etc. Needs are filled on an emergent basis by ON-CALL personnel, who then come to work. Also of note, the same ON-CALL people get paid for the inconvenience of being ready to work, whether they do or not. What MTSOs do that?
Does it seem that work has decreased in many areas since
MQ did their not-so-smart illegal billing? This probably should be on the MQ Board but I feel what they did may be affecting a lot of us. Hospitals and other accounts used to have so much work we didn't know what to do with it. Now, it seems more work is being done on site or in-house. I can't help but wonder if the trust is all but gone due to what happened with MQ. I may be wrong, but it sure seems that way.
Do you get the impression this person is answering herself in some areas?
I know I do.
..NM up there. Lists aren't always in high traffic areas
s
Again, if you think Transcend is state of the art in the areas of sound quality and/or platform,
then you have not used high quality equipment before! There is MUCH more sophisticated equipment out there now, even at smaller MTSOs. Even Larry himself said they are "working diligently" on improving the sound quality. Perhaps you should let Larry know that the sound quality is WONDERFUL - he must be mistaken and misinterpreted all the "MT feedback on poor sound quality"...Who do you think you're fooling???
Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're
s
Does background check include credit check?
"You can check my credit if I can check yours"
x
I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.
Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm
She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).
That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
She didn't say she didn't have a family. A family isn't just kids. sm
She also said she didn't have kids. Why do you think you're so much better BECAUSE you have kids? I am so sick of that attitude. I don't have kids, never wanted them, but have been discriminated against in jobs because of it. Everyone figured since I had no kids I could work all the time. I said NO! Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have a life or that my life is not important. 
BTW I work part time too.
Guess you are not doing your job right then.....
s
My guess...
I may be wrong but my guess is that this is CorT. I have been with them only 4 months but I have many MT sisters who have been with them longer and love it.
I guess Everyone Else....
Since no responses, I guess I am the only MT who works for a national that charges for templates but doesn't tell you upfront or put it in a contract....oh well....time for another company!!!
I guess when you look at it that way...
x
I guess it was just me...
but it came off as sounding like the stereotype of slaves on the "plantation" - it just didn't sit right with me...
You are in the know, but guess what
SO AM I. Spaces my XXX. Maybe you but not all of us for sure. Pay on time. Come on, talk about not telling the truth. Last couple of times maybe, but until everyone started screaming on here came whenever.
Guess what... sm
I am not management and they are a wonderful company. I have heard and read bad things yet I have worked there for quite some time and I have never seen any of what you say. They are nice people and they would not fire someone for being sick or family emergency. There has to be more to that story. TH rocks!
Of course I don't guess!!!!!!!!!!!
No, there's no guessing medical transcription. These dictators are clear as a bell!! A wonderful company to work for.
I guess everyone has a different
I'm with DK and have never been happier. I have no trouble doing over 1800 lines in an 8 hour shift on the CTS platform. I will say though that I work on mainly one account (that helps some). 
Did they just guess?
nm
I guess both.
zz
guess that's right
I went back to the policies at the top of the page and didn't see anything about naming names, but I'm pretty sure the moderator has asked us not to do this and yes, I was referring to her name, not yours. I guess we're certainly free to use our own, but am pretty sure that at one time we were told not to mention names. Guess I was wrong or it was changed. Thanks.
my guess is because not enough MTs take this job serious enough.
Let's put it this way, every time I turn around I hear MTs saying they want to be there for their kids (nothing wrong with that) but when I was raising my kids, I worked outside the home and if they had a play at school I could not get off to go. The MTs of today want to do it all with their kids and think they can work but the fact is in the real world they would not be able to do that and that is not the real way to treat this job SO COMPANIES HAVE TO COVER THEIR TUSH. There are always going to be those who treat this like a real job but from what I am seeing the majority of the MTs nowadays who are younger just want to work the job in around their life and that just cannot be done and have a company be successful SO companies have to overhire to cover themselves. If they had people who treated this more like a real job, all that overhiring would not be necessary. All of us MTs who take our job seriously have suffered because of this new attitude.
You guess right..(nm)
.
I guess they are still around, but they were the
absolute worst company to work for. Be wary with them is all I will say.
Thanks all..... I guess it is
 better to know the devil than to get surprised again. I sure do appreciate this input. I will simply put on the person who is talking with me. She is supposed to call today to set me up. It seemed awful pushy and fast to me. You are, indeed, jewels!!!
Thanks. I guess I am one. lol

I guess it's
anybody's guess!
I guess I have to try this again.......nm
First of all .I have to correct this misconception that Medware is OUTSOURCING MORE now than before.. as far as I know Merit always did a considerable amount of reviewing which wsa typed by India..on the Dictaphone side there were maybe 100 to 300 files edited from India MTs..each day up until about 1-2 monhts ago when they stopped sending them to India altogehter for some reason.... and several editors got moved around in their jobs... by all means I am not defending Medware..whatever their motive i doubt it is a positive one for anyone but themselves.. their high management is acting out of greed, and their actions through all of this were of an incredible lack of any regard for their employees.. and an even greater measure of ignorance for what was being accmoplished in these positions they eliminated. I felt that my job was, or at least my goal.was to help the MTs any way I could to do an amount of work every day that many times seemed out of reach to me, on a system that continually fails them... AT A higher than standard level of quality.... so much of the work they do is not even considered time worked which is one more act of greed I am baffled at how Medware has gotten away with...the leads did a lot to support the MTs..helping them to more readily pump out the work expected of them..in several ways..which made things better for so many people.. and that is precisely why our jobs were not considered important enough to keep...
The point is.. they are NOT outsourcing more at this point.. but less.. what their plans are is another story... but I think in this time especially when people like this are hiding behind lies to their employees.... it is important for those of us with higher standards to keep what is truth in perspective. As far as the email sent out to all the employees by an AAMT person...that was a report that she was required to prepare and hand in .. and I would bet my life . her sending that to everyone was a TOTAL mistake and one she regrets and will for much time to come.. but I have no reason to think..(and I do not know her) personally...that she is being malicious or working toward the demise of all American MTs.. Outsourcing to India is extremely widespread and not just in our field... and it has been common knowdlege that Medware outsources as far as I know... just like half the other national companies are known to be doing... I certainly don't think at this point we can say that everyone who works for a cmopany who outsources ...is supporting that.. nor accommodating it..It is an unfortuante part of this industry whether we want it or not..put there by greedy companies wanting to get more for much much less..I certainly do not support that.. but to say that we are losing our jobs because of INDIA... or that anyone who works for companies who hire them are supporting misplacing our own people... is not true... this is happening through those who are greedy and want to pay less and willingly sacrifice quality...the high management of these companies.. who most times know very very little about medical transcription.. and are focused on what will bring them an extra buck.... focus your resentment on them.. write to them.. but the rest of us need to stick together and can only become like them when we turn on each other...
I get so frustrated editing their work.. when I realize that what they type in one report would be enough to have me fired.. yet I must continually correct their same mistakes.. and the ridiculous things they make up when they have no clue.. You are right.. they are not qualified nor anywhere near proficient.. but they obviously have enough skills for the low life pepole at the top of half these companies to hire them anyway... and get rid of credible jobs like Medware did... These India people are hungry .. and I would do the same to feed my family.. so I cannot blame them... but I despise those who are willing to use the level of desperation and unfortunate lifestyle of these people for their own personal gain...which is just what these companies did and do .. which started all of this and remains responsible for it.. no on else.....
I guess she is still looking
I actually enjoyed that one, it certainly was different than the mundane typical resume I get. I thought it showed individuality and at least some creativity. I didn't hire her because she didn't have the required equipment/program, but the resume I really liked.
