Most company web sites have testimonials from LOTS of employees, not just one. sm
Kind of makes you think, doesn't it? They just use that one tired rave review of yours.
As far as not having a problem with you being gone -- you're an IC! You're SUPPOSED to be able to be gone when you need to be. It is another place that doesn't seem to know the meaning of the idea of being an IC, although that is par for the course nowadays and I really cannot point them out as being the only one who does that.
It would seem best to let the CardioScribes thread die, but you had to bring it to the foreground again. 
Is it ok to post fun messages?
I have a fun question ask everyone: what (and yes I am saying what not who we don't want names) What was the worst doctor you had to type for? I have typed for doctors from Bolivia, Portugal, and Czech all with English as their second language.. I could do them just fine after I figured out the basics. The worst doctor I ever typed for was from Texas. WOW could that man garble a sentence and fast - oh my gosh he talked fast. English was his first and only language.
Please see my post "Reporting Messages" above. (NM)

Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
Spheris employees
What kind of insurance premiums could I expect to pay for their insurance? What about deductibles?
Any other bennie info like bonuses and stuff? I see their ad has longevity bonus. What is that?
Thanks.
So what about the poster above being instructed by the MTSO,
the poster's employer, to type everything as the doctor says it, even if it the grammar is improper or the sentences don't make sense?
In this case the MT's job IS to create a low quality document. According to the MTSO, the poster would not be doing the job correctly if the poster was creating a quality document.
What are this poster's options? Is it this poster's fault when you go read the record, and it is incomprehensible? Should this poster quit their job because they are following the dictates of the MTSO and hospital?
Again, why are the MTSOs/hospitals creating this environment not the target of your venom but the individual MTs?
Any current Spheris employees here?
1. Does Spheris have speech-recognition or editing work?
2. Can you do just SR or is it a mix of MT and SR?
3. Do they pay flat rates for SR (what range, please) or a percentage of your MT?
Thanks
Does Spheris have PT status for employees?
I am FT but want to go PT and keep insurance if that is a possibility. Anyone know?
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about
their proprietary software and how it is to work with?
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about...
In response to Dana, my supervisor doesn't answer ANY e-mail I send her so not sure how flexibility would work in that regard. My accounts with SR are absolutely awful; make changes pretty much throughout the entire report. It is nice to hear, though, that someone actually does well with this company. I have tried to find positives and I have yet to find one thing I can say I like about this company. It is a job, though, until I can find better....
Any Spheris employees having difficulty with their email? NM
Any Spheris employees get paper checks?
Just had my direct deposit changed to a paper check. Since payday is tomorrow, am wondering how long it will take to get my check--I am only two states away from HQ. Thanks!
Any Spheris employees get paper checks
Wow, I was expecting it Monday. That's good to hear!
Any Spheris employees know if you can negotiate for less than 20 hours PT? (sm)
Getting too old to do a fully 60 hours per week and was hoping to find employee status rather than IC to fit the bill here for less than 20 PT hours a week.
Saw the add for the SoCAL account and was intrigued. Used to do a large west coast account, perhaps this one came from MQ to them? Hope, hope,
The people I was instructed to call take days to answer. nm

Any Spheris employees notice a drop in PTO time? SM
Before we got 4 PTO hours a paycheck, now is seems to be 3.38. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.
To any Spheris employees, I quit in August and would like a copy SM
of my YTD earnings. I have called HR but they never return my call. I forgot how to access the online ADP. Can anyone give me a phone number to call, payroll number or something so I can call and get a copy of my earnings? Thanks.
You missed something in my post. I was not talking about ICs only employees. nm

Anyone is free to post, not just Axolotl employees
so you don't know who is posting.
Acusis employees should probably read this post
And pay heed...As I recall, Jasper was the one to give his/her fellow MTs a heads up about the pay cuts. Although met with denial at the time, his/her post did prove to be true just a couple of weeks later.
If I worked for Acusis, I'd probably give very serious contemplation to this post and indeed start polishing up my resume.
Good luck to my fellow MTs at Acusis. From Jasper's post, it indeed sounds like cuts of another nature are in your near future.
I have deleted one of your posts. Do not post names of employees on this board. Thank you. nm

We can't name other sites here for some reason, but ...
It's the big well-known site where just medical transcription jobs are listed. If you do a search under Google for medical transcription jobs it should come up as the first site -- it did for me.
Good Luck!!
I like it! Most sites having to do with career changes - sm
seem to be geared to high-powered professional types, or computer geniuses. We're in such a NICHE, (or is that just a nice word for 'RUT'?), and our skills are specialized. Also, quite a few of us have been doing this for 20 or 30 years, and have specific problems with changing careers because we concentrated all our energies into MT. I, myself, lack the BA Degree so many places seem to want, even for lower-paying jobs. I only got as far as an AA Degree, and it's in Art. Totally useless. So, currently looking not too far down the road to my 60s, the thought of going back to school (which for me would mean all the way back to high school math, chemistry, etc.), just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Still, I have to eat..........
I think they have their sites set higher. See msg.
Our goal is to steadily increase offshore volume although to the extent that our
revenue grows rapidly it could certainly be a challenge to increase the
percentage of our total volume that we’re processing offshore
I found the above from the lengthy meeting notes from July 29 of this year. It is at the top paragraph of page 6. Transcend wants to offshore. There's no stopping them.
Put about 20 resumes out on different MT job sites
Waited for someone to contact me and they did. It will happen eventually. You need to be specific with what you want and don't want. It's an everyday chore until you get the offer that best suits you.
Both job sites are free postings I believeo
Frankly it is doubtful that MT will even seen the post. She was posting June 15.
Check the hospital web sites. Most have their job openings on line now. nm

what happened to the I Need To Leave Spheris post

Google for hospitals in a radius around you and then hit their web sites. Most places have employ

Someone crashed 1 of USMLSU's hosting servers, but we have 3 backup sites :)
There are people that definitely feel threatened by this show of solidarity and the discord with reason.
Over the weekend one of the hosting company servers used by the Initiative (donated server space, bandwidth and email services to us) was hit with a SYN flood. The hosting company was rendered helpless for a few hours, because the attackers used lots of different IP addresses, but we have 3 other backup sites because we anticipated something like this.
They are afraid because we are all agreeing on many things that are wrong with our chosen industry. They are afraid because they have mistreated and cheated many of us, and if we are not at each other's throats they are no longer in control of our futures.
I have seen more intelligent, informed posts on this board in the past month than ever in my many years of visiting this site. I have faith in our joined strength and do believe that we are making a difference.
Why else would a server hosting company have only ONE server attacked this weekend - the server that housed one of our 4 sites.
The owners of WebHostPad are livid and bound and determined to prosecute the attackers. We have angered some powers that be to the point that they are willing to destroy a local business to stop us?
Nah. I don't think so.
Spheris --sending out recruitment post cards?
Any one else get these things? Don't they offshore? I could have swore I saw some things on here about them running out of work.
Just wondering
See messages below
Someone just asked about Task. There are a few replies below. I was one of them who got interviewed, but as soon as she got on the phone with me she wanted more of a time committment. I can tell you they're lookin for someone to give at least 20-40 hours per week. Good luck.
You can tell these messages
are from the same person, and obviously not a recruiter. Just someone looking for something to do. A recruiter is way too busy to monitor this board and make these replies. Just my $.02.
Reporting messages. (SM)
Please do not report messages to be removed simply because you disagree with them. This is a public forum. Anyone can post here. If you disagree with a post, simply look past it. When you post here, everyone is entitled to reply to your entry.
Now, if a post violates posting policy, that is completely different and we want to edit or delete those.
However, you should focus on obtaining the information/discussions you want from the forum and ignore those who disagree with you.
If you want or need to discuss a situation you are encountering, please e-mail me and we will see what we can do to resolve the situation.
IMPORTANT: If you make a post and want to retract it, please do not use the moderating form to report the message -- instead, e-mail me. I must be able to verify that you posted the original message before removing it if it is not violating posting guidelines.
If anyone has any questions, I will be happy to answer them.
Thank you,
Goldbird
Don't like this. There are a lot of UNRELATED messages how does this help?
Why did you say that? Now there will be 60 messages stating
xx
sorry, but what I see is *latest messages* ,,,sm
not *related messages*, unless yours is showing something different than mine.
Sad but true, but at least no more NJA messages.
I suppose all the Indians will be cussing us out as the work gets offshored back to the shores.
Although, and even though we joke, to a degree that has happened in some industries already. While they still maintain the largest portion of things like the tech industry, a noticeable portion has started to be offshored to places like the Ukraine and parts of Africa as the Indian wages have risen to fill the demand for employees.
You kinow, I get mixed messages with that.
There have been job applications that want to know every single thing, even what were you doing when you were unemployed, and they want the dates for that. I have had people complain when I didn't. However, I would rather put job experience pertaining to the position I am trying to get.
can be a bit confusing
I, for one, hope they leave all KS messages (sm)
They show a total lack of restraint. Every reply speaks volumes about the company.
No policies regarding posting in public forums?
No policies regarding dealing with the public?
No emotional control? (that I'm sorry I said anything tone.)
MTs, where there is no discipline displayed in public, there will certainly not be any in private after you're with the company. This should be extremely educational. Why anybody but the absolute newbies would go with this company after these recent posts is beyond me.
I know with Yahoo you can save messages
to your computer. You would have to play around to find it, but I know it's there because I can see all of my past msgs and they are time/date stamped.
I click on the related messages and there
are about a dozen. If you will click on one of those links there are usually several other posts where others have responded to the same questions you are asking. Someone has started a private Transtech board within the last few weeks, but there is tons of stuff about Transtech on MTStars.
There are messages from Nov in related posts SM
if what you mean by looking for more is you want someone to tell you it's great, then here - IT'S SO GREAT, I MAKE MAD MONEY THERE, they let me work whenever I want and there is always tons of work and OT offered on all these easy accounts with normals. I think I'll retire with this company.
Does that work for you?

major mixed messages!
I think Larry must have left that one out in the conference I was in yesterday. It is hard to know if issues are purposefully being clouded (so we don't leave right away) or if like you say, they just really don't know. I would like know to the truth about whether CB, DJ, etc did only find out a few days ago. I guess ultimately it really doesn't matter does it.
Yes, and even if they are saying IC and SE are available, you are right, everything is followed with the foreseeable future disclaimer, or I think or I believe. I know with MQ, eventually SE gave way to IC which gave way to total employee no choice, stay or go. .... ....
