Stop saying THE REST OF US like you're some authority!

Why do malcontents like you think that anyone who has something nice or encouraging to say must be a) wrong, b) lying or c) management.
You must be one bitter, angry little person to find the need to throw a tantrum when someone else says they are good at VR. Just because YOU can't do it doesn't me that NO ONE can do it. Get it?

Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
QT Medical! They are WAY better than the rest!!! They're hiring!

And we're glad you left too. Plenty of work for the rest of us. nm

Hey! Stop posting like this or they're going to think I'm you!
You're right, but we would have to stop buying
drugs and Ford cars because their factories are in Mexico. The Ford cars are not big deal, but the drugs are. I do try to buy only American though.
You, MTSO, should just stop coming to OUR board if you're (NM)

Since when did you become authority to tell what can be posted?
I have every right to answer and tell others how I feel about TTS. I think you probably were let go because of your shortcomings and you cannot let it go. oh, I have no stress but apparently you and the 1 other here do.
No! Recruiters HIRE people! You don't have that authority!
It is EXTREMELY misleading to come on this board and identify yourself as a recruiter of Keystrokes when you were never actually given such a position by the company. Keystrokes does not have recruiters. The owner posts open positions on the job board, people send in resumes, and they have people in HR who do the actual hiring. They do not have recruiters. You are putting the company that I work for in a bad light, and lots of us do not appreciate it. Please stop.
Star Stop works better than express scribe. If you want start Stop, yea it is kind of sm
expensive. I wish they did pay their QA hourly as I think they would see better quality work, but they per line and it is higher than the other person posted.
I have never had a problem with management, so I am unfamiliar with what the other person experienced with management.
Pay is always on time (most of the time early). I like the software. I guess you just have to see if it fits for you.
Stop taking these insulting wages and they will stop offering them.

No, some of the rest of us can do that too.
But if she types 2,400 in 8 hours, to be full time she will have to type 26,400 in an average pay period and I think that is requiring to much as a minimum just because she is fast. And expecting her to slow down just to spread it into 40 hours a week is silly.
They are just like all the rest: Pay so so,
tech support okay, accounts okay, people okay, not great and can be rude. Do not dare get cancer is all I can say.
Do you know something the rest of
If you do, please share it. Otherwise, please, we have enough to worry about. Why should I get out now. Nothing has changed. If it does change, then I will act accordingly, but acting in a blind panic right now is wasted energy. If and when it does change, then I will find another company or get my own accounts. Otherwise, I am not going to freak out.
DSG is just like the rest of them
They only answer what they feel like answering.
Here we go. Let it rest, will ya? Please?
With sugar on top! Everything you said was valid and great. But please just let this thread chill out.
Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but.sm
she was very good to me and for that I am thankful.
And who exactly is the rest?
Are you referring to the rest of us who refuse to work for unethical companies who ignore the labor laws?
Why don't you tell the rest of us who have no work
which account you are working on so I'll know which account to request to be moved to. I am constantly without work and nobody seems to give a crap. Everytime I tell my lead I'm having a problem, either with the system locking up or no work, she lies and says she has the same problem so I'll shut up about it. This is really aggravating.
Well you should share with the rest of us then.
his employer and we pay over $600 a month out of his check for it and his employer pays part of it too. When I worked in a hospital I had great insurance for a little of nothing. I have kept in touch with my friends from the hospital who still work there and they tell me that is no longer the case. They pay a lot now for insurance that is not very good.
Oh give it a rest -
I posted just for KICKS for the record, because I sort of EXPECTED the (mostly) ridiculous posts received so far...
Just for kicks, I wanted to see if the COMPLAINERS on the board all the time would step up - or if they just wanted to continue to whine.
Please share with the rest of us!
I see the same stuff as the rest of you sm
I do have an MT who has a tenuous grasp on plain English grammar and punctuation. If I see 2-days time rather than 2 days' time one MORE TIME I think I will scream! I have sent loads of feedback and on about every thing else, she has seemed to listen, but this one thing...
Then you have the really good MTs whose work is outstanding, but they are the kind who won't show up every day.
I am still MTing quite a bit and have a reputation as being very fast and very accurate, but I doubt myself on both those things. I don't read my work all the time and I still have raves on audits. I attribute that to skill and to the fact that I CARE about my work. Why are there so few of us?
QA has taught me many things about the level of my skills and for that, I grateful. I wish I could be a better teacher as a QA person and help others get to where I am.
Give it a rest. (sm)
All opinions are welcome here. Just because you don't share the same opinion doesn't mean you can make it personal.

They need to give it a rest already...sm
Just goes to show, they are not getting inudated with resumes. That place is a pain in the patottie and will always be, who cares about Nuance.....
Give it a rest OK?
I was hired for Radiology, but by the time they fixed the bugs in the platform (about a week) the client decided to do their own VR. Guess what? I got transferred to work I had less experience with and left to the mercy of merciless QAs...
Gradually the patience and extra effort I made to make this relationship work waned as did the we really appreciate your patience and effort rah rah's from management.
YOU may love your job and have no problems, but please don't lecture those of us who had a much different experience despite OUR best efforts.
Oh...okay..then...with your case at rest...
we won't have to read any more of such ridiculous babble.
Give it a rest...
why not enjoy the day off? You are constantly complaining about TT so please leave already! I for one always look forward to a little extra time off when work is slow..no big deal if you are prepared for it. Work always tends to be slow at this time of the year anyway. Enough with acting like a child...obviously this company isn't for you. Call **** and let her know how you feel, stop coming here.
At least now this thread can be put to rest. sm
I knew from the first post that something didn't add up. I just hope everyone who followed it, finally realizes how bogus it all was and that LM is still the same reputable company it's always been.
This is one sad/sorry thread.
Don't know where the rest of my post went but...
I would post your question on another site. Too much bitterness and hate towards pregnant MTs here.
Well, if you are on the DEP you are running out of work also just like the rest of us do.
oh boy.. no clue where the rest of my post is.. sm
maybe I'll have time to rewrte it then... hmmm
Have been with the rest and now with the best, Keystrokes! Without a doubt!

MT is not any different from the rest of the working world
The first time I raised my children, I ran my own day care. I was there with them as they grew up and if they needed to be at home, I had the flexibility of staying home with them. In order to stay in business and compete with other DCs in the area, I had to became a not-for-profit business. After owning it for 5 years, I actually started earning a salary, not just gas money. When they were older and I sold the business, all assets were - by law - transferred to another non-profit business. I never had the type of benefits or earned as great a salary then as I do now, and I worked twice as hard.
Now I am raising my grandchild while working at home as an MT. No matter what company where I work, I will not work unless things are in place that encourages my success. If I am not making $20-$30/hr, I am at the wrong company. Because I am an IC, everything is a tax write off. The total amount I owed in federal taxes last year was less than $300, and for state was $400.
I can certainly relate to AnnieM! and the points she raises. It is up to each of us individually to make our own way, but it is that way whether we work as MTs or as a pharmacy tech or on the assembly line putting together cars. Companies make profits off of our work -- and I have yet to see a non-profit MTSO, pharmacy, car company, etc. My car is 10 years old. I don't have new furniture or carpet (and I won't until little bit is older), and I have one credit card that pays my bills for the rewards that is paid off each month. I don't know of any other profession where at least a bachelor's degree is required that would allow me to stay home to work and provide better pay and benefits/flexibility. If we all got BS degrees, then maybe we could expect and get more...but then we wouldn't be MTs anymore, would we?
I LOVE the platform, the rest is what I do not like
I second that!!
Give it a rest please - sounds like
racism. They need a job just like you do for the very same reasons. Place the blame where it belongs: Greedy capitalists who will exploit where and when they need to in order to make more $ for the suits.
Glad YOU can pay bills. The rest of us..SM
are struggling big time. You are weighing the fact that you don't have to pay for daycare and can go on field trips against everything else that's exploitative about this busines (I won't even go into outsourcing, although that's a major problem). Would you advise your children to become an MT?
You really should give it a rest already. As another poster said, get another job. sm
You have been harping about the same points over and over again. I used to work for TT, and I thought it was a good company. You obviously do not feel that way, so do yourself (and them) a favor and find a place that meets your needs. Life is too short to work at some place that makes you as miserable as you seem to be.
Good luck -- hope 2009 brings you great things.
The rest of us get it! We know you didn't post the
nm
OMG - give it a rest. Some people have to
complain about EVERYTHING even when there is nothing anyone can do about it. The LAW says they have until Feb. 2nd so stop complaining.
A bird in the hand, well you know the rest
probably. A place would never want to hear let me work a little while longer but as soon as I find something that fits I will dump you. I would have worked another job in some way, at least on a part-time basis, while getting out of the VR business. Good luck.
Then stay. Rest of us will leave.
The rest of the quote was that we have to do multiple...sm
specialties. It is entirely reasonable to think a multispecialty MT of 30 years would have a broader base of knowledge than a doctor fresh out of medical school.
An LPN and an RN cannot do surgery, either, yet for some reason you put them above a medical transcriptionist. As for a doctor, unless you are actually performing a surgery, your skill lies in your interpretation of signs, symptoms, lab tests, etc.
A medical Transcriptionist has to use this same thought process every day. How many times to look at the past medical history to figure out a medication or look at a lab value to differentiate a diagnosis?
I am afraid you sell MTs very short.
Another one of the pets talking here. The rest of us starve.

I rest my case. Once again OSi shows how dishonest they are.
This makes me ashamed that I once worked for them, but also makes me glad that I work for a decent, honest company now and do not have to be a part of their BS!!
Goodnight Lee and have a great rest of the weekend :) nm

The Ops could be staying in-house with the rest of the work being done by MW. nm

$14 hr for pt team lead rest production

RadMT was trying to help. The descision to fire did not rest

How nice you leave it all for the rest of us to do. I guess sm
you're the only one with friends or family.
give it a rest who are you the spelling police..nm

Mind letting the rest of us in on the conversation and let us know
at least the initals of the company? It is just maddening to be outside of a conversation. LOL.
