In Reply to: Southwest/Dallas. - DP

bonuses/weekend/night shift differential is much rather preferred by me in the Dallas office than those jobs picked at random by "who knows who".

I found a template while randomly googling - sm
While I was researching Meditech I came across a website for a company, I don't remember which one, that used it and had a template with the F keys on it.  I think it was for Magic.  Good luck. 
mystery job
Thinking we are pretty screwed myself. Heard one MT say a director called and said acct is gone and offered her acute care cause she had experience, seems most of us have no calls, so thinking not good. 25 MTs to displace probably aint happening. Yea hope she had a lovely vacation.... unlike us sitting on pins and needles. check what check sigh
ewwwwaaahh.....a mystery!!
I am one of those who applied. 
No mystery...new accounts. sm
Been with them 6+ years. Great company to work for.
I think they are a mystery company

My friend and I applied 3 or 4 times, with no response from them..between the two of us we have 60+ years experience in cardiology... do you think we might have interested them at some point.  


Maybe you can figure out the mystery

Since you're so good at finding answers - help us with this one!  My check has been cut in half for this Monday.  Next check looks to be even worse - I've lost 4 hours each workday this week.  We've got rumors we're all getting fired, and our supervisor is on vacation until next week.  Why don't we have work?  Do you think its the holiday?  Nobody will tell us what's going on!Help us solve the mystery of the disappearing job!


I think you solved the mystery

This appears to be exactly what is happening here.  Shame on employers for keeping MTs in the dark and lying about it!  From now on, when I hear the word Powerscribe at any employer, I'll dust off my resume and start looking.


Wonder why mystery job winners are not announced

by MQ sup. Have not heard a word about the winners of these. This is another "Edix" stunt. They have not played these games with the MT's in the very recent past, but that was an ongoing game with them. A friend of mine won in June, and just got notification this week (about 4 months later) of 3 or 4 places she could spend the money using some card that she has to get off the internet-- lives in a small town -- those stores are not even in her town !  Big whoopee for Edix/Spheris !!!

Why can't companies at least let you know you were not picked for a job?
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they are bombarded with people testing, but when you think of the hours spent for MTs trying to find a new job, and they take all those MTtest.com tests while still trying to work all day, only never to hear a peep back is hard to take.  A simple thanks, but no thanks would go a long way in my book.  I am sick of wasting my time.
Please. Yep, they picked 1 MT to send it to.

Looks like I picked the 2 right choices TY!

I just picked that out thin air. nm

I actually picked up a stalker
several years ago from another website.  A pretty frightening experience!
If you want to be nit-picked to death
Then by all means, hire on with Keystrokes. I had just started with them but after I saw my review, I told them I did not want to work for them. They nit-pick every comma, etc., to death and there was no way I was going to put up with that. These services get so carried away by all the insignificant crap that they just drive away anyone who is a good MT but doesn't want to put up with the nit-picking. Good luck.
Has any company said thank you to those who have picked up the extra
work for those who are "out of service" from the hurricane?  I have worked my fingers to the bone to keep a few accounts happy, no thanks, no overtime, no bonus.  Guess I am the dummy here. 
Love it here. I picked my shift, and
I enjoy it. Great benefits (I pay 236 a PP for full family insurance PPO with dental and vision!) plus PTO, holidays, and never ever late pay with direct deposit. The staff is awesome and I love my platform.
She tries to be nice..gets picked on for a typo..(sm)
and SHE'S hateful? You people are too much.
if someone actually PICKED this name.. then they need to hire someone with brains... nm

FATCAT - Has your worked picked up?

I've read your posts for years and know you've been happy at MDI, as have I.  My main account has FINALLY picked up this week.  Was wondering if things have picked up for you as well.  I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief and working as much as I can.  FINALLY!


Has the workload at MDI picked up for anyone? My accounts are still really low. nt

If you think you dont get more of the junk work when it is picked over by VR or ASR you had better
think again. The best attendings will be gone to VR and you will get the leftovers. I have been doing both for a year and I can guarantee you your CEO is full of it. Dont believe a word of it. You will either make less money on ASR or less money on the leftovers. Take you choice.
Amen to that - I have years of exp but never felt picked on here. nm
.
It was slow on one of my accounts this summer but picked up. sm
If I were you, I would go to Karyn or Becky, not Martha. Both of them will help you. I think Martha is too busy with new hires but the other two are great with back-up accounts or at least getting the names in front of Martha. Just a friendly tip, not meant to offend or cause flames.
Have picked up a PT job on the side. Hoping all works well with WMX, but (sm)

not going to disappoint the grandchildren at Xmas and birthday times.


The only problem with picking up a PT job is you lose flexibility in making up hours/lines with WMX because you are otherwise obligated.  Oh well, I don't think that can be considered my fault.  I just don't want to use up my PTO because of it.  Will they just let you take unpaid time if they run out of work during your window or do they make you use PTO or make it up?


Good dictators end up on ASR so it can only get worse. My accounts are all picked over.
:
Same thing happened to me last year and when it picked up, it was crazy sm
For the rest of the year.
Tired: Has worked picked up at FN. Used to work there and left for WX. sm
Would kind of like to go back. Loved the gang; I used to be a YOGer. Had to leave about 1-1/2 years ago because of no work. Still mostly IC? Thanks.
Con: Overflow work is cherry-picked from the git-go by the account's inhouse MTs. nm
x
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those
,
Monster Jobs and Career Builder usually have a few path jobs. nm
s
Don't think any do except for those in-house jobs. Some QA jobs are paid hourly. nm

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.  
Are MTs that are looking for jobs finding good jobs right now with everyone looking or is it
getting more difficult to find a good job.  I am most interested in jobs for experienced MTs with more than 10 years service.  I wonder if it is better to put a resume on or just keeping applying or what is the best way to go about this.
LOL! No, I'm FAR from mgmt!
Nemesis would have been closer ;) Believe me, I have STUDIED this company and would be the first to zing them if I felt it was earned.
Former MQ Mgmt = HIS Mgmt
..
U'r KS mgmt - I do my job, so had better you
Only someone in mgmt at the co. would keep posting like this, and be so seriously upset. I can just see an MT defending someone they work for like this, LOL.

The IC co. I just left did the same thing. Always responding pretending to be an MT. LOL.

Like I SD - you better believe my pay better be in my acct on the day it is supposed to be there. Not 1-2 days late. You want me ON TIME on the job, you want me to be responsible, give you advance warning of days off, do a quality job, to work the hours I am scheduled. LOL - that goes 2 ways - you better do YOUR job and ON TIME.
Yes I am in Mgmt.
I see it as part of my job to check things and keep it fair.
U can try discussing it with mgmt but you will just

be discriminated against because u do not think what they do is the best thing since fried grits.  If the program is so wonderful, why all the problems, the notes on the private board about major issues never resolved.  Why does it break down every day?  Why are line counts so hard to get?   Say a word to mgmt about anything and u pay the price by getting nothing but garbage for dictators and garbage accounts.  


They could save a lot of money by trashing this program and starting from scratch cuz MLS could actually produce some work on something decent. 


 


They must be in co-hoots with OSI's mgmt
so lame
I'm not mgmt. I don't even work there, but was

My choice was between TT and another company.  The other company went higher than 9 cpl, and I went with them.


Should be -- Don't KNOW if she means mgmt.

re: Word/mgmt

When I applied, Word 2000 and Excel 2000 was the minimum that you needed.. I did ask about the bounced checks, etc and was told that they do not currently have an issue but it was at one time. 


Every reason to believe? Oh, boy. I think mgmt (sm)
has better things to do than sit around on these boards all day.  Trust issues, huh?
Did you not think that QA and mgmt were in contact?
nm
My advice - look elsewhere. They (mgmt) is
extremely rude and feedback is insulting.
OMG! That explains it, then. MQ mgmt, and
ex-management are literally scum. After that enlightenment, I wouldn't say I was smart to send MDI-MD packing, but rather my MQ disgust radar was going off, and I didn't know why. Isn't that bizarre? That happened to me at another company a while back - one I was checking out before leaving MQ, and I accidentally recognized one of the names of management on a group email, and inquired. Sure enough, it was a company started by all ex-MQ mgmt. I tried to stay the course, but it was just the same old BS under a different company name. So sad, as I had heard great things about MDI-MD as well. Thus, my willingness to give them a shot. That's really a shame. Lots and lots of MQ MTs left MQ for them as well, and I know not many of us can handle any additional financial hits right now. So sad. People get the courage to leave one monster, and end up in the monster's spawn. Sorry if I offend anyone, but if you know MQ, you can relate.
Mgmt is US based but BAD!!!

Since the US management took over, there is no work and many Focus MTs have either quit - like myself - or have acquired 2nd employers so they make money.  No work, bad management, accounts leaving, payroll always coming up short now, no decent QA, management that won't answer your IMs and if you call team leader you are called stupid, a liar, a worthless retard and basically they hate you and will fire you.  I would personally avoid the company.  It was better and more honest and work flow was great when the Indians managed Focus!


That seems all you have done . . . TransTech mgmt ????
So silly . . . .
sure sounds like T mgmt, but thats okay.
x
send it to everyone BUT mgmt. Make sure it's just to the MTs. sm
what are they gonna do? fire you? LOL
