Easy to spot
 lol :)
Just have it set on Busy or Away and turn off the sound in Preferences. Easy to ignore that way! :)

Trolls?
Any MT who defends being docked for errors, sounds more like management to me...
UNless your rate is so high as to be able to justify a very small deduction (for serious errors only), of course...
Yay, GP! Boo, trolls! nm
Please don't feed the trolls
zzzzzz
The reason I am sure these are NOT Trolls...
Because, honestly, this is they way they treat their MTs! It rings so true. They recruit VERY HEAVILY and go through MTs more than any other MTSO I have been with. That's why you see all these other MTs posting their negative experiences with SS.
They are trolls, just out to to antagonize.
They are common on the internet, and should just be ignored at all times. It was a very obvious troll post. Now that it had died down, it certainly will start up again by posting again about it. Please just let it go away. The only thing that should have been done is that the moderator should have removed the whole thread. That's what moderators are for. Legit posts get deleted all the time, but they leave this crapola sitting here.
I HATE trolls!
Just ignore these kinds of ignorant posters. They are lacking something in themselves that they feel they need to take out on others.
I am sorry about your job prospect, but I truly believe everything does happen for a reason. My thoughts are with you
some posters are trolls..
ignore
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

Actually, so many forums have been ruined by TROLLS
that they had to resort to moderator-approved posts or registration to get rid of the JERKS. You know what? I like those forums better because I'm sick of the constant negativity and trolling here. Why do I come back? I don't know. I've made some decent friends and networking contacts here. It's just not worth the constant negativity. I'm a happy person, and I like to hang out with other happy people. Negative people drag things down.
The owners of this board are trying to do a good thing here. This board is NOT a forum for trolls to flame others just to make themselves feel good.
I've got my crockpot full of spiced cider, a plate of sliced apples with caramel, pumpkins to carve, and popcorns balls to roll. That's way more fun than putting up with rudeness.
No way...TROLLS hide under bridges
And those things are annoying and smell bad.
*smile*
I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
If you say anything good about this company, the trolls want to knock you down,but..Sound is fine

I agree. A bunch of ugly trolls on the board today who like
trouble. And who obviously aren't typing right now. I just took a break and am back to where they appreciate me. At work for TT!
geesh, I thought the main board hosted the nasty trolls
:{
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

I got hired right off the spot
They e-mailed me my paperwork and I got started right away.
NM up there. She needs a new spot as her current job
s
Yours was one of the most eloquent, spot-on, and
to-the-point posts I've ever read on MT Stars. Every sentence, every typed character --- DEAD-ON ACCURATE!
I think every MT supervisor, hospital CEO, current MT, new MT, wannabe MT, nurse, doctor, patient, and elected official should read these words and take them to heart.
I think your talent with the written word is wasted in this profession.
I only meant that we do not run out. I am taking someone's spot while sm
they are on vacation. I know that someone will take care of mine when I leave in 3 weeks for vacation. It is called teamwork. We are not overstaffed on our accounts; it is a good workflow.
I also know that they are not hiring right now as we are fully staffed, and I know this was posted here a few weeks ago. There are a few new accounts coming and I am sure that they will hire then but not overstaff.
I was on that end before and NO THANK YOU. I hated scheduling and coverage issues and waiting for clients to pay. I just transcribe and get paid well to do a good job.
I quit "Johnny-on-the-spot" nm
nm
Would think they would be doing some kind of spot testing or
s
No testing, on spot hire 8.5 cm sm
I have LOTs of experience. They have excellent benies and they contribute to your health plan making it EXTREMELY affordable with plans to choose from. They have PTO that is generously figured, incentive plans that are sometimes pop your eyes our good.
I used to get 10 or better. You know what? That 1 to 1.5 cents won't buy me health insurance, won't help that much on my taxes and certainly won't give me 11 PTO days a year...and I'd have to work EVERY holiday, not just 4 a year.
Your post is spot on. I agree with everything you say.
nm
Spot on! You've got it right! I am so sick
of these MTSOs taking advantage of ALL of us, newbies and oldies alike. It makes me sick, yes, sick, to read the posts from all the innocent new hires, who are so excited about their new job, and on here all happy with a few questions. My heart sinks when I see the company they signed onto, and then my BP starts to rise when I read how they love the recruiter, she was so nice, blah, blah. Boy, been there, done that, and these MTSOs and their lying recruiters are still playing the same game they were 5 years ago. I nearly went bankrupt believing the lies, and why not? Why would MTSOs lie to us? Why would recruiters lie to us? I'm not saying all do, but definitely the ones discussed regularly on this board are what one might otherwise term pathological liars. They have NO shame. Promise the MT the moon, get them to say YES and commit, and then just wait til that first week or two. That recruiter will vanish off the face of the earth. They're done with you, got their commission or salary, added another notch on their belt and have moved on to the next victim. Yet MTs read the experiences of all the rest with no work, no work, overhiring, and still fall for this. Its beyond a shame. I think it must somehow be illegal. I'll never forget a great recruiter at Transcend. I thought she was a saint. She thought I was so wonderful and special, she put me on their best account... I kid you not, exact words, and I think paid me something like 8.5 cpl. Which she also told me was their MAX cpl, and only done for me as I was so special... Well, unbeknownst to me, or her, a coworker who I shared my wonderful Transcend experience with, applied a day or 2 later. The same saint recruiter told my friend (again, not knowing this), that she would put her on a different account. When my friend asked if they had any accounts in the state I had told her - as I didn't give the account name, the recruiter laughed and told her it was their WORST account, full of garbage and ESLs, and only chumps got put on it. She was too special for it, and also got at least another cpl offer more than I did. And I had tested better and had years more experience, but my friend was more assertive. Well, she called me and compared notes. She never started, as she was so insulted at the BS, and I tried, but hated it. I just didn't have the heart, knowing I was deceived. That's just an example of the game, and its still going on. When you see the same company names hiring all the time, there IS a reason, and don't fall for the excuse that its because they are getting new accounts. Oldest story out there - right up with the check is in the mail. Cover this stuff up front with those recruiters, get a guarantee in writing of a work load and hit the ball out of the park when asking for your line rate. You can bet that whatever they offer is bottom barrel offers, so go for it! You have nothing to lose, believe me.
FYI, her work was just spot checked by us - sm
from time to time, as we are to send in client-ready work, no true QA. Hence a lot went through to the client that was less than stellar unfortunately. Their request to remove her was not a reflection of a bad QA department.
I'm so flustered, I got my name in the wrong spot LOL nm
x
No sore spot at all. I simply do my job,
get my lines and hours in without much trouble and don't fret about who's getting the gravy work. I get along with my lead and supervisors well. I can do any report that comes my way, even the ESLs that others continuously skip over or suddenly lose their connection when they see the name or number. Simply do the job I was hired for, collect a nice paycheck and when my day is done I don't think about it again until the next day.

Yes, you are someone, You are one of their token US employees. Hey, what is that brown spot
;
Call TransTech, they may hire you on the spot
.
The other thing is that I know India is a sore spot.
that really can get ahead with Focus. I also feel that not all nationals (hence their name) and MTSOs are really going to reveal they offshore. I feel that if a company offshores and is honest about it that it says a lot for that company. Honesty is a good policy.
I also feel that since Focus is a large company, you may not run out of work and you may advance in the company as I said. You could always give it a fair shake and if it doesn't work out, then move on. You can only live and learn, and you never fail until you stop trying. This is just my thoughts on your situation. I definitely would not worry because all money is green and it spends.
Axolotl a bright spot in a dim MT universe
Seems like the company is hiring. Though they are really picky it seems like they are what we are looking for, because their insurance rates are as low as some other companies used to be and as low as hospitals are and start in 30 days, they have a sign on bonus, a referral bonus, great high line rate and provide equipment with deposit. Company started by doctors and do not off shore. I am pretty happy about the prospect, however, they only take really really experienced MTs. Anybody have experience with this firm and could provide further information would be well appreciated. They just got a new account, I do not think they normally hire many because very low turn over. Any comments at all pro or con would be very very appreciative. Thanks in advance.
pretty sure this post is in the wrong spot.

OSI true to form: I am ready to quit on the spot
I just got my latest paycheck from OSi and did not get paid the extra 5 cpl holiday pay. The reason??? With their ridiculous new holiday policy my primary and secondary accounts were out of work, did not have enough work to give me the 1000 minimum line count so therefore I did not get the extra pay for the lines that I did type. I was required to be stuck at my PC all day and constantly got instant messages from client support to make sure I was there. This is just sooooooooooo wrong. I am so fighting mad and feel like quitting right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need some help ASAP. Does anybody please know where I could get hired at another company pretty quickly? I almost don't care where it is because I am desperate. This is the last straw with OSI and I have had enough. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Follow up on Bright Spot in Dim Universe Axolotl
This is to the MT who was so excited about Axolotl a while back, and anyone new there. Thinking of applying, because it seemed perfect, but then staying with company until people have been there a while. It has been a few weeks. To the happy Transcriptionist and those who went with her to Ax, wondering how it is going. I don't want the stress of leaving my current job, so comments would be appreciated. If that place is too good to be true, I'd like to know and just stay where I am. TIA.
Big changes happening very fast at Medware! Anyone know what gives? Making me a spot of nervous.

Ignore them if you can.
I didn't think you were management or brown-nosing, nor did I see anything wrong with your post. I don't think it is old biddies, I think they are extremely young or at least they seem immature to me. They are like little gremlins or something. The very second they see anything positive said or someone asks a question, it seems to irritate them and they crawl out. Couldn't tell you why, but don't worry about it. Everyone that reads these forums are not that way. Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and I for one am glad to see someone happy with their company.
Ignore this
I have no idea why this double posted, but if someone could delete one, I would be much appreciative!
Ignore them
Oh my gosh just delete them. That's what I do. They are not asking you specifically to get on and work so if it's not your shift why are you getting so upset about it? Use your delete key.
I AM SO SORRY... PLEASE JUST IGNORE US...
Have I no shame, you may ask, and rightfully so. If I were truly of sound mind, that would be a very fair question. Unfortunately, as I have detailed below, that is, sadly, not the case.
There is hope, however! You see, as I was about to fling myself into The Hillbilly Acres Memorial Septic Tank, I was amazingly stopped by the engineer who was, AT THAT VERY MOMENT, servicing said septic tank. Can we all talk about timing??!! This kind man informed me that he was looking for an assistant and I was OBVIOUSLY PERFECT FOR THAT JOB! Of course, I was forced to perform a few acts that were rather displeasing to my various personas (hey, haven't we all been in this position at one or another time in our lives!) to acquire said Asst Septic Tank Engineer job but it is going to be worth it, I know! Soon I will have money for health insurance and MEDICATION and will never darken your MT doorsteps ever, EVER AGAIN. I PROMISE!
Now, until then, please, PLEASE, I BEG YOU, IGNORE ANY FURTHER POSTINGS FROM US/ME/IT/WE/ETC.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation with us!
CONSIDER THE COURSE & IGNORE.nm
Jewish Hospital & St. Mary's in Kentucky has an In-House, days MT spot
s
And furthermore, you can see this hits a sore spot, this giving people backup accounts and then
you run out of them is also ridiculous. There you sit making less and less money and trying to learn multiple dictators and then guess what, that dries up. Once you know that is what a company is doing, then you go to your alternate plans and never look back. Sooner or later when MTs either decide no more or they get multiple jobs and they have to keep hiring and hiring which impacts their quality I am sure it will settle down. At least, I would hope so although it doesnt seem to be right now. Could be because of sending work offshore not sure. All multiple backup accounts do is make it harder to make money and you have more problems with QA and your own quality because you just keep popping in and out of all these accounts that you really dont get to know that well. Knowing an account well is the best way to go for quality and line count for sure, NOT multiple accounts. All that does is help the MTSO keep the work caught up to the exact MINUTE.
I ignore verbatim
and use common sense. If it is obviously a woman, ADT screen if you are on DocQScribe will tell you that. The doctors have these degrees but they are not perfect. Nobody is. I have a doctor who does not even know how to count, 1, 2 4, 8, 7, ??? Now I do not type this.
We are smarter than the docs sometime and just forget about verbatim in those situations.
They do not even know how to spell many meds either but you can't go verbatim here either.
You will give good patient care by typing what is right and ignoring the doc.
Ignore the above post. nm

Ignore the troll.
p;
I usually ignore these things too
This report was from a couple days ago, so I don't think things have changed. The format is totally 100% wrong in nearly all fields. The thing is, they let these new MTs off QA in a matter of days. I understand there were many new MTs to check, but I don't understand how something like this got through, especially when one of my reports was reviewed and though there were no errors, I was told to use of between CO2 and the number to avoid confusion. Seems a bit picky when you have something like this report going to the facility. There was no additional sign off on this report and this particular doctor is a very, very good dictator, though uses many uncommon terms that need to be looked up. I don't know, I guess I will hold off a bit for now.
They ignore both IM AND emails sm
Emails are usually ignored. As for IM, usually ignored also except for 1 person, who is good at answering but she's lower down the pole and isn't the contact person for some of the stuff. She's the only good one there.
