That's disgusting, 1000 US worker versus 600
Posted By: Indian MTs. I am so glad on 2009-01-05
In Reply to: Here is the article - they do offshore - mt
that I gave Transcend the boot a few years back during their difficult times. They were awful to work for, and now I know why. This was all hush hush back then and still now. We're not supposed to have the intelligence to read the newspapers, let alone find the news. Backstabbers for sure, and one of the biggest games in town, when they always screamed they would never do this to us. Yeah, right. Go Transcend India!! And they don't even have the guts to call us US MTs - we're domestics.

MDI versus MedScribe versus SoftScript versus Transsolutions versus TransHealth. SM
I'm getting ready to start applying and these are the companies that I'm looking at. So give me the low-down. Good, bad, India?
Here are my criteria:
9 cpl or better
Does NOT send work to India
Good accounts with at least 50/50 of ESL versus American dictators
Consistent work flow - no downtime or time spent waiting for work
Upper management should be professional, positive, and encouraging.
Pay for lines WITH spaces.
Is there such a job out there or am I just dreaming? If there are other companies other than the ones I listed that would fit the bill, please feel free to let me know. I tested with TransHealth and I felt like I tanked. It was a hard test and I had to use the mouse to stop and start the dictation as it was online test and you couldn't download the voice files. So that made it a lot more difficult. One of the dictators was cutting himself off through the report and I had to leave some blanks. I'm very frustrated with this whole process of looking and testing. Are all the tests like that? Or are there companies that allow you download the test files and transcribe them using your pedal and software? Ugh! I am just so frustrated and discouraged.
Thanks for any helpf.
That is the most disgusting thing to see these
trivia questions posted on each account update that she is sending out -- it was JOKES last week. This weekend it is trivia questions to read before we get down to the work-related portion of the supe email. Supe must need something to do if she is spending her time thinking up trivia questions or jokes to send out to us on COMPANY email!
This is annoying to say the least when I sign on to go to work or check email, and get that message from supervisor that says, "watch next update for answer" to this trivia question! Is that work related, or what???
Why is this person disgusting?
I for one agree. It is thoroughly frustrating to hear someone say that the offshoring MTs are just so great and the American ones are terrible at their job. You obviously are Love it, Love it poster and are just too much of a coward to state your name. YOU DISGUST ME!!!
AMPHION is disgusting
I could never make their line count even with all the mandatory overtime because of their unpaid demographic mess, and I had six years experience at the time. I picked up an understanding of the account pretty quick but I am not a data entry clerk. I resented that a lot and knew I had to do something else, however it didn't take me long to find another job where I could be productive and make the line count without having to work overtime every day. Now I am back to my routine of dinner with my family and foosball in the basement without worrying about that damn hour of overtime. Amphion needs to get a grip before they lose all their MT's
Most disgusting? I can't imagine anything worse!
You really need to get a life if that's the "most disgusting" thing in your reality. Or else your time spent on this planet has been incredibly blessed. You don't have anything more important to worry about? Unbelievable.
Yup. I can sure verify that story! Disgusting. nm

Supe says "they rock!" This is so disgusting
to hear every time they put some new MT's on our accounts.
Today it's all jokes being sent out in emails! Just what we need, more emails!!!!!! We can read joke books or joke calendars. Would rather not have those sent by our SUPE in company emails !!!
Now that's depressing and disgusting at the same time. I hope you found something else.
I've been following your story because I find it disgusting the these MTSOs stiff people
and get away with it. I find it awesome that you had the courage to stand up to her and send this notice to the hospital. Why shouldn't they know what liars and thieves they contract to. A lot of business out there that subcontract, especially hospitals, are even running background checks so they know how they are dealing with. I'd file a complaint with BBB, Department of Labor..anywhere I could to get her bad name out there and hopefully if she does try to solicit more business she won't be able to. Again, I applaud you!!!! Good work!!!!
How can I get along with my co-worker.
I swear, I usually get along with most people but this one is trying my nerves. This lady did not get along with the other transcriptionists. She claimed they made too much noise, their hand lotion smelled (even though it was unscented), they shook the cubicle too much, always a complaint. So what the boss do? She moves me and the this whinny lady to a little office all to our own. I wasn’t complaining. Anyway, the only thing I hear out of this office lady is either bragging about herself or putting one of the other Transcriptionist down. She does put atmosphere in our office. I had to get up and go pee. She gives me a dirty look. I say “what.” Then she says I have this psychiatric disorder that I have to get up and down too much. Another complaint she had about the other office girls, they were in an out of the office too much, never sat still.
Then, she starts complaining about this ESL she was transcribing for. He is horrible, he needs to go back where he came from blah blah blah, I just chuckled a little. SHE says “ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee.” Then she starts in on how her neighbor in her apartment complex was making too much noise with his girlfriend last night. I chuckled. ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee. She had to walk further to her apartment. I said why, she said “OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE HAD MY PARKING PLACE hospital employee.” Then she slammed something on her desk and went to typing. I am sorry, I don’t know how to deal with this.
We usually have lunch together, although lately I have managed to back out. She will embarrass me. She happened to know “Dr. Bones” (orthopedist) receptionist who was having lunch with his mom and pop. She told mom and dad Bones that she transcribes for Bones and that Bones gets his left and right mixed up. I don’t know why but that embarrasses me. I don’t think she should be telling people that. She will also stop docs in the hallway and talk about their dictation that we don’t have time for them flipping through papers, chewing gum or stuff like that. Gosh, I wished one of them would put her in her place. Thanks for letting me vent.
Tto the IRS worker
Thank you. I have had a 40-year career in this business, have always played fair with my boss, with employees (when I had them) and with the IRS. I just have no patience with people who try to either work off the books or to cheat their employees. I say, good for the IRS! I hope you get them!
Maybe we had the same co-worker? LOL!!!
When I was training in-house to be an MT, we had a woman who had worked there for many years. The hospital had just gotten new printers, HUGE contraptions with this big heavy plastic 'silencing' hood on huge hinges.
On day she was in a hurry to snatch something off the printer and the hinges were still tight from being new.
She lost patience VERY quickly, grabbed the entire plastic silencing hood off the printer, and threw it across the room.
I was temporarily a bit frightened, but everyone in the room started laughing so I figured it was par for the course for her.
Just to be on the safe side, though, I tried to stay out of her way when she was near anything heavy or sharp.
Ah, those were the days...I laugh about it even now!!!
I have always been an early worker but now..sm
there is NO work and when it does come in it seems everyone is waiting like me to grab it and then there is NO work as there were only a few reports. I addressed these concerns only to be told I needed to be more flexible.
NIGHT WORKER
Thank you for the clarification. It is apparent that one of two scenarios is happening here. You are either charging too little of your client, undercutting all competition, or you are keeping too much of the profits for yourself!!
Since you have direct contact with this client, why not train them to train the horrible, ESL, fast-talking dictator!!
BTW, I work the night shift, so the time I spend here is my own time, as if that is any of your business.
To hard worker
I was looking for the same thing and found it at Landmark. They have very high standards, are kind and decent people and best of all, they leave you alone to get your work done. In short, they treat their MTs with respect and like we are actually adults. I recommend them!
Can I e-mail a Transtech worker?
Can someone who works at Transtech post here so I can e-mail some questions that I don't want to ask on the board?
grow up weekend worker nm
lkdjfdljs
Absolutely. Worker drones. However with this
These worker drones have Rah Rah capabilities. Most stay silent though and take it. The minority speak out and get dumped on. Sounds like some kind of controlling atmosphere and if so, there must be something to hide. I don't know, but I won't be a drone, for nobody nowhere, no matter how great people say they are!
Never met the offending office worker
Thanks for the reply. I don't know why she would alter my reports unless she is jealous that I work at home and she doesn't. That can be a big reason for lots of people to try to undermine those of us smart enough and trained enough to work from home. I do have any attorney who is interested in taking it on contingency and he mentioned about the HIPAA violation element. Still pondering whether to make a big splash in this small town.
That sure is a RUDE way to treat a co-worker.
Actions like that usually do.
Possible at Webmedx for very fast worker. NM

I would say yes - the worker agreed to the terms.
When hired and by continuing their voluntary working, the worker is agreeing to the terms.
Assimilate? What are we worker drones. Next thing you know
will only be given time to regenerate at the hive before we continue to assimilate others and continue to do the Queen's bidding. Is this perfection?
If you're a hard worker and a valuable MT, then yes it is
I have been there for 4 years and if I have ever had a problem (which is very rare), it has always been fixed RIGHT away.
I think your comparison is ridiculous and insulting. Try getting a farm worker's job and you'
nm
I learned a lot about MTSO from her post..not a job for me every..I'm definitley a worker bee.
Someones credit has absolutely nothing to do with how good a worker they are.
There are more people now days that have low credit scores compared to those that do not. A lot of different scenarios can put you with bad credit like major medical bills.
I don't think people should be judged on their work habits by something that may be beyond their control.
lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make

1000 per day - nm

Are you serious? Someone doing 1000 lph?
I have not seen that. Don’t know how in the world that would be done.
1000 LINES PER DAY
How long does it take to do 1000 lines per day for a mix of dictators for acute care. Thanks
It's $1000, and you would't believe what the premium is. nm

950-1000 weekly?
So I am curious, what company do you work with to make 950-1000 a week? I will be a new MT at the end of May next year, and I would like to know. If you dont mind that is.
When I said $1000 a month - sm
I meant that is what it would cost to get a good family policy without a ridiculous deductible through other companies.
I was offered a position by another company and turned it down because the premium was $900+ per month. However, it covered a lot more and had much less out of pocket than this policy has turned out to have. Maybe I should have chosen differently.
Minimum of 1000 lpd at 8 to 8.25 cpl. nm
f
Meaning, you are not getting 1000....
which I thought was the requirement. I have a friend who tried them out and went days without work.
DSG is 35hrs/1000 lpd.
.
i strive for $1000 a
week and can usually hit it in 40 hours or so.
$1000 deductible
I'm single and I pay $75 per period for the $1000 deductible, $25 office visit. There is also a $2000 deductible option that a single person would pay $37.50 per pay period, $30 office visit.
1000 lines a day. nm

MedWare might be 1000 lpd for FT as it's 500 lpd for
s
I had over 1000 lines my first day
Still going up as I build my Expanders and get used to the docs.
they have ins with a $1000 deduc sm
or 2500 deduc. About a 30 dollar difference per month. 401 K, dental, eye, life insurance, etc. etc. Pretty decent package.
Over 1000 lph? You must be rich!
LOL
even 6 a ripoff $7,50 hr/1000 ln/day 125 ln hr
that is $60 a day. Take longer than 8 hours, less hourly. Com'on. Com'on. Wake up, lesser of the 2 evils acceptable. Nope, not me.
$1000 weekly gives me a goal to aim for
I look forward to reaching that goal!
What is a good pay per 1000 words?
How many words are on a 65 character line - in general?
$100 per year? I was spending about $1000 sm
with my yearly membership to AAMT, a subscription to the journal, membership dues for my local chapter and fees for attending symposia for credits, the cost of driving/traveling to these things, etc. The math didn't work for me one single bit.
I produce around 1000 lines per day...
I have seen my production increase quite a lot in the last four months. When I first started I could only get about 500 lines a day...so I get a little more every day. :-)
I make 950-1000 per week
I am an employee, only 8 cpl with incentive over 1200 lpd, work a strict 8 hr/day, 40 hr/wk shift. I do work on only one account, about 75% op notes, although it is a very large teaching hospital so still have a very large variety of dictators (currently wrestling with my list of 500+ new residents for this summery). I have full hospital benefits. It is possible.....
$700 is very good, except as IC you are losing 7.5% in having to pay your own taxes.
Do you have enough work? 1000 lines a day?
I have read on some of the threads that there is not enough work to keep everyone busy.
