That's exactly what makes them special. They haven't lost touch with the MTs. (sm)

In Reply to: They have a couple hundred and are still growing. You are right about it - TxMT2
That's why I believe they are such a success. Seems like a lot of people are saying the same thing. I believe this will be my last MT job - they are great.

What makes u think u should get special treatment?
Tons and tons of ESL and you can't avoid them.
Think his/her point was the share of the WEEKEND work. What makes you so special? sm
Everyone else has to work a weekend at least every now and then.
You obviously haven't a clue what you are talking about. TT has NOT lost any accounts. TT is NO
having financial troubles. Dictaphone does NOT control the money or the accounts. I would strongly suggest you refrain from posting that erroneous information here or face the consequences.
One of the few companies I haven't tried (ha), but they always have an ad, which makes me nervous
and I was told they do a background check, which includes not only criminal but credit, etc ... just too big brother like to me, but then again, I think they loan you equipment, so maybe that is within reason.
Good luck!
A special is defined as a special in Radnet - i.e. anything sm
from a PICC line placement to c-arm to interventional.
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week. No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie. The account is gone, please look for new jobs
How do I get in touch with CIT?

Does anybody know how to get in touch with CIT
I have heard nothing but good about Charts in Time, but they don't have a website. I would like more information about CIT.
How do you get in touch with them?
What is their web address?
Moretti-How do I get in touch-sm
with them? I would like to apply there. Do they have a website where I can fill out an application?
Thanks, Dorothy
Jester's Touch
Hmmm, well, I'm still not sure what the root of their problem is, but I was assured up front by the owner that they are very organized -- apparently not! I've been involved with companies that had a lot of turnover too, and if this is their case as well, I'm just not interested in playing that game again so I suppose it's just as well...
how can I get in touch with MDI Maryland. thx
xx
I believe 10-key touch means
You can enter MR# and account numbers fast using the number buttons on the side of your keyboard. Just put your middle finger on the 5 and look at the account number and enter it in without having to look at the keyboard, kind of like what you do with words. You are not actually calculating anything.
What's the best way to get in touch with Transtech?
Apparently they are growing beyond their office staff and don't want people calling them unless it is an emergency and they aren't quick to answer emails. I am not trying to start anything but seriously want to know the best way to get in touch with them where I can get a response in a timely manner. I am interested in going to work for them after hearing all the good things.
I got in touch with Alphastaff...
since they do the payroll and they sent me my w2 electronically today. The emails stating they were ready apparently came out weeks ago, even before the ones that were mailed last week, but for whatever reason I never received one.
Thank you so much! I will get in touch with you:) You are generous.
Ty.
Enough for me wouldn't touch it with
Thanks!
The managers are so out of touch!
They are so counting their money and bonuses they make by overhiring and having great TAT, they completely forget that we are making zero dollars because each of us are battling for each job. How self-centered and ignorant is that? Like a table which shoots its legs out from under itself, the table will soon be unable to stand!
W2 -- Anyone know who I can get in touch with to obtain my W2 from SPi? Here it is almost ...sm
the end of February and I have yet to receive one. I have all I need to file taxes except this one and the on from Focus. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
It is interesting that some of us here are actually in touch
Networking can truly work between MTs, even on an anon board, and this is an example of it! I am glad MTs share experiences... even though it sometimes gets rough here, I think that LTMT is an example of a poster who always gives honest answers...
The ACLU won't touch this....sm
Why you ask? Well, first off, she works, and secondly I am sure she is in this country legally.
The ACLU doesn't take on the causes of native-born Americans unless, somehow, religion or politics is involved. THEN they will come after you with all their heavy-handed tactics. Like the atheist who wanted the pledge of allegiance rewritten because the phrase under God was an affront to his daughter. And the people who want the cross in the Mojave Desert taken down. I could go on and on.
Gourdpainter...I truly am rooting for you. Make an example of the really frivolous lawsuit this is. And a parting thought (tongue firmly in cheek of course), I don't think your company is in too dire financial straits if they can afford to sue you. I would ask for a raise.
Good luck.
Really?? I wouldn't let them touch my system
When you are sitting and typing and all of the sudden something is being typed in your computer while you watch, you wouldn't either!
Yes, a couple years ago when looking I know I was in touch with them regarding....sm
a position and talked to the recruiter, I forget who it was, I will try to look in my records that I faithfully keep, but they were a recruiting company that works for many companies on contract as a middle man to help get prospective MTs, do some leg work, some phone calls, etc., weed things out, and send good prospects along, at least in my case with the lady I was speaking to.....have you spoken/communicated with them?
That's ridiculous. They must be completely out of touch.

I am desperate for work, but I won't even touch that. nm
xx
I'd love to stay in touch via email...sm
just click on my user name. Look forward to hearing from you! 
I gotta ya.. It really did sound like one certain company whom I will not name here as it will touch
off the debate and that gets old. Thanks for explaining.
Some companies prefer that - more of a personal touch. nm
nm
It has a light touch though. I have had carpal tunnel
surgery and am very picky about keyboards. I was pleasantly surprised that the one they went (Dell) had such a light touch.
Congrats on the job - I think you'll be very happy.
I wouldn't touch this post with a 10 foot pole. nm
:x
current info on jester's touch? i searched
archives and the only posts are from 2004 and 2003. thx!
WHAT is Touch Type? All I find is a typing test...nm
?????????????
and this is special because.....? nm

No, not very special.

There ought to be a special SM
piss and moan board just for all you negative types who like to do nothing but complain and be miserable and start trouble.
Well, now - isn't that special?!

After getting in touch with ILHIMA and getting a copy, it was proven that the poster was wrong. sm
There are no spelling errors in the ad.
This person was trying to stir the pot for no reason and had people upset, thinking that an ad was run without sending it to KS for proofing.
you must be special, most people get 8 cpl or
less if on the new platform which only pays 60% of your line rate.
You must be special, some of us get nuttin
I haven't seen overtime request in 9 months.
How is the ESL situation at MDI-Fl? Any special
nm
You must be special, I never get a call
and only get a list of work to be done. A thank you once in a while would be nice, or even an offer to change accounts since there seems to be a hiring spree for them. I feel like if I fell off the end of the earth that they would call in 2 days to see why the work was not done,but no one gives a care whether you live or die there.
These special teams they have is just SM
sugar-coating the fact that you get the worst of the worst all shift, every shift. It allows them to funnel all the bad dictator to the MTs who can do them and allow everyone else to have the lighter stuff. I think if they are going to have BEST, STARs or whatever teams, they should be paying MINIMUM 12 cpl for this kind of dictation.
No, they were never special enough to have their own in the first place.
nm
Nah, nothing special. They are interesting though. Perhaps you could ask for some?
Maybe they can put some in your cue now and then. Just a thought.
I have never had a problem, but I know how *special* I am! LOL
I sometimes get ignored, but I know when certain people are in the office or at home, on shift or off. About 96% of the time I have no problems at all. Had platform problems today and got a prompt answer and had it all fixed up within about an hour.
Special situation
Hey guys,
I got kind of a special situation and was curious if anyone had any suggestions. I am living abroad for 6 months and then will be returning back to my house in the US. When we came abroad I was working for a company and then started with another company a short time ago. I like them a lot, but they are mostly VR and I can't stand it and make no money doing it, so I was out looking for another company. I am a US citizen and pay US taxes, but I am having trouble finding a decent company to work for. I know some people do this job and are military wives stationed all over, so I thought maybe someone would have an idea of a great company hiring at the moment? I am fresh out of ideas. I have several that will gobble me up gladly when we get back to the US, but I need to work while we are away. I can stay where I am, but I am not really making any money and went part time due to the VR editing mess. Anyone know of any solutions?
Thanks in advance!! 
I saw that ad and took special note of it also. (sm)
My first thought was their accounts must be extremely backed up and they (KS) are in danger of losing clients, thus the need hire MTs who are going to be able to pull off that line count within only their first week.
However, there is ALL WAYS more to a story than meets the eye.
It takes special ppl to do what we do. Either you have it or you don't. sm
Not everyone is cut out for this field. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you because it definitely has it's perks! Like sitting in my PJs as I type this, while my hubby sits in traffic. It took him 5 hours to get home the other night from an ice storm. I'd list more bonuses, but there are just way too many and I have to get back to work.
Jayne, I didn't have to do anything special. I have
my SmarType running with MS Word and when my Word program opens SmarType is running with it. Load your SmarType and see if it will automatically start running when you open your Word program.
A special place in hell
awaits those people who told you that. I was an MT for 15 years and the most I ever made was 32K. That was several years ago when I worked at one of the last hospital jobs still around then. My pay actually got lower each year. I finally left the field.
Back in the day when I first started doing this, I constantly heard stories similar to my sister-in-law/aunt/cousin/best friend works in Florida/Texas/California/New York and makes $20 an hour doing transcription!!!!
I kept hearing about those big money jobs but I never found one. I've worked in every hospital, clinic, doctor's office and national you can think of and barely made ends meet. I'm so sorry they got to you. I wish I could get to people before they put down their money thinking their going to make big bucks. It's such a lie.
