any QT workers
frequent this board. How is pay, benefits, work load. Still owned by Tampa couple?
MDI-MD workers, can you tell me
if they accept dial-up connections or satellite? Don't find it on their website. thanks.
Workers' Comp, IC @ MQ
Have any IC's ever filed a WC claim against MQ? If so, what was the course and/or outcome?
First of all, the auto workers SM
have been protected from the realities of the world for decades now. I have contact with them daily-you should hear them cry and complain over having to pay $4 a pay period to cover their family's health insurance. Co-pay for a Rx went up from $2 to $5? Oh, the complaining about what a raw deal they get.
These people all have cottages to summer in, multiple vehicles for business, leisure and sports and the rest of us have slaved. No company EVER promised to take care of its employees for life. We MTs have known that for years and now these people also can find this out.
To All happy IC workers..
Are you satisfied as an IC and not having benefits because you have another job that pays benefits or are dependents of someone how has medical benefits?
I think that off-shore workers
You just summed that up for me. I am glad you told the truth in that you like using slaves to transcribe who are none the wiser.
As an IC, I choose my own hours, days, lines, etc. You as an MTSO consider that whining, when it is the law.
So if you sleep at night knowing you are abusing and mistreating offshore workers, then good for you! It actually just proves you have no heart.
Another point I'd like to make is that if you need subs to make you money, you must be a horrible Transcriptionist yourself.
Any doctor that old me he doesn't care who types, when, and how would be off of my list of good doctors and I wouldn't waste my time. That doctor obviously doesn't care about people but only his own pocket and that would include you as the MTSO. That same doctor that told you he/she doesn't care will drop you as an MTSO in a minute when he/she finds a better deal.
Always remember, we reap what we sow. Try and have a good day, master!
Any Oracle workers here?
Am I the only one at Oracle (OTI) that constantly and consistently runs out of work? I'm not just talking about the usual holiday lull, I mean pretty much everyday? Because I do. I don't think I've had a paycheck yet that's been over 400 dollars. I'm on three accounts (count em '3') and there's still hardly ever enough work. I keep asking my QA ppl to put me on yet another account and they say there aren't anymore openings but then I get emails from them saying how the workload is heavy in this account, heavy in that account... etc.
Why why why is this so hard? Any advice? Anybody?
My request for workers
Apparently all of you who are so disgusted with my posting are so busy that you have time to be on this chat board. I, am quite busy and do not have time to filter through hundreds of resumes, which I have received in the past from a posting. Therefore I was upfront and honest about what I needed and what I would pay. NO, this is not subcontracted work, this is a full fledged hospital account, if it is any of your business. Spend time working not running other people down that you know nothing about.
netmed workers
I tested for the company called Net Med Transcription and was just wondering if anyone out there works for them and if they like, dislike them?
C&C Transcription does pay it's workers
Please don't confuse CC Transcription with C&C Transcription, they are two totally separate companies. Also C&C Transcription does NOT offer direct deposit.

It's just one more way of cheating workers.
Any Freedom Type workers here? - sm
I've heard nice things, read nice things. Do you like working here? Do you enjoy the work? Set your own hours and workload?
TIA!
I think it is great to get to know more of our "co-workers". (sm)
My elderly mom lives with me, my grandchildren are here before and after school and I go to Wal-Mart and Price Chopper a couple of times a week. That is it for me. I love the idea of getting to know some of my fellow workers. Winter is an extremely crafty season, hopefully will find others with similar interests.
Workers of the World, Unite!
I agree 100%. They accuse John Edwards of engaging in class warfare, and I say why not? The time has come to put an end to all this ugliness. Golden country, indeed.
I'd have to agree with you. Yes, you get a few disgruntled workers who probably
aren't qualified to be doing this work and get reprimanded or just plain unhappy and like to complain, then think twice about their opinion on a company, but for God's sake when people tell you that they aren't not getting paid on time, correct, or AT ALL, why in the world would you consider even taking a job for them. I agree with the poster in that it does reach a level of stupidity and companies that have those kind of unethic and dishonest tactics just prey on stupid people who should have known better to begin with. I think everyone has a right to voice their opinion and experience, good or bad, and yes, some of it take with a grain of salt BUT if it involves your livelihood, a paycheck, then pay attention. I just don't get people either. Here's your sign 
SINCE WHEN IS EXPLOITATION OF WORKERS PROPRIETARY?..sm
Are workers for NetMed IC's or employees?

I don't think anybody's wrath is directed at workers
For the most part, it seems the barbs are going right where they belong- at management. The closest anyone has come to faulting the Indian workers themselves is the wage that they make, which they have no control over anymore than we do.
10 reports per hour for QA workers???
Is it reasonable for an MTSO to expect QA to QA 10 reports per hour....when working on several acute care accounts? For the most part it is blanks only, but sometimes there are also full listens.
And they hired 300 Indian workers with plans for
Spheris Inc. of Franklin, Tennessee, has hired 300 people for its new center in Coimbatore, in India's southern Tamil Nadu state, and plans to add another 700 workers in the next year, company president and chief executive Steven Simpson told reporters.
Employees now, now workers comp needed...nm

Why positions cannot be filled. Not due to lack of workers,
Is it because Microsoft cannot meet employment demands based on available US similarly trained workers without paying US expected pay. I am sure if Microsoft was offering a decent wage those positions could be filled. But they will not be filled with US employees if Microsoft is only willing to pay offshore pay rates.
this is the last place I'd guess fellow workers to be...
during work hours in order to get an answer. Doesn't anyone work?
not to mention being discourteous to your co-workers this comes across as being a total ah

Confirm WX post, much more for hard workers. NM

Most of the weekend workers you listed make more than some
of the MTs on the board, so are they not getting better pay than the MT? Certainly, the baby-delivering doctor, the cops, the tip-receiving club works, blah, blah, blah.
Since your reply doesn't even address the actual question being asked, how selfish of you to take up valuable space on the board to vent your indignation about others.
do they provide computers even wtih partitime workers?
i need to know if they just send computers to fulltime workers. do they subtract every month for the computer that they will be sending the home-based MT? how much?
That should read "no workers comp needed" sorry

Ther e is a IT company in California who brings workers
puts them on board, sails out past the 12-mile rule into international waters, they work a few weeks, then brings them back to shore for leave, rinse and repeat.
This is not a rumor.
Lots of Indian workers use "American"-sounding
Say "Get Over It" to the auto workers and their families who are getting pink slips. sm
How do you think you would feel if you spent most of your adult life working for one of these companies promising you security if you stayed with them.
I have talked to MANY DSG workers who are badly treated. I chose to move on when I had enough!
Feel sorry for those who are miserable and stay anyway.
The "lead" probably quit if she had to spend her time begging for workers...sm
Doubt she was demoted - leads are too hard to come by. She probably quit management so she could get lines herself, or quit completely because she got tired of having to constantly recruit for accounts that were understaffed.
I know of many Teamster union workers who retired at an early age, i.e. 57 yo and have a HUGE
retirement check for the rest of their life. It is a great organization. There may be strikes, but usually get it resolved in a reasonable amount of time and with MUCH better PAY and BENEFITS.
Only from my experience with union workers.
Not blind. Brown nosers make great workers for the

As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m

That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I
I will share this about the MTSO I work for. I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week. Would she be able to cover my work. She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip.
And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for. To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.
There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
