Would you care to share the name of the company?
and any other specifics like line rate range?
Care to share the name of the company?
Is it a National? How many MTs (educated guess is fine). You can E-Mail me if you prefer. I am just curious to find out how many companies have MT friendly QA staff. Thanks.
Would anybody care to comment about this company
Steady work, paychecks on time, benefits, etc. Thanks much.
MBS a company that doesn't care about their MTs
This company doesn't care about their MTs and the owner or the president is very proud to post her picture in her company's website. Check the link and beware of this very deceptive company. I don't want to waste my time running after them, just want to caution all the MTs out there who are trying to earn a living, they might commit a mistake dealing with this company.
Care to let us know the initials of this company?
I took a job a couple of weeks ago, but deferred because they were not ready to start the account. Have recently decided to start again as they phase in the new account, but concerned that you are talking about the same place I have decided to go with. I don't want bad news, but would like a heads up. I am so excited about this job, and was disappointed a couple of weeks ago but don't want to be disappointed again. Thanks in advance for any hint. Good luck to you as well!

What a total rip-off.
What jerks! I don't even care about this company anymore...sm
I did but I don't now. They don't care about us. We should form together and start a new company and take their accounts! LOL!
It's nice to actually CARE about doing good for the company again.
Can you give us the name of the company and if it's clinic or acute care? Thx. nm

If your current company has an acute care account ask them
if you could try it, at least do a few files a day to see how you do. If you do H&Ps and DS they won't be as technical as Ops or consults. You should already be familiar with lots of meds and probably a lot of the diagnoses and labs, so there wouldn't be lots of looking stuff on. If the hospital is a teaching hospital forget all the above because then you will have lots more terminology than you have in clinic, lots of new labs/tests, etc.
Any OSI radiology MTs care to share your experience with this company?

If you bothered the CEO of the company, who I personally know does not care what is written here, sm
than you are taking this all way too serious. The CEO (can't use names here anymore) used to come here but does not anymore except here and there to keep up on some industry changes(her words). She does not take this stuff serious and neither should you.
What you shoud be concerned about is the fact that you felt it necessary and OK to run to the CEO of a company on a weekend for insignificant things. If she is laughing, it is probably at you. If she is upset, it is probably because it has gotten out of hand, but I bet she has bigger things to deal with than a public board with anonymous posts. Gheesh. Both sides are out of hand.
If the company handles acute care work,
you can assume the hospitals demand coverage. That's how it's always been. The hospitals are open for business, so so are services.
We aren't much different from nurses or other acute care healthcare workers. If you want guaranteed holidays off, you need to get your work from offices that close on holidays.
I'll never figure out why people are so appalled that holidays have to be covered and we have to take our turns. The nicer places I've worked have split the coverage up so those covering would only have to work a half-day though. And there should be holiday bonus offered.

it is out in georgia
It was a test for a company and I have no clue if you had to download drivers. I would not care to
do that to take a test.
WebMedX is a good company. Decent pay for high level acute care
They have excellent account managers and a great QA dept. The platform is really quite easy with the improvements they have made, and they are constantly working to make it even better. Everything is geared to making the MT's job easier. I have been with WMX for over a year and I am quite pleased with them.
Didnt think of it cause I dont care. Wouldnt care if
x
Of course they care. They care you make just a tad bit
this way they don't have to shell out the sign ons, the full-time benefits. Oh, they keep watch on how you are doing and their budget. THey will use you til you drop and try to tell you that it is your lack of skills or speed keeping you from the full time pay which a person can't even pay bills with to begin with. Imagine that.. Use your skills, work hard, try your best, do well on QA, but make short of full time so no benefits, no extras, and no paying bills. This adds up to you broke, them rich, and a no-win situation... for the MT that is...
They don't care (sm)
They know they can replace us in about a minute or just send the stuff to India.
And we'll never get a union, there are still people who will defend these horrible companies who cut our pay, etc., so that we cannot do anything.
There are a few MTSOs complaining they cannot find good people, probably because they pay so poorly that nobody will work for them.
I know you probably don't care now,
something happened. You know…things happen in this life that we cannot control. Maybe it was her intention to call you right back and then she was unable to. Maybe if you got down off your high horse for a minute and realized she was only a human, you could have given her a call and gotten a great opportunity. But that's just my take, I'm not trying to flame at you or anything, but when persuing a job, I would think you might have given her another call if you were really interested.
I care too and I do believe that just because
a person works for a company that offshores, it does not mean they are going to lose their jobs. Yes, it would be a surprise that they send ALL their work offshore. Have you seen some of that work?
Well, many of us have to work companies that do a little offshore as a necessity to put food in our mouths so no, it does not generally matter that they offshore as that is a fact of life. All the US MTs losing their jobs however is a surprise and the QA too and THAT is something we should all care about.
I hope all the companies out there open their doors to this circumstance and take a stand against this kind of treatment of our own workforce.
It is totally bizarre.
They could care less.

They don't care. sm
They have a whole new audience in India, Pakistan, et al. When AMERICAN MTs finally started rebelling by dropping out of their *organization* they had to look elsewhere for members and it's clear to see where they are going. Don't need them. Never have, never will. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
who am I to say you do not care about others...
read your own posts...you are speaking loud enough for all to hear how much respect you have for other people.
I will let you have the last word, because you have more than proven my point.
Thank you...
They don't care.
If you have ever had in-house escription MTs from the escription company time, then you know how terrible their work is. Our clinic let their MTs work on our doctors all they wanted. TTS is cheap, which is why they got the account. The doctors are also switching to EMR and many are no longer dictating at all. If the clinic had been a decent company, they wouldn't have gotten rid of my department to begin with.
Care to tell us

Think what you want. Don't really care - nm

Why don't we care for the ones already here?
It is 110% my opinion that as a species humans should learn to take care of the children who are already here. It breaks my heart to hear of children bounced around in foster care and sometimes given back to *parents* who didn't want them in the first place. I know there are good people doing foster care - but it's not the same as having someone to call mom and dad and having a home on a permanent basis. There are still orphanages here, maybe not like in Oliver Twist but not a home with a mom and dad either. There is a whole generation of children in Africa who are being orphaned by AIDS and genocide. There are orphans being created in the Middle East every day because of war. There are children in South America living in garbage dumps and being exterminated by the police as if they were vermin. There are children in Asia tossed aside because they are the wrong. There are so many beautiful children already here who need permanent homes and people to call mom and dad. When are we as a species going to get serious about caring for them?
I really don’t care to do because
i really love the acct I work on and feel comfortable there. I don’t know why I should change when I feel the work being doled out to others not on my acct. Wonder if overhired on some accts and now not enough for them. Do you use VR on your particular acct and do you like the one you are on?
Some don't care if you have a second job (sm)
but they will have you sign a non-compete agreement, including Keystrokes. But the big ones such as MQ usually won't let you have a second job. Someone was on this board a while back who claimed she worked for S and MQ, which to my knowledge is not allowed, but that was a while back.
Anyway, if I was you, I would play down the second job; Keystrokes is hiring full time anyway, so it would have to be your first 
I don't care where in the US you are sm
charging a client 0.07 is too low. Indian companies charge more than that. Have your friend take a job with a company and earn benes and let those local ones go. No way can be worth dealing with all the office BS for that wage. Trust me, those clients will come back and willingly accept a pay hike after what they see is out there. Even .09 is too low no matter where you are. Nationals are charging their clients between .15-.17 per line and these are clients from everywhere.
We don't really care about you and... SM
your experiences anyway. I figured you hadn't stayed at 1 company, not many of us have that luxury. And I certainly know that it costs money to hire people. But my point is just what I said, no different if she tests them all now or tries one and dumps them in a couple days or a week and then starts another one. Plus, you keep mentioning this equipment stuff, but the OP never said that that was the case. She might very well be just using her own.
they care...
I am not sure what is going on with the pay issues, but I used to work there in work flow and I know for a fact that they value the MTs, so it is not intentional. The VP of the company speaks very highly of the MTs and the wages they pay impressed me, since I remember them starting at 10cpl, and they do straight typing, so that sounds good to me since I am making .04 cpl on VR. I hope things work out for them soon and that you all will be paid on time.
could care less
I could care less about YOUR work reputation, but YOU should care.

About day care
Day care does not raise your kid. Day care only covers you while you are working. The bulk of the child rearing still is done by the tired working mom. Working is a very good example for your child and it is a way of showing your love, providing for your child. Trust me, I did it for years. The only reason I started working from home was that the school schedule had too much time off. Day care isn't raising your kid any more than a SCHOOL is raising your kid.
anyone care for the.....sm
ATSI platform? I believe it's Enterprise? Any other info also appreciated. 
You really don't care?
If you really didn't care you would find something else to do besides write SO WHAT all day. I think you care about finding just ONE person who will agree with you and it's not happening. Well, unless there is another person who signed up and is going to come on and help ya out. There can't possibly be more than 2 of you, could there? 
MT - we just want you to care! Please care!
You may not have gotten that new career, but when one door closes another opens! We all appreciate your opinions. Please, don't go, but just understand that when a company is trying to ram it to us we like to know and we like our fellow MTs to know that the money should be in our pockets not companies who are simply trying to make a fast buck on our hard work!
Good luck to you!
Signed,
Just another MT/Poster here!
I don't care
I don't care where the owner goes, as long as I get my paycheck twice a month. She runs the company, she is entitled to spend profits as she sees fit.

This has been taken care of. NM
They don't care...
Most companies do not care about their MTs, Spheris included. All that matters to them is the bottom line. It is all about the money. Things are not like a long time ago where you could basically expect a raise every year or so. It would be nice to have a raise even if it was every other year. I guess I am getting tired of jumping through hoops of fire that are getting smaller and smaller every day. They expect more from us MTs but want to pay us less and less.
Well, I guess things could be worse though as there are a lot of people who don't even have a job.
They know this, of course. They don't care. nm

Care to elaborate on that a little more - sm
Is this the only job you've ever had?? I have interviewed for many jobs in my lifetime, some I was interested in, some I was not. Some that started at $20,000 and others starting at $60,000. I have never thought any questions were strange. The questions that you find strange are probably to weed out what kind of person you are, what kind of situations you can handle, etc. It's a lot easier, I think, than coming right out and asking the obvious questions. Heck, even Red Lobster asks "odd questions" during their interview process, such as, "if you were walking down the street and you THOUGHT you recognized someone across the street, but you weren't sure, what would you do or say?"
A lot of recruiters are generally screening for potential hires before passing them along to the person that does the actual hiring and has more information about particular positions. So in the incident you stated above, that particular recruiter may not necessarily have that information.
What does that mean? Care to explain?
Did they cut your pay or are you talking about new hires? I was hired 4 months ago at .10/line. Sorry if that bothers you.
Care to elaborate, CC? nm

that fine~i don't much care whether
you believe me or not. I have nothing to prove to you. lol
