LMAO!!!!
TransCRAPtionist - ROFL!!! That is PERFECT! This may be the only laugh I get all day - THANK YOU!!! :) And, of course, on those days when I feel like a total zombie, lifeless, trapped in a never-ending twilight transcription zone, I can always call myself a TransCRYPTionist. Uh oh....you've got me thinking now - lol! Have a great day (if you can) everyone!
same here: LMAO !.......nm

what gives LMAO
Honestly, what is your problem? Why so hateful? What, you have millions in the bank.. Then why blog here? Compassion is a lovely trait.. you should try it once.
RE: LMAO
Um, not so overdramatic. It's happening to a lot of MTs. Not all of us have a hubby with a decent paying job and bennies to rely on. And getting on food stamps? Honey, they aren't handing them out like candy. Around here you have to jump through hoops to get them and even then I'm considered to make too much to receive them. And yes, I have eaten crackers and peanut butter etc just to make sure my kids ate. This is why I'm going to go back to school. Something that actually pays a living wage. Because sitting for an 8 hour shift and getting maybe 8 jobs isn't feeding my kids.
LMAO! All that and you have so much time
You bbetter come up with a better scam or stop posting here so much because it's very obvious that you're management and getting paid a salary with no need to worry about making any lines. If you needed to worry about lines you'd have about 5 minutes left of your work day today since you've been here constantly. What a liar.
LMAO. Soon they'll have........sm
 QA to QA the QA-ers !!
best of lucks to you too, LMAO
Their management can't even spell!
LMAO - THIS MADE MY DAY!
NM
LOL HAHA LMAO, etc.
Funny how all the people who claim to think VR is the greatest, simplest thing since the microwave also come back later to state that they have alternate sources of income. Based on their postings, I suspect some of their other income comes from writing fiction.
way, way too funny, LMAO thanks ;-)

LMAO! ROFL! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LMAO - this is really childish, you guys
Have you nothing better to do? Obviously not.
Bet OSI is squirming like they have fleas LMAO

Dang it, that was funny! LMAO
I have a spare bowling trophy I can FedEx to the OP to commemorate this event.
Haha! LMAO! Right! What is PHASING?????nm
nm
Hahaha! LMAO, you are hilarious!...nm
nm
stay tuned,...more to come LMAO!!! nm
lol
LMAO. The hospital locally PROMISED
when the time came, they did not follow through with their promise. Alot of MT's walked and now work for nationals and are much more happy and make a whole lot more money, including myself.
Your situation is good for you, but may not be so good for the next person.
PROBABLY IN THE HEAD/MAIN OFFICE (LMAO)....NM
FUNNIEST THING..they all think you're making all this big money (LMAO) -nm
OMG! LMAO! So worked up over 1 word? Better quit posting, her head's gonna explode!...nm

Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
Not necessarily true. That is not a true test of skill.
Do you know how many people get others to take tests for them? It happens and it happens more often than you might think. The only skill that shows anyway is that you can do it.
We are actually more than a transcriptionist. We are specialists in our field and we are supposed to know some things regarding anatomy and physiology as a working base. That's how we can judge if a physician dictates something in accurately and many do because they can't pronounce or just are not thinking. That's why our skills of basic knowledge come into play and that means basic knowledge of body parts. If our job was just to sit there and type without thinking about what we are transcribing, then all patients are in trouble and this is just based on what I see as a QA person.
It's more than just knowing how to transcribe and some of the companies have discovered how to know what your basic knowledge is based on what you have picked up with your experience by utilizing your references etc. Hopefully that utilization of your references has taught you something that does stick in your head.
Beliefs like yours are just so far off base. You have to know what you are doing. It's not just about being able to listen and type. Base knowledge is a very important thing and the services have to find a way to know that knowledge base that is there in your head.
lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make

This may be true... and that is philisophically true, but
and pay bills while being screwed? This is what I think the OP is scared of... I certainly agree and honestly think it is unfair to put people in this precarious position... on one hand be grateful you still have your job, or a job, and on the other, immediately there will possibly be a cut in pay, for which you may have to give up your home, or medicine or reduce your budget for food. I don't know if I am the only one, but I think the OP still has a good head on her shoulders and that may be the problem...at least for employers out there who are switching to VR.. and their employees
It is True
When really negative things are posted the company can request that they be removed from this site and it will be done for them. Take it from someone formerly on the inside. :-) I know.
Not True!
If you are working for CorT then you were invited to the meeting that we had today at 1:00 EST. They told us everything upfront and were completely honest. Focus chose not to have anyone representing them on the call. CorT is not being properly paid for the work that we have done and they are paying us themselves. I'm tired of hearing everyone badmouth this company, especially those that do not or have never worked for them. They are absolutely wonderful. They give every newbie a chance to earn while learning and our newbies are doing spectacular work...I know because I QA for CorT. If you choose to leave the company that is your decision, but they are going above and beyond the call of duty for those of us that work for them and the management is awesome. I plan to stay with them because they have been totally upfront and honest with us. Unlike some companies that I have worked for who never let us know anything until it was too late.
that's not true...sm
I post positive about MQ all the time, but I'm not a recruiter, or even management. I'm just a lowly MT like the rest of ya! So, nope, your theory is wrong! 
That's not always true
Some people won't be able to edit as fast as they type. The CEO said that himself in a conference call when he said that high producers in typing WILL NOT be able to produce as much in editing as those who don't do as well in typing. If a person is typing 350-400 lines per hour now they're taking a pay cut. In all the con calls they've had I haven't heard of anyone being able to produce 600 lines per hour in full editing. If you're mediocre in typing you should be able to increase your overall line production per pay period, but even then unless you're able to increase your overal production by 40%, you're taking a pay cut.
You are so right - everything you said is true!
Communication is nonexistent! They do not respond to questions nor listen to what you tell them. Many cons with this company. I'd say stay away!
That's very true.
If you don't normally type a high volume per hour, you will definitely increase your production in editing. If you type 400 lines or more per hour, there is no way that you can edit 750 or 800 lines per hour, yet you will still receive the decreased rate for editing. For some people who have been on the accounts for years all they had to do was pull in their self-made templates with the jumps programmed in and fill in the information. With editing, some reports need to be corrected almost entirely or at the very least have full paragraphs that need to be corrected or moved. The people making 2800 lines per day on editing are only doing minimum editing, which makes for an extremely sloppy report. Ask some on the Forum about their QA scores in editing. In a recent conference call people got low QA scores even though they followed all the instructions given to them about not changing certain things in the report that they had been correcting before. They were told they were over-editing. So when they stopped doing that their production went up, but then they got low QA scores. Something has to change. That means that either QA is going to change and allow sloppiness in the reports or people are going to have to start editing more closely to make sure that these errors are corrected. That means closer inspection and more editing time.
What is she saying that is not true?
c
Not true if they are an SE.
.
Not true......
I calculated my line count for a week, use normals all the time and got paid for everything.
It is true?
When is the takeover supposed to take place? Are the hospitals currently at Heartland staying with Spheris?
Not so true
I am not sure where everyone is getting their info from....I work for MDI-FL and never run out of work.
That's definitely not true....sm
There is plenty of work to be done, including some new accounts. I'm getting e-mails asking for overtime commitment not asking people to take off and stop working!
Very true...
So not true
only production and PTO time is accountable towards those 40 hours
__________________________
I'm wondering if you have all worked on the new platform?
When you fill in a timesheet, you write in your "down" time, your productive time, etc. If you are reviewing QA returns, DOCUMENT IT, you're paid for it.
Why not wait and see how the new plan (which is not really new for some of us it seems) works out? As I've said, I've watched this company for 30 years and this is a GOOD move.
That is not true. Many use 37.5, I have seen as low as 32
And insurance companies let the employer define "full time" so it is not for insurance purposes.
SO TRUE!
scary!
Very true. I am.
x
thats true sm
they dont bother you as long as you work your schedule. always work to do also. each time you run out, you let them know and they set you up right away with another account; just gotta learn each hospital's specs.
thats true too dr
and with that said, i also have been looking elsewhere. dang, for a while, i thought it was just me
