Yes, just like Scientology, but they do have private board forum.

Where does this post belong?
x
Tiliput's language does not belong
won't read it unless you can talk English and not your mother tongue. Try to tone down your F word and save it for the back yard.
All MQ posts belong on MQ board. (NM)

Still doesn't belong on this board. nm

The 2nd acct doesn't have to belong to your STM - SM
It can belong to another mgr. If your STM seems reluctant to find something for you, take a look at the backlog page and ask about one of them that seems to have lots of work. I'd just say Every time I look, I see that Acct X has lots - would that be a good backup for me? Then the STM can make sure that it does have enough for you to train on, and coordinate with the other STM who manages that account.
This probably doesn't belong on this thread sm
but since there are Keystrokes people here, I just started with KS and was wondering, do they have accounts that are not on Meditech?
Thanks. (And I hope that Transcend is not buying KS .. ugh)
Yes, I think they belong into the squash family...sm
But as I already said, only the young and tender are good, when they get bigger, the get bitter.
Anyone here belong to the Webmedx AHDI Chapter?
I'd like to talk to you, please.
The problem with this forum is that it is a forum...
meant for MTs who want to share information, get answers, and sometimes just vent about a problem. The post about cherrypicking began with the MTs problem of having to transcribe reports that were obviously skipped over by her fellow MTs. The response was quit being a cherrypicking busybody and do your job.
Regardless of how you view cherrypicking, how is that response helpful in the least? If you do not have anything productive to add to a thread, then just stay out of it. That was completely inflammatory and characteristic of what a troll would do.
Nobody wants to hear just deal with it when they need a solution to a problem. They also don't want to hear about how perfect other MTs and if they were just like them, it would not be an issue.
In your own words, nobody likes it but some choose not to worry about it. Then don't respond to the thread. Don't be pompous. Don't make it sound like you are so superior because you don't care if you get all the worst dictators. Maybe give a positive response on how cherrypicking is good and should be appreciated.
That is the problem with this forum...the people who come here to be completely unhelpful in the guise of being a perfect MT.
I am so glad, so very glad that finally I have reached
the age that if we are low on work, I just take off. No problem at all and love the extra day or so off. I now have worked since the 70s and finally made to retirement age, get SS plus other retirement money coming in and thank the good Lord do not have to worry about if there is work or not. BTW, when I worked inhouse never ran out of work ever, only when transferring out to company do they run out of work. If I had to raise a family now I would most certainly cross train on other accts at my place but only have 1 that I work on, by choice.
PRIVATE?
Not these days. Many MTs are also MTSOs, so I wouldn't count on PRIVACY wherever you intend to go with this. As both, I would be willing to share what I know with my colleagues if I felt it was to their benefit. Multiply me by many and there goes your site of shame. Good luck to you too! Hope you can CYA sufficiently to avoid problems for yourself. You should be nicer to these MTs. They help pay your salary. Maybe MTs should do away with recruiters? Too many middlemen drive up the price and the providers would benefit from the absence of all the middlemen in all areas that try to get a piece of the action in their practices. Maybe without you all it would benefit the greater good. Something to think about, eh?
Maybe our cut was to buy them a private jet

Private..not
I meant to take out the name in ALL of the places. It is not a private e-mail. Every employee got this e-mail.
I have every right to warn people against working for an employer who BREAKS THE LAW. I have PROOF to back me up on everything I have said this company does!
Wow! I pay that much for my own private plan.

private insurance
My husband is trying to change careers so I went looking for a new MT job instead of being an IC since his new career takes 6 months for the insurance to kick in. We are going to check all our options but I believe we will go private instead of spending nearly $1000 a month on it
You can get a private policy for less than that and probably
better insurance too. At that price I don't think they are absorbing any of the cost, so it really isn't a benefit.
I sent you a private email.nm

Get a private policy. You s/b able to get
a very good policy for half that. Call local agents in your area and get several quotes.
Have you tried getting a private insurer to
nm
You mean even on private computer?
z
Why not just get a private policy? Unless you have
pre-existing conditions you can get your own policy that may be cheaper than what you can get through work and then you aren't tied to a company for insurance only and you don't have to worry about a lap in insurance if you change jobs.
Private group? Where?
Sorry, I know I must have missed something..haven't been here in a while. Is there a private TT group and where? TIA
Where is the TT private board?
has been down for 3 weeks and just saw the thread about it way down on the board.
private board
i've only been there about a year, but there is not one that i am aware of. sure wish there was.
I am as well. You can e-mail me private
if you like.
Boy, I'd be happy to take over that private account if you want to get rid of it!
 I'm sure that is not the one you'd want to get rid of though!!
Get private insurance. It is probably cheaper
and better than what company offers.
send me a private email
I don't discuss this company on the board and you will find few who do.
Does anyone know if JLG employees have private groups or something? (sm)
See almost nothing in the way of posts on any other board. Working there PT and would like to meet some other people from there.
Private equity firm in NY
Culbro LLC private equity firm in NY, is new partner for OSI.
I can get a private policy for a family
of 4 for about $400 and that is with very good coverage. We have no pre-existing conditions though and no chronic medications.
Ykes, I have a private policy and only pay $160/mo. nm

I'm an IC and have private Humana coverage
It's $99.05/month for just me. This includes $35 copay for dr visits ($50 specialist visits), $1535/55 Rx, depending on what level the medication is, $75 copay for ER visit. It's a PPO. The only really bad thing is that there is a $2000 deductible, but that's only if I have to be in the hospital and hopefully that won't happen. I'm 29, have never had a lapse in insurance and have no health problems though. You can go to ehealthinsurance.com and compare rates for private insurance if you're interested.
Is there an MDI private board? There used to be 1 long ago, but
I don't know if it still exists. Thanks.
Does TransTech have a private board? NM

Marie/private counsel
I do have private counsel because I own a business. However, it is not at all necessary to use a lawyer for something like this. All she has to do is to to the IRS website, read the information about IC classification, and call the local office for an appointment. She should bring a copy of her contract (if any) with the company and just tell them what is happening. The IRS is pretty savvy and will likely take it from there. Many MTs feel powerless. There is really a lot we can do for ourselves. Many MTSOs will take advantage. (There are also many, many good ones as well.) My bottom line is that I myself would have my attorney or CPA make the call; but an attorney is not necessary for this. All it would take would be one report and the IRS would be on that MTSO like white on rice.
There is no private company board. nm

Thank you all for private email and posts
Thank you all for the private email and the posts here. Better to be informed. I need to stay where I am for the time being. Not ready to make the leap to voice recognition editing yet and, of course, other factors and problems that exist with All Type that I do not have where I am currently.
Thanks again.
There was a MT that was venting in regards to Transend on their private board sm
(it is automatically set up so if you enter you know who is posting . . name displayed)and the other employees and management was nasty as h++ so believe me I wouldn't post any thing on the private board negative. I have already resigned. I have a week left.
Just wondering if anyone answered the private doctor ad.....
and had contact? TIA
So they trust you with private medical info
What a rip. And how many of their employees have actually made off with one of their precious computers that they have to stick you with a deposit? I think they're just trying to cover their training costs.
You could get a private plan through BSBS for1/3 of that, unless
you have pre-existing conditions. I would go that route though if you don't and then you can change jobs all you want w/o worrying about insurance. We pay less than $400/mo for family coverage, including drug card, dental, and vision. Not the best coverage but we're never sick so it works for us.
Spheris has a private board where we can complain. SM
It won't help, but we can copmlain. Also, supervisors are quite helpful.
Seems communication at Transtech is lacking in some way.
You can easily find private insurance for
a family for a reasonable price compared to what most transcription companies charge and then you aren't tied to a job because of insurance.
It's only censorship when the government does it, not private individuals..nm

Replies - You can get private insurance for half
that amount. I don't understand why people think their company has to provide insurance. If you have pre-existing conditions opens may be limited and you may need company insurance, but otherwise you can get a private policy much cheaper, probably better coverage, and then you can leave any job you want because your aren't tied to it because of the insurance.
What info is in that email that is confidential or private?
I think you are right. If she truly wanted to thank Mary, a private email would be sm
more appropriate. As for enlightening us, what did she share other than they are nice and organized? Woohoo ... that won't butter my bread. Nothing about pay, which they are appaerntly is so pathetically low, they are too embarrassed to admit to on here.
No thanks. As the saying goes, I just got rid of my cow, so I don't need your bull.

Fatcat...I sent you a private email earlier..sm
and am not sure you got it, but my basic question was that the jobs I am being offered are about 8 cents or 9 cents VBC as an IC or employee. After 30 years in MTing I hate to take such a paycut, but I don't want to be turning down jobs if that is the best I can hope for! In your experience in job searching was that about the rate you were encountering? You can email me privately if you like. Thank you!
