Companies do not realize how important communication is.
The company I work for is absolutely the worst, but I have been there long enough that I can just go ahead on my own. But we don't even know who is working in the office or anything that is going on in that chaotic world. And never rely on the team leaders to keep you informed because they either don't know or won't tell. The situation did not improve when they were bought out, either.
Why don't these companies realize that good sound quality is
essential for transcribing. If the big bosses had to listen to the scratches and static for hours on end, day after day, maybe this wouldn't happen, but most of them don't even know what a foot pedal and headset are. I find that the sound quality from the internet files are far worse than anything I ever encountered on DVI, C-phone, or Lanier systems telephone systems.
Only good thing I have heard lately is that a friend of mine, also an MT recently filed for disability based on hearing loss and/or inability to hear the files that she was required to do and won the case for total disability. She does have some hearing loss, but when she took her computer to the hearing and dialed in and had the adjudicator listen, there was no question that she would never be able to continue in this line of work. Maybe a few more workman comp cases would wake them up.
do you realize how many companies outsource without the client even knowing?..sm
an extremely high number. Do you think they can get away with this..absolutely. They advertise that the are U.S. based and higher some U.S. MT's and the majority of the work goes overseas. Wake up people, it's called business. It may not be proper, but these large companies are cut throat, particularly the overseas companies. They have struck a gold mine and they know it. Sad part is, they will always find U.S. MTs to keep the company afloat. Without the U.S. MT's busting their rears to produce quality work, these companied would fail. Why can't anyone get this? Ladies (and gentlemen), do not work for any transcription company who outsources work out of the country. Otherwise, this buyout situation will continue, and before you know it, there will be virtually no large U.S. transcription companies left. Unfortunately, we will only have ourselves to blame. Don't be an enabler!
Surely companies realize everyone is always "looking". I am sure even management checks the o

Didn't realize it was catty to realize that from 1/18 to 1/25 is a week and nothing happened. sm
Thanks for being supportive and kind.
Why do some companies think 8 cpl is GREAT
When you are an IC. I have been offered 2 positions as an IC at 8 cpl. When asked about the pay, they have explained that I will have good accounts, but also must set a schedule. Is 8 cpl as an IC with a set schedule sound good? I have 3 years acute care experience and did not realize when my job was outsourced this was what I could look forward to making. After paying taxes, this is only around 6 cpl.
The companies think it's great because THEY sm
don't need to live on that kind of chump change.
I don't think there are any great companies sm
One of the reasons I didn't go with Webmedx was because of the low pay. I passed both tests, oral and transcription, with flying colors but was still offered a rate below 9 cents a line which is less than I make now. I do acute care and have decades of experience.
Some of the posters who aren't happy with Webmedx are current employees. There are complaints from every company. There seems to be a common theme. Low pay, low work, work going to ASR.
I don't plan to leave where I am until someone can offer more than I make now. I don't think that will ever happen. I also haven't run out of work since Christmas and even then it was only for about an hour.
The main thing Webmedx has that I was interested in is the 12 hour window. That isn't enough for me to leave where I am now.
YAY .. see there ARE great companies out there! n/m
n/m
The happy MTs at the great companies
are to busy working to post on the board, that's why you see all the negative. You see I'm on here, wondering the same thing myself!
Both are great companies to work for.
xx
Great... *** is wrong with these companies? Ugh..nm
Which companies out there have great ortho accounts??
I would like to find a company that has a lot of ortho..It's my first love. Any suggestions??
Others will post that work for these companies, there are some great
people that post on this board, you just have to overlook a few. Unfortunately I do not work at any of these companies, otherwise I would be glad to give you any information needed. Good luck though!
I guess I have been lucky to have worked for 3 great companies. The only problem with the 2 before
is that they both were sold to companies that were not U.S. only and I refuse to work for any company the sends work offshore.
I am happy at Keystrokes and know that others are too. I have gotten everything promised to me, even though I must admit that I do not ask for much. I just want to do my work and leave my desk when done and then get paid for what I did.
I hope you find a great company that fits your needs. It must be horrible to be burnt enough times that you have to doubt everyone. I feel like that in my love life (divorced 3 times).
Let's hear from the MTs that love their companies, their jobs and have a great line count
I love where I work, happy with line count, happy with earning potential. Love being an MT and working at home. You???
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

I think you all need to realize
That MDI would not have never been created if not for Liz and Sue McGrogan....remember this is a company that they built from scratch. So without Sue's input MDI would not be what it is today. Kudos for her and the $$$ her business has made over the years. I don't care where you work you are not going to be able to please EVERYONE all of the time. It just doesn't work that way...Oh and by the way...I am not management and I don't even work for MDI...I work for hospital in Florida.
Maybe you need to realize that they
most likely had to sell out because of their poor management abilities! Management is where all the troubles lie!
I'm sure you realize...
...that much of what I said was tongue in cheek, as there really AREN'T questions that will identify someone who has a personality problem. Unless, or course, the person is severely troubled and is speaking tangentially, or is using word salad, or has flight of ideation. I've come to realize that grandiosity is an uncommon, but workable trait in some MTs. Lol....
I appreciate your thoughts and wisdom on the topic. Hopefully others will begin to recognize that, short of tests that are designed to help identify problems, there isn't anything a recruiter can do to weed out the problem folks. To infer that there is someone bigger and better than a recruiter ("the MTSO")to accomplish this isn't going to be easy, or cost-effective.
Don't you realize..........sm
that many of these posts are from MTs who have experienced your hiring process nightmares first hand? You only make it worse for your company by coming on this board and calling us liars.

I don't think most realize that you don't have
to be consistent. I stick with it consistently.
It's not that hard to make this money. You're right - don't work for peanuts. Find the line rate you need.
It can still pay well if you're good at this work. Some people just aren't as good as others.
Thank you. I now realize that I am being
paid for links. Just did not know what they were exactly. I have been counting them as separate reports so I guess the end result regarding pay is the same.
I realize that, I was just saying...sm
There were companies I worked for that didn't require me to send invoices because I know that if the IRS were to question them, all they have to do is show them the contract that I signed as an IC and it saves their butts. I wasn't disputing.
Not sure if you realize...
but the 7th was a Sunday. Of course you were paid on the 8th.
I don't work for Cardioscribes, so it's really none of my business, but you're making yourself look pretty bad here. Banks aren't open on Sunday for DD, and mail doesn't run on Sunday...so you do the math there.
You might not appreciate it, but do you realize that
every day there are people wondering how they are going to feed their kids, that people are losing their houses, and $100 would be a major blessing to them.
You have to realize there is more than 1
Medscribe, none related.
I think once you get into it you'll realize just
how little med-speak you know. I have always soaked up anything medical, starting in junior high and terminology came very easy to me, but I have been in this business 20 years and I still learn new info all the time. I may learn a new piece of equipment or new drug, or have a doctor from a different part of the country and he may use different terminology, not necessarily new, but new to me. I may have a day go by where I don't have to look up anything, but I rarely have 2 days that I don't.
The speed will come with practice. I barely passed typing in junior high and never really typed aftewards until I started in this profession. If I had to take a typing test where I had to type from a book I'd fail, but I can fly when typing dictation.
I didn't realize there was such a
company where everyone is happy and no negative comments. Point me in the right direction - I certainly would appreciate it.
You need to realize that about 80 pc of the docs sm
practicing acute care in this country are ESL. It is what it is.
I like them a lot better than the native English speakers, who slur words, like to play with the language. ESLs learn one way to say it, and they say it that way every time. You just have to get used to it.
You have to realize that there are some people that you cannot sm
make happy no matter what you do and that those same people take their negative selves to the boards and attack their latest company. It IS two-sided. MTSOs have as many problems with MTs as MTs do with MTSOs, but we are supposed to just sit back and be attacked without voice.
There are some people who have miserable lives and like to spread their poison everywhere they go. The problem is that they seem nice and normal when being hired and then their true self shines through within days or weeks.
glad you realize
what I am talking about. I worked on it for 2 weeks. I gave it my best shot. My Expander was loaded. The account was super-easy, but Meditech ran so slow I was typing faster than it could run and I was typing a word, pausing, typing a word, pausing. I have worked on more than 50 accounts in my career and 10 or so different software systems. I can say, without exaggeration, I would not work on that particular account if they offered me $25/hr salary. I was so stiff with tension at the end of the day I walked like Frankenstein.
Thanks, I didn't realize there were so many. nm
Bet I realize who this company is - sm
Someone on here did that to me too, was back and forth, back and forth, had a confusing pay scale, just had another ad on the boards this past week. Don't want to say too much here because I KNOW they come here although it is not a well known place.
If it is the same place, I'd say run because I think the problem is just total chaos and disorganization - nothing to be a part of.
While I realize we all need a Plan B, I mean...
the same thing? Maybe we should broaden our horizons elsewhere? Anyone else thinking this way? Break out of the mold...you know??
that was nice of you, I did not realize
you would do that.
Oh they realize, and they were the first ones I contacted
XX
I realize...I just want a job that has a ton of work that
I can do as I please. There is one company I've been hearing about that has a ton of work and will let me go part-time, which helps (since I have a current job as well). I have little kids, it's just so hard...not what it used to be.
MODERATOR.......I realize all sm
opinions should be welcome here, but LMAO is just cruel beyond words. Are these the kind of posts that mtstars really want on here? Just cruelty to people who are down and out?
LMAO poster is a very cruel and scary poster. If you have any sympathy at all, could you please stop her?
Now I truly realize with that statement
Brillant, hehe. Associating with the group that is having those infamous tea parties- now the postings make sense taking up for her. I get it. What kind of nuts do you like?
Thank you. You're very savvy to realize
that if you are new you need support before venturing out on your own.
This thread has certainly made me realize how fortunate I am. I was pleasantly surprised today to inquire as to why I am getting per-paycheck incentive and not quarterly SE bonuses. They told me I get both. The incentives on production (up to 2 cpl) are on my checks and that I will get a quarterly bonus as well. Kinda of shocked me. I feel really lucky and I think that will help me stay motivated and keep at it.
I appreciate your positive note. Sounds like you'll be right up there with the best before too long. Then I can say, "I knew her when..."! LOL
I didn't realize it was the "law" to
board. And besides, Jayne may not even be your name.
The law suit is going just fine by the way, and we will get our pay owed to us, it is not just me in on this.
You do realize what MQ is doing right now is exactly what Spheris does. I still think they may drop
SE but hope not but Spheris does not have IC or SE so if there is a plan in the works MQ may just have employees.
I think people don't realize those records are THEIRS
They are YOUR medical records. My sister is a nurse, and I used to work for a medical malpractice attorney, and I was amazed at the errors I would see in the MR. Plus, my sister says - those records are yours. You are entitled to view your medical records any time you want. You can't view someone else's, but you surely can view yours, and NEED to view them for accuracy every once in awhile. When we moved recently, and my husband was given his records to take with us to a new doctor, I was amazed at the sloppiness of the records. I loved our doctor, but considering the fact that her staff took my husband's history, and listed he was allergic to Doxacillin (he is actually allergic to doxycycline) - made me think twice about whether or not I would ever return to that office. Pitiful.
I didn't realize that was a problem
Let me see if I can edit it. Thanks for the tip-off.
I realize this also, but MOST newer computers..sm
do not even have the 15 pin serial ports (game ports) any longer. I had purchased a 15 pin game port pedal and used it less than 6 months because my sound card went out and I had to get a new one. I could not find ANY that had a 15 pin game port any longer and ended up having to buy a whole new pedal (usb) in order to work. USB is what is mostly used these days. If she needs a 15 pin footpedal I will gladly sell her mine... been there and did that.
Sorry. Didn't realize would be intrepreted like that but you are right.

u do realize there are more than 2 platforms they work off of
I am a newbie there. Clarity runs out of work but the 3.8 and something else doesnt. They wont train me on the 3.8 because it is more easy to make money. I think they are transitioning all to Clarity. If they do they are screwed unless they get the exterminator in, there are more bugs in this system then I have ever seen
Yes, I realize that, but until the termination letter comes, I don't really
