complaints and so many MTs quit that these 2 ladies may have gone as far as they can. I think it is already getting there. No one wants to work with them anymore or cares if the works is done or not. You can only push people so far and that is all they will take and it is obvious that has already happened with Amherst.

That happened to me one time.......
I worked for a doctor for a while and the last year I worked for him I only worked from Jan. thru March of that year. At the end of the year (once his office had closed due to him moving to a diff. state) I received a 1099 saying that I had made like 50 thousand dollars in those 3 months doing his transcription!!! I tried EVERYTHING to fight it but they didn't give me check stubs, only a regular written check and I didn't have copies of them. I FINALLY contacted the doctor's wife and told her that was incorrect and she said she didn't fill out the 1099 that the book-keepers had and it was RIGHT! I told her had I made 50 grand in 3 months then I would have moved to whatever state they relocated to and continued to do their transcription for that kind of money, but in the end I owed the IRS LOTS of money that I am STILL trying to pay back! It was ridiculous!
Yuppers, happened many a time as well.
Getting on my soap box, I've said time and again that this is due, in large part, to the internet. If these recruiters, supervisors, happy HR people had to see us FACE TO FACE, I bet the nice treatment would go on at least a tad longer. Instead, they woo us like we were the BEST MT they have ever had the luck to run across, no matter how long it takes to get us to commit or sign those papers, and then....WAM, BAM, THANK YOU MAAM. Right? And they can just vanish behind their curtain, like the great Oz, and ignore their phones and emails and whatever. Believe me, its not us, they have just moved on to the next victim. Again, the old question I ask myself over and over is, how do they sleep at night? Ach well, off I go to bed, after I take my AMBIEN-CR. 
What happened to my post? The last time I checked in, there were no responses. sm
I had asked which companies did not require working Saturday or Sunday. Thanks for your help!
Ya know wat? At this point in time, I would rather
see the ENTIRE MT INDUSTRY crumble and cease to exist, which would mean losing my job and having to change careers, than see it continue on for even one more year the way it's been going. It's shady, it's ruthless, and it takes advantage of not only its workers, but the patients who have no clue what is happening to their private medical information.
At that point in time they didn't have a

Going from MQ at this point in time to Spheris is like jumping from the sm
frying pain into the fire. Don't go there!!!!!!!
I wonder how other companies' plans compare at this point in time? sm
Not sure how long you've been with Wbx but this plan seems comparable to what we had previously; however, I know we are all paying more out of pocket - probably for every single plan at every company -in the last 1-2 years.
Dental - I still think it is a good plan but then I haven't needed a root canal.
agree! and when you point the finger at others? time for therapy.

I think they are in New Jersey. nm

Not sure how it is now, but they were in New Jersey sm
and required you to fly there to train. They hired full-time only, and paid some weird way, like by the page or something. Could be different now ... this was several years ago.
Good luck!
Only 1 in New Jersey
There is only one DocuMed in New Jersey. It's located in Lakeside. Please trust me on this one. You do not want to work for these people.
How is the weather in New Jersey about now.

And how is the weather in New Jersey now for you too.

In New Jersey, from what I understand...
but, honestly, I'm not completely sure.
New Jersey last I knew. nm

Med-Scribe out of New Jersey --
I'm thinking of responding to an ad from them.
DocuMed of New Jersey
I worked for them briefly during a slow period with my main service. The work they gave me was great, their pay rate was commensurate with my experience, and everyone I dealt with in their office was very helpful and friendly.
Med-Scribe - New Jersey
Has anyone worked with the Med-Scribe in New Jersey? If so, what do you know about them?
Thanks!
All Type in New Jersey
If you have good or bad things to say about this company, would like to hear what they are. Thanks for your time.
All Type New Jersey
I love All Type, I''ve worked with them for almost a year now and I have had nothing but a good experience. Everyone has been helpful, I love the DocQScribe platform. In my experience those who post nasty or rude comments about a company are those who didn't meet the level of quality that a company requires. I work for two different companies and both of them have been professional and each have good and bad things, but mostly good. I would be cautious of those who post mean-spirited posts on this site. I hope you find the perfect fit for you. .
Yes, I agree with calling New Jersey
What has happened is that P and M have a lot more authority than they are capable of handling. for example, I know of an MT whose son was killed in a car accident. For obvious reasons during the funeral and shortly thereafter she could not make her lines, they threatened to cut off her health insurance, single mom. That one broke my heart and I knew I had to leave.
Does Spheris off-shore? Do they have a New Jersey
nm
Nope, don't live in Jersey
That would be a really long trip for me to pick up equipment. It would be nice if they would mention that in their job posting. Oh well ... thanks.
Anyone hear of Cornerstone in New Jersey?
They have a job listing on MTJobs that sounded pretty good. I need information from someone who has dealt with them before, though.
Thanks
silent type...have to go to New Jersey...nm
I think that is ridiculous and outdated!!!
Advanced Medical Transc. New Jersey - sm
Anyone know anything about this place. Saw an old post to stay away. Anything current?
Took the test and heard from them within 1 hour wanting to hire me. Lady hard to hear, lots of background noise, very weird test, undecipherable phone number. Wondering if I should even bother with all these red flags.
I just spoke with a company from New Jersey today...sm
Rude was not the word for this recruiter...My goodness, makes me think that is the norm in New Jersey. geez!!!
Any current information on Med-Scribe (New Jersey)
Just wondering if anyone currently works there or knows anything about them. Thanks
I believe that the Medscribe out of Florida is a different company than the one out of New Jersey
but I could be wrong... I applied with the one out of New Jersey and there never seems to be anything on here about them, which to me is a good sign. This was for an Dictaphone account also.
Look up the area code, they are located somewhere in Jersey...nm
xxxxxxxxxxx
Well if it is Amherst stick together and all of you call New Jersey. I did and a lot of people in my
office did and I dont know if it did any good or not but when I talked to New Jersey I got the distinct impression that were getting a lot of calls. They were very grouchy for sure. Dont just sit back and take it or nothing will change for you. There QA plan is so abusive it should be thrown out. You wouldnt believe the things they take off for to make sure you dont get QA points. They are a very very abusive office and it seems as though they like to make people miserable so it seems they must be very miserable women. You know, misery loves company.
Documed Medical Transcritpions, LLC out of New Jersey...anyone with info?
Does anyone have any personal information about Silent Type, Inc out of New Jersey, or
Van Belkum out of Michigan? I posted on w/e, when not many on the board. Will try again. Thank you.
Trans-Scribe out of New Jersey... any info on this company?
cc
NJPR is in NJ, not NY, stands for North Jersey Physicians Review I believe,
try googling for a web page, I am quite sure they have one, you can the info and I think a phone number there to call.
Any recent info about Cornerstone Professional Services of New Jersey??
Would love to hear some very RECENT information about this company, regarding staff, pay rate, workflow, ease of platform, etc. Only found old information in archives. If you don't want to share on the board, please email me. Thanks for your help.
Excellent point, and point in case
look at the charlatan christian in the
Whitehouse who uses religion to push his agenda...
Christian IS as Christian DOES...
I understand your point, my point is why can't MTs and QA work together..
being QA doesn't mean you are above everyone else, you are just an extra set of ears...and why do so many MTs take offense to QA??? That is my point...you made have had bad experiences in the past with QA but not all QA are bad...
Actually, I can see your point AND the opposing point
.
I did that, but nothing happened
I have a scroll mouse, but font is still same size. Appreicate the tip, though...never knew that one.
Thanks for posting!
What had happened was, sm
I've known Linda for over a decade now. In the timeline of the article, which is during the time that I've known her, I've only known of Executive Secretarial Services. In many other interviews and articles, she's plainly stated about changing her goals and target market, hence the name change to ExecuScribe to reflect that she's not just a secretarial service. The ESS name can't attract MT clients, and she wanted to open herself up to that market. The articles and a conversation we had both reflect the same.
I think that all of this is a tragedy. This happened 15 years ago and for the RBJ to be rehashing all of this doesn't serve any constructive purpose whatsoever. What it will do is hurt Linda, her clients, her staff, and the community, which could very well trickle down to the MTSOs in our area. She paid her dues and it should have been left alone. The RBJ staff writer was wreckless and irresponsible in bringing this to the forefront. What I can't figure out is how all of this started in the first place, i.e., what made RBJ investigate into their past?
Rochester is dying and has been for years. We have no major or attractive employers anymore except for SMH and the non-degreed positions there are only a tad over minimum wage. Over half of the city population lives in poverty-like conditions and we have one of the highest murder rates in the country. On a national level, she did bring Rochester some recognition and she also provided local jobs.
Again, I think all of this is a mess. You have to admit that Linda's a tough one though. In the article, it stated that she made an "impassioned plea," but it was only ONCE and that was it. She didn't grovel. She's kept her self-respect intact. She's smart and she's also very savvy. She'll pick herself up and dust herself off and go about business. What she did build is very impressive, as have all local MTSOs, which I've had the pleasure of meeting in the past decade.
A lot of people are going to get hurt from this because of careless journalism. The mighty always fall the hardest. I don't think that any of us should rejoice in another's hardship.
this happened at my last job
People were staying up all night working,by the time 8 a.m. rolled around...no work...soooo frustrating for those of us who sleep at night. Had to get away from that, plus the boss had favorites that got all the cake work and the rest of us were stuck struggling with whattever was left over...definitely not an even distribution of work. I asked my boss about it, but of course, I was being crazy....
happens to all... happened to me
But i only was for 2 weeks.
Oh no! Not you too me2!! IT happened to me, too:)
Sorry, but that struck me as funny saying you2 me 2, happened to me2.
Something that has happened to me lately at MDI
I will dial in and get the no more reports message. A few minutes later I will dial in and start getting reports from the night before or whatever, dictated obviously before the last time I dialed in. My question is - where were those reports the first time I dialed in? Do they transfer them off of the hospital system onto MDI's system and maybe they weren't transferred yet? Just puzzles me when that happens and it's happened several times lately.
I'm sorry this happened to you. If it were me, sm
I would resign to keep my record clean, and try like heck to get another job but this time in a hospital or clinic and get my production skills up. If you try and get another job at home (I'm under the assumption you might be a newbie), this could happen again. You don't need that.
As for unemployment payments, I doubt you could get them if you resigned. You'd be better off getting another job right away.
Good luck! I hope things work out for you.
It has happened to me too
Sort of the same thing happened to me as well, right before Christmas, different company though. I had been told prior by someone that my accuracy was at 99%; only to be told by someone different that I was being fired because my quality had gone down over the last few pay periods, but what is odd, is I never got any type of feedback. 
I am still relatively new to this profession--having only graduated in June of 2005. I had also contacted my supervisor and asked how well I was doing prior to the firing, only to be told that I was doing great, and to keep up the good work. Then be e-mailed--not called--but e-mailed stating that I had been terminated effective immediately. That was the worst time to be fired from a job because NO ONE hires right before Christmas, and I am still trying to find another place.
Good luck to you 
This happened to me.
Go to a different branch of your bank and this time DON'T tell them that you had your passcode with the card. They can look up where the money was withdrawn and they will reimburse you (my bank did). Then go to the police and they will send an officer with you to go to the bank wherever the money was withdrawn. A report will be made out and they will check the surveillance tape to see who it was, as long as that ATM has cameras.
Good luck to you! Dont' give up on this. 
This is not what happened to me (sm)
Maybe it depends on the account, but I log off whenever I want a break. I don't have to stay on the entire 8 hours straight. Demographics didn't have to be filled in. They were already there. The only time I have to type anything on demographics is when there is a change, or I have to do a seach for the correct admission.
What ever happened to DSG? Are they still around?
nm
This also happened to me at my last job...sm
Even when I said something...i was crazy and when my line count dropped they wondered why. They actually accused me of not working up to my potential in order to get benefits for my disabled son, well not acused, asked me if that was what was up. No, it wasn't....I left shortly after that last insult.
If I were you...I would most definitely say something and keep saying something or ask for a difficultly premium or something. It is unfair in my opinion.
