Sorry Wendy I meant to post another Wendy
Sorry.
WHAT A HYPOCRITE YOU ARE WENDY!
How nasty. I didn't start any name calling. You just did. You should practice what you preach. Now, Wendy, go to Wendy's and get a burger and Frosty and chill out.
Well said, Wendy - Bravo
Thanks, Wendy, I never knew that.
Oh, I think Wendy fills in as
an acting manager when it's crazy. But Debbie would be the one for this situation. She and the techs will get you up and running just as soon as they humanly can. They really do need you. :o)
Why Wendy? She is only QA, right? I don't think she has the powers that you giving her.
Debbie or account manager would make more sense to contact -- not a QA person!!!!!!!
Wendy....Post a bit harsh
Maggie, your post was a bit harsh. Yes there are those who whine and complain, but a lot comes with experience to include whining and complaining. As well, you really do not know what financial situation an MT may be experiencing. While, I agree with most of what you state, I find that you lack compassion for those who may not have the experience and knowledge that you do. I cannot say enough about the mentors/teachers I have had along the way. I had only one bad experience over the past 16 years working at home as an MT.. I have found work that may not be a good fit for the company or for me, software that is not productive for MTs (which can be cumbersome, time consuming, and frustrating), companies selling to another company, companies going out of business, losing business, etc., etc. I have considered all an experience that has contributed to the work I do. As well, without a doubt, you can have the greatest work ethic, but if your work for someone who does not share the same work ethic, or value the fact that you are generating money for them as well as yourself, what is it truly worth? Be kind, be gentle to those that whine and complain and perhaps your shared experience will provide growth for another MT.
They are so busy! I would shoot Deb or Wendy an email

Thanks Wendy! You've helped alot! (nm)

I know I made over $60K as a QA manager. An MT manager
I am told is less money but definitely NOT as low as $36,500. I would not do it for $36,500.
The majority that I hear and see (and many are not advertised) are around $45K. You are giving yourself away for that. You might be working for a company that I received an offer from at one time. Great people but could not afford to work for that kind of money. Way too low to be on call 24/7.
When it's real busy and Deb can't take care of stuff, I think Wendy helps out (she is in offic

Former QA Manager
your "former nurse" is inaccurate. This person was a great manager. She was a valuable assest to the dept. in that position. Any company would be lucky to have her.
As a former QA Manager....
I often said, only slightly in jest, that a full psychiatric eval would be a total GODSEND. Unless you've been on the receiving end of MTs who can't accept that diagnosing an 83-year-old female patient with AIDS (dictated "of advanced age"), is WRONG, then....welll.... (She claimed that she knew as much as ANY doctor, so who was I to suggest that she was wrong?)
And then there's the MT who believed that it was her first amendment right to transcribe whatever she liked because, dangnabit, she was a doctor in a 3rd world foreign country in a former lifetime...and threatened lawsuits because she was smarter than ANYONE else, so couldn't be touched by anything with white genetics...
Believe me. Psych tests aren't a bad idea.
No, not the manager.
Those were the responses I got when I asked about the sign on bonus. I was trying to dig up their old ads. You are right about the headers and footers too. My paycheck was short almost $500.
Re: manager
I'm not the person you were asking, but the person I'm pretty sure you're referring to is still there as of now, so guess it wasn't her. In fact, she seems to be handling it quite well.
Ops Manager
Do you mean the owner or someone else? I guess I have stayed under the radar so far. C
Have you tried to tell anyone about it? Such as your manager or sm
the Solution Center? They trouble-shoot issues like this all the time. Oh and don't blame the platform - it could indeed be caused by your routed or your ISP. I've been with them for 8+ years and no major platform problems.
All I know is that my first manager
told me that medical transcriptionists have always been job hoppers, always looking for a better deal, and that was back in 1990-something. It was after that that MQ came on the scene and started changing the industry for the worse IMO.
OSi manager job
Hi. I've been an MT with them for a while, and it IS as bad as people say it is, but an account manager position has come open and I'm thinking about selling my soul to the devil. (Sorry--I'm poor, and as anyone knows who has typed for them, the second I start making money, they add 15-trillion more hospital accounts for me to try to learn, slowing me way down.)
Does anybody know how much an account manager position with them might PAY and whether it requires RELOCATION? Neither of these crucial points are mentioned in their job ad. I'd ask them directly but I think I've been a thorn in the side of some of the higher-ups, though maybe not the ones I'd need to get along with, so I don't want to make myself known just yet. Anybody know? Thanks.
Who is the ops manager?

Not the Manager
I could bet you anything that you NEVER had an issue with the Manager. There are two people we report to, a supervisor and a manager. Yes, the supervisor can be a bit abrasive at times but as long as you stick to your schedule, produce your line counts and maintain your quality, normally nothing is said to you. One always has the right to go to the Manager if there is something that cannot be resolved.
If there are QA inconsistencies, there is a QA Challenge Program. I have had errors removed and I have also had them stick.
I have transcribed for over 15 years and I have never found a better company. I believe there are a lot more happier MTs than there are unhappy MTs at Axolotl.
They are able to offer us such good benefits and line rates because Axolotl is known for their quality. They are truly different than any other National company and/or in-house company/hospital, that I have worked for.
No, I'm not the manager! (nm)
I do currently work for Milner, and I'm happy here, but not everyone has the same experiences with companies.
Talk to your manager about it first of all. Then...
...if that doesn't work, most companies, depending on how much they are hiring, can find you a spot if they want you bad enough.
Sometimes recruiters are really restricted on what they can hire for, but if there are a lot of openings to fill I can hire a M-F person if it's a deal breaker and I absolutely don't want to lose them.
However, it doesn't happen often, the person typically has to have a spotless track record and reputation in the field, and they possibly will have to fit into a potentially difficult-to-fill niche (oncology or very high ESL, for example), but it's not unheard of.
Good luck!
Why would hiring be better with a new HR manager? The HR manager should not do the hiring. sm
The recruiter should hire. The HR manager should do the job of any normal HR manager and make sure the legal issues are done, benefits, etc. A recruiter is the hiring personnel. The HR manager is to do the inside job of human resources. That should make no difference other than with the benefits.
Yes the operating manager
is nasty and they want you committ to them but they will not committ to you.
BIG 3rd on the operations manager! sm
She is as nasty as they come. Sweet as sugar until you have worked there for a little while. I REALLY suggest you stay away. They don't value their employees in any way.
What manager did you e-mail?
I have had nothing but excellent feedback from Lee Perfect training manager. She replies to my e-mails all of the time. I received my foot pedal in three business days. This sounds very strange what you are going through because I did not experience it whatsoever.
Awful HR manager
Jim with Zylomed offered me a job and told me he would send me my papers. I waited and waited and no papers. I e-mailed him and called him and he totally ignored me. How unprofessional is that. Company definitely sounds screwed up just like most national companies these days. This career is really making me depressed with so much crap we have to put up with! Any others experiencing this?
The ortho manager IS the BEST!
Best manager (and company) I've worked for in over ten years.
Is this from the wonderful OSi QA manager?
This is what I would expect from her.
Has TT lost the QA manager?
?
I'm in agreement, but how bad of a manager
3 jobs. How on earth would they even be able to manage anything? I would have to assume that management is nonexistent for the people under that manager at those companies!
My lead at TTS is a manager at
a different company too. She hasn't been at TTS long but can never be found either.
Yep and where else will you find a manager who.....
works weekends and actually responds in a timely manner?
Why do you stay then? I am sure that if you went to your manager sm
you would get your issues resolved. If someone promised something, go to Edited by Moderator. They will make sure that it is followed through. Being miserable and negative will only hurt your mood and productivity. Have them fix it or find somewhere else that makes you happy. I left MQ after many years to work for KS and am very happy. I have been there a while now though, and go straight to Edited by Moderator to get something I need. That's her job and she is happy to do anything for anyone.
Yes, but I was only paid $16 when I was a manager and I sm
went back to MT. It is not unusual for me, even at 8 cents a line, to make $30 an hour. When I was managing, I had just had a small stroke and my hands and head were not connected properly, but that was temporary. (When it did finally come back, it was much better than it had been before.)
I could not tell you why managers are paid so little, or why MTs are paid so little either. The only way that MTs make big bucks is with speed and as a manager, you have no way to increase your income.
Most likely you're a manager
because if you're an MT, your sentence structure and your grammar are terrible!
Yes, contact your manager s/m
Call him/her or e-mail, just tell them you would like a back-up account. When I did this, I was training on the new account by the next day. I now have 2 accounts, and rarely run out of work, seems like one or the other always has some. If I get to where both are running out, I'll ask for another.
Why don't you ask your manager to train you - sm
at least as a backup- on one of the accts they are hiring for? The reason they have ads out is that they have new accounts coming on all the time; current MTs cannot fill all the spots (think midnight shift, weekends, etc) and that's why they still look for other MTs.
OSI is not small but the QA manager
She spells words wrong and can't construct a prooper sentence sometimes. She doesn't have to QA reports so we just ignore this.
Which one? My STM (manager) just told us sm
yesterday that we have 2 big accounts starting soon; the one in June is affiliated with a large west coast-based hospital group.
Good manager, only downside would be
that you have to remember quite a few rules depending on what doc is dictating. Pretty good normals. Pretty good company. Good luck!
And, no, I don't work there anymore, so I'm not one of the Webmedx managers or cheerleaders. lol! Just stating what I've heard from friends who are in radiology nowadays.
We know for a fact that at least one manager posts here
with her real name when she was posting links to articles or things to do with legislation of medical records and outsourcing overseas. Not saying that she uses her name every time or is involved in every conversation about Transcend, but we know for a fact that she posts here and reads the boards occasionally. So, I agree 100% with what you're saying.
Depends on the manager. DVS is notorious for it.

Do you think your transcription manager might have some answers?

It really depends on who your account manager was - sm
There is one account manager there who is a b****! And that is when she is having a good day!! She switches people all over the place. There were other account managers that were GREAT and helpful. When I worked for them, I actually had two accounts that I worked on, and I can honestly say that I had very little ESL on both accounts, and the ESL that I did have were really not that bad.
NOT TRUE !!! I was a manager at a company that sm
was sued (and lost $450,000) because of a limb that was taken incorrectly based on the transcription. The hospital lost $2.8 million, the doctor $4.2 million and the transcription company $450,000. This was due to the fact that the transcription said one thing and the voice was gone so there was no proof of what had been said.
That error is partly responsible for the hospitals having the patient verify the limb and putting the x on it with the patient still awake and alert.
It was 14 years ago and I would not recommend a service to go without E&O and liability insurance, especially as the public is more sue-happy now than they were even back that short period ago.
Is it out of line to ask to speak to an MT manager
strictly on what the recruiter says? I'm not saying the recruiter is always deliberately deceptive; they may just know some job specifics. I've had two false starts in six months and I'm very gun shy at this point.
NOt the owner, the ops manager for transcription
