Am I reading your posts wrong...
are you looking for a company who pays for down time hoping that you will have down time and not have to transcribe for 8 hours???
I do work for Axolotl and they pay more per hour for training and down time than any other company I have run across.
Also, just as an aside here, my experience with Axolotl has been very good all around. I have not had any supervisor or manager or QA be anything but professional, kind, helpful. That is my experience.
Also, some companies (not sure if Axolotl is one or not) will hire MTs and get them started BEFORE a new account starts. Yes, work dries up for everyone for awhile but after the new account starts everyone fits into their respective spots and there is plenty of work to go around for all. Some companies just work like that. Again, that is my own personal experience.

ADHI has never advocated for MTs. It is more like a Ponzi scheme to enrich its officers with dues and threats of licensure. I know many fine MTs who make well over 50K a year and have nothing to do with ADHI. So I am with you, who needs them?

You are gathering wrong. Lots of posts of people
This is like beating a way dead horse at this point. So many just can't follow the subject of posts. The poster you are responding to is stating the fact that this is JUST LIKE the fiasco that used to go on here regularly with Keystrokes, with management and owners freaking out at any perceived criticism and posting over and over and over defending the company, calling the MTs liars, fakes, whatever. Yes, it is exactly the same, and it shines a very negative light on the company name, worse than the original posting. It is very yucky to see companies posting on here. It does tend to validate the MTs who have complaints. Its just plain old weird.
I agree with you EmmaMT...
Storing the records and reports electronically doesn't mean we don't have to transcribe them, just means they are stored in a program, rather than on shelves or boxes...so it may do away with file techs but not transcriptionists...as for voice recognition, I don't know about you guys but most of my doctors I type for can't even pronounce regular English words corretly, let alone medications, et cetera...so we are a long way off from any perfection with voice recognition...
Georgie, how soon are you looking
I need a job that I can start immediately. I am an IC for a company that hasn't had work for me since the first week in December and need a job ASAP.
Hear/Here Georgie
Not to worry. I had one the other day, just typed what he said giver 50 mg. Even proofed it myself and did not catch it. lol
GEORGIE GIRL...
I do clinic notes too. Just curious how long you've been with your current company and how much experience you have? I'm getting ready to post mine. Thanks!
Still waiting for your response Georgie Poo
Let's hear it girlfriend. What gives? Maybe MTReviews.org doesn't even have any clients. Kinda hard to hire MTs when there are no clients. Or, do you expect us to send a resume as well as find you the client? Hmmmmmmmmm.
Some of us on this site have been around the block more than a few times.
Sorry, but I completely agree with Georgie.
And to you, pot/kettle. You tell her not to be rude & then proceed to call her a NASTY MISERABLE person... Oh the irony.
I work Sun-Thurs and Georgie needs social skills
I changed from Tues-Sat 1st shift to Sun-Thurs 3rd shift because I start Sunday evening and I am done with my shift on Fridays at 7:00 a.m. I have all day Saturday and Sunday to spend with my family.
Georgie, you are just a NASTY person. There is no reason to be so rude and condescending to others. I think you need to take some classes on social skills or get some counseling because you seem to be a pretty MISERABLE person.
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
You are wrong! Here is the ad. I got it too. There are no words spelled wrong and the caps are pa

SO WRONG
You are so wrong in your assumption! Although she is not with us anymore, the records need to be set straight. Shannon has over 10 years of medical transcription experience and typed on every account we have at MDI. You may have thought she didn't transcribe but that was because she was too busy typing on other accounts and doing the job she was hired to do which was to manage ALL of the accounts. So before you begin to drag Shannon into the line of fire, please do your research. She was hired to do a job which she did very well and she will be sorely missed.
Wrong, just someone who has to SM
work with people like you and is really tired of listening to the persecution complex. I'll bet you have the same problems with the job you have now, right?
Wrong again
Actually, it's y'all - for you all.
Ya'll is for you will.
The contraction divides the words.
WRONG!
Before you start cutting people down, why don't you do a little bit of research on your own? Flossie is not QA DIRECTOR. BS is QA Director. Flossie is QA MANAGER. There IS a difference. And she's a DAMN GOOD ONE at that!!!!
Wrong !!!
She is out of town.
Man, you are WAY out there -- WRONG.
If you're working for MQ, you're getting up to $50 a month DSL reimbursement, not $30.
YOU pay to update your computer??? How is that?
You'd be paying your electricity anyway, unless you live so frugally from the stoneage that you don't require electricity. If you're an SE, you can claim part of that on your tax filing -- if you have a designated room for an office. As well, you can claim any rental fees for equipment -- if you're an SE.
It's your job to make sure what you are typing is correct. Asking to be paid for researching what you are responsible for is as idiotic as saying you should be paid to run spellcheck. Geez.
Virtually every part of the demographic screen is filled in and they provide all the search tools for that. On occasion you MIGHT have to type a patient's name in. Get over your bad self.
If you want to be paid for actual time you spend regardless of how productive it is in lines, then you need a job with an hourly pay instead of production. That simply isn't how it is done. You don't like it? Get an hourly job. Don't like that? Get into a different line of work.
That is where you are wrong...
There are a lot of MTs employed at OSi, so where does this "me along with everyone else" come in to place. Oh, let me guess...you and all the other smart people? lol! too funny
Are you ever wrong about anything?
Opinions are always welcome...if they are not shoved down our throats. You make me choke.
What is wrong with you?
You obviously do not work for MQ and are very rude.
You are wrong
Nothing is paid for if you work out of Amherst MQ other than production time and PTO time. I was directly told that. No exceptions!
You are wrong.
I work for Diskriter and THEY DO pay for downtime. They have been more than fair with my pay. Do not post things that are not true, you are WRONG.
Wrong
I have worked as an Editor for a US company. I am not the owner of a MT company. I did an excellent job there and left because I chose to leave for a better opportunity. The US company where I worked had MT's call in sick daily, yet the HR person was constantly receiving emails from them about the possibility of a raise. They complained about not having enough work, yet when they were offered the opportunity to work on another account, they refused. I know that there are many quality US MT's who care about the level of quality of the work they produce. Yet there are many who are lazy and do not care about the quality of their work who constantly call in with excuses about why they can't work their shift. And US MT's (many of them) are constant job hoppers. MTSO's have a responsibility to provide their clients with a product. If they can't count on you to work your shift, you leave them with little choice.
My experience since working for a company who offshores has been totally opposite. These MT's are eager to work. They are meticulous about the quality of every report they produce. They are eager to improve their skills as an MT. They are all educated. It's amazing that they are able to produce work that rivals yours in quality and most often exceeds it when English is not their native language. You may not want to hear this, but the truth is the truth.
Don't take this the wrong way, but
I found more than 10 spelling and grammar errors in your post, and that didn't even take into consideration the punctuation errors. Granted, this isn't work so nitpicking isn't necessary. However, why should you make as much as the experienced transcriptionists who are doing the more difficult work without errors? I was at the second highest level at S. and was off QA in less than a week. I did ESL all day long and had three different accounts to learn in less than three weeks. I consistently produce 250 lines per hour on one of my accounts without an expander, 350-400 with the expander.
You tell us how fast and accurate you are, but you're not seeing the whole picture. You can either take on a more difficult account to get a higher line rate or start using an expander. Honestly, I wouldn't take on the more difficult account if it was my choice. You're better off typing faster and using the Expander on an easier account to make more money. Don't they offer an incentive plan for lines produced, too?
My bad. I was wrong.

Wrong, wrong, and very wrong.
All three of the first points are incorrect, won't even go into the rest because they're subjective. Please contact a recruiter for accurate information.
Don't get me wrong...they are very...
nice people. Unfortunately neither the owner nor office people have any MT experience, and all MTs are expected to not need QA. For a newibe that can make it very difficult. Without feedback it's impossible to know if you make an error, and you'll never know what your blanks were. That makes it very difficult to improve when there are never answers . . .
I could be wrong, but
somewhere sometime I read they outsource work to India or they are an Indian company fronting in the US. I can't seem to find that info right now.
i think actually you are wrong about that
whuzup w/you?
oh, get over it. nothing wrong with it.
lol
Wrong!
The MTSO is only paid about half of their normal line rate when quoting VR work. No increased profits.
You can say if I'm wrong, but I almost SM
feel like they might have thought you would be a high-maintenance MT? Okay, what I mean by that is this--did you have to call them a lot with technical problems? Were you able to operate the software without a problem or were you getting stuck in various reports? Was the work you did get to turn in good? Meaning no medical terminology errors, etc.? or did you leave a ton of blanks (even if you were just learning the account?
If it makes you feel any better, there have been a number of recent posts stating that Breitner owes some people money, so it is doubtful that you would be getting a regular paycheck with them anyway.
You are wrong
I dont know how you can speak for the industry but I know for a fact a person with a lot of influence in the industry read me off names of MTs to avoid. If that is not a list I dont know what is.
Wrong??? No way!
Peter Preziosi and other AAMT bigwigs openly admit that they are helping MT industries in other countries. This is not a secret. They are not even ashamed of what they do.
Wrong
I as a new MT other than working for one physician in OH. I had to take what i could get and as single mom of 3 myself one of which was diagnosed ped. bipolar and has been in and out of inpatient and we as a whole family have been through hell getting him the treatment he needs and DESERVES. I as a new MT jumped at the perks that Heartland had to offer adn the fact i have been able to home school my son with me working from home and at the drop of a hate it is all taken away to give jobs those who work for next to nothing. AS someone else said you get what you pay for. Yes it cost more for us than them, but I am sure the quailty of our work far better and better works, means happy clients and more work, which in the long run means profit. take the work overseas and get less quality and you get clients who are made and leave you butt behind. myself i carry the diagnoses of cardiomyopathy, left ventricular dysfunction, GERD, meniere's disease, and hypertension and I needed Heartland's insurance and many other great perks.
We as AMERICANS need to stop putting up with all of the jobs that we are losing to low paid people over seas. Big companies are killing the AMERICAN DREAM and we have to put a stop to it as a country.
Wrong!
Very good company to work for! Happy employees. The ones let go are ONLY let go because they refuse to stay in TAT. We get everyone a chance!
I was wrong! SM
I don't live in Tennessee (but my old company is based there), so I looked up their law on this, and here is what I found:
Tennessee Wage Regulation Act Title 50-2-101
What is the law concerning payment of final paychecks to employees?
Tennessee employees who are laid off, fired, or who quit must be paid their wages in full at the next regular payday, not to exceed 21 days from the date of their discharge or termination. Wages include vacation time earned by the employee. Claims against an employer for late payment may be filed with the Labor Standards Division. The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development has the authority to enforce this law. You may review this law at Tennessee Revised Statutes Title 50-2-103(g)
Oh well! LOL In the state where I reside, you have to pay your employees on their last day (if they give at least 3 days' notice), otherwise you have to pay them on the next business day!
Have a good weekend everyone!
No,that's wrong (sm)
I seriously doubt you would be expected to type more than one (maybe 2 with 1 as a backup) just because they have a new account. It is a well-run company and they want you to be familiar with 1 account so that you can make money; if you type a lot, they make more money as well. That's as it should be. The hospital you are inquiring about is a multi-specialty hospital. I've been there for almost a year and it's the best job I've had in years.
You could not be more wrong.
You do not know who I am, I have never posted that I did not check my line counts. In fact, the above post is the first one I have made regarding Breitner. People like me? You don't know me and you certainly don't know what kind of person I am. You are obviously not a professional or you would not resort to cheap personal potshots to try and make your point. Just because you could not make it at this company does not mean others can't. Face it, not everyone who worked for this company had the same experience you did. If they had, the company would have gone under a long time ago, because we would not be able to keep MTs. We have many long-term MTs, many of whom have been here as long as I have. Yes, they love people like us...people who show up for their shifts and produce while they are on, no excuses. Most MT companies DO love people like us.
I think you are wrong (sm)
I have been with them for a year. I have 2 friends who came to work there after me. It is as great as it sounds, honest it is. None of us can believe our good fortune. I guess you probably won't believe this either, but I'll continue. We are treated with respect, and it makes us take pride in the company we work for and want to do a good job and want them to succeed. I don't blame you for being cynical, there are so many unethical companies out there, and this just ain't one of 'em. Good luck. When you get tired of wherever you are, TT needs more good people.
Do something wrong and it
inevitably will catch up with you in some way or another. Maybe not now but in your lifetime; seen it happen. I don't have a problem with jealousy over the pay. Their ethics is none of my business but respect is. It is hard to work with people that you don't respect, thats my issue with the entire thing.
What is wrong with OSI?
Thinking about applying. I know many MTs would love the opportunity to work off the clock to get extra lines in. Don't you get a production incentive therre? Sticking to a schedule that is strict and won't let you work extra if you need the cash is why I left MQ.
WRONG
I have seen reports that were typed by a person fairly new to this field who was recently promoted and they were full of critical errors. It is ALL ABOUT THE BROWN NOSING so you can take your own brown nosing self and do something else with it. If she learned that in a teaching hospital I am sorry for her. My work is not perfect and I don't expect or need a promotion... but this is WRONG.
wrong - no pay for ADT
ADT is not paid. Notice how you fill it all in for a no-report but your line count still shows 0 when you send it?
That is just wrong!!!
I use EXText platform for my service and my MTs have full access to each and every report/line count using Control-I. I would be very suspicious if they tell you the platform doesn't check. It does....headers/footers/spacers, all of the above. Remember that the MTSO/hospital has the ability not all the MT to check the lines....and if that were the case, you should run the other direction as they are taking advantage of you and ripping you off!!! I would never ever do that to my MTs. That is very fishy....quit immediately. Don't let companies take advantage of you. Just my honest opinion.
Yes, you are wrong.
