I know, but some posters use it as moniker too, especially when typed with capitals..sm
Imagine, I even know that 'sm' means see message, wow, ain't I smart!
Same moniker but different MT
Yes, they offer part time, but no benefits. The requirements are 1/2 of what is required for full time. I started full time and went part time also because of health issues. Since I decided there are more important things in life than money, life is now wonderful and I have the best of both worlds.
Someone else also uses the same moniker, but
I have provided my suggestions to TPTB at Webmedx on how to improve the system.
If the platform is slow and you can't make lines than your paycheck is going to be less. The people can me as nice as can be, but that isn't going to pay my bills and I don't need the benefits.
If I were the only one that had an issue with Enterprise there wouldn't be the e-mails and the postings on the community board promising to make it better, so obviously there are others with issues with it.
duh, I never even looked at your moniker
I would ask for a different primary, but I'm not sure I would go into details with your liason at the risk of jeopardizing a good working relationship with him/her. Good luck.
how about 'retard' as a moniker for you...sm
It does not matter how short or elaborate a moniker is, it can be traced through the boards, comprende??
That's what you obviously want to avoid, making you totally anonymous.
Comprende?! Obviously NOT.
How old are you? 80?
this is what I mean: If we post under a moniker,..sm
we are not totally anonymous. Posters on this forum recognize and know YOU as 'Fed up,' it is your forum name.
Posters who post without a constant moniker, those are the really anonymous posters and usualy the most offensive ones.
I believe the poster's moniker is a clue. ;)
Webmedx?
Your moniker is Overseas MT, which is very confusing.
Your post was fraught with errors. You didn't even get the gender of the owner right.
I realize this is a message board, people write quickly and are bound to make typos. Many of your errors simply weren't typos, though.
If I were an MTSO reading your post, I don't think I'd invite you to work for me. Sorry.
Like 'it" is a great moniker? LOL nm
Glad to see your moniker back, have
missed you, GP. You hit a nerve with me because I was employed at a hospital, but laid off in 2007 because they were going to save so much money using India or Pakistan, but there's this: By the time they pay QA and editors over here American money and pay the tx's over there, where did they save any money? The equipment is the most exorbitant expense which they still are paying for since they are the parent company of this fiasco. Where they could have saved money was getting away from physical charts and letting go half of the gossiping clerks they had in the clerical side who were mostly concerned about their next dinner, luncheon, who was doing what and how much WE might or might not be making! oh, well, off the soap box...for now.
Your post was ugly and your moniker was a
slap in the face. I don't know the situation, but why kick someone when they are down.
Love your moniker - gave me a laugh. nm
:-)
I use anonymous email. If I use a moniker it isn't my real name.
It's been like this on this website for a loooong time now! I've been posting anonymously for ages, so I don't know where you get the fact that you can't post anonymously anymore. The email I use is for this website only and doesn't even include my real name.
It's as anonymous as it gets without having a bunch of spam posts invade the boards.
I've liked it for a long time now and still like it. If you don't ... then, well, you know...
to posters above and below...
Stick to your guns and make it crystal clear that you want the HOSPITAL employee position. That was also my experience. I like my hospital employee gig. E-mail me if you wish!
Job Posters
Do you all notice some of these job postings: *experienced, reliable and conscientious MT. Testing required* and then go on to say they pay 7-8 cpl depending on experience?*
EXPERIENCED, reliable and conscietious MTs that have to take a test to even be considered DEFINITELY deserve more than 7-8 cpl.  
I beg to differ with the other posters (sm)
I've been with MQ for four years and I am very happy. No one hounds me, heck, yesterday I was gone to lunch for two hours, and NO ONE called me asking where I was. As it has been stated before numerous times, things differ from office to office at MQ! That's just the nature of the game. Don't judge MQ by what other people say, I almost did, and probably would have lived to regret it. I'd say give them a try, what have you got to lose? Good Luck!!! 
I agree. It seems as though many posters
complain about no work but I have to wonder how hard they work when their account is out of TAT. I have my two boys home with me daily. They are napping right now and in between breakfast, lunch, breaking up an occasional fight and all the hugs and kisses I can stand, I have still managed to type 2200 lines already today.
Sierra, the 2 posters below are RIGHT.
Both of their answers are right on.
I make a LOT of money with the same companies most people b**** about. I don't care what THEY think. I make good money and have fab bennies.
I stop by here every couple of weeks or so and usually just read to get a good laugh but the problems are always the same on this board: No one wants to work, they wanna sit and chat and post...every word you type HERE is COSTING you cents and cents add up to money, honey. No one here wants to leave a company if they're unhappy...staying there will make you as hateful as the so-called hateful company you complain about. No one here wants to give any company a chance for their OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE...apparently, no one can make a decision on their own. They just take other people's views and opinions and make them their own. How weak and feeble-minded is that?
Read sm and anon posts below. They'll get you going in the right direction. And forget all the negs on this board...LMAO - call 'em naggin' negs. ROOFFLLL
Okay to work for, but the other posters are right!

The other posters are correct sm
Not only is their pay so low, but you are actually penalized for blanks and needing help. This is why they are constantly advertising on a national level. There are plenty of local transcriptionists who would work for them if pay and conditions were decent. I would recommend staying away!
It is the posters who are embarrassing with their
LOL
TIA, are there mulitple posters who use this
If not, you are all over the place. How many different companies do you work for. You have tons of posts about tons of different companies. What gives?
Thanks to all 3 posters above. I will look where you suggested! nm

To the three rude posters...
Why do you even bother replying when you are going to be so rude and negative? Some people on this board are unbelievable. She's asking the question for people that want to answer - nobody requires anyone to answer anything. However, I am sure that the reply 'nunya' was really helpful though - geez...
I got into it so I could stay home with my kids. My husband does have a good job with benefits that are pretty good. I wanted out of the office atmosphere anyway, all the gossip and BS.
I agree with other posters that there is something
disingenuous (sp?) or creepy almost about the RAVE reviews over and over for this company. The language of the posts is suspect as well - how many MTs call each other MLS? So many of the posts just sound like canned recruiting posts - sorry. That's my take as well. And one thing I know 4 sure in this industry - when MTs do find that miracle company, they don't go blabbing it all over so that thousands of other MTs can apply. That's one thing that is a given. And all this hiring? Something is odd about that as well. So its not just 1 or 2 skeptics - I have a feeling there are a lot of us!
I agree 100% with the posters below!
Not to say all nationals are this way, but the one I work for now is terrible about communication, basically ignores e-mails, and generally leaves you with no way to reach them. I truly do feel like a mindless drone some days. You might find the change tough after being in-house for so long. Just my opinion here. Good luck to you! :-)
I also agree with the other 2 posters...
Been with OSi for several years. I never run out of work and pay has always been on time. 
oh my bad ... I see you do have really happy posters
see thread way at the bottom.
Keystroke posters
It could also be because when they post questions on the other board which they are given access to when they begin working for KS - they are required to use the KS initials so that their supervisor can check up on them and see if they made an inquiry to the MTdaily board before leaving a blank. Then if they haven't - it's a reprimand. Been there - done that - glad it's over.
thanks for input from posters below...
I had been made a verbal offer, so nothing submitted in writing. I did just call, and will be receiving my paperwork today. Thanks for the info.
What is strange to me, are posters who use a reg.

TT posters see message
Hello all. I'm getting hit from both directions with emails and reports here! Sorry, I don't work for TT so I don't know what is true and what is not. From what I can see below there was a problem today, but it has already been addressed and fixed by the company.
With that being said, I will leave these messages on the board. I'm going to ask that this conversation be done though. I'm getting requests from both sides asking for removals of certain posts or all of the posts. Everyone wants a place to post and get their questions answered or simply to find information, so as a general rule we want to leave the information to be found. However, this topic has gone beyond that and turned into nothing but an argument. Even the non-TT posters are getting in on the argument. I appreciate everyone's understanding.

OK, I don't work for TT, but other posters SM
have stated they are rapidly moving into SR and if you don't do SR, you don't have any work. They have been posting that for the last several months.
disagree with the other posters...
First, you are miserable and believe they want you gone anyway. Second, you are not confident they will pay you. With my experience of over 30 years as MT, i say NO, just quit with no notice. If it puts them in a pickle, it's of their own making. I don't believe it will hurt your future prospects. Why not? Because you worked for them a number of years -- that speaks for itself. You have the medical knowledge and can produce well. You'll be fine. Besides, so many employers never check your references anyway. Usual questions are where you worked and for how long, and why you left. Why make yourself miserable and not be paid for it? You'll find another job. and if its not the right one, you can keep looking. but in the meantime, you'll be PAID for your work and not be so unhappy (which isn't good for your health!!). Go for it.
Um, you slammed her. That's why other posters
felt the need to come in and try to make her feel better, take the burn out of her monitor. Other posters got the point across to her, without making her feel like an evil insider of Transcam, or a moron. Poor thing will probably never post again. Your postings are very borderline tonight - one post friendly, next post slamming. Go back and read your posts after you're in another mood, and you should see my point. But then wrapping up all the love with a Golden Rule motto just really sealed the deal. Peace out to you, too.
Quite a few posters have mentioned doing this..nm
This board needs more posters like you;) I know they are out there, but..sm
sadly so many are afraid to post for fear of receiving negative responses. I also believe the good outnumbers the bad. We all just need to start ignoring the negativity because it feeds on attention. If we would all just stop feeding it, may it will starve to death and just go away. You can count me in!!
Message for All Posters (sm)
If you have complaints about how MTStars is run, contact the Administrator or Moderator through email.
Complaining on this board about those issues is not appropriate.
Furthermore, making false allegations about MTStars on the board is not going to be tolerated. No company or movement moderates or censures this board.

To posters below: This post says
'Maybe you could have an experienced fellow MT look over some of your work', keyword being WORK, not TEST, so calm down.
I agree with the other posters...
hang in there and keep testing...Good luck!!!!
I disagree with the posters below
that there are no greener pastures. I have found a terrific company I have been with for 6 months. I love, love, love it. I had to take the chance myself in trying it out, and figure out what was most important to me in terms of scheduling, platform, and pay. That's what you are going to have to do, too.
You have to always bear in mind that things can change in a heartbeat at any company. Accounts come and go, personnel changes, policies change, and the once perfect company can take a nosedive or a once yucky company can become a transcriptionist's dream. You have to go with the flow.
I would agree but most of these posters...
Do not yet even have experience with VR, much less VR with the accounts at TT.
They are so busy playing chicken little and threatening a 'mass exodus' (love that one, lol!) that they have already decided they will hate it. And, human nature being such as it is, because they have already made up their minds it's inferior, they will lose pay AND for some inexplicable reason it's a threat to patient care, they will NEVER adapt to it and thus are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
My account at TT is basically 85% VR and I love it. I took no cut in pay; my production doubled and therefore my salary is pretty much exactly what it was with straight transcription. I honestly don't see why all of these posters are flying off of the handle and ASSUMING things until they give it a try.
It just goes against logic and defies explanation to prejudge something before even giving it a chance, IMHO.
No, but the nastiest of the posters
Seemed to be doing many of the posting under different names. If you read the posts, hers will stand out; very similar in type/grammatical style. The OP was not nasty at all; it was one who started posting later in the thread.
I'm sure there's more than 1 unhappy camper, no doubt about that, but this nasty one that kept starting new threads to rehash everything and attempt to get her point across is the one I was referring to. I'm sure she knows who she is.
I've no problem at all with a civilized debate but this got way out of hand.
Please do not misquote the posters here -- sm
to conform to your agenda. WHAT poster is ADMITTING to WHAT?? You seem to be implying that the Leads are assigning the YUKKY work, as you call it, to a number of persecuted MTs -- and the others are selected to receive better dictations via selective electronic cherry-picking. The work does flow naturally, according to: (1) The particular account that particular MT is assigned to, and (2) Priority, per the client, of any particular job
A primary duty of the leads, whom you seem to have chosen to unfairly malign, is to ensure timely TAT of jobs and ensure a smooth & fair distribution of work. Toward that end, the lead may rarely have occasion to assign a particular STAT job to an MT to ensure that TAT is kept.
But do you really think, on a large hospital account with sometimes countless dictators, a Lead has the time to listen to each one of the multitude of dictations in order to decide which one is YUKKY (per your definition), which one is O.K and which one is great - and then selectively assign each job to his/her favorite MT du jour ? I wish you could hear yourself. Paranoia seems contagious on this board.
some posters are trolls..
ignore
My comment is about posters in general.
I've never worked for KS and know nothing about them.
Nothing on this board tells me anything about them either. That is my point.
What is on this board is completely anonymous and we have no way to know who is actually posting and if there is any truth to it.
Your experience may be more limited than the other posters
The other posters were on the money. If you have worked on at least half of the accounts, you would see that most of them are primarily ESL, there is one where native English is the exception and rare, 2 that ESL exclusive.
There have been occasions where work was lean for everyone and those not meeting line counts were sent certified letters to make their line counts or there would be consequences...how can you make line count if the work is not there and then be punished for not making line counts?
Search this site for some time in June or May and there is more about TH.
this response is for most all posters on this subject...
(also, to correct myself, should be this board, not boards...)
these points I bring up have all happened to me personally, or I have sat back and observed them in different positions I have held.
I am not burned out on transcription, still love it...justed burned out on how callous and harsh people in general have become...
Here is a challenge for CEOs and all the people pocketing huge profits off health-care...
Sit in an emergency room some day, LOOK INTO THE EYES of some of these patients we are supposed to be helping.
Talk to the elderly or the poor as they lay in stretchers in the hallway, alone, for hours and hours while people just walk past them like they are invisible.
All because they do not have health insurance. People do not matter it seems to me, unless you have money. The so-called business of health-care was not for making money, it was mostly nonprofit...
...the hospital could serve other functions, such as almshouse for the poor, or hostel for pilgrims. The name comes from Latin hospes (host), which is also the root for the English words hotel, hostel, and hospitality.
Don't know the name of it. Posters just said it was archaiac and unfriendly. nm
s
Yes, but they don't know posters email addresses. The only way
they would know is if the poster replied back to them.
I'm really going to miss the posters that have left! nm
