with the email verification
I understand why administration took the action they did...they were simply following in the footsteps of what AAMT did, to hold posters accountable. On the flip side, when you post here with your email address, anyone can send you any type of email they want, even if you DO NOT want private email. For that reason alone, I don't think I will be posting any more. Not because I was causing problems but because I thought MTStars was here to protect my identity, not give access to my private eamil to anyone who wants to send me nasty grams priviately.
If this is offensive to anyone, it should be adminitration as they failed to acknowledge my inquiry into this issue. I've noticed a large drop in postings, not just from trolls, but from people who had something of substance to contribute. When revenues drop from lack of hits, will a fee be charged to be a participant? What a shame.
oh, and forgot to add typing in the verification code nm

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm

They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
tried to email you but your email is invalid
?
Is there an email address I can email them at. nm
:
Why email me? You want people to email you. NM
.
I tried to email you but it said your email is invalid. Can
you email me please.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
Ok. When will you start?
When do you start?
When were you hired and when do you start. Curious about how long it takes to get started.
when did you start??
Lots of inconsistencies here, when did you start?
DEFINITELY start looking!! nm
x
I'd start looking sm
for something else if I were you. There are plenty of jobs on the job board. It wouldn't hurt to start applying.
Just my opinion.
they start at 0.065, not 0.06
nm
What do they start at on ASR (VR) nm

7.5 cpl to start
Oh yes, when do I start having fun?
We have had cable for some months with Charter. I had AT&T and got tired of paying for this and that, too much. My husband could be sold a swamp in Florida- listed to the folks at Charter, new and improved. We got internet and land phone in day before New Years and now have had them over here probably a total of 5 or 6 times since then. Do not even try calling anyone with their company- no service place uses India- I called the other day and some person named American name kept going over something I was not talking about - 3times and I finally asked are you in India. I said my question is....... what word in that sentence do you not know? I finally frustrated hung up. Not a good service place AFTER you get.
I would start looking for new job...
Just left a company who docked me pay because of not changing demographics in program (not Word). This was after working there a year, getting calls early in the am to do stats and other fun things. If you smell smoke, there is usually a fire.
where do I start?sm
I worked for them up until February of this year. Management was unapproachable, at best. Paychecks ran a few days late every paycycle and were frequently inaccurate in the line counts.
I do understand that a lot of the people causing all of the hub-bub there are now gone, and I have a friend working there who is pretty happy that she made the transition. I guess everyone's experience will be different.
Start with an A?
nm
I think they start at 7 or 8
Yes you do not start out as a QA
nm
Start looking
It's not what you said. I agree with every bit of it. It's how you said it.
Start looking
Is it necessary to speak so harshly to a fellow MT? I am willing to bet that a few kinds words would have been more helpful to this person that the heavy-handed diatribe. Now is the time for kindness and compassion, not condemnation, don't you think? Have a merry Christmas.
Where do I start...
Fiona, what do you know from Adam? You have gone off on some huge rant that is totally unrelated to my post ...talking about Detroit and Repugs and all sorts of nonsense. Just because *you* are not happy and *you* are not making a good living does not mean that *you* represent the entire industry. I'm doing just fine, thank you.
so you think its ok to start sm
a post with I will explain it for the 100th time and end it with do you understand now
Yes I have followed all these posts and the rudeness is overwhelming! I would much rather hire the person who asked the question that ticked x off so much than X herself!
I really don't care what you think about anything I have said but I would not treat any employee like that nor would I talk down to anyone asking a question or posting an opinion. It seems to me like a lot of the folks on this board just want to scream and complain. I realize the economy stinks. There are many places where the work load is down and its going to get worse. As the economy gets worse and people have no insurance the demand for elective surgery and medical care goes down, thus our jobs.
What I have seen in over 30 years is that the ones who scream the loudest are the ones that have 1-3 years limited experience They scream about getting OP notes, ESL dictators and any other thing they don't like. Instead of screaming about the content, MTs should decide they are going to learn to do every single type of transcription. I realize it is different working for a hospital than a MT service. I do not agree with all this switching around on accounts for the MTs either. It just makes a mess. You have frustrated MTs making no money because they can't stay on one account, frustrated MTSOs because people are complaining (rightfully so) and frustrated clients because the work is either not done or the quality is very bad. You cannot be at top level doing 10 different accounts in a day.
On the other hand, the only solution that I know of, in this economy, is to keep it all inhouse, pay the employees benefits and a decent wage with incentive pay. Even with that, there will be those who want and need the flexibility of being an IC or an employee working from home.
Sorry, but X did not have to respond as she did. Makes me wonder why folks with this kind of attitude cannot see why they are not getting jobs! It also makes me wonder if, as students, they really thought that when they went into the working world of MT IF things were going to be as they were in school, i.e., dictation, difficulty of dictation, quality of sound, etc. Probably not. The real world of MT is not as being taught in school. Personally I think things should go back to on-the-job training with a minimum of 5 years experience in house acute care before being able to work at home unsupervised. The schools that are advertising 4-6 months of schooling and you are an MT ready to start your own business have destroyed this profession and created a whole lot of prima donnas in my opinion!
You did not start over 9 cpl at DSG
First of all, why not enter your actual name and not hide behind that name, ConnieW. Second of all, you nor your friend were hired at over .09 cpl. I think you're just trying to start trouble.
Not to start anything here but
I consider a lot of money to be a bonus at AIG or even a yearly management salary while employed at most of these bailed out companies. Thanks guys, we are all paying taxes to support you folks and your outlandish lifestyles.
I don't have a college degree in business but I really do think I could get one of these same companies into the same mess, not have to work very hard at all (certainly not as many hours as I put in as an MT) but get a RAISE AND A BONUS - which I certainly don't get as an MT and ya got it, a bonus.
I would start looking
I was in a similar situation. Management said they didn't want to lose any of us. They USED us to keep the account current and then left us high and dry. If I could go back, I would have started looking for opportunities right away. As my mother always said, It never hurts to look.
Would this co. start with a D?
Where to start?
Nitpicky, micromanaging, bad leads, IMs through the roof, do 1 day this way, next day another way, never a good word your way but lots of bad ones.
I will start with KS any way and try them out. nm
xx
Umm, does it start with an
nm
To start with...
Professions/jobs that require a weekend day or full weekend work? Let's see...you already covered doctors and nurses, so how about:
1. Gas stations.
2. Target/Walmart/Kmart.
3. Restaurants (yes, waitressing is indeed a career).
4. Bartenders.
5. Preachers/priests.
6. Fast food places.
7. Ad nauseum.
I'm sorry, I've got to agree with MT30+ here. You want time with your kids and with your God? Well, you have that time during the week. Pick a weekend schedule where you inconvenience yourself and start at 5-6 a.m., and then you have the rest of the weekend with them once your shift is over.
As far as spending time with your God, isn't there something in the Christian Bible (I am obviously not Christian) about a 'house of worship' being any time, anywhere people are gathered in God's name or some such saying?
I'm sorry, she turned down a self-professed 'wonderful job' to have weekends off. My pity/sympathy/empathy level with her is hitting at 0.
There are too many people out there right now who DO want to work, so at least in her turning it down and showing her lack of commitment to the MT profession and healthcare profession in general, perhaps someone who truly WANTS and NEEDS to work will get the position.
when did you start with MDI?
nm
Not to start a whole new argument, but sm
It seems awful strange that I know of at least 4 people that have left Transcend in the last 2 weeks or so from the same account because of lack of work all the time on either primary accounts or secondary accounts and now they don't have an ad posted, like they usually do to fill them back up fast. Hmmmm, maybe they finally realized that they overhired!!!
no, not to start it all back up again ...........
Get the best rate you can when you start
because no matter how much your produce, how much you help out, and how high your quality, you will NEVER get a raise. This was supposed to be based on a random QA review monthly but that went down the drain and now there are no reviews, either.
I'll start now if you will
RE: Get the best rate you can when you start
If you had ever looked at the policies and procedures which is posted on the company's website, you would see that reviews are carried out, and raises are given according to company policy.
Tried to start with them 3 times
I was offered a position with them, gave notice in-house, then they called me the day before I was supposed to start and said the had lost the account. A similar situation happened 2 other times.
Start Working?
How was I supposed to start working without training? I had no account specifics, and no one responded to my calls or emails. I assume that I'm not "hired" anymore.
And how many new MTs will be stupid to start at 4 cpl?
x
In their ad it says 7.4-8.5 cpl, but contacts have said they start everyone off low. nm
b
Rad reports - $1.10 to start
