I start training with Webmedx next week...sm
Like you, I know there is no perfect company, but they do seem pretty darned close.
So you don't expect anything during MT week either?
Since you're doing your job as is expected of you. 
Thank you, start training this
Friday and am looking forward to a productive relationship.
Thanks...I start training on Monday. :) NM
d
I start training on Radnet tomorrow
and after looking at the instructions I am a little concerned about the platform. Is it as hard as it looks? Any info in regards to the learning curve would be greatly appreciated.
Any other new Webmedx hires? I start training (sm)
in about a week. Am really excited and nervous. I realize no company is perfect, but this one seems to have so many of the things I am looking for.
I am glad to hear that, I start training with them tomorrow.

I only got a week of training before going in the deep
xx
Actually, I was not not guaranteed a wage, went on production after one week training, sm
and still only have one primary account (which runs out of work often).
Most companies have a 2 week training period and if meeting
production and QA one can opt out of it early.
web site says MT-s go through a 28 week training process. That's a long time!

$700 a week?!!! You trying to start something here???nm
,
I'm due to start next week and this has
all been a bit unsettling for me too. I'm pretty dependable so I'm not terribly worried about a schedule, but I'm worried about line count. I need to do 1200+ lines a day, and I don't think that is an unreasonable number, but I'm starting to worry about how much time I'm going to be given to reach it.
I have to tell you I'm wavering a bit, wondering if I would be better off where I am.
me too! I start this week. I had to sm
get cable internet because mine wasn't fast enough on the upload. Its in and I am waiting for my ID numbers from the hospital. They have treated me like a queen adn I haven't even started.
I too am excited about a job again!!!!!!!!!
I start mine next week. They have sm
already sent me a nice gift for MT week and I haven't even started yet!!!!!!!!
Hey Fingers! I start next week. sm
Had to decide to put in cable internet instead of what I had. It is installed Monday. I have everything I need, people have been wonderful and I haven't even started yet. Even got a nice gift for MT week and haven't typed a line yet!
I sure feel like a valued employee before I even start!
Thanks for asking! How you doing?
I know, but we will have it cleaned out to start the week and then it is (sm)
the last week of the payperiod and seems like people are always having to try to make up lines/hours that week.
Good luck to us all.
I was hired by them last week, start this afternoon...
Feel free to email me
Anyone here typing the new acct that was to start this week?
nm
I start at Webmedx next week and was told...
that my account will be 30% ESL. When filling out the questionnaire, you are given the opportunity to tell them the amount (percentage wise) of ESL you can handle. I put down 30-40%. I'm impressed with the way the recruiter handled things and, hopefully, will feel the same way in a month or so. He seemed to really want to work with me and address any concerns that I had. Good starting line rate with a good incentive plan.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work
m
Their training schedule kind of got backed up and so far the only training..(sm)
I've had is one short Bayscribe session. But I extended my 2 week notice at Medquist and I have until July 17 now to get some training in at MDI and do some reports to get familiar with the platforms. I'm looking forward to it!
I can't say enough about their training team. Excellent training!
The people at Medware are all just great. I wish I would have joined the Medware family sooner! They are very flexible and caring!
do you mean company training or med transcription itself training?
nm
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm
xx
what training? no training for me, first day they Tried to give me 2 ESL....
nm
they did not come up first. An hour of training is not really training.
nm
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!
x
Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
I expect I and a lot of others will be also saying bye bye.
:
they can expect all they want,
but you do not have to comply. When they send out their pleading "we need all the team helping on this" move past it. You cannot be productive or happy working 7 days a week for too long. White collar sweatshop is only there if we allow it.
I just have to say this: What do you expect?
A company comes underfire in a public forum by what may well be just 1 employee who didn't make it. There could be many reasons why.
Now, the company cannot name employees but the employee can name employers?
So, why wouldn't you expect an owner to come out swinging? This original post to the thread has nothing wrong in it. I saw the posts that were removed and they should have been.
But you know what? They were not any worse, different, or shocking than the trash that is posted here daily.
While some know how to post appropriately - complain in an appropriate manner still showing some integrity - most do not.
I don't blame her for at least addressing the issue. If MT's don't like employers coming on here defending themselves, perhaps they should consider the ridiculous trash they themselves are handing out.
This is a 2-way street, people.
Don't expect that to last

Expect nothing and you will never be let down (sm)
Some of us got absolutely nothing from our company but personally, I'm just thankful to have a job in this messed up world we live in.
You cannot expect (sm)
to receive more than 7 cpl if you only graduated from an MT school 1 year ago. You are still considered a newbie. Actually, some would say you are lucky to have found a job at all, especially a job that pays 7 CPL. My advice: Stick with your current job for 2 or 3 years; try to work on as many different accounts possible, learn as many different report types possible; then, after 2 or 3 years, search for a company who will pay you a higher rate. I know it is hard to make it on what you are being paid, but we have all been there; it comes with the territory.
If IC, co cant expect you to do ANYTHING for no

Expect nothing, get nothing.

Oh come on!! How do you expect her to
stay in business if she isn't making something beyond what she pays the sorry likes of you??
Oh come on!! How do you expect her to
stay in business if she isn't making something beyond what she pays the sorry likes of you?? I think we'll all heard enough from you today and probably for a long time to come.
But why do it if you don't have to? And why expect
others to do it just because you have to? This whole conversation is silly.
I don't expect others to do it because I sm
may or may not do it. I expect others to not knock me or the ones who are willing to change their hours around and do what it takes to get work when there is none. If you have no work and you have no money but won't work when the work is not there because the shift is not to your liking, then why feel sorry for you?
I am glad you have what you want. some of us like it this way or are working this way because the work isn't always there when WE WANT IT.
No, and I don't expect to sm
I just could not hack it anymore. Low work, no work, big push for ASR...I left.
I am starting with another company next Wednesday. I will have the schedule I have dreamed of having. They don't know it yet, but they will have to find me at least one more account to work on because I tend to slurp up a lot jobs. I know they will keep me happy.
I took an interim IC position that is actually pretty good. I kept my very long term PT job all the way through my time with TT and am working it more while I have a bit of a hiatus between jobs.
TT people are very nice, but nice didn't pay the bills. I was suffering physically and emotionally trying to work more hours to make the same amount of money. I have taken a raise over my previous pay, will have benefits and a nice incentive program with my new company. I feel your pain, I have been there!
I'm with you fat cat. I don't expect sm
anything either from anybody. If it comes great, if it doesn't then I probably forgot there was an MT week anyway and don't CARE!
Good grief, there is a week for everything under the planet it seems. Is everyone required to send a gift out for every week that somebody makes up?
I don't know who even started MT week to begin wtih, probably AAMT. Whoever did had to have somekind of a money gimmick. You kind of like Hallmark has a holiday for everything so they can sell cards? AAMT probably did this so they could sell their junk for MT week. Folks need to grow up.
Well, I expect
that since I posted in one of my posts that any member of management who read the post would know exactly who I was, it proved to be true. Too bad they don't have anything to do other than puruse these boards. Otherwise, I expect it wouldn't be hard to find out identifying information for anyone. The more I think about it the more furious I become.
Thanks for the Input
I wonder if that is common for them. Did you find a good company to work for?
Thanks for the input
Isn't it funny that they are advertising on MTjobs that you get one hospital account that will be your own. Doesn't surprise me. I think they do a lot of the "bait and switch" I talked to a recruiter about 6 months ago when they advertised "hospital employee" positions where you are an employee of the hospital, not Diskriter. I applied right away and they called me right away, but the recruiter acted like she didn't know what I was talking about. She was trying to hire me as a Diskriter employee. Finally after I pushed, she admitted that there was only one position open and it had been filled. I guess things haven't changed.
Thanks for the input.
