Yes I know, but seems a bit extreme when isn't
even a day late.
Geez that is a bit extreme
Well she is probably like me. I make mistakes like anyone else and if I am typing on here I might make one and not double check myself as much. You can tell if they are intelligible by the rest of their post. She just made a typo or two. We are not perfect in this world. We come here for support on this board not criticism. That is just my opinion on this issue.
That's where they are, on Park Place Drive according

I got whacked out of the ball park!
After applying for many jobs, and not getting one, I decided to go ahead and apply at Focus. I took their test and didn't pass. The recruiter said I passed the first 2 parts but did not pass the transcription portion. I was really surprised since I have been a medical Transcriptionist for almost 11 years, have specialized in hem/onc for the past 7-1/2 years. Needless to say, this has really made me depressed.

May be right around the corner
Over on the newbie board, someone is taking 6 cpl VBC. What's that work out to? 4.5 cents per line? On the plus side, if we keep cutting our own throats, there will be no need to send the work to India anymore as they can get it typed here for 3 cpl.
I'm in your corner, sister MT...
I find the archive search here to be a huge hit-and-miss prospect. Some peope apparently search and are able to find all of the info they want on the first try.
However, I've had several instances where my search on a company I know has been discussed on here and a search will show no info, or either that VERY old info that probably isn't appicable.
I feel your frustration!!!
if you don't mind not knowing what's around the corner -
and you don't know when you're next assignment is going to be, 1 month, 2 months, etc. then go ahead and apply, but there have been too many negative things about Kforce said, and I should have listened and took note.
Right upper corner of this screen sm
See where it says SEARCH -- ENTER transform, will bring up posts
Here are some corner-cutting things
Cut dryer sheets in half. Still works just as well. Also, don't use dryer sheets for anything but clothing and maybe a towel or two.
Use stale bread to make french toast instead of throwing it away.
Drink homemade iced tea or lemonade instead of soda. Better for your teeth, anyway.
Turn off the pilot light to your heater (if gas is what you use) during all but the coldest months. Put clear insulating film over windows in the winter to keep out drafts, use the heat less.
If you qualify (and I think most of us DO!), get on the low-income rate for gas and electricity.
Coupons are gettting harder to find these days, but if you find coupons for something you were already going to buy anyway, use them! (However, buying something you really didn't need, just because you have a coupon for it, doesn't save you money).
If you have tollbooths on turnpikes or bridges in your area, plan your trips so that you have to go through them as little as possible. Combine as much of your errands as possible. If they have electronic toll passes (ie, 'FasTrak') where you live, check into it. Some tollbooths give a discount for cars using FasTrak transponders.
Learn to sew, by hand and/or by machine. You don't have to MAKE clothes (unless you like to), but if you can sew, you can repair rips, (or make them better with colorful knee patches, etc), or you can buy something used at Goodwill, and then customize it by sewing on flower patches, embroidery, sequins or beads.
If you're a sweets-addict, like I am, kill 2 birds with 1 stone: Save calories and money - don't buy packaged cookies, or ready-made cakes. Buy the mix instead, & store it out of sight. I find that when I do that, I not only tend to not munch on them all day, but will even grab some carrot-sticks instead, if they're handier to eat. The mix is still there, for those times when you just can't stand it anymore, and you HAVE to have some goodies! But if you have to MAKE them, instead of just reaching into a package, you'll eat them less often.
lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make
x
Yeah, yeah, I spelled health wrong -
I am very angry right now and my fingers are taking it out on the keyboard.
Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a
nm
It is as simple as filling out a form. I did it when I left an MTSO and when I left sm
a non-MT position at a company years ago.
What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
Yeah, yeah, AND enjoy!
 
Yeah - n,
.
Yeah! Take That!
I like OSi too!!!
Yeah let's go there.
x
yeah right.
come on, every time some MT posts this type of problem, there is always the same response back from KS. Like you don't think they have sent email after email and call after call trying to get things taken care of or get help? Please. You don't think that we have the number and haven't called a million times? This is all just for show.
Yeah, sure!!! Like we believe you!
TS
Yeah????!!!!!!!!!
I also am very happy with my employment at OSi. I think it is a great company, one that listens to the needs of their employees and does their best to accomodate. It is pitiful to read how so many bash OSi and other companies on this board and you don't even work for them. If you have in the past and have found employment elsewhere, move on and knock off the infernal complaints. If you are employed with the company you are complaining about, then find a new job. We don't need or want your constant bantering. And if you are still employed here, that tells us you obviously aren't good enough to get a job elsewhere.
Yeah. RUN, RUN, RUN,
There are much better jobs out there.
yeah but
I would be typing all night.
yeah,
well, you know.
Yeah for you!
Good to know there is life after MTing.
Yeah, I know what you mean
about the taxes and sure can't blame you there.
I hope you can reconnect and get the job with him, though. If more docs start to realize what's happening and leave the companies that do the outsourcing, that will send a huge message to these companies. Might also force them to treat their American employees better.
In the age of terrorism, I don't see how it CAN'T be a security issue to outsource medical transcription, especially to middle eastern countries. Think about it. Besides access to the obvious personal demographics of the patient, they also know which medications the patient is taking. With the way elderly people order medications from Canada, I can just imagine an elderly person getting an ad in the mail for the medication they're on at less than half the price, order it and wind up dead. It seems that large groups of Americans could be targeted and harmed based simply on their medical information. (Maybe my imagination is running wild, but I never could have imagined that anyone would think to use a plane as a missile to kill a large group of people, either.)
yeah, but . . .
what about all the employees of some of these companies who are being told to be patient while work returns to normal after the holidays, yet have been virtually w/o an income for weeks now. This shouldn't be happening consistently in the winter months, holidays or not. What rights do those people have as far as any compensation? They're being left hanging in the balance with no way to pay the bills and yet not being given the option of collecting unemployment benefits because they're still technically on the payroll. How far is this going to go before people stop accepting the obvious? It saddens me to no end to see companies treating their long-time loyal employees this way.
Yeah right. I just bet you do.

Oh yeah
I have been with a smaller MTSO (about 100 MTs) since leaving MQ. I love having the QA that I never got at MQ, but what bugs me is that when I send in a blank or a flag, they answer not only me, but everyone on the whole darn QA team (okay, there are only 4), plus the president of the company.
Now, come on, if I'm just asking for a second listen on a cc doc (new account), do you really need to copy the Prez on that one?
yeah
I guess that is average then. I was hoping to make more by now. My goal is to one day get my own accounts and start my own business 
Yeah I know
Lack of communication seems to keep getting worse and worse. This is along with other issues I have I do not want to discuss on here. I just am trying to decide about some things. I used to love the flexibility but now even that is in question.
Yeah...
I will take 8 cpl, but not 6 cpl. Maybe per gross line, but not on a 65 character line. I actually worked 6.5 cpl for each actual line and on average I made about the same as 8 cpl/65 and in some cases more.
Yeah, what's up with that?
And have you seen the screening test on the website...is that a joke??? If you go to the site you will see that you can pretty much study it and look up all the answers before doing it. I also hired and trained a few Andrews grads in the past. Not that impressed.
Yeah, all that at 7 cpl! lol
x
Oh yeah, a BIG 8! lol.
x
Yeah, looks like it..
JLG recruiter was from MQ, went to JLG (not for too long I might add) and now works for Alltype? Wow!
yeah...they don't want to pay you..sm
I used to work for a company that would hold my checks up to 30 days, simply because their state law (California) said that it was legal for them to do so. With two pay periods a month, I was never caught up on pay and it took two more months after I quit to get everything that was owed me. Sux.
Yeah
Yeah, I agree. I think that should be provided. And it is not a verbatim account--it has to be edited.
yeah I did that but don't think it's
x
Yeah.....from 2/8/07
x
Yeah, I was always just MK, but ..... sm
I felt bad for whoever had to switch back and forth from O to MK, with the Account Specifics the way they were with MK. I personally can understand that #$#@$ error log being the way it was, supposedly.
Anyway (sigh) old doors close, new doors open.
Yeah...
That is why we should encourage everyone to apply...so they can move into that AC position right away. Such a great opportunity to take a cut in pay to be a manager and work around the clock. Who wouldn't want to dive right in!
Oh yeah - we must!
After reading your post I'm sure we do!
yeah, maybe i should
do that.. I just hate to go through resumes, interviews, testing and the whole starting a new company hassle only to find out that they pay decent but you can't make any money because the platform is a hassle, they fed me a bunch of lies and the company is terrible..or you have to kill yourself to get a decent line count, so the rate doesn't matter. On a decent, normal platform where the lines are counted in an acceptable way, I know I should average 250-300 lph without killing myself.. if i can't do that, I'd rather not bother. I've heard a lot of good things about Keystrokes and have considered going there, but not sure what they pay. Right now, I'm leaning towards SmartMed..but not sure of their line counts, and I've heard good and bad about Transtech and Webmedx.. and a few others..I'm just sick of company hopping and BS.
yeah, I know....but.....
if I ask and they answer, and I accept employment with them based on their lie, doesn't that mean (with proof of course - get answers in email, not phone!) that I can quit and still collect unemployment until I find my next job? I know good employers are out there and most likely I won't find them, but I sure am gonna try! ;-)
OH YEAH
and if you read the application for background check that they send you they tell you at the Attention to or Pay to part you will need to leave this section blank on the money order or cashiers check. We have a automated stamper that our Payroll Dept. use for our 3rd party vendors. If you put anything in the attention/pay to section then we will return your money order or cashiers check back to you which will delay processing of your background check request. The address is also a PO box. Something just does not sound right here!
Yeah, I want to know too-
X
Oh yeah, they have to pay OT.
like according to the OP that it was authorized. No matter what though they have to pay it. I think the OP should report them too! Too many MTs are taken advantage of this industry. I don't care how many people like working for this company, that's just a shady practice and should not be tolerated! My 2 cents!!!
Yeah, right - I should have had my
phone on while still at my desk and taken a call while punched in. Right ... smart.
Not.
