Yes, still here - Business as usual SM
Posted By: m.e.d. on 2007-08-30
In Reply to: How are the DRC/Acusis MTs holding up? Are you - all still there? NM Wondering
No major changes since Acusis buyout. Same pay, same clients, same platform, matching 401K now in effect. No reason to *jump ship* that I can think of unless swimming is something you like to do for aerobic exercise.

Do you feel better now? !! Business is business, most of it should be confidential. Why post on a

pay as usual!
Companies pay when hospitals pay welcome of the world of Mt!
just the usual with KS
It is nice to get an answer. It is nice that KS does not offshore. But what is not so nice is finding out that the person giving you the information may be misrepresenting themselves and may not actually be a recruiter for that company. So if this is the case, how can you know that they are not telling you lies about the company????
You mean, just BS as usual.

The usual gig.....
Poor work flow management. Zero communication. Don't want to hear your input on anything. Whether or not you have a good or bad experience there is pretty hit and miss I'd say depending on all the variables. Certainly not a well-thought-out equation by them.
As usual, another one who knows
nothing about the poster. How was I insulting and what makes you so sure I'm not an MT? This Army Brat obviously has some issues with her company and is very paranoid that her work is being directed away from her. Maybe she should talk to her supe and not assume things she doesn't know.
Just the usual cowards who have nothing SM
better to do than rip other people apart so they don't have to acknowledge that they have their own deficiencies. Instead of actually speaking to someone with their company and having them know what kind of people they have working for them, they come here anonny and post the same tired stuff all the time and talk about how great they are in comparison to other people they work with, how the company should value them, blah blah blah.
The loudest ones are usually the most lacking in skills.
Ok, so this is hopefully just worse than usual? sm
Do I have to let them know to hop on at other times, or is it understood that it's necessary?
thanks much for your help!!!
Yes, one to her, one to office as usual.

Thanks so much...As usual trying to do it the hard way

Aside from the usual abrrv, try dividing SM
words in half.
hydronephrosis = hyne
scoliosis = scos
cholecystectomy = chec
aforementioned - afme
Or divide words together like
Babcock clamp = bacl
This is very easy, once you get the hang of it. Have fun!
excellent advice - as usual
She may not be lying - but it is not typical or usual. nm

OSI W2's late as usual this year?
.
Yes, mine was there are usual. TT is still the best IMHO.
Glad to be there. Glad to stay.
There is the usual posting by DIT. Gotta ask ..(sm)
Is there anyone out there that is currently working for DIT, getting paid and on time? I know that there were many, many posts here not long ago on how they had stiffed a few employees but was wondering if they had turned things around.
TIA
Trying to build his business? He's been in business over 15 years!!!!!! sm
I also had a hard time, nearly impossible actually, getting paid. The owner does this on the side; he is very involved with other things.
You're the only one giving anyone flack, as usual.

My usual VR fits mostly the same time frame
as yours although I have gotten 600+ before but never 800+ and I start usually at 12, started 15 minutes earlier and by 1 o'clock that is what I had. I keep my speed as fast as it will go also, you cannot make any money unless you are able to do that. I was surprised myself, first time for me and perhaps just a fluke but hey, I will take that.
No, just your usual hunt and peck for lines day. nm
Should add the usual disclaimer...No I am not mgmt - just another MT finishing her shift for the
night! I work out of Amherst as well, and the work is back-logged on many of our accounts. Again, I don't understand those who claim no work. We get daily emails listing loads of accounts, and nearly all of them are always full of work, if not out of TAT. Dozens and dozens of clients listed I never even heard of! So, just seems a mystery to me how, or why, some MTs "claim" to always have no work. Amherst sends mass mailings out 3 times a day, I believe, or at least 2 to ALL MTs - don't you read them? don't you get them? If you have no work, pick one of the dozens in the "red zone", and call your supervisor and ask to be put on a backlogged account. I have never been turned down a new account. Learn it - get on it and make it yours! If its often backlogged, Bingo! Now you have a good busy account!
It's not law, but it's usual general policy to avoid law suits. nm

Is it usual for company to assign specific jobs?
I'm just so frustrated right now. I've had some jobs assigned to me that are from one of my backup accounts, not just one but many, and many ESLs, which has really brought my line count down. I know I have to just deal with it, but I'm wondering if this is a normal occurrence. I got hired under the idea that I was on a low ESL account, which my main account is, but not the backup accounts. This doesn't happen all the time, but it is happening more frequently now. Do I have a reason to be frustrated with this, or should I just get over it and accept it?
No we won't. I said slow, meaning slower than usual, should have clarified.

MDI-MD - What is the usual starting line rate? smsg
Upon receiving email from MDI, it states they offer a generous line rate? Any input here? I'm interested in the cpl rate. Thanks for any info!
Just how are they to work for as far as accounts, ESLs, etc. The usual things such as how they treat
the MTs and so on.
Merit is what is screwed up. As usual. New managers couldn't care less.

My primary is even busier than usual and my back-up has been looking for extra help. Maybe time for

Where do you get a Lanier dictaphone and what is the usual charge for unlimited long distance. nm

If you don't know what is confidential, you have no business being in any business.
This is confidential information and should not be divulged. It is one of the biggest problems a co can have. If you have to ask...well I won't be able to explain it to you
I work on it. Usual amount of work. Not running out but not backlogged either. They seem to have
about the right staffing on it. Hope that helps.
Are they still in business?
Were you currently working for him?
It's really none of my business because I
don't work for MQ, but it looks to me like they need some kind of formal verfication for whatever reason that you received the letter. Perhaps to prevent any future actions on your part by stating you already had received notification in the form of a letter? Do you know if the phone call was recorded or not? Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but this sounds so awfully underhanded and sneaky to me.
It is none of their business (sm)
and there are certain questions they are not supposed to ask employees. What other ways can they invade your privacy? I would look elsewhere.
OSi has not been in business for 10 yrs. Who are you trying to
xxxxx
This is about all she does to run a business.
Business 101 sm
You are supposed to have a budget set up for payroll and taxes ahead of time. Every other week is the norm in regular business. Companies penalizing ICs or employees because they have lousy contract terms with an account is unethical.
This business. sm
Duh! I guess I don't. Just supported 2 children all by myself until they left for college with my MT wages. Nope, sure don't know anything about this business which has kept me employed for 25 years.
I don't have to know what Andrews is, I learned the right way - on the job.
Ya know, I have been in the business as
long as you have and worked in every aspect of MT including management and the slackers do exist, but they exist from any country. That's just an excuse for outsourcing or low pay. If you have slackers, get rid of them and leave the ones who work hard alone, but pay them a decent wage.
This kind of bull just literally makes me ill to read and it justifies nothing.
business
Just wanting some opinions about what people think of companies that have been around for 5 years and how to weigh the pros and cons to leave a company if the one that has been around less would pay better? thanx!
I own my own business
big mouthed fool! Go back to bed!
Is JLG still in business or have they gone under, too? nm

Bad business
 Yes! I agree. I tested today for another job and accepted something else part-time. As soon as am sure about the new job I am washing my hands of this GA company for good.
That is really nobody's business.
If the girl has transcribed errors more than likely from my experience it is due to POOR TRAINING on (OP) or Rad MT's part. If she was such a good trainer or whatever, the girl wouldn't be making errors! Sorry, but sometimes ya' gotta' step back jack and look in the mirror! There's plenty of companies looking for radiology MTs. Furthermore, the girl probably never got a bad vibe from (OP) Rad MT OR SHE WOULDN'T BE ASKING HER FOR A JOB REFERENCE ya' think????? 
ITA. Not sure how they are still in business. nm
Should go out of business
Hopefully, they will not stay in business long. I had a friend who worked for them and just resigned. They are HORRIBLE! They are a disgrace to our profession.
Probably 99.9% of them. We are in a 24/7 business. nm

Unfortunately they are still in business
Talked with someone I know who actually still works for them... the person said she was busy, but struggling getting paid again. Did my own research, found they are doing advertising in Canada. May have to go off shore soon to get an MT that will be willing to type for them. Pretty sure the investigation by the State of PA is still going on. They are not out of the woods yet. Just hate to see anyone get caught up with them. The care nothing about their MT's. Not too sure who and who not has not been paid yet.
Are they still in business?
I say enthusiast because they have been a hot topic that keeps me interested locally and nationally on what they do next...In that regard, I notice their web page is paid for up to 2009 but apparently has been under construction or not found depending on the page you try to enter on.
I also know that all of their ads on various sites are still up, but they would not bother to pull them anyway - making me very curious- does anyone still work for them - did the tax man, labor board, and lawsuits finally catch up and put them under.
Would over to know - I could use a reason to celebrate.
It should be none of their business
I think a person's credit report should have nothing to do with a job in this industry. Just another excuse they use to kick you when you're down! If your current job is not paying your bills, isn't the smartest thing to do to look for a better job? Penalizing you for that is ridiculous and unfair!
Bad Business
You know, I applied to a position right here on this board, took the test, and just got turned down. I know I did a great job. It was the easiest stuff I have ever transcribed. For some reason, the recruiter wrote to me and said my test did not warrant the type of Transcriptionist they were looking for. It makes me sick. I currently work for 2 other places and do over 60,000 lines per month, with rarely a remark from QA. I have over 28 years' experience and am a dedicated and hard worker. I actually am in a foreclosure situation and am willing to put the time in for 3 full time jobs. I will find the right third company, but what a shot that was!!! I work 7 days a week and know I can fulfill them all with at least 12000 lines each per pay period, 2 weeks. What do you think? Just trying to save my house!!!!
