to do a free month of work. That is so ridiculous. You just know at the end of the end they are going to tell you after all that work that it didn't pass because you didn't put a comma where it needed to be etc.. and how are you going to dispute any of it or get paid. There is no way in ###$#$# that I would work for a place like that. Sounds like a bad scam of some sort.

You've got to be kidding - right?
LOL
you've GOT to be kidding, right?
you don't know that for a fact.
you've got to be kidding....
you must be either related to her or on commission with that company. That's a company that is in the process of self-destruction just because of the CEO and the CEO alone. They can't keep the GOOD MTs because the GOOD MTs know better!!! I did QA and training for them - had one MT quit in 3 days because of the degradation and verbal abuse on the phone alone!!! If you like calls all hours of the day and night (constant interruptions for invalid points) and don't mind being expected to LIVE in front of your computer, then go for it.
Also, there were 18 different times in less than a year when my line counts were sent to me for billing purposes that were missing quite a bit of what I had transcribed (good think I kept a log!!). We're not talking $10 or $20 - more like a couple hundred.
You've GOT to be kidding!!!
You are just what the company wants - a puppet who can spout back exactly what they have planted in your head.
Good grief - get a clue!!!
10? You've got to be kidding. There aren't that many that could make it. nm

A raise? Are you kidding me? I've not heard anything
but NO forever when I've asked for a raise, and I'm productive, accurate, work my schedule and extra if needed. And the rates are low because the extra $$$ stay in the MTSO's pocket, or they are competing with offshoring cheap-labor wages. I think you need a reality check!
A lot? You've got to be kidding. Name them. "Big schools" still don't equal experience.

You've got to be kidding! It makes a HUGE difference. I sure wouldn't want to work with
Sounds to me you've
been scammed, or either your trainer is just taking her time while pulling you around the nose, or they have decided against hiring you and are too lazy to tell you. I have never been done this way and hope I never will be. If I were you I would send an email saying you are sending the footpedal back and to forget it if you're too busy to train me. If no training w/in two days after that, actually send it back.
Sure sounds like we might've been

If they posted here looking for suckers
MTSTARs needs to ban them from ever posting here as they are a sham company that rip off not only people seeking employment but the legit companies they hack into and abuse
I hate to say it, but it sounds like you've been
.
Sounds like you've got the documentation to
If nothing else, it might be enteraining making them squirm a bit. Hee.
Amen...remember what PT Barnum said about suckers...
there is one born every minute and most believe everything they read on the internet!
Corrections: Sorry..'I would NOT call these people SUCKERS.....nm

I've always heard if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. n/m

snot suckers into the mic; years ago on tape I listened to...
nm
Sounds like several places I've been with! They can tweak the distribution of work any way they
s
I've had to submit mine for a lot of transcriptions jobs. Sounds okay to me. nm
Sounds like you've been reading too many "Donna" posts, ROFLMAO nm

Evidently things haven't changed since I left. Sounds like they've gotten worse - LOL

sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
You are kidding right!!
Well, if you like it then that is good for you, but I have definitely worked on better platforms. This takes me back to the 1990s. I personally think it sucks, know a lot of other people who thinks it sucks, and have not seen all these happy people on the forum talking about how much they love it. I read the forum every day, and all I see are the people losing jobs as they are transcribing them and a whole lot of people complaining about how bad the voice quality is on the new platform and how the new platform does not have enough hot keys and too much mouse work. Maybe we work for a different Transcend!!!
No kidding...nm
Are You Kidding Me?
Well it’s nice to know that HIS management understands their program. It’s just another rah-rah scam to make the industry think that HIS is wonderful. If HIS was as perfect as they claim, HCR Manor Care wouldn’t be looking to sell. Why would they drop such a wonderful company that only took 7+ years to make a profit?
Plain and simple, HIS only interest in a US team is to gain clients. It sounds like a good sales presentation, but when it comes down to it, the client ends up being offshored due to the high US MT retention rate. Why the high retention rate if HIS is so perfect? So keep painting the pretty picture HIS, but your image in the industry is destroyed.
I was just kidding
about them guessing. It's just their lines are never the same as mine, or anyone elses for that matter. Report what? This is their Standard Operating Procedure and always has been. They just don't tell you that when they hire you. Best thing to do is find something else, and if that doesn't work, keep on truckin'. Also, do you ever find it odd that you don't know any of the other MTs that work there? Check any Email from them. Do you see your name or a distribution list? They must have something to hide. Good Luck and keep your chin up.
Was just kidding.
I thought it was kind of cute, thought maybe we could now do some pole dancing to earn some extra money in between reports, good exercise I hear. I do typos all the time and I hate to post some of the times because I am afraid that I will do the same. Seriously to me it is great to be an IC and not an employee have been doing it for 20+ years.
Good luck in making the right decision, just did not want you to base it on the 7.5% of SS you had to pay.
Are you kidding? A lot of us did
sux
are they kidding???
i have 2 QA jobs and get paid 18 at one an hour and 18.75 at the other per hour.. THAT IS A DISGUSTING LINE RATE! GOOD GOD!
kidding? You have to be kidding...sm
You must be deluded to even have a thought that you can get no ESL MDs at least in a hospital or MTSO setting.......unless you work for yourself and you pick only Anglo dictators.....
The Hispanics are of great number in the USA now, they are the largest minority in the USA, 40 million of them. And Michigan has it's ARAB community.........tons of Arabs live in and around Ann Arbor and other areas of Michigan.
Even small town America (think New Mexico) - all have ESL mds....NM being mainly native American and Hispanic from Spain and Chicano-Hispanic from Mexico....
Nowhere in the USA any longer....except perhaps MAINE......and VERMONT.....maybe they have no ESL MDs.
GOOD LUCK......*L*
No kidding. sm
I'd like to see what their speech recognition does with an ESL doc dictating the word esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
No kidding.

Are they kidding?????

You are kidding us, right?
You were actually threatened by women who wanted to keep you bad enough for themselves? Aren't we just a little full of ourselves!
No, I'm not kidding...
YES, REALLY...
This REALLY happened to me once! I'm not being full of myself, as you put it. I am being totally honest. Nothing about the situation was flattering, whatsoever! I felt completely violated. It was a terrible experience to go through as a single parent trying to make ends meet.
A few years ago, I had accepted a job with a company and had actually turned in my resignation to my current employer. When my team leader found out where I was going, she called someone she knew at that company and told them lies about me. When the company I was talking to got her call, they reneged and stopped talking to me altogether.
I panicked. I was JOBLESS! Then, my team leader called me and told me she wanted me back. She was the hero in her mind. My team leader TOLD ME HERSELF what she had done--as if she had done me a FAVOR! She told me that she did that just to keep me with her. I wouldn't have had any idea what had happened if she hadn't told me what she did.
As previously mentioned, I was a single parent at the time, and the sole breadwinner; so, I had no other choice but to work for her until I found something else. I did find something else about a year later, after that particular team leader had moved on to another company.
You certainly seem to be a very judgmental and very bitter person. Perhaps it is YOU who is full of yourself! Until you go through this sort of experience, I don't think you have any room to talk at all!
no kidding
I work VERY PART TIME (1.5-3 hours per day) for a company and make $1400.00 per month. However, I am a 17-year MT/QA/auditor/instructor/manager, know how to use ShortHand 8 to the best of its ability, and make it my business to know every physician's business. Also, the Shapin management person who is posting here is most unprofessional. It would be more professional not to respond to the accusations on this board. Makes him/her look very immature and argumentative.
no kidding! lol

Are you kidding me?
Is that SE status or as an employee?
R U kidding me??????????
They may have a mentor program but the company overall is the P-I-T-S, management, communication, you name it. Revolving door indeed. QA is a complete and utter joke and the worst I have ever seen in 12 years of experience. Your newbies can do better anywhere except OSI.
Not kidding
Heather is a super mentor manager. The mentor program is the only program that is not the P-I-T-S as you put it but it will give them good experience. It is not a good longterm choice but the program itself is good.
Of course not!!! Are you kidding? U think they
Just one more thing to show they don't have it together!
No..... are you kidding?
Almost that per week.
No kidding? nm

Are you kidding - is this it?
I don't have a lot of experience with nationals. Are these the ONLY companies that don't make you punch a time clock? Unbelieveable if true!
No kidding!
I'm an American MT, and I do a great job! Yippie! It's a a bunch of &$@#.
Are you kidding....7.4 cpl is low
I am working for a wonderful company with good bennies, low health premiums, etc. (small co). I make 8.5 cpl with only 1 specialty and only about 5 different docs and a couple PA-Cs. No ESL. I feel like I'm in heaven. Just started and averaging about 1500 lines per day. I also might add that there are incentives.
Are you kidding?
Terrible!
please tell us your kidding?! nm

No kidding, MQ is getting
rediculous, I had to leave. Can't WAIT to start at KS, since I have typed for the account I am going to have with them before, through MQ.
Are you kidding?
Axolotl pays you EVERY character regardless whether it is a macro or short cut. Please, do not assume how a company pays just because you don't understand why some programs are not compatible.
We use Lotus Notes. Our platform is EXTREMELY easy. Axolotl makes it the best for their MTs as possible.
No kidding...
I'm really fed up. If they don't get me going early this week, I'm moving on. I shouldn't have to bug a company to start working.
