Deb Garrison, I hope you're reading this board, because I'm coming at you with one hell of a l
I know that there are a lot of you out there who are owed money. Some of you are owed LOTS of money and Deb just spends it on herself. You'll likely NEVER get paid, but together you can all make sure she never runs an MTSO again. But, what needs to happen is ALL MTs screwed out of their paychecks must come together for this to actually happen. You all can email me at flagfootballcoach@gmail.com and we will pull together and bring down the hammer on this woman. She has had too many different businesses, taken people for their hard earned money, and needs to be shut down for good.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
I sure know where you're coming from...
And don't understand why you're getting so much flack here, I get what you're saying. It must be nice to be able to say take this job and shove it, and congratulations to those who can afford to be like that. You have to think straighter if the mortgage is due and you're the only one who will pay it. I love my folks also but man, you DO NOT not just up and quit a job unless you've got your bases covered, at least I don't. And I certainly do sympathize with the original poster here. My 2 cents.
I see where you're coming from...
I personally don't worry at all about whoever visits this site and views my posts. I prefer not to e-mail here, as I don't want to reply back and forth with anyone and then possibly receive a bunch of spam and/or desperate requests for opinions, job leads, etc. Regarding this site charging a fee, I wouldn't support that. I don't see how that would make it any more secure, but that's just my opinion.
The "powers" that be watch this board so you will have a ton of TT MTs coming on here to say t
plenty of work, which will only make you feel worse like your being singled out, but I suspect this happy TT'ers are management. How else can you explain someone saying no work and then others saying how swamped they are. It happens all the time. Makes you wonder...
Did they say a new account is coming on board and they are training the

Hey! Stop posting like this or they're going to think I'm you!
You're right, but we would have to stop buying
drugs and Ford cars because their factories are in Mexico. The Ford cars are not big deal, but the drugs are. I do try to buy only American though.
I know where you're coming from. I've done QA (sm)
and it's frustrating. I'd rather do transcription than QA.
But at any rate, you might want to check out Precyse or Axolotl.
YOU'RE SO SURE NEW ACCTS. COMING?..sm
First told in November - must flex for now.
Thus, multiple MTs on board re. quitting/leaving. (Kids wanna eat before November, car repo man around the corner, mortgage company frothing at mouth, who also wants their $ - you know the drill) - all before November, how greedy of them all!
 HAPPY FRIDAY, SUGAR PIES! (Must do/say something STAT - before all MTs leave - but have to tell them something QUICK)
So now, Only have to wait 'till JULY for new work, sweetie-pie, babydoll! 
Sure, right.
Stop insults about company advertisements on this board. SM
If you disagree with the monies offered, don't apply.
We want companies to feel welcome to advertise their jobs here. If they receive no applicants, they will have to decide on their own if they should reevaluate their offer.
Please do not make insulting posts about our advertising companies. If you have questions about this, send me an email.

Well, I was happy for that overflow account coming on board
It is helping out some. No, I don't work on that account, but I did put in a full shift today.
In fact, the work is picking up on the account I work on as I had a total of 3 full shifts this week. Sure feels funny to work a full shift lately.
sometimes you'll hear that there's a new account coming on board ...
sometimes that happens, sometimes it falls through ...
I'm not saying that they absolutely don't care ... but particularly if you are an independent contractor, it genuinely is not their problem.
Either way, the people who are willing to sit and wait for work will stay ... I've been one of them ... not ready to switch companies, need the lines to pay the bills.
I remember when, first of all, work was often backed up (and ALWAYS out of TAT -- the first 7 or so years I did MT) these were hospital accounts being done done by local companies who had history with each other ... The national bought out and underbid the smaller companies and one of their big selling points was TURNAROUND and they agreed to penalties into their contracts ... IMHO, many turnaround times I've heard of are silly -- ER reports and STAT H&Ps/Consults do affect patient care and could justify a 2-4 hour TAT -- most other work types could easily fit a 12-24 hour TAT with the option to flag as STAT.
It was great to be able to work any hour of any day -- now it's much more iffy and harder to make up lines if you have an unexpected down time. JMHO.
Stop saying THE REST OF US like you're some authority!
Why do malcontents like you think that anyone who has something nice or encouraging to say must be a) wrong, b) lying or c) management.
You must be one bitter, angry little person to find the need to throw a tantrum when someone else says they are good at VR. Just because YOU can't do it doesn't me that NO ONE can do it. Get it?
I'm coming on board wtih MDI/MD, have to have unlimited long distance, BUT...
my local telephone service offers that for $24.95/month. Since I'm coming from Medquist, I figured I'll be making that up almost entirely in one DAY!!!! and I had to pay my Internet for me anyway, I'm an addict with four domains of my own, LOL!
Uumm, fellow MTs. Why would a hospital director be coming to our lil ole board??? nm
:+
Don't know about turnover but new clients coming on board - GREAT company
They're not coming for shorter wait times.
There is no argument that we have, up to this point, some of the more advanced medical technology and research treatment available. However, that margin is closing. Also, just a point of fact, there are entire junkets set up specifically to take Americans to other countries for medical treatment and some insurance companies will pay to fly you to India, have surgery, put you up in a hotel/apartment for six weeks, and then fly you home because medical care here is so expensive.
Just a minute here chickie. There is work at Webmedx and plenty more coming on board. SM
Maybe if you had more than one account to transcribe, you, too, would have work. Don't spread lies on this board please. It is not nice.
Better be glad you got the easier dictators soon, because you're time is coming for the ^^^REAL^^
dictators! Be glad you got off now. I wondered where my better dictators went the last week or so !!!!! Lucky you !!!!!
I can always tell when the TT favorite MT's are off, because I get their dictators -- making it easier for me to get my line count. Yea !
TT is constantly hiring, so the above scenario is a norm.
How do you report an MTSO to the Labor Board - sm
I work for an MTSO that lies about when paychecks are sent out. We are paid twice a month, on the 15 and the 30 or 31. When the owner of the company was on vacation, I got my paycheck on time. Ever since this individual came back, it's the same old s##T all over again. I have heard that this person holds checks until the last minute and it takes around 10 days to get paycheck in hand. This person blames it on the post office being the worst in the world. Well, how come during the most busiest time of the year, I got paid on time, when the post offices notoriously are supposed to be slower? I called the post office over there and was told that I should report this company to the labor board, only how do I do it and retain anonymity? Any ideas? I don't want to lose this job YET! I have something else in the works, but not just yet. I realize this will probably be hard to prove, too.
Perhaps you know of someone yourself or had this experience yourself that you might be able to share and give some advice.
I agree - every major MTSO on this board seems to have the same sm
issues ongoing. I've seen multiple company names mentioned (just scroll down) all summer long, so it isn't a situation isolated solely to Webmedx.
I believe it IS the economy, as well as increased volumes going offshore (not at Wmx but the other MTSOs) affecting volumes nationally. There are no companies offering giant hire-on bonuses any more either.
I am also grateful for my job, even if it means flexing around more.
You're definitely in the spotlight with a small MTSO.
Easier to run under the radar with a big company, but I'm sure it just depends on the company. Though, generally, I have found small ones have close watch on QA.
As a MTSO, why would he/she feel the need to come to a public board and complain? Unprofessional in

How does a chat board assist an MTSO with nonpayment issues?
Just asking, not finding the correlation between the two, and clarification would be appreciated for now and the future.
ATTENTION MTSO's...Pay more for editing or you're going to lose all of us!
I've heard rumors, although I don't know if it's true, that MTSOs get paid the same rates for editing and typing...so they are trying to make the money off the MTs, who slave away trying to get enough lines to pay bills.
I worked for a large MTSO, I won't reveal the name, let's just say it was a very INFERIOR SOLUTION to finding employment. They pulled me off VR editing at $15/hour (and I produced for them...they got their money's worth for sure!) and put me on a line rate. After 16 years in the business, I started making less than minimum wage! We all kept telling them, we can NOT work for this rate...and slowly everyone started leaving in droves. Now, I understand they are subcontracting with smaller MTSO's just to get the work out, because they have such a horrible name in the industry no one in their right mind will go to work for them.
We need to all stand up to them and say, pay me hourly for my experience level, or I want the same money for editing as typing.
Eventually they're going to have to either pay us what we're worth and decrease THEIR bottom line, or someone else will have to do it. Maybe some of the so called team leaders or managers, who didn't care how you were suffering (and would basically just say, If you don't like the money, then quit.) will have to do it. HA! yeah right
Just say no! I won't work for minimum wage or less, will you?!
Star Stop works better than express scribe. If you want start Stop, yea it is kind of sm
expensive. I wish they did pay their QA hourly as I think they would see better quality work, but they per line and it is higher than the other person posted.
I have never had a problem with management, so I am unfamiliar with what the other person experienced with management.
Pay is always on time (most of the time early). I like the software. I guess you just have to see if it fits for you.
Paleeze.....now an MTSO board is needed. Buisness is businss. Gas station,
How many other types of companies get away with paying when they want, not providing enough work or asking that we give more and more, deciding what accounts and random changes?
I am on my 4th company just trying to find one who will come through on pay, provide somewhere close to the amount of work agreed upon, support for questions, discussion of accounts, etc. Can't even get a 'good morning'. Geesh. If MTSOs ran it like it was a business there would be a lot less conflict.
Yep, just 1 more opinion.
I never knew that a message board had the strength to negotiate with an MTSO. How cool is that? Who

Stop taking these insulting wages and they will stop offering them.

"Taking up valuable time of MTSO." You're digging deep now!

So are you then - you're on this board
.
The job board says they're hiring for...
eScription and Meditech platforms, so they must use at least a few different platforms.
They're not allowed on any other board here either.

So you're saying that all the 'hmmms' on this board

They're not "taking over" the board. It just
shakeup in the MT community. I don't work for MDI or Transcend, but you better believe I'm following every single post about this, because what's happening to these MTs affects us ALL, both now and in the future. Among other things, it's a good education to read about how this all went down, because it might give the rest of us an idea of the warning signs to watch out for in our own companies. So I am extremely interested in this thread, and what these MTs are saying about it, and how they're dealing with it.
The MDI MT's have my sympathy and my support, and all my best wishes.
Their ad was on another free board in May. I'm assuming they're in MIchigan. Said they had a 6

you're trying to start trouble on the other board too. Get a life. nm

Isn't she an MTSO owner - which MTSO ? Just curious. n/mnn

MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#
x
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

Stop using my name.
pls get your own. Little it wasnt me.
Huh? Not sure what you mean when you say used to stop
nm
lol stop it man

They won't stop either. sm
I've been gone longer and they still cc me on things. No calls though. I'd go ballistic.
You may want to stop looking at those.
Bought by Nuance, run differently now, etc., etc., may want to stop looking at the archives if it's a different co. now.
Please stop!
I thought this board was a place to come and complain - a lot of people don't have the luxury of having people around them that understand what they are complaining about, especially when you work at home. You're there all day, typing away, and even if it's a job you love, you don't have any coworkers around to talk to. Even in an out of the home job, you're gonna complain about something - your boss, the lousy hours, the lousy pay,etc., only there, you have people in the same boat to talk to. Yes, we all keep getting up and doing our jobs every day - some of us may love our jobs and some of us may be looking for something else, but any doctor will tell you that it's good to blow off steam every once in a while - why not with people who understand your situation? Yes, life is short - too short to keep things that are bothering us bottled up! This board is definitely cheaper than Prozac!!!=)
Please. Stop. Now.
Really, before you seem like you are totally unhinged. You are an example of why no MT would/should want to work at SS.
Now, put down the mouse and back away from the keyboard. You are frightening us. Seriously.
