You are not a professional and by far, your post was not an opinion

It is apparent that you possibly are one of those MTs that has to jump around from company to company.

This post by a supposed professional is
.
Actually, I thought her post was professional. Do you work at MDI? I doubt it.
she can most likely weed out the MTs just by their posts anyway if she's dealt with them at all. She did the right thing to simply state MDI MTs can come to her IF they have concerns. It's great to share info, but not ALL posts are by sister MTs sharing the good word. There are many, many who love to incite drama and there are always 2 sides to every story! Anyone can come on here and claim they are great MTs and do all that is expected of them yet are treated terribly by a company, but that sure doesn't make it the truth. About how many MTs do you think are at MDI? And how many individual MTs are here complaining? Not the same posters using different names but single persons. Do the math and figure out from that how many are unhappy at MDI, and my bet is your percentage will be low. I know of a lot of MTs very happy at MDI with enough work. But then I'm sure the naysayers will just claim those are the favorites or something.
And... I have a right to post MY opinion
of any posts here as well. There is nothing 'angry' about what I posted. Not once did I say that recruiters, owners, etc... do not have a right to post here. I stated that those who come here and post and get into back and forths and arguments with MTs are unprofessional and that such actions reflect poorly on the company for which they work or own. This is my opinion and I am entitled to post it here.
opinion post
That is, without a doubt, exactly correct.
Is ok for OP to post her opinion just as it is okey

I'm unclear as to what this response has to do with My Opinion's post.

After I read it, too late, but I did post my opinion about it so I
am no longer ill. I am one who will speak up about my beliefs as well as those of the people I know.
Have a good day.
I like the post and wanted to express MY opinion, just as you
P
And a great opinion! Good post. nm

Inside is the quote; not the red. The red in my post is my own personal opinion.
*** We started using the Enterprise Express Speech System in late October of 2007 and have already seen a 500 percent increase in speech-recognized drafted
reports. While just 20 members of our team of 300 transcriptionists
are using the system now, we plan to expand its use significantly. In
only 60 days we've seen dramatic productivity climbs and our team
loves the system. ****
Well you are less than professional. Act like
one if you want a professional response. I am not who responded in the post you just responded to but you certainly are not acting like a professional.
That was a very professional
It is professional to do this
I believe you always should leave a company on good terms. Of course, on the other hand, if work is super low and they wouldn't feel the pinch if you left, I think less than 2 weeks would work. I had to do this at my last job. I gave them a week's notice because I just could not afford to work part time at a company where I was promised full time.
Professional Transcriptions
From Florida, any info from anyone on this company?
focus is not professional
I also work for Focus Infomatics, I mean worked. I have been working for months. They payvery poorly 6.5 cents per line. as compared to other companies, that is very low. Also they trick you into thinking it is a transcription job, then they tell you when you are trained, that you are going to be doing editing, without giving you a choice. I am very disappointed with them. I also thought they were good in the beginning. They are not very professional. I would not recommend this company to anyone who is looking for transcription work.
I would think you would know, pay should never be discussed with anyone - not very professional.

I am not your honey...please be more professional (nm)

Professional tester SM
I feel like a professional tester. Tested for so many companies in the last six months I can't remember all of them - not one answer from any of them.
Just tested for Transcription1 and still have not heard from them either. Anybody have any info on this company?
Just my own professional belief sm
I personally do not think that anyone who is taught English as a second language could ever type or edit American English as well as American English-speaking people that are trained to do so unless he/she has solely devoted his/her life to mastering the craft. Granted, there are many, many Americans who do not use the language properly even a little bit, but these people typically do not become MTs either! I cannot imagine learning Russia as a second language, barely being able to articulate it, and then overseeing a born-and-raised Russian's grammar and punctuation skills. Just my personal opinion, of course. I'm sure there are exceptions...somewhere.
I thought she was professional.
I talked with a recruiter once who talked to me like I was her long lost friend... it was kind of distracting.
I like the way the DR recruiter conducted everything. She was professional and pleasant, but not overly friendly.
lol You just did yourself in, professional recruiter!
Buh-bye.
How wonderfully professional you are!
Is this from the same mouth that threaten LEGAL action for imagining having been called a liar? Calling someone a psycho and ignorant? You neglected to mention the NUMEROUS emails you write to me, not just one! Yes, I'm sure anyone checking this site for suggestions or recommendations as to where to work will find this post helpful. they will realize that we have and maintain such a high standard that loons like yourself cannot possibly ever get hired on. For that, we are blessed and quite happy, and successful I might add. You have doctor friends- seek one out and get help. I pray for you...
to the point and v. professional and well-said.

You would think a professional would use the name of her company sm
and not a moniker to post with, plus like the other poster, I am not sure as a potential employee I would need to know about her 26 surgeries (26?!!!). I think I'll pass.
Sorry, I meant Professional. Thanks
Was in a hurry 
Actually, this is a professional website and
that is probably why they told you not to mock their advertisers. Put youself in their place. If this was your website, would you want MTs to mock your advertisers?
that's professional of her. Isn't one of them taking today off...sm
Was it Kathy or Colleen? Perfect timing, dontcha think?
Professional Dication Associates
Am looking for more info, I know they use Emdat. Has anyone worked for them who can tell me about part time line requirements, hours and in general how they are to work for? Thank you.
Anyone heard of Professional Transcriptions of NW FL
Any info, good or bad?
Thank you also. Very nicely and professional stated...nm

WHAT? No one holds you back from being professional! OMG!
Talk about utter lack of accountability and responsibility!
You don't have a clue about running a business, the cost of capital, etc.!
You are an angry little person, huh?!
experienced and professional MT poster
You are just wrong. I started over 10 years ago when one could make good money working productivity with bonuses and benefits. The behemoth -- the Walmart of transcription - came in and bought most everyone out and reduced line rates and decimated benefits. All others had to also to stay in business. I have a devil of a time making the same wage I made 10 years ago. I recently left a place because I was making $12 an hour - working as hard as I could (less than 1/2 what I usually make). The HR person called and asked why I left. When I explained, she said those days are over and better get used to it. If a CEO increases productivity and profit -- they get millions. MTs are expected to double their productivity while making about half what they used to with VR. Sorry poster, this is reality. If you have prospered, be thankful, but don't put the blame of the dismal working conditions of transcription on disgruntled workers.
MDI-FL and Cornerstone Professional Services
Could I please hear from anyone who is currently working for MDI-FL or Cornerstone Professional Services. I have searched for both companies, but would like to hear how the people who are still working for these companies like/dislike working for them. Any information would be appreciated...both pros and cons.
Thank you.

Professional Dictation Associates
I was just wondering if anyone has any input on the company good or bad TIA.
Cornerstone Professional Services
Cornerstone Professional Services is a very bad company to work for. They lie and they have trouble keeping people. Find another company!!!!!
Cornerstone Professional Services
How is this company? Do they pay on time? Is there is enough work? How is the QA staff? How is their platform? How are the owners? TIA
sorry for so many questions, but I like others am looking for a truthful company with stable work that does not, dog me out.
Be professional? lol You're joking, right?
Bottom line......The levels to which I have read of some MTs stooping to on this board does not belie a professional attitude. Personally, the whole thing makes me pretty nauseous.
Perhaps you should turn your nausea towards the declining wages being offered to seasoned MTs, then you might understand why MTs choose to sign on with multiple companies.
You expect MTs to be professional, but in this day and age there is very rarely a professional attitude returned to the worker bee MT.
The MTs are the ones who are trying to remain professional in this unprofessional rat race that transcribing has turned into. I say more power to any MT that has the guts to accept multiple offers and walk away from those that won't be beneficial to your pocketbook. I for one admire you, it's not something I know I could easily do.
They were very nice and totally professional.
Then I got hired. I was a very good employee and always exceeded my required line count. They totally take advantage of that and you end up working weekends and on your days off.
Professional liability insurance
is also known as E & O insurance, short for errors and omissions. It serves to cover a professional if/when they commit an error or omit something that causes harm to their client. Doctors call it malpractice insurance.
It is very specifically NOT, I repeat NOT a part of your homeowners insurance. Professional liability insurance is LIABILITY coverage. That means it covers you if you cause harm to someone else. Insurance that would cover your personal computer is PROPERTY insurance and would indeed be part of your homeowners or renters' policy, assuming you have enough coverage for your contents and/or an electronic media enhancement to the policy.
To all MT's out there - do not ever sign something that says you will carry Professional Liabilty coverage. This has the potential for putting the liability for mistakes on you, rather than on the doctor who signs the report. It's saying that You are responsible for errors that may or may not cause harm to a patient somewhere along the line. Don't do it.
Professional Transcription Company
Anybody have any experience with this company? I haven't been able to find anything on them. TIA!

Anyone know the gal who runs Professional Dictation in Alpharetta GA?
I used to work with her way back, and we have lost touch many years ago. She probably would not even remember me, but I've often wondered how she is doing. It's been far too long and too much water under the bridge to try to contact her again, but I was just wondering if anyone knows of her.....
Professional Dictation Associate employees; may I
ask you some questions before accepting employment? Please email privately if possible or can ask questions here if you would prefer. Thank you.
Info on Professional Dictation Associates- (PDA) sm
Does anyone have any info on Professional Dictation Associates (PDA)? Please advise if you do. tx
Sometimes I want to hire the first professional resume I receive!
And just because it is so well done!
Those email wallpapers make my eyes cross and twitch after a little bit of time! If I cannot read it easily, I chunk it.
I hate it that people cannot be more thoughtful of their own careers but I'm not getting paid to advise them of their mistakes.
