You are the most immature group of people I have ever encountered. Go to work.

Well, boo frickety hoo! So you encountered some rude people...
this is business baby, it's not your mama's house or church. Suck it up and do your job. Not everyone is nice. Not everyone wakes up in the morning and sings with the birds and whistles while they work.
I encountered slow to no work the weeks preceding Thanksgiving and several days after but the past
few days it has picked up. Can I ask which account/accounts your on? I think that makes a difference. Mine are part f the Escription platform. I honestly got really ticked a few weeks ago when we had no work and they were still hiring. For one, it's bad enough when we have to share some of our work with the Indians, but how fair it is to hire these poor people who think they are getting work where there is none. It makes no sense to me either. Why not provide work to your current employees than drive them away by taking on too many new people.
Same here...super-nice group of people (nm)
.
I venture a guess that it is the same group of people..
flaming others. Not sure what they get out of it, good attention, bad attention, even bad attention is attention and it seems that may be what is going on here. Perhaps pent up frustration at other stuff in their lives and they take it out here, on innocent posters. Just a guess. I've been coming here for years, but this seems to be the worst of the worst of behavior lately.
DSG - Really rude group of people, especially the acute care side.
Got tired of their snarky remarks and moved on. Make 25% more where I am now doing easier QA and really nice group of people. Good luck to you!
"The most miserable group of people in the world"? Great attitude for a Lead.
Hope you're not one for long.
Since it's a private group on Facebook, you have to click on "request to join group" sm
It takes about a day to be added after the request is put in.
Might be only the endocrine doc in a GI group, only the pacemaker doc in a cardio group, etc. nm

I work for a group of doctors ...
that make up 5, and average 6 tapes a month ... that makes up about $800/month. The rest of my work is on word of mouth, and I do not charge by the line nor the hour, but rather by the length of time. I have never advertised, but I do get calls from practically all over the country to do medical transcription. As I said, none of these are for nationals. I have tried that route many many times, but to keep running out of work and constantly being switched from one account to another to another was nonproductive.
They are a great group to work with and
if you are a good MT, very accommodating. Good Luck!
I said there was a group e-mail sent about being out of work.
They were not limiting anything.
You may have encountered a few grumpies,
but I do not talk to my ROM. I go through my team leader. The best boss and mentor I ever had is a team leader, but I think she is still on AIM accounts. But I can still write or call her and she will always help me with anything she can and is never grouchy.
I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people
I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had. Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year. I followed my manager from another giant company.
I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start. The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced. Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it.
There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments
This company is actually still in business. I used to work for MRC Group
in Arizona. I was so intrigued by you posting MRC Group out of Maryland, that I just called the company and talked to Christine. She stated that MRC Group was bought out by MQ. Two of the brothers went on and did their own thing, while the other owner and his wife still own a part of MRC Group which is out of Maryland and have an office in Florida. The owners of this company have been in business for about 40 years now. The husband and wife have given the company to their daughter to run what is left of MRC Group out of Maryland. The company has approximately 40 transcriptionists and are currently hiring transcriptionists across the USA who will work from home. Hope this helps. I was shocked to hear this news. Sounds like a very nice office and very upbeat and positive.
2 of the accts running OT in my group of work ARE EXCELLENT sm
Excellent accounts, low ESL, good work. NOT OVERHIRED. GO AWAY.
How immature you are! Oh my...
It would be very unprofessional for them TO name the company....please.
So immature...
Did this for 3 years. No slow time encountered. (nm)
.
There's plenty of work at Webmedx - my group of accounts is running OT. SM
Again, why don't you ask your manager for MORE WORK?
I work with a rescue group so I get my share of fuzzy feelings
I financed a group to get it started, paying for the animal's care, vet bills, medicine and still do the financing. I also take my money and help others out. I just sent some money yesterday to a MT whose has a son who is in dire shape and she wants to go be with him. Not too long ago I read on here about a lady who needed help in buying a foot pedal. I sent her money for that so basically you don't know what you are saying when you say help others out. My mother said I did this from a very young age and I continue to do the same. I also take care of me, though. As far as a sugar daddy, never wanted one. I have a chef husband and a housekeeper. I work, travel, rescue animals, help others out when I want to. Priceless. End of conversation.
you know this is not true; you seem immature
nm
I also encountered a QA nazi..She made my life miserable.
She was ridiculous to say the least. Is this company out of FL or UT? It just sounds very familiar.
What lack of work? My STMs group of accounts is constantly offering OT. sm
Maybe you should talk to someone about getting more work? It's out there, within Webmedx, but you need to ask.
Boycot rude & immature posts.
Some of the messages on this board are an absolute disgrace to the profession of medical transcriptiont. No professionalism whatsoever. I know that if some of you in particular worked for me, I would not hesitate to send you to the unemployment line.
There are some really great people here and to you, (and you know who you are) thanks for your courtesy.
I think the BS would stop if we did not give any response at all to the rude, immature posts.
Wow, grow up. You're a kid yourself with that immature response...nm

Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
freak?...immature, simple minded post
nm
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
immature post.... wink wink.
nm
Do you MDI-MD people have enough work? sm
I saw an ad on one of the other boards and thought I had seen someone mention there wasn't enough work there. Just wanted to find out the current situation before I pursue anything with them. TIA!
For people looking for work
Anybody thinking of going to work for LM in PA, run for your life, not a good place to work, bad communication, or none at all, and a bunch of backstabbers.
I work for these people
Its as bad, as it sounds.
Worse even.
is all IC transcription like this?
who do you people work for? NM
x
I don't even work at TT but come on people....
today would be considered a holiday, there will be low work at ALL companies. I really don't see any reason to panic or complain. All I can say is WOW!
Nice people to work for.
Pay is higher than other MTSO. QA is very helpful and always encouraging. I never heard anything negative, even when I did make a mistake. The only reason I left is because I was offered a local account with a surgery center. I would go back in a heartbeat if I needed work.
The people are great to work with
and the pay is good and on time. I do find the work isn't as steady as I'd like though, but hey, that's the MT business, right?
let the people who want to work weekends do it
Some people want those shifts but i do not
??? some people do work weekends and some don't
why so rude and grouchy?
Research & ask people who work there
The rate may be lower but if the account is better with fewer bad dictators and impossible ESL's and the freedom to do your work instead of countless conference calls and useless emails - you end up making more bang for your buck. That sure is true in my case.
Any KS people running out of work? (sm)
Just curious.....
Yep, plenty of people will work for that.
Recently a bunch of new MTs posted that they are working for a company making 4 cpl for transcription and 1.25 cpl for editing. I about died. As long as people keep accepting these wages, they are only going to keep going down. What need is there to pay 8 or 9 cpl when they can get MTs to work for 4 or 5?
Too many people out of work these days - the more...sm
interested you let them know you are in the job, the better your chances. On top of that, when a job is advertised, I've been told over and over about the total mountains of resumes they get, so nudging their memory will only serve as a positive thing for you! Good luck!!!
Actually, no. Most people would get paid at work!
xx
go to India and work with those people sm
you support so well.
Why is OSi hiring new people when I have been out of work for 6 weeks?
I am statutory (or IC, whatever they are calling it now). I have a main account and 2 -- count them 2 -- back up accounts. I have been out/short of work for over 6 weeks.
Unless you are a full time employee, you get no benefits, no hourly, NOTHING. I am amazed that they are hiring when they have people already trained and begging for work!!!
Don't they realize that it costs a WHOLE lot more in turnover to train a new employee than to keep an already-trained one happy?
I'm looking at other nationals now. I've never been one to job hop, but I just can't take the time off any more!!!
