You know, you do not have to respond to these posts if you find them annoying!

What are you, the post police? If these posts annoy you so much, why do you feel a responsibility to respond? **I'm telling**?? Control issues maybe? No one is making you read them or participate you know.

Sounds like Futurenet. I find it rather annoying.

Oh, yeah, they hang out around here and respond to some posts even n/m

If you find the original post so offensive, why did you respond at all?
Why don't you get a clue? A good number of people enjoyed this. If you dislike it, you can just move on to some rosy-happy-fun filled post and leave the rest of us to chuckle without being harassed.
I can only find negative posts about them from last year. nm

I looked through the posts and couldn't find the one where sm
She says she is NOT a recruiter. Which one is it in? I'm not sure why I'm getting involved except that I keep getting emails referring to this thread...
Gee, I tried real hard to find those good posts,
but all I could find, in addition to the other complaints already listed, were complaints about being in the "middle of an 11-minute job when it was pulled and given to someone else," "There has to be a better way NOT to make a living," "I know I am going to end up on food stamps," complaints of no compensation for down time and BTXT being down and MTs not being notified.
If there were one or two positive comments about it on there somewhere, they are certainly overshadowed by all the justified negativity, outrage and frustration that's there.
I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy, and you should be ashamed of yourself if you recommend that anyone apply there for employment these days. It used to be a good company, and like the song says, "Used-to-be's don't count any more." Although I don't expect them to "bring me flowers" I do expect to be able to earn a living wage, and those days are quickly disappearing.
Couple of posts here on page 11 near the top and then back during the summer, you should find a

That was annoying to me.
Too many emails, too many documents. Just leave me alone and let me do my job. I only need to know about QA feedback. The rest of it is a time stealer.
Other companies use instant messaging, but I'd rather do my own research than rely on someone else. I don't mean that as an insult. I think it's great that people help each other out and share information. I've been burned by it, though.
BUT did you PAY her, annoying or not
you should pay your workers
annoying
What things do you find annoying when transcribing (ex. docs spelling out wrong words, telling you where to put commas)?
What's annoying about it is (sm)
My company gave us what she would probably consider a cheesy gift. I don't consider it cheesy, and I love the company I work for, whether they give us a bonus or not. I can't stand braggarts. It's low class.
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
Fun with Annoying Callers!
I've got a plan for those annoying telemarketers, and bill collector calls that we all hate getting. Actually, I have several schpiels I use randomly for my own amusement, but this was one of my favorites.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
Hello. I said answering the phone.
Hi. My name is Mitzi and I'm calling on behalf of the Disabled Fish of America. We are an organization for Crippled, Finless Fish who have ick disease. We would like to know if we can count on your support for a donation?
B 9.
What was that? She asked.
I said, Bee NINE.
Ma'am did you hear what I said? It's not a benign condition, seriously ick is a deadly condition and these fish are finless.
Yes, I heard you. Eye Two Seven.
I'm sorry what did you say?
I-27. Now, try to pay attention.
What are you talking about? She said.
N Fourty Five.
Is this 555-1212?
Yes it is. Please ma'am, don't interrupt me. G Fifty Eight.
Gee what?
G-FIVE EIGHT.
You are crazy.
O-80.
Ate who? She asked.
I said, 0-Eight Zero.
Oh, this is such bull!
Bingo! Hold your cards people, we have a winner!!
&$*# \%*((?#! She said.
Thanks you for playing. Better luck next time!
Annoying our former company------

Very stupid and very annoying - ARE YOU FOR REAL - sm
It is Diskriter's equipment. What if you go onto a website that is not related to work, and it ends up infecting THEIR computer with a virus? Did you ever think of that?? Did you ever think about how long you would be out of work because of it? It's not that they are being nosy, it is more or less for your protection and their protection. What if your kids or partner get on the computer and play around and go onto sites that bring on a virus. How would you feel about not being able to work for a few days while the computer is being repaired?
There is nothing annoying or stupid about it. Just think about it!
Why on earth would you call it annoying?!
I'd call it being tenacious and knowing exactly and getting exactly what you want. I'd go full on balls-to-the-wall! Are you a mouse or an MT?!
 (This is so not right, but it's the only warrior image I could find!)
Then why keep b*tching about it? you guys are annoying. sm
Either IMPROVE YOUR SITUATION BY GOING WHERE THERE IS WORK or shut up about it. It's simple.
I agree-team mail is very annoying
I had to keep mine turned off--too distracting...
Yeah, Instant Messenger is very annoying
I would go crazy too. Thanks!
Annoying, Condescending, Uppity Snakes in Suits
Dont you just love how these offices screw around with your income. It is very annoying and I
sometimes wonder if they get the full implication of what they are doing to our paychecks because they are stupid enough to believe you can do all hospitals exactly the same which of course you cant.
could you respond here for
x
I wish you would respond....I do.
But if it is only me, well that definitely won't do any good. We all have to stick together and let them know that it is an insult to be treated like non-*professionals*. If more people let them know they'd at least be forced to think about it instead of deleting a lonely email from one angry MT. I am beginning to think they continue to take away from us because most MTs can't be bothered and and/or will take it. ;)
Not only do they not respond....
but then every couple of months they are advertising again. Do you think it is a vanity thing, or they are trying to create a reputation for being busier than they are? I don't understand why a business would waste time unnecessarily in this process, unless of course they are disorganized and discourteous, in which case they have a lot of turnover, which no business wants.
May I respond to that?
Yes, you do get binders, and yes mine contain way more samples than I probably need; however, the necessary info boils down to just a few pages for doctor lists and account specifics. And the crap the previous poster so delicately refers to is patient demographic information. Speaking for my account, my morning routine consists of turning on my computer, setting my demographic update to run, get coffee ready, feed the dog and cat, and by the time that's done my update is usually done or has just another couple minutes. No big deal really. That's on the DOS account by the way.
Can you respond here?
I guess they deleted my post on the main board because it eluded to a job wanted request. So, I had to repost it here instead. If you wouldn't mind responding here, I would greatly appreciate it!
I'm not the OP but I have to respond
*WE ARE IN A DEPRESSION RIGHT NOW...MY ADVICE IS TO TAKE ANYTHING YOU CAN GET RIGHT NOW. IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE LOCKED INTO IT FOR LIFE, BUT WE CAN'T BE TOO PICKY LIKE WE WERE BEFORE.*
I'm not the OP, but THANK YOU for pointing this out. I see so many negative posts on here (humorously referred to as *haterade* in another thread) that I sat and nodded my head in agreement with your post.
While some places fall far short of paradise, if the pay is even halfway decent and on time, this is not the time to turn one's nose up at a less-than-ideal offer.
To had to respond:
I do NOT find your reply rude or condescending. I only wish I could shrug and deal with it as you apparently have. Sure, I will give VR a try with it comes to my accounts. I am just dreading it because VR offers none of the things that I enjoy about transcription. I do not think the humor potential is going to outweigh what I will be losing.
It's not change, per se, that I resist because I certainly have had a lot of that over the years. I've had to learn 7 or 8 transcription platforms (one loses count) with the loss in production that always means. Three of these software changes were within the same company as some *suit* who did not transcribe decided to try out something new. I have adjusted my schedule every which way to be accommodating. I put in extra hours often, to help with TAT. I'm not a total what's-in-it-for-me whiner. But this is the change that just might do me in, because someone wants to cut my pay, capitalize on my knowledge and experience for less money, and call it progress. Seriously, other than the chance to keep working, what IS in it for me?
One reason I have resisted offers to go into QA is that I enjoy the actual transcription so much. Never have tried QA, I just do not feel I would enjoy finding and correcting the errors of others. Not my thing. I think VR would be so much worse.
I agree that MDI is a great company and I am glad to have found them after a few (okay, many) real loser companies. They have resisted offshore outsourcing and VR for a long time. I am just sorry they have had to cave to the prevailing trend on VR. Their client base expects high-quality work and I am hoping we can still give it to them with this transition. But if a lot of us *seasoned* MTs choose to bail out, that may not happen.
Did you respond to an ad?
Did they post a job opening somewhere recent that you were applying to?
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

ginny please respond
ginny, could you please give me your email so i can visit with you more?
What I don't understand is why anyone would respond to
a post that did not include the name of the company. I certainly would not. If they cannot be up front with who they are, they have something to hide.
i got the same email and did not respond (nm)
.
It seems usually I am the only one to respond good or bad -
Of all the people who have contacted me privately by email about the job and my thoughts on it, no one has ever come back and told me that I was wrong in what I told them - and I have never seen anyone respond negatively to the questions that are asked openly on this board until Tristen did it on this post.
My experience with eTransPlus may be unique, but it is hard for me to believe that I am the only person that is working happily at that company or they would not have any transcriptionists and therefore would not have a business. I know my 2000 lines a day are not carrying the company...
My experience has been very positive. I get help when I need it, I get extra work when/if I need it, not one time have I ever been told one thing and another happened, the line counts have not changed (I was given a pay scale when I started work and it is the same today as it was then). Yes, you make less if you work part time because you produce less lines - the tiered pay scale is in place as an incentive to do more work. You work harder, you are rewarded - ain't that the way most things work?
I for one will continue to be a cheerleader when someone asks a question about eTransPlus, as I have nothing but good things to say about everyone there!
You need to respond with you will comply with
stating you are now an employee. You may then be looking for another job, but from what you state, you will become an employee under those demands.
Questions about OSI, PLEASE respond, thanks
I am considering a position with OSI. How are they to work for? Is there plenty of work? Communication from company? Is QA constructive or ridiculous? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.
When will you respond to our e-mails?
nm
You never respond to e-mails.
I don’t think you meant this to respond to me
I 100% agree with you and think the OP unrealistic in thinking anyone should owe her a job just because she wants.
Had to respond to the HR situation...SM
I very recently had to contact HR@trcr.com to get a question answered about benefits and eligibility and such (I was also a TRS transplant), and got a response that afternoon.
I really get agitated when someone has a bad experience and has to dump it on everyone else, because just because your experience sucked, that does not mean that everyones will.
I for one have had nothing but a positive experience since we were acquired by transcend.
Of course, I am willing to do whatever I have to to get my line count in, and have a tendency to be a little obsessive about working, but I rarely work beyond my 8 hours and still manage my line count.
I am incredibly flexible, and willing to do what I have to. I work 2 different platforms and quite a few accounts, but this was by my choice, not due to their being a necessity for it. My goal has always been to be as flexible as possible because that makes me more valuable to the people I work for and with.
To those of you reading these posts to formulate a decision, remember that everyone's experience will be different, and that stuff posted here is people's personal opinion, and take everything with a grain of salt.
Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
Give them time, they will respond.
I wish you all the best!!
(Past employee for personal reasons only)
Who are you talking to. I did not say you weren't! Respond where you are
supposed to
Please respond about transcription south
I am really looking for some information on this company. I am suppose to start here but it has taken a month process for all of the paperwork. Just wanted to make sure they are a good place to work for. Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to respond! nm

They talk about all of this upfront. Just because they respond
to an email or resume does not mean that they want someone to work an ortho account. The first thing discussed is pay and how the account works. Otherwise, it would be a waste of everyone's time to go through all the testing and interviewing and set up, etc if it is not what the applicant is looking for!
Medware - slow to respond??
Has anyone applied to them lately? I sent an email of interest, got no answer. Sent an email to another person, a new recruiter, and received a response with just all the paperwork to fill out and the testing package. Returned the tests immediately, no response. Followed up to make sure they got them, no response. She had said they were growing (actually it sounded like she was reading from a script, very flat) so why not answer back??
Sure would be nice if they would respond to my application
wonder how long it takes
I have never had problems. They respond fast. But then again, I have only had sm
to call once after initial set up, so I might not be a good person to answer this. The guy I talked to was nice and fixed the problem right away.
maybe they're doing other things and need a day or 2 to respond.
