Your post doesn't answer the question I asked.

Posted By: how do you do it? on 2005-08-04
In Reply to: If you read my post, the explanation is all there! - The "get a life" OP

You said you LIKE to pay your bills, you have a good rapport with your supervisor, you're flexible.  Does "you're flexible" mean that you work in addition to your 8-hour shift when the work load is low to make your 20K lines per pay period?

I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer
xx
Someone below asked why no posts about KS lately? I can answer for me at least. sm

I used to post on here as a cheerleader for KS but was always bashed so I stopped posting.  I went to the owner of the company about the bashing, and she responded that while she used to get upset by this board and others like it, she stopped paying attention to it and decided that if someone had a decision to make, they would make that decision based on facts, not on an anonymous board.  She advised that I not take it personally, but I still did. 


About 15 months ago, another company contacted me and promised the moon.  I asked KS to match it, and they would not, so I left.  I became one of the nay say'ers thinking that they did not care enough to make a valuable employee stay and still did not have insurance that was affordable.


Fast forward a year.  The company I left for did not live up to any promises.  I applied for, was hired at and worked for a month or two or even three for five more companies in 10 months.


Last December, I decided to swallow my pride and go to the owner of Keystrokes to ask if I could come back.  She sent me to the recruiter who made me reapply, send my resume, answer the question sheet and take the test.  She then offered me my position back on a different account and my same pay rate.  I jumped on it and have not regretted it for one second.


I love my job, love Keystrokes and plan on staying for a very long time. The grass is NOT greener on the other side!


I am so glad that I asked:) There doesn't...

seem to be anything good about this company and that is what I asked for originally.  I am surprised that companies like this haven't been put out of business yet.  I will steer clear and thank you all for your very welcoming advice.


    


Asked for a raise; no answer in a month
I don't know what to do and thought someone's expertise could help me.   I have been at my company over a year.   I am the primary Transcriptionist on the account and keep it afloat.   When others don't get their work done they call on me and I do their work also.  Extra work, I do it.   I asked for a raise 4 weeks ago and I am getting the run around.  I keep being sent to another person, another person, now this person knows, no now back to that person, etc.   I just want an answer!!!  I feel like I am pestering them now but I feel I deserve an answer either way.  What more can I do?    I sent 2 emails last week and have had no response now.  
Doesn't hurt to ask...I asked and got a raise...
good luck
I asked for Transolutions Administration to answer this question.

Hey, Donna D. asked a question and I gave an answer...
so why don't you smite Donna D. for keeping the thread going. 
This still doesn't answer the question, does it? nm
nm
Thank you, but that doesn't really answer my questions.
nm
Nope. She just doesn't answer me. nm
nm
Sorry, should be doesn't seem progressional to not answer resume
XX
This doesn't seem to answer the question about the "comapany".

Look on page 2- J&J owner doesn't answer sm
direct questions.  As I said there, the OP gave enough specific information that I think it is absolutely true.  Who knows if this is the only company also.
There about 3 months ago. QA drops you pretty fast and doesn't answer ?? promptly. nm

I asked for the above post.... more
....to be removed. I asked nicely. The administrators on this site decided not to take it down. How sweet of them to do that.

Be careful of posting on sites that don't allow self-editing or self-deleting. If you make an error, stupid or not, it's yours to eat. The people here will not help you.
I had a post removed too and all I asked was about
companies that hire for Radiology.
OK< but the post asked who would SUPPORT
the concept?

You are *totally* entitled to having all or mostly negative feelings toward unions - they can be just as bad as nothing.

So, we'll put you down for a no thanks and move on... :)
post asked about 10 cpl for transcribing, not VR

In answer to your post
People wanted to know the company name so I answered the question.
Maybe because not ALL companies post there. He/She just asked a simple question!
x
Oops, I just asked if they outsource before I read your post! SM
That is the exact reason why I am looking for a new company is voice recognition that my account just started doing very heavily, and I HATE it! If I don't get an e-mail response from them by Monday, I might call them to see if they have any current openings.
Too busy working to post anything...plus no one has asked any questions about them lately...

I just asked the moderator to remove Denise's post...sm
from the board. Since we all figured that she must be new on this board making such a faux pas, I thought that she does not know how to tell the moderator to remove her post.

you read the post before you answer! sm
I said I was asked to do this account but didn't because of what I had heard.

Why is it whenever somebody has something to say about their experience about any company there aer always people here to b@*^! and moan and practically call them liars.

Some folks have good experiences with one company while another does not. Geeze get over it.
You mean she doesn't post her name (nm)

To answer your last post, i've been at MQ 10 years
The supervisors are downright cold compared to the ones I actually knew and accommodated me instead of jerking me around.  I still do what i'm supposed to, it just goes unnoticed.  Its scary to think, even in spite of doing a job well done, it could just be taken away like that with no regard.  I just find myself panicked with the type of work i'm getting now, lack of communication, and these posts saying its only going to get worse.  If I had a backup plan, I wouldn't be so frazzled all the time.  But this is it for now. 
Sory for double post, please answer at least one...LOL
nm
Where's my post??wanted to check for an answer
I posted yesterday looking for information on a company that had called me.  I cannot find my post or any answers.  Is this board pruned regularly?  Could not find anything in the archives either.  thanks - i may just need to post again.
Do you think you get a better response to post your resume on here or answer ads on here. Which one
seems to give the best result. 
I hope you saw my original answer to this post
over on the main board before they moved your post and thus dropped my reply....

$48 for the medical, $10 for the dental, and I don't know how much for the vision because I didn't opt in for it this year. That's per paycheck, do double that to get the monthly fee. I did opt for the higher-deductible medical; the lower-deductible premium share was about twice as much.
doesn't anyone else here think the timing of this post is
.
Don't mind the post, but KS doesn't seem
xx
I'm like to know the answer to her post also. I have worked for an MT company in NY state,
and while I lived in another state at that time, I received full benefits; Ic or employee status had no bearing on receiving benefits.  If I were the original poster, I would check this company out very thoroughly. Something just doesn't sound right tax-wise.
I agree...you post a simple answer and someone has a bad day and WHAM...
turns into a huge thing...
KyMT read her post below...she doesn't
work weekends or evenings anymore because she has been doing this for years and refuses to be a slave now. Hypocritical huh?
In case this company doesn't see this post, email them and tell them
y
You're right...that post doesn't make any sense...sm
How could high producers mess things up for the rest of us, when, in the past few weeks, we were offered incentives on most of the accounts to keep them in TAT by working extra??  And how could a responsible member of management even state something to that effect?  The only logical conclusion is that this particular poster wants to discourage high production (on his-/her OWN accord) in other MTs to keep the pickings greener for him-/herself.
Umm, MDI doesn't know who she is by her post so she isn't obligated to give a good exp.
I'm sure MDI doesn't appreciate the lies and people posting like they know something when they don't but I doubt they mind someone posting in their defense re: pure crap posts.
your post doesn't make much sense. Find another job then? That's what the rest of us do!

TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.

I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.


Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!


When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Rude answer to a rude post. nm

Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
I can answer that question with a simple answer!
Strengths - none.
Weakness - all.
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.
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't

That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore

My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm
nm
He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?

Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.
