In Reply to: To reiterate, you are INCORRECT, not the recruiter. (sm) - I know my facts regarding Proveros.
and go to work for Proveros! If everybody who works there has your attitude, I'd sell pencils on the corner before I would even speak to a recruiter! CHILL OUT!

I am not so sure I'd jump on the KS bandwagon...
I applied and they said they only wanted full-time and would I consider that? So they talk out of both sides of their mouths. I have 15 years of experience with Meditech and I would have agreed to a set schedule including a weekend day for employee status and worked on Meditech since I know it, and the recruiter told me no part-time and I sent my resume through their site and she responded right away. So, if this is a sign of how they operate, I am not so sure I'd want to work there at this point. That is not fair at all. I have a lot of experience and for them to just shrug me off yet turn around and hire a part-time person, that's just wrong! 
Posts like these just make me want to
My teens insist posts like these are just cleverly-disguised troll posts, designed to inflame the board. Sadly, I don't think so. I honestly think many MTs are just totally completely you-fill-in-the-blank. Its disgusting. WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY? I don't know the company, but have read the problems for weeks and months on this board, and obviously so have you, and you call late paychecks - and we're not talking a day here - late paychecks HOOPLA, and on top of the other major serious problems with the company, which again you have read, YOU WANT TO WORK FOR THEM?? Sick. Go work for them, and then don't clog up this forum with your hysterical whines when you don't get paid or don't have work or don't have a company or don't have whatever you are looking for by taking a loser job. Sheesh. When does this end?
As you can see from posts below, new hires make more than I do. nm
your posts always make me laugh.

These posts make me laugh. I don't SM
have time to put a target on someone's back and I doubt anyone else doing this job does either. Many of us have a production quota to meet, just like you do. Do you really think I am going to slow down my production so I can gather my peers to develop a strategy to make your life miserable? 
I am not on the Keystokes bandwagon, but sm
lots of people seem to be happy there. I almost applied there, but they listed a pay of 7cpl or something and it seemed ridiculously low. I have 30+ years of experience. REGARDLESS ....... if you find a company that makes you happy and you feel good about it .. I'm very happy for you. Don't let the naysayers bring you down. :-)
Couple of posts above it was 4 new accounts, now it's 20? Make up your
mind!
Your posts make my eyes bleed -

I don't understand why people make posts
telling people to stop whining. Isn't that the whole purpose? We work remotely and as a result we need this catalyst to communicate with one and other. If you don't like people venting then YOU should stay off!!
I too jumped on the Transtech bandwagon
I had more work than I knew what to do with, then they hired a lot of people for new accounts which really hurt my accounts until they were settled in but thankfully that has been resolved and I even volunteered for 1 of the new accounts. They have a very small office staff and trying to get questions answered is like pulling hen's teeth. The manager seems to try to do everything herself instead of farming out some of her responsibilities, they are growing so much but their office staff is not growing with them. They are real nice though and I hope we won't have the work shortage we had the past few months. I had more work than I knew what to do with for a year and then nearly zilch.
No, this MT person just hopped on the bandwagon
getting herself into and was so happy to sign-up soooooooo quick with TTD because it seemed like such a great opportunity, that now she's eating crow and trying to defend her soooooo great job opportunity that she and 2 others bit on and now have nothing to say but so what.
Attention ICs: Get on the bandwagon & report the companies
From the IRS website:
According to the IRS, a manager hiring a contractor has the right to control or direct only the result of the work — not the method of accomplishing it.
Very neg. posts about TH - running out of work, getting nasty when you don't make your lines. TC

Your posts make absolutely no sense. Glad I dont

think they jointed the bandwagon of overhire as a company policy? NM

Sure!!!!!!!!!! Jump right on in!!!!!!!!!!
After the wage and hour uproar they most likely won't ask you to work overtime and not record your hours
May I jump in here...
I have already applied to TT, finished the testing, etc. Does anyone know how I might follow up on my application? Has anyone here done so. I know a lot of people have applied here and they are probably swamped. It has been about a week since I finished my testing. Should I wait another week or try to pursue a followup?
Would jump on more pay
if it doesn't work out can always rely back on your MT skills. As long as work load isn't too much and too stressful, as QA can be much of the time.
may I jump in?
it is not just medical; this is everywhere, I think it is a direct result of shabby schooling. The kids are not getting the same basics we did. At my 30 year reunion, this was a big topic of conversation. Some things are better and more in depth, especially social studies and math and sciences, but good basic English has gone by the way side. and then, of course, there is the internet which I guess actually has more people using some writing skills that otherwise they would not have. and I don't care what anybody says, the boston tea party was not an accident! You really have to be aware of what your kids aer being taught now. Our parents would have been down to the school so fast. Now they are teaching some religion, just not Christian. Big dispute on Houston radio last week. well, enough of that for awhile. Just had to vent.
Where exactly are they all going to jump to?
This has been coming for a long time. I for one am going to try to go into with a good attitude at least and give it a shot. I left my last company (MQ) not only because of VR, but because on top of it they put everybody in huge work pools (otherwise known as the cesspool). It was an impossible situation. They will all be doing it before you know it. Nowhere to go but out of the profession altogether.
I am so tired of having to jump
accounts to get a laughable report count. With the company I work for I have to work on 4 different accounts to even get the minimal amount of work daily. I cannot stand it anymore. I have to be the most flexible person in the world but enough is enough. Are there any companies out there that allow you to work 1 Radiology account and actually get a decent report count by the end of your shift. I am lucky if I hit 80 reports a day and that is just not cutting it for this single mom.
I guess I just needed to say it outloud. TIA.
Just jump right in. They're okay. nm
:L
Why don't you just jump over to MDI side!
You think Transcend is bad, honey work a week with MDI and then let's compare jelly beans.
Sorry to jump in, but it really IS common
sense not to post account info or patient names. Yes, the rules of posting are plastered everywhere, and any Transcriptionist of 15 years should know NOT to post private client names anywhere. So, you are arguing and looking more silly.
Jump ship
Their pay plan is horrible to work with. The bonus is based on your QA score, if I'm not mistaken from the month previous and that goes through the whole next month. So if you have a bad month, it will haunt you for the next month!
its sad when ppl jump on a company
just because they can't or won't do their job right! As part of the management at Shapin, I really don't understand where anyone could honestly say we have poor management. We strive to help each and every MT and editor....So...if you're bitter...you must be a bitter person!
Jump on board!
Same with me -- no test, immediate offer, so I jumped and I'm glad I did!
Oh, I would jump at that chance if available!!
nm
jump ship now
you won't be sorry.
I would jump on it - MDI-MD is very selective
in whom they hire & would consider myself fortunate to be offered a job with them. Their entire staff from recruiter,liaison,& technical support convey that they are the best!
I've been with MDI-MD for 3 yrs & couldn't be happier! Workflow on my account is 98.9% & is predominately steady; however,there are seasonal periods when work is low or nonexistent. I do have a secondary account, but if that account is low also, I've made sure I've ensured myself a safety net by working extra when the accounts have been bombarded with dictation. There again, I could ask for another account to fill any deficit if I felt it was necessary to do so.
Simply speaking,it boils down as to whether you are truly a SE & are willing to work hours other than 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I have adjusted my body clock & work late afternoon & evenings with plenty of work left over from those signing off at 5 p.m.
Everyone with this company is just fantastic to work with. I can e-mail the manager personally, my liaison or tech support,& know I will receive a reply via e-mail,if not a phone call,within a short period of time, if not minutes, of doing so.
If you have any other questions,please feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to answer them or guide you to the appropriate person at MDI more qualified to answer such.
I think others can jump to another company
but what I see coming in your companies is probably VR right behind them. What I would suggest if people are so against even trying is that, if they are younger, to train for another profession. Nursing would be an excellent choice, nurses always needed, any type of medical field because even in hard times people still have need of people in this field. Ultrasound, MRI techs, anything if so hard to grasp the idea of technology coming down the pike. I personally think by changing jobs will not take care of the problem but changing professions might.
I saw the typo, so don't jump all over me, lol. NM
.
Oh yes. I believe I'd jump at the chance.
I really have to say that. Although I have dedicated my life to this job, that fact is easily lost with the smallest infraction by people who scream at me in CAPS. I want to enjoy doing the work I do with such care.
MQ IC's jump on the system and "hog" up
It is like that at any company I have been with, whether we were all IC's or all employees. How some people can wait until the last minute like that EVERY pay period is beyond me.
Before you jump into transcription you should know that we have all been told that
all transcription work is going to VR Editor with very, very little transcription and that we are all going to take a cut in money! Most people at Medware are great and most of them are not the ones making the decisions that will impact us. Going to transcription is certainly not a longterm save for your paycheck!
Don't think I want to jump into the MQ frying pan with all that's been happening lately. nm
s
Oh, so your not seriously looking for another job, just trying to jump start them into paying more..
Not sure that works because there are still way too many transcription companies using Escription that pay less so they probably don't feel to motivated to increase their pay. Although I do know a lot of MTs that have turned them down because of the low pay. Personally, I applied but I couldn't take the pay cut.
I have to jump right in this cesspole & answer
This is what I know and/or what I was told by 2 ex-managers there.
1. You are expected to be on call 24 hours a day.
2. You are raked over the coals if accounts go out of TAT (if your MTs decide not to work for whatever reason on the same day).
3. You make a LOT more money as an MT.
4. You do not have to relocate but you will have to go to Douglasville for a week to get the inside scoop.
5. If you've been a thorn in their side, they won't hire you, so don't even bother - SERIOUSLY. See #6.
6. They hire only patsies and brown-nosers for managers.
7. There are MUCH BETTER companies out there. I feel like a frickin bird out of prison and have never looked back.
Don't jump the boat too quick...sm
Good morning! I feel your frustration. I have been in a situation like that and actually did have to leave the company. Being that it was just a holiday weekend, I would suggest just hanging in there a little longer. The company I work for takes about a good two or three weeks to get back to normal after a holiday, especially if not many MTs took PTO. Maybe give it a couple more weeks and see if it improves. Ask for a backup account to learn while you're out so you at least have that for next time. I know it's hard to be patient, but it might pan out. :)
Blessings! :)
Why did so many MQ employees jump ship? sm
I have heard made mention on here numerous times about the exodus of transcriptionists from Medquist.. Am curious why it happened? Medquist from what I remember from years ago used to be THE place to work. What happened? Did they start sending work overseas or something?
I'll jump on that wagon . . . sm
I have taken a chance, been here 2 years, things plummeted very badly in the past year but I have decided to hang in there. I told them what I wanted and so far they are, in my opinion, looking out for me, as I am meeting my minimum (that I set with THEM) requirements. I HATE thinking the grass is greener on the other side and finding out what a complete joke some of these companies are. I pray that I made the right decision, because the job hunt is way to stressful. If I have to do it again, I will probably leave the MT field altogether.
Don't jump to conclusions about Wbx being responsible here - sm
you never know what is true in advertising. I'd be questioning the integrity of the J&J recruiters, rather than Webmedx!
Complex issue - don't jump for
First, this isn't as certain to happen as some might think because it's up to Congress and it has stiff opposition.
Second, if it does happen, it won't necessarily impact jobs all that much, although you'll hear this administration spinning the jobs numbers to try to drum up support. A tax provision is ALWAYS about revenue first, and the secondary effects are ALWAYS unpredictable. So this will probably increase revenues somewhat, but there will be ways around it.
The impact on jobs is very uncertain. For instance, in our industry one of the main reasons for offshoring has been the shortage of MTs here; the tax benefits have been a secondary consideration. This tax change won't do anything about that, although, again, you can expect to hear a lot of numbers being rattled off by the White House that can never be proven because they have cleverly included jobs saved with jobs created, making it necessary to try to prove a negative (that thanks to them a job was not lost) in order to challenge their numbers. The employment numbers game has always been very murky and they added a layer of muck to the murk by deciding to lump jobs saved and jobs created together. The upshot has been that you can no longer rely on any estimate of what impact bailouts, stimulus spending, etc. has had on jobs at all.
I'd jump on it as I think I'm making $10 an hour after sm
I made $30 an hour last year. The pay keeps getting lower with this home based MT work. VR is going to nail the coffin in for me. I'd jump on that job if I were you. I'm dealing with 300 doctors right now and nobody to ask a question. Just me wanting to shoot myself.
How many hoops do you have to jump to be hired by diskriter?
I received a call from Human resources. Apparrently, I passed the test. Now, I have to wait to talk to someone else. Am I wasting my time? I have had it already.
Thanks
can you give initials? Trying not to jump into the fire.
nm
use caution before making the decision to jump to TH
x
they don't tell you because many will jump ship and they will be short-staffed. SM
Maybe not all, but the majority of companies will not tell their employees when they lose accounts, outsource, etc. They are a little bit smarter than to chance losing a large number of employee. But they won't hesitate to dump you without notice. Unfortunately, it's called corporate business.
