I find most joke references to Hitler to be very insensitive

I suppose
they would have told me by now if they were unhappy with my production or my hours.
suppose i should
would like information regarding employment w/ this company. not interested in gossip... would like information that would help me decide whether this company would be worth considering an offer from.
IF VR is suppose to be
better quality, faster, then the facilities and transcription companies are already ahead in the game because their MTs will be able to do more, so why decrease their pay at all since they will be getting twice the amount of work and better quality. Is that what VR is all about? Did MTs pay decrease when they moved from standard typerwriters to electric typerwriters from electronic typerwriters to computers? Since when does better technology mean decreased pay? Is this really better technology or continued lack of value for those who do the work?
she is right, she is not suppose to cut sm
you a check without your SS number. She has to have that to cut you a 1099.
If you make less than 600 you don't have to claim it anyway.
If it were me, she would not get a computer back until I got my check!
Curiosity, why did you NOT sign any paperwork? Why would you agree to that?
I'm sure I'm suppose to be an example
probably thinking that I'm a retiree I can't afford to defend myself. LOL Fortunately I have a good attorney. He's also a personal friend. LOL
I suppose 4000/mo is too low for you?
What world do you live in?
Fired you too, I suppose?
Believe everything you read, huh chickenneck? We got you again, and proved our point again. She starts this week, and a nice healthy rate as well. Jealous, I know...stop wasting your valuable work time spread rumors and gossiping and you too may be one of the lucky ones! HAHAHA!
No, you are a recruiter. I suppose that does
zz
and I suppose they are HIPPA
compliant? Cannot wait for EMR.
Are there a lot of people leaving MQ right now. Seems like that is all I see and I suppose many more
where they came from that dont come on here.
ok lets suppose you make
9 cpl - and I'll average that on 1200 lines a day, that amounts ot 13.50/hr. Thats not worth sitting in your chair for 8 hours now is it? 10 cpl - 15/hr. and I seriously doubt you make more than that. Thats a lot of busting butt for such a low wage. On a good platform with fair counting system an experienced MT should be able to type 2000 lines per day, thats with breaks, and going along at an even pace.
Suppose nobody will see this now since it's off main page. NM

If they point, I suppose she's young.

I suppose it depends on what accounts you are on
All of my accounts have been over loaded with work this past month. I'm currently doing 2500 lines a day. Maybe your friend should ask about getting more backup accounts added to her queue.
I suppose it is too much to ask. Sorry for trying to get impartial answers.
.
AND I SUPPOSE YOU GOT PAID ON TIME LAST PAY PERIOD? NM
X
Don't you suppose they realize that - have you asked for a backup? (sm)
I feel like I have sung this song before.
I suppose it depends on which accounts have openings. nm

Suppose it just adds to the hominess. One big happy

I suppose if CEOs had their way, we would be eating worms
and be thanking them for paying us the few pennies to afford our tasty worms, lest they give us another cut in pay while increasing their profits...
So what is the suggestion if all nationals are going to VR for these reduced rates. I suppose a lot
of people will just stop coming into this profession as I expect they already have and others will train for other jobs. No sure what the future holds thats for sure. Seems like no money so that will move a lot of people out of this. Who needs all the aggravation that we are given for no money.
Do you happen to know which companies HUP outsources to other than MQ. I suppose the best thing
would be to call HR but will they give out this information. Not sure who to call at these hospitals.
Seems a pretty selfish attitude ... I suppose you also choose sm
the work types you want to do and leave the cra* for everyone else. If you don't want weekend work, type for a clinic. Otherwise, you should pull your share of the load with the rest of us.
that is true about the bonus money, all works out in the end, I suppose. nm

Depends upon how your company counts things, I suppose. sm
I like both platforms. Bayscribe is easy to use, and the Expander emulates PRD+, which I was used to. The spellchecker is kind of clumsy -- that could definitely use some tweaking. The thing I liked the most about Bayscribe was at the end of each report, you saw the line count for that report and how much you made, plus a total of lines for all reports and the total number of lines you had made for the day.
I am currently using ExText, and it is also easy to use. I have to go to ichart to view my line count, though, and you cannot get it on a report-to-report basis. The CTRL+I feature is useless to me since my employer does not count headers or footers. I quit using it because I hated to see what a big difference there was at the end of the day. I could do 300 lines per hour on Bayscribe. With the current setup, maybe 250. I can do 300 if I just sit and type as fast as I can with no breaks, but that cannot last for 8 hours solid.
Either platform is okay. I still kinda miss WP51 -- think DOS-based programs were faster -- but you can't hold on to a dinosaur. And, obviously that is just my opinion. Hope it helps. 
No argument about AHDI sucking an egg, but I suppose it is just personal sm
preference. When I started transcribing 35 years ago or so, I had never heard of AAMT or anything like it, but the people in the Medical Records Department (which of course his now referred to as HIM -- why keep things the same if you can change them constantly for no rason) who transcribed the reports were called transcriptionists. The machine I used to access the dictation was called a transcriber.
Of course, it is no big deal and I shouldn't get so hung up with labels. I worked briefly for an Indian company (felt like I was sleeping with the enemy but that's another story), and they called us transcribers … ugh.
I suppose it probably varies with each account. My primary has been slow sm
since the holiday, but I am able to get my lines. I'm hoping it picks up soon.
Hope this helps.
Aren't you a positive person? I suppose you work in the office at HIS. lol nm

I emailed also, but haven't heard back yet. I suppose it will take a while to go through everyth
great line rate? I suppose that rules out the beast
haha
The rest is silence? I suppose, really strange, never mind, I can get a list elsewhere...nm

Same goes for managers
If you kiss a** you can get into a position of power there regardless of whether you have experience, knowledge or even are a newbie. They hire very few people for their power positions who actually know what they are doing for fear of being one-upped by them. That is why so many of them are on their power trips so they can feel important. People with real knowledge and experience usually don't have a need to do that unless they are jerks.
Considering what the managers have
to deal with between the clients and staff, as well as the weekends they have to work and I don't, I don't begrudge them (or anyone else) a spa weekend. It's not as if it's a trip to Tahiti. I would rather work with people who have had some sort of stress management anyway.
but one of our managers
sent out a thoughtful token, probably did it out of her own pocket, would never expect the company to give a dime more than they have to.
there are managers and then sm
there are managers. Some of then ignore all emails from MTs. I just is according to who you get as STM. They are not all created equal and some are incompetent.
A lot of the managers at OSi came from MQ
Must be from QA managers at OSi
consider the source
SPI managers
Ditto to that. All of the managers seem to be replaced by MQ former managers. The director of OP is MQ and every time you turn around new MQ manager. Run run run
How are the managers there?
I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.
She is still there now, but I keep getting different account managers. nm
xxxx
The problem with their QA managers is
in the MT business. One was a former nurse who was absolutely horrible - power trip from hell - unreasonable, mean, nasty, rude. Now she's been replaced by a some hick who 2 years ago was in an OSI company email being introduced as ". . . is working towards learning to be an MT well enough that she can work at home without supervision soon. For now she's working in-house." Too many people in their QA department who have no experience and weezled their way in by kissing a$$ or "knowing someone" who can get them into OSi in a position of power and then WATCH OUT.
Interpro managers
Anyone have experience with Interpro management where they were made to feel stupid, lazy, an inconvenience and almost accused of lying about something demonstrably untrue...trying to figure out if it is me being over sensitive or if they treat everyone this way...need my job, but need respect, too..
Not all managers were transcriptionists.
I know of one manager who used to be in marketing. She is still there now. She is and/or was not very well liked because she was not a transcriptionist. There is no teamwork. I tried teamwork, until the manager put an end to it. They could care less if you get a lunch break as long as the work is done. You only know about your manager and co-workers. You would know nothing about other account managers and their employees. They changed their name because TSI has a bad reputation. They were losing accounts. They laid off people. They can't afford incentives. The insurance premiums are insane.
Put it this way, the managers over the supervisors
are lucky to make that in some companies! That is way over the top, I highly doubt it.
All managers want yes people but OSI is
nm
Which companies allow managers
to work from home, other than MQ, and does not require the manager to type on the accounts? Thanks in advance for your help.
SPi Managers Mtg and Stuff
OldTimer, are you a current SPi employee? Maybe you are and you have some inside information I don't have, or maybe you are a past employee with a grudge, it's hard to say. Your information doesn't seem current. I am a current employee. The managers did have a quarterly account manager's meeting in Nashville. I don't know who your AM is, but I have a great one and I trust that she discussed with the other AMs with regard to line counts and work availability, etc. I do know that it is not as you said at all, there is not a condition whereby only a few MTs are trying to do the work for a whole bunch. There are plenty of MTs who have worked for SPi who are not going anywhere in spite of the fact that things were slow getting back to normal after the holidays. Things will pick up. We are all sure of that, this is a big company with new accounts on the horizon. I am not going anywhere, I love my account, my account manager, and will work through the recent changes. No matter where you go, there is always going to be changes. You just have to ride them out.
Those new micro-managers -sm
need to justify their full-time salaries (that we wish WE had) by putting in their daily 2 cents' worth with daily email (to show management that they are actually doing something) -- by either: (1) chewing us out about something, real or in their minds (See, boss, I'm on the ball  -- or, conversely, (2) the condescending email telling us what an awesome group we all are when we get them out of trouble and back into TAT, which we, up to this point, we happy to do.
Account managers
All I can say is GIVE ME A BREAK! I hear nothing but complaints!
