Yes you are bragging, what is the point to come on the onto a transcription site.....
and thank your company? You have emails to your company to do that. Everyone does not get a gift or monetary give. I have gotten both and never went to a transcription SITE to thank them. I emailed the companyl, so, yes you were bragging and maybe meant to be hurtful.
Why don't you thank DR instead of bragging on here to us?

Please, you were bragging. nm

Employees are bragging about quality?
LOL, how do you know they are a quality company when they don't audit their employees?
I wasn't bragging about a 2 income household
I was simply pointing out that the MT profession is not the only ones who are taking paycuts. Wow! It seems every post is picked apart here! 
Not bragging, for pete's sake. The OP asked about if we run out of work or not. I do not. We a

Whats OP?
LOL!!
Whats up Doc?
What is up DOc. Annonimity is the best in the world. I have been with JLG far longer than you and I dont know who you refer to when you say an owner who cares for her employees. Must be a friend of yours becasuse those of us who have to work dont see the kindness you have lied about.
Whats the company's name?

why run? whats happening
I wonder what caused you to say that...I worked for Accustat of Albuquerque, NM for a year and got let go along with about 20 other MTs last December (after Christmas) with no warning or notice whatsoever. I was told the doctors for those clinics were no longer required to dictate. Just like that with one email my job was gone. I have learned this is a very unstable job field.
whats the 411 on smartmed
Ad sounds awesome. Anyone been there, done that? Only 1 post in the archives I could find.

MDI-MD? Whats the scoop? I know I have seen info on them

whats wrong with windscribe? nm

Whats the scoop on TTS out of New Hampshire?
Are they still on the crap list?
That's whats so great about America.....
you can choose to bury your head in the sand and hope it will never affect YOU, and that it will all go away. But hey, it's all good.
Well of course I plan to. Whats your problem?
MDI, Transcend, or wherever, we're all in this together. Unless of course you're on the suit-side of the fence.
Company paid me 179 for 4645 lines. Whats that 3.8 cpl?
She does not seem to want to contact me about the money she owes me, either. Thirty years and 3.8 cpl. Unbelievable.  
Whats the word on Deventure (DVHP) these days?
Prefer current or recent employee experiences. Archives seem to be a mix of good and bad, but nothing recent.
Excellent point, and point in case
look at the charlatan christian in the
Whitehouse who uses religion to push his agenda...
Christian IS as Christian DOES...
I understand your point, my point is why can't MTs and QA work together..
being QA doesn't mean you are above everyone else, you are just an extra set of ears...and why do so many MTs take offense to QA??? That is my point...you made have had bad experiences in the past with QA but not all QA are bad...
Actually, I can see your point AND the opposing point
.
I do see your point. sm
I just don't know how bringing up old news affects the here and now. The article did say that Linda only referred to this time period as the "black hole."
From what I can tell from the article, a lot of court, attorney and ESI quotes were quoted, but no real fresh news, i.e., something present. If this article was never published, I would have never known.
I also understand and recognize your personal feelings. How do you think that this is going to impact you and/or the MT community? It could go both ways of gaining clients or very wary practice managers.
My point exactly, and....
Respectfully, if this story had not been published, you would not have known. You would have not been fully informed of the business history of fraud. What if, for example, instead of selling your business to her, you entered a partnership with her ?? And then found out this history in the newspaper? If it were me, I know I would feel pretty ticked off and deceived. That negative association could possibly last a business lifetime for you.
Execuscribe (Linda) had awards locally, and has been in several news clippings and featured in Inc. magazine. She is definitely in the public eye. She has to take the praise along with the truthful reporting of fraud in her business. She owns both. Would you vote for a political candidate with this history??? Would you want your son/daughter to marry somebody with this history??
Her clients may jump ship -- I know of 2 MTSOs locally who have already received inquiries to change providers. They may change, they may not. Are they wary? YOU BETCHA! But, why is that? Not for anything they have done, but because they may be lumped into the "Execuscribe" category simply by association of being MT. Don't ya think that's a bit unfair? From what I've been told about questions asked to these MTSOs, they have to go in with their defenses lined up about how they DON'T do business, before they can even present how they DO business.
There was no "slant" to RBJ reporting. Simply the facts taken from court records. It's fresh news if it has not been disclosed previously. I, for one, will be watching them closely.
you do have a point! nm
That's my point
The "not saying more" poster said "Don't believe everything you hear about Transcend. The GOOD MTs like this company" and made it sound like if you didn't like Transcend, you weren't a GOOD transcriptionist. Those that left were there for years. They must have been doing something GOOD with the strict QA to last there for years. If they were that bad, why would Transcend expect them to sign a waiver not to sue when they leave? Transcend could always say that the MTs sucked, they were unreliable, their QA was terrible, etc. Instead they want to clear themselves from future lawsuits. That alone says a mouthful. So "not saying more" is just plain wrong in assuming that it's the MTs at fault.
You have a point.
That would be the only drawback for me was the pay. I make 9 cpl now and at Amphion I would probably only make 7.5 to 8 cpl maybe. But I love the fact that I wouldn't have to work, weekends, evenings or holidays and I can spend that time with my family. I also am trying to consider the fact that if I get a good tax return this year I will pay my SUV off and that would save $300 a month. My baby is due any day now. The hospital I am working at has me working Labor Day (if I am not in labor), and Christmas. I worked Christmas last year and that was bad enough but this year will be my baby's first Christmas and mommy will be pounding away at the computer while dh, MIL and my other dd have the big family gathering.
OK I am not bitter.....lol. Probably just PG hormones.
I also see the point, however, sm
I meant no harm, just trying to offer help and/or encouragement to the original poster. Most probably I could have done with just saying QA lest someone be offended. I expect anyone who has ever been in the position of having that type of QA person would call that type of person the same, or worse, than I did. Matter-of-fact, in real life I swore viciously at my monitor over that type QA person and called her everything but a good milk cow. 'Course no one saw or heard me and my email to the super was quite professional and simply referred to her by name. LOL
My point, exactly. Thanks. nm
:)
Yes I am, to the point I am looking for another job. nm

This is my point
MTSOs have to be willing to walk away. Yes, the facility can find someone to do it cheaper and more than likely, the quality will reflect this. A company I used to work for had a large hospital account with all overseas MTs on it. I did QA for this account. The MTSO was dumb enough to release several of these MTs from QA which allowed them to upload directly to the hospital. I'm laughing as I type this. Two weeks later, the hospital had bailed. Account gone...POOF!
I can only imagine what those reports looked like that the offshore MTs were uploading. QA is like life support for the offshore MTs. They will always need it 24/7. What company in their right mind would allow these people who understand nothing about the english language and proper grammar - to come off of QA? Unbelievable!
and your point is?
That's not the point...sm
Word Expanders have NOTHING to do with being paid for spaces.
That was my point :)
.
Yes they do... but I think the point is that it is not always right.
NM
And your point is.....
LOL.... Having postings proves nothing. And you cannot follow directions obviously.
the point is . .
I've been in this field almost 25 yrs. and even back when things were so much better, there were the catty, whiny people who chose to be unhappy no matter what. At least here we don't have to click on their posts, now do we? I hope as I get older, I won't have one of those permanent frowns I see people like that acquire. Such unpleasantness is such a turnoff. This is the first time I've come to this site in 3 mos. because I got so fed up with the petty nastiness. Sorry to see nothing's changed. :0)
And your point is what? I said
it had been at least that long, so if you are correct that there has only been 1 male supervisor, guess that's who we're talking about.
Exactly my point...
As long as this is the way we look at things, it is the way it will be. Once again, you have a couple of people who have had a bad experience, therefore ALL employers are bad.
With this kind of attitude, it's no wonder that many employers think of MTs as a group of whiners. We make that bed for ourselves.
Just want to point out...
This is NOT about ethniticity or race or anything like that. I was a marketing executive before I opted to do this and stay home with my daughter and worked with many, many foreign countries and people. The work is just as good and some cases better. HOWEVER, this whole situation is not good for anyone involved us as US-based transcription and the transcriptionists in India. They aren't being paid fairly and the AAMT has made things sound quite a bit better to them than it ever will be as many of us know from experience. As far as the horror being turned out by US MTs, in your particular situation or not, there are, in every profession, the bad apples. While unfortunate, I know that most of us care about our work quality and strive every day to put in 100% to make sure each and every sentence, word, note, dosage and spelling are perfect and correct. I have also found that those companies that treat there transcriptionists as people and with a lot of respect and awesome, noninsulting QA tend to be those high-rated professionals who are confident, hardworking and 110% more dedicated, in my particular situation.
At what point
did we resign ourselves to just being paid on time being enough from a company? There are good companies out there that pay on time but are fair and honest. Focus just ain't one of 'em. If anyone has worked for Focus full-time for any length of time and still think they are a good company, I got some ocean front property in Arizona and a couple bridges for sale.
Can't do that at this point. SM
I'm still in the honeymoon phase and wouldn't feel comfortable singing the praises of another company until I have at least given them 90 days.
Point well taken - but here's what I did
Due to being very poor working as an MT (LOL) I have had to stop buying the better grades for a time. As soon as I heard the recall, that was the day I started making my dogs food (anyone with recipes for cats?)
My reseach - and the dogs reaction!! shows the following to be safe and nutrious. Don't know if it contains everything needed in the right quantities, but you can Google recipes for dogs and choose/design your own... I baked bunch of baking potatoes till very done. Roughly chop in bowl. Add broccoli, carrots, some cheese, and your choice of meat (doesn't have to be a lot). They (3 large dogs) STAND AT THE GATE waiting to be fed and NEVER leave anything in their bowl.
Moral of the story? We don't have to make FOR PROFIT corporations richer at the expense of our beloved animals. It literally takes just a few minutes to make their food - and I don't freak out that I am unintentionally poisoning them.
This is the whole point of MT...
All of the below goes with the job. Where they mess up grammatically or terminology wise, we are educated to be the one to catch it. They are educated to be the ones to save lives and are owed that due respect. Be thankful we have these physicians for our families and children regardless of their annoyances and that you have a good job instead of complaining about it. Complaining = foolishness
