Do you have to be local to their office in order to work for them? nm

Emails daily regarding TAT, order of work
it's usually first thing in morning; then the auto-generated emails regarding STATS. Otherwise, it's *no news is good news.*
It would seem strange to get no communication at all.
I gave notice and was told had to work final weeks in order to be eligible for rehire. Had no
:[
But then you would be "in the know" and
they cannot have that. Personally I like being left alone because the more contact I have with them, the more I hate the company and my job!
How are you "in the know".....
Just curious how you are in the know. They are definitely keeping within TAT, so it seems.
I live "in the sticks", too....sm
and I use satellite for my internet connection. The only problems I have had in the 2+ years that I have had it are connectivity problems when the weather is extremely bad (in which case, one should not be on the computer anyway) and I have had 3 service calls, mainly related to wiring and improper initial installations issues. Other than that, it has worked well for me. However, there are some companies who do not accept satellite....JLG and TRS come to mind, although there are probably others. You just have to check out the ads and go from there. Best to ya!
living "in the sticks"
I too live where there is no DSL or cable option. I use wild blue satellite. It is fairly affordable, though more expensive than DSL, but it works great - I started out downloading with dial up, and the difference is wonderful. You can Google search wild blue to check out the service closest to you.
Oops typo! meant "in there"

go back to my message "In the Know" and click on the

BTW I meant "In transcription I have" sorry for typo.
I guess you both hit a nerve with me here and my fingers went faster than my brain. Sorry!
Lucky at-homers' - no "in-office" abuse
It's a nasty tradeoff: Work from home and receive less pay and benefits, or work at the office and receive higher pay and benefits while being berated, verbally abused and micromanaged at the office.
Screw the benefits - I'll take a peaceful life ANY day.

I meant to say playing euchre "in between calls." nm

notice the words "in my opinion" haha...WMX was awful for me
you are not going to bully me, I got enough of that at WMX
Not the only one. My co has gag order too.

What do you mean by out of order?
Do they offer IC or employee status, full and/or part time? Just curious. With respect to the out of order comment, do you mean disorganized?
Out of order
By out of order I mean she was downright rude when I suggested that I would like to work with my text Expander and dictionaries rather than theirs.
ETP has a gag order on the employees
and few privately.
Unfortunately in order to make any
money, you have to be the MTSO. If you apply with nationals and the people who have the accounts, you are not going to make the big money, they are, otherwise, why would they need you. It is very unfortunate, but it is true.
Me, too! And to think I joined DRC in order to get away - nm

That's because they have a gag order on employees
when you hire on, you have to agree not to talk about them on the internet and give them permission to read your mail if they want to see what you write. Also, you agree not to participate in any kind of union activity. This all happened after they hired some consultants to restructure their business practices...and one of the owners even canned his MIL. Fun at family get togethers, huh?
You might get some private emails, but you won't see anything posted in public by current employees.
That is probably a tall order with only

Excuse me, so you are saying that in order to (sm)
get a raise in this business and be compensated correctly for years of knowledge and medical terminology, that we have to increase our speed?
Ummm...NO! In 12 years of doing this profession (and I choose to so someone else is not raising my kids - and don't you dare call that a benefit either because it is harder) I have NEVER gotten a raise.
I should be compensated for the 12 years of knowledge that I have, not told be work faster and harder. Every other profession does that - REWARDS THEIR WORKERS FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.
It is not a matter of being selfish and want, want, want. It is a matter of what is right and wrong.
the new world order
Welcome to life at Acuspheris
court order?
Terri Davis is gone by court order? How? Why? Such dish!
Who's the businessman running the place?
More info is needed! Totally interested now!

Keystrokes, Execuscribe, MDI-MD in no particular order. nm

8 cpl isn't a 'tall order' even for a newbie. It's not

US MT's are paid so little per line that in order to
reports as possible, and the faster you go, the more junk is likely to be produced. I try to proofread everything I produce, but when my tenancy is on the chopping block and the rent is overdue, I type as fast as I can, don't proofread, and hope for the best. It's all about survival.
QA must have heard it in order to edit it sm
They knew the sound quality was bad. They had to know. I worked somewhere where the doctors dictated on a tape recorder and then played it into the phone. It was a nightmare and when I said anything, they said they could hear it fine. It was not fine at all.
It was distant, the volume was low and it was fuzzy.
Other than through a court order!!!! Never said the info was NEVER given out at all! nm

I know you need to type 1800 lines a day in order to get 11 cpl.

Your point? They have to obey a court order. nm

hmm, strange huh? You are right, wrong order of business seems to me nm

p.r.n. (and search won't allow periods in order get the right company)
Is the other company in Ohio as well?
She said she's going through the resumes in chronological order and is kind of swamped right now.

No, we did not give out information. No court order involved. sm
Obviously, TT was able to look at the information provided in the posts and determine who they FELT were making the posts.
No information has been given out by MTStars on this situation whatsoever.
Move on.

MQ has required a 40-hour commitment for years, in order to get benefits. nm

My understanding was that in order to receive Medicare/Medicaid payment sm
providers will be required to have EMR.
From of the tone of these posts, perhaps an early morning drink would be in order. sm
I'm not saying I do not sympathize with the no-work situation. I have been gone from TT for almost 2 years now, and it happened back then (without the holiday as an excuse) and will continue to happen will be my prediction. Being called sweetie and told you rock doesn't butter the bread.
You have the right idea, though ... relax, enjoy the holiday. I plan an afternoon on the patio relaxing with a friend and some margaritas ... hold the omelet and bring on the guacamole.

What determines their line? I am stressed these days. Thanks.

Sorry, title should read I Believe That...

Re: Why would anyone be WILLing to slave over this work for 27-YEAR-OLD wages?
Actually would be correct to have just said regressive wages...
Correction
this isn't clear:
The corporations call the shots with YOUR Congress/government primarily because AMERICANS are so easily pacified and distracted by the toys these corporations made for that exact purpose.
They (corporations) call the shots because of their influence; and CONGRESS helped to give them that power in the late 1800s by passing certain laws which gave the corp. similar rights to individuals...
I mixed two thoughts originally...
Correction - sorry
feedback on that PROGRAM (i.e. Isagenix), not problem.

I need to clarify this was only for emergency coverage and is temporary. My supervisor informs me that once we go to VR, only 2 inhouse full-time transcriptionists will be used and those positions are filled.
