Wrong business
You do know you are in a business that runs 24/7 365 days a year, don't you? Why would you think as the new guy at a company you would get M-F, no nights, no ESLs and great pay? Other than decent pay, the other things are something that you work toward as a reward for staying in a job and working for a company for awhile...not something you get walking in off the street.
LOL! Is IS a very strange company run by very strange people. I have had that
very thought before and it made me laugh to see you refer to it as strange, too. Thank goodness it's not just me!
Good luck Candy!
*Strange*; nothign strange about it.
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
Do you feel better now? !! Business is business, most of it should be confidential. Why post on a

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.
Trying to build his business? He's been in business over 15 years!!!!!! sm
I also had a hard time, nearly impossible actually, getting paid. The owner does this on the side; he is very involved with other things.
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.

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!
They probably have a gag order on their employees - nm

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

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

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

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

correction..."in order to work as an MT in the US"
...
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.
Your point? They have to obey a court order. 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.

Why are you trying to stir up trouble? Keystrokes does not send ANYTHING offshore.

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. 
They sold off their equipment a month ago in order to stop chasing it down. It was practically giv
wave pedal $50. They were spending a full time person on sending and getting back equipment. I bought mine, and thought it was better than some that make you rent them or buying my own.
I just counted my specialties list. There are 37 that roll in at any time in no order:) Nice huh?

uh, and you did a little throat jumping yourself there - mail-order bride? broom closed?

maybe send a written notice requesting a money order or other recourse to the company??...nm

If you don't know what is confidential, you have no business being in any business.
This is confidential information and should not be divulged. It is one of the biggest problems a co can have. If you have to ask...well I won't be able to explain it to you
I gave notice and was told had to work final weeks in order to be eligible for rehire. Had no

Strange
That's strange, I received an e-mail from someone from this board about scoping, thought it was you  . And, I replied to that person, who knows who I talked to (and if she received it LOL).
How strange
Can you tell me who contacted you? I just thought it was strange that they sent me a contract without having me test first.
That is strange!
Where do you work? Are you employee, statutory or IC?
Strange
That does seem very strange. I'll have to poke around. I don't really even know of any other MT boards!
That is strange because they were
Maybe they are overstaffed....
What do you mean? Seems like strange

Something strange is going on!
I just signed on this morning and there was nothing to do. I e-mailed the CEO and it will be interesting. I am almost positive that the account I have been working on has been gone, but why have they not told me? Are they embarrassed? The only e-mail I got this week was that work is very slow and that they hope to be getting back up to speed. I was not told that I was let go, fired, etc. You would think a company would at least tell their MTs if their account was taken away. I've been sitting here for 8 days with absolutely nothing to do. Very strange.......
Something strange going on with this
I was contacted by a woman who seemed knowledgeable about the cardiology accounts - I told her I was very interested. She wanted me to email my bank account information for direct deposit without any documents i needed to sign. I told her I was uncomfortable doing that with just her email address and the phone # I had did not even state her name, just the phone number. I told her I would email her to see if she received my email (not my personal information), she did not email me back. I called the # she gave me and left a message to email me and never heard back from her. She had told me my resume was forwarded from Cardioscribe. I emailed Cardioscribe to ask about this person and have not heard back from them. This is really scary.
It is strange. I know when I run out SM
on a weekend or at night I can call the help desk and get another account to work on. The last time I truly ran out of work was Christmas last year.
That's strange because I
didn't need anything special for the platform. You're talking about apex right? I think it's just online and connected to their server in there office. It doesn't have anything to do with using Word.
