Do you all notice some of these job postings: *experienced, reliable and conscientious MT. Testing required* and then go on to say they pay 7-8 cpl depending on experience?* 

EXPERIENCED, reliable and conscietious MTs that have to take a test to even be considered DEFINITELY deserve more than 7-8 cpl.    

Why do you even bother replying when you are going to be so rude and negative?  Some people on this board are unbelievable.  She's asking the question for people that want to answer - nobody requires anyone to answer anything.  However, I am sure that the reply 'nunya' was really helpful though - geez...

I got into it so I could stay home with my kids.  My husband does have a good job with benefits that are pretty good.  I wanted out of the office atmosphere anyway, all the gossip and BS. 

I had been made a verbal offer, so nothing submitted in writing.  I did just call, and will be receiving my paperwork today.  Thanks for the info.

Hello all.  I'm getting hit from both directions with emails and reports here!  Sorry, I don't work for TT so I don't know what is true and what is not.  From what I can see below there was a problem today, but it has already been addressed and fixed by the company. 

With that being said, I will leave these messages on the board.  I'm going to ask that this conversation be done though.  I'm getting requests from both sides asking for removals of certain posts or all of the posts.  Everyone wants a place to post and get their questions answered or simply to find information, so as a general rule we want to leave the information to be found.  However, this topic has gone beyond that and turned into nothing but an argument.  Even the non-TT posters are getting in on the argument.  I appreciate everyone's understanding.

Complaining on this board about those issues is not appropriate.

that there are no greener pastures.  I have found a terrific company I have been with for 6 months.  I love, love, love it.  I had to take the chance myself in trying it out, and figure out what was most important to me in terms of scheduling, platform, and pay.  That's what you are going to have to do, too. 

You have to always bear in mind that things can change in a heartbeat at any company.  Accounts come and go, personnel changes, policies change, and the once perfect company can take a nosedive or a once yucky company can become a transcriptionist's dream.  You have to go with the flow.   

to conform to your agenda.  WHAT poster is ADMITTING to WHAT??  You seem to be implying that the Leads are assigning the YUKKY work, as you call it, to a number of persecuted MTs -- and the others are selected to receive better dictations via selective electronic cherry-picking.  The work does flow naturally, according to: (1) The particular account that particular MT is assigned to, and (2) Priority, per the client, of any particular job

A primary duty of the leads, whom you seem to have chosen to unfairly malign, is to ensure timely TAT of jobs and ensure a smooth & fair distribution of work.  Toward that end, the lead may rarely have occasion to assign a particular STAT job to an MT to ensure that TAT is kept.

But do you really think, on a large hospital account with sometimes countless dictators, a Lead has the time to listen to each one of the multitude of dictations in order to decide which one is YUKKY (per your definition), which one is O.K and which one is great - and then selectively assign each job to his/her favorite MT du jour ?  I wish you could hear yourself.  Paranoia seems contagious on this board.

Amen to all that you said.  I, too, feel that management should have an overall feel for the account.  That is where I would like to see communication.  If they have an idea that an account may be going to EMR or whatever, they really should give us a heads up.

And nobody needs to give me any crap about reading my e-mails.  Yes, our owner sent that mail about the ebb and flow, but come on get real.  It was very general.  It was very like: Tell me something I don't already know.  Don't tell me to flex my hours or how this business can be that way --- anyone who has been around for a while knows that. 

Tell us, specifically what we can expect from our on specific accounts.  Tell us specifically if we should look somewhere else for work, anything!  If you truly cannot say anything helpful, then maybe you can say something encouraging instead of giving us a bunch of hot air.  Like telling us you understand, and that you understand how hard it can be on us, our families.  DON'T tell me that I should manage my $ better for times like this, HOW DARE YOU!   

Instead we get generalized comments about the nature of the business and if we are good little MTs then we will learn that this is the way of the business and we should be smart enough to flex our schedules (gee, ma, I would've never thought of that).  We get HOUNDED about committments that cannot be kept, and YES you do HOUND and yes you DO expect committments to be kept when things are slow, because for some unexplicable reason things don't look slow to management when they sure as heck are on our end.

Whatever.  I'm just tired.

I have never been with the Q by the grace of God and I haven't had a lot of MTSO jobs, but I really have nothing to complain about at TT and plan to stay there unless I find something in-house which may happen when pigs fly.  I don't know about ADORING working there, I would ADORE to be independently wealthy but that also won't happen!.  You will be fine, you will like it, and yes, they will treat you like a person! 

To all of our posters on MTStars:  We have experienced an individual who is apparently running a scam.  We want to make you aware of this situation and urge you to be discerning in any e-mails you receive regarding this and diligent to report any contact with this person or other similar situations with us immediately:

She is asking for $100-200 for work at home jobs.  Once payment is sent via PayPal or check, she vanishes and later (after repeated emails and calls) sends a mail with links (mostly broken) to Work at Home Job sites, which any MT can find by simply using Google.  Her scam is via telephone!   The emails she sends out contain only the following information:  Call Sherry Robinson 828-675-2119

 I know because he sent me nasty personal emails from a SoftScript email address with his signature block at the bottom.  I sent them a resume.  The next thing I know I get a not so nice email from the recruiter telling me I didn't pass their test and did not met their minimal requirements for employment.  I questioned her as to how she could determine this without my testing.  My resume clearly states almost 20 years of acute care MT experience with high QA scores consistently.  She insisted I had tested with them and failed.  I think I would have remembered taking the test.

I was blasted by the recruiter in an email.  I was frustrated and I posted here about a ditzy recruiter at SoftScript.  Well, this opened up a barrage of nasty, almost threatening emails from the Director of HR telling me I was just mad cause I was turned down, how bad my test was and my lacking skills, he knew I had been fired from all my jobs, what a wonderful MT the recruiter was, etc.  I still have the emails if anyone cares to see what type of management professionals they have at SoftScript.  Anyway, then the wacko came on here and started to do the same thing to ANYONE who said anything negative about the company, including another MT who had the same thing happen to her as me, turned down before she even tested.  So to sum it up in a work PSYCHO!!

I've noticed lately that almost every time someone asks a question about a company on here, some rude person keeps posting Why don't you read the archives? or Search the archives? You know who you are, and please stop it!  Before you get upset, I'm not trying to be hateful.  I just want to make a point, and I believe I speak for many others who have noticed this as well. Consider these two points before doing this again...   

1. The poster may be new to the site, and they haven't figured out the search options yet. We all have to take time to figure out new sites we haven't been on before.  Rudeness will prevent them from wanting to come back and will give this site a bad reputation. 


2. Most posters have already read the archives, and they are looking for current information.  I saw this the other day...   The poster plainly stated they were looking for current information.  She even went so far as to ask you NOT to tell her to search the archives, as she already had.  You STILL posted a reply telling them to look through the archives.  Why?

I could understand seeing this once in a while, but you're doing this every other day.  Please, don't do this anymore.  Let's be kind and considerate to other posters on here.  After all, we're all in this together.  We're here to try to help each other along, not to try to make others feel stupid. 

Thank you!
