First of all, a company is a company, no matter what size it is. Next, there are a lot of people who want to keep their company small for many reasons. For one, they have so much less on overhead and therefore more money to make their employees happy! None of the mom and pop companies I worked for EVER had serious issues (stayed in business for years), and had plenty of potential for growth just by word of mouth. Where do you get off?? As far as being turned away when sick, etc., the opposite of what you say is true. Mom and pop love your work and need you, know you as a person, and will treat you well as long as you are a good MT. The dog knows the hand that feeds it.
The rest of your post is babble...you are defending your love of TT and what a great MT you are, not afraid to work on more than one account, etc. Has absolutely nothing to do with my post. BTW, I am not complaining about the company I am with, and I make twice what you state for 2 weeks, even after all deductions. Maybe tomorrow you will be in a better mood. I was simply stating MY opinion about a topic I have been thinking about and don't appreciate your B****y post. Take a chill pill. I've been reading your posts and you definitely need one. Good day mate.

UMMM
Well when you are told to be careful and ask questions, that is when you need to a QA person, which you are told are available to you at all times. And if that person did not have the skills, I doubt OSi would have hired her in the first place. QA can pick on whatever they want with OSI. They are the "Gods" of transcription. Get real
Ummm....
And you're griping why? It was YOUR choice to be an SE. OSi didn't choose that for you. At the time you are hired you are told SEs don't get the same benefits as employees. DUH!
Ummm...no. Obviously not.
There are certain circumstances where it is understandable that someone left a job or has multiple jobs on a resume. I don't necessarily see that as job hopping. That's just survival. As I said below, it's fairly easy to spot the job hoppers as opposed to legitimate job changeovers.
A little advice, though. If you only worked somewhere a few months and it didn't work out and you had legit reasons for quitting, sometimes it's best to leave it off your resume. It's not a huge benefit to your experience and it might serve to make you look unsteady. You can still say you have some degree of experience in that specialty or whatever, but there are just times where it's best to just omit the small stuff. I think we've all been there -- got hired on my some small MTSO that didn't pay and left soon after. I don't even include those on my resume because it was just so inconsequential.
ummm... no
That is what the AZ MT said. She said I said a lot of things. Which are incorrect. I never said I spoke to the owner. She just assumes it, or hears what she wants, or is spreading her fair share of lies herself.
ummm not at all!
nm
Ummm....
Ummm...it's my DAY OFF
ever heard of those??? Keystrokes does give us days off. Amazing, huh?
ummm sm
My rate last year was 0.9 cents a line. I worked an average of 6 hrs a day. I grossed $36K.
I took a pay cut...initially...with a new company this year. At my usual 16-17K lines every 2 weeks (now that I am up to speed) I get 9.25 cents with incentive. I work an 8-hour day, but the money is better $150 a day? I don't have the calculator out right now. That is what? $750 a week? Yup and $3000 a month, $36K for the year. Though this last week I did a bit better than that. I have been with my new company right at 2 months and quit my sucky part time job, so my lines are going up. Shooting for 2000 lines a day over the next month or so, be where I want to be then, and my line rate will go up yet again when I get this done.
It didn't come with food stamps...but I can manage on $36K a year as I don't have to buy makeup, nice clothes, gasoline or lunches out.
ummm...
your old company DOES
Ummm
It's actually a lot more derogatory than that, at least where I come from. Chicken necks were girls who performed certain deeds for men for money. Called chicken necks because they made the same movements as a chicken with their head during said deed I guess. Makes the poster that much more disgusting, huh?
BTW it was called rubbernecking when trying to look at car accidents, etc lol!
Ummm, no it's not
There is likely no home MT that has the security required to be able to store patient info. So if you are assuming that because your employer says Save the reports you're safe, you're wrong
ummm...
No offence, but that is a pretty piss poor attitude to have about work.
I understand if a major company cannot give you one on one time or will not go out of the way to help an individual. But when you have a small company of maybe 30 people and the QA person personally insults your work and you that is another story.
Ummm,YES
If you wanna be a machine, go ahead. I would rather be a human. And no, I am not a transcriber, I am a transcriptionIST, thank you.
Ummm, thinking twice already (sm)
Not going to take my 10 years experience anywhere and be paid less than a trainee new grad from high school because her mom knows some guy. No offense to you but I'm offended honestly.  Call me old fashioned but I want to be hired and paid based on what I know and not who I know. Where are the honest companies that will pay for experience ?????????????????????? I mean obviously you caught a break but this is distasteful to me and frankly turns me off towards this company. Just dropped an account I loved because the managers and owner have no MT background, can hardly spell, but are all chummy friends who allow cherrypicking and all sorts of crap based on favortism...not signing up for that again.
Ummm. Hello. Gee wiz is not the same poster.
Because I am the nut case whose post you continue to twist around 9 days to Sunday to suit whatever rant you are in the midst of. Since I have already given you permission to trounce me to your heart's content and you apparently still seem to need to continually reinforce your insufferable self-righteous superiority complex, I will leave you and your hateful blather to the others wolves in the pack.
Before I do, though, I will point out how extremely threatened you start acting whenever you sense you are being confronted by anyone with greater than a double-digit IQ. You also seem to have less than zero tolerance for clever dialog (your words, not mine) other than your own perceived brilliant insights, being a legend in your mind and all.
I'm not planning to push any more of your buttons, so you can relax and have the stage all to yourself. Not to worry. I'm also not jumping in to confiscate (LMAO) YOUR conversation, dear...only trying to defend the innocent poster you have mistaken for me. I wouldn't dare think of stealing your thunder. You have a lot more use for it than any of the rest of us ever could.
Your silence is not my victory? Gee, not only did I need ou to tell me what a failure I have been all my life, but apparently I am too stupid to even realize that I am participating in some sort of delusional contest you seem to have conjured up.
Ummm...she said that the patient himself...
asked her to go over the records. I do believe that fact that the patient himself makes the request would be the required consent.
Ummm....I have been with MDI a LONG time
I know a lot of MDI MTs and everyone I know says how many lines they will do on any given day, but they are NOT required to work specific hours. As I said, I've been with MDI a long time and before that I was with Signal, which was also Dorothy's company, and it worked the same way.
Ummm, ever see the original MT ID field?
.
Ummm, well of course I'm not speaking for all accts..
However, I do happen to know that the majority of the accounts have ADT feed, which provides all the DI info right there...nice try though!
Ummm, this is a message board, not a test.
transcription test, thank you very much!
Good quality reports? Ummm, no.....sm
The reports I edited when I was there were NOT of good quality. Sure, there were a few MTs (maybe 1 or 2) who produced good work with very little errors, but many of the MTs were offshore, and the work was atrocious. Had to fix MANY errors, and unfortunately the MTs never learned from their mistakes. It's frustrating having to correct the same mistakes over and over and over again. Even the American MTs work was not the greatest.
for being sick. geez, louise ! ummm, not doing your job and disappearing? perhaps...
they have great benefits. I've been there for almost 5 years and it's great. Don't listen to the naysayers. Make your own opinion after you get here. Bitter people make the worst advocates.
Ummm...No, large account I'm on just has good dictators....
It's on EditScript, and I was system receiving alerts of higher priority jobs coming through and I accepted them. The dictators were by and large very good and many of the reports required minimal editing.
It's luck of the draw when it comes to being placed on an account. I am very grateful to have been hired for the account I'm on.
Sorry you apparently aren't as happy. I hope your day gets better.
UMMM - I'm not at work, no need to correct as I stated below, I know post had errors.nm
nm
Ummm, I work outside my comfort zone, in fact, do all worktypes on 2
both speech and traditional, and I don't have any work, either.
Excuse me.....what?
we need more details please.
Excuse me, but...
I would say 200 million in DEBT is pretty much going down the tubes. HS was a great place to work, but Spheris leaves much to be desired. I won't even dignify your last comment with a response. lol I was with HS since the very early days, so I am sure I was with the same company longer than you were, as I just recently left myself. Oh wait, every company I ever left? Let's see, 8 years at one and 7 years at the other one. I would say that was a pretty good track record, dear. Sorry you had to make it personal.
Excuse me? But where, exactly did
I simply expressed that radiology and pathology will always be around and need to be transcribed and that the school sounds like the cost is too much. Where am I missing the bullying/harass?
excuse me? you don't know me...sm
ooh - someone woke up nasty or stayed nasty all day, huh?
IF you are presuming to know me, you're coming out of left field...and you have a choice - you did not have to respond.......
Go enjoy your weekend - hope it doesn't rain anymore on your parade.......
        
Excuse me! Wow.
x
Excuse me? If I say they did, they did. I ought
to know. My start date was the 1st of the month. Actually my first payday was supposed to be in the bank the 15th of the next month. So do not tell me NEVER when it happened to me. I also know others it happened to also. I do not post things that are not true. I have all of that information and the emails that went with it saved so if you want to post an untruth and say it never happened, you don't know what you are talking about or your memory has lapsed...depending on which KS MT or mgmt person you are. You won't intimidate me dearie, not when my bank account is the best proof along with the documents that support it.
another excuse
I worked for a company that said they maile dchecks Tuesday but it was postmarked friday, and the best excuse was that their bank had an error and they had to wait to send checks, and when they went out - they bounced, so another week or two before the money actually came - anybody ever have dealings with a bank that in themiddle of having the account they began holding your checks for mor etime - usually that is beacuse you bounced to many outgoing, so they hold your deposits - but as MT we are stupid and must believe the hype. I say if a check bounces, press charges, show them we mean business, and if oay is late - tack on surcharges, after all you are contracted for work and pay date is part of the contract. there should be no ecuses, we are not allowed any room for our TAT, we work very hard for the money
There is no excuse for this
The company I work for I don't have to rely on the dictaphone website for my line count where I work now, I look under the sessions stats which are DISABLED on your system. Even if there is a lag there is no excuse for the awful line count, the line count lag has nothing to do with your production. You can put all the shortcuts you want in but your're still gonna work your fingers to the bone. I do about 270 lines/hr now, where I used to do about 150 there if that and that was really struggling. When there is that much descrepancy then I have to wonder what the difference is. Headers and footers are not counted on the account I work on either. Hope things have changed for your sake, if so, thats just great and i wish you luck!
Excuse me but...
I am not the one calling someone small minded. I do fit in at DSG. It is a great place to work if you are a dedicated hardworking MT, so thanks for the compliment and good luck with your job hopping. Hope company #26 will be able to please you.
Well, excuse me!!!!
make roughly $15 an hour? But you REFUSE to do high ESL's. I am glad to know that you can find a job and be able to REFUSE work and make your coworkers pull the load. HEY, KSMT2, how does that make you feel? LMAO. You two are a joke!!!!!!
That's always the excuse
You must not have met their standards. No, they are just a lousy, disorganized company. They did not meet my standards, and I am not the only one. There are many MTs who have had the same exact experience. This is not new information.
To Excuse me?
Well stated!
Excuse me????
Who do you think you are to say this has never happened to me? I have been an MT for 20 years!! Aren't you doing the same thing as the cherry pickers by whining about the crappy report you got? You guys actually look up the job to see if someone dumped it? Are you that pathetic as well that you can't handle transcribing the thing either? It boils down to this - If you are good, not a single report will slow you down. If you are a terrible MT who only can do easy reports, well, I could care less what you throw back in the pile. If my child happened to see a doc who was ESL and an MT started whining about getting the crappy report and spent even a second trying to see if someone was cherry picking - well, I would fire their lazy butt!! All I'm saying is do the darn reports and quit worrying about people who cheat, they aren't any good anyway! You guys call yourself MTs? Please! More like a bunch of babies! This is why being an MT is no longer considered a profession. There was a day when we cared about doing our part for the physicians and the patients. Now we have a bunch of typists complaining and whining. We actually used to get paid very well! I can see why rates have gone down - there aren't any real MTs out there anymore.
Excuse me?
You guys are such a joke!
Excuse me?
When did I defend anyone? No wonder you get so upset about having to do the lousy reports, you can't even read! This is a waste of time. Have fun being paranoid....wah...wah...everyone else is getting the good reports....poor us! Sheesh!
Excuse me?
I say again - you can't read nor do you understand the definition of words. Ignore means refusing to take notice of or to reject. if does not mean to defend. MyGosh! Please tell me you are not an MT? You are just making it worse for yourself. Give up now, ok?
Excuse me? sm
I don't work for TT but, in my opinion, if your statement rings true that lead MTs take/get work when others don't have any, that's gross mismanagement and should be delt with somehow, through emails to upper management. It's bad everywhere, low work, ASR lower wages, but there is no excuse for such behavior.
Always an excuse
Sounds my company. Raises are as rare as hens teeth. I know that the economy is bad but they always try to find an excuse not to give us a decent raise.
Excuse me mis Desertflour, but unless you have my name - sm
I suggest you shut your trap. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. And as a matter of fact, Miss knowitall, you do not know who I am whatsoever. And if you do have my name, I suggest you go ahead and type it on this board. Because I can bet your pathetic paycheck that you do not know who I am.
Excuse me.... but I beg to differ!
MDI MA is a great company, pay 10 cpl, and I am assuming the software depends on the particular account, as I work in BayScribe and it is very user-friendly and productive, everything right at your fingertips. Everything is on one page, i.e. your demographics and transcription page, one click and you have your physician roster, one click spell check, one click to bring up a previous report. I am loving it.
Excuse me??? Just because my experience with them was different than yours was
doesn't give you the right to be so rude. Don't tell me what I have or have not experienced. Don't tell me what I did or did not receive from them as far as software or packages. YOU DON'T KNOW! Man, you are the pathetic one, you egotistical BLOWHARD. If people don't agree with you, you insult them personally. I feel sorry for your family, that's what!! Having to live with you. I'm glad I left MW because I don't work at the same company as an offshore-supporting know-it-all like YOU!!! Has it ever occurred to you that I'm not wrong? That my experience with them was nothing like yours? No, because you are omnipotent and think you know everything.
BTW, I made $60 so far this morning in less than two hours on MY OWN account. You can keep MW. I know how much, or rather how little, they pay.
Oh excuse me but I DO work there
You say that just because someone has great things to say about a company, this does not make them a cheerleader. Okay, I can give you that. However, just because someone posts negatives about a company, this in turn does not make them a liar, troublemaker or a troll. Why are people so blind? YOU may very well have a great experience there but that does NOT mean that everyone there does. We do not always get treated the same and if we don't, it doesn't always mean that it is because of a poor job or work ethic. I am sick of people acting like they know everything about their company.
excuse me, why do you care? NM

Im sorry did you FAIL? LOL what an excuse.

Please excuse the typo - buy for by! (duh on me)
