No email of any kind here. Was off Friday and Saturday
not sure if I should stay up all night waiting for something or get some extra sleep!!
No one was harassing the poster. I was
just simply stating a fact. Giving the company's internal facts is not necessary. All that was necessary was to apologize and say that they would get back to people in a timely fashion. They did not need to give out their statistics. I do not call that harassment. I have never harassed a poster in my life. I just thought it would be a little more professional not giving out their statistics. You do not see other companies do that.
Harassing e-mail from ex-employer.

Oh really?!! Harassing people is part of their job? How cute!

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm

They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
I wonder if you would be kind enough to tell me......
exactly what constitutes "good reason" for my home phone number to be given out to anyone by Lee as it was?
I'm sorry. I went to work and then had to come back to ask this question. I even looked up *confidentiality* in my Webster's trying to find the loopholes.
Thank you.
She was very kind
and all, but Lee or someone should know that she is misrepresenting herself. She should know that it's OK to say, "I am new to Keystrokes and feel that this is a great company to work for" instead of lying and saying "I have worked for Keystrokes for X amount of years and they are great" when she had only been working there a few days. There is no need to lie to people.
I am using one, but it must be the right kind
At some point, and I think it was when I installed Express Scribe, I could configure my footpedal. Try to do it, and if it won't let you - then you don't have the right kind of footpedal (it's either 9 or 13 pins, I can't remember which).
What kind of pay for V/R? nm

What kind do you like and what don't you?
Is is the work types, or the dictators? What I don't like are the long pauses in dictation. I have heard a couple of the dictators seem to hit a pause button, but most of them don't know how to do that.
What kind of changes? nm

What is the use of this? I have been getting this kind of
run around also, but why would companies treat MTs this way... no loyalty breeds no loyalty in return. I hate to say misery loves company but seems like more than we have had this happen. How to stop it is another question. IMHO.
Actually, I kind of see it although we
did it to ourselves. Suddenly, you were supposed to be Super Woman, it was the new version of Once Upon a Time. Get a degree, get a job, earn the bacon, fry it up in the pan, etc., somehow you end up being the one who gets the kids and hub up and out the door, taken to the doctor, drop off the dry cleaning, excel at work and keep a clean house and by the way, don't forget to look spectacular at all times. of course, if you are in a bad mood, your hormones must be at fault. Been there, done that, got the bumper sticker and the T-shirt which I now use to dust furniture!
you are EXACTLY the kind of sm
person I am talking about! Was there any point to that? I am not whining. I am stating a fact that there is no point in folks reacting to other people like YOU are reacting. Sounds like you are attacking! The ability to disagree and just down right nasty are two different things and you fit the latter.
May I ask what kind you have?
Maybe it's just Hughes, because my experience has been pretty crappy. I do know that an ex in Missouri had some little rinky dink company; he paid half what I did ($39) and had a signal that was twice as fast as mine and didn't seem to have the fluctuations. I assume that rinky-dink got its feed from one of the big ones but was never able to figure out who. There has to be something better than what I've got now, but few people even have internet in my area except some of the city dwellers with DSL(where populations get up to about 723!!!)
I have a car but if I said which kind
I am sure I would be called management which I definitely am not.
Thanks so much and that is what I was kind of
afraid of. I applied for that one on the job board because of loads and loads of orthopedics experience but they want you to have Dictaphone or the equivalent. I do not have Dictaphone and not sure that I have the equivalent, I have never worked on it so I am not sure what they are looking for.
tried to email you but your email is invalid
?
Is there an email address I can email them at. nm
:
Why email me? You want people to email you. NM
.
I tried to email you but it said your email is invalid. Can
you email me please.
Feels kind of right, what your saying
"The other troublemaker" 
Sounds kind of
aa
Well I did that kind of production too.....
Until going on the VA account. It's a whole other ball game and a totally different story.
What kind of problems
did you have with your LD service before you got Vonage? I am switching from Vonage to Verizon Freedom because I have been getting disconnected a lot and heard it was from Vonage. Hoping I'm not making a mistake.
K
That's kind of cryptic. What do you mean by that? TIA
.
What kind of accounts do they have?nm
xx
what kind of proof do you want:?
and still have proof of it ALL after 2 years! There will always be those who have a good experience at a company and assume that it is the same for everyone at that company. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is not the case.
OK... I really want to see some kind of link here. sm
I don't believe this for a second. I believe this poster is just trying to stir things up. If this were really true, then the OP would have posted a link or would have provided the source of the information (the news source) so this could be verified. Otherwise, if no link/source is provided where we can verify this, I would just assume this poster is a troll.
What kind of experience do you have?
x
If you are having these kind of problems
I would have to ask why? So many happy MTs getting their direct deposit every other Friday like clockwork, and you are having issues every payday. Plus you mention checks, and we get DD. I can not imagine having to call payroll every payday.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
:-)
I want to thank you all for your kind words SM
and suggestions. It means a lot to me. I'm a pretty optimistic person, so I believe something better will come along...but it feels good to share my frustrations with those of you who have been there, done that, and got the T-shirt!
I better go to work! Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.
Just Me
This is kind of silly, isn't it?
I agree with the poster who said that people are entirely too quick to use the term racist. At any rate, I think enough has been said.
what kind of reports sm
$1.20 is OK for plain films, but stinks for MRIs, angios, etc. IF there's a good mix, you're OK, if mostly long reports you'll be working for peanuts. Also, if you'll be typing patient info and headers, that takes so much time. just my opinion.
What kind of information are you looking for?

This is the kind of pay that makes QA
just fall to the bottom. I love mentoring, but please pay me an hourly wage to do it and I don't mean $15 an hour!! I am assisting with my 30 years of knowledge to help a fellow MT become an asset to the profession! Being paid by the line to mentor a new MT is disgusting. I have mentored many and have been a QA specialist for a number of years and in our profession for more than I would care to think and every day I wake up and look at these boards and read the pay, I become more disgusted with the field.
True and kind of not.
I do think that was meant as the laidback lifestyle. I see it as more of a convenience factor in setting the hours most of the time, lack of having to commute, etc. Yes, we should all be professional all the time, and for the majority of us, that is the case. However, there is always a bad apple or two throughout the ranks no matter where you go or even what field.
I agree with what most of the recruiters are saying as far as presentation. Why someone would apply for a job without a resume, I have no idea. Secondly I completely and totally agree with not using cutsy e-mail addresses. I was a hiring manager (not for an MT company), and that was one of the first ways we narrowed candidates down. Those were immediately pitched.
One othe comment about the AAMT. They set a guideline. The client sets the standard.
what is Beyond TXT? Is that some kind of platform?

Well see, that's kind of what I'm talking about ...
people in this industry are so scared of losing their jobs, and so quick to turn on each other for the slightest thing, even a post that makes some suggestions and speculations about why things are the way they are. Most MTs seem to prefer to just bury their head in the sand and pretend all the ills in this business will just 'go away'.
When I talked about women-dominated medical transcription, I wasn't referring to management, owners, or above, but those who actually sit down and DO the transcription. And that is mostly women. Women are exceedingly difficult to organize (I've been trying and failing in that endeavor for years at my old hospital). And it's because they've had it pounded into them (sometimes literally) that we're lucky to have jobs at all.
I know I don't have all the answers, and don't recall saying that I did. But I CAN say that divisiveness will not help this (or any other) field in the slightest.
You're right about the government, but that's for another post and another board.....
have you ever done this kind of work before? sm
It is quite difficult and very tedious. People talking over one another, sometimes a lot of research on the internet that you would have to do just to find certain studies and authors. Quite frankly, I do not think $50 an audio hour is worth it. That breaks down to about $12/hour +/- $2/hour, depending on how good you are.
On the other hand, he is being quite generous with the pay, because there are transcription services that are paying $25-30/audio hour for the same kind of work!! That breaks down to $7-10/hour! And there are people that will do it!!
That is just my 2 cents
Thank you kind lady.

What kind of questions?
I once had to take a handwriting analysis at a job interview. Very strange. I didn't get the job but was actually relieved.
What kind of platform do they use? nm
xx
What kind of equipment do you need?
Do you need a C-phone?
I just think it is kind of strange that
inquiries? Do they not have other employees? It seems that only two posters pretty much reply, which one is you (Jo), and the other is KSMT.... Just think this is kind of strange. Are you to PR for keystrokes? Hmmmm?
What kind of coverage?
Is that pretty good coverage or a big deductible?
