That is baloney (nm)
nm
Cut the baloney. I can tell you right now that every QA
I know works straight through a shift nonstop and that includes myself and all of us pull our weight in gold.
That kind of rationale is no better than what I see in the posts above. I have had plenty of experience having been a QA mgr as well and I can tell you, most do work more than 8 hours so I don't know who you have worked with, but if I work with them, they would not have a job. They would pull their weight and get paid a fair wage, just like I earn.
This is just so much baloney
I am having to move to a higher place to keep from stepping in it. The story just keeps getting more intriguing as time goes on. I have worked so many part time jobs on the side for various physicians and I have yet to have 1 single doctor take his billfold out. This is like as good as watching As the World Turns. Keep listening for more...
BALONEY
You just cannot do, confess.
Baloney.
.
That's baloney! I took me 5 weeks to get
my first check but was told 2 weeks when they hired me (as an employee). They are NOT honest with their employees! R U the QA person who thinks they walk on water?
keep up with the baloney. Folks sm
are not going to believe you no matter how much you protest. Just because a company says you make 98-99% doesn't mean they are checking.
Some of these companies aer as bad as the indian MTs they hire. They just let stuff go through and don't check at all. There is no way your quality can be taht good. Been in this business too many years and have seen the braggers like you and when they are actually put to the test you find out their work is not as good as they claim.
I would love to QA you stuff myself.
Need some cheese to go with that baloney?
What a transparent inside post!
Where is it defined what this board is for?
You say it is for comments on companies which is a broad definition but certainly includes the scope of commenting on poor BUSINESS practices -
And IF there WAS only one disgruntled (perhaps actually WRONGED?) employee, then that person's comment(s) would not have been able to snowball.
The company in question should have, a long time ago, attempted to address the complaints against them, you know maybe a BEER summit (hey it worked for those not paying attention)! Instead they appear to have escalated the situation and now it may spiral out of control.
I SAY BOTH SIDES TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND CALL A BEER (OR WINE) SUMMITT.
The ONLY PARTIES WHO WILL WIN HERE are the lawyers!!!
Hogwash! lol. What a bunch of baloney.
The program is theirs, the content is yours. It is my understanding that MQ will, or at least used to, help you to transfer over your content from another program when you are hired.
I can think of a few people I'd like to amputate the baloney from...
... present company excepted, of course. :)
Time for a baloney amputation
If they are only covering third shift and weekends, where has all the work gone? Having spent many many years in-house, I know while there is dictation on weekends it is less than through the week, and on third shift the amount that trickles in is negligible. So where is the stuff going that is dictated between 7 a.m. and even 7 p.m. M-F going, when the majority of dictation is done?
Forgot to say, the 3 cents line is baloney.
NM
gentlemen, this is our phoney baloney jobs on the
line!!!
Sorry to mix my favorite pictures up here, but that really is a crock of it! Look, when you tell the SEC you have a goal to increase your percentage of work being offshored, it has to do with the bottom line WITHOUT deference to who's on first (or second or third). I had been willing to at least listen to Transcend, but when this load gets hauled in and dumped in front of me like I don't know the real deal, well, I know I can't be alone in thinking Transcend needs to back the truck up and leave well enough alone with its horn blowing.
There is no way to win on this board if you are an MTSO. Fair or not, that is the way it is. The same way that corporations are bought and sold (or merged) everyday - IT'S JUST BUSINESS!!
And yes, I won't be leaving a tip, 'cause I could... I could shut this whole resort down. Sir? I'll take my traveler's checks to a competing resort. I could write a letter to your board of tourism and I could have this place condemned. I could put... I could put... strychnine in the guacamole.
An MT Union is for the weak...
MT who cannot make it on their own. They need to join a group and pay dues to some corrupt union leader who has probably never touched a keyboard in his life all because they need the protection of a group. Why? If you are not satisfied with the way you are being treated now, why not go out and work your tail off to find your own accounts. Then you can hire your own employees and treat them how you please, pay them what you want, give them really nice Christmas gifts every year, lots of paid days off, etc. I know you think these big companies abuse MTs, but I have news for you...until you go out and do the work to build up a company the way some have, you have no right to complain. The *real* problem with this industry is that so many believe someone owes them something. Nobody owes us anything!
Sorry, but your post was so lame. You mean well
least sound a little more spirited. Yes, you were all sold out down the river to a company who 100% promotes offshoring and who will gradually turn more and more work over to India. You are going to support it, though, because you feel you can't take a risk. You are damning yourself and our industry. Stand up and say something about it. I did and I was the last one who could afford it. Its just nauseating that people literally sell their souls and their children's souls and our country's souls for just the pittance of money we make as MTs. Get a backbone or at least don't sugar coat your decision. You are now a sell out.
Geez this is lame. I wonder how much they paid
the two MTs (or how much the MTs felt pressured) to yuk up how great speech recognition is. Their responses are so canned.
LOL alrighty then with lame insults! Shows you've just been
x
Oh yes, that definitely excuses it!
Such a lame excuse too - I'm so sure the CLIENT ASKED to have their work outsourced overseas!
They do think we're idiots, don't they?
Racism excuses censorship
I hate censorship too, but I hate racism more.
By the way racism = ignorance.
NON-PAYOR and full of excuses
Also uses the names Alliance Healthcare and/or Documed.
Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me
who cares what other trades are doing. Those guys make plenty of money in construction. These days MTs are lucky to make $15.00 hr and then have to work like sweathogs to get that!!!!
stop making excuses
If you are a working MT & can't make an educated guess based on 3 or 4 syllables, ends in amine or tryptan or something similar ..versus 1 or 2 syllables, ends in ex or aid or something equally snappy...then you should find another line of work.
Excuse me, but nobody showed up for work, just excuses
To whoever said they were hired, and then no work. Nobody showed up for work. I hired Carol (for the 2nd time), sent her work assignments, and again I woke up with no work, just excuses why she could not work, again the second time. In fact, several Transcriptionist (the same ones over and over) keep answering the ad, and then never show up for work.
As for 26 surgeries, yes. Got the operative reports and scars to prove it.

I am not miserable at all. I am just tired of excuses of why people cannot work! nm

grammar
Check it out. A company cannot be a "who." Only a person can be a "who."
Grammar
All I can say is  .
I have been transcribing now for 3 years and have never heard a thing about my grammar. I have gotten reports back the past couple of days this week stating: There should be a comma here.. there should be a semicolon there.. you shouldn't have put a period, but a semicolon.. or when I put something as far as a comma where I was told to.. I would get it back stating that it was unnecessary, HUH? Not only that, but I would have a passage from a grammar website pasted on the report that was sent back in e-mail. LOL.
I give credit where credit is due, but seriously...
Now instead of being paranoid about any kind of medical errors-- I am worried about if a comma is in the right place. Nice, huh? Everything that I was corrected on was trivial.
So, while I was sitting there feeling kicked in the gut waiting for my next grammar correction, I found myself looking through samples and reports transcribed by other people and found that the commas that I had on my reports were on other peoples transcriptions, too!
No medical errors, miskakes, misplaced words, missing words, format issues, and I get grilled about a comma.
 I felt like I was back in highschool. 
Seriously, is this normal?? I am thinking about leaving this place. I have never felt so insulted. A comma should be the last thing on their mind..especially when seeing the horrendous mistakes that were sent to clients by other transcriptionists in the database. 
Just needed to vent. Am I wrong to be so irritated about this?
Grammar
 So do you practice what you preach? I noticed in your heading you typed you not your. Or did you type it that way on purpose?
You know some come to this board upset or in a hurry. I know I have. There are times, I am sure, some come to this board dead tired from working all day or putting up with really bad dictators.
Bottom line is that we are all human and humans are not perfect 24/7 365 days out of the year. This is just a place we can let our hair down so to speak. If you don't like it perhaps you can find a board out in cyber space somewhere where all is perfect.
grammar
I would stick to my guns. I don't know how old you are, but I was taught the same things in school and I refuse to change my habits now. They have done that to me as well. It makes absolutely no sense to me either for QA to make corrections like that where they aren't needed. I think that sometimes the QA people just get off on thinking they are better transcriptions than we are. Unless it was some rule by the hospital (which would be insane), I would just keep doing what you do. I DO ! I have never, ever been reprimanded by any of my own clients or any hospital client in this lifetime. Do what you do best, girlfriend !
With grammar like yours
With grammar like yours, I wonder how YOU got and keep YOUR job!
we do not correct anyone's grammar....sm
who needs trolling word police 
Grammar and typos
I believe that Goldbird posted the same thing about there being no need to correct people on the board for typos or grammatical errors. There's really no need.
grammar and commas
Yes. grammar and commas are very important and it was one huge issue where I trained. One suggestion, turn on your grammar checker in Word and watch the *green line* appear. It will keep you aware of your comma errors. It is worth the effort to find and correct your mistakes prior to report submission. good luck to you!
Your poor grammar
You are not using proper sentence rules by using a lower case letter to begin a sentence. I truly do not believe you have a simple typo, sorry.
Please do not grammar police here...
Many MTs come to this site to relax and may not have the time or desire to proofread their messages.

Grammar? It's You're not YOUR
-
Thanks for the 101 grammar lesson ...sm
Gee, it looks like none of us MTs would even know how to spell and punctuate if you QAs weren't around to teach us how. The MTs are paying your salary, for the most part, yet most of you act as though we have to answer to you! We answer to whoever pays our meager salary, and it's not you, baby! You all say you don't have time to look this up to fill in blanks....well, that's what you're paid to do. You don't have the time for this, for that... but the MT is supposed to do all this unpaid work while you're above it. Get off of your high horse!
Excuse my bad grammar, there are
I guessed that after seeing the grammar and
spelling errors in its ad.
GRAMMAR POLICE - sm
Having nothing meaningful to contribute, these immature holier-than-thou self-proclaimied experts need to vent their insecurities by finding fault with something as insignificant as spelling/grammar. Reminds me a lot of a large percentage of QAs -- need to nitpick on something trivial, real or imagined.
I would just tell them to kiss my butt, unless they are also paying my salary - otherwise they should MTOB.

I'm not one to correct grammar
or spelling on a message board, but I do think how one presents themselves on a message board does reflect on the quality of work that a person produces. If a person who needs to know spelling and grammar for their job, cannot produce a quality post on a message board, I would think the quality of their work would reflect the same, and I don't mean a measly typo that can happen to us all, but out and out incorrect spelling and grammar is either laziness or ineptness, which I think also reflects on how well they do their job. Do people not take any pride in how they present themselves? If one wants to be taken seriously, I would think their posts would reflect that.
Grammar is dead.
I wish it were not so, because I'm with you - reading some posts almost makes my eyes bleed. I get such stuff from supervisors, from the owner of my company, from friends and it all drives me nuts! I think the advent of ''instant communication'' has killed thoughtful written expression. Don't U disagree? Nobody takes the time to proofread anymore - just bang out a message, maybe run spellcheck, and hit SEND. Nobody sees the point that there is a difference between the word then and the word than. They now are used interchangeably. Gaaag! There, their, they're; to, too - all the same, right?
And I see, too, that your grammar is as top notch as your spelling!
HAHAHAHAHA
A grammar checker for they're/their?
There is no need to correct anyone's grammar on this board. (NM)
Goldbird
I meant your bad grammar - went back? wow
Good think they have something. They DONT have grammar

Are you American? Your grammar is awful.

Applying the right grammar and spelling
should not be an extra effort. But this only if one is good at it.
What logic is this: Today I am tired, so my grammar and spelling are bad.
I can understand: Today I am tired, so I make a lot of typos.
But some will never understand the difference.
