In Reply to: Landmark nm - Happy MT Robin
Did Landmark do away with their health ins? I know it was offered in the past but read posts that there was never enough work for full-timers. Could you clear this up for me?

Yes, I have, but her phone # is non-published

She replied to a job ad that I have running and forgot to get her phone #
Thank you Robin, I do feel like sm
this is all so hard, but it is the right thing to do. I know that when she does pass on, I will not feel that there was more I could have done and I took good care of her. Bless you, too. 
Yeah, Robin, exactly right! sm
I had dozens upon dozens of errors corrected in my word expander, including "teh" for "the", "hsa" for "has", and I don't remember what-all. Yes, it made a huge difference.
I also remember, back in the "old days" at the Houston VA Hospital, there was a female Russian-ESL resident who changed her mind every other word, and we were using TYPEWRITERS! We were instructed to always listen a little ahead in her dictation so as not to have to type the entire page over at times. Sheessh!
Thank you 'Happy Robin'.....sm
My only mistake was my typo
't' instead of 'd'.
Thanks God, there are still smart MTs in this profession, like you.
Robin, I so agree and understand...sm
with what you are saying, but Robin, think of these hard times we are in. I am in such a financial bind right now, on the verge of eviction because I truly believed the company I was with would supply me with enough work as a full time employee...i hung on too long with this particular company. I have moved on, but a day late and a dollar short as it takes time to build up a good check with a new company.
I got lucky tho because things are working out. But think of all the MTs in this situation. I have been noticing lately, that MTs are taking what they can get at this point. This is not a recession we are in folks, but a depression, but the government will never admit to it being a depression.
God helps us all.
Robin, you're a delight, always so positive. ) nm

Yet another one burned by Robin Hall/Four Seasons Transcription
Robin managed to find me via Guru.com. I wish I had read the earlier warnings about her on here back then. I kept on working believing she way pay, falling for her excuses. She's very good at what she does. My paycheck was 5 weeks late when I finally said enough and told her I could no longer work for her on 02/01/08. Since that time I haven't been able to contact her through home phone, cell phone, e-mail, yahoo messenger or anything. I even tried calling her business number listed on her website for Four Seasons... guess what... that number has been disconnected with no forwarding number. She got me for over $800. The part I feel the worst about is I referred a friend to her shortly after starting with her myself. Robin now owes that friend over $900 and has still not paid her to this day. I know there's nothing I can do (still investingating legal action though) about what she did to me. I mainly want to warn other MT's about her. Please... before any of you accept a job at ANY company IC or employee.... check them out in any way possible.

Another scammer - Robin Hall (Four Seasons Transcription) sm
Robin Hall CONTINUES to scam MTs and get away with it. I get emails weekly from MTs who cannot get their paychecks from her. I find it absolutely incredible that she can continue to get away with this, but she does. After she had to leave here, she moved over to guru.com. I contacted them and warned them about her, but she wound up scamming some people there and has since been banned. Kind of an interesting aside - heard from a reliable source that Robin was giving hospitals a false Tax ID#. Go figure!!
Our neighborhood is all women's names - Robin Ln., Julia Dr. Must be the worker's ladies! :) n

Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!
:)
HAPPY FOR YOU
Glad to hear you found the perfect match....I am still looking for someone to really work my own schedule like they advertise. Enjoy!!! If you have any suggestions for me finding a place to work your own schedule, let me know..
YES, i am happy there too, after 5 yr!

To Happy MT
I am happy at MDI just wish they would send a little more love our way. I switch to different accounts when they are short and work many weekends and if I am correct I have worked most of the holidays. I get a phone call or email last minute that they need coverage and I do not say no. I start early and finish late. I have talked to others in the same boat and they are sad. . I know they merged with Transend and it takes time to get things in order but when it seems that some get the bonuses and some of us are overlooked it does not seem right. I think they need to look at everyone in the same light and do the right thing.
Is anyone happy with MQ?
???
Happy now!
23 the first time (then-husband got the 7-year-itch). 34 second time. I had two miscarriages the first time around. This marriage - We have two great little boys!!
I am very happy nm

Happy so far
Hi, I have only been with MQ for 7 months, but I have friends that have been with MQ and have tried other companies, and the consensus is...their new system DQS (DocQscribe) is VERY user friendly compared to other company's systems. AND, as far as WE are concerned, MQ is very flexible time-wise. But I have read other posts that maybe new hires are more chained to a set schedule. My friends and I are out of 2 offices that seem to be very lenient as to scheduling. Personally, I work more hours than I signed up for. But, if MQ were to call when I am away from my computer, (bathroom), like a poster below stated about a different company, I would be VERY aggravated, especially since I am post-colectomy with less than satisfactory results!!! (If you get my drift.)
Be Happy about it
My 20-year-old son suffers every day from injuries he received during his high school football career. He has had broken bones, dislocated shoulders, and he has to wear a mouth brace due to jaw injuries. The medication he takes for his jaw has caused a stomach ulcer, which along with the pain from the jaw, caused his blood pressure to elevated. He said more times than I could count, "I wish I had not played football." Support his decision and be happy that he is not out there getting all banged up.
Happy here
Look, most people who are happy with a company don't just get on a message board to say, "I had a great day at work today," or "I think I make a decent wage and I'm happy with it." They get on to complain or ask questions or just to surf and see what others are talking about. The people who are complaining are loud and you hear them a lot. MQ seems to have more MTs who have been with them for 5+ years than any other company. That should tell you something right there.
Happy MQ MT
I wonder about the people that are so unhappy about MQ. Where did they work before? Was it inhouse? Did they come there direct from a school. What is it that makes the difference of some people being happy and others very disappointed. Why do some have an abundance of work and others have none? Is it the quality of work being done?
I am happy!
I am happy working at MQ. I come to this site usually for a good laugh, and sometimes I do post. I don't flame the people that complain all the time, I just wonder why they do?!?!?!
We should start a poll - Are you happy with MQ or aren't you - no big explanations - just a YES OR A NO. My answer is YES!
happy
I am happy with MQ!! I think the people who are happy with MQ (and I think there are a lot) just don't take the time to say so...so today I am!!
I USED to be happy but......
I haven't had a decent line count in almost a week and it has been 6 months since I had a second phone line installed and I have yet to see a single dime in reimbursement that I was told I would receive. Why do I stay? Because this is my first MT job and I've only been there a year. Who else will hire me at this point?
I am happy!!!

I'm happy!

I am sure that they are happy to have me
as an employee considering I am one of the only few who actually likes working for them. I am a high producer for them, as well. There would be no reason Medquist wouldn't be proud to have me as an employee. They need to get rid of the big fat losers like you.
How happy are you??
Are you not the same ER who was on here last week trashing the Amherst office?
I'm happy for you!
I, on the other hand, had my children in my mid to late 30's. I'm 45 and have a 12 and 5 year old. At 50, I'll have a teenager and another one who will be right behind him. There is definitely something to be said for having your kids when you are younger, not to say I am not enjoying mine - I'll be pretty old when they are on their own. 
I'm happy for you
Since your employer was confident in giving you more work, then I guess you have been doing the right thing this past year. Just keep it up and stretch those shoulders every now and then =).
Then I am happy for ya!
Glad you did something about it!
Very happy at OSi...
I am happy! (sm)
OSi is like a breath of fresh air (to me that is)! They have always taken care of me as a transcriptionist.
There are negative posts on the boards from less than mature transcriptionists who are trying to make a good company look bad. An opinion is fine, but some of them have gone past the line, and so, you have to look a little farther than the posts you see even the positive ones. With that, if you read about the company on their website and you feel it fits your life, then go for it, no matter which company. I worked for Medquist for 2 years and I didn't like the experience I had, but that doesn't mean the next person has the same experience.
Transcription is a God send to me and if the company I work for don't fit me, I find one that does. Each to their own.
AND A HAPPY ONE...
to you and yours!
Happy X-Mas (War is Over if U want it)!
:)
Let's be happy, come on who's happy with me !!!??? (sm)
Let me tell ya something, we gotta get cheery around here. Who's company makes them happy !?!?!
I am happy you are going well (sm)
but I only ask for 12 cents and I don't feel I am asking too much for the area I am in. I would even negotiate to 11, but no lower. It is a pretty good deal for them, but maybe they'd rather use India! If I wanted to hire someone, I could not go lower than 11. I think this area has had a lot of soliciting because it pays a little higher. Houses around here are $700,000 and who the he** can afford to work for less than 11 cents per line.
So make an extra $1000 for me! 
I'm happy at DR
Can't comment on working for DR as employee, but it is the same management/QA. I work on only one account, if you work for DR directly I think you may work on more than one.
Pay is average, but I am making lots of lines and $$ due to a platform I like (Word superimposed on their platform) and fair incentive. My benefits through the hospital are excellent and very affordable (main reason for taking this position) with generous time off, etc.
They do pay downtime, which is a plus if there is no work. There are a lot of negative posts lately about them, but I have no particular complaints.
I'm happy at OTI. nm

Happy with them
I'm sorry you're having so much frustration with them. How long have you worked there?
So happy for you
I won't say there won't be rough spots, but you're on the right road. The very best of luck to you and your kiddos. I've been in your shoes, and sometimes (when the bad times come) you wonder why you didn't stay, THEN you remember ... either you have to see/talk with him or something.
You and your kids are worth the best life has to offer. Good luck!!!
Happy MT to you, too, and to everyone
:-)
I'm so happy for him and you
NM
Wow! While I'm somewhat happy - sm
To see I am not alone, I really feel for you. I can't imagine having to pack up for a move while trying to work at the same time.
My 7-year-old son is a lot like yours. He has to have constant company. He's driving me insane! I also have a 15-year-old daughter whose emotional outbursts and crises are never ending!
I love them all so much. It is wonderful to be home with them, but sometimes I wish I could be my husband. Out the door in the morning and can do his job with no interruptions. Then, he comes home late tonight, after a trip to Canada, plays with the boys for a bit and heads up to bed, leaving me sitting here trying to sort this day out. I think this calls for a bit of the silent treatment tomorrow!
Yes, happy 4th to everyone! (NM)

I'm very happy that you can
And I can dictate 450-500+ lph with only one or two errors per page, consistently, from six to eight hours a day.
Now, I think it's time we retired this conversation.
