I kept getting a recorded message to call some company..

In Reply to: calls from India - nn
I had never heard of, sometimes twice a day. So, finally I called it and it obviously went to India. I told him, not very politely, that I was tired of getting their recordings and they needed to remove me from whatever list I was on. He was still sputtering and stammering when I hung up. Grrrrr!

Your company will dictate whether working off line via recorded work is even

You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
Don't know where my interior message went, but any call is traceable - sm
I was being harassed years ago by a "boyfriend wannabe" so I used the *57 when he made his crank calls....he eventually gave up after I started unplugging the phone at night (it would just ring and ring to him, but I, of course, would not know about it. There have to be enough *57s though to be looked into for them to take action though, at least that is what they told me (this was 15 years ago though...things have changed a bit since then). Good luck.
Left a message, still no call back.
Will call again today.
You can call Mr. L directly. I just did and left a message.
Go to this link and call the number directly. He is at this office and they will put you right through to him/his voice mail:

In our home, we call it the Red Rule - see message
The Red Rule means that we do not bother mama if she is working unless somebody is bleeding or the house is on fire - Red Rule. :O)
Call Dr office and leave message about this.

I E'd that address yesterday...next step I will call...thank you (no message)

I have to share this. Got a call from a doctor today inquiring about my service. See message.
He apparently has been working with a service that outsources to India and he is so fed up at the bad quality of the transcription in addition to the fact that he wants to work with someone who actually speaks English! How about that!! They will all learn the hard way, but they will learn. There may be hope for American MTs yet.
Call the company back now that DSL is
available, and get that job! Tell them you thought you'd contact them again since you now have DSL. MT companies always have openings. Sometimes you have to do a little chasing down to land a job.
Call your cable company...
Many cable companies offer phone service. Call them and ask them about their programs; also, ask them about the cost of keeping your old number. If you are already a cable subscriber the cost is lower. I have Yahoo as my email server and I prepay for a phone-line (comes through my speakers)and use it for business. Cost is minimal. Check it out, there are a lot of different options out there. BTW, please forgive any errors - I am not quite awake yet.
Call company. They will be happy to help,

Call the money order company to see
if you can stop pay or trace the money order. It supposedly can be done now. Then send her a certified letter demanding the equipment or a refund, or you'll sue in small claims court.
call 1st company, explain situation, see what happens.

Should company pay for time spent on a required conference call? (sm)
My company has been having conference calls on one of my accounts in which they request that you attend (they take roll call) to learn new rules, changed rules, updates, etc. on the account. This has turned into a real pain because it takes so much time out of your production that day. They say it will become more "routine" as time goes by because of the volume of the rules, etc.
I was wondering, do any others have had that situation and, if so, have you been compensated for that time?
I should note, I am an employee, not an IC, and am paid by the line.
Thanks! 
Where are these recorded to
platform, file extension? Send e-mail if you want to, and maybe I can help you.
Yep, it is re-recorded
and you're right, it is not always when the doctors dictate. Sometimes they seem to be trying to punish me (after I've had a particularly difficult time keeping up with their erratic assignments) by greatly reducing the work they send me, and then I will receive work that includes some dictations that are days old. Little do they know, I consider it more of a punishment to assign the work the way they do and expect me to keep up than to reduce my work (a welcome break because of their workflow issues).
Looking back a couple of weeks ago, I reviewed my invoices for the first four months of the year and realized that my work had basically doubled in the third and four months from what it was the first two months. During the same period of time, I had scheduled several outpatient surgeries and did not request any time off because I thought that I could handle the work despite the surgeries. Even though they doubled my work I was able to do it, but it nearly killed me. Had I known they would be doubling my workload, I would have been able to plan better and would have asked for a day off here and there to make it easier to get through without killing myself or missing deadlines.
That is just one example of how I try to plan things outside of work, and I do not want to take time off as I do not want to lose pay, but they always seem to know when I have something planned and the workload increases and they begin overlapping the deadlines. I have two other work sources besides this group, and the others do not have the same problem. Always know when the work is coming and communicate well about any changes.
Sorry this is so long, I guess I just needed to get it out. It drives me crazy. Thanks for your response.
Recorded statement -- think about it before you do it
My attorney has always advised against doing a recorded statement. Sometimes it is the way that the question is asked as to how the answer comes out. Also, we all know that errors can happen in recorded statements and they are not given to you to verify and sign off on, and the tape is erased so what do you do if there is an error in it? So I would not do it again, I did and it did not help my case. Took a lot of attorney time and money to get everything cleared up and then rule in my favor. If it is a black and white of a rear end, might not be a problem, but if there is any question at all, do not do it unless you type up what you want to say and a recorded "statement to them" and do not answer their questions. Just my 2 cents worth
Most likely they are being recorded as raw .wav files...sm
...which are huge. Sony does have a proprietary audio format (can't remember now what the three-letter file extension is) that compresses the files, and I'm sure the user manual for the recorder will have instructions on how to switch back and forth.

My first job was a total cold call to small local company...got hired over the phone- sm
give it a shot. Look in your yellow pages or on-line white and yellow pages and see what you can come up with. MT Daily has a list by state of MT companies to with their contact info. Also test your butt off anywhere and everywhere on line, you will learn a lot during the process. I found it quite enlightening when I was doing it 3+ years ago. Good luck.
You could always decline the recorded statement and
send them a written statement instead.
$50 per hour of recorded transcription...sm
is a very low rate. Think of it this way, how many minutes can you transcribe in an hour? Subtract that number from 60 and you'll see how many hours it will take you to transcribe, then divide the $50 by the number of hours it will take you to do the 60 minutes. I believe that there used to be a "standard" of 1 min of dictation = 4 minutes of transcription time. So, basically you'll make $50 for four hours (or more)work!
Not sour grapes - We recorded the game
and have watched those plays more than a few times.
Especially the one where he was CLEARLY NOT over the line with the ball, only his shoulders and HE KNEW IT. He looked RIGHT at the camera as if to say, "Am I gonna get away with this"?
The ball was far too low underneath him to be even close to his head. Watch the replay and see for yourself.
I will admit it. I cried. Cried like a baby! I (sniff) still (sniff) can't.... talk about it much. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
In a pinch I have played the cassette in front of my computer mic and recorded using the sound playe
Mine is located by going to the start menu, to accessories, to games, to sound recorder. As long as it is quiet in the room, the sound quality is excellent.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line. It makes it easier when reading these messages. thanks so much and have a nice day everyone.

On-call requires on-call compensation by law

Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
sm, see (or short) message, nm is no message.
x
sm-see message, nm-no message, ks-I think it's someone's initials.
nm
or no message, small message - whatever SM
any indication there is no need to waste time opening the post.
it is irritating also when people type through the subject line as well as the name line and then do not indicate if it is worth pursuing.
sm is see message not small message. I almost always
put NM or nt if there is no message, but quite a lot of people still open the posts as evidenced by the number of views.

The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers

Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location
