My people skills are just fine. I just want to hire people who want to work.
I've not been ugly, I've asked questions, legitimate ones. Please tell me what is wrong with that. This site is not just for MTs, it is for QA Editors, Supervisors, Service Owners, there's even sections for Billers, Coders, and Nurses.
I was thinking about this situation with companies that hire people and then there is no work. When
 you think about that, that is about as low as anyone can get to just run people out of work for whatever reason when people need money to live, pay bills, support children and feed them, etc. When you really think about that, people's lives hinge on their income and as far as I am concerned, that is the worst thing any company can due to the people that work for them. That is how I feel today because I have been out of work and scrounging for lines and I am disgusted with the whole business. I hope that companies will soon wake up and stop doing this to people. It is disgusting.
hire people with solid longstanding work background with good references; like myself

ALSO IF THEY WERE GOING TO QUIT SE, THEY WOULD QUIT ADVERTISING TO HIRE SE
And I have seen a new ad in the magazine Advance that has a sign on bonus for SE's, maybe just better pay, let's think positive!!
yep, she had to hire 3 people to do my 8 hour job - sm
AND TWO DOCTORS RETIRED AND TWO MIDWIVES LEFT!!! And the best part - I absolutely positively loved that job with all my heart, and didn't care that I was making $13/hour because my rent was so ridiculously low. But when she made that comment, I walked out, and she opened up a whole new door for me - I now make $68,000/year and granted I do work 45-50 hours a week sometimes, I wouldn't change it for the world.
So I will let her go and feed the monkeys at the zoo.
Do they hire people that haven't finished their MT course yet?
I'd like to know what kind of test they give people, folks who have barely even started the transcription portion of their MT course, yet they're being hired as MTs. Gives us all a bad name.
MQ and many other companies hire people for 40 hours
a week with a minimum production amount, but still required to work 40 hours a week, some say 32 hours a week, but a minimum number of hours either way.
Wow, there are lots of people on
132 people on right now. I suppose maybe because so many people don't have any work to do.
I had lots of people wanting her, just most
not good homes based on what I required. Tried the lab rescure, but everyone had all they could take and they would help me find her a home, I just had to keep her until then and I just didn't want to get too attached. All the other various rescue groups had reached their limits too and taking her to the pound wasn't an option. Even though I felt she would be adopted quickly because she was so sweet, there is absolutely zero screening and anyone that fills out the paperwork and pays the $$ can get a pet. When we adopted the cats we were fostering there was a grandmother in there dragging her grandson by his upper arm and she balled her fist and threatened to punch him in the face. This was not a home I would want my lab to go to.
I'm not 100% comfortable with the family she went to, but I told them if it didn't work out we wanted her back.
We are going to build a dog lot and dog house in the event we have another stray.
I'm not much help (I can't remember how) except to say lots of people know how SM
to do this. I've long since lost my cheat sheet. Sorry.
Lots of people worked up to it.
They got it going and then used it for maybe 1/2 hour one day. Then used it a bit longer the next and so on, until they were using it exclusively.
Another way is to create a glossary with the stuff in your current Expander so that you get used to using it with familiar phrases. Then you can add to it as you get better. That's what I did. DO use the marker keys though, rather than the spacebar to expand. That takes a bit of getting used to, but it is so worth it later on to be able to get full use of all of IT's features later. :-)
Lots of people are mobile.
Be sure that you're using a secured wireless network/hot spot. Your laptop should have the wireless card already installed, unless you're using an old model. Try Google search for VPN to learn more.
Most importantly--make sure it is allowed by your company!!
Yes, I went and it was great. Very informative. Lots of people. sm
I love being able to talk to fellow transcriptionists to share war stories. The place was beautiful and not expensive as most of our meals were provided at the conference.
I think that transcriptionists should stop complaining about everything and start taking action. One of the best ways to do it is to get involved with the 7000 other transcriptionists with the AAMT.
It means lots of people are checking it out....
in other words, a HOT topic!
Lots of people are. Supposedly there is a patch that will
fix issues. Got to MS website for info.
I guess they're hoping enoug people will quit
that it won't be a problem anymore!! Sigh.
Lots of people think that degrees open many doors.
Degrees close many doors, too. People won't hire you at all because you're overqualified or they think you'll jump ship the moment you find something better. A large percentage of this country is underemployed, and that number gets greater every day. Wages have plummeted because the young 20-somethings will work for peanuts. Why should businesses pay more for older workers when they can get a fresh college grad for next to nothing?
Lots of people wear Rx glasses just for using the computer, nothing else. Ask doc
s
I see lots of reason people are staying in the field,
about the low wages. If everyone is so happy with the satisfaction MT gives, the flexibility, etc., are these the same people complaining of low pay? It almost sounds like it's okay to make a lousy wage in exchange for what it gives. I still don't think Pattie's question has been addressed: Why complain?
I think lots of people not paying for the years anymore
If that were the case with 30+ years, my per line pay would be more than what I make now. No more pay for experience.
I don't think DW is not looking to hire anyone but is looking for work herself - nm

Totally not MT related but lots of smart people here for advice, I hope.
My son had a girlfriend some 8 years ago, she ran off with another guy to another state and it really didn't hurt my feelings at all. They had gone through a lot in the less than a year that they were together including my son helping her cope with a rape trauma that she had been through. I wish truly I could remember the number of months between the rape and her leaving, but I felt it was a short time. That really doesn't matter, but 5 years ago this girl sent an e-mail telling us our son was the possible father of her child "you do the math" but she "really thinks the other guy is the father." My son called her and she was going to send paperwork but never did. Now jump forward to yesterday, my son gets notified via phone that she's looking for him, that she has his daughter, and we're really not sure what to do. The girl does not know where we or my son lives but knows the general area. I'm afraid she'll just show up on my doorstep one day but my son doesn't live here anymore, he's a man with a life of his own. What would you do? Does anyone know the legality of all this?
No, out east ... lots of rude people running the show, it seems ... sigh. nm
I work for a company that will NOT hire editors:
The feeling there is that if you don't know your stuff, you're OUT. I don't know how many people have come and gone, but I've been on the same team for about 5 years now, so she's doing something right in her hiring.
Hire someone to work per diem or for a weekend. NM
"
Or why not hire an IC to work on the account under you? You found it
and it is your reputation and bidding that sealed the account, why not ask IC's to BID on it. You might find somebody who loves derm work and wants the money. Even if you only make 1-2 cpl over your IC it adds up.
Great company but like everyone else they over hire. Haven't had work since before Christmas *sm
because it is a slow time and I refuse to get up at 4:00 a.m. to beat someone else to it. I am in the process of obtaining a second and third account and am going to start looking out for myself from now on. I now understand why there is such a turnaround with MTs and companies - seems like the companies overhire and then the MT has to look elsewhere - they work at the new company for awhile until they find that they have now over hired and then they look elsewhere. I have been with MDI for a few years and I plan to stay there but I am going to take on another job or even two so I do not sit idle when times are slow.
Does anyone know of companies that hire for physical thearpy work? Many years experience.

Let's test it - if you are not bragging, tell us
x
Good for them!!!!!!!!! While we are bragging, LOL.....
...my daughter got straight A's on her last report card. Had all A's and 1 B all year so this made her VERY happy.
Well...first, I wouldn't come on bragging.
If I were so inclined to get on a public message board to brag about how great I have it with a certain company, no, I would not be foolish enough to give the name of that company. But, i don't have a tendency towards bragging, so no worry there. Would I pass on the name of a great company to a close friend or co-worker? Yes, of course. But not to a public forum. I have occasionally passed on a tip in a private email. You have to keep in mind, it would not only risk my job security, but the rest of the people who work there. Maybe you never looked at it that way. I must not be alone in this respect because I haven't seen any of the exceptionally well-paying companies mentioned by name on this board. Of course, I realize I could have missed seeing those posts.
Lots of work but I work with some India MTs too.

Bragging about your *normal Tues a.m.*??...sm
They better soon get some work or everyone will quit anyway. This is getting ridiculous. There is no
doubt they have some agenda with all this continuous hiring and no work.
i do rad work & i need lots more of it!
lots of work
We should start identifying ourselves by where we work, tier and what area we work in. I continue to have steady work, same old stuff, and overtime this weekend. People keep mentioning running out of work and no jobs available - I have not seen it yet.
lots of work
nor have I, my work keeps increasing and increasing
2 people to do that amount of work, is she nuts? More like 20+ people - nm

It's payback for bragging about yer legs to us fatties!
 LOL just teasing
It's the "snap, crackle and pop" of mother nature playing mean games on all of us
I will quit my job with an MTSO outsourcer and come to work for you
I would be glad to make a parallel move in order to work for a U.S. work force loyal MT company.
Yes, they can quit their job, go self-employed or IC, and work under the table.
However, the courts aren't stupid. There is a worksheet the judge does based on the past several years' worth of taxes that XX is the amount this person is capable of making, so therefore XIX is their child support amount. It's legal and binding. There's no changing it by trying to scam the system. It is difficult to enforce but that's why our state has deadbeat parent laws. My friend's ex wound up in jail with liens against all of his property for not paying his child support.
Come to India, lots work for you.
You be happy there.
I have to take lots of breaks. I work a little then
cook breakfast and load the dishwasher. I work some more and then do some more chores. Sometimes I do a hobby for about 15 minutes, or I prep dinner, work in the yard if the weather is nice. It seems like I'm working 12 hours/day that way, but I'm not and I'm getting housework done too, which tended to pile up when I tried working in 4 hour stretches.
I also try to make a game out of it sometimes. I reward myself for working 2 hours straight - maybe read, work on hobby, something just for me, not something that needs doing.
I would quit. I work part time and only make about
$250 a week. Just having become a grandma would influence my decision! I can't keep my hands off the little one! 1K a week would suite me just fine! To bad I don't play the lottery.
You're lucky. I get lots of work but have
I think it is outdated, still lots of work requiring one. nm
I am extremely curious as to what new hires do when they find out they have not work. Do they quit,
do they get transferred, what happens to them.
Just say it's not going to work out, quit, and send the stuff back. Not like you'll be using t

LOTS of work here, playing catchup all day long and still not there.

I'd quit! Too much busy work. So much of this is automated now, lists, names, etc. Move on and fi
