Any Diskriter employees out there?
I see some old post 2004 on this company but does anyone work with or have any bad or good experiences they wish to share.  They have posted a weekend shift I'm curious about.  Can email if you wish. Thanks in advance.
Diskriter employees?
Save yourself time, ask if there are any EX-Diskriter employees out there, you will get more answers, faster!!
Even Diskriter employees have to
have the drug test, background check, etc. Not just the employees they hire for the hospital.

Anybody switched over to this platform yet?  How is it?


Are there any current Diskriter Employees here?
I would like to hear from anyone currently working for Diskriter. I am not interested in hearing from former employees at this time as I have read the archives, which is why I would like to hear opinions from current employees or recent new hires only. Thanks!

Any help is appreciated.
Happy employees?

Hi!


I was thinking about applying at Webmedx and had a few questions and since I know these posters are familiar with compmany I was wondering if you would recommend it?


Many ESLs? How about VR?


Any information will be very much appreciated.


Thanks very much!


 


Happy with Diskriter
I have just started working with Diskriter and they have been the most flexible company that I have every worked for. My supervisor is very nice. Tech supports is also pretty nice too. I have only good things to say about Diskriter so far. I plan on staying.
I'm happy with Diskriter
I haven't been working there very long but things seem to be very organized and I was fortunate enough to get on a great account. I'm hoping this will be long-term for me.
Diskriter equipment (not happy)

I just got the yuckiest keyboard and pedal from Diskriter. The keyboard keys had gross stuff stuck on them and I had to get dirt/lint out from underneath the keys. The foot pedal was very dirty also. I had to disinfect everything.  The computer monitor was new and so was the headset (which I am happy about). The speakers are ok, but the box looked like it had been at a flea market, all faded and crushed. Out of all my years working at home (8+), I have never received such dirty equipment from an MT company. The computer itself had a broken monitor attachment, so my monitor cord would not screw in all the way. Am I the only one that received dirty equipment? I think someone should have cleaned the keyboard and pedal before they shipped it. I can use my other keyboard, but still, that was gross.


Thank you DTS. I love my bag! Happy MT Week to fellow DTS employees.

Why so very few comments regarding Diskriter? Are comments by employees not permitted SM
on public forums. I have always been interested to see comments on this company, as they are constantly advertising and seem to have an attractive employee package. Unfortunately, never seeing comments on MT boards makes me extremely uneasy. I'm sure they could have stipulations in their contracts that prevent them from commenting, but even so I would expect to see good or bad comments even from ex-employees. Hmmm? Plus, if the anonymity is supposed to be in place on these boards, how can it hurt for employees to make a general comment, good or bad?
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys.  I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information.  Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them?    Thanks very much!!!
Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too. 
They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm

Right and told we should be happy we have jobs. Not too happy right now.

MDI Maryland HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
THIS IS NOT MDI IN NY OR FL!!

I can't say enough nice things about this company; very flexible, you area a statutory employee. That means that they pay the employer portion of your SS. Great on time pay, tons of work. Do your lines and you are left alone! Expect to be responsible though. Pay for your phone; rent a Lanier or a C-phone if you don't have one; BayScribe platform. Anything that is a bit of an inconvenience is more than made up for. You will know to the minute how much you will make and how many lines you have typed. Check it out!

which employees are getting this and how much.
I havent heard a work about any incentives.
MQ employees
Quoted: Remember employee = real benefits, not this 3 days a year PTO and insurance that is laughable. Also you must provide the equipment, the internet, and pay for downtime such as weather. A supervisor to authorize your stupid OT


PTO can be up to 18 days per year. As a FTE, I was given a week of vacation PTO and holidays. The insurance is not laughable. Compared to many companies out there, it falls right in the middle somewhere. Who pays you because it snows? (or rains, etc)? I know in our region, many MTs were affected by the hurricanes and received some compensation. And where have you worked that you do not have to have OT APPROVED??

I still think so many of you are so accustomed to be picky that the reality of "real job" is going to scare you off.
Certain new employees get PTO right away but other new

employees have to wait a YEAR?  Isn't that a little unfair and discriminatory???


And since when is $12-15 an hour considered GOOD in this profession?


Is this thread real?  April Fool's Day isn't for another 4-1/2 months!


How to keep employees

Every single MT company is full of BS these days.  They turn our homes into sweat shops, they cut our pay.  They have no consideration for our feelings.  MTs are job hopping just looking for a decent deal.


Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a company with high standards.  A company who gave so much in the way of decent treatment, time off, flexibility, civilized treatment, appreciation and good pay, and I mean very good pay.  Can you imagine what it would be like to have every MT in this godforsaken lousy business clamoring for a job with your company?  All you have to do is be FAIR, pay decent WAGES, treat people like HUMANS instead of machines.  You would never be posting a help wanted ad.


Man, I wish I could do it myself.  I would have the best, brightest MTs out there becasue I would attract and draw them to my wonderful company instead of nickle and diming them to DEATH. 


Why don't you want to know what former employees have to say about OSI?
I think they would serve you better on what you want to know.  I worked for them for four years.  The first couple of years were okay, not many problems to speak of, then it all went down hill from there.  The higher-ups started to get nasty to the transcriptionists, they starting changing accounts around, loosing accounts....it really got bad.  I think they have a revolving door on their main office, so many people come and go.  I would do my research before I jumped the gun with OSI.
no those employees are all over here

throwing muck and personal attacks all over the place, especially at the company (ies) they left.  I also know the company monitors the board which resulted in the formulation of the language of not allowing the company named to be posted.


As for not wanting a good thing to leak out, I've always been a cheerleader and am of the opinion that if I can help my employer grow by being a good employee and bringing other good employess to them, then that adds to my job security and a recognition by the company of my being loyal to them.


Maybe that's the part that has so baffled.


It is so new that most of us employees do not know anything about it yet. nm

MDI-MD....I think all their employees are SE (sm)

I got hired for Radiology not acute care...


I only mentioned that again because there were some posters last week who were running out of work at MDI-MD and were afraid they overhired but I think those were acute care MTs...



 


An OM did this to both employees and ICs

at a company where I worked for 4-1/2 years from home, then about 10 months in the office.  I ended up leaving  the company because of what I saw happening within the office.  The owner was a great person, but left much of the day-to-day operations to the office manager.  If someone called in and needed extra cash because they wanted to put a child in a private school, she would take work from someone else and give it to the needy person...now keep in mind that the person needing the extra cash didn't actually HAVE to work because of the husband's income and the person whose work was taken away was single and had no other source of income.


This is just one example, but it happened like this A-L-L the time I was in the office.  I lost total respect for the OM and then for the owner for knowing it was happening and allowed it to continue. 


They can't keep employees...
They are rude to their employees and they go in and change your time-sheet hours if you are getting paid by the hour and cut your actual work hours in half. That was my experience with them.
They must REALLY need employees
Between yesterday and today I've had 3 phone calls and several emails, after I said no.  I told the guy I'm not interested in a company that has QA in India, especially since they would be deciding whether my work was correct or not.
5 employees?
I do two of mine accounts, and I certainly do not require employees?  No wonder you weren't making any money.  You have to actually do the work yourself not hire people to do it.  My goodness.

US employees
They said they employ approximately 30 MTs in the US. 
Can anyone tell me how many employees

It is more than 52 employees
Axolotl is more than just a transcription company.  They also have an EMR system, which is very successful as well.  I know we have at least 50+ MTs, plus the EMR side at Corporate.

New KS employees...VPN/HBO

Hey, I am looking for old employees...

I am looking for some folks that used to work for MTA in Atlanta before they sold to Transcend.  Post a message or privately email me, please...


Just looking to talk to some old acquaintances!


old MTA employees?

Hey - could anybody tell me the name of the company in Georgia that belongs to the same person that used to own MTA years ago?  I had talked to somebody before about this company, but just cannot remember the name.  I would greatly appreciate any information.


why employees?
True, ICs saves companies money by not paying employer taxes, but they may HAVE to hire employees because they may want you to work a certain way, certain hours, using certain equipment, etc. which falls under the IRS classification of an employee. Many companies try to do this but don't want to hire you as an employee, which saves them money but allows them to have alot of control over your work. Check out the IRS website of classifying employees versus independent contractors for more info.
Wow. Then almost ALL MT ICs are really employees ...
I'd never read that whole thing before. I'd always known that them dictating hours and schedules made it an employee/employer relationship.

However, I was not aware of the first paragraph in particular.

Any company who dictates that you must use their software, or must follow client templates ... aren't they directing HOW you should do your work?

Crimeny.

I'll add my hat to the ring of people who just sit around saying something should be done about this.
