I went through all of this about 6 months ago and if it's the same company I'll give you the lowdown.

Have to email me privately
so I can keep track of who will support and help with the effort :)


Email me privately
There is no way we can organize on this board.

Email me privately - I am NOT management or spying - I am a legitimate MT with 20 years' experience and many years as an activist.

But if we let our fears of the suits keep us from even talking, THEY win without even trying.
If you will email me privately -
I will tell you what I did in your position after 3 years of going through what you are going through with MDI.
You never leave a way to email you privately
email roster. As an example Number 1, 7, 14 and 22...and the list goes on. Also an MT manager of another MT company on the list.
Good, sent me an email privately...
I am serious that I would look into this but only if I have true support...


privately email me, because my accounts are low! nm

Valerie, can you privately email me, too? Nm
nm
Oh no.. Can you elaborate or privately email on what happened..That would help me immensly. Thanks.

how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
I work for the company and to answer some of your questions
When you talk about flexible, what do you mean, working whenever you want or just what? I might get slammed for it but do not care but companies need to be able to set some kind of schedules to get their work done, so dont know exactly what kind of flexibility you want. How long to make money? Well, again that has all to do with the person working. Are you a newbie with 3 months experience or have you worked 20+ years and doing the work is like taking candy from a baby? Variables. Is is worth accepting a job there, depends on you. I work there, have for about 3 years, love it but everyone is different.
Spheris is a privately held company, there are no shareholders
I suspect this report is bogus.

Their latest press release says they are planning on increasing their domestic work force at the same time as their overseas one, to match their aggressive pursuit of new accounts. (Personally I think they ought to concentrate on servicing the ones they have.)
work privately
in my experience, working privately is the only way to be appreciated; the only way where you get a pat on the back for a job well done; whether it be a smile or a thank you or being invited to the company picnic or christmas party, a place where people know your name and know when they dictate into a microphone, they might say hello or good morning or have a good weekend, that they know there is a real live person on the other end trying to do the best damn job for them because they are appreciated. you don't get that with online companies. you are just a 'number' who is required to produce in 'numbers' in record time, again there are the 'numbers'
Did anyone email this poster and get an answer?
ssssss
Send me an email and I will answer you :) nm

Any information on Medivoxx - answer here or by email nm

I'll answer questions, email me. nm

No time to answer her email, but apparently
time to hang here on this board, LOL.
Nope to your answer, strange no reply to email
Had nothing to do with anything except being called management on here. Seems like it is either being called management which I am not, inept which I am not, so on and so on but really did not expect anyone to answer the email, people just like to throw out nonsense.
Would a current TransHealth MT (preferably a happy one LOL) pls email me to answer some questions?
email above
sorry dont give out my email address but happy to answer questions here

If you say which company, we might be able to answer more accurately.

That's the company's bogus answer
I work every Saturday 10a-2p and come back and do 10p-2a. On Sundays, I usually do a fairly similar schedule. I have primary responsibility for two hospital accounts, one a very large teaching hospital and the other a mid-size community hospital. I could count one hand the number of STATs I get from both hospitals either day, and even that would be a really busy STAT day for the pair. For whatever reason, you want to buy into management's BS, but the only person you're fooling is yourself.
NM, saw the answer on the Company board. Congrats!

I'm like to know the answer to her post also. I have worked for an MT company in NY state,
and while I lived in another state at that time, I received full benefits; Ic or employee status had no bearing on receiving benefits.  If I were the original poster, I would check this company out very thoroughly. Something just doesn't sound right tax-wise.
company does not answer e-mails or phone calls

Hi guys,


Just wondering if any of you have experienced this.  I use to work for this company full-time.  I went to part-time because we were running out of work and I decided to go back to school (because I am tired of this game with having work and then running out).............


Anyway when I dropped to part-time, my insurance was cancelled (which I know happens) but the premiums are still being taken out of my check.  I have 2 checks now with those premiunms being taken out.............I have called payroll and left e-mails (this lady never responds)............now I am thinking this illegal...........


Feedback please.  I would like to stay on with this company part-time but...........


can't anyone answer my question - what's with all the puffy "love the company" comments
I didn't ask if this is a good company to work for.
TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.

I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.


Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!


YOu gave Colleen no constructive info. "Run" is not an answer to the question of how a company
:+
I work for DTS and will answer any questions sm
Please provide an email address for me and I will be glad to get with you.
I don't work for Transcend, so I can't answer.
Maybe you'll have the version of Meditech with expansions and it won't be an issue.  If not, you can get a trial version of ShortHand for free, and after 30 days you can buy a one-year license for only $30.  That's what I did.  Good luck!
I responded privately, thank you.

To those who have written me privately
I seldom answer e-mails generated from here because I'm never really sure where/who they are coming from. I will tell you that the hospital is a local one and you must live within a certain radius to work from home for them. Check out the hospitals within 100 miles of you, though. MTs working from home directly for hospitals is growing and in my area becoming the norm.

Because the site is privately .....
owned and the owners can do what they darn well want to with peoples' bizarre accusations that they just might not want polluting their business reputation.

TT is doing gymnastics to find decent healthcare coverage for its employees. How on earth does that get translated into a negative? And how is it that the company is nice enuf to frequently pay early, then people feel entitled to the favor as the rule, and sling mud when they have to wait all the way until payday to get their deposit?

Are you kidding me?

I have never worked for nicer people anywhere.


I emailed you privately about TTS...
don't even think about it.
e mail me privately. nm

I e-mailed you privately (sm)
It seems to be about 50/50 there. I personally have no work on my account or backup and it's been that way since October. I have talked to all the right people and I'm still sitting here reading and typing on MT Stars when I'm should be typing reports!
contact me privately, please!
I think that contacting the media is a great idea, and very important... think about National security; however, I'm thinking of something else. Let's get together and see if we can figure out a way to start our own company. We are the BEST in the business... why can't we do it? Contact me, please. AmericanMT@yahoo.com
Please email me which company does this

This thread is very interesting. I can see having a credit check pulled if the company is going to supply you with all the equipment, but for an IC position? Something smells.


I'm about to graduate from Andrews in the very near future, and I would appreciate an email letting me know which company(ies) is/are doing this. I think it's absolutely outrageous.


I can stand up to an intensive FBI background check, and I recently had one done to renew my state security license, so I have no problem with that aspect.


Please let me know *which* company is doing this. I won't waste their time or mine.


It just seems redundant to keep asking about the low work and 15 people answer, that's all.

I also worked for MQ and went to a privately owned

company and hate it.  I am assigned my own accounts but can't make any money unless I work 12+ hours a day including weekends.  They have a 24 hr TAT which I can understand but if a doctor doesn't dictate for 2 days (or more) and then slams you with 2 days worth of dictation I don't think it's fair to expect MTs to turn around all that dictation.  I have more than one doctor and don't have a problem with TAT until one or more decides not to dictate for days and then OUCH. 


Anyway I've decided to look elsewhere.  This company also has alot of physical therapy and there is no money to be made in this field (at least not the way they do business), so I do not do physical therapy.


Please email w/ name of EXText company
Thank you, tired of being out of work when I know #$%^ well that my account has work going to India!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to know which company. You may email me if you wish. sm
Email above.  Thanks.
Actually, I sent you an email through your ad on the company board. Thanks! nm

I left a company as soon as got email saying they were
w
Email said not about company stability, and you
Of course they sent encouraging apologetic email.  Do you think they would send one saying, We are having dire company problems and you may never get this money?  They can put ANYTHING in an email.  That doesnt mean it is true.
Lack of work, offshoring, never answer e-mails....
 
Anyone out there work for Chronicle Transcripts who could answer questions?
Thanks..I am thinking about applying with them but wanted to see what employees had to say as far as working for them etc..
Doubt a great # will answer all these questions, but I work
