Guess you don't work for MDI-MD and aren't psychic either....

Posted By: Not management, just curious... on 2009-03-25
In Reply to: Let me guess... - MT

and yet you still didn't answer the question as to whether you work with MDI-MD.

Guess that answers my pot-stirring question.

Thanks!!!

Well, geesh... I guess since I am psychic too I should be able to figure out who that would be..
Some people.. who better to ask than the employees of MDI.  I think they would know if they are IC or employees. 
Guess you backbones aren't sm
doing enough or we part-timers wouldn't be needed. Who covers you when you take your paid vacations, when you take your sick days? Who the heck do you think picks up the slack? By the way, neither company I work for pays me more than the full-timers, nor do I get a single benefit. I do get appreciative personal emails and cards, and nice Christmas bonuses, though. Guess I work for two companies that have their acts together.

Then I guess you aren't missing anything. If bored, go do next week's
Get a grip.
Psychic???
week to start sniffing glue. Psychic Friends???? Effectively synergizing backward overflow. You do absolutely nothing, and it was everything you thought it could be. What an analogy, its so you!!!
So now you're psychic and know
the other poster ''looks different'' from me?  Aren't you being just a wee bit judgmental yourself?  If you want to track her down, give her a great big hug or send her some money, that's up to you.  I simply read her statement, which stated that having her payday moved by a couple of days a month - four months from now - would send her to a loan shark, and said what I thought about it.  Harsh?  Maybe, but we big girls need to develop the resources to take care of ourselves. 
I want to know why ICs are still allowed to work when employees aren't getting work!!!
ICs should be the first to get NJA!!!!
Does "being around here long enough" make one a psychic?
sign or message is in this person's post that makes you know who they are? I would imagine that there are many po'd MTSOs out there. It could be any one of them. I'd be po'd as well if I had to deal with the likes of some of you folks on a daily basis.
I actually wish I were psychic because like the MTSO below, I would love to win the lottery
.
Oh great - Another psychic employee!! HAHAHA
How about just saying yes, it is 70% of your line rate instead of making up rumors.
Do you think all the headers and footers aren't getting counted? Lots of places aren't giving
s
I can't believe you are MISSING a day when we are all drowning in work. You either aren't
working your scheduled hours during the week OR you need a backup account. Either way, there is more than enough to go around.
You must be psychic. I just ended up going on Ebay today and bought a Dell with Windows XP on it.
I originally went through Dell directly but they charged $400 more for the same computer because they were customizing it with Windows XP as now all the computer came standard with Vista. Apparently not so customized..haha.. better deals on Ebay.. I LOVE EBAY..
True but I got news for ya - you aren't going to get steady work anywhere that way.-
An MTSO has an account to cover. Period. She will give the work to whomever is willing to be flexible enough to cover the account. Even an IC has to work within some framework, not just whenever I feel like it, right?
Disorganized. If you aren't the favorite, then forget it. Never enough work
so you can work your schedule.  But if you don't get your line count, you are expected to do whatever it takes to make it.  Keep looking -- there are better companies out there. not to mention you'll get talked about behind your back
Are you saying those of us who work for nat'ls aren't "normal, regular" MTs? LOL. NM
.
Which is great to work for LeePerfect or KeyStrokes? They are different, aren't they? nm
nm
Aren't you a positive person? I suppose you work in the office at HIS. lol nm

I wonder if these students aren't doing some Webmedx dictation already with work volumes as they
It ain't all the economy. They are either OVERHIRING incredibly or the work is going somewhere else. Definitely. They should have the decency to be straight with us.
Right, I'm Enterprise. On our side, vacations aren't the reason for 0 work.
Good luck to us all.
C-phone accounts aren't any better, not enough work to make line counts there either. Sigh
nm
I guess if could not keep enough work...
to keep me busy, I would play police on the boards too, but I do, so I don't!  As the poster was not identified, I can only guess at who it is. as I stated...and yes, both were paid what they were owed per the contract.  Now, sorry, must run, have a busy day and already spent my few free minutes of personal time and need to dive back into working. 
Ok, guess KS it is..does anyone work on
Meditech magic platform? Is it easy to get the 1200 required lines per day.

Also, they said it is a new account, and there is loads of work, never a problem, always looking for OT on the account too, so off I go!

Thanks to all of you for your time and input! I sincerely appreciate it! I love this website!
Let me guess - you work for the Q

Guess we need to work 24x7 !?!
What is this world coming to?
I guess it just depends on where you work
I get a yearly raise automatically after a short evaluation in the office.
Guess everyone has a different experience. I work
at Meridian and have not once been yelled at, even when I made a horrific mistake (pulling up wrong patient to transcribe report on). I have been there just over a year and absolutely love it.
Let me guess, you only work day shift Mon-Fri? sm
that's the only way you can be out of work for weeks as you say. Every Friday and Saturday the accounts I work on are out of turnaround time and our STM begs BEGS BEGS for MTs to help.
I guess I am lucky. I must work for
someone else/different account at Meridian. I have heard several unpleasant things about them on this board. I have been there almost 2 years and never had a problem with them.
I guess you'll find out when you go to work there....sm
Just be sure to not resign from Transcend until you see if this other company is truly all they told you they would be.
guess you are an expert on the company I work for??
The more we type, the bigger our so-called incentive. Few lines, less money. Funny how that seems to work!
I guess that is what they call work ethic - sm
But even though it is hard, it depends on what is most important to you, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, or earning a living. When I first started this work at home, I told myself that I would do anything and I mean anything, to be successful. Even if it meant working until midnight, and believe me, there have been times when I HAVE worked until midnight and beyond, just to meet my TAT, but I did it. I work in my living room, where it is bright and airy. No TV. No radio or music. No distractions. I screen my phone calls and only answer the ones I know are important. I have injured friends' and family's feelings when they think that just because I am at home, I have time for their whims. I just look at it like it is a job just like any other. If I were in an office somewhere, I would not have time for cooking, cleaning, laundry, TV, etc. and the same applies at home. It is all in how much you want out of this. Working at home is not for everybody, but it works for me. Self-discipline, I guess. Good Luck to you. :^)
So I guess if you are experienced and work for nothing there are job. Sounds bad. nm
:
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies?  I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for. 
I guess our clue is supposed to be when we run out of work all the time?
nm
guess again, i'm inhouse and my sup would rather send out work to the agency
yep, to meet the TAT she will send it out, even if it means no work for the real hospital employees.
I guess I don't understand either. As for holidays, I CHOOSE to work them sm

my kids are grown and gone. They like to come for Thanksgiving, but not Christmas.  I have a choice, sit around and pout over it Christmas Day, or work...knowing that what I am doing means another woman who has little ones at home can be with them.  I feel like I am making a difference. 


I am working July 4th, always have.  I'll work Labor Day too, no big deal, although it falls on my Monday off and I won't get comp time, however, I am going to treat myself a nice meal out that week so I don't feel put upon.


I feel EXTREMELY lucky to have a full time job with benefits, regardless of working holidays, a part time job where they don't care when or how much I do (though I try for 500 to 750 a day even though their full time is only 800), and I have been offered a PT QA position in addition to these.  I can eat and pay our $4+ a gallon gas.  I can pay my bills and most importantly, I can be saving a huge amount of money in case something changes economically and it will. 


Grow up and understand this is part of this industry.  People don't take holidays off from being sick, injured or dying.


Guess our work will eventually go to India now. Going to start looking for another job! (NM)
nm
Maybe they dont answer because there is no work to get.Best way to avoid things I guess.
:
Just dont ever forget the work that goes to India and other countries. I guess they will be doing
weekends etc. I am sure MQ has this all very nicely figured out.
Thank you. I went to Walmart today, and guess what, they had one phone and it didn't work!. Go
NM
I guess this explains part of the reason we keep running out of work. My office lost a lot of huge
accounts in the past year.
Me too. I guess some work is better than no work sometimes.
On the other hand, I'd consider a new opportunity if it presented. Guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open. Glad I'm not alone.
You aren't the only one, believe me. NM

Aren't they the ones who are
supposedly looking into buying Heartland?
aren't they all going to be
under regional supervisors within a year??? If you can get yourself under the northeast regional supervisor, do it. She's great.
Oh MY aren't you a gas
Why would you care. Bitter? I got a great job by not being hired by them with innumerable benefits and assigned to a nice a/c with great potential.

Don't get my way - do you mean expecting to be paid on time is being bitter and spoiled? What planet do you come from? LOL

And yes SD is said - it's not my fault they auto cap it - boy do you have issues!!!! sd is standard shorthand for said my friend. can't imagine even noticing something like that.
Uh, no. They aren't doing that

The letter I received a few months ago when I cancelled my membership said something quite different.  It had nothing to do with keeping the jobs US based.  It was all about quality healthcare documentation which is important; don't get me wrong there.  However, there was NOTHING in there stating anything about keeping this work here at all.  Instead it was all about the global marketplace and a cop-out.


I personally feel that the bulk of the healthcare industry knows cheaper doesn't necessarily mean better or even close to what is expected.  I don't think all of the jobs are going to disappear.


I have written, called and probably annoyed my senator and any other government official in my state about outsourcing private healthcare information.  India, for example, does not have stringent laws about private information like we do. 


We do have a personal responsibility though.  I have brought this up on other boards, but we need to ask our healthcare providers if their back office is handled here.  If not, choose another provider if possible.  Of course avoiding purchase of everything that comes from somewhere else is virtually impossible, but there are lots of other things.  This may also sound mean, but if I get on the phone with customer service somewhere and realize the person I am speaking with is offshore, I have my call transferred.  Nothing against the person, but I am not discussing my personal account information with someone who is not 100% required by law to protect that information.  Period.  If enough people take the intiative (not saying in this particular way), the gov't and other organizations won't have a choice but to listen. 


Outsourcing globally is not the trend right now.  I really think pulling together can stop it from becoming so.


Aren't they like about $40,000 ???
My car's OLD - only kind I can afford.
And just because you aren't a fan sm
doesn't mean it is a bad company for everyone.
Aren't we all?

Now I know you aren't exp'd - there is SM
