all know they stink and that they are thieves. I hope you can find a new position soon. Good luck to you, but please, please get away from SS.

Gripe when you have work, gripe when you don't...
What does this have to do with the subject post to begin with?

You were a newbie once too, and I'm sure there were people here ranting on about your quality. Get over yourself!


what is your gripe?
it's fine to share your negative experience however, I have not read anything of value in this link.  What is your gripe?  That the owner is anal?  Well, frankly working this field I would expect most owners to be anal, afterall we are completing very sensitive information.  So this goes back to my original question... what is your gripe?
I don't know what her gripe is with TT.
There is work now TT low work. I don't think they are specifically sending it to me, I am no one special.
you can gripe about e/m's
but you make a choice. Ignore the e/m's re the acct needs and pretty soon they HAVE to hire more on the acct to keep client happy (and/or client decides to ship the work overseas), OR you can do an extra 100-200 lines here and there in a team effort and help your paycheck, help the company reputation AND keep the client. I don't always pitch in, but usually do, and am happy to work for a company who appreciates us, treats us and pays us well. Suit yourself.
I didn't gripe. I appreciate what QT does for me. nm

I believe the new gripe is not that work is being
wherever. Its that we, as American MTs, do NOT want to work FOR an Indian owned and operated company. I wouldn't want to work for a French company, other than Chanel, of course. I wouldn't want to work for a German company.  Especially, and this is the main problem, when the foreign company has a mission statement to eliminate its US employees.  I would work for Toyota in the US.  I would work for Volkswagen in the US, as long as their mission statements in their home country did not include statements that they plan on eliminating US workers. There is a big difference, and I think that is what many of you are missing. You think so much upset at MQ and the like is over the offshoring itself.  The new UPSET is that our employees will now be a foreign entity, completely unknown to us, and hostile.  I do not want to work for a HOSTILE employer. Heck, we have enough trouble with working for companies like MQ without their ownership declaring war!
My gripe is about the fact that . . .
QA takes the time to change it.  Once again, if it ain't broke . . .!!!  I think their time could be better spent!
dont let em bother you, gripe away. you have a right!
:)
try 35 yrs, honey, and they ALL say
commensurate with experience.
eeeehhhhh-not-so-much.
IS THIS AN OSI AND MQ BOARD, OTHER PEOPLE THAT GRIPE GET CRUCIFIED. I.E. SS

When we get on this board and complain about our line count at SoftScript we get immediately told to go away.  Our lines disappear day by day.  Yet, any post for OSi or MQ seems to stay.  We are people with legitimate gripes too (not to).  Yet, we in turn get told to find a new job while you people continually gripe about your companies stealing from you.  Try getting your lines taken away from you on a retrospective day to day basis and see how you like it.  At least your lines are still there the next days, ours are not.  WE HAVE A RIGHT TO GRIPE TOO. 


I am not your honey...please be more professional (nm)
xx
oh honey, not in the same position at all.
there are things about my company I don't like either but I can deal with the good and the bad and have enough common sense not to stick around a place that I hated so much I had to come here and vent about it everyday! Just like staying in a bad relationship, too many women make themselves martyrs hoping things will change for the better and don't know when to get out. Your job is to type, do ESLs, learn VR and don't be a dinosaur and not expect to have to change with the times....if you don't like your company, move on, plenty of fish in the sea! Or better yet, find something else to do, no matter how much it pains you!
honey, this could be any given company out there. NM
.
Honey, you are running yourself DOWN...sm

Why do you even bother to come her to try to explain your ridiculous ad, you must not be busy enough either, to be on this board and if you feel you have to explain your job ad, oh well!!!!!!!!  You will only get flamed and torn to pieces with this mess.


That is gripe board. Freudian slip as in get a grip. LOL.

Hard to have a satisfying gripe session with management
on the board. If we had work we would not even have time to be here.
Dont gripe is will not even give them chance to reply.

Honey, I've been an MT 25 years. I never

that I post on a message board, but if you look at my work, it is top notch.  That's why I have contracts with local hospitals.  I have my own accounts.  Can you say the same?  No, I doubt it.


I think the recruiter is WRONG to encourage people to cheat.


You couldn't be more wrong, honey!
Mine only show my moniker!

You're the one answering, honey. LOL
nm
It's not the kind of press ya want, honey!
Hope you have a happy holiday after this!

Honey, I am glad to have a job with ANY company!
In this economy, I don't date try to pick and choose based on whether a company outsources or not. If I owned an MTSO, I'd probably be outsourcing too because too many American MTs are prima donnas who think that just because they work from home, they should have freedom and not have to work a schedule.

Nobody is taking a job from me. There are PLENTY of MT jobs for every qualified American MT who wants one. Get over yourself.
thanks MEMT, hang in there honey...sm
I won't say it gets better, you just learn to trudge through it.  Some days are worse than others.  My husband and I were very close, and he was such a hands on Dad.  He cooked, cleaned, took the kids out so I could have a break, pick spats with me just to keep it a little crazy, etc., etc.  Because of the situation of his death, which was caused by someone who was supposed to be his friend, I do feel robbed and so do our kids, especially because everybody knows what the guy did, we just can't prove it.  So I am also telling you too, hang in there, it will all work out the way it is supposed too.  Just don't forget to be a mom to your kids, they still have a lot of learning to do.  When you feel like you cannot type another letter, think about those kids, they will get you through anything. 
Neither honey. Just a grown woman
who does her job and doesn't act like a child who doesn't get her way. Hmm, maybe that's why I can get my lines in during a regular 40 hour week and don't have to whine and complain about every single thing that doesn't suit me. This board has become the poor me, feel sorry for me, I hate my company but I have no guts to go somewhere else or learn something new board.
I also work for Transhealth and love it. Most ex-employees do gripe if they were fired for some rea
You cant always believe what you hear. If they are disgruntled, they will say anything about a place to try to get back.

Some people just hold grudges.
You hae the wrong MDI honey. We use Bayscribe, MDI-FL uses Meditech. nm

honey, all incentive plans look good until
they find some reason not to come through with the pay out!  Good luck!
Honey, I have been an acute care MT for 25 years.

For one thing, most of acute care is NOT elective.  And acute care does not consist of only surgery anyway.  Also, lots of people DO have surgery this time of year because for one they have time off, and for another if they get it in before the end of the year they can claim it on their taxes for this year, and also if they have already met their deductible they want to have anything they need to get done done before the first of the year, when they will need to meet their deductible again.


It's not the time of year.  It's that there are too many MTs.


On a bed of nails, honey... they don't care. Cold as ice! nm
x
honey, that's your speed increasing, not the pay scale, and by the
way...we come from the days of 50, 60, and 70K a year. After that it dropped to 30.

Yes, you are fortunate. But you do not know.
I think anything goes here. Go ahead and ask!
x
You just go right ahead
because after all revenge is such a great response to fair criticism, and such a great substitute to considering if said criticism is fair...

I'd touch base with the company lawyer first, just for the heck of it...
Already ahead of ya...
I do have another job and I'm using that as my primary job and using OTI as my second job working just about 10 hrs a week. One thing I like about OTI is they don't give a flip how much or how little you work, they don't even care what hours you work so long as you do clock in once in a while.

It seems to be a game at this point, so I might as well play or leave.
Why don't you go ahead and tell them the BAD news? (sm)
They added a tiny bit to the benefit package (still not comparable to other nationals), still no weekend or shift differential. AND they raised the minimum line count from 10,000 lines per pay period to 12,000. It will be imposible to achieve 12,000 lines on those horrible VA accounts. The recruiter will tell you that you won't get paid for headers or footers because they automatically populate WRONG!!! You will spend an unbelievable amount of time in the demographic screen.
I went ahead and tested.
Thank you for the info
if you want 6 cpl with 20 yrs experience go ahead and take the job -nm
no message
I would still go ahead and apply
I really don't think that a few months will make a huge difference, but you never know until you try. They still may offer you a position. Good luck if you decide to apply!
I went ahead and e-mailed someone
There seem to be a lot of people in the lead here, but not sure which one is which.  To me this is a bit ridiculous.  I was put on production right off. 
Sure, go ahead and e-mail me
I am blackswan--so ahead and e-mail me.
Go ahead and take their test and you
NM.
Go ahead and do it but be very, very careful sm
that you put the right report in the right shell on the right person. That is the only problem when the report does not match the voice and patient. As long as you are careful, you will not have a problem.
Good, you go ahead and take 7 cpl
but next week don't cry when they'll only pay you 6 cpl.  Maybe it would be a good idea to get the old movie, Grapes of Wrath with Henry Fonda and see what happens with price cutting.
Go ahead and warn 'em
but all too many people get carried away and make up all kinds of nonsense.  I have worked for a few companies and do know what is out there.  I have others to compare this company to.  So, that sure isn't the case.  Anyway, its a free board, post away...just warning others to watch out and to form their own opinions.
thanks for the info- I did go ahead and test
and it was just like you said. I have 11 years experience and had to leave a couple blanks. MT testing is crazy. I don't know why it has to be so difficult. Oh well, moving on to the next company for testing tomorrow.
I think I'm gonna go ahead a bite...
I turned in my Keystrokes paperwork today for a RAD account starting Monday.  It looks like most of the problems are with acute care accounts with more positives on the RAD accounts.  I'm not worried about OT/paid holidays because I have an actual IC job with plenty of work if/when I want it.  I'm just hoping that being this RAD account is new, there will be enough work to keep me qualified for medical.  I see others who just posted recently are new hires also--good luck to all of us!
Au contraire-perhaps months ahead
I don't think I am years behind -- if congress/president has any sense, they will begin to bring our jobs back to the U.S.  The idea of exporting our jobs in exchange for supporting our trade partners BOMBED.  Just like the idiots at Wall Street.  It was a great plan - but it has ruined our economy.  I would not be surprised at all if the tide turns -- and I hope that my fellow MTs will do as I ask and write their congresspeople and ask that U.S. work be returned to the U.S.  What did Obama say?  Time for a change?  You got it brother.  (Palin 2012)
Go ahead, apply, and take my work
Such glowing reports all the time. Ugg. Please, don't ask someone who stuck with it and went broke, and had to struggle for so long due to overhiring. Of course, they will tell you to go nights and weekends and if you don't it is your fault for not being a team leader. So, go ahead and apply. My job is happily available to you.
The MTSOs are the only ones coming out ahead with VR.

That's funny! I wondered how you could know ahead of time! nm

Hey you guys, go ahead and email Dell
because he's probably more in a position than I am to acquire more MTs in the near future.  Mine all depends on an account that I'm not entirely sure of yet.  But if you would like to email me anyway I will keep your information in case I do.  The account I may have is an ortho clinic acct and what I would like to do if I get the account is have maybe 3 MTs share 2 or 3 doctors; that way they can all be familiar with all the doctors but also if anyone didn't want to work any given day the other 2 could take up the slack and cover for the MT who is off.  And I don't even know at all that I will get the account or if I do when it will be - but I will keep your info just in case!
If you can have focus and full steam ahead
Wouldn't you think??????  LOL
