disservice to the MT as well as the companies you are going to service. Nothing worse than someone trying to sail the ship who hasn't ever been near the water.

I really don't know what part of the English language they do not get.. I think the word NO
comes to mind. I would not even be working that day when I'd get an IM, can you do a STAT? and I'd tell them no that I was heading out the door, so, your going to do it? and again, NO.. I said I'm heading out the door.  This would go on until I finally had to click the IM off. I felt badgered and I am not sure how much was just them not understanding or just being pushy. There is a fine line and I got tired of it so I quit.

I'm guessing that
with all the qualified people who frequent this site, you could start a business and grow into a decent sized companies (finding employees here!).

It would be a lot of work but might be well worth it!
Guessing

I think it depends on your Team Leader and the account, but I know of people that do work 4-hour shifts on 2nd or 3rd shift.  I don't personally know of anyone at Focus who works a dayshift, though there could be some.


 


Guessing.
I am left to guessing, as there are no responses to my emails.  I don't trust myself to phone them, as I would likely not be able to disguise my extreme anger.   I had good evaluations from the Indian gentleman who used to be our account manager/Team Leader, so it isn't that I'm bad.  However, I have decided to interpret the situation as a blessing, a motivator to get me to finally find a better position, and move on to a better MT life. 
Whoa...What???!!?? English please?

English. We cant help MQ got themselves into the situation they are in. They did it all alone.

You sould like an ESL to me. Your English

''better English''
Your ignorance is as laughable as your arrogance! ''Better English'' is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what the experienced American MT ''knows''--for starters, probably as much anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology as the so-called ''physicians'' from your wonderful part of the world. You ''have an open mind'' when YOUR jobs are given away to unqualified people by greedy corporations whose only motivation is their own profit.
How about Florida - am guessing
we are part of the Tri-state
By "account" I'm guessing you only have one?
Why haven't you asked for a secondary or even a third? That would surely get you better results than simply posting your lack of work here.

There are a lot who also do not know basic English skills. Example: (sm)
the difference between their, there, and they're.  Affect, effect.   Basic skills of sentence structure.  Just knowing some medical words does not make you a good MT.
I had one that would start out in English (with the thickest sm
accent you have ever heard, then switch over to spanish in the middle of a sentence. Did I mention I don't speak spanish?

No, but I am an educated English speaker 24/7.

I agree. She cannot understand English
.. no matter how many times you say the same thing. You have to have a phone convo with her because she can't understand emails.
ESLs on VR as opposed to English
at the hospital where I work makes absolutely no difference at all, in fact if not for VR and all the ESLs we have now, would probaby be pulling my hair out trying to figure out what they are trying to say. ESLs on Escription is as good as with the perfect speaking English so again, the system you have, how MTs train and the speaker makes no difference in how VR gets it. You need a good platform and then you can make a good salary on it.
there is more than one language

in India.


I'm guessing you are talking about Webmedx .
they do not type in radnet, they have their own software. Radnet is used for macros, search patient's, etc.
Your dictators are clear, and there's *no guessing at all*??

So if you get one that isn't so clear, does that mean you *guess*??

I am guessing that the OP meant the queue
shut off means she can see there are jobs there, but when she clicks to get them, she gets nothing. Either that or suddenly the jobs go from a large amount to 0 all the way down. I have experienced both. Don't know if it is queue shut off or work manipulation by sups.
Saw that too...WOW. I am guessing it is subcontracted work
if all she can offer is 6 cpl.
Hey gourdpainter. Do you even work at TT? I am guessing no.
Why then are you constantly bashing them?
Approximately how big is Transcend now? I am guessing (sm)
MQ, Spheris and now Transcend, but as I said this is only a guess.  Anyone else?
I have an A.A. degree in English from a 'real' college that
Sounds like AHDI ('All Hindi-speaking Dufuses International') is just trying to find another way to lure MTs into wasting their money on their ridiculous 'credential'.

And if they did elevate the credential to the equivalent of a degree, then they'd have to also acknowledge that MTs be PAID as 'professionals', as well.

I laugh every time I read something that group generates - it gets more ridiculous every year, doesn't it?
Leave the language out, please. (NM)

Let's see if she replies, and HOW she replies. What a laugh!

AAMT did not change "good English" and terminology, sm
The changes originated with the American Medical Association, the Chicago Manual of Style, as well as other references from which the AAMT BOS is compiled.

Tiliput's language does not belong
won't read it unless you can talk English and not your mother tongue.  Try to tone down your F word and save it for the back yard.
"hell" is foul language??
good grief, girl. lighten up. remind yourself never to move to Ireland.


It's common forum language...

It means:  I totally agree.


Oh it is not common forum language...

There's that language barrier at work again
*eye roll*

Honestly, please read the posts again. ANYONE CAN MAKE UP AN EMAIL ADDRESS WITH ANY NAME ONE DESIRES. THERE ARE NO - I REPEAT - NO RESTRICTIONS ON CREATING AN EMAIL ACCOUNT.

Don't see how an MTSO can inspire faith and loyalty in his/her employees by blowing sugar up their collective behinds 1 day & all the while sticking it to them.  Call me sweetie pie, sugar cakes all you want, but don't do it in the same breath as telling us we'd all have to joint a 50% salary cut club, telling us that the low work for MTs is because of the Huge responses we got for our VR takeover and that because these brand-new VR'rs are so very productive all of a sudden -- (Why not chuck the euphimisms and say straight out, There's no work because it's gone to VR - in addition, we had to overhire a bunch of newbies as prophylaxis to a lot of expected resignations - added benefit, we don't have to pay any more bonuses to keep work in TAT - but you guys (you really do rock!) did pester us about low/no work, but will just have to FLEX until November when the new accounts (Ugggh) show up...hope your landlord, grocer, hungry kids are as understanding as you are, sweetie, sugarplumb - You're all the best!

I'm guessing the reason these companies won't put their names is afraid they will get bashed.
I'm not sure why else they wouldn't be proud enough to put their company name. Pretty sad..
