I'm stumped!

In Reply to: MDI-MD - Carlotta M. Buckley

I've read these negative complaints many times here, and I have to say...I just don't get it. I'm a former MQ transcriptionist. I was with them for 7 years and made the switch to MDI about 3 years ago. I've never been happier....very seldom have a day with low work volumes (other than the normal holiday slumps), have never had a problem making a change in my schedule, and honestly have never come across a staff member that I found rude or otherwise difficult to work with. I have about 5 accounts, but rarely have to go to a secondary. However, if I did have a problem, I would be addressing it to Carlotta or Dorothy at MDI, not here on an MT forum. My experiences with Carlotta and Dorothy have always been positive. When I first started out with MDI, I encountered some technical problems that nearly forced me to leave MDI, but Carlotta did her very best to accommodate and work out a plan that would enable me to continue on with MDI. I will always be extremely grateful that she went that extra mile for me. I can't help but feel badly for Carlotta getting slammed here. I have never received a threat to decrease my line count pay, and since these mailings go out to all transcriptionists, I'm seriously doubting that a threat like that ever took place. I have seen a mailing about changing an MT's status to p.r.n., but only if they aren't consistently meeting their line commitments. I don't see a problem with that at all. I absolutely do not regret taking a position with MDI. In fact, I feel extremely fortunate to have found them.

Somewhat similar here, and I'm stumped
I accepted a position with a company as an IC. They sent me all the info on the hospital, etc., and said they'd call in a few days with my ID and for training. They called, I was at the grocery store (shame on me). I've been calling them back for over a week now, have read all the documentation and am ready to go - now they're not calling me back. What is up with this stuff? Why would they go through all this trouble and then just drop off the face of the earth?
