"The most miserable group of people in the world"? Great attitude for a Lead.
Hope you're not one for long.
Excuse me, but nobody showed up for work, just excuses
To whoever said they were hired, and then no work. Nobody showed up for work. I hired Carol (for the 2nd time), sent her work assignments, and again I woke up with no work, just excuses why she could not work, again the second time. In fact, several Transcriptionist (the same ones over and over) keep answering the ad, and then never show up for work.
As for 26 surgeries, yes. Got the operative reports and scars to prove it.

Why do people think they have to be the QA police here. I am so tired of
people voicing their opinions, only to have it pointed out they didn't spell something correctly, or used the wrong word, or made a typo. We put up with this day in and day out in our jobs, trying to make sure everything is correct. Do we really have to do it here too? Frankly, I'm sick of it.
Maybe they are tired of hiring so-called experienced people sm
wwho get someone else to test for them. Maybe they want to hear the correct answers straight from the horse's mouth so to speak...
I've feel for the same thing and tired of dishonest people.
My favorite was when a recruiter would actually do all of her recruiting by pretending to be an MT. She went to great length singing the praises of her company, even though others were badmouthing the company. She was very convincing until I put two and two together. Actually, she wasn't too smart. She private emailed me from the board as the MT saying that she would contact her boss to recommend me.. Well, though and behold her boss and her both had the same email. Now, do I look like a moron or what. So, honestly, I rarely trust those cheerleaders on here and just take it with a grain of salt because you never know who your talking to.
tired of running out of work!
Are they any small companies out there they don't run out of work for IC people. I have a set schedule and lately have had to make adjustments to get my line count more then ever! Please E-mail with information. TIA. 
tired of running out of work
Molly: I am about to give you a closely held secret that will pay off.....guaranteed! Try contacting all the Speech Pathologists in your area and send them a flyer. I got tired of the ESL's, hospitals and even the national companies and have been working for 4 Speech and Lanugage therapists for going on 6 years. Very little complicated medical terminology and they don't require 24 hour service. I type 200+ pages per month at $5.00 a page (no line counts) and have a wonderful relationship with them. Try it.....it works! I also prepare professional resumes for a living.
Also, contact your local colleges for some extra transcription work and stay away from the line counts.
I hope this helps!
Resume
i'm so tired of running out of work. sm
i'm tired of working with companies that overhire. anyone out there known someone or a good company work for that has radiology. i'm just about ready to change my career. i've been doing this for 15 years and i think i'm getting burned out. but i'm not sure what else i want to do. i love the medical field. but i do have two elementary aged kids and like being home for them.
Tired of Waiting for work
Just want to vent here . . . .
I have worked for a IC for 5 years, over the summer the work dwindled down, keep getting promises of new accounts coming, still sitting here with no work. I am applying for the online jobs here every day. I have been doing MT for 13 years. I just get no response from any of the resumes I send. I'm going to have to get a job outside of home before my hubby kicks me out:( It just seems like nothing is ever going to come my way. I need a job!
Okay, vent over, thanks!
Yep, I got tired of waiting for work
and empty promises so I took on two jobs. Of course when they are both busy they want me to work extra. Tough. There was no work for me when I was trying to feed my family for weeks as I sat looking at a blank screen.
meant *work for* sorry..tired fingers..nm:)
...
Oh yes, that definitely excuses it!
I am SOOO sick and tired of BEGGING for work!
Anyone know of a company that is hiring ICs, flexible scheduling, multispecialty clinic, at least 8 cents a line (shows my desperation...!), steady, dependable work flow for the most part, a company where you can stay and work for at least a few years straight. Any out there? Do not want MDI-MD. Do not want to be an employee - want to be an IC. Do not want any complicated platforms. Any smaller companies out there? I can't find jack lately, even with over 10 years experience. I need consistent work!
Tired: Has worked picked up at FN. Used to work there and left for WX. sm
Would kind of like to go back. Loved the gang; I used to be a YOGer. Had to leave about 1-1/2 years ago because of no work. Still mostly IC? Thanks.
Tired of hearing that nurses work holidays because...sm
Nurse's in my area start pay at $63,000 per year. How many pennies a line do you making typing on Christmas Day?
One year I was forced to work on Thanksgiving and I sat there with no work. My family was in another town making memories and enriching their lives while I made 8 cents a line with no lines to type.
You are not a nurse and neither am I.
Are there companies out there that have clinic work? Tired of acute care..
I have both hospital and clinic experience, but I am tired of working for large hospitals where you cannot get familiar with the accounts or the dictators. I work part-time for an orthopedic surgeon and I love doing it as I can breeze through it because I have learned his style, voice etc.. It is getting so frustrating every day doing different doctors who either cannot speak English or choose to speed talk and ramble on so fast. Do they think we are miracle workers?? I guess you could say I want an easy account, which by now, I have figured out, does not exist OR does it?? HELP.. any ideas besides getting out of this profession 
Is Lee Perfect hiring, and how much do they pay? How is the work load. I'm tired of running out o
work with the present company. It's getting old and I cant survive on low work.
tired, tired, tired of all the tech
problems with these platforms. I just want to work on an old fashioned program, like WP5.1 or Medrite, maybe with voice wave. Too many problems. Does anybody know any companies that use something like these. Just call me a dinosaur lover.
Racism excuses censorship
I hate censorship too, but I hate racism more.
By the way racism = ignorance.
NON-PAYOR and full of excuses
Also uses the names Alliance Healthcare and/or Documed.
Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me
who cares what other trades are doing. Those guys make plenty of money in construction. These days MTs are lucky to make $15.00 hr and then have to work like sweathogs to get that!!!!
stop making excuses
If you are a working MT & can't make an educated guess based on 3 or 4 syllables, ends in amine or tryptan or something similar ..versus 1 or 2 syllables, ends in ex or aid or something equally snappy...then you should find another line of work.
tired of companies overhiring and then sitting and waiting endlessly for work
The accomplishes nothing because then people get tired of not making any money and move on. Is there no solution to this?
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.
Can you say where you work if you get assigned docs/accts.? I'm tired of this pool garbage/left
s
why be so miserable about your job? is there...
some other kind of work you can or want to do? honestly people, money is not everything and if you are working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet you are killing yourself for nothing but paying the bills.
Miserable
Yeah, air conditioner went belly up and the cheap ones are sold out. I would not be working in this if I were not so dedicated to paying my bills, LOL. Know what you mean about being sleepy because cannot sleep in this heat.
I have always had animals in my life (the kids always had to have their own pets and so used to be a full house) and cannot imagine living without a dog and cat around the house and at least one stray or unwanted pet to find a home for (right now a turtle found wandering the streets by a neighbor!).
Stay cool 
I am miserable there and hoping
to get out. I have never made such a low LPH. I was not aware that not being paid for spaces would hurt my production so much, but it has made a big difference. I do like their platform and it was easy to learn, but I still have bills to pay. I used to make 200 to 300 LPH with other companies, make 150 or so with this company. Also they have a program where you can look up previous reports on the same patient or examples of report types or by the same doc, but it always, freezes or goes so slow and I am stuck in my screen. I have heard from some others having this problem. It really slows me down. I am leaving as soon as I can.
Wow, what a nasty and miserable POS
you are. Sheesh!!!
If a person doing VR is miserable, then they need
to check around, find out people who are happy with VR as it looks like most are going that way regardless and then make a choice. No sense in being miserable trying to work with a system. Again, life is just too short for misery.
Come on - This board is not just for miserable MTs.
Understand your feelings, but why do you come here? Not everyone on here is miserable. Do they not have the right to post also. You do not have to respond to them, you know.
It is very informative to see which companies have work, which do not, and for how long. Pay, incentives, and bonuses are also very informative. Who gets them and who doesn't.
Don't shoot the messenger!
You sound miserable....why do you stay? nm

Bet you're quite miserable with that tude.
lol
I think you should at least try to change STMs if you are miserable.
Mine is awesome. Super flexible and super helpful in everything. She gives us the option to flex if we want or take PTO (obviously we could use unpaid if we need) if we would rather. This last week when work was low and a holiday, she told us we should submit PTO request ahead of time and then if we needed we could unrequest some if we were able to make up some hours.
Maybe you could get with a new STM once the new accounts come in? Maybe ask to switch accounts?
You're right. It is miserable to be a US employee anymore.
We treat the immigrant workers and the overseas workers better than we treat our own ... it's the American way, of late, anyway.
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I also encountered a QA nazi..She made my life miserable.
She was ridiculous to say the least. Is this company out of FL or UT? It just sounds very familiar.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Sorry. That was eTransPlus. TT had the miserable ESLs and teaching hospital that I couldn't
s
As a former "QA Nazi" undeserved or not, you guys make our lives miserable, too.
Especially ESL MTs who used to be doctors in India who think they know it all and like to threaten lawsuits. Yah, that's the ticket.
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
yes, baloney, baloney, all lame excuses for weak grammar...nm
nm
I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
Do you MDI-MD people have enough work? sm
I saw an ad on one of the other boards and thought I had seen someone mention there wasn't enough work there. Just wanted to find out the current situation before I pursue anything with them. TIA!
For people looking for work
Anybody thinking of going to work for LM in PA, run for your life, not a good place to work, bad communication, or none at all, and a bunch of backstabbers.
I work for these people
Its as bad, as it sounds.
Worse even.
is all IC transcription like this?
who do you people work for? NM
