Fear of change I guess.

Hmmmm..I was afraid of that. I guess I saw that coming. Everyone said it'd change with the merger
and the days of a gift card would be gone. Oh well, it kind of goes along with everything else, different way to get shorted on line counts too. I guess ...This is what they call cutbacks.  Tis' the season
Nothing will change unless we make it change..SM
As long as we accept the exploitation that this MT profession has reduced us to, it will keep going on.  The top of this is the outsourcing.... well, get your legislators involved....better yet, the MEDIA.  How many patients know their private medical information is being outsourced to halfway around the world? The squeeky wheel gets the grease.  Do the patients know that their info won't be sold by some unscrupulous MT (halfway around the globe) to insurance companies, etc., making all this Medical records privacy a joke. It's not just our T-shirts being made in other countries; it's our most personal, private medical information, of which the public is not being made aware of.  Not to speak of undercutting out profession to the bare bone.  Granted, most US MTs are willing to work below market wage just to have a job, especially in economically-deprived areas, where outside jobs are scarce, and kids need to be fed and mortgages need to be paid.  MTSOs know this.  I'll bet they'll be the first to lobby against any action against outsourcing.  (Wouldn't you be...if you got people to work for pennies while you're raking in the big $$$'s ?  Still, notwithstanding the outsourcing problem, we're still going along with all the BS...working for pennies, whatever the client wants, he gets... ever notice how all of the MTSO flak seems to be re. unpaid work...mostly, demographic issues we're not even paid for... bec. It has to be done.. Part of the job... The client put the wrong info but we have to correct it...all unpaid work.  Just give me a job with nothing but straight transcription, w/o the unpaid/demo. flak..I'll take it even at the present, absurd pennies-per-line state of the profession.
You initials might be SD then, right?

Why not initials? No one knows just by initials

why not initials
Supervisor at Spheris
Wish you had different initials
Okay, DK, I wish you would use different initials, they are too close to mine and I don't want anybody getting the wrong info!!!
my initials too
It is interesting that you mentioned a poster's initials. My initials are CLK and I have never posted anything on this board - good or bad. It makes me nervous when I see my initials attached to something I didn't write. I can only hope my employer doesn't see it.
Initials
Initials aren't allowed either. My post was pulled again.
Initials plz?
nm
Her initials are not AR
Why would someone do business that cuts the finances that close that they can't pay people?

I'm the OP. Initials are BH and, is the SM
person you are referring to initials of SL?

If they have both of those people the results should be quite good.
Their old initials were really more appropriate than

what they are using now - and every time I look at it it reminds of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - but the old one definitely fit the anti-American medical transcriptionist. 


Of course, if you are one of the 'in-crowd' you can get certified after 1 year of home training and doing clinic notes but no acute care, but after that we change the rules, right?   And of course that vast knowledge qualifies you to be one of the management staff with your all frills attached and allowed travel benefits.


 


What do initials mean?
Sorry to sound so dumb but what do those letters mean?
Could it have the initials
CSSH or CSMH?
What are the initials of these 2 women. I think I know but not sure. Why do they keep them.
:
Let's give initials only. sm
ET and SS
I will not give initials because
and I don't want the person hiring me to hate me

It must be good. It has the same initials as me.
:}
Hmm, is this all the same poster using different initials?

The initials stand for
TTS- Transcription Technology and Support out of New Hampshire.
What account was this for (initials?)
I would hope this is not going on here.
I know the initials were AAMT, so it
was probably All American, can't remember what the name of the other company is/was though. 
Can you post initials here?
.
No initials or names. (nm)

Oh sure. And your initials stand for
,
If her initials are A.R. you won't get paid at all. nm
cc
Says below the initials for the company are PT
The only company I know with those initials doesn't do VR.
I can't remember what the initials FOB sm
stand for but its a little thing that looks like a key chain. It has numbers that change every 30 seconds or so and you have to have those numbers to sign in to the system.

Far as the UPS label goes, they said they sent it by e-mail and yes I would have to print it out. I didn't get it. I told them to send another or have one brought to the house (that is how they use to do it anyway) and I would send the pedal back. These people are a piece of work. I am tired of the hassle. Why I messed with them a month is beyond me!
Gee, the initials wouldn't be TT, would they?

Yep, something is definitely up there... 


meaning of initials
rolling on floor laughing my butt off ROFLMBO
Please give me the initials of the person
you talked to so that we can straighten this out on this end. This is NOT acceptable and we will take care of it.
Who is the "Harpy MTSO"? Initials, please? TIA.
:-)
It does not continue. No one will ever give initials or
let us know, so it is safe to assume that it is the same person every time.
Can you give us the initials if you won't share the name? nm
s
Just where do you work? Initials would be fine...nm

The initials for this company are TSSC....

Can you give me initials of this person
I think that would answer the question for me. My company has work so do not know if this is a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Just hope your TL doesnt have initials MA.
she was NASTY to me when i aked that question.
initials not allowed; yes, it happened.
nm
I use co. initials to take up less room so can post
x
Cool Down! I posted about initials but I am NOT
s
You want to at least put initials just in case someone has information.
I'm not sure about using names on here but I know they have when people are nonpayers. Why should they be kept private when they scam people
Hmm. Initials at least please. I have talked to their recruiters but did not take the job too.

Care to let us know the initials of this company?
I took a job a couple of weeks ago, but deferred because they were not ready to start the account. Have recently decided to start again as they phase in the new account, but concerned that you are talking about the same place I have decided to go with. I don't want bad news, but would like a heads up. I am so excited about this job, and was disappointed a couple of weeks ago but don't want to be disappointed again. Thanks in advance for any hint. Good luck to you as well!
not paid either, initials inside....
Are her initials L.S.? 
not paid either, initials inside....
Are her initials L.S.? 
could you give initials of company? I have been done like this before and
might be the same company.  I FINALLY got paid
if nm (no message) are your initials, might want to consider changing. NM
especially when you have so much to say inside these message pockets
No, but I sure hope the company's initials are AT!!!

When did this happen to you? And what are the initials of your TL? Mine is great as well and wonder
