If this is the one in Fort Mills, SC ...

There was a post on here a couple of weeks ago about them bouncing checks.  It was also posted at MTchat under MT companies, posted on 05/09/2009.  Again, it was posted here but my archives are not working correctly tonight for some reason. 


Hope this helps!


I'm in Fort Worth
But I'm looking to work at home, not on site.

I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.

What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

I am stuck at OSi

I tried full time with another company but had issues with their platform and couldn't make my line count so now I'm stuck back at OSi full time and hate every minute of it.  I'm too depressed and downtrodden to even keep trying.  I feel like I'm in an impossible situation.  This has been going on for years and I don't know where to turn.  If I make another leap which doesn't turn out I will be in the same boat.



Looks like you are stuck with us.

Sorry - that should be "sincerely" - the "c" key stuck on me again!

Way too mny companies for anyone to be stuck

You bit on it, and now you're stuck!
You can't trust everyone in this profession.  One day, you'll wake up and realize what you're doing, which is defending someone who obviously knows how to make a buck off of people like you.  Have a nice life!
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
8.5 cpl?? Are you sure it was NE? They've had pay stuck at 7 and 8 cpl for years! nm

It's true that the new MTs get stuck w/ crap
I found that to be true and got nowhere when I asked to be moved. The person who started this thread is making the right decision by leaving and so am I.
Are U new there? Get stuck with an atrocious acct out of NY? nm

Oh my...Ever get a word stuck in your brain...sm

that you know is wrong, but you use it anyway?  That is what happened there.  How embarrassing. 


I have been stuck with companies that subcontracted
I work escription and love the platform, but have been stuck working for a company that subcontracted from I don't know where. I have looked for other companies to work for, but find so many subcontract for the company I work for (who gets the work from someone else) and are connected somehow. How can you find the source company to work for? I would really love to know that. Thank anyone in advane who can answer that. It is very true that the more people who take a piece of the pie before you, get the best pieces, hence more money.

VR is not always bad, the bad is that the pay is much, much too low. It should pay the same as straight.
I have been with MDI-MD since the end of 2005 - and I
totally agree with the comments by anon. I enjoy working for them. Fantastic, caring people to work for. Communication is excellent and far above what I have experienced in the past. Replies are practically instantaneous via email with any questions, problems, etc., you might have to the liaison of your account - same with telephone help via technical support. Have normal slow-downs in work over the Holidays, but I'm kept extremely busy on a daily basis on the account that I'm on - usually doing more than my commitment, though not required to do so. Should there ever be a lack of work on my account and I wanted an additional account, all I would need to do is ask. Please note -- I am on ONE ACCOUNT -- not 5, 10, or more !! Since being hired, I can honestly say that I now love being a medical Transcriptionist again - something I had lost during my prior 12 years with another company :o)
MDI-FL Any 2005 MDI-FL MTs still around who can

Transcend took over MDI-FL in January of 2005.  Is there anyone who transferred to Transcend from MDI-FL in 2005 that is still working for Transcend or can remember back then, and could shed some light on how the transition went and answer some of the questions like:


1.  Did your cpl change?  Higher?  Lower?


2.  Did you have to go to a set schedule?


3.  Did you get to stay on the same accounts that you had at MDI-FL?


Any other information you could share would sure be great.



Thank you.

I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. Sorry for those who stuck around!! sm
I sure hope you find something soon......my heart goes out to you. Lesson learned, I suppose. When people show you who they really are....believe it.

They last had an ad here in 2005 for 8 cpl. No other info. nm

still only get posts from 2005

I must be mentally insufficient to utilize these new-fangled gizmos.


 


Their last ad here was from 2005. They may have folded or
?
Sorry. It has to be me. I did exactly what you said and all it has is 2004 and 2005.
Thanks anyway.  Maybe someone will still enlighten me, but obviously it is not looking too positive so I probably won't waste my time with them.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other  offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.

Mine didn't seem to work when I had it minimized, so I'm stuck using their own expander, which

2400 lines, I'm stuck on that number. 8 hours??? I want to see her answer that one.

outstanding account(s) to do this in 8 hours.  We had one whole week lately with no work at all, maybe get 30 lines an hour.  And it wasn't just our office, people were calling NJ also about not having any work.


 And if you are doing quality work, you have to be slowing down to make out the slurrs and bad grammar. 


Well, her day will come.  When they turn her into an editor, and her accounts dry up into nothing but VR let's see what happens.  And her account must be very simple (tasty for VR grabbing), it will disappear. 


LOL


No one is stuck with the worst. The work is not pooled like MQ. It is by account and FIFO. nm

Don't know, but the posts from 2005 about them are quite negative. nm

I cannot answer for February of 2005.

I was not employed there then.  I have been there a little over 2 years.  I can say when I started at Axolotl there were maybe 10 to 15 acute care MTs.  We have more than doubled in size since then.  I do know that if we had work outsourced to other companies, we would not have the amount of work to transcribe that is always here.


Axolotl is also an EMR provider and if you go to their website you can read all about that area of their business. 


In my 15 years of being a trancriptionist, I have never found a better company to work for and this is why:


1.  They treat their MTs like they should be treated. 


2.  They compensate MTs the way they should be compensated. 


3.  The platform is great. 


4.  We do not run out of work and they do not overhire. 


5.  They offer great benefits.


6.  Great management and editors.


After reading so many horror stories on this site about some of the nightmares other MTs have gone through with other companies, plus the fact I have had a few myself, I am BLESSED to find such a great company.


You are still wrong, I'm sorry; that manual is from 2005 sm
All the managers sent out information saying it was at their discretion. Instead of posting here, why don't you just ask your manager if it is true?
2005 MW Social Security Statement

Thank you very much for alerting us to this. 


I am ex-MW employee.  I too am going to report MW as my 2005 SS statement was not reported.  I hope they are FULLY investigated.


I am going to call SS in the morning.  Who should I notify in the Department of Labor?


I also did not have my state taxes taken out by MW, but I was required to pay my state taxes as if I were an IC in my state, even though I was an employee in this company.

I didn't work there way back in 2005, so
I can't comment on your personal experience, but for me in 2008:

1. If you run out of work, you are paid downtime. You can do backup acounts also. Not sure about the written consent but there are a lot of us who work on other accounts.

2. Sample reports: The program allows you to bring up previously typed reports by experienced MTs by doctor, patient, report type, etc., so the MT has endless samples.

3. Supervisor currently, from what I can tell anyhow, has a lot of contact with hosital including informing them of problem dictators and other issues that directly impact the MT's production, etc.

4. I think they changed the insurance to cover out-of-area employees, but don't quote me on that.

Personally I've had a very good experience with the FL account. Nothing is perfect, but I'm very satisfied.
Pay was low back in 2005 unless you worked the entire weekend. nm

Sounds like me, I got it today and I haven't worked there since 2005
