Iridium
I am working this morning and FYI there is plenty of work out there to be done rather than sitting here making statements that are simply not the case.  At the end of the day, fast food might be the better option for you if this is all you have to do on a Sunday morning.  Now I can understand all the comments from people who wonder out loud why people here are so negative.  I know that your statements are not true.  Get off your whine, do the work that is assigned to you and stop posting your unhappiness and perhaps just do something about it. Let us all know about your next company as well.  We'll be wating.   
Iridium??

I was offered an oncology account by Iridium Services today.  Does anyone know anything about the company - good or bad?


Iridium
I heard they don't have work, but they hire every so often anyway. Let us know how you make out.
Iridium
I do have a list of questions for them this morning - what platform they use, how they pay, how often, where they are located, etc.  I will let you all know!!  If anyone else has information, please forward.  Thank you.
At Iridium...
just realized a new person started and is getting all the cake dictators, maybe 1 rasty dictator, but all the ones others have asked for repeatedly over time and have been denied...

CRAPPY management I would say... we need to confront the management en masse about the unfairness of job assignments
What do you know about Iridium Technologies?
I'm looking for a new job and have tested with Iridium Technologies.  What do you know about them?  I am looking for a Radiology only job.
Iridium Services
Has anyone ever heard of a company called Iridium Services based in Florida?  They actually contacted me asking for my services -- said "a physician" gave them my phone #.  I have an unlisted # and the accounts I work on don't have my #.  Just wanted to know if it was a legit company or are they an outsourcing company.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
IRIDIUM inconsistencies

Iridium has rules that NEARLY everybody follows.  Two main ones are you only do your preferred pool and you don't suspend work.  One person specifically continues to do work NOT in her preferred and to suspend work that is NOT in her preferred.  AND she appears to get away with it as it happens nearly daily.  Below is a post on this board by that person.  There seems to be a lack of teamwork on her part, which she so vehemently was excited was present at Iridium. 


It may be time to start job hunting.  It is so hard to have any trust in management when there is a favorite or 2 who is allowed to not play by the same set of rules as the rest of us struggling to get lines and have some money in our paychecks.  This company has sure not lived up to its promises to transcriptionists at all. 


Not that I have to explain

myself  to you I will respond.  I decided to join Iridium 4 weeks after I was contacted by them.  I also was told that Iridium outsourced, which was the reason for my original post.  I would never work for a company that outsourced and I wasn't going to jump ship before I had some information.  I worked on the account for 8 years at my previous employer, and like most professionals give notice of their intention to leave.  I left my previous employer with the understanding I would be transcribing the same dictators, which has NOT happened.  I have one, and that decision came from the account administration because it was the DOCTOR's choice.  Do you feel shafted by everyone that started working after you because you were there first, or do you just have something against me?  So much for the teamwork I keep hearing about, and how great everyone is.  Maybe next time you'll reveal your true identity so I can respond to you directly.

Love it here. Pay is on time and the team members are wonderful. Lots of work. The way a real company should be!
Iridium job applicants
Has anyone who applied for the oncology job at Iridium heard back from them?  I applied but haven't heard back and was wondering if anyone else has...maybe they're inundated with applicants.
Anyone else tired of games at Iridium??

I am so tired of the games of management, promises that people will follow the rules not being kept (as in no apparent consequences), my preferred pool forever changing, hurrying to save work for the weekend and either having none while others have lots, and then if you do have lots, you work your tail off to get it done only to have no work monday morning.    


What has this industry come to?  Fast food work ALMOST sounds appealing ...
