Love 'em! They're my MT home (sm)

Posted By: Shelby on 2005-10-02
In Reply to: UST - Any Info

for the rest of my career I hope. I've been there 2 years and I cannot say enough good about the owners and the way they run the company. Plenty of work, pay never late, and I have never felt like an anonymous number on an employee roster there. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to e me @ ustshelby@hotmail.com and I'll try to help.

love 'em

Love 'em.
Most are a lot more interesting than your usual hospital reports.  I found there were a smaller group of docs to deal with and can get really familiar with them and not searching to find doc names , new drugs and facilities as much.  They do usually talk fast but that is what my slower control is for;-)
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
 
Some love 'em, some don't. DQS software drove me away about 3 mos. ago...nm

it's called razzle/dazzle, confuse 'em, make 'em doubt themselves nm

The real number rounds down to how much you averaged/ made an hour.


No matter how you figure, by the line, character, gross line, by the page, by the dictation minute  or whatever, it is what you can average out in a day of work.


You work 10, 12, 14, 16 hours and make $XXXX you divide your hours worked into what you ended up with


Kick 'em 2 the curb - U are 2 good 4 'em! nm

you will feel right at home and love it

I love working at home...

I agree that there are those out there that think being an at-home MT is a piece of cake and anyone can do it and they are sorely mistaken...I have an 8-1/2 year old and a 14 month old and I take great pride knowing that I am able to do my job and take care of my children....I have never used my children as an excuse not to get work done and I don't plan on it...my job as an MT is very important and I do it to the best of my ability....I do wish people would take more pride in their work but we don't all have the same work ethics unfortunately...


If you get sent home in a week, you're lucky, SM
I considered applying for an MT home-based job for a local hospital in my town. They wanted me to work in-house 8-5 for FOUR TO SIX MONTHS, even though I have 10+ years of experience and worked there several years ago, so was familiar with the docs. No thanks, especially with 2 kids at home that would need day care to the tune of $750 or so per month. I passed (the money wasn't great anyhow, but the insurance was pretty decent).

I do hear that in some parts of the country, there are still some good home-based jobs. Unfortunately, more and more hospitals seem to be either going the ASR route or outsourcing.
No, they're home on the range in the ole wild west.nm
  
I love doing pathology, but it is hard to find a position for working at home. Gross pathology is
easy, descriptive typing.  Microscopic is a little more difficult, but once you get the terminology down, it goes really quickly.  I also found it easy to get lines in with pathology.  If you've done acute care, you should not have a problem with the transition, IMHO. 
I'd love to do that for you. But they're referring

Gosh, you're lucky! I'd love to make that much!
I do hope to at least get 9 cents a line somewhere anyway.
Glad you're happy -- I love MDI-MD too, although I missed out on the signup bonus. :( nm

In the early days, MedQuist said working at home was a benefit, therefore at-home sm
employees did not receive as many benefits as those working in-house.  As I believe, it was something like at-home employees got 3 days off a year versus 10 days for the in-office employees -- WHAT?!!!  I told them it made no sense to me, since by working at home I was saving them money -- no need to provide office space, equipment, references, utilities, etc. -- yet I get shafted.  I was only part-time when they took over the previous company with their great policies, and I told them to kiss where I can't. 
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

had 'em all going!

not if you don't tell 'em about it! lol
just keep quiet about it
You tell 'em FastRad!! sm
$78,000 last year. Want to see my 1099's?
You tell 'em sister....

Cuz I'm just a grinch and have poverty of the soul because I didn't provide comfort and joy as what some perceive to be what the OP wanted.  Pity party is what she wanted and yes at this point I'm beating a dead horse, which is maybe what I'll call myself now.


As for the OP, I guess he got off her a$$ and finally made that call since according to all of the posters that supposedly support her claim she worked 24 hours in one day to get her lines in.  Now that deserves pity!


I stand by what I say, and I mean what I say.  If the OP wanted pats on the back and awwww so sorry, then so be it.  What I said is true when there's no work I don't sit on my a$$ and wait at all hours of the night and day, I look for another job.  Fortunately, I haven't had to do that.


And yes, NY MT is correct in that everyone wants their cake and eat it too. What took the OP so long to make that call and get those back up accounts?  It took for me to shake her up!  But you all got her back now, so she'll be just fine! 



Tell 'em sister...

if the money in the paycheck is green, it will spend. 


Furthermore, no one knows who off shores or not.  There could be companies that say they do not off shore, but they do.  How would we know?  I say if the pants fit right, keep them on and walk around like you own the place instead of worrying about something that is not in our control.


Furthermore, just because a company advertises no off shore applicants does not necessarily mean they do not off shore.  It just means they also hire US MTs.


Umm... duhh! Of course I have - I'm one of 'em.
What I was taking about is that companies use that as an EXCUSE when they're trying to make their case about offshoring. They claim that all their US MT's are going to up and retire en masse someday, and they'll need to send more and more work offshore.

Just one more strand in their big web of lies.
High five! You tell 'em!
That's just what I was thinking.
Call 'em!
Never say never. Give the recruiter and a call and follow-up on it. Sounds like you're almost in the door, so don't throw in the towel yet.

Go get 'em, girl!!!
You tell 'em sista...
People want feedback....  Here's your feedback and I heard the same thing as you!  Not worth it! 
Go ahead and warn 'em
but all too many people get carried away and make up all kinds of nonsense.  I have worked for a few companies and do know what is out there.  I have others to compare this company to.  So, that sure isn't the case.  Anyway, its a free board, post away...just warning others to watch out and to form their own opinions.
That's what I did...left 'em off my resume. GL to you.

I'm glad I turned 'em down...
I'm sorry to hear that...last summer, I was in contact with them, they offered me a job and I purchased a pedal from them...something about them just struck me as oogy, though, and I ended up changing my mind and turning them down. So, whew, guess I dodged a bullet.
Never heard of 'em - and I live in SC!
Do they have a website?
Oh, egads, that was stingy of 'em!
That's penny-ante wages!
You should call KS and tell 'em the situation (sm)

Ask to speak to the Director of Ops, KB. 


Hang in there!  To leave no work and come to no work is not good.  Unfortunately, the hospitals and other clients take forever to assign IDs to KS MTs. 


Yikes - with the pay cuts and all? You can have 'em.

try archives, never heard of 'em. nm

Most of 'em won't tell you diddly until you've
up to & including your SS#, which I won't give 'til I've tested & gotten an acceptable offer.
Hahaha! That's too funny! You tell 'em! nm

Go get 'em. I will be rooting for you in absentia. nm
nm
Several posts in the last month or so if you do a search. Some like 'em, some don't. nm

Thank you kindly - I'll check 'em out!
:)
I work there and am very happy. Give 'em a try!
Very professional, accommodating, and fair.
did that many many times...still calling, can't stop 'em
no call list is a crock. I have been on it since it was first implemented and as far as I can tell, it has never stopped any body from calling, particularly the automated phone calls.
I have a friend who works for them and she loves 'em. don't know about pay
nm
Doesn't cost anything to report 'em to
 
I'd tell 'em, 'From now on, send me ONE email/day -
And I'd turn off the IM if they abused it like that.
It's starting to feel like MQ there. Can't trust 'em....sm
Although I know people will jump to correct me, many of us have a very hard time getting our hours in. Line counts are down. I worked over 39 hours and 20 minutes last week--all I could scrape together--then got an E-mail from my STM telling me to put in for an hour of PTO since I did not have 40 hrs last week. What vacation you do accrue often goes for making up the hours you can't work because of the lack of work available. They spout off about excellence, commitment, blah, blah, blah, but they are not committed to their employees and outsource work as the not looking good poster said. Unless they are hiring for unusual shifts, I wonder why they are hiring at all. You can easily have 5 accounts and no work. Who knows what they will do next? Pay cuts? That's my bet. They can give us the tough economy talk again to justify it.
I'd tell 'em they could have their foot pedal back
Don't forget, if they can take legal action for return of a little used foot pedal, you most CERTAINLY can take legal action over nonpayment for the lines they gypped you out of.
It is First Choice Medical and they are a great company. Nothing bad to say. Try'em. nm

Great place to work - give 'em a try!

The last 3 I applied for called ALL of mine! I did give 'em a head's up, tho'. :) nm

Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.
