In Reply to: Geez! - LMAO

opinions should be welcome here, but LMAO is just cruel beyond words. Are these the kind of posts that mtstars really want on here? Just cruelty to people who are down and out?

LMAO poster is a very cruel and scary poster. If you have any sympathy at all, could you please stop her?

Didn't realize it was catty to realize that from 1/18 to 1/25 is a week and nothing happened. sm
Thanks for being supportive and kind.
I think you all need to realize
That MDI would not have never been created if not for Liz and Sue McGrogan....remember this is a company that they built from scratch.   So without Sue's input MDI would not be what it is today.  Kudos for her and the $$$ her business has made over the years.  I don't care where you work you are not going to be able to please EVERYONE all of the time. It just doesn't work that way...Oh and by the way...I am not management and I don't even work for MDI...I work for hospital in Florida. 
Maybe you need to realize that they
most likely had to sell out because of their poor management abilities! Management is where all the troubles lie!
I'm sure you realize...
...that much of what I said was tongue in cheek, as there really AREN'T questions that will identify someone who has a personality problem. Unless, or course, the person is severely troubled and is speaking tangentially, or is using word salad, or has flight of ideation. I've come to realize that grandiosity is an uncommon, but workable trait in some MTs. Lol....

I appreciate your thoughts and wisdom on the topic. Hopefully others will begin to recognize that, short of tests that are designed to help identify problems, there isn't anything a recruiter can do to weed out the problem folks. To infer that there is someone bigger and better than a recruiter ("the MTSO")to accomplish this isn't going to be easy, or cost-effective.
Don't you realize..........sm
that many of these posts are from MTs who have experienced your hiring process nightmares first hand? You only make it worse for your company by coming on this board and calling us liars.

I don't think most realize that you don't have
to be consistent. I stick with it consistently.

It's not that hard to make this money. You're right - don't work for peanuts. Find the line rate you need.

It can still pay well if you're good at this work. Some people just aren't as good as others.

Thank you. I now realize that I am being
paid for links. Just did not know what they were exactly. I have been counting them as separate reports so I guess the end result regarding pay is the same.
I realize that, I was just saying...sm
There were companies I worked for that didn't require me to send invoices because I know that if the IRS were to question them, all they have to do is show them the contract that I signed as an IC and it saves their butts. I wasn't disputing.
Not sure if you realize...
but the 7th was a Sunday. Of course you were paid on the 8th.

I don't work for Cardioscribes, so it's really none of my business, but you're making yourself look pretty bad here. Banks aren't open on Sunday for DD, and mail doesn't run on Sunday...so you do the math there.
You might not appreciate it, but do you realize that
every day there are people wondering how they are going to feed their kids, that people are losing their houses, and $100 would be a major blessing to them. 
You have to realize there is more than 1
Medscribe, none related.
OK, where's the moderator on this one?
Not OK - I think you should be banned. This language is COMPLETELY uncalled for. Cut it.
The moderator said....

post nicely and all I read here in this thread are personal attacks....sure sounds and looks like stalking to me.


Not that anyone asked my opinion and I'm just adding  my 2 cents after just finding this website 2 days ago.  All bulletin boards are the same - they get real nasty, unfortunately.


Personally, I don't see how personal attacks on how someone left a former company is productive or conducive to learning on these bulletin boards.  Posting people's personal info on whether they were fired or not should also not be allowed.

Moderator..
Please delete duplicate post. Don't know how that happened. Thanks.
MODERATOR HELP PLEASE

Has it been confirmed by the company on this board that they are offshoring work?


I am still not sure if I should go with them or not. 


 


To Moderator
Is there any way to do a search on this board and come up with the more recent posts?  Whenever I do a search, I  come up with posts as of 7-8 months ago and then older, and I know there are posts from just a week ago.  Am I doing something wrong, or is there no way to include the most recent posts (up to within the last few days) in a search.  TIA.
FOR MODERATOR
I'm sorry - I meant to post this under MQs forum - can you move please?  sorry about that.
The moderator (nm)
Half the board is taken up with employees and insiders' posts... but then again I don't really care :)
Um, that's moderator... nm

MODERATOR
I feel this is an appropriate section for this because it is aimed towards companies that outsource but also includes political views to try and influence the reader to look for companies that do not outsource. I believe it could also be posted on a separate page to cover the political view, but this is aimed to grab the reader's attention with the aim towards American companies that do not offshore.
Well moderator, I think she knows to look there, duh!
She is looking for some recommendations of good companies. Geesh!
TO THE MODERATOR

Whoever this person is posting as SoftScript management and posting such derrogatory remarks about people should be banned from posting here.  If that person does truly work for Softscript, she is definitely hurting them, and if she doesn't, well....she is definitely hurting them.  I do not, nor have I ever worked for SS, but I find her comments to other people totally out of line and extremely offensive.  Please consider this.


 


Now where's the moderator
They've got another posting up there now looking for someone in their Bangalore office, which is a bit of a commute for a US based transcriptionist.
Thank you moderator
Thank you for the explanation.
The Moderator said...
that MTStars can provide the information through a court order.  Whether that is the case, I have no idea nor do you, I imagine.  Either way, the bottom line is that they apparently know who posted what and there is a lawsuit.
Given the name Moderator...
Wow! I must have hit a nerve with you. You are really bent out of shape about being told off, aren't you? You even went to the extent to E-mail someone and beg to have your post closed so you could have the last word. What a goof you are. Ha ha ha!
I think once you get into it you'll realize just

how little med-speak you know.   I have always soaked up anything medical, starting in junior high and terminology came very easy to me, but I have been in this business 20 years and I still learn new info all the time.   I may learn a new piece of equipment or new drug, or have a doctor from a different part of the country and he may use different terminology, not necessarily new, but new to me.  I may have a day go by where I don't have to look up anything, but I rarely have 2 days that I don't.  


The speed will come with practice.  I barely passed typing in junior high and never really typed aftewards until I started in this profession.  If I had to take a typing test where I had to type from a book I'd fail, but I can fly when typing dictation.  


I didn't realize there was such a
company where everyone is happy and no negative comments.  Point me in the right direction - I certainly would appreciate it.
You need to realize that about 80 pc of the docs sm

practicing acute care in this country are ESL.  It is what it is. 


I like them a lot better than the native English speakers, who slur words, like to play with the language.  ESLs learn one way to say it, and they say it that way every time.  You just have to get used to it.


You have to realize that there are some people that you cannot sm
make happy no matter what you do and that those same people take their negative selves to the boards and attack their latest company. It IS two-sided. MTSOs have as many problems with MTs as MTs do with MTSOs, but we are supposed to just sit back and be attacked without voice.

There are some people who have miserable lives and like to spread their poison everywhere they go. The problem is that they seem nice and normal when being hired and then their true self shines through within days or weeks.
glad you realize

what I am talking about.  I worked on it for 2 weeks.  I gave it my best shot.  My Expander was loaded.  The account was super-easy, but Meditech ran so slow I was typing faster than it could run and I was typing a word, pausing, typing a word, pausing.  I have worked on more than 50 accounts in my career and 10 or so different software systems.  I can say, without exaggeration, I would not work on that particular account if they offered me $25/hr salary.  I was so stiff with tension at the end of the day I walked like Frankenstein.


 


Thanks, I didn't realize there were so many. nm

Bet I realize who this company is - sm

Someone on here did that to me too, was back and forth, back and forth, had a confusing pay scale, just had another ad on the boards this past week.  Don't want to say too much here because I KNOW they come here although it is not a well known place. 


If it is the same place, I'd say run because I think the problem is just total chaos and disorganization - nothing to be a part of.


While I realize we all need a Plan B, I mean...
the same thing? Maybe we should broaden our horizons elsewhere? Anyone else thinking this way? Break out of the mold...you know??
that was nice of you, I did not realize
you would do that.
Oh they realize, and they were the first ones I contacted
XX
I realize...I just want a job that has a ton of work that
I can do as I please. There is one company I've been hearing about that has a ton of work and will let me go part-time, which helps (since I have a current job as well). I have little kids, it's just so hard...not what it used to be.
Now I truly realize with that statement
Brillant, hehe. Associating with the group that is having those infamous tea parties- now the postings make sense taking up for her. I get it. What kind of nuts do you like?
Seems it's the moderator's perogative.
After all, it's their board, not anyone else's. As long as it's done fairly and consistently for all issues for all companies, I don't have a problem with it myself. Even if it isn't, I have the choice to view and participate, or not. We all have that right.

This moderator doesn't have to play by anyone's rules but their own, and the popularity of this board speaks to the success of how they've handled things so far. I've had a post or two pulled in the past and, in retrospect, I'm glad it was done. I'm not perfect, and at times I get angry at some of the ignorant, hate-filled posts. My posts have probably been pulled as a part of the whole hate-mongering post's thread and that's really just fine. If some information that was "valuable" is lost to the public at the same time, well, so be it.

Also, sometimes "negative" posts not only are negative, they are downright ugly and nasty.

I have to agree with a poster a while back that, if you don't like what you see (or don't see) on a given board, there are plenty of places to create one of your own.


Mr./Ms. Moderator pleeeeeeze!!!
Have you gone on vacation or just thrown up your hands and given up on trying to keep this crap off here????!!!!  Looks like things have gotten waaaaay out of control.  Guess it's obvious you can't get through to the people determined to act like idiots on here, so why try? 
Huh? Moderator, what's your opinion? (sm)
I don't see what's wrong with what I posted.  I didn't give out personnel names or account names.  I don't see the big deal.

If it's improper, fine, delete it.
Moderator: Can you require sm

ads to give a company name as well as IC, statutory or employee status??  Would make things much clearer and simpler.  Thanks, MomMT


Moderator - How can I e-mail you? nm

n


I agree moderator
The subject is off-shoring - a persons, race, beliefs, age, quality, experience, etc is not the issue. Stick to the point, I do not want offshore not just because I lose income, but because I do not want my information sent half-way around the world to India, China, Vienna, Mexico etc - The US needs to keep our earning potential, information, and growth within our borders - we do enough overseas and across borders for our foreign neighbors - technology, money, troops - I do not need them in my GYN visit too. So whether you are red, white, or blue, brown, yellow or orange - if you are a US citizen - I stand behind you, and want the work kept here. Lets effect a change, not animosity. One pays off, the other does not.

I agree...moderator, what's going on? nm..

Moderator, can you please email me?
thanks. 
I just reported this ad to the moderator
All job posters MUST post the company name according to the note from the moderator on the job board.
moderator...just curious, but why
was the rest of this post deleted?  I was hoping to get more info. 
Moderator, please take note
The jobs board is totally cluttered with Focus ads, breaking that 2 ads rule.  I understand wanting to keep the board full of ads, but they don't need to repost over and over.
