Me thinks somebody is a bit paranoid.

In Reply to: For a little history..... - Ex-Cali MT

I've worked other places and I've never done as well as I have at TT. I doubt they pull the bull you state.

For me, I planning on being there until I retire. I think you should back up your info with FACTS, not RUMOR.

Me thinks you think too much!!
 Thus, the problemo!
SHE thinks she's the only one who knows how!
who is that unqualified for the position she's in. You're either SD herself or someone she put up to posting this nonsense because she's definitely an approval seeker and would be horrified to know that she wasn't fooling anyone.  Keep shoveling.  I find it amusing. 
Better thinks about it
They don't pay for spaces.  They fine you for mistakes.  Everyone is mood at that company.  Horrible experience working for them.  Better think about it.
Nothing yet. Am I the only one who thinks this is odd???
When companies switch insurance plans, they do it months in advance and not keep working on it long after their insurance is canceled.
The OP thinks she is SM

being specifically singled out for bad treatment because she **dares** to question them.  Completely ridiculous.  I know all of us would like to believe the world revolves around us, but the reality is that an MT that questions my corrections or feedback is barely noticed by me. 


Just like MTs, our working conditions have deteriorated over the years and the majority of us have the same priorities as MTs, getting the work out the door and keeping the office off our back.


Me thinks it isn't the platform...
that causes the problem, but the company you work for that controls how the lilnes are counted!
She thinks she's texting

Me thinks you are not really 'admin.'

Getting paranoid.
You and I are both obviously Diskriter employees, I have never posted a followup wherein when I typed the M other word a link came up, I looked at your post and the same thing happened. This needs further research, do you think it is coincidental that both of us are DR employees; not supposed to be using their great equipment, yet when we posted the M other alphabet a link came up? Gonna do a google search, I bet M other initial does own DR.
Er, maybe I was being paranoid, sorry (mm)
...
can you say paranoid?
!
are you being paranoid?
Frankly, I have found that there are patterns to the types of dictations I get throughout the day. Early morning, I get ER from overnight. Then I start getting the admit H&P's for the day, then by the end of the workday, I am getting all the DS for those who will be going home. Some of it is determined by TAT, some of it is determined by the doctors' schedules, some of it is determined by the likelihood that a certain report type will be dictated at a certain time of the day, and some of it is determined by the likelihood of what doctor dictates what kind of reports (for example, the attendings often dictate their own admissions, but often their residents dictate the DS). I don't know about you, but I can get a lot more lines from ER or the attending doing their own H&P than I can from any resident dictating a long-winded but short-lined DS (notorious paper flippers).
LOL, Some of you are so paranoid. If you
work for TT did you by any chance come from the Q, maybe that's why you sound paranoid.
You are so paranoid. If you don't like TT, why don't you

find another place to work? I'm getting tired of hearing you complain. Or is that your every day attitude?  No need to answer that. I'm not going to get in an argument with you. Not worth it.


 TT does their best for us and most of us are realists and know there are slow work times. You have to work around it. I'm very happy there. If you aren't happy, go somewhere else.


 


OMG - are you that paranoid?

The OP was willing to work for free to begin with.  If someone wanted to scam her, they wouldn't turn around and offer to pay her.  SHEEZSH--I think you're the one that needs to WHOA, HOLD ON! 


She's not being paranoid
She's being businesslike and realistic. If the OP has good credentials and the proper education, she (or he) should not have to work for free.
I don't want to be paranoid, but that would be
my guess too.
Sorry, but paranoid much?

I don't mean to come off really offensive, but to just assume that it's a company trying to bring you down is a little much.  Each server has its own address so it's very plausible that only one server was attacked.  It could also be that the server that crashed did not have good enough protection on it and the trojans got through the firewalls.  It could be a number of things.


To assume that it's a concerted attack from Big Brother because you have a couple hundred people talking about the idea of a union is a bit much.


 


WOW! Paranoid much?
You need to chill out. If any post should be reported it's this one, seems to me you are the one trying to stir things up.
Not as Paranoid as You Might Think..
I have wondered if people were shifted around and secondary accounts assigned based on employees becoming eligible for benefits and sign-on bonuses. I have no proof of such, but there's been some rather suspicious things done, i.e. assigning certain accounts as secondaries when they don't have enough work to support the primary MTs on the account, etc. It does make you wonder. Again, though, I can't say I have any substantial proof of that AT ALL and so it's pure conjecture on my part.
who's happy??? Not everyone thinks you are the cat's meow.

What a minute, one thinks it is fast
and another thinks it is slow and cumbersome.  I'm confused now.  Can you give details please.
What an idiot this person is. Thinks he has all

the answers and really doesn't have any of them.  He doesn't know who I am and cannot comment on anything about what transpired when I worked there. 


I have absolutely no reason to lie about my experience with SS.  It was a horrible place for lots of reasons and I'll tell anyone who asks about the company my experience to spare them the headache.  IF my QA scores were down (how could they be I was in QA), if I didn't stick to my schedule, etc. and got fired I would admit that also, but none of it happened - I QUIT and H did beg me to stay. I know it is hard with all his sliminess to believe he could beg, but beg he did.

Thank U. I was feeling quite paranoid! nm

Wow, that really sounds paranoid!!! nm

I'm paranoid about not being able to get my correct

Not paranoid, just careful
My friend, no one is paranoid. When someone claims 27 years of experience one might think they would know the basics, which would include something as notorious as TranSCAM. What bothered me was that anybody would post something about this scummy company that might lead some innocent newbie who (apparently like yourself) had not done her research. TranSCAM counts on this kind of gullibility. Please don't support it. If you do not know about a product or a company, please do not recommend it. It is called doing your due diligence. Have a pleasant day.
I hear you. I pay NO attention to how good someone thinks they are.
With all that wonderful experience, if you cannot pull the testing, you have just proven you don't know your own skill level.

I got a call the day I sent my resume and answers in. Maybe you the OP is not all that she thinks s
the positions that had open were not a good match for what she has done. I read her post a few times. It says that her skills do match the opening that she applied for, not that she was a bad Transcriptionist or anything like that. Their question sheet is pretty specific. If she was looking for hours that they did not have available or a type of account that they did not have openings for, that would explain it. At least she heard at all. I applied to at least a dozen companies, many mentioned here often as good or great companies, that never even acknowledged my application or resume. Each experience is obviously different.
Me thinks the 'lady' doth protest too much - nm

So what exactly IS your point, if any, besides the obvious pedantic and self-righteous diatribe?


Me thinks the lady doth protest too much

I do not know All Type or any of the people involved in this but it have been reading along because I am interviewing with them next week.  I was very upset by this and scared that I had made the wrong choice.  You have made a lot of statements and I was thinking that you were treated unfairly and that I hoped you proved your case in court and maybe make our place in the industry a little stronger.  We are the lowest people on the totem pole in every company and we do get kicked around a lot.  But you now sound like you had it in for one particular person at your company and have worked very hard to cause problems for that person.  I just do not know why you would stay there or even want to go back if you hate this person and she makes you this unhappy with your life and job and she singled you out to cut your pay so drastically.  I agree with the other poster who said you have wasted a great deal of time on this and that you should move on and find yourself a better job with a company that is a better fit for you.  I think you have gone too far and become far too emotional when you get this dangerously close to slander.

Sorry, that should be thinks…fingers too fast today

Call me paranoid, but I think this is management
Fishing around to see how many of their MTs are on this board - waiting for the emails wanting to know if the spaces thing is true.

On the other hand, maybe I'm not in the "special" group to get spaces, or maybe I'm on their list to be canned. Who knows?
This is not a racial post - are you paranoid! nm

I don't think you're paranoid at all. I live in NJ,
So glad you are doing this and am 100% behind you.  And remember, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after ya!! Bless you, Kurt!  Boy I can imagine the suits that do not want us to unify. Are you kidding? Our industry is a big $$ business to everyone but the MTs, and people have done anything, literally, for a buck.
Not necessarily paranoid conspiracy
Offshoring has not been without problems...recall several years ago a woman who was blackmailing I believe the hospital or company she worked for stating that she would post the reports on the internet if she wasn't paid a nice chunk of change. Someone else was holding the reports hostage. There were enough breaches of protocol/HIPPA (and some with a genuine desire to keep American jobs for Americans) that some hospitals would not hire companies that were not US. It doesn't take a lot of imagination that a company based in a country rife with corruption eager to get a large account might gather a stack of resumes to show an American account that these were the people who would be doing their work.

Paranoid or cynical, I'm not sure which; as to a conspiracy...heck, every business decision is a conspiracy; theory definitely, although I also postulated a stupidity theory and an innocent careless theory.
I know I'm a raging, flaming paranoid, but
do you get any sense that they can deliberately manipulate your work pool(s) so that you never quite reach $900 and grab the brass ring?  Seems to me it would not be difficult for management to do, either by over hiring or sending work overseas, or some other work flow tinkering.  That way they can keep the majority at PT status, and save a bunch of bucks on benefits (nice alliteration there - no?)
Sounding kinda paranoid.
Why are you so up in arms? Some of your comments sound like you're a caffeinated conspiracy theorist.

For instance, you think IC's billing statements will be scrutinized.

Uh, I have no problem with my bills being scrutinized. They are absolutely accurate and in keeping with my contract. Why would anybody be concerned unless they were trying to fudge the system, hmmmm?


As far as companies putting Spyware on ... pfffft. I go through a HIPPA compliance training session every year. Takes, what, 10 minutes? I sign the paper. Everybody's happy.

Mountain.

Molehill.

Learn to differentiate the difference and you'll be a much more relaxed person, IMO.
am I paranoid? (to current MDIers)
This talk about letting people go come January 1st is already worrisome, but tell me, have any of you sent a personal email to D lately and NOT gotten a reply? Just wonder if this is a clue I should be paying attention to.
There's only one way to find out if an employer thinks you'd be as suited for a return to this

.


Anyone who thinks it is "okay" and we should "accept" the way society is changing ...sm
is the reason why it is. The ones who just roll over and take it, should be ashamed for not having backbone and standing up to globalization for not standing up for themselves, our country, and our children and their children. This is the reason why we the whole people are losing control of our government and what they control, offshoring, loss of privacy, etc.
Yet, second company thinks it should work and not mess up other platform (sm)
I will feel better when the actual technician sees about loading it. Not that the recruiters don't know their job, just nervous.

I had others report they are using 1 computer for 2 different companies and maybe having to use a second pedal. Let's hope we are lucky.


Hafta laff -- SM thinks she's quite the master of sarcasm.

In case anyone thinks Escription is a good thing!!
This is just the beginning as more and more records are residing on the internet. And when you go into see your doctor, he is more concerned with making his laptop work and inputting info than he is listening to you. My friends are angry about this as they see it more and more. So EMR, internet, etc are more trouble than they are worth and we can only hope we go back to the way it used to be.
That poster thinks this has nothing to do with spirituality or domestic violence.
See below. She says we are in left field suggesting that. So, the words suck it up has nothing to do with how we treat other people or how we choose to be treated, that is just take the beating? Okay, well if I am in left field, and she has typed me in a psych note, I suppose I should suck that up too. Answering here because I wanted her to read above once again so that this poster can put 2 and 2 together, instead of calling me a nut. Thanks for listening.
Spoken like a true paranoid underachiever.
How ridiculous.

Not to sound paranoid, but I tend to agree.
They control the work pools and can make your day as easy or as hard as they like. Before I asked why I was being switched around all the time, the line count was at least achievable. Afterwards, perhaps as my punishment, it became even worse. All different account specifics, all parts of the country, thousands of different doctors. Finally gave up. I took my 6 years of acute care and went somewhere else.
