You might be right bout that.
I have been unhappy here for awhile now, hoping it will end. Maybe I'm just burned out and need a vacation.
How bout those Cubs?

that's what I am talkinga bout, let the sm
newbies do it, etc. etc. Everybody should be doing it! Its part of the doggone job! I too have worked when my kids were in the hopsital. I had one with chronic asthma in the hospital every two months for five years. Had to work, didn't have a choice. Need to get a new profession taht is not medical. The MTSOs don't owe you anything as far as accommodating your schedule with new equipment, etc. If you want to work this is the way it is. If not, then don't. Its your choice. Its not going to change. Believe me I don't like it either, but I have to have a paycheck so its this or train for something else.
How bout radiology accounts?

bout a year and a half ago
been awhile.
How bout taking it to YOU TUBE?
Now THAT would likely get you a response quick!
How bout something like USAType or TransUSA?

Well, how bout all of us that worked under these conditions
IC and asked to work a schedule and it is not in the contract we signed who have left these companies now report them to the IRS?  I think we would be helping out MTs in the future when some of these companies don't seem to want to play fairly.  I worked under these conditions (IC with a strict schedule) 2 years ago and did it cuz I needed the job.  Ain't there anymore so think I will report them now and maybe this will let the MTSO deal with the ole IRS.  They know they are not complying and most companies know they can get around paying overtime too because of the way we are paid.  Some have gotten caught on that one but not enough.  Its just not right or fair and they keep doing it don't care.  We need to take a stand and be treated more fairly as MTs.  I got nothin to lose reporting my previous company to the IRS and am gonna do it. 
I am no longer gonna say nutin' bout them.

As a nod to show my displeasure in certain actions I have witnessed, I will no longer say nutin' about them.  It is just a place for me to earn a paycheck now and certainly no sense of pride is held by me any longer.  I know I am also being watched here as well and refuse to change my handle to anon or anything gay like that. 


Shame, shame, shame and they know why. 


If all true, I forecast a bout of burnout in the near
xx
Sorry bout last post, Guess I will slow down.

The beginning just doesn't even make sense.  Meant to go back and delete and proof - sorry.  That darn post reply button was just too handy;-)  Back to work gals. 


Sorry for the confusion
I don't work for FN.  Just thought they were asking about what rad MTs make in general.  I work for a hospital, and no we are never out of work, but if that were to ever be the case, we would make our downtime rate.
There seems to be name confusion. Does TTS
stand for something?
Name confusion
There is definitely some name confusion going on here. TT and TTS are two different companies. I think a lot of people are getting the two confused. TT as far as I have heard is a great company to work for. TTS is the one to run far far away from.
There seems to be a lot of confusion there. SM
At least, more so than usual and many of us have a sick feeling that something is going to happen and it will not be good.

I would not encourage anyone to join the company, at this point. This uneasiness may be going on at other companies, it may be sign of the times concerning MT, but it is very strong at Spheris.
confusion
In the next few months, when I move, I may switch from working in hospital setting to working at home. I have been doing Radiology, Radiation therapy, EEG's for 16 years. Questions: what are the acute care four basics, and could radiology be one of them? Also, at hospitals we go by minutes. Unsure of how much I type that would be judged by lines.  Any people here, or companies, strictly Radiology?
SPI confusion
How do they announce these things to employees? I've been with them 1-1/2 years and the branch I work for never seems to be affected by all the turmoil I hear about. I know there was a managers' conference in Nashville a couple of weeks ago but my supervisor has not sent out any layoff announcements or other bad news thus far. If you get laid off officially, can you qualify for unemployment? Thanks.
SPI confusion
The only email I got last week was one advising that we'd all be paid on the same Fridays, instead of some MTs being paid on the alternate Fridays, and how to make the switch regarding our production sheets. SPI is also running 2 ads in Advance magazine for new MTs. The hiring versus layoffs issue is confusing to me!
Confusion
The tech left me 2 messages as well, but I was not here. I was going to take the job, but I could not touch base. Then, the new recruiter (they just changed their HR department) contacted me and we worked things out. She e mailed me all the forms, which maybe you need now. If you want the job, just go ahead and call and ask for the new recruiter.. I am sure they will put you through. Good Luck, it will all work out!
No - it was not yours. Sorry for the confusion.
Must have been deleted. Sorry for the confusion, it does look like I was talking to you, but I wasn't ;-)
Sorry for confusion!
I worked for KS at home on Son's XP because the account (acute care not radiology) required it as Vista was not compatible. It was a Clinic in Ohio. Since I'm in the office at a major hospital I cannot work FT for KS.
Bout ready to take this computer to the pawn shop
and cancel the internet - then find a real job again that pays hourly, has a sane schedule, gives me a yearly raise and a paid vacation.  Get paid if there is work and don't have to hear We don't pay for downtime.  Not kidding either.   Might enjoy socializing a bit again too. 
MQ packet confusion
I also live in NE and I have not received my PACKET let alone the pre-packet phone call. What is going on here?
Confusion..TT/exText???sm
Now it seems there are a lot of good postings regarding TT..but what is this about the deduction for headers/footers? Is that a TT thing. I have applied to TT (not heard back yet) but I have never seen a co. deduct for head/footers....this seems quite unreasonable...it should either be included in the count or not...now I'm scared. Please clear this up if you can.
My bad - not Allstate - sorry for confusion.
I'm breaking my fingers now, lol.
Correction - sorry for confusion
I apologize for not checking this before -- I just found a problem with my suggestion, so here's the deal:

You are better off forcing the format - as you did to h:mm:ss (or hh:mm:ss), to ensure that all cells display consistently. This does force you to have to enter more digits for hours though.

There is a shortcut for entering data -- for 00:05:12 (5 minutes, 12 seconds), you can type: 0:5:12

For 00:05:01 you can type 0:5:1

This may be more foreign than just adding the extra leading zero, but if you're hyper about cutting every keystroke, you can....

Then when you add down a column, there's nothing special to do in the sum.

Sorry for any confusion.
Not confusion to me - I like the variety

No confusion to those of us that actually read the post!
Thanks for clarification :-)
New to Transcend, holiday confusion. sm
Am I expected to either work Thanksgiving or Christmas and do not automatically get these holidays off?  I am not able to get the lines to qualify for PTO, and so do not care about not getting holiday pay, but I am now wondering whether I even get these 2 holidays off.  TIA! 
there are a couple of recent posts on the main board, bout halfway down...
Also check the archives, you could do much better for yourself...
I would leave MQ off, there has been a big change in the last few months. Too much confusion. nm

Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.
