Sweet Pete Bayou MT. Part of your responsibility as an MT
Posted By: TTworkerbee on 2008-09-17
In Reply to: NO, IT'S YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS MTs..sm - Bayou MT
is to look up unfamiliar terminology, doctor's names, etc. and MAKE A NOTE OF IT, so you don't have to look it up again. All I can say is good luck with your career as an MT.

MT responsibility versus Supervisor's responsibility
I was hired in to work on an account and have met my 12,000 lines per pay period well before my 3 month deadline,however, I am being hounded daily by my supervisor. My supervisor is a male and is very intimidating. He is constantly emailing me saying I am not doing enough and I am lagging behind and If I could just do a little bit more each day because he do not want to mess up with this account.
My question is if I am doing 12,000 per pay and the account is still lagging behind, is it not the responsibility of the supervisor to hire someone else on this account and am I responsible in some way for not producing more?
Thanks,
TO: Bayou MT
AMEN TO THAT SISTA'!!!. I know that is all I ever wanted - to be compensated FAIRLY for my labor and not paid like a MT in India. 
Bayou, why don't you read more carefully. I was correcting my OWN typo ! WOW !
Get a life !
Oh for Pete's sake. If you are a TH MT, you know
they do not offshore. Some of their accts are on the border which is why the email is that way. TH does not offshore in any way. One of the few left that does not.
Oh, for Pete's sake

Thank you very much For the Love of Pete
I suspect you make pretty good money yourself!!!
Don't know if I'll make money painting gourds, it's just fun. It seems to be the newest craft craze on the West Coast. I stumbled into that by accident. When I found out gourds sell for $7.50 to $100 when they are harvested, you can bet I'll be planting a gourd patch next year!!! I'm a farmer's daughter and have plenty of room. I know gourds are easy to grow.
Oh for Pete's sake
It wasn't a dig. Simply a statement because I didn't take her email the way others implied it should have been taken. There were multiple posts by people earlier about MDI going the way of MQ and making all kinds of other statements to damage the company. I was at MQ when that ship started to sink and have seen nothing remotely close to that here. And as far as having compassion for someone with no work, apparently you didn't read all of my post or you would have read that I do understand what they are going through. I went through the same thing, not for a few weeks like the OP, but for 3 months at MQ and it probably would have been longer had I not decided to finally bail out of that mess. So before you decide to judge me or pretend to know what I think or feel, try reading all of my posts. Actually, don't. I'm sure you will just find some other reason to rag on me because I'm not having a horrible time with my company at the moment. To sum up all of my posts: To the OP down below, I'm sorry for your situation, but no, I'm not experiencing the same thing. To the other posters talking about management as if they are in it, unless you actually are in management and can say something factual, shut up. Regarding the message from Carlotta, all I got from that was take your issues up with management instead of hashing them out on a public forum. And to the snot I'm replying to......WHATEVAH!
oh for Pete's sake!!
they did use Transcriptionist in the body of the ad. Why all the assumptions here anyway. Do they pay on time? Are there any real problems here?
Oh, Fer Pete's Sake!
She quit her job because she was upset about the use of the word NEED??? For all we know, the person who phrased it in a less than acceptable way was not accustomed to handling bereavement requests - I'd have cut him/her a little slack. I'd have taken that opportunity to *educate* the HR person how to handle future requests with a little more tact, not bit his/her head off and complained all the way to the top of the food chain.
And how is the HR person supposed to know what kind of relationship the OP had with her father? or how emotionally upset the OP was or wasn't?
Bottom line, the OP is out of a job and the rest of the company is going on just fine without her. I think that's called shooting oneself in the foot... all for one little word: NEED. sheesh.
Charts in Time in St. Pete, FL
pays shift/weekend differential and a good line rate additionally..
For the love of Pete -- She worked
for Transtech. See the post near the bottom of the page by Happy Clam. It's all there.
I wouldn't have remembered but for the fact that I never knew gourd painting was that popular. Have fun Gourd Painter!
Because I know it is my responsibility to help out as well. sm
People still get sick on weekends. If doctors and nurses took your attitude, I guess the hospitals would just shut their doors on the weekends and sick people can just wait until Monday. I grew up in the medical field, so I realize that working weekends is just part of the deal. Working at home, it is not such a big deal anyway. It is not like the old days, getting up and putting on the heels and hose and commuting across town. And I get a weekend differential, so that helps a little bit.
I hope you are working for a clinic and not shuffling the burden of the weekend work solely to your coworkers. That just seems selfish, IMO.
And you have yet to take responsibility
for backing TranSCAM. I am far from bitter. I have a great job which I love. Because I love this profession so much, I am not going to lead others down the primrose path with nonsense like TranSCAM. How about taking some responsibility?
TAT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY..sm
Although we usually hear about it when the poop is about to hit the fan. TAT is pretty much out of our hands...we don't distribute the work... all we can do is transcribe it in a timely manner once we receive the job. It's THEIR show, baby, although everyone does try to pass the buck to the MTs.
What I can't believe is the lack of responsibility smg
people take for their jobs, hours and work in general. I work with people who apparently are their sole mode of transportation for their family and they just breeze in and out at will after taking grandpa, grandma, wife, children to all of their assorted appointments. Then, THEY have their own personal appointments or medical problems that must be worked around. The only thing they seem to be on time for is their paycheck.
Then you definitely have a responsibility to report
these incidents. That is theft. They are stealing money from your company by getting paid for hours not worked. I don't think I would even grant them the courtesy of telling them that you're reporting them. They obvioulsy know what they are doing is wrong, not to mention illegal, and they don't seem to care. They've picked you as a patsy and you need to stand up for yourself. Forward the next IM you get from them. I would not forward your supervisor any of the previous ones, but keep them just in case. Your supervisor may not be too happy with you for not saying something sooner. If you continue to let them do this, you're just as guilty as them.
It is not the MTs responsibility to FIND sm
the work. Either the owner or a supervisor should be informing the MT that there are other accts to type and facilitate typing on those accounts.
Not bragging, for pete's sake. The OP asked about if we run out of work or not. I do not. We a

Not my responsibility to develop their country
It stands to reason if they built their own hospitals, which they could easily staff with all the Indian ESL dictators we currently struggle with (while we hand them the moneymaking easy ones on a silver platter), they then could do their own transcription for their own healthcare providers. Why the heck won't big business invest in building them some of their own hospitals? Because this is about profit, NOT altrusim for our fellow man!
Maybe you're going to retire in a couple of years, so you don't really care about the future of this industry. But if not, when you lose your current job to outsourcing, will you still deny there's a problem? Or will you take another job for less pay, again and again, until the industry completely leaves this country - then will you realize there's a problem? When you are forced out of this industry, and find the competition for other types of work is harder than it used to be, will you see a problem then?
Its not just this industry being outsourced. I grew up in Michigan! Its turning into a ghost state due to loss of jobs to outsourcing. That's an example of an entire state being affected, and its only one of many in the rust belt. But I guess you don't know anybody there, so you'd rather sympathize with someone halfway across the world. It is not ok to undevelop our country in order to develop others. Maybe when our homeless shelters overflow and our streets are full of beggars, and every undeveloped company has cable TV and McDonalds on every corner, we'll quit being in denial at what we are allowing to happen under our very noses. But by then it'll be too late for us to reverse this trend of trying to raise the rest of the world's standards at the expense of our own.
My state has it writtin in their code whose responsibility it is. It is the employer.
I just refused to do it as an employee. After the second year and my written explanation of why I did not do it (being as the employer refused), they sent me back a refund of late fees and told me that they had found many employees in Virginia with the employer I am speaking of and would be going after the company in question. How long it takes them is another story. I hope they get them because they deserve it.
It might not be the law in every state, but it is in mine. It is clear and on their books. I provided the company with that law and they paid no attention.
A good employer will follow the law and have state tax laws in place. I have never had a problem with any other employer from that state, just them.
Doesn't matter. That's no excuse for their lack of responsibility
for something so important. One or more states will get them sooner or later and it will bite THEM right where they need for it to bite. They know the law and it is their choice not to do the proper thing and because it is, they will have to pay at some point.
I am not familiar with this company, but your post showed so much ownership and responsibility, so v

That is so sweet of you to say. Thank you!
Amphion rocks. I will always say that:)
Sweet - Thanks !!!! NM

That is so sweet - thank you! sm
I still like to have Christmas off with my two, who are 11 and 8 and that is so kind and thoughtful of you to think of it the way that you do!! I hope you have wonderful holidays yourself!
That's so sweet!
In the meantime, this month a relative gave me some 'fall-back' money to put in my anemic, terminally-ill little bank account.
In the meantime, I'm still looking for something that pays a little more realistically than MT. This business is a total disgrace, isn't it?
short and sweet is the way to go (sm)
I would not offer a lot of details. People leave jobs all the time, they are used to it. Be professional and polite. Keep it simple is my advice.
How sweet for you to be so enamoured with me! :)

such a sweet bust!

Sweet recruiter
... Way to go!!! You have my vote!! Who do you work for?
Bet your sweet a** the AC won't get it back in TAT
.
What a sweet post :-)
Thank you for your kind words, Irish. May you and your loved ones have a blessed and healthy 2009! :-)
short and sweet
They stink. They send a ton to offshore. They rip off the MT. They buy up small companies and then change all the rules eventually to be uniform with Transcend policies. Just my opinion.
.09/.057 would be sweet, wouldn't it? i'd take that...
but not .04 for VR
she's sweet as pie then spits like a cobra. RUN FAR AWAY.

meant sweet not sweek

Yes, isn't that sweet? I feel all cozy now.....nm

Don't fall for the sweet talk.
The recruiter is the sweetest person in the world when trying to sucker you in, but will bite you in the back like a viper after a while. The honeymoon phase was wonderful, but then they started changing all the terms that I had agreed to one by one, including a cut in pay. She got really mean and nasty towards then end and I just quit. I didn't need to be treated like that.
a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
And an MT is now a *clerk,* according to the posting on the job board. I'd like to apply for Head Cluck when it becomes available. Then you've got your Lead Cluck, and your Editor Cluck, QA Cluck, Cluck Manager, VP of Cluckdom, Supercluck, CEC and CFC (Chief Executive Cluck, and Chief Financial Cluck) and we all work for Clucks-R-Us. 
Is breaking the law okay if it is a sweet deal? (nm)
I found a sweet job close to my home. sm
I am trying to work outside of my home. I enjoyed my first day and I have my fingers crossed that it will work out. It is not transcription though. It is copy typing and I hope I can become good at it and fast. I hate creeping along at a snail's pace. I'm just used to flying on the keyboard. Good luck everyone.
She's a sweet lady. She has a lot of experience and a lot of stories that go with it.
I like her a lot, but I can kind of see where you are coming from, as whenever I've spoken with her I could pretty much write off the next 60-90 minutes. It was a great time to clean out email, though! (And if you are reading this, you-know-who, it's not a criticism but rather an acknowledgement that you have a LOT of stories to tell!)
Sweet...sounds like when I was in paramedic school
Blood drawing and vitals. I did all that in paramedic school. My MT training a few years ago was much more boring LOL.
I once served frozen yogurt to Sandy Koufax. He was very sweet.
..
TT talks sweet, but I have never desired even a store clerk to call me sweetie . . . those niceties
have never impressed me unless they come from my husband/lover.
Agree..with IC status, equip. is your responsibility; employee status - you should SM
not have to pay out-of-pocket for use of their equipment. I would never work employee status for a company who required me to purchase or lease their equipment. The only thing I would find acceptable is to have a small security deposit taken out of paycheck when starting with a company. This will protect the company from those few who might abuse the equipment.
OH - I thought part transcription, part escription, but don't know for sure
nm
They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
There is a part-time and a flexible part-time, just left there and they offered
me both. Flexible, however, is more or less when they need you (I.e. weekends), part-time is fixed hours.
Yes I know they hire part time because I referred someone there for part time.
They are internet based.
