You put it in all caps. You need to calm down. Caps means yelling.

    to 4vrtpng re CAPS OR NO CAPS

    from post below re MDI/bayscribe:  Bless you for taking the time to post this tip -- wow -- it works and i am so thankful to know it now :)   


    please don't write in all caps
    nm
    Well since we're now not all in caps...

    What I did was type in *RX Transcription MTstars* in regular good ole Google and came up with the link to give you.


    I know there's a bunch of posts about people checking archives, but there are different ways to check.


    I can't help any further than that about this particular company because as far as some posters are concerned unless you've worked for a company for some extensive period of time, there's no sense in posting as it's worthless.  What a shame, but I'm about ready to only look at this job board and that's it. 


    I try to post when I can what I know and I get bashed...  so I'm glad I could help you at least with that much and maybe someone who has worked there an extensive amount of time and knows all of the ins and outs will post since posts regarding anything other than that are not helpful!  


    Didn't mean to yell in caps
    Didn't mean to yell in caps lol
    Are you aware that all CAPS is shouting? nm
    x
    All caps is referred to as shouting. Yes, I know of them...
    I don't know about now, but a few years ago I worked for them and had a negative experience. 
    Please quit shouting. Turn off caps! nm
    x
    If I was offered .01 cpl, I'd have no problem giving the co. name in CAPS! nm

    You are wrong! Here is the ad. I got it too. There are no words spelled wrong and the caps are pa
    This is pasted from the bottom of the email blast.

    Why are you trying to stir up trouble? Keystrokes does not send ANYTHING offshore.

    Here is the email blast from ILHIMA. The KS logo is at the top but does not paste here:

    You really need to quit yelling!! (nm)
    Oh my!
    Your previous posts with yelling(& in mind's eye
    x
    You dont think the yelling of MRMT in a post above
    x
    Well, that tells us nothing, Care to elaborate w/o yelling? SM
    I worked on it for radiology and it was wonderful.

    how childish.



    Again, YOUR mind set reads me as yelling. I post
    childhood that you see everything as criticizm and yelling.  That is not my mind set when I am posting.  I am posting with the voice of urgency so not another day is wasted.  If you want to read me as kicking others when down, criticizing, yelling, acting superior that is on you, not as I intended. 
    Quit yelling. Don't assume they haven't asked. nm

    it was pretty calm
    for a while, but it was like everything went nuts today for some reason. Then I remembered it's Fri. the 13th and the moon's full. Maybe there's something to that luna tic stuff.
    Okay, now calm down, it's okay. I see a hand too sm
    when I have the message open, then scroll down to see the list, it is pointing to the one I have open. Do they have rooms with a view there?
    OK, everybody calm down. Anybody can have an off day once in awhile.
    nm.
    Happy: Please calm down.
    xxxx
    you reall need to calm down..
    sometimes people sense that and ignore.
    Calm down. It's easy. I know the pay isn't fun,
    xx
    Calm down, Webbers. This isn't SM
    the pay cut you're imagining because you didn't listen to the message. I've been through this before at another MTSO.

    It's actually good news in that moving to a more efficient platform means management is working to save our jobs in a very competitive, unstable market by increasing our output, and thus our value to the hospitals.

    My prior MTSO changed my accounts from transcription to VR eScription, a platform challenging others with its efficiencies. At first average line counts shot up dramatically, and so did the initial paychecks--definitely happy time for fast learners. As everyone learned the platform, the line rate was adjusted to market rates--i.e., what a company has to pay to get skilled editors. If it hadn't been adjusted, people who had been making $30-60K would have been making many thousands more for the same work.

    Now, why I'm at Webmedx these days: My primary account also insisted on offshoring or paying only offshore rates. That MTSO didn't do conferences and webinars, though, but instead kept us completely in the dark about what was happening. There came months of evasions, deceptions, outright lies to direct questions, disappearing work--and further pay cuts--until the day we were finally told the truth and offered a chance to move to other accounts.

    Also, unlike WMX, that MTSO had already done extensive offshoring. Since WMX has been keeping its work here all along, I see no reason to doubt their sincerity when they say they will continue to try to do so. I also feel WMX has been as honest with me as I can reasonably expect from a corporation in today's culture.

    BTW, let's please keep discourse to a more professional and dignified level. For my part, my relationship with an MTSO is a mutually profitable business one in the employer-employee form. They need the skills I have, and I sell this client my technical expertise, knowledge, judgment, and time. Rude and foolish messages to my client do not speak for me.

    Best wishes.
    Huh?? I was just thinking how calm the boards had
    nm
    Just wanted to say, that was a nice calm
    and thorough review of a company, no huge emotions, you presented the positives and a negative, didn't ridicule anyone who might have problems, and offered a kind bit of help if needed.  If only everyone posted responses like your's, we'd all have a better picture of our potential employers. Just wanted to say thanks for this thoughtful answer.  I really mean that.
    My post was calm as well and meant to
    are looking at the big picture and trying to be proactive in all arenas of life.  I will handle my hatred/anger in my own way and at least am healthy enough to recognize that I feel it. Hatred is a valid emotion - it's what you do with the hatred that makes it ugly versus productive.  To date, I have not honestly met an Indian phone rep who has been able to help me efficiently.  Some have seemed to grasp my needs, only for me to hang up and find out later they were clueless to my situation.  Yes, Indians do understand and are quite accepting when I explain that I wish to speak to a US worker.The US workers always ALWAYS thank me for asking for them, as it does help them with job security. Again, I said I do it in a friendly and kind manner - if the truth hurts the Indian worker, that is not my fault. And yes, if all of us did that every day, you would quickly see the Indian call service centers crumble.  That will happen a lot faster than trying to lobby politically or contact my congressman! That's a waste of time - been there, done that. You choose your plan of action and I choose mine. So far, mine is working for me.  I found a great job with a great company and I can sleep a bit better at night knowing that I am taking a stand, albeit a friendly one, for our country and our workers, our families.  You pointed out something, as did I.
    The calm happy MTs you speak of

    But that's OK.  You'll find out how professionally perfect you feel when your wages are cut, your platform is turned inside out and upside down, your primary account is leaving and you are only informed of it the day they go, you have no work, and you're expected to be grateful to still have a job.  Then you can come here crying about it and find a clone of yourself to tell you its you're own fault and you're probably incompetent, and sneer at you for having victim mentality to rub salt in your wounds.


    Clients and MTSOs consider us faceless nobodys, and have better things to do than read this board.  They frankly don't care what we say, good or bad.  All we have to talk to is one another.


    I love ExText...calm down..it'll be okay
    ExText is extremely easy. You've got your demographics screen...easy...and then you're in your document.  You know what's great about ExText? It's so easy to search for past reports by provider, by patient, by MT.  It's very straight forward and a very easy system to learn in my opinion.  You get past the demo screen, finish the document, ctrl-N, it spellchecks, you're done. Voila!
    Wow....calm down. She simply stated it wrong..
    All you have to do is say don't you mean...

    Take a Xanax lately? Just a thought.
    Where is the flame. It was only stated that you had incorrect info. Calm down a little
    We can see you dont like the company but there are those that do like it.

    We can state our opinions as well.

    No one was flaming you.
    George says what he means or is it he means what he
    but he sure does apologize in a way I've never heard a person whose company is valued at $8m a year apologize before and I've worked for companies who played who is the president of the week game! All I can say is that his personal interview about his high school reunion has a distinctly different style than his late January postings in which he degrenates the poster he tries to engage. Just remember George's quote we are misinformed.
    What it means to me?
    As an employee of Heartland, what my understanding is of what that means to me....I am still an employee, and more than likely the purchasing company will need me just like Heartland needs me now. Waiting for the conference calls to hear more information.
    It means
    That SoftScript screws everyone who has a brain between their ears.  The "newbies", and no offense intended, run the company because that is all they have because anyone with any experience has LEFT and rightly so.  They take your lines, make you think you are insane, have you work 24-7 to get a decent pay, and god bless if it is on time, which it actually has been x2 since they have been bashed on this board.  THAT IS WHAT ALL THIS MEANS.  The management is the worst, QA the worst, and lies beyond belief.  That is what all this means.  DUH.
    It means they need it right now!
    What stat. means to you as a Transcriptionist is that the turnaround needs to be fast! It would be identified in your accounts specs or your contract or whatever what the turnaround is.  Maybe it is an hour, maybe 2 hours, maybe 4 hours after it is dictated.  Whatever it is, it means that they need it back quickly. It has priority over anything else.
    what does this means?

    Im a newbie MT and trying to find a job.  I would like to ask what does this means as for compensation?  Is this good? 


    Compensation Information: Subcontract, 9 cents for 65 keystrokes


    what does this MEANS....
    xx
    Yes, I think that is what it means. Not sure why they don't just say so LOL.
    x
    It means there is no more. nm
    x
    So that means
    You can thank the politicians in DC (both parties) for passing NAFTA and giving us the SHAFTA...
    What do you think this means?
    I'm wondering what this new COO means for us down here typing away in the trenches.  Does anybody know anything about him? 
    for now usually means

    until we get all our people making half what you do trained, then  . .  . .


     


    SE means
    statutory employee. Like an IC (independent contractor) you pay your own taxes, set your own schedule, etc, but as an SE, the employer pays part of the SS taxes. No benefits come with either IC or SE positions, other than freedom.
    Thank you all, that means a lot to me
    :)
    exactly, which means
    if you are going to claim yourself 100%, you need to present it also. Talk is so cheap.
    OT for some means OOW for others

    I normally work 3-11 pm.  I come on and look at my email.  The boss approved OT early this AM because we were out of TAT; by the time I punch in we're within an hour of dictation, BUT SHE LEAVES APPROVED OT UP THERE, and by 8 pm I'm OOW because all the day people got the OT (and are still on there wanting more) and I'm lucky if I get my 8 hours working secondaries putting in a 10 hour day.


    How so? If they are IC, and know what that means,
    x
    OK, that means no. I'm sure if the SM

    money was in your account right now, you'd be posting it all over the boards about how you were right.


    My pay was in the bank on the day it was supposed to be-I wish yours had been also.


    I'm not sure exactly what this all means
    but I'll see what happens if i still decide to send my resume. Thanks for the information.
    By all means, when you having nothing
    proclaim yourself in charge of mtstars QA, fondle that typing police baton for a moment or two, then launch into full-blown attack mode and WHUP UP. FOP.
    I would like to know what it means
    NM
    Know what IM means, but what do they
    nm
    I don't think that is what she means
    I think (and I could be wrong) her hospital was bought by CHS and she was an in-house employee. She and her co-workers have to be trained as if they were new hires to Spheris.  They will go through a 90-day probation period as would any other new-hires.  The Spheris Specials Team will be covering her hospital's acounts while she and her co-workers are being trained.  Somewhere on here it was discussed that CHS or whatever their name is was out-sourcing their work to Spheris and it involved the hospital employees being transitioned at their current pay scale but then it could go down to the Spheris pay scale.  She's not training anyone with samples, etc.
