Reading comprehension D-

You do have a reading comprehension problem.
The topic of the thread that I was posting on was not to bash your precious company, nor was it about tarot cards, nor am I raving about my company. You need to stick with the subject, and not let your anger/hate blur your mind and vision. Again, your about-face evil personality change just supports our skepticism about the picture you paint - you are damaging your own credibility. And, NO, I have no interest in working with you! So not to worry.
My reading comprehension is just fine thank you.
the same.  Write on behalf of yourself in order to help boost AHDI's standing.  It's all related to the upcoming requirement for electronic medical records, not the transcriptionist's job.  Get out much? 
Reading comprehension people. It's part of the job.

My reply to the above was in response to the fact that we don't see physicians rushing through work and effecting the quality of patients.  I disagreed.  Stop reading what you want into it and calling mine spin. 


Obvious lack of reading comprehension (no surprise there)
I am not management. I do VR; the term 'these people' refers to those who refuse to even CONSIDER doing VR and would rather jump ship than learn.

Honestly, I wish EVERY account at TT would go to VR to weed out all of those who can't comprehend a simple post. I'm not surprised so many of resist doing VR; the lack of reading comprehension which is vital to VR is obviously missing in many of you.

Sheesh, now I know what my dad meant when he'd refer to someone being 'stubborn as a mule' or 'head as thick as a rock', lol!
That's a $42 a day per diem on TOP OF SALARY ... reading comprehension, people.
Not every offer on the job board is suspect. Chill.

My bet is that it's a really good deal, and if I lived in the PNW, I would look into it (I'd love to live in Alaska for a minute).

I had a pharmacist friend who was looking into going up there and working for a year or two - just the sign-on bonuses alone were $100,000.

Alaska, though, is known for it's crazy, antisocial population.

Sounds perfect for transcriptionists. Heh.
typos are one thing (inadvertent), but poor grammar is a poor reflection and demonstrates lack..
of knowledge. In this profession, if you lack proper grammar knowledge, you should expect to receive comments from those MTs who take pride in producing top quality work. Just my opinion, but I think it is quite embarrassing to see inproper use of the english command from those who profess to be MTs. There's a difference between typing a message here and having a slip of the finger and just not knowing proper word forms and spelling. I see grammer quite often, dependible etc. I truly do no believe these are simple typos, sorry.
Do you have a comprehension problem?
I have my own accounts and I have gotten them ALL by word of mouth.  Everyone is always open to BETTERING their situation.  My own accounts can be very stressful and demanding at times.  I have looked at nationals as an alternative.  I have worked for one part time for many years.  If I hear of a good company, I will apply to see what I am offered, and if it is better than I have already.  So far it has not been.  I applied with DSG.  After what I have seen on this board the last 2 days, I am abundantly happy that they did not call me back.  I doubt they'd have been able to match or exceed what I am getting already, but I thought I'd see.  I wasn't desperately waiting to hear from them; I really didn't care.  I have a very good deal the way it is.  After what I've seen here, I would NEVER work for DSG, no matter what they offered.
READ for comprehension
I said I have not heard of editors getting a pay raise for CMT. I didn't say lines!
Did not burn bridge, was well liked.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Bridge Documents

I worked for them off and on for the last 3 years.  They are a very good company to work for.  You commit to how many lines you are going to type each day and what time of day you plan to type them.  In turn, they ask that you do only the lines you have committed to, work during the time that you say you are going to work, and you usually can count on having the work there each day to make your line commitment.  By the same token, they require that you type the lines that you have committed to, log in during the time of day you have committed to, which I think is not unreasonable by any means as they do not overstaff which allows you to have the work you need.


All in all, they do not overstaff, you can count on stable work, they are always available to help you, pay is on time (direct deposit every 2 weeks) - never had a late paycheck, and they treat you like family.  In this industry, that is hard to find.


looking for Old Bridge Medquist address
Does anyone have the address and phone number for the Old Bridge, NJ office of Medquist?
I have a bridge in San Francisco I think you'd be interested in.
lol
If you believe the answers below, I have a bridge to sell you.
VR produces a big mess & it takes a lot of time to correct it all. I'd hate to see an audit on those flying through it at full speed, and I'd hate to be the patient depending on a quality report.
If your physician jumped off a bridge...
would you jump right behind him? The bottom line is that the only person you can control is yourself. If a physician is not performing his job correctly, guess what? He will eventually lose his license. Why do you continue to try and justify punishing patients simply because people do not want to do their jobs correctly? However you spin it, it's still wrong.
oh my gosh build a bridge and get over it

ended it
If you don't think you are selling yourself cheap then what business is it of anyone else to tell you? Not mine. If you are happy with what you make that is all that matters. I understand.
But it sounds like you have benefits that would amount to a lot of money. That means a lot. Health ins. for less than $100 per month. That is worth so much. Keep bragging and letting me know how great Transtech is because you are letting me know that yes there are good MT jobs out there. That gives me hope to know there are good companies.
Yeah you troll. Get back under the bridge.

I have a bridge to sale you? I guess its karma...

ended up almost 2400
So what?  You are a critical person.  So what?  Just because my post may be sloppy due to trying to hurry doesn't mean I am a bad transcriptionist.  However, your nasty post speaks volumes about what kind of person you are. 
Can I ask..where you ended up?? Any other suggestions out there.

Boy, it's almost impossible to find a decent company these days..


I ended up at Transtech...sm
I am considered a rehire, so if I ever wanted to I could go back to MW, but don't see that happen, at least not at this time.
How ironic!! Game just ended. Sox won.

I did, too, but I ended up working for YOG until the Squid ate it. nm

right; and I did not quit my old job, ended up staying with my old job.

Is anyone familiar with Bridge Documents that has a job posting? Any info would be appreciated. TIA

Wanted to say thanks for all your back and forth here. I ended up with several resumes looking for
I guess if you slam a company on here, everyone already knows you are a disgruntled ex-employee with no skills and know that there are openings available. I appreciate as we have so many new accounts coming in and just starting. I really needed the extra ICs. WOW This is awesome!!
Mine ended at the end of the month, then COBRA took over. nm

Every 2 weeks on Monday. Pay period ended
 this past Sunday and I will get paid next Monday, 11/12. 
Who would offer such a rate if they actually ended on paying anyone that or the accounts are....
probably awful, all ESL or something. No one pays 11 cpl these days so I figured there was a catch.
You must be psychic. I just ended up going on Ebay today and bought a Dell with Windows XP on it.
I originally went through Dell directly but they charged $400 more for the same computer because they were customizing it with Windows XP as now all the computer came standard with Vista. Apparently not so customized..haha.. better deals on Ebay.. I LOVE EBAY..
I wasn't there long enough, put in a 2-week notice but ended up leaving early, footpedal and last

Poor me?? Really now!
I have seen only one post that you could possibly misconstrue as a "poor me" attitude, and that was from a very close friend of mine who lost her home to a hurricane. She wanted me to go to work for OSi because she thought they had been very considerate of her circumstances (plus she wanted the referral bonus). I will say right now that she is THE strongest woman I know. She does not kiss butt at work or here on this board. She told the truth about her experience with the company. She has not said a word about anything other than OSi's support. She has never met any of the managers and does not participate in garbage gossip of any type on either "side." Does she gush over OSi all the time? No, absolutely not, but she voices her concerns and opinions with them, not on a public board, particularly in order to humiliate another person. I am highly offended that she has been attacked without cause. I used to work with her at a local hospital, and she is a joy to be around and doesn't go around with a hang dog "poor me" demeanor. There is never a dull moment because you never know what she is going to say next. "Poor me" - you don't even know who or what you are talking about. It is time to write something productive on this board instead of jamming it with bulls**t.
Yes, they do, but very poor IT

Some poor MT will take it though.
That's pretty bad.
LOL!!! Poor pud! ....nm

Poor pay

I got paid per line during QA but had to submit 10 reports at a time for review and then had to wait around for approval of each set before I was allowed to type again.  Sometimes I was idle for 1 to 1-1/2 hours after each set waiting for the go ahead.  Needless to say, I lost a lot of money that way. 


Not OP either. Just another poor

sap who hired on.  I think the statement is correct in that they only do overflow work, too. The account I was on was behind on discharge summaries for 15 days. 


 


 


It's too bad that you have had such a poor experience - sm

I have never worked for another national so I have had nothing to compare Transcend to but I am happy with my choice and I am not a newbie.


The size of the company is comfortable and the people I work with are great. If I were truly being a cheerleader for the company, I would post my name too.  I'm not trying to recruit anyone. I just stated my own personal opinion based on my experience and was curious to know how you came to yours since you posted it.


I just don't understand why the negative posters have to be so nasty.  If I was unhappy with a company, I would say why but not bash.  That's not my style and I think its playing dirty.


Have I always been happy with them?  No.  There have been times when I wanted to just give it up but I didn't. I saw it through and have been glad I did every time.


It's my fit though.  It obviously wasn't a good fit for you and that's fine too. 


 


poor management
I think someone should write a letter to the corporate office, they really have bad management at MQ, all over the board!
They offshore, they lie to you, very poor
communication, some very difficult acounts, and pay is so-so. 
They are a very poor company - NM

Poor dictations
Many companies seem to be going to voice recognition. The only reports they have to send to us, then, are the poor dictators, the ESL's, etc. Time for a new career.
My experience was poor
No one should take anonymous comments without a huge grain of salt, but this board is great for getting general feeling for a company... Biggest red flag for me is late payment and/or some of the chronic management problems some of the larger services seem to have.

It's a reference tool, no more and no less.

Your poor grammar
You are not using proper sentence rules by using a lower case letter to begin a sentence. I truly do not believe you have a simple typo, sorry.
not surprised about the poor
communication and the jumping the gun. I think someone there likes to blame all the unreliable transcriptionists for the problem rather than taking responsibility for poor pay and poor management.
It is usually the ones with poor quality most likely.

poor and struggling
I feel for you; I am right there with you. BTW, my name, Fatcat, has to do with the fact that I am fat, not an allusion to being rich, ha ha. We live mostly on lentils and rice, sometimes hamburger once in a while if it is on sale. Please do not feel that you are alone. There are many of us in this same boat. I recently took on a second job just to be sure I always had work to support my family. God bless you. Hang in there.
Poor thing

Poor MT!  Must be hard to be the lone TTD employee with no MT friends. 


Had poor experience also
I just remember a lot of 'tude' and not the professional kind ;) A lot of changes with regard to supervisor/lead ... would not recommend but to be fair - that was then! don't know if they have improved.
You poor dear!! s/m
How in the world do you manage it?  You must be supermom as well as superwoman.  When I first started working at home my 4 were early teens and still there were days (nearly every day) when I thought surely I would totally melt down.  I could not have done what you are doing.  I might have been able to do it by juggling another type of job but not MT.
