HAHAHA.

hahaha
now that was funny ;-)
hahaha
Constantly ran out of work to QA and was expected to type in order to make any money.

Not sure why you are complaining. You make NO money doing QA for DSG, typing is the way to go.
....and then there is there fabulous HAHAHA $12.50

Downtime? hahaha

There has been no mention of that and I'm sure it wont happen.


When the system is fixed, the most we'll get is double the amount of emails telling us how much work there is and how we all need to give us food/sleep/bathroom time to get it caught up.


I know how to do ESLs hahaha
Where did you get the impression that I do not know how to do ESLs!  I have done them for years at above 99% QA for crying out loud but 80% you cannot make a living doing, at least the kind of living I want!  I am only willing to do 20-30% and have never settled for less....  My question was about VR, not ESLs.
hahaha welll.. (sm)
I'm a tier III and still don't get paid for op notes, so don't feel toooo bad - my cpl is less than yours. ;)

making a big deal out of a picture. You just love stirring up stuff, don't you?
Oh great - Another psychic employee!! HAHAHA
How about just saying yes, it is 70% of your line rate instead of making up rumors.
Hahaha, don't hate me, but I have the beautiful NJA screen right now!!
And I am very happy to see it. Off to drink a hot cup of coffee and bask in the warmth of the morning sunshine.

Ta-ta.
You're right! Hahaha My typo totally messed up the meaning!
Yes, MQ is aware of my other position. I was very up front with them when I took their offer. Spheris probably would not be happy about my situation, I agree.

My other comments were made because no matter what I post, someone has got to be interested in what I'm doing or not doing, whether they think it is right or not, etc.

My whole post on this thread was an answer about great companies. I posted. Then, if you'll go back and look at this entire thread, I am the one getting all the virtual "you can't do that" complainers on my back.

It's not anyone else's business. One of the OPs started it I suppose with the trying to tell me I can't post on this forum because I work for Spheris and I can't use their computer. Then others chime in. Then others start in with what they think I can and cannot do.

It's none of anyone's business. I wasn't addressing any of those subjects whatsoever.

I seem to be prime fuel for the flaming activities, regardless of the subject of my posts. Even if I respond to others, 9 times out of 10 I get flamed and for other subject matter most of those times.

Hahaha, you are right in your answers to some of the other posters. You and I are having an adult conversation and understanding each other well, even if we disagree. THAT is how it should be.

As I answered you somewhere in this same thread, I understand what you were bringing to light for others who may not realize about working for more than 1 company. It is a gamble. I agree wholeheartedly.

It isn't just the competition between Spheris and MQ though. That expectation is with other companies as well, maybe not all, but most. And most, if you read the employee handbook imply that they do not want their employees on forums like this.

One of the OPs stated that I signed a contract with Spheris forbidding me to be on this forum. No ma'am. That simply isn't true. I went back and looked at everything I've signed. I've signed no such contract. There may be an implied policy but I have not signed any such contract.

I personally think that each company has really good aspects. I can also see where each could improve. That will be with any company though. As long as I am well paid and have flexibility and opportunity, I'm a happy clam.

Hahaha! Pitiful and ridiculous comment. A lot of posters, as 1 poster even mentioned
in this thread, immediately stop reading a post full of GRAMMAR mistakes, NOT typos, before getting the 'issue.'

How can one respect the opinion of a poster whose grammar is a catastrophy, especially from an MT?

The 1st question that pops into my head is, 'How did this person get an MT certificate?' I am not talking about typos, incorrect grammar only.


Hahaha. Good April Fool's Day joke but gotta break the news to ya,
:+
Heck
They are probably glad you didn't apply too. Why do transcriptionists think they are constantly owed more than they get? Get up off your butt and work for it. It can definitely be done.
HECK NO!
Especially considering so many errors are subjective. There are a lot that are spelled out so that there is no question about whether there is an error or not; however, there are far too many that are ambiguous and/or seem to be based upon any particular QA or supervisor is editing or auditing. I've had many items marked for errors throughout my career, both as an MT and as a QA, that I've disputed and even shown proof of the descrepancies. These have not always been changed from errors to showing as correct.
I definitely wouldn't work for a company that does that - especially if they refuse to pay you for an entire report for only 1 supposed error! What a crock!
how the heck you do that
How come you so fast? what kind of work does TT give you?
heck, i don't even know what co. this is! nm

Now HOW THE HECK...

On the Seekers Board, Synernet is hiring RAD MTs.  On their website, they require 1600 lines/8-hour shift.  Does this include the RAD accounts?  And isn't this the company who offshores?


PLUS, how in the heck are we
supposed to decide whether to go PT or FT or bail, with this total lack of info? Not to mention, we don't know what wage we would be making, and they base their PT/FT status on how much MONEY you make in a pay period...screwy.
Well, heck...
I don't even work there and never have, and yet I'm irritated FOR you, lol!!!

Nothing grates on me faster than employers who brush off their employees' concerns the way you were brushed off, and that post of hers just muddied the waters even further. Of course, it's not a pay cut in the sense that they, for example, dropped you from 7 cpl to 6 cpl, but if they are not paying for something they previously paid for, I fail to understand how that is NOT a pay cut.

Maybe I need more coffee. Or maybe the post was intended to be ambiguous so as to not be incriminating, lol!!!

Anyway, you have my sympathies...both for the pay cut AND for having a boss that treats you like a nuisance when you have a concern!
Where in the heck do YOU get off!

Really, what IS YOUR PROBLEM????  If you don't watch it, GP will sue YOU for defamation of character!  That would be a fun countersuit to see. 


what the heck does your post even mean?
If you have something to say, please, say it, I can't read into posts like this...thanks!
what the heck is there to upgrade anyway on a DD?

What the heck is that all about. I was just asking QTer2 why she
now. I don't care or know what the managers do all day. I was just asking what she meant by her comment, that's all. Talk about junk...
No one job hops just for the heck of it. sm
Do you think we would job hop if we could find a company that paid well and treated us as valued members of a team?  Get real!  We only hop to find a job that will support a family.  Surely you can't honestly think it is just done on a whim.  And as an above poster stated, a company earns my respect and loyalty, just as I expect to earn the same from my employers. 
Heck yeah you can. If I can do it, anybody can!
A little new terminology now and then but thanks go Google and reference books, it isn't a big mystery for long. I like it because it is great to use with Expanders and allows one to have high count at end of day.
What the heck is a bad account?.....
When the first few days it is normal dictation, after that bad sound quality, mainly ESLs, slurred speech dictators, give me a break, you know what i am talking about, not a bad account, just the distribution of the work on the account. Are you a supervisor?
what the heck is a bad account?
Ok, I concede. Now for some help. Having 16 acute care experience, most in a hospital. Since you do 7 accounts, and I am not being a smart eleck, I am being sincere, how are you making any money? If I get mainly ESLs and they are new to me I find I have to go back and relisten when I am done to catch the blanks, or maybe I missed something. If there are sound quality issues most companies will not work it through with you so that is strike 2, also working mainly in hospitals I know this dictation is not first in first out but it seems to be consistent with nationals. I have to make a certain amount of money a month, am single (I would hate to be a single mother, I would cry every night in this profession anymore), but maybe I am losing the point. You don't seem to mind if that is the case with your 7 accounts (plus all the different account specifics), so give all of us some advice and maybe we will quit whining or getting out of the profession and make some money by how you are doing it. I stayed with 2 companies until I was living on credit cards and still working 16 hours a day, and not making enough money. If it is me, then make some suggestions as I am not alone.

I am sincere and you seem sincere.
Like who the heck cares if she is one or not?

Ahem, some? I would say a heck of a
aaaaaaaaaaa
Wow..too harsh for me.. I mean I think I know what the heck I'm doing but maybe I really don't
what the heck I am doing, according to her.  This ad is a crackup. Any ideas on who is it?
How the heck do you know what all the supervisors
xx
I would like to get the heck OUT OF THE HOUSE.
nm
heck ya, lots different
IMO, IC bites.  SE was way better.  As an IC, no taxes will be taken out of your check.  Way painful at tax time. 
If they can offshore us, they sure as heck can

What the heck are you talking about? sm
You work at Webmedx and are running out? How can that be since most of the Enterprise accounts are running overtime?

And if you don't like our CEO or anyone else in the company, don't let the door.... oops. There's lots of jobs out there for MTs - find a company that you like.
wot da heck u talkin about????
Don;t be too quick to point your finger. Maybe you were too quick to click the reply button and addressed YOUR whining to the wrong person???
what the heck is wrong with sm

with these MT companies!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have been looking for part-time QA or MT actively for about a month now.  I had left the MT profession when my mom was sick and took care of her until she died.  I have wasted a ton of time in the last two weeks taking tests and having preliminary interviews with recruiters.  The recruiters tell you one thing and when the person that does the hiring calls, they tell you something else!  Was suppose to start last week with a company and set up appointment for software download and THEY did not keep the appointment.  When calling to find out what was going on, they were very nasty and rude so I decided that was a sign not to deal with that company.  Just got done with an interview and while the recruiter was great, the person that called and did the hiring did nothing  but complain about how she had to babysit MTs etc. etc.  It was like she was on a power trip to make herself feel important or something.  After being talked down to for 15 minutes, I told her I was not interested.  Why start with a company that talks that way to you in an interview?  I have been at this profession for over 30 years, hired, trained, etc and I know what a hard position it puts you in.  NEVER EVER would I complain to a potential employee!!!!!!!  Anybody else having this problem?  Its like these companies are trying to tear your self-esteem down before they even get started.


I think I will take a breather before applying anymore.  I am tired of testing and interviewing!!!!!!!  I really did not want the hassle, but I am ready to find an account of my own and just IC on my own.  This is ridiculous.  Forgive me I am just blowing steam!


Oh, one more thing, these companies pester you to hurry and take their test, but then THEY take their own sweet time calling you back, don't answer e-mails, etc.  ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  I think we deserve more respect than this.  I would NEVER treat anyone the way these companies are doing.


 


Where the heck do you WORK?...
