Please go ahead and be proud. I am proud too! sm
  I am proud to be an American too.  I am also proud to bring home a good income for my American family.  I am comforted by the fact that I always have plenty of work, never run out of work, and I can easily get 6000 to 7000 lines beyond the incentive point for even more cpl.  I am proud of the fact that I am always paid on time or early.  I am proud of the company I work for and the people I work with.  I am proud to be associated with Cardioscribes and Tonya.  No company has ever treated me better than Cardioscribes does.  I am treated with respect and kindness each and every day.  If I have any problems, they are there to help me in any way they possibly can.  I am proud of the fact that I know where my company stands and where I stand within that company.  Cardioscribes does not hide the fact that there is an Indian affiliation.  You go ahead and be proud to be American.  Your pride just means more work and more $$$ for me and my proud American family. 
Come and get it baby...

MT all the way baby. sm
Why on earth would I be management anywhere. Anyone who is a quality MT and gets good line counts knows being paid on production and being eligible for OT is far more profitable than being management. None of the nationals pay squat for management. If you figure management is on call pretty much 24/7, they make less than minimum wage most places. I will always be an MT, production is how I like paid and I like being paid for OT, not being exempt like the managers are.
Run, baby, run
I quit working for Spheris about 6 months ago (after 5 years). Cannot believe how miserable they had made me...

Loving new company... should have quit long time ago!!!
proud of you.

Puff up, baby!
Put on your face, get back in the race.  The Lord wouldn't want you moping around.  Get out there.  Wal-Mart has openings.  It doesn't have to be a permanent thing.  Work till something comes along.  Get out of the house.  NEVER GIVE UP!

I don't know who you are....but, I just sent an SOS to OSi to bring attention to your posts here.  You are incredibly foolish  and immature to come here making such statements and dropping names and phone numbers.  I don't know anything about OSI, but I do know that you have really crossed the line here.  You are obviously not very bright because of your improper usage of several words in your post...and misspelled words as well. 


If you actually do work for OSI, they are going to know who you are once they read your posts and your 'good thing' will come to an end. If I were in management there, I'd fire  you on the spot  for what you have done here.  You are pathetic.


Work it, baby.
NO. You can't just get a raise just 'cause. Our government works that way, but this is not the basis of good, old, happy capitalism, which our grand country was founded upon.

There are different levels for different pay, and the way to move up in line count is clearly outlined for the MTs. If you're unwilling to do what's required to get the raise, do you think they should just give it to you? They're not just trying to get you to jump through a hoop to give you a raise. They're trying to help you become a better transcriptionist. If you never did anything to better yourself (get your CMT, work on a harder account), you would stay stagnated in your same position. Learn the harder work! It will not only give you a raise, you'll be more marketable, and you'll earn respect and be less replaceable. Some companies don't ever offer raises, no matter what you do, so this is not a bad deal!

No, they're not going to do it. You have to prove that you are worth it. MTs are a dime a dozen, and you HAVE to show them you're in 1st place out of 12. Don't just do what they're asking to move up. Do MORE than that. Increase your production. Volunteer to help newbies. Get your CMT.

It's worth the effort, and so are you!
Is that the one that is so proud of being run by all women?
x
good for you, but why are u so proud of that
????????? some people can'twork weekends so good for u if you like it who cares
sad that you think wanting a baby is
completely unnecessary. I worked for an IVF clinic and I would not call it a crap shoot, either - cold, cold, cold.......
Proud American
Good for you! It is also time to let the patient know where their sensitive information is being sent. We are only 5% of the world's population, and if we don't safeguard our economy and jobs, we will all be cleaning houses for the rich of the world that come here to suck up what we have left.
I had a baby in December (sm)
I had a baby in December and did not qualify for FMLA because you have to get at least 25 hours a week or so many hours average for the year. I do not know if this is different from state to state, but this was true for me. I did get a 6 week unpaid leave of absence because I did not have any PTO. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and was off starting the end of October and had to come back to work 9 days after my baby was born.

If you qualify for FMLA you can get up to 12 weeks, but I think you still have to use PTO or sick time to get paid. The best thing is to check with your human resource department where you work. By the way, congrats if you are pregnant!
Proud, not prideful!

Dell is an American company that outsources as much as it can to save money.  I didn't realize that when I bought the computer a few years ago but only found out when they made a mistake with my bill.  Then I got sick and tired of being called day and night by people who didn't understand anything I said and vice versa.


Why should I waste my time trying to decipher somebody's bad English because Dell is too cheap to hire Americans?  I have nothing personal against the workers but it is so annoying to listen to somebody mangle my native tongue and a waste of time if you can't understand each other.   If the person's feelings were hurt, well I do apologize.  It is very rude and disrespectful of Dell and other companies to fatten their wallets at the expense of their fellow Americans.  And THEY are disrespectful to the workers they hire if they hire them without making sure they are fluent enough to provide good customer service.  You get what you pay for.


MDI does not offshore. They are proud
grateful for our country and the talent it has. Not everyone offshores.
Of course they are proud of offshoring SM
...they are shameless. More and more I am beginning to believe that the tide WILL turn back to the American worker. Swings both ways, something they are not worried about. Anyone who offshores has something other than the American worker in mind. Besides, I've worked for the head honcho biscuit eater types and they appear nauseating and pompous (and that's just an impression from the tone of their emails). Good luck to Transcend employees.
Yes we are PROUD of our group & have NOTHING
NM
Vegas, baby!

You get what you pay for.. for 1.5 cpl what do you think your getting.. high quality. No proud MT w
and of course those kinds of companies thrive on that. I mean really. 1.5 cpl.. No one with any experience or common sense would work for that!!
Since you're planning to have a baby
a couple of years from now, you might also want to consider opening a flexible spending or a medical spending account and put some money aside on your own. Not to tie you to the computer 24/7, but perhaps you can pick up an account locally on your own and set the money aside.

This business is unstable with offshoring, buyouts, lost accounts and the fluctuating workload. You're smart to plan ahead, but I wouldn't exclusively rely on an employer. Is your husband's insurance another resource? Good luck to you.
Not baby with bathwater at all. She is an intelligent MT
They do double talk at MDI. But their supporters are probably favorites or mgmt. There are plenty of people who have been messed up by this company's revolving door and double talk. I am one of them and I see others on this board as well. If this poster is throwing any bathwater it is to clean the misrepresentation and expose the clean honest truth.
In these days of low work, I wish EVERYONE would go have a baby, go on sm

vacation, get your bunions fixed, etc., and leave more work for me! 


I don't understand the anger towards people on maternity leave, but as a 50-year-old happily menopausal old woman, I'm also not too flattered with the nasty little cobwebs in the womb retort by someone.  I do not resent women who want to have babies -- better them to deal with all of that than me.  I can barely handle taking care of myself and my doggie, so hats off to you. 


Seems lately that we are all kind of sniping at each other and we forget that we are all in this together.  I know that times are tough -- I'm feeling it myself -- but that's when we should bond together and support one another.


Anyone want to join me in a round of Cumbaya?  Or even better, the Barney song? 


 


Wrong baby. More and More new accounts. sm
Lots of work, lots of new accounts, overtime is getting offered more and more. Don't know why the other person left but been here 2 years and lovin it!
Yeah, Baby, lots of ESLs
ZZZZzzzzzz
Bravo for you! Keep up the good work! You should be so proud! nm
nm
and you are proud that you sacrifice quality for line count?
Too scary to be believed! Hope you never, ever, ever transcribe a report on a cancer patient!
You are a piece of work. Real pro. Any company would be proud
to have you.
MDI-FL/Transcend one and the same. Proud to outsource and not protect American MTs.
We have no job security.
Oh, poor baby -- horrible pregnancy - adopt

I had CANCER -- that is just nothing to you pregnant woman, huh ?????  I got NOTHING from company.


It is DISCRIMINATION!!!!


Eyetype is proud of herself - on other posts she calls herself an old hateful bigot or
something to that effect.  I just totally avoid anything with her name in it - such a waste of eye sight.  Obviously, her husband, if she ever had one, checked out on her, and she's a miserable evil person.  Poor thing, though its hard to feel sorry for her when she's so ugly.
Hmmm... Work 4 months, get 4 weeks paid baby....sm
vaction - quite a sweet deal ... while the rest of us are struggling with monumentous premiums (financing a newbie's love/sex life not my idea of fair play).  Many of us haven't gotten a single day of PTO, (thanks to the line requirement to meet when there is no/low work) and most of have been here much longer than 4 months. 
It's called "professional pride" - people proud of the way "they" do things.
You can't win with these types of people, and I think you're right, it's trivial nonsense.  Best thing to do is leave and find a more reasonable employer - they're out there.
thanks for the laugh!! - nm

who's got the last laugh now ?

Ive been an MT for 13 years. I was an IC for 10 years, and a FTE for a local hospital for the last 3 years. I came back from vacation in June to discover my lovely boss was interviewing companies to outsource the MT department. He lied to us - told us not to worry - and then a month later our union received the '60 day notice' letter and we were out on our assess. I took a job as a unit secretary - and a $5 an HOUR paycut along with it, working 3-11 and alternate weekends. Am I crazy to do this. Well yes and no.  I now have unlimited O/T, I'm keeping my awesome union benefits, building toward being vested in 2 more years, and just landed an IC MT job doing guess what: MY OLD JOB. The company that outsourced us hired me. I plan to rake in the bucks in the AM and do the b.s. job at night. 3-11 is half the work as a day job - plus you get the shift differential. Wish me luck ! Joanne


*l* = laugh...nm

You are not alone - I have 25 yrs exp and some want to pay me 7 or 8 cpl. I just laugh and say "

Thanks for my first laugh of the day!

Better for your well-being to laugh than to cry
I for sure would understand if the tears fell, tho.
Laugh is on you..
Full-time job pays $24/hr. Can take up to 12 weeks PTO/yr. Work at home. ALL equipment covered by company including internet.

Part-time job pays .11/cpl.

TRUST ME, I'M A LOT HAPPIER THAN YOU ARE LOL
sorry, just had to laugh at that
I've posted on here for years and no one has ever accused me of being a recruiter or management. Just thought that was funny. Um... no, definitely not. My point was that they try to keep the accounts balanced well and avoid overhiring, so you may be well qualified and still not get a call back if the accounts are well staffed already, so don't take it personally.
Should I laugh or cry?

You can either laugh or cry,

OMG - Thanks for the laugh!
Tarnscription.  I know you didn't mean to do it - but that is actually the PERFECT name for this junk sometimes.  Tarnation!!!  LOL!
Thanks for the laugh :)
I don't proof what I post on here, but your response is totally hilarous. If only they could drop in at 4:30 and start my super (hehehe - yes I purposefully spelled that wrong) :)
LOL thank you for the laugh nm

Thanks for the laugh.......nm

Okay, this made me laugh.
I worked on Vianeta years ago, and I have never been able to figure out why people who WORK on it can't SPELL it. It's a 7-letter word, how hard can it be?
Thanks for the laugh.. That was great..

Don't make me laugh
Don't let my ego get in the way of facts? How about, don't make such an assumption?

I didn't disagree with your original post, just suggested a different 'take'.

Well, at least I can laugh at my typos - sm
some of ya'll seem to take them way, WAY to seriously. (And to hopefully avert any more flaming about being sloppy in my work, I'm TALKING ABOUT silly little mistakes we make when we're dashing off quick posts & emails.) And do you really think my thread is actually TESTIER than some of the total ragging that's been going on whenever someone on these boards stands up and calls a spade a spade?
Not!
