Are you really surprised that they wouldn't let you send your e-mail out? If they cared

at all about their MT's they would have come up with a alternate solution. Why on earth do you think they would or should allow you to basically bash them on their e-mail server?

All the MQ accounts we are getting I wouldn't be surprised :)

Wouldn't hurt to send it again. nm
  
So send an e-mail saying you are going
to ER, and get a note while you are there. The problem is that this will put you out of work a while if it is broken, but there is no sense lying about it since you do need the wrist to heal.

Or else the note will explain there is no fracture or sprain and you are okay to work in __ days.
I was going to send an e mail just now
to Becky/Ginny at KS and inquire, but and then I saw your post. It made me smile.
Thanks for the encouragement. But still being slightly chicken :)
oh but they are quick to send an e-mail...
when you get something wrong in the dictation...
I tried to send you an e-mail, maybe it got lost (sm)
Set-up was easy. Good training on the platform. I have only one account. Feedback is quick and positive. You get to talk to people!

Send them an e-mail and tell them you haven't

Don't they send out notice in mail or not? thanks - nm

Sure I will send one - want some Habersett Scrapple too? E-mail me. nm

I get an e-mail about once a year and they send me a postcard
about 4 times a year.  I have never applied with them, not sure where they got my info. 
Click on her name within her post to send an e-mail. NM

Anyone work for Excel Transcription out of IL - send me an e-mail nm

They were still interviewing last week--wouldn't hurt to call or E-Mail
As far as I know they are still looking for Acute Care MTs, but I don't know how many they just hired or what kind of hours, FT/PT they still have available.  Could be that they are still looking for a couple more.  Sure wouldn't hurt to go to their website and call or E-Mail.  If they are still hiring, they may be jammed with applications, so if they do not respond right away that is probably a good sign and you should keep trying.  They are worth the effort to talk with them. 
Nah, if they cared even a little, there would be a

I sure do wish DRC cared (or even asked) -

Have to agree with you there. When I worked there, I never cared for the sm

sweety and hon terms that were thrown around.  (I dislike it when waitresses call me hon, too -- makes me feel like I'm about 12 years old.)   I also think the term awesome is overused.  The Grand Canyon is awesome.  I am not.  And telling me you rock is not much compensation for having no work and no money. 


That being said, I always liked D and everyone else.  It just didn't pay the bills.


haha, exactly the same for me...no work, no one cared..(no message)
xx
Sounds Great.. I have renewed faith but I didnt really doubt they cared..
They are pretty great to work for..
Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!

I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run
.
At my company I'd ask for $18; probably wouldn't get it, but I wouldn't go lower. nm

How do I access MQ Internet mail? I'm registered on Q-Net but don't see any e-mail thingie the

I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)

you could manually type it in and resend me the info.  Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.


Yes - regular mail and my reg mail stinks, so let them know.

Most of them do - You would be surprised.....
how many are doing it that have not come out. 
I am surprised a lot of the MTs
at Heartland did not follow Tracy to Transtech.
I'm surprised
about Trinidad because their website states they do not outsource.  They seem to be very family oriented and all that as well from what I read.  I do know the accounts have 12-hour windows and the scheduling is flexible within that time frame.
I was surprised
that it was mentioned that they pay some of the MTs in India as independent contractors.
With what I know of them, I would not be surprised
about anything that they do.
Why are you surprised?
What are the names of some professional organizations who require that you live in the US in order to join?
Are you surprised???
They don't care if you have work or not. Their only concern is keeping the reports within TAT. They don't care if you quit as a result. They will just post more ads here and more suckers will apply and get hired to take your place. DSG is the pits.
Really? I'm surprised because
work has been really slow on all my internet accounts for well over a month and I've not been able to make lines. But I love MDI, so I'm hanging in there.
Are you surprised?
I would guess that 90% of MTSOs read this board. They would be dumb not to know what is being said about their companies.

This is a public board that most MTSOs know about. There are probably just as many MTSO owners/managers/and other suits on this board as there are MTs.

If you'd notice, YOU are the only person who posts here with your full name. Most people know that MTSOs read these posts.
not surprised
How do you find things out like this?
I wish I could say that surprised me, but...
sadly I can't. So many things about this industry seem to be going down the tubes.

I first got into this because it seemed so secure. After all, people are always going to need doctors - right?

That part is still true; unfortunately, though, those doctors don't seem to need us anymore.

I wonder if anything is going to be able to pull us out of this awful downward spiral we all seem to be trapped in.
I'm not surprised
Watch out - they are vague about everything, and expect you to magically know everything then fuss at you or terminate you when your QA is 100% after a week. One friend who worked for them was done that way. they are rude jerks as well.
I am really surprised - sm

You do not have to associate yourselves with AHDI. There is information on how to contact your state representative.  There are other links there.  I am not a supporter of AHDI, but I thought you would see that that information is useful.  It is convenient.  Get off your duffs and write!  A lot of good it's doing you to get on this board and slam AHDI.  So what?  Not exactly constructive behavior.  I would be willing to bet that not one of you who has responded has done anything but whine and form and share useless opinions. 


Not surprised
I contacted them about a Rad position, they said it was filled. Then they called back and said there was an opening, to take the test. After I did this and passed, I was then told there was no opening. Question: Do recruiters make commission on each person test and interviewed?

Not surprised in the least.

I'm somehow not surprised but....
Have you also tried to email D and your liaison and anyone else in the upper ranks to see where all the work went? If you've read the thread below, you'll see several of us have tried but our emails go totally ignored.

I'm also wondering if you and Fatcat are on the same account(s). Out of the blue her accounts were quite suddenly chock-full last night and we kind of suspected that work would disappear today.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. If it's any consolation, know that you are most assuredly not alone in your catfish, bottom-feeder feelings. We're all right there with you.
What are you surprised about? I know several MTs and
There is nothing wrong with this. It is on the American compound. It is a tax-free (or at least it used to be) excursion. You sign a contract. They pay for your round-trip travel there/back at the beginning and end of your contract plus usually 2-3 more trips within the year. They usually provide paid housing on the compound, etc.

?

Not surprised
I am with you. I think you have called the situation correctly. MDI/Transcend will drop the shoe when it is convenient for THEM. If anyone thinks they really care about the needs of their MTs, review in your mind the events of the past, say, six months. Did you have enough work? Were you given flimsy excuses? Were you promised that things would be fine for once and for all in September? Indeed, SAD, but also, APPARENTLY TRUE. I will never trust another MTSO again. Ever.
I am really surprised to hear this.
When you say your pay is always late...have you looked at the postmark date to see if it was mailed on a payday Friday? It may take 3 days for me to get it but it is always mailed on time. These are the most professional and aboveboard people I have ever worked for. Why is your pay always wrong? Do you type or QA? Did you make them aware of the problems with your check?
I am surprised anyone still works for them!

I am surprised about the low pay posts below as
when I applied with them, they offered me great pay. They must have changed. How sad:(
I am surprised you were treated this way after only ONE day of being ill.
:+
Really surprised about your post..
I have been there about 4 months now and have had no trouble whatsoever with getting paid on time and my pay being right. I guess with every job some folks like and some don’t. I for one am really loving it.
I'm surprised you would ever be able to find a

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.
I'm surprised you didn't get something that was

QUALITY...You'd be surprised by how...sm
many MTs with 10, 15, or 20 years of experience are still getting paid peanuts, barely able to make minimum wage, yet highest quality is demanded of them. Where's the meat???
