Are your eyes open?

Do you work for OSi? If not, quit bashing them. If so, why haven't you secured another position due to your unhappiness?

    I agree. My eyes are open too and sm
    I trusted these people to operate decently.  If they are giving work to a company that doesn't pay people for work performed (even if it's bad, you know they have to be fixing it before sending it back and collecting their pay on it), then they don't deserve my trust.  These people at WMX are just as sneaky as the other companies, it turns out.
    Keep your eyes and ears open. I have worked
    for Transcend in the past, as did several of my friends, and we had a really bad experience.  MQ was better, which says a lot.  Hopefully things have changed now and they have improved their act, but things were horribly mismanaged a few years back, horrible accounts with cherry-picking, supervisors and other leads telling untruths, etc. Biggest point I remember was huge favoritism. I happened to be one of the favored ones, just by luck of the draw, while my friends were not as lucky. Again, just a bungled mess and we all left within a few months.  I believe one of my friends still has their computer. They never even noticed she was gone. That sort of nonsense. Best wishes to you, though.  Maybe you will be treated well since you are part of a business deal. 
    Open RadNet first and then open IT. Then the up Arrow and highlight to link, then OK.

    I have seen this with my own eyes SM
    the place I work has hired no less than 4 or 5 people who absolutely can't operate in a Word environment, they keep talking about how great WP 5.1 was, pining for the old days....
    RE: Old eyes/new screen
    Are any of you having trouble with focusing on the new white screen.  I've been in DOS for so long I forgot what a strain the white can be.  If you're having trouble, how are you handling it (and not losing time transcribing)? 
    Rolling eyes here. They were being
    sarcastic get it??
    Tired, yes. But you already WON in my eyes!
    .
    ****rolling eyes**** see what I mean everyone?

    Get those $$ out of your eyes! No lawsuit here!
    No defamation of character, TT Management!  It's all public knowledge.  That's right.  In the good state of Texas, one can look up this case and read the whole RIDICULOUS lawsuit.  Looks like something that would come out of that state!  Like our brilliant ex-Prez! 
    Rolling eyes is quite unprofessional, IMO. sm
    Get over it disgruntled.  My goodness, did they expect you to do horrible things like to  work 8 hours a day and meet minimums?  Shame on them for expecting such of a Primadonna.
    Cross your eyes and your toes too. :-) The only
    than I read but once you get used to it and it learns your particular account, you should be able to do OK with it.  It's picking up more and more all the time, less things you have to fix on certain worktypes but I look at it as job insurance, not displacement.  No matter how they tout this thing, it'll never replace us completely.  And it's good for a laugh now and then. 
    Your posts make my eyes bleed -

    I don't remember using the word "glued" maybe you should unglue your eyes and read again

    Thanks a million!! I guess the spread sheet confused my eyes. :)

    You are most definitely upset that your Bush **s-kicking ways have rendered your eyes caught in the
    Without MTs, companies would not exist. You and many others have no regard nor respect for hard-working MTS. You can't take it with you. I feel sorry for you. Do the right thing...and, you know what that is.
    if you are open to another
    company that hires part-time and pays PTO (with PT), e/m me.
    Don't be so down on yourself. When that even better job comes open...sm

    you'll be ready.  No biggie, and don't let the meanies get to you.  We all make mistakes, no one is perfect. 


    She did say she would call you when the next job came open.  In the meantime, maybe call her back and ask her to make sure she calls your land line as it is the one you use most. 


    It won't open for me either.

    why they keep amherst open
    amherst office runs all of the east coast offices. So you are probably safe if you tell HR you want to be managed by the west coast team. I think they are much nices to their MTs
    keep your ears open
    things are being restructured,it will most likely affect your office.
    Still cannot open the files
    The people at Type Right mentioned that they use Gear Player and that is what I use and I still cannot open up the files. I called technical support and they could not figure it out either. They said the files were corrupted. Sounds like something strange is going on if the rest of the people cannot open up the files either. I think I better pass on this company!
    they have my open position at TTS
    I QUIT! LOL
    here's an open post for you
    you are an idiot
    No, I mean 60 positions open

    and available for filling.  Even if she meant 16, that is quite a bit.  Again, more information available upon (E-mail) request.


    keep your options open

    open letter

    You could not said it any  better.!!!!


    The HR is not open on weekends nm

    go open your own company and sm
    maybe then you can give all your profits to the MTs. NOT! I bet you would be like any other business owner, keep the profits. That is the point of having your own business!
    Okay, lets get something in the open. (sm)
    I am so not stressing about it. It was a random question because I have been lied to in the past about having to take a pay cut. Was it really a true need or a true greed?

    Lets not fight about. There is nothing wrong with wondering.
    Always keep an open mind, but...
    Been here, done this several times, none have resulted in mutual benefit. My position, Transcend has much to prove.

    P.
    I always keep an open mind
    I kept an open mind when the company I worked for (ddi, Inc) sold out to the Q.  It was fine for a couple of years and then......well, I wasn't there anymore, need I say more?
    I see that open door

    Yeah, I'll just get in line behind 10 former teammates that just got the ax, all the MDI'ers looking for a new gig, and locally, the 450 people whose plant just closed.  Once I get through that crowd, I can then compete with my current teammates who are also looking for a second job/replacement job because they are eyeying the open door too, in between competing with one another for work.


    Once I claw my way through the desperate crowd of job seekers and into another job, I can wait a year or so, run across the same scenario at the next company, and start looking for work again when their work pool mysteriously dries up.


    Or I could just blow my brains out and avoid repeating this loathesome, demoralizing cycle for the next 20 years until I'm retirement age.  Thanks for helping me ponder my options.


    Which three offices will remain open?
    Do you know?
    I would open the discussion by calmly
    asking what the procedure is for assigning work. If you don't get the info you need, ask if there are any other accounts available which will enable you to be more productive. If you are working in an atmosphere where you are afraid to ask questions, it sounds like the wrong job and you might need a change. Good luck.
    Does anyone have the # to Spheris Help Desk? My TWS will not open. TIA

    They have a recruiter position open that they
    are advertising for.
    I couldn't even get their test to open for me so I could take it.
    .
    Be aware of the open medical
    in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Be very aware of the supervisor. Not a good place. Three new employees, all three walked within the first six months. Just thought I would put a warning out!!!
    open letter to Diskriter

    You are having such a horrid time filling those job positions that I am willing to give it a go, but only for 12 cpl. Let me know. Yours very truly.


     


    You're SO right! Not only China, but now the US has an open (sm)
    trade agreement with KOREA... another less-than-scrupulous part of the world.

    As for the name of the guy you talked to in India, I have noticed that with Dell Computers. When you get tech support, whether on the phone or by email or instant message, they always have an American-sounding name. That seems purposely deceptive.
    I still work there, started on 1st and have always been on 1st. Maybe it is what is open when you a
    I work Monday through Friday only, 1st shift, do 125-130 reports a day by the end of my shift, sign off and have a life. I need time for gardening, shopping, Grey's Anatomy and MTStars!
    It is open to debate, like everyhing else

    Well, someone has to be working holidays...ERs are open 24/7/365
    If you are doing acute care I think it is just a given that you are going to have to cover some holidays.  Just like the doctors, nurses, admissions, and the rest of the hospital staff... someone has to work it.  The only holiday I'd mind working actually is Christmas, the rest can be adjusted to fit my schedule.  But I am lucky and live close to family and don't have travel concerns.  Guess I'll take my extra cpl and be happy with it. 
    JLG had some positions open last year using WP5.1, too.
    s
    That was not my case. I was very open-minded
    and hopeful that things would work out.  I based my decisions soley on my experience and not the experience of others, but like I said AL is good because I'm in a much better place now.  
    Maybe we should open a margarita stand too .... sm

    Crabbing, gourd painting, and bilking tourists might make us thirsty.  :-)


    Where are you that you are my neighbor?  I didn't think anyone close to Kansas would admit it .. LOL.


    I can't sleep either, but I think I am just restless.  My a/c went out today and the maintenance guy couldn't get it fixed and will have to wait until tomorrow.  Add 102 temps to the mix and you have one cranky MT! 


    I've tried to open it with all these programs?

    There isn't any good, but if you will open you post and down

    When I open my mail I am shocked to see so many
    mailnotes from my company looking for help!  Do they think all we do is sit at our desks and wait for work?  Where are they when I log on and there is NOT work ---- for days?

    An opportunity has finally come open-- What would you do?
    Okay, I've posted on this forum several times indicating I'm burned out after 32 years of transcribing, and the lack of work at times, diminishing benefits, no 401K and I'm 53 years old, along with my lack of momentum, and such.  Well, I have had the opportunity to apply for two outside jobs in my community, both of which sounds promising.  1) A State job as an adiministrative support personnel that has nothing to do with transcription (13 paid holidays, 13 sick days accrual, 13 vacation days accrural, company paid health insurance, company paid retirement plus 401K, and so on)- The catch- pay range 22, 272 - 36,489 .  The second   2) A County job at either our local county hospital or county health department as a Medical Transcriptionist (excellent benefits also, but not as good as the State job) but better than what I have now.  (The pay 32,400 - 48,500). Which would you choose?  I know looking at the pay, one would say that's a no brainer, however, although the county has not outsourced their transcription department over these many years yet, does not necessarily mean they will not in the future, and I would hate to end up right back where I started from, and although the State job pay starts out low, it is possible that they can start me off somwhere in the middle of that range, but the job is a secure one.  Give me your ideas on which you would choose?
