Come on - This board is not just for miserable MTs.

In Reply to: Nobody, just an employee consistently sm - Sick of it.

Understand your feelings, but why do you come here?  Not everyone on here is miserable.  Do they not have the right to post also.  You do not have to respond to them, you know.


It is very informative to see which companies have work, which do not, and for how long.  Pay, incentives, and bonuses are also very informative.  Who gets them and who doesn't. 


Don't shoot the messenger!

why be so miserable about your job? is there...
some other kind of work you can or want to do? honestly people, money is not everything and if you are working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet you are killing yourself for nothing but paying the bills.
Miserable

Yeah, air conditioner went belly up and the cheap ones are sold out. I would not be working in this if I were not so dedicated to paying my bills, LOL. Know what you mean about being sleepy because cannot sleep in this heat. 


I have always had animals in my life (the kids always had to have their own pets and so used to be a full house) and cannot imagine living without a dog and cat around the house and at least one stray or unwanted pet to find a home for (right now a turtle found wandering the streets by a neighbor!).


Stay cool


I am miserable there and hoping
to get out.  I have never made such a low LPH.  I was not aware that not being paid for spaces would hurt my production so much, but it has made a big difference.  I do like their platform and it was easy to learn, but I still have bills to pay.  I used to make 200 to 300 LPH with other companies, make 150 or so with this company.  Also they have a program where you can look up previous reports on the same patient or examples of report types or by the same doc, but it always, freezes or goes so slow and I am stuck in my screen.  I have heard from some others having this problem.  It really slows me down.  I am leaving as soon as I can.
Wow, what a nasty and miserable POS
you are. Sheesh!!!
If a person doing VR is miserable, then they need
to check around, find out people who are happy with VR as it looks like most are going that way regardless and then make a choice. No sense in being miserable trying to work with a system. Again, life is just too short for misery.
You sound miserable....why do you stay? nm

Bet you're quite miserable with that tude.
lol
I think you should at least try to change STMs if you are miserable.
Mine is awesome. Super flexible and super helpful in everything. She gives us the option to flex if we want or take PTO (obviously we could use unpaid if we need) if we would rather. This last week when work was low and a holiday, she told us we should submit PTO request ahead of time and then if we needed we could unrequest some if we were able to make up some hours.

Maybe you could get with a new STM once the new accounts come in? Maybe ask to switch accounts?
You're right. It is miserable to be a US employee anymore.
We treat the immigrant workers and the overseas workers better than we treat our own ... it's the American way, of late, anyway.
I also encountered a QA nazi..She made my life miserable.
She was ridiculous to say the least. Is this company out of FL or UT? It just sounds very familiar.
I am not miserable at all. I am just tired of excuses of why people cannot work! nm

Sorry. That was eTransPlus. TT had the miserable ESLs and teaching hospital that I couldn't
s
As a former "QA Nazi" undeserved or not, you guys make our lives miserable, too.
Especially ESL MTs who used to be doctors in India who think they know it all and like to threaten lawsuits. Yah, that's the ticket.
"The most miserable group of people in the world"? Great attitude for a Lead.
Hope you're not one for long.
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on

the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post.  Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.


Thank you,


Administrator


Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#
x
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

.


This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

This is the Company Board. You should have posted on tech board. nm

xx
Posted on wrong board. Plz see Seekers board.
nt
Sorry! Wrong board. Reposted on Main board. NM
s
There is a comedy board...put your remarks on that board. nm
nm
Then this is the "Unprofessional" MT board. Pulic board,
x
I can't give you the name of the message board, but it is not a free message board (HINT). There
Monitor, I hope this post is okay.
You already have your own board. Now you want a board for the ones who leave??
nm
Never Not on this board.
whee
I'm on this board again because I keep
I've been donig this for 10 years and can't remember running out this time of the year.  Is anyone else slow. 
Sorry, this should have been on the MQ board. nm

probably more for another board, but...
In response to the posts about Christmas, I remember the good old days when the Jewish radiologist I worked for took the whole staff out for a big Christmas dinner and gave us all generous bonuses. We in turn gave him and his wife Hanukkah gifts. It's called mutual respect and being big enough to accept and respect each others' differences without taking away anyone's right to celebrate according to their own beliefs.
Where is the MQ board? (SM)
See the links to specialty boards to the left. Medquist is the 4th link from the top.

TT's ads all over job board!!!

Look on the job board
 
someone on this board once said that they (sm)
give you a line raise after you are taken off 100% QA.  I was never told that and did not get it. 
Board changes (SM)
We have condensed the number of board forums to reduce the confusion on where to post what topics.

You can view archives of any of the removed forums by clicking on the Home button at the bottom left and then scrolling to the end of the web page.

If your topic does not have a specific board currently, the Main board will accommodate it.

Thank you.

there was a job on the other board sm
that was paying 7 cpl for MT and part time supervisor. I don't think so.
I was just on the La. board looking for La. MTs.

I never see any postings from MTs of Louisiana and when I asked a question concerning LA MTs I would never get an answer.  What part of Louisiana are you located.  Do you work as an IC or employee or for a hospital?  I have been trying to get an estimate on what Louisiana MTs are paid as I think the amount that I was told by the hospital was too low.


If it is the one from the Job board

Then that is Terry and they are out of St. Louis MO.  I currently work for them.  Good company to work for.  Terry is very enthusiastic about MT.  I enjoy the accounts, very low ESL if that is a selling point for you.  We also have always had plenty of work and if ever I've run out I just let Terry know and she hooks me up with another account to fill my time. 


HTH.


MQ has their own board because they are the
BIGGEST MTSO. Spheris will not allow employees to post anywhere anytime anything about them. Spheris joined up with Indian forces long, long ago in a HUGE volume. I have even read articles from Indian papers and Spheris, with Spheris wanting to reduce its US workload by half at least in order to use Indian labor. I have heard Spheris pay per line is very low. Not putting MQ up on a pedestal.  I have worked for both, and Spheris is evil #1, though they keep a very low secretive profile.
I just saw on the job board
@ mtjobs.com QDPRN allows the choice of Word or Wordperfect also. So there seems to be companies out there still using Word.
Could you please tell me how to look at this board?
//
there were some on this board

when FN changed your pay from per report to per line (I think that is what they did).  Those posts would be further down, around the date you were switched.  If you do a search, you should be able to bring them up and then you can email the posters if you want. 


Is this the info you are looking for? 


Isn't that what this board is for?
I do agree with the above post - the Pro-KS people just haven't had a bad experience yet - but that doesn't mean it won't happen, they just won't be prepared when it does. Those of us who had bad or miserable experiences with KS should not be ridiculed for speaking our opinion or telling our stories. KS has had a clear-free ride on this board for a long time and it was about time for someone to start the rant on them that has happened today. They could not hide behind a gleeming reputation forever and get away with it. I am so happy that I beat them to the punch, as I described in a previous post - and now I enjoy working for another company that has been bashed on this board off and on for a long time, but I have no complaints. I have plenty of work and good lead people. Not everything is perfect, but what job is perfect. And, as with KS, I always try to stay a step ahead - and watch for signs that things are going awry. It pays off in the long run.
But is job board
Not for job ads? Seems they are advertising for business, not MTs.
because this is a board where MTs
voice their fears and concerns.  DAAAAAAA
TT board
I meant, what is it you know?
It's the second ad down on the job board
I see it's from October, so I don't know if they are hiring right now or not.  Haven't heard.
Job Board
Anyone know anything about Silent Type??
I don't think it is a TT board, per se (sm)
I think a TT employee started it.  The company knows about it but I don't think they are involved in it.  I tried getting on it, but I couldn't figure out how, something about a Yahoo group password and then enabling pop ups, or some such foolery, anyway I'm not that computer savvy, so I gave up. 
job board
How does one get to be job board to post a resume? Am looking for companies that work for very small facilities, 50 beds or less.
MQ has their own board. You'd probably have
more success there.   Sounds like there are lots of people ready to jump ship judging by the posts here the last couple of days.
