no, not an idiot about DEP/DQS

Just a victim of the usual lack of consistency with MQ...I was told it was DEP at first, then when they started throwing the DQS term around, I felt clueless...turns out it is one and the same.


That said, there should not be any difference in a program in lines if you were on DEP/DQS..but who knows anymore, it could have been XY&Z but really AB&C platform and who knows what they'll call it next year


IDIOT?
Hmmm,  sounds like a management email from them.  Dork.  How's that?
Then you are an idiot.
xx
I as in idiot.
That is what a simple answer to a question about the acronym code for a conference call was called.  If this is who I think it is, that was so ugly.  You are not the first, we have had at least 10.
I am such an idiot!
Thanks for answering me, though. Speech recognition... : )
You would be an idiot to apply to MQ
after reading all these posts. That 2300 a day would equal maybe a 1200 in DQS.
She's beyond the point of looking like an idiot.

What a jerk AND an idiot!!! LOL nm

What an idiot this person is. Thinks he has all

the answers and really doesn't have any of them.  He doesn't know who I am and cannot comment on anything about what transpired when I worked there. 


I have absolutely no reason to lie about my experience with SS.  It was a horrible place for lots of reasons and I'll tell anyone who asks about the company my experience to spare them the headache.  IF my QA scores were down (how could they be I was in QA), if I didn't stick to my schedule, etc. and got fired I would admit that also, but none of it happened - I QUIT and H did beg me to stay. I know it is hard with all his sliminess to believe he could beg, but beg he did. 


no idiot, been there and they suck haha
Let me know when you wanna play with the big people. On one job, I make $23/h plus incentive. Full benes. 20 weeks PTO/yr. Second job REAL IC pays 11 cpl including headers/spaces. Now, who is jealous? Not that you would admit it. LOL. Now, go make your hard earned sucky money LOL
Calling someone an idiot is not commenting... NM

You are the same idiot that posts on the Evil Q board...
Aren't you?  Jes wonderin.... (as they say in your neck of the woods!)
No, you blathering idiot. I was thinking of applying. I

The idiot who is saying ignore cherry pickers
has probably never had to suffer in lines and wages the consequences of a cherry-picker. People like her saying ignore it and go on are just as bad as those who condone it. Look way below, she's now personally attacking the person who called her on it!!
First, their HIPAA officer is an idiot and says to use MSN messenger for pt names.

ANYONE with any brain knows that MSN is not a secure environment for patient names, but when confronted and asked, she said yes we could say patient names in that.  A friend of mine who worked there at the same time told them that she would NOT use patient names in messenger.


i wish she had reported that idiot to the bulldogs!


You could almost put any company's name in there anymore. We are all treated like mindless idiot
i have asked for other transcritpionists email addresses to see if we could put our heads together like for example learning speech and helping each other. No deal, was just ignored. Lied to constantly just because we can't see the work. It is an insult. Wish I had never gotten into this profession. I was even excited when we could work at home thinking it was going to be more lucrative financially, and it should be but when transcription companies spend millions of dollars buying each other something is wrong, wrong, wrong.
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Nasty, rude, unprofessional.

I spent most days watching TV because there was supposedly no work, and when I quit they screwed me out of the money that they agreed to pay to ship their equipment back.

EVIL
You need to get a life.....
I guess you had a bad experience, but that says nothing for the more than 400 MTs who are happy at OSi. I don't understand why you spend so much time running down a company instead of being a productive citizen. What you give comes back to you in the future. NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE.....I hope you are happy in your life because the reflection here shows some real issues you probably need to work on.
Get a life.
I too have "worked" for them, as a slave I might add.  I work my tail off and do not get paid what I should.  You, apparently a company suck up, get paid what you deserve.  Some of us do not.  You are not in the know.  I am looking elsewhere as we speak because I cannot and WILL NOT take it any more.  Get a life.  It is not just me as other people have the same complaints.  Unless you WALK in our shoes just SHUT UP.
You must have no life. No wonder lol

me get a life?

ha ha ha ha. That's original!!  Spelling police??  You have such an original way with words!!!!  Things that make you go hmm?  What year was that? I am so laughing and laughing.


 


 


Sure, but I have a life too..
 
get a life

You are the one with no life
I have not been on this site cheerleading for this lousy company for the past year.
Get a life...
You don't know me from a can of paint.  You don't know the OP either, so get over yourself.  CHEERS!
you think i have a life?
hah!, work, eat, walk 2 miles and do it again :) but really, its fun still. i never even filled out any 'stuff' about me really. but when you get 30 or more people on there that have a little something to share, it doesn't feel like we're boring !!
Run for your life!
The cornerstone platform is the worst I have ever worked on.  I have just found another job and will be leaving in about 2 weeks.  Keep looking, you will find a better company.
set for life
Wow, I know that when I went to school and got started doing this job, I didn't think I wouldn't being doing it for a good company. I wasn't educated on scam artists, and thief's in this business. I never start any job thinking I am going to do a half XXX job, and leave work undone and so yeah, I put in all the hours that it required to get the job done, I didn't get paid for my work, I got ripped off. I am not a negative person, I set out to be successful, happy, and yes SET for life. I'm sorry that you don't agree with that, but that is why people have 401K plans,and retirement funds and buy a house.
take over your life is right.

I spend most of my day doing this work.  They say come back later in the day when there is work.  You get a few hours off, but you can't plan anything. 


Oh, I DO have a life
A quite wonderful life, because I do WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO EARN AN INCOME TO KEEP MY FAMILY AFLOAT.

I don't post on here to complain that wow, my job is so wonderful that I just HAD to waste interviewers' time and perhaps push another NEEDY MT out of the running but I had to turn down a job because it required I work a weekend day.

Get a grip. The post was complaining/whining/whatever you choose to call it. If you're in a position to turn down a 'wonderful' job, more power to you, but don't get on here and complain about having to do so.

The only objection I have is that she should have put the name of the 'wonderful' company so someone willing to work and put in the hours and schedule could have applied.

Perhaps YOU need to get a life...a life where you have bills to pay, are the sole breadwinner, and don't waste the time of MTSOs and try to push other MTs out of the running for apparently kicks and giggles, since she's so happy at her current job.

Sometimes I'm totally amazed by the ignorance on this board and whom people choose to side with or against. Guess it must depend on the lunar cycle or something.

*Eye roll*
That is exactly where I am at with my NO life. Thinking about what to do now.

To: Get a life, at Transcend.

Not sure if you saw the post below or not, but I'm looking for extra pointers on how to make the 20K lines per pay period when the work load is low.  I'm a fast typist, have lots of entries in my expander and even have a lot of files already formatted with jumps in them to save time. I work during my regular schedule leave the downloads on automatic so that I can type when the work comes in. I've been working different shifts at different times, but still can't do it.  How do you do it?  Do you have to work more than your 8-hour shift to get the 20K when the work load is low?


Ummmm...a life maybe???????

Welcome to REAL life!
Working 40 hours for benefits is not a NEW concept. MTs have long done themselves a great disservice by balking at change.

You still have the benefit of earning more dollars, but MTs are FINALLY become like REAL employees. You know where you have to work the hours to get the perks???

If you're doing 30 hours, slow down and do 39. Problem solved.

OR

Go to school to become a P.A. where, I hate to tell ya, they're going to want you to work 40 hours.
Story of my life
ESL city!!! I got to the point where I just couldn't take any more.  Other than Bonnie Monico who is top notch and a sweetie, it was a rather horrible little experience for me.
live s/b life (nm)

That is definitely NOT true..... get a life!

get a life, loser
The company is certainly better off without you so the owner's instinct of your worthlessness has been validated by your own rhetoric.
fact of life??
Currently, offshoring IS not a fact of life; however, it will become so if we all lay down, roll over, and beg for the profession to throw us the proverbial bone. I, too, have been in this business for almost 20 years, but there is no way that I will ever just roll over and play dead and just say it's a fact of life. If all of us have any passion for our profession, any compassion for our fellow man, any compassion for our fellow MT, QA, auditor, what have you, we all will not take this laying down, but will take Mary's initial letter from yesterday (can we Mary??) and send it to every senator, governor, any politician, newspapers, hospitals, clinics, etc., and get the word out to Joe Q. and Jane Q. Public, and see what everyone has to say about what has become the true fleecing of America.

I'll tell you what I don't understand; I don't understand why you are NOT outraged by the outsourcing of American jobs, any American jobs.
As with most things in life ..
You have to do what works for you. If you are getting experience doing something you enjoy, then you need to ignore the negative posts and be of help to those you can.
I have never heard so much BS in all of my life

Got tough so-called ESL (some Americans are worse) dictators?  Get some samples or leave blanks.  End of story.


Want to make some real money?  Go out and get your own accounts and stop relying on the companies online to get the work for you, and then expect them to pay what they are getting from their client.  That is unrealistic.


Got lots of experience over 20+ years?  On what, a typewriter when stethoscope was considered an obscure term?  There are so many new modalities that the scientific industry is moving faster than the doctors' can learn their tricks of the trade, when in turn can make our jobs much more challenging.  You think because you have 20-30 years of experience that makes you worth so much?  Most 30+ year transcriptionists barely can operate a computer.  No wonder your line count is down.  You've got to get with the times.


Offshoring is your concern?  Well I fear more the newbies being hired from these online schools that half-train, and then the companies hire them at a very reduced rate almost equal to what they would pay an offshore person.  What prejudices we have for foreign offshoring, when we have it right here in the U.S.


Now, I am all for helping someone who is new in the business, but if you are new and you think for one stinkin' minute you are going to make a lot of money, you are dead wrong.  These newbies make it worse for ones who have a lot of experience because they will actually do an intership where they are paying to go to work and learn?  Think about it.  All of these statements are my opinion, and I am so tired of people moaning and groining about this profession and not trying to be proactive about it.  Every profession has taken a cut in pay no matter what you do.  It is not just transcription.  It is everywhere.  Hello?  Can anyone hear me? 


 


Mag mutual, not on your life-
Had a horrible experiences there. Starting to work 1 day, could not get on, I had been pulled without a word or since then and no reason why. Still have no clue. Much better places to work.
Yep, life is tough all over. NM

life insurance
Do you know how much life insurance one can get without evidence of insurability? I need life insurance but have a recent cancer diagnosis. (I'm fine!) Don't really need the health insurance but can't get life through my spouse.
ATSI -- RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

Left there after having all my pay checks ,messed up- and we are not talking $5-10 -- mucho dollars messed up, paid late - sometimes a week late..  Losing accounts so MTs are being swtiched around.  Promised one thing and given another.  They change pay scales and do not let you know until you get your paycheck and start asking questions.  Very high turnover of MTs and supervisory staff.  Had 4 different supervisors in 6 months. Some MT's get shift diff, others do not -- depending on if they raised a fuss over it or not.  Pending class action suit over pay practices.  If you decide to work for them -- get everything in writing what you are promised and hold onto your hat --will be a very bumpy ride. 


That has been my mantra throughout life and

life is just what you make it
life is just what you want it to be - that was a song, I think. ..

Amphion -- run for your life

Jill,


Unless you are a robot (and I mean a perfect robot) who never gets sick, never has a life, never wants a vacation, Amphion is not a good choice.  I am a MT who every other place I have worked has been praised for my quality ... not at Amphion, but in talking with many other Amphion MTs, I was not being singled out.  They literally expect perfect reports and don't think about typing the patient if the doc said patient, or you will lose points on your QA, which means loss of money or worse, if you get a substandard QA they put you through a week of total QA where they pick through your work with a fine tooth comb and give you detailed feedback that includes even commas (extremely stressful week). I have been counted off on QA for typing urinalysis when the doc actually said urine analysis. The QA monkey is always on your back at Amphion.


My supervisor was quite condescending as were the QA people at the time, professional on the surface ... always address you by name and they say thank you, but everything in between is quite cold and condescending.  These people totally stripped away my self-confidence in what I do. 


Mandatory overtime ... they pull this one out of the hat whenever they feel like it and make no apologies, and sometimes mandatory OT goes on months on end at an hour a day extra, and they won't let you out of it just short of providing a death certificate for yourself!


Their demographics can be extremely challenging depending on the account you get. I worked on their biggest account, and the demographics are so hard they will pay you training pay up to 2 months while you are trying to learn this extremely complex system.  I am a bright person, and I still had many questions about demographics after being on the account for 18 months. It was beyond confusing.


The pros: They pay OT always.  Paychecks are always correct.  They are extremely organized as a company and an e-mail is ignored. 


The cons greatly outweighed the pros in my situation.  However, I do have a friend who still works for them on a different team, different supervisor, different QA people, and she loves it.  It was the worst experience of my professional life, and I have 19 years experience in this field. I tried to stick it out and make it work because I know the grass is not always greener.  After 18 months I gave up and have now moved on to much greener pastures where I am appreciated and treated respectfully.
