Guess the moderators didn't like it for some reason.

In Reply to: I'm confused. There was a whole thread about - Is there something going on with the board?
And only the original poster would have gotten the e-mail stating that their post had been removed.
I had a post flushed once. I wasn't happy about it. But it's their board, their rules, their say-so.

yeh guess theres a reason for that slowness
I tried that when I worked for them so I could get a line count for each report but Ichart was either unavailable or very very slow, a lag of 2, 3, 4 and even sometimes up to 12 hours, so you can't do it that way. They also told me they didn't have that information available when I confronted them and asked to see that report. I wanted a line count for each and every report. The IChart team told me they certainly do have that information. Glad to be gone!
Reason for high turnover of MTs I guess
x
Same reason people type "I could of" instead of "I could have," I guess, or sm
say I could care less, when the phrase is I couldn't care less.
maybe they didn't get it for some reason?
Resend it as a cut/paste inside the email on their link with their ad. Everyone I know got a response within 3 days or so.
I guess this explains part of the reason we keep running out of work. My office lost a lot of huge
accounts in the past year.
Maybe they didn't call her/him for a reason. They called me on Monday and I start tomorrow! sm
I know a lot of people who work there and love it, and that says more than the Q. I gave notice to my PS at MQ 3 weeks ago to start at another company but they did not get back to me after repeated calls. KS sent an email, called me and I start in the morning. They already set up my computer today. I am glad I made the move.
With the attitude of the OP, they probably tossed her resume into a compost heap!
Guess you didn't understand it.
Seymour already works there, hence the mention of one of their clients who obviously is heavy ESL, despite the fact that the recruiter advertises no ESLs. Maybe she means that one particular account, but I can't see placing all new hires on that one account. Silly me, that's what they do with ALL new hires and that's why they're running out of work all the time until everyone quits and then all the cheerleaders come on the board talking about how much work they have. Well, duh....could it be cuz nobody's there anymore?
Oh, guess it is good I didn't then:)

Guess didn't look close enough
Didn't put 2 and 2 together (Jennifer Poole and RC Transcription). So right. We deserve more than 5 cpl. What a rip! Case closed:(
didn't realize, guess I don't then...NM

LOL, guess I didn't read where it said subject (sm)
See, I'm just too dang stressed. Oh well, just don't sell my address, I get enough spam as it is and never read it.
True - why didn't I think of that? So I guess that means

Sorry you didn't get your check. Guess different areas are different.

I actually put a message on the moderator board...guess they didn't see it yet (NM)
I didn't know that. At TransTech we have Stedmans, so I guess they provide it.

I guess I was confused...didn't realize poster...
was referring to hourly wages. Whenever I worked an hourly job, lunches were not paid--had to punch in and out.. The 15-minute breaks were paid though...didn't have to punch the ol' card for those.
I just get rubbed raw at the hourly thing because the average at-home transcription gig pays on production and to mandate that someone has to be sitting in front of their monitor from such and such a time or else is just very disheartening. We know we have to work our buttinski's off or we bring home a crappy paycheck and we recognize TATs that have to be met...treat us like the professionals we are and we'll all be happy, know what I'm sayin?
Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago. Depends on current recruiters, I guess.
Thank you. I went to Walmart today, and guess what, they had one phone and it didn't work!. Go

No. Only the Administrator and moderators. NM

Moderators, please explain
Why do you keep deleting posts from MTs who are trying to help other MTs by letting them know what companies may actually be worth working for? The board mentions a lot of negativity about a lot of companies--I'm sure we don't mind seeing a couple good ones every now and then. Wussup!?
Moderators or programmers
Something is wrong with the reply box. Could som someone please check it it? The Breaking News
box overlaps and screws up the typed reply, as in mine above. Thanks.
Attention Moderators: Still Having Problems
Still having problems with the search box. When I type something in the search box (even something that I can see within the first 5 threads of the page I'm on), I get a COMPLETELY BLANK PAGE with no search results. Is there something wrong with the search engine???? Thanks!
Wow now we have MTSO moderators handing out advice
get outta here!
Are moderators on this board various different company officials?
?
People have asked moderators for VR board, not just this
particular company.
really nasty comments are deleted by the moderators..
and sometimes they are even checked before they make it to the board and deleted.
Provide it to the moderators along with TB's phone number to call. :)

The moderators have already requested that you stop with the grammar police stuff.
This is not the forum for you to try to be queen of QA. I am not insecure about my grammar skills, but I certainly am not going to get all in a tizzy if I make a mistake while posting on a message board, nor will I get all bent out of shape if I see an error in someone else's post. This forum is here to network with each other about various companies, hence the name COMPANY board and not GRAMMAR board.
The moderators said stop correcting people's posts - not questioning medical reports -
The OP was talking about in actual medical reports, not on these posts - or at least that is the way I took it.
I too am concerned about the way medical reports are looking and being put on charts. It is ridiculous and dangerous!!!
You can be fired for any reason or no reason at all.
No one HAS to employ you. No one MUST keep you in employment.
As an IC, your unemployment isn't coming from the account of your contracts! It comes from YOUR tax payments!
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.
She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).
That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
Maybe there's a reason for that.
I find it hard to believe that it's just a coincidence that so many people are having so many problems with so many different companies for it to be just the fault of the ones you call complainers. A lot of people really do something about, but it's still a big upheaval in their lives and I don't hold it against them just for looking for someone to share it with.
The reason they are doing this
like the other person said is to be more competitive with the market but what they are actually doing is lining the pockets of the big shots they just hired with the savings they don't have to pay their employees. Goodbye!
The reason I'm asking sm
I just wondered what it would take to make that kind of money per line.
I have close to 20 years experience in acute care and I was not offered even close to that, with only a half cent raise after the 2 week period, which still does not get me to what you are getting. How many years have you been with them?
Reason for U
Here is a reason, the owner of Omniscribe goes back on her word. She will tell you one thing, then do another when the mood suites her with no thought to you as an MT whatsoever. Is that a good reason for ya? BTW do u work for her? Why do you need a reason when someone tells you to beware of a company? Isn't that reason enough?
Exactly!! And that is the reason
work is being offshored!! People crazy enough to accept something ridiculous as 4 cpl!!
Some MTs will try to think of any reason why they just are
not hired. They totally overlook the actual problem, that being themselves! I guess they need an excuse so why not make up something called a black list? That's as good a reason as any to deny that you just lack the qualifications of some companies or just are not a good MT.
Any reason...
Yes, I believe you're right there. It is always easier to blame the other guy than to be accountable for our own shortcomings. The reality is that there ARE some good companies out there, not all are bad, and yet it seems they all take the heat with things like this. I find that unfortunate and would hope that any recruiter of those good companies would weed those folks out in the interview process.
For what reason?
Have you not returned equipment? Do you still have a foot pedal, computer, etc.? What else in the world would there be to bother you about?
This is the reason why (m)
it's impossible to get any real info here. You can't be honest unless you have only good things to say. I also would not be shocked to learn that people from the companies themselves post some of these questions just to see what kind of responses they get, then axe the people who respond in a way they don't like.
Because there's no reason..sm
..for the OP to want/need to know anything personal about us, let alone our SO. And it doesn't matter why WE decided to get into the field. Everybody has their own reasons, the way I see it, and why I went into it or why you went into it may be different than why he/she goes into it, so what difference does it make really. That was the way I took it. Seems very personal, just in terms of the asking about your SO part and the benefits. I tend to think it's MTSOs trying to find out info on us and why maybe they don't need to offer us benefits. Just being paranoid maybe, but you never can be too cautious these days.
Yup....that's the reason I went with them! (nm)
The reason I am an MT- sm
I have done this for 25+ years. If I was choosing a career at this point, I don't know if I would choose MT - it has changed drastically in my lifetime. However, I would like to tell you why it is chosen and why we do continue.
When I first started doing this, I had no clue regarding the enormous amount of information I would be required to learn. I did not know that it would be an ongoing and never-ending process of learning. I just thought it would be cool to type medical reports and wondered how hard it could be to listen to someone talk and type what they said! When I started getting a clue it became a challenge. I was already hooked, learning new things every day, feeling important because I had doctors talking into my ears, and knowing things about health/medicine that I had not known before. After a few years of striving to learn medical terminolog and hours and of hours of research in books and online trying to make sense of what I was hearing, I decided I had invested too much time/effort to do anything else.
For every medical report that is typed, someone behind the keys has had to learn terminology, lab values, physiology, anatomy, medications, proper style/grammar, and do it all quickly.
It is not the companies or the nickel/dime antics they play that keep us doing this. It is a geniune love for what we do - at least for me. I don't feel superior because of the knowlege I have gained over 25 years; however, I have worked hard to learn the things that make me a good medical transcriptionist. I am happy with my job/life because I choose to be. I could complain about the companies, MTSOs, etc., but I have worked at other jobs and had complaints. If it was not a job, I would not get a paycheck.
I love the field. I enjoy typing medical reports. I enjoy the research. I am good at what I do. By the way, if you ever find yourself on the receiving end of our work (in a hospital bed), think of your chart as the medical transcriptionist's gift to you - hopefully it will be typed by an experienced MT who stayed in the profession and knows how to do it right. 
ITA and my #2 reason I'm looking for another job. nm
I know the reason...
It used to be that the only abbreviation anything you could use with Lotus was what you could enter in MS-Word...no abbreviation Expander was compatible (for a lot of reasons I'm not going into just now). In any event, there was a compatibility problem with Lotus not counting all the characters expanded by abbreviation programs and the transcription manager was having to go in and manually count the characters to give the MT the proper pay. You can imagine that was a nightmare!
They have finally found a compatible abbreviation program that is fully compatible with Lotus...it is the only one compatible. Good company, honest people...They WANT you to succeed.
The reason for that
is because OSi has a difficult time staffing and then the workload gets way behind. That's also why they offer such a big hiring bonus. Unfortunately most MT's don't stay there long enough to collect it.
I have no reason to lie.
I make copies of my report prior to uploading when they must go to QA. I have been an MT for many years. There have been times when I have left a blank in a sentence and after seeing what QA has done..they deleted the entire sentence. I had no problems whatsoever hearing the other parts of the sentence.
DSG sucks in so many ways it is not even funny. There are no checks and balances in terms of the QA staff. I have no idea what their requirements are but I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY HAVE ENTERED RUBBISH IN THE BLANKS!!! Terms that could not be referenced ANYWHERE!
SOOOOOOOO....while you are wasting time reading this board...why don't YOU go work on a plan to do audits of the QA staff. And, since you want to be so informative...what happened to the QA manager who was recently hired and now is gone???????? Huh????
she will want to know the reason
I think your liason will probably be willing to move you to a new primary, but I would guess that they would want to know the reason why you want to move. Just explain it in basic terms in a professional way.
Is this the only reason you
are thinking you might not stay? I am thinking about applying, but I would like some input. It seems like it could be worth waiting for pay if it is stable and on time. It might be a wait for the first check, but after that pay would be twice a month, so it seems like there is something else that you don't like. Is the line rate good? Since you have had a week or so, maybe you could tell me what their dictators are like and if you get put on a bunch of accounts or just one. How about the platform, easy to use or not? Any information would be helpful.
