Ya, but it's not a spelling error, it's a grammar error!
Get it?
ERROR....
I posted the above asking for information about Transform, Inc. and said they were located in Wisconsin.   I made a mistake they are located in Missouri.  Thanks.
error sm
supposed to be hire not high resistance....darn expander!
Not a lot of room for error

If you know the BOS 2.  Then apply.  If you don't.  Do not apply.  A very strict MTSO to work for. 


Then what you said in your first post was in error. sm
You specifically said, and I quote *The American Medical Association allows foreign nationals who practice in this country to join their association and nobody thinks a thing of it.*  That was an error then, right?  Because they are certifying and allow members from other countries, who have driven the working wage down and taken our jobs.  That is the reality.  Did you see where union workers are very angry about the illegal aliens. Why do you think that is?  Do you know that it is projected if the illegal aliens continue to flood this country, the minimum wage will never be raised.  Illegal aliens and offshoring benefit the greedy employer and the rest of the work force are punished for it.  I'm so happy you can be so magnanimous about it.  If you are certifying members in INDIA, PAKISTAN and TIMBUKTU, you should take the name AMERICAN out of the name of the association.  Period.  Full stop.  End.
you DO get an error message BUT

you can just bypass it.  it says that you are not connected so it cannot get rid of your job but just click cancel and when you connect it will get rid of the jobs.  it is the voice files it is trying to dispense.


Good luck with your Grandma!!


Now here's a spelling error!
foreing?
Your post has an error....

If you do not proof your email when I applying for a job, how do we know you will be more careful when transcribing?


Does that include the recruiter proofreading a post on this board?  I see an error.  What gives?  I know you are not an MT, but can you find your own error?  


I would have to assume that works both ways.  Have a great day!


That's not the only problem they have. I get more error
messages and downtime from that crappy program than I spend working. Nothing is user friendly and its always one excuse after another why it can't be fixed.
that would be **** chained*** error n/m

My math error, sorry. sm

But it is not for me, I don't want to do 2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour,  for 7.5/lines for $150. bucks.  Burn out.  Nobody should have to work like that to make a living not with the junk dictation.


but ya all go ahead..


Got it all figured out!

I think I will be better off getting two physicians to transcribe for than working for a company. All these nationals are making BIG profits off of us. Most of them I am finding do not value their MTs. Any comments fellow MTs?
Thanks, I figured as much.

Figured it out
i know now, the Mountain Region
I figured it out
 now know how it works.
I just figured it out -

I don't know why it did not dawn on me sooner what is happening.  I work on a tiered pay plan - at my top tier I was making darn good money; however, there is never enough work anymore to get there and the supervisors tell me that they have to have extra people to make sure we get the TAT done.  However, I am losing over 5 cpl because I cannot get up there now (due to lack of work, not due to my lack of trying). 


I just realized, if we are doing the same amount of work just spread out between more people, they are paying less money per line, but still getting their big bucks - so where is their incentive to keep me happy?  Never mind that I have always busted my butt for them, that they could always call me for stats even when I was not scheduled to work; never mind that I worked weekends when I was a M-F scheduled employee. 


The bottom line is, the lines are scarce because doctors are not dictating as much, so they are going to keep as many people busy as they can so they pay out less on their end -


MAKES ME SICK!!! 


That's about what I had figured.
When I left one MTSO 4 years ago they were trying to force me into VR with the promise of tripling of my production to offset the 50% cpl reduction.  So, see, it would actually be a raise!  Win-win!  It sounded fishy then when I knew nothing about it, and fishier now that so many people actually have informed opinions.  Thanks for sharing that. 
750 lph on VR? I figured it was something like that
The people who go fast on VR are the people like the one who said she did 750 lph. She is familiar with the dictators and perhaps the hospital and therefore is not slowed down by demographic verification, difficult dictators, etc. She perhaps started at the hospital when straight typing and then transitioned to VR. That is not representative of the rest of us.
If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Sorry, error made here and I meant to say
it was NOT as much as I first thought. Sorry :)
QA error values survey...
I am just curious and trying to get a randomized answer regarding error values when an editor/QA/QC audits reports.  For example:  Major medical error has what point value, minor English error has what point value, etc.  Also, if you don't mind stating what company this is or was for? If you would rather email me, you are more than welcome.
Subtle way of correcting her error. I like that.
nm
The e-mail I got didn't say anything about an error. If
there was an error why not just say so and tell us what it is and put our mind at ease.   The email Thursday assuring us the money would be in our accounts by the end of the day or checks overnighted to us shouldn't have been sent when they know it wasn't going to happen.  Not e-mailing us first thing Friday to tell us what was going on didn't help things.  I'm fairly new so I'm not in panic mode yet, but then my bills are paid and my cabinets are stocked.  I do think the situation has been handled poorly and for top management not to address the situation is irresponsible.
Mine didn't say error either
This is the part that is so unsettling for me too.  And the fact that the human resource/payroll person doesn't even know what is going on and the fact they will not let her know what is going on is what is unsettling for me.  If they would just come right out and let us know what the heck is going on, then I would be a little more at ease.  But, no one is saying ANYTHING.  However, supposedly the money is there.......
I guess it depends on what your error was.

Yes, they do. So sorry to have made an error and forced you to have (sm)
to take your time to correct those of us who are not perfect.


If one dares to point out an error a QA
made, one might just quit because she will make your life really nasty, especially when she's the supervisor's friend.
And this does not only apply to Axolotl. It happens everywhere.
I figured it would look rather "stupid" with 1 job!
I have to beef it up! Easy read, though!! Oh well. Thanks for the help.
I figured as much which is why I would not apply
for the position.
Figured this out about 3 weeks ago
on a Word document - I know counting program Word is not always accurate -  but figured it would at least be fairly consistent for the document I was counting 3-4 different ways... bottom line was 15.5% reduction if you do not get paid for spaces.
I think i figured it out...at least a big part of it
They overhire and run out. They lose their good MTs to steadier places and can't meet TAT. Then they start the process all over again. I would not be at all surpised if they have lost accounts because there is some serious mismanagement happening. They need some better coordination and scheduling procedures. I left a few months ago and actually have work everyday now. :)
Thanks, searching, I figured that must be why. nm

Well sounds to me that you have figured it out on your own. sm
I think that if you need to be home with your daughter and don't need benefits and your husband is okay with it, take the job. That is not bad money. Hopefully, the drive is not far from where you live. Good luck.
Uh-oh! I figured that was the case

Thank you for the info!    Just not what I was hoping to hear. 


Thanks. I figured as much. I have my resume
xx
I haven't quite figured out what to do sm
myself yet. In the same boat as everybody else, but tired of testing, hiring and then the job blows up for some reason. I am ready to just quit and go do something else, although I don't know what!
From what I just figured, I would have made
over the past week by the way this averages out approximately $170 for 1 day, $180 for 2 days and $190 for one day for myself if I were paid that way for VR and straight.
I just figured out the reason for the pay cut (sm)
They need to gather funds in time for this year's Christmas gift: The Second Annual Remarkable Wedmedx Cookbook, complete in PDF version! perfect format for printing at home! 'And we allow you to use your printer now--see how good we are to you?'
This was in ERROR-was referring to Trans Tech!
This post below was in error. I thought you were referring to Transtech - all of the same applies, however, great company (Trans Tech) pay on time, etc etc:)
She didn't make 1 spelling error that I can see.
nm
Not the Op, but do you not see a simple grammatical error in your post? nm
.
It all depends on the percentage of the error assessed.
I have worked for a couple of companies who charge an extremely high amount of points for punctuation errors.  If this is the case, one can definitely dip into the 80s with punctuation errors.
That is heard, not heart. Must be a subliminal error!
nm
YES it requires more, well-know 50% med. error rate in hospitals nm,
. We have much more to know and keeping educating across the board than most medical people as we cross across ALLL medical/surgical specialities and related disorders/meds/products etc that go with them
I figured they were growing, hadn't
ever seen them advertise until fairly recently.  Makes sense to me, usually if a company grows they have to hire more workers.  Haven't heard of anyone complaining of not having work.
If I figured on the same document why would this matter?
,,
Figured with research and networking somebody would know.
Of course I don't expect someone to answer me and tell me one specific company who absolutely has the best benefits.  Maybe I should have worded that differently.  I just figured someone would have some suggestions.  Thanks for the advice on the private insurance.  I may just end up doing that because out of three companies that I have spoke with the insurance is expensive and not worth it.
This is too funny! Yes, you've figured me out.

I'm the MTK serial killer.    Lock your doors!  Hide your keyboards!  I'm coming for YOU!


You're overreacting a bit, dontcha think?


Me, too. I figured it cost me about $1k a year to keep sm
it up. I had CE's out the yingyang. I miss going to the physician's lectures, but that's about all. It was a good run for a while.
Yes, and also figured into that is the loss of benes,
sick days, PTO, insurance, etc., that you would get with employee status.
I once saw an Indian error where he/she changed the name of a famous street
which was mentioned in a report, just because he/she didn't realize it was a street name. The Indian MT changed it to say something real romantic and inaccurate, like The patient was on the street where the lovely sun sets. It took me just a moment to realize from the context that the dictator just mentioned the street name, Sunset Blvd. No way an American would change that!
