The program is theirs, the content is yours. It is my understanding that MQ will, or at least used to, help you to transfer over your content from another program when you are hired.

Hogwash, that test is a bunch of

yes, baloney, baloney, all lame excuses for weak grammar...nm

Hogwash.

This is hogwash. This woman
took the time to give a thorough interview. She worked with me when I needed help on their website and made herself available by phone as late as midnight when I had a problem with something on the website. Not many recruiters will take the time as this woman has done and I applaud her for that. I also know that she bent over backwards for me answering all my questions. I was referred to her by another applicant who received the same treatment from her that I did. These types of things are the very reason why I do not listen to most of what is said on these boards. I find out for myself but I know the type of treatment I received as well as a fellow MT.
King's english is hogwash. What Dr. do you know that
sda
That is baloney (nm)

Cut the baloney. I can tell you right now that every QA
I know works straight through a shift nonstop and that includes myself and all of us pull our weight in gold.

That kind of rationale is no better than what I see in the posts above. I have had plenty of experience having been a QA mgr as well and I can tell you, most do work more than 8 hours so I don't know who you have worked with, but if I work with them, they would not have a job. They would pull their weight and get paid a fair wage, just like I earn.
This is just so much baloney
I am having to move to a higher place to keep from stepping in it. The story just keeps getting more intriguing as time goes on. I have worked so many part time jobs on the side for various physicians and I have yet to have 1 single doctor take his billfold out. This is like as good as watching As the World Turns. Keep listening for more...
BALONEY
You just cannot do, confess.
Baloney.
.
That's baloney! I took me 5 weeks to get
my first check but was told 2 weeks when they hired me (as an employee).  They are NOT honest with their employees!  R U the QA person who thinks they walk on water?
keep up with the baloney. Folks sm
are not going to believe you no matter how much you protest. Just because a company says you make 98-99% doesn't mean they are checking.

Some of these companies aer as bad as the indian MTs they hire. They just let stuff go through and don't check at all. There is no way your quality can be taht good. Been in this business too many years and have seen the braggers like you and when they are actually put to the test you find out their work is not as good as they claim.

I would love to QA you stuff myself.
Need some cheese to go with that baloney?
What a transparent inside post!

Where is it defined what this board is for?

You say it is for comments on companies which is a broad definition but certainly includes the scope of commenting on poor BUSINESS practices -

And IF there WAS only one disgruntled (perhaps actually WRONGED?) employee, then that person's comment(s) would not have been able to snowball.

The company in question should have, a long time ago, attempted to address the complaints against them, you know maybe a BEER summit (hey it worked for those not paying attention)! Instead they appear to have escalated the situation and now it may spiral out of control.

I SAY BOTH SIDES TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND CALL A BEER (OR WINE) SUMMITT.

The ONLY PARTIES WHO WILL WIN HERE are the lawyers!!!
I can think of a few people I'd like to amputate the baloney from...
... present company excepted, of course. :)
Time for a baloney amputation
If they are only covering third shift and weekends, where has all the work gone? Having spent many many years in-house, I know while there is dictation on weekends it is less than through the week, and on third shift the amount that trickles in is negligible. So where is the stuff going that is dictated between 7 a.m. and even 7 p.m. M-F going, when the majority of dictation is done?
Forgot to say, the 3 cents line is baloney.

gentlemen, this is our phoney baloney jobs on the

line!!!


Sorry to mix my favorite pictures up here, but that really is a crock of it!  Look, when you tell the SEC you have a goal to increase your percentage of work being offshored, it has to do with the bottom line WITHOUT deference to who's on first (or second or third).  I had been willing to at least listen to Transcend, but when this load gets hauled in and dumped in front of me like I don't know the real deal, well, I know I can't be alone in thinking Transcend needs to back the truck up and leave well enough alone with its horn blowing. 


There is no way to win on this board if you are an MTSO.  Fair or not, that is the way it is.  The same way that corporations are bought and sold (or merged) everyday - IT'S JUST BUSINESS!! 


 


And yes, I won't be leaving a tip, 'cause I could... I could shut this whole resort down. Sir? I'll take my traveler's checks to a competing resort. I could write a letter to your board of tourism and I could have this place condemned. I could put... I could put... strychnine in the guacamole.


You all are a Sorry Bunch

Is it really that bad here?  I aint management, just a lowly MT, doin my job.  First day here on the boards.  All this negativity is certainly not helping the overall morale.  Guess if everyone would quit reading/talking bad about it all you all would be so much happier with your jobs. 


sorry bunch
oh we are sorry all right.. sorry we ever trusted this company....LOL
thanks a bunch
i just wasn't sure and needed to know my options in case the CTS becomes a real issue as we're fixing to go into debt for a new place.
Thanks a bunch
I used to work for Spheris before going to a local hospital.  I have seen negative stuff about lots of companies.  I really liked working for Spheris.  I would have stayed with them had I not needed insurance.  I appreciate you opinion.  It makes the switch a little less worrisome.  I am starting with Diskriter in a couple of weeks.
Wow! Thanks a bunch!

Yep and I got a bunch of really bad ones. nm
:
seems like a bunch of

foreigners on here talking about doing editing? Your posts are FULL of errors.  I am an American MT editor.  So, this is where all the jobs are going, and you all do not know how to even do the jobs at all, let alone the right way. 


 


Thanks a bunch!
I had the interview yesterday afternoon and it went great! There was a short test that I had to take over the phone and I got all the questions right.

All that's standing in my way now is the transcription test, but I've already completed it and sent it back. It wasn't too tough, so I think I'll be ok!
Thanks a bunch
for the info! I have 30+ years experience and am hoping they are not a company that only pays 6 or 7 cpl. Think I will apply and see. Thanks again!
Not a bunch. Same one. no msg

Thanks! This helped a bunch. I know have my
questions answered.
Although I didn't go through a bunch (sm)
I worked at my last place for about 8 years, but they started having so many problems, I had to leave, and I HATE changing jobs.  I got lucky finding TT on the first go-round.  I must say also that the people who complain about no work are the primadonnas who only want to type 1 account - their loss. 
What a bunch of retards..
x
Sorry but that is a bunch of bull. SM
How did you get on this earth? Were you not someone's child?

Your comments are totally ridculous, rude and disrespectful.
What a bunch of crapola
If I were you and I had told them up front I had no acute care, I'd have 2 words for them:  STUFF IT!!  You don't need that kind of treatment and there's a world of difference in acute care and radiology.  If you were transitioning from acute care to radiology there should be no problem but radiology to acute care is a whole different kettle of fish.
Add WebMedX to the bunch
Just heard back from WebMedX- add them to the bunch - anyone know anything about them?
Why not do it yourself instead of getting a bunch of people?
That is what I did, and I don't have to share any profit with anyone. It is somewhat hard to get accounts, especially right now though. What I did was I purchased a book called The Independent Medical Transcriptionist, and it tells you most of what you need to know. Good Luck!
I cannot and will not let a bunch of people sm
on an anonymous message board sway me for or against any company.  I speak directly to the recruiters, MTs working for these companies and find out the facts.  Then I make a decision.  Pro and con on this or any board makes no difference to me at all.  If I make a bad move, I get out of there fast.  I will know in 1 week whether or not I'm going to make any money.  As you obviously have found out, taking notice of what people say here leads you down bad paths.
You have been most helpful. Thanks a bunch.


You helped all of us worker bees with your information.  I decided I really don't want to work for a company who offshores anyway.  It's like aiding and abetting a traitor. 


That's a personal preference and not meant to rile or judge you or anyone else.  We are in dire times, and we all have to take care of ourselves and our families the best we can.


This board is a life saver.  I take my hat off to all those who answer questions and provide useful information.      


 


I may be the turtle of the bunch,
but I cringe when I see what else is in the system from my co-workers' prior documents! (same scenario as you describe)

I really wonder how some people even get hired??!!
I can do a whole bunch of lines but
my company never ever gripes about how many (in my case) I do or don’t do. I know we probably have a set amount (don’t have the number in front of me right now) so I guess I am ok on that point. Never worked at any place in the almost 40 years I have been working that had issues with the amount of work I did, in fact just the opposite, told before did too many and also told made too much money at another (only 2 MTs for a 200+ bed hospital).
s/l Amphion to me. Great bunch and then some!!
Bless them:)
They are a wonderful bunch of people!! However,

having said that....... unfortunately, the pay is extremel low for QA.  I do not know what it is for MTs or even if they have US MTs.  The work is plentiful for QA and pretty darn easy.  BUT, even though it is easy, 2-3 cpl for full edit is just really not worth it.  You really have to bust your bum to make any money at all. I don't mind working hard (believe it or not :)) but you can't kill yourself for peanuts or you would be better off working for Old Navy.


Hmmm..I think a bunch of us are waiting...nothing yet.

Bunch of posts about Focus on pg 2 here, near the top and then down a few
s
Pay is a bit low, but great bunch of people. sm

Clinic work is super easy -- 7 to 7-1/2 cpl -- and I think acute care pays 8-1/2 cpl.  They pay once a week, direct deposit, work is done in Word.


Hope this helps.



 


Can some TTers e-mail me? I have a bunch of ???
about time sheets and so on.  TIA. 
What did you want to know? Nice bunch of people. nm

Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me
who cares what other trades are doing. Those guys make plenty of money in construction. These days MTs are lucky to make $15.00 hr and then have to work like sweathogs to get that!!!!
nm, i must have been doing something wrong, now there's a bunch, thanks! more coffee.....
..
This company is run by a bunch of idiots
It took them 6 months to realize that I didn't work there anymore, even after telling like 20 different people that I had quit!
Is this the company that laid off a bunch of
MTs at Christmas and sent the work to India? 
A few apples try to spoil the whole bunch but cannot...sm
I am happy with FN and say it with pride. Every situation is not always a good fit for all parties involved. Had I listened to all the negative energy exerted on this board about 95% of the transcription companies I would not have never had a job with any company. When YOG was still in existence people complained about Carol and she was crazy, she was this. Guess what, never had a problem with her, paid on time and made plenty of money. My problems came when MQ took over. Needless to say had a wonderful working relationship with Rita, April and many others then and it's still the case now.

If you took a vote, the people happy with FN would far outweigh the unhappy ones.

It's over, move on and find another job.

Take a look at the person looking back at you in the mirror, trying fixing yourself first, and find some peace and happiness within self. Then and only then will things really start to fall into place.
Bunch of whining ladies
Andrea Renner does not care about postings here, she thinks the moderator will remove it! Seems she considers hard working participants here as bunch of whining ladies!
