    That happened to me numerous times with numerous companies. sm
    I understand how you feel and what you are going through. I have been there myself many times. It is very frustrating. Keep your chin up and keep looking. There are companies out there where you can just do OP Reports, but you need to find them. Tomorrow will be brighter!

    It is exhausting, but you will find a perfect fit soon enough.
    She/they were emailed numerous times by numerous MTs
    Welcoming emails and actually responding to those emails are apparently two entirely different things.


    What does "sm" and "nm" mean?

    I have seen it for so long and still cannot figure out when someone posts and they have an sm or NM at the end of their post, what do they stand for?  Thanks. 


    The purpose of "nm" is so we don't have to look inside.-->nm

    FYI, the initials "nm" traditionally stand...
    for no message on this board...meaning no point in clicking on the message link...so if you have comments inside the link, you would be better off to use something different as your signature! 
    There is a message in the above post. Forgot to delete the "nm."

    numerous accounts
    Yes - I definitely have the same problem. I have a few different accounts, all with different styles (i.e. DO NOT number medications, number medications always, or number medications only if they say it). Stuff like that and it is very hard to keep them all straight...
    KS has numerous accounts on....sm
    many different platforms so I don't see how this question can honestly be answered. And there's no way of knowing which accounts they are hiring for until the time that you actually talk to the recruiter/HR.

    I also see how one MT will love a platform that makes another MT pull their hair out!

    So bottom line is, I don't think there is a definitive answer to the question!
    I see the numerous complaints on here
    This is pertaining to work, not my home life but pretty much of a recluse because that is how I like it, love being able to do what I want and when I want. People gripe on here about their companies. I like the place I work for, have no complaints. Most can say we are all in this together. Not me. Others can get lawsuits, try to hold MTSOs responsible for every little thing going wrong in their lives, have at it. Ok, I don’t really live for myself, I have animals around here also that I care for, how about that? Hubs is pretty special also but other than that, work is way down on my priority list.
    Numerous posts below and in the last few weeks.

    That is where numerous Spheris MT's are moving. They are getting a very
    There is message board made of Spheris employees, which now has recruiters from Webmedx on encouraging people to quit Spheris. Believe me, Spheris is no bed of roses, but going on another company's board is hitting pretty low.
    Precyse offshores, pay is based on numerous

    things - years of experience, shift, CMT, etc.   Pay is average. 


    I don't know anything about the other company.


     


     


     


    Heartland has lost numerous accounts before
    nothing new! I trained on new accounts and then was told that a) they went to India because they could keep up with TAT and b) they no longer have that account..... time to start looking!
    Scroll down and read the numerous posts over the
    last week or so.  Also dozens of posts in the archives. 
    YES! I will get numerous reports from the same ugly dictator

    8 times in one night -- these H&P's being 6 plus hours old, and each dictated with plenty of time in between, my knowing that there were other dictators dictating in between his -- so know that they have been holding them for me after the day shift gets off. They don't delay H&P's getting out for this many hours, so it is so very obvious what is taking place. I don't like companies manipulating the system for their favorites.


    I absolutely despise this practice by a company.


    Funny, I've been there 8 yrs and thru numerous new accounts sm
    and I'm STILL HERE WORKING FULL-TIME! I know last year there was a problem with hiring too many people before a couple of accounts started, but it isn't like that now.
    Numerous times I have been told our wages are lower because
    we are now competing with (almost third-world) countries, who think 2 and 3 cents a line is a LOT. Therefore, to stay competitive, we must now work for a lower wage.

    There are times there have been actual threats that we would lose our accounts, if we do not comply as hospitals would just take their accounts overseas.

    Leaves a lot of room for corruption, i.e., whether it is true the hospitals would actually go that route (I think they might, considering CBay and how huge they are) or whether it is the MTSO duping us into accepting lower pay.

    We are in a similar situation as in the 1800s (Funny you can almost substitute these people with 'MTs' and 'India', if you know what I mean:

    (From Wikipedia) ...between 1830 and 1850, as the Industrial Revolution gave way to the Second Industrial Revolution, sweatshop production of inexpensive clothing displaced members of the tailors guild, and replaced them with lower-skilled workers performing piece work at lower wages and in inferior conditions. The trend away from tailors was accelerated by the advent of a practical, foot-powered sewing machine in 1846.

    The terms sweater for the middleman and sweating system for the process of subcontracting piecework were used in early critiques like Charles Kingsley's Cheap Clothes and Nasty, written in 1850. The workplaces created for the sweating system were called sweatshops, and variously comprised workplaces of only a few workers, or as many as 100 or more.

    In the sweatshop of 1850, the role of the sweater as middleman and subcontractor (or sub-subcontractor) was considered key, because he served to keep workers isolated in small workshops. This isolation made workers unsure of their supply of work, and unable to organize against their true employer through collective bargaining. Instead, tailors or other clothing retailers, would subcontract tasks to the sweater, who in turn might subcontract to another sweater, who would ultimately engage workers at a piece rate for each article of clothing or seam produced. Many critics asserted that the middleman made his profit by finding the most desperate workers, often women and children, who could be paid an absolute minimum. While workers who produced many pieces could earn more, less productive workers earned so little that critics termed their pay starvation wages. Employment was risky: injured or sick workers would be quickly replaced by others.

    There you have it...Nothing will most likely be done until there is another type of revolution in this country.
    I have been down numerous hours this year due to storms. 3 times with mandatory

    There are probably lots of MTs still down due to Katrina and Rita.


    Don't believe weather can't impact your life in a big way.  Be prepared to know what your options are with your job.


     


    They can't afford to bother you. You are too busy toggling between numerous screens in

    typos on this board are to be forgiven, but new company's numerous errors and the picture they

    painted for our first impression of someone in whom we are required to put practically our entire life details in an email back to them left much to be desired in my opinion (by this MT).


    It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors
