more appropriate.  As for enlightening us, what did she share other than they are nice and organized?  Woohoo ... that won't butter my bread.  Nothing about pay, which appaerntly is so pathetically low, they are  too embarrassed to admit to on here.


No thanks.  As the saying goes, I just got rid of my cow, so I don't need your bull.

Mary...email me if you can...sm

Let's put our heads together on this fight.
I sent you a private email.nm

send me a private email
I don't discuss this company on the board and you will find few who do.
Thank you all for private email and posts

Thank you all for the private email and the posts here.  Better to be informed.  I need to stay where I am for the time being.  Not ready to make the leap to voice recognition editing yet and, of course, other factors and problems that exist with All Type that I do not have where I am currently. 


Thanks again. 


What info is in that email that is confidential or private?

Fatcat...I sent you a private email earlier..sm
and am not sure you got it, but my basic question was that the jobs I am being offered are about 8 cents or 9 cents VBC as an IC or employee. After 30 years in MTing I hate to take such a paycut, but I don't want to be turning down jobs if that is the best I can hope for! In your experience in job searching was that about the rate you were encountering? You can email me privately if you like. Thank you!
I just wanted to let you know that I did reply to their email.
I basically said that I found it very unprofessional to not even put the name of the company in the email. I also told them that 6.5 cpl is a very low rate and I could not live on that and feed my child. I told them that with the amount of experience I have, that was an insult. I also let them have it about not paying for spaces. I was professional in my email, but I believe I made them understand that they are barking up the wrong tree and that their payment practices are an insult to all MTs.
I wanted to tell person who contacted me via email
that I absolutely do nothing to achieve more lines (money) than just keeping (as much as possible) the audio at fast a speed as I can and also I use my mouse when working. Supposedly you are supposed to be able to edit faster using combination keys but I did not learn, did not care to learn and mostly can keep up with the dictation (either VR or straight) as it goes so I just do not think I could make more even using the combo keys. I also do not give out where I work because to do so would probably be a swamping of the company and I would prefer to keep my job to myself as long as I could.
To Mary K
As far as I know this is still the USA and you do have the right to freedom of speech. No one can make you feel any way. You can choose to feel victorious and strong for having spoken your mind. You did a very courageous thing to speak your truth and I for one support you. You are a brave and ethical woman. I see no bravery or ethics on the part of Heartland. Or maybe we should rename them HeartLESS?
To Mary (sm)
Yes they are in the same area you mentioned. If you have been with a national in the past, this is different as everything has to come directly from the hospital and if they take extra time, there isn't a lot KS can do..I'd suggest contacting (can't say names here) but the director of client services, she is great!, and if there is anything that can be done to speed up the process, she'll find a way. By the way, I LOVE this account when its working! Good luck! sincerely,
KSMT
Good for you Mary! sm
I will keep an eye out. I hope that our voices are finally heard in this company. We've been anonymous for so long!
To Mary who responded by e-mail (sm)
Thank you.  I tried to send a brief message back to you at your e-mail address twice but it came back.  Thanks for the info. 
how can i find mary K article that everyone is talkign about?
s
I'm sure Anne, Sue and Mary are very offended by your comments...NOT!

Yeah Mary picky pants.
Made yourself look a little foolish eh?
mary, is there a very high amount of ESLs? nm
xx
Good to talk to you today, Mary :)
As some were wondering, I can say I talked to the company.  Very professional and very nice.  Work sounds great and they are organized.  I will let others speculate about the line rate  
To Mary K - I totally agree...I thought you wrote a

great letter and I hope you get some response to it on a national level..the public needs to know about this as is concerns THEIR medical records!  I applaud your efforts and hope something comes from it!



Jewish Hospital & St. Mary's in Kentucky has an In-House, days MT spot

Digital Dictation Services - MARY GLEASON, Stiff on Payment, BEWARE
This is a sole proprietor, who will let you try out for a couple weeks, and then stiff on payment.  She is all nicey nice in the beginning but look out, she will rip you off big time. Do not work for unless you like working for nothing.
P&G forced my sister to stop selling Mary Kay in her spare time...gotta SM!
This was years ago way before P&G even owned Revlon. It's not like my sister wore a white coat and created cosmetic formulas. She was a RECEPTIONIST!!! The Suits at P&G told her to make a choice because they didn't need an employee working for the competition...Give me a break!

BTW, the ONLY reason my sister even sold the MK was so she could get it 1/2 price.

Whatever you do on YOUR time is YOUR business!! (As long as no laws are being broken or ppl getting hurt)IMO
Thank you! Just wanted I wanted to hear!

PRIVATE?
Not these days. Many MTs are also MTSOs, so I wouldn't count on PRIVACY wherever you intend to go with this. As both, I would be willing to share what I know with my colleagues if I felt it was to their benefit. Multiply me by many and there goes your site of shame. Good luck to you too! Hope you can CYA sufficiently to avoid problems for yourself. You should be nicer to these MTs. They help pay your salary. Maybe MTs should do away with recruiters? Too many middlemen drive up the price and the providers would benefit from the absence of all the middlemen in all areas that try to get a piece of the action in their practices. Maybe without you all it would benefit the greater good. Something to think about, eh?
Maybe our cut was to buy them a private jet

Private..not
I meant to take out the name in ALL of the places. It is not a private e-mail. Every employee got this e-mail.

I have every right to warn people against working for an employer who BREAKS THE LAW. I have PROOF to back me up on everything I have said this company does!
Wow! I pay that much for my own private plan.

private insurance
My husband is trying to change careers so I went looking for a new MT job instead of being an IC since his new career takes 6 months for the insurance to kick in. We are going to check all our options but I believe we will go private instead of spending nearly $1000 a month on it
You can get a private policy for less than that and probably
better insurance too.   At that price I don't think they are absorbing any of the cost, so it really isn't a benefit.  
Get a private policy. You s/b able to get
a very good policy for half that.  Call local agents in your area and get several quotes. 
Have you tried getting a private insurer to
nm
You mean even on private computer?
z
Why not just get a private policy? Unless you have
pre-existing conditions you can get your own policy that may be cheaper than what you can get through work and then you aren't tied to a company for insurance only and you don't have to worry about a lap in insurance if you change jobs. 
Private group? Where?
Sorry, I know I must have missed something..haven't been here in a while. Is there a private TT group and where? TIA
Where is the TT private board?
has been down for 3 weeks and just saw the thread about it way down on the board.
private board
i've only been there about a year, but there is not one that i am aware of. sure wish there was.
I am as well. You can e-mail me private
if you like.
Boy, I'd be happy to take over that private account if you want to get rid of it!
   I'm sure that is not the one you'd want to get rid of though!!
Get private insurance. It is probably cheaper
and better than what company offers. 
Does anyone know if JLG employees have private groups or something? (sm)
See almost nothing in the way of posts on any other board.  Working there PT and would like to meet some other people from there.
Private equity firm in NY
Culbro LLC private equity firm in NY, is new partner for OSI.
I can get a private policy for a family
of 4 for about $400 and that is with very good coverage.   We have no pre-existing conditions though and no chronic medications. 
Ykes, I have a private policy and only pay $160/mo. nm

I'm an IC and have private Humana coverage
It's $99.05/month for just me. This includes $35 copay for dr visits ($50 specialist visits), $1535/55 Rx, depending on what level the medication is, $75 copay for ER visit. It's a PPO. The only really bad thing is that there is a $2000 deductible, but that's only if I have to be in the hospital and hopefully that won't happen. I'm 29, have never had a lapse in insurance and have no health problems though. You can go to ehealthinsurance.com and compare rates for private insurance if you're interested.
Is there an MDI private board? There used to be 1 long ago, but
I don't know if it still exists.  Thanks.
Does TransTech have a private board? NM

Marie/private counsel
I do have private counsel because I own a business. However, it is not at all necessary to use a lawyer for something like this. All she has to do is to to the IRS website, read the information about IC classification, and call the local office for an appointment. She should bring a copy of her contract (if any) with the company and just tell them what is happening. The IRS is pretty savvy and will likely take it from there. Many MTs feel powerless. There is really a lot we can do for ourselves. Many MTSOs will take advantage. (There are also many, many good ones as well.) My bottom line is that I myself would have my attorney or CPA make the call; but an attorney is not necessary for this. All it would take would be one report and the IRS would be on that MTSO like white on rice.
There is no private company board. nm

Jewish is the main hospital, St. Mary's is another hospital under their management. (nm)

There was a MT that was venting in regards to Transend on their private board sm
(it is automatically set up so if you enter you know who is posting . . name displayed)and the other employees and management was nasty as h++ so believe me I wouldn't post any thing on the private board negative. I have already resigned. I have a week left.
Just wondering if anyone answered the private doctor ad.....
and had contact?  TIA
