    Good grief people....
    If I could make a list about all that has gone wrong at MQ within the last 2 years, I would be her forever!!!
    Just because people are super nice, doesn't SM
    mean the company is so great. Everyone at Spheris is real nice too, but don't think you would like working there.
    Same here...super-nice group of people (nm)
    .
    Great place. People are super to work sm
    with and answer your questions, etc.  Pay well and always on time.  If I ever work at home again, I will go back there first.
    Good reference here
    You're absolutely right, this board is a good place not only to vent, but to get the scoop on the companies out there. Sure some people are just going to be venting on here cause they got fired or couldn't make it but if you weed through those you can pretty much get the idea on others. This is a great resource.
    Can anyone recommend a good reference book
    for radiology. I just started on a rad account in training. I love it so far but would like a good radiology terminology book that especially contains terms for MRIs and CT scans. ALso, can anyone tell me what the average rate is per report for radiology? Thanks!
    I agree, it's a good general reference...
    but be careful because everything you read on here is not totally correct... I would say not even in the 80% correct range.  There are several companies talked about on this site that I have personally worked for and I have seen posts regarding them that were not correct at all -- like the platform used, pay, IC or employee, hours, etc.  Also, many people will post bad comments here simply because they do not want new MTs coming on their account and taking their work .  So, yes, it is good for general reference but by no means totally honest.  I think a good indication is when you see multiple posts stating the same issues about the same company.
    good grief!
    Can y'all take the checks that don't clear to the District Attorney (hot-check department)? Seems like there should be some measure for justice available other than private attorneys.
    GOOD GRIEF :(

    Good grief
    I made $12.75/hour when I worked for them in 2003. So 3 years later and the starting salary is lower while the cost of living is significantly higher?! I think it's time for me to go back to school and start a new career.
    good grief - w2

    Good grief!
    Now we have MTs trying to talk other MTs into quitting, when it's apparent some just need a small nudge to do so? I'm sure DRC/Acusis will appreciate that. Yeah, right. You're doing the company no favors, you smug fools.

    As for the ones who claim they ALWAYS get their keystrokes, I want to know how you're doing this when the work is not there. Are you saying they are holding work especially for you while leaving the rest of us without work? How many hours are you sitting at your computer waiting for work or do you have a life? Bragging that you are getting work when others are not is not helpful or real smart, either.

    I'll wait for the company to explain this and hope for the best.

    Oh good grief, not again
    exaggerations and lies, all the time. Makes me sick.
    Good grief!
    Never let it be said that us MTs are mature, reasonable people willing to let the other guy get a break.  Why can't somebody just answer the poor person's question about insurance if they know the answer and if they don't just butt out.  It is none of your business if somebody wants to have IVF. If you want to stop insurance companies from paying for it go write a letter to the Mr. Bush.  He is very concerned that medical services be available only to the rich so he would love to hear from you. 
    All I can say is - GOOD GRIEF - sm

    CHILL OUT



    It was a typo - 70% of base rate. I was typing too fast and thinking of something else. I'll stick with the rest of my post, thank you very much!


    Good grief...
    She was just trying to maybe help some newbie out. Now she knows. Next time someone has a tip they may be afraid to post and someone who could have used it will miss out. OP was told it was a scam and was like oh okay. She didn't defend the company.
    Good Grief

    Oh here we go...


    Yeah, I must be a real loser because I like my job. Imagine that. Maybe you should do a little self reflection if you are choosing to spend your time making pointless comments just to be rude.


    Good Grief!

    I am sure the moderator will move the word question when it is seen.  It's not like the world is coming to an end if someone posts on the wrong forum.   It's only one question not like they asked questions about an entire report. 


    Geez go enjoy the 4th of July weekend and chill out.


    Oh, good grief, where is your mother? lol
    Grow up. Must be terribly frustrating, being so infantile.

    Use your head, good grief
    You should think of payroll as Monday because it IS on Monday. They never claimed you would get paid before Monday. Just because it hits your bank before then does not change the pay date. Mine usually comes in on Saturday afternoon about 5:00. I obviously don't know if it will be different this time or not, but I never count on that. I can't afford to bounce checks, so I do absolutely nothing about paying bills until it is in the bank.
    Good grief...you need a life

    Good grief its just 1 hour more a day

    If one more hour a day is really going to kill you, well, I feel bad for you.


    I think the entitlement issues I'm seeing here are from long-time employees that are used to having things a certain way, and any change sends them up the wall.  But try to put this in perspective when you look at the chaos that other people are going through at other companies.


    Seriously, working 40 hours to get benefits is pretty much universal in all industries.  Its not as unreasonable as y'all are making out.  When we acquired Chartmatrix, its what THEY were working to get benefits.  This is another leveling of the playing field that came with the merger.


    I think though, that in this economy we are lucky to have jobs.  If our employer has to do away with a few perks, it beats a layoff or having the company close.  It certainly beats having our insurance become unaffordable.  I have no axe to grind because I still think Webmex is paradise compared to some of the places I've been.


    Good grief, take a Xanax.

    Oh good grief leave her alone. sm
    There are some of us, myself included, who don't give a rip whether they send out anything for MT week, contact us about MT week whatever.

    Do you really think they are sending out pens, cups, shirts, etc because they really appreciate you? They are doing it because the whiny MTs expect it and they don't want the backlash, that and the fact that THEY get a tax write off for it.

    If your self-worth in this business is based on getting a pen or a cup once a year from an MT service, then you have been in the business too long!
    Good grief! I am not an MTSO either sm
    but why is it any of your business what the MTSO charges? Whatever they charge isn't going to get you any more money. They pay what they pay. Why worry yourself about it.

    While I think many MTSOs ARE taking advantage of their MTs, if I wanted to make more money, I would (and you could to) get my own accounts and charge more.

    When you hire someone i.e. a plumber, carpenter (example) or whatever to do something for you or buy something from them, do you investigate into what they have paid for their supplies, etc? No different. WHO CARES! Put your energy into something more productive!

    What the MTSO charges has nothing to do with whether you are going to be able to pay your bills at the end of the month. All you have to be concerned with is whether you have any work to do or not, just like the rest of us. Also, you don't know whether the equipment is paid off, expenses etc. WHY DO YOU CARE AND WASTE SO MUCH ENERGY WORRYING ABOUT IT? Put your energy into getting an extra job if you need it.
    Good grief!! Glad I just sent them
    an email telling them I was no longer interested in testing as I will not work for companies that offshore USA work. No wonder the person didn't sign their name. Probably too long to spell! LOL!
    No MT experience needed for test, really. Just good reference materials.

    that is so childish....don't yell!! good grief.

    Oh good grief. A half a cent here or there does
    not make you go from barely scraping by to RICH. It helps, but it's not that big of a difference. It's just incentive/bonus. Please get a grip.
    good grief, you made your point. sm
    It seems to me 12-13 is better than minimum wage. Find a new company that pays more than 7 cpl OR as they tell us type more per hour (which is impossible most of the time I know). My point is, this profession is the way it is, it isn't going to change so you live with it, work around it or get into a new profession.
    Good grief? I made 2 posts.
    Sorry that it bugs you that someone may have a differing opinion. That does tend to happen on forums though. Funny that you don't say good grief to others that have posted multiple times to this thread. Just to me. I thought the point of a forum was to carry on conversation, but guess I am just allowed 1 post per thread. Got it.

    While $12-13 is better than minimum wage, it is not enough to justify giving up my weekends and holidays for. Guess you didn't really get my point after all.

    I have been looking for a new job, by the way. The fact is that all I am getting are offers of 7 cpl, even from companies that require evenings and weekends. As I said, I don't mind working if I am paid accordingly, but I am not going to take a job at 7 cpl that requires me to give up my life. My time is worth more than that to me.
    Oh good grief. They just published their financial reports and
    are 100% OUT OF DEBT. They can't file bankruptcy if they don't owe anyone!

    It's part of their digging their way out.

    You're grapevine must be in the imagination or just another speculator like yourself.

    How ridiculous.

    LOL!! DVD player for staying more than one week!!!GOOD Grief!!!
    Must be really awful!!!
    Not basing that criteria on a job application...Good grief! nm
    s
    Geez maneti (In other words good grief)
    Whoever this person is (NotGood) you definitely need to re-read the initial question asked in this thread. But this time when you read it make sure you stop and understand exactly what is said. You evidentally work for MQ or the company or a company that makes/programs the Expander software at MQ!!!!! Whatever it is you need to understand what was asked. Almost every company (at least the vast majority of them) uses a different software platform. Every time you use a new platform you have to re-enter your expanders. This is a huge pain in the rear to MTs, especially those with VERY EXTENSIVE expanders. We do not want the stupid platform that we have been using but we do want the Expanders that WE entered into this platform. There is a way to back up/copy your expander file (in every single platform used). And I can guarantee you that if this MT doesn't get any help from Tech Support to help her copy these expanders or even print them out then she will figure it out with the help of other MTs that understand what she is asking for. Get it through your thick little skull - WE DON'T WANT YOUR PROGRAM!!!! WE WANT WHAT WE CONTRIBUTED TO THAT PROGRAM AND THAT IS OUR EXPANDERS!!!! Now with that being said - I really hope you have a good day. Smile!!!!
    And yet YOU fuel the fires. Good grief, practice....

    This was Monday when they contacted me. I realize it's the weekend. Good Grief! nm

    GOOD GRIEF -Love my company/account, Hate MedRite! Any help?
    I love the company I work for, pay, schedule, account.  It has it all.  But they use MedRite.  This is awful!  Was this actually designed for an MT?  This is complicated, SO much mouse-clicking, and so SLOOOW - I am boring myself to sleep.  Typing is easy and quick but moving from report to report - Good Grief!  Is there anyone who has used this?  Are there any tips you could give me? 
    I got a cookbook from M_ and I don't cook.
    I could have used some jewelry or cologne or a gift certificate.  They sent me The Frugal Gourmet.  Guess 2006 is gonna be skimpy.
    God forbid the poor poster made a mistake by posting on the wrong board!! Good grief!

    Good company, great people, good benefits.
    Affordable insurance. Good luck!
    A slip of the finger? sm
    It required thought to ocopy and paste a resume and personal information. That's no slip of the finger; it was irresponsible.
    I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people

    I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 


    I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 


    There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments


    Giggling at middle finger LOL

    Hey - pull my finger... there's YOUR bonus. ha nm
    .APRIL FOOLS! Just kidding - really I don't care what you think. All I did was answer some basic questions, not offer a blooming thing in regards to using me as an MT bonus reference.
