Who cares?
I can't even believe that all of you are wasting your time talking about how to spell the stupid word anyway. Don't you have something better to do with your time than argue about how to spell a word that really ISN'T a word? GET A LIFE!!!
WHO CARES
NM
NOBODY CARES!!!!
Enough already. Do you have enough work now? I am flooded with work for over 3 weeks now (not complaining, love it).
Who really cares..? I don't!!!. nm

who cares

17 yrs exp. and nobody cares
I'm so sick of seeing ads requiring mega years of experience in multiple specialties, working knowledge of various platforms and every conceivable toy already installed on your computer only to find out the pay is entry-level at best.
Here we go again … who cares? nm

Look out for #1, who cares about anyone else.
Sigh. Thank goodness our forefathers weren't as selfish as we've become.
Nobody cares where you work or what you think.

who cares if they are in india

i heard good things about them


But who really cares? Anyone that has been in this business
knows it takes awhile to get back to people!!!!! If every company came on this board to read their stats, it would be full of stats. Do we really want to see them? If we do, I urge Transolutions, Transcend, Medware, every company that posts to come to this board and say all this. Do we really want to know. The board would be full of statistics. Do we care? No!
CMT according to AAMT, who cares?
I attended the best MT school in my area in 1971. It was held in a very large medical center with a R.N. supervisor as the instructor for our medical subjects and an English/Business teacher who taught medical office procedures,health, etc. We saw autopsies, learned to give injections and take BPs. We did rounds with doctors during our internship. We worked in the field in this hospital in at least 9 different areas, doing medical transcription, and were graded by the department supervisor at the end of each term. This on-hands medical training gave us the absolute best when it came to understanding what what we were transcribing. At the end of the course, we were given CMT pins and diplomas and I have considered myself a CMT ever since, which is a heck of a lot longer than the AAMT has been in existence! I do not care about any list they have compiled nor do I care about a $300 test they give so you can become certified. That means nothing to me. I have my excellent training and over 35 years of experience, as well as my diploma stating I am a certified medical transcriptionist, and that is what I am.
really who cares if you have nothing to hide?
now if they are delving into your personal life then thats another story, thats just plain nosey. But a criminal background check is not a bad idea.
You know what everyone? Who cares if you're a CMT or not...
If you're good, you're good. If you're not, then oh well. I make $21 (yes, $21) per hour PLUS incentive, and I'm not a CMT. So there. Get over yourselves. My goodness.
So what noone cares about my opinion? I am still

Managment cares
The upper management, and I mean the administration, lets you know they really care and they admit that it is the MTs that are the backbone of the company. They let you know you are appreicated.
who cares if they're mgt ?

For the people who don't like what she does, guess what?  You don't have to work for her.  If you're tired of seeing her job ads, guess what?  Use your scroll bar and move past it.  But please, stop creating thread after thread about her company.  It's getting really old... and it's so pointless.


Who ASKED? And WHO CARES ..nm

who cares? Put your energy into sm
something else. If you have ever had a business you would know that the half that you think they are keeping is NOT their profit! They have to pay self-employment taxes just like you do on the money coming in, overhead, etc. Dont waste so much time worrying about it. You are gonna get an ulcer! GEEZE!
Well, good for you. Who cares if
fellow MTs can afford to feed their families with the lastest pay cuts, as long as YOU are doing fine.
If you think MTSO looks out for/cares for anyone

Who cares your opinion? Get over

who cares if its not a lot of money! You worked and

You should be paid. 


I let this go with a local medical transcription company.. only thing is I worked there (at the company) 5 days 6 hours a day and never got paid. I figured I gained experience and they weren't worth fighting.  I was just happy to be away from the place and the people who worked there.  I H-A-T-E-D that place.  In all honesty though, if they send me ANYTHING in the mail as far as taxes are concerned after not paying me.. something will be done.


clicks, cliques..who cares..nm

Who cares? Save the trees!!

If it does not affect your paycheck, who cares.....sm
If you can do as many lines or as much work as you want daily, who cares if you are on QA for 5 years. How they run that part of their business should not matter to you, unless you are limited as to how much work you get; thus affecting your paycheck.

I would not give a hoot if they kept me on QA for years, as long as I make my daily line requirement I need to survive.

Just my 2 pennies worth!! :-)


Who cares about punctuation and grammar?
With the doctors using EMR and VR without editing, these things are a thing of the past.  Medical records are a mess and nobody cares.
I put my email at the top up there and no one cares enough to write. They just want to complain
and tell untruths about this company. Some are a good fit, others not, but the things that I am reading are definitely not true. I would not worry about constant complainers. These people would not fit in anywhere and I am not upper management either nor am I lower management.
If anybody cares, here is my experience looking for a job for the past 3 weeks

One company writes and says they are hiring and will have a coordinator contact me to schedule testing.  I schedule the test.  She then writes that she will be out of the office and to reschedule with her when she gets back.  When she got back, I wrote her and never heard from her again about rescheduling.  That was a company that begins with the letter F + net.  Not impressed.


Now transcending that scenario, next company that begins with the letter T...I tested and was offered a position by recruiter only to then be told they did not have the speciality I was looking for after being assured they did before testing.  We both agreed to put everything on hold.  Later, she contacts me and points me to a job ad for another company offering the work type I was looking for (?) which was nice but odd but then goes on to say she is leaving herself at the end of the month.  Recruiters at companies helping you find better jobs at other companies?I'm not real impressed.


Now...the company that recruiter referred me to begins with an Arch and hardly any posts on them anywhere to be found.  They tested me and offered me a position to start ASAP on a new account...ASAP drags out 2 weeks and then am told contract negotiations fell through so no account.  I can do another account on a different platform if I want - hmmmm not what I was looking for.  Recap = offered a position on an account they didn't have.  Not impressed.


In the meantime, investigate going back to a company I used to work for that is unmentionable here - begins with a big M.  I used to work for them so I thought go back to my old account.  Three weeks, many e-mails and phone calls later I am hooked up with a recruiting firm they hired and they send me paperwork and schedule me for training.  I complete training last week and have heard nothing from production super as promised but I have received 3 phone calls today from recruiting firm asking me if I need to be scheduled for training (and 2 of those people have never heard of the third person who called me so I am left wondering who I gave my SS# to).  Tried corporate office - no luck - no way to contact anybody.  Recruiter who had me return my paperwork to her does not know if it was received because she doesn't handle that.  Hmmmm....TRULY not impressed.


Another inquiry with yet another company yielded a reply e-mail that stated there was a testing file attached.  Hmmm....no file attached.  Answered that e-mail and have heard nothing since.


What in the world is going on?  Are there truly any good companies left? They keep running ads and complaining about a lack of good MTs when the fault lies possibly, quite possibly, in their complete lack of professionalism that immediately sends up a red flag to prospective employees.  When they get their acts together maybe they will have MTs.


Sorry but I needed to rant!!!!!!!!!!!! 


She did not say she cares what happens to Transcend, just making her point.

re: She did not say she cares what happens to Transcend, just making her point.
And her point is?
And who cares if the owners are enjoying the profits???
It's their business anyway! Are you saying if you owned your own business you wouldn't enjoy the profits WHO WOULDN'T. Please. Keystrokes is a super company and the CEO, managers, co-workers, everyone is awesome!
I agree...who cares how she spends her money? (sm)

She personally worked with me over the last couple months to get me a solid backup account.  I don't know how many people who own companies who would take the time to e-mail one of her MTs several times back and forth to try to find a backup account for them.  Normally that is done by someone in the office.  But she really worked with me one on one.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate that and how it went a long, long way to convince me that I should definitely stay at Keystrokes.  It's communication and dedication like that that sets Keystrokes apart and makes them a cut above many other companies.


I strongly disagree; Transcend cares a lot for its employees
If you do not want to play the game, just ignore the e-mails. Or, you may find another company is better for you. No sense being miserable.
And if the owners are gamblers, who cares? I'm glad you entertain yourself.


Heck
They are probably glad you didn't apply too. Why do transcriptionists think they are constantly owed more than they get? Get up off your butt and work for it. It can definitely be done.
HECK NO!
Especially considering so many errors are subjective. There are a lot that are spelled out so that there is no question about whether there is an error or not; however, there are far too many that are ambiguous and/or seem to be based upon any particular QA or supervisor is editing or auditing. I've had many items marked for errors throughout my career, both as an MT and as a QA, that I've disputed and even shown proof of the descrepancies. These have not always been changed from errors to showing as correct.
I definitely wouldn't work for a company that does that - especially if they refuse to pay you for an entire report for only 1 supposed error! What a crock!
how the heck you do that
How come you so fast? what kind of work does TT give you?
heck, i don't even know what co. this is! nm

Now HOW THE HECK...

On the Seekers Board, Synernet is hiring RAD MTs.  On their website, they require 1600 lines/8-hour shift.  Does this include the RAD accounts?  And isn't this the company who offshores?


PLUS, how in the heck are we
supposed to decide whether to go PT or FT or bail, with this total lack of info? Not to mention, we don't know what wage we would be making, and they base their PT/FT status on how much MONEY you make in a pay period...screwy.
Well, heck...
I don't even work there and never have, and yet I'm irritated FOR you, lol!!!

Nothing grates on me faster than employers who brush off their employees' concerns the way you were brushed off, and that post of hers just muddied the waters even further. Of course, it's not a pay cut in the sense that they, for example, dropped you from 7 cpl to 6 cpl, but if they are not paying for something they previously paid for, I fail to understand how that is NOT a pay cut.

Maybe I need more coffee. Or maybe the post was intended to be ambiguous so as to not be incriminating, lol!!!

Anyway, you have my sympathies...both for the pay cut AND for having a boss that treats you like a nuisance when you have a concern!
Where in the heck do YOU get off!

Really, what IS YOUR PROBLEM????  If you don't watch it, GP will sue YOU for defamation of character!  That would be a fun countersuit to see. 


what the heck does your post even mean?
If you have something to say, please, say it, I can't read into posts like this...thanks!
what the heck is there to upgrade anyway on a DD?

What the heck is that all about. I was just asking QTer2 why she
now. I don't care or know what the managers do all day. I was just asking what she meant by her comment, that's all. Talk about junk...
No one job hops just for the heck of it. sm
Do you think we would job hop if we could find a company that paid well and treated us as valued members of a team?  Get real!  We only hop to find a job that will support a family.  Surely you can't honestly think it is just done on a whim.  And as an above poster stated, a company earns my respect and loyalty, just as I expect to earn the same from my employers. 
Heck yeah you can. If I can do it, anybody can!
A little new terminology now and then but thanks go Google and reference books, it isn't a big mystery for long. I like it because it is great to use with Expanders and allows one to have high count at end of day.
What the heck is a bad account?.....
When the first few days it is normal dictation, after that bad sound quality, mainly ESLs, slurred speech dictators, give me a break, you know what i am talking about, not a bad account, just the distribution of the work on the account. Are you a supervisor?
what the heck is a bad account?
Ok, I concede. Now for some help. Having 16 acute care experience, most in a hospital. Since you do 7 accounts, and I am not being a smart eleck, I am being sincere, how are you making any money? If I get mainly ESLs and they are new to me I find I have to go back and relisten when I am done to catch the blanks, or maybe I missed something. If there are sound quality issues most companies will not work it through with you so that is strike 2, also working mainly in hospitals I know this dictation is not first in first out but it seems to be consistent with nationals. I have to make a certain amount of money a month, am single (I would hate to be a single mother, I would cry every night in this profession anymore), but maybe I am losing the point. You don't seem to mind if that is the case with your 7 accounts (plus all the different account specifics), so give all of us some advice and maybe we will quit whining or getting out of the profession and make some money by how you are doing it. I stayed with 2 companies until I was living on credit cards and still working 16 hours a day, and not making enough money. If it is me, then make some suggestions as I am not alone.

I am sincere and you seem sincere.
