No inconsistencies. Were you there?
Okay then, Scribe. ExpressScribe is the sound file and Scribe is the text document that we type in and that is the platform. I wish people would stop trying to tell me no one told me to get Vista. I was there. The person who hired me said that their platform was compatible with Vista even though it is a new platform. I reiterate that I had never heard of Vista before my lead suggested it. I would never have bought it had I known anything about how much of a headache it is. I have only used XP and that is what I felt comfortable with. If someone would let me know where to buy a new computer with XP, I would love to know because I have contacted Circuit City, Best Buy, Amazon.com, Costco, and even E-Bay, and no one has a new computer with XP.

As far as my barking dogs. I never expected a phone call from them at that time. They gave me no notice. I didnt't call them. They called ME. I put away all my dogs but only after pleading with her not to hang up on me. Of course barking dogs aren't professional, but neither is calling with no notice. If you heard her tone on the phone to me, you would have to agree it wasn't professional either.

Also, why did the first technician work with me for so long the first week trying to get my Word 2007/Vista to work? Why did they knowingly let me start with Vista if they would have told me otherwise?

You go ahead and ask the woman computer tech (to remain anonymous here) why she said Geek Squad was a HIPAA violation. Why would I make that up? I would have been VERY happy to call Geek Squad instead of suffer her wrath and humiliation over the phone. I dare you to call the lady technician back and ask her to call me back and tell me she didn't say that about Geek Squad yesterday. I dare you.

Talk about inconsistencies.
How much maximum vacation can you get
working at Webmedx. Thinking of applying but need to know about paid vacation days. I believe you get 10-11 the first year but I'd like to know how much vacation you get maximum after a few years. TIA
IRIDIUM inconsistencies

Iridium has rules that NEARLY everybody follows.  Two main ones are you only do your preferred pool and you don't suspend work.  One person specifically continues to do work NOT in her preferred and to suspend work that is NOT in her preferred.  AND she appears to get away with it as it happens nearly daily.  Below is a post on this board by that person.  There seems to be a lack of teamwork on her part, which she so vehemently was excited was present at Iridium. 


It may be time to start job hunting.  It is so hard to have any trust in management when there is a favorite or 2 who is allowed to not play by the same set of rules as the rest of us struggling to get lines and have some money in our paychecks.  This company has sure not lived up to its promises to transcriptionists at all. 


Not that I have to explain

myself  to you I will respond.  I decided to join Iridium 4 weeks after I was contacted by them.  I also was told that Iridium outsourced, which was the reason for my original post.  I would never work for a company that outsourced and I wasn't going to jump ship before I had some information.  I worked on the account for 8 years at my previous employer, and like most professionals give notice of their intention to leave.  I left my previous employer with the understanding I would be transcribing the same dictators, which has NOT happened.  I have one, and that decision came from the account administration because it was the DOCTOR's choice.  Do you feel shafted by everyone that started working after you because you were there first, or do you just have something against me?  So much for the teamwork I keep hearing about, and how great everyone is.  Maybe next time you'll reveal your true identity so I can respond to you directly.


 


Deception seems to be everywhere. There was an article about a trucking cm

company that set up a dummy office in another state to license its hundreds of vehicles there to avoid paying taxes here where apparently it is higher.  I know it is not MT, just seems like Corporate America (or Corporate India) is packed with liars everywhere. 


As far as the MT part goes, I would be tempted to contact the clients and ask if they knew their work was going to India, but then I suppose that could set you up for a bunch of lawsuits.  Still, it would not hurt my feelings if they somehow ended up losing their accounts because of all of this deceit.


Use the ESP/expander file to the maximum. Also...sm
you can utilize the AutoCorrect in Word at the same time, but since I'm away from the platform right now I don't remember how that is done. However, I found the manual for it at the following website.
https://admin.ichart.com/notices/idc3/whatsnew/ExText%207.5%20Admin%20Guide.pdf

Email me privately on Monday and I'll tell you the command for allowing AutoCorrect to work with the ESP. Then put as many abbreviations in each program and use it to the nth degree. It will really help a bunch! Good luck!
You have too many inconsistencies and incorrect info in your posts. sm
Keystrokes does not use Express Scribe; they use Scribe. Completely different things. You cannot have Vista and no one in IT or anywhere would tell you otherwise.

Barking dogs? I would have asked you to put them away too. That is not professional.

Geek squad a HIPAA violation? How? I just called IT and asked them if I should call Geek Squad about a problem I am having with my PC and they said that would be a great idea as it is my computer that is having the issue (virus I think).


Four Seasons Transcription and Robin Hall...a tale of deception and duplicity. sm

I went to work for this company in November. I was assigned two large hospital accounts in Canada. After a few months, she lost one of them. She had to let go all of the MTs and editors she had hired to work on that account but asked me to stay because she said I was her best Editor and highest producer. I did. Everything rocked along for a few months without a hitch. Then my paycheck starting arriving late, at first a week, maybe 10 days late. But I was cool with that and didn't complain. Then one paycheck was weeks late. I contacted Robin and she told me that my bank was rejecting my direct deposit because my account had been closed. So I argued with the bank back and forth for weeks. They maintained that no deposits had been attempted. By then I was 2-3 paychecks behind. She continued to insist my bank was rejecting the direct deposits. I asked her for proof from her payroll company (rejection notices) but of course they never materialized. By August 1st, she still owed me 4 paychecks and I told her I could no longer donate my time and services to her cause. Throughout this time, she steadfastly stuck to her story that the hospital had not paid her, ergo she could not pay me. I've been in contact with a few of her current employees and know she's paying them (though late). As far as I'm concerned, this woman is nothing but a common thief. She stole my time, my experience, my talent, and my trust. I'm posting this because I'd like to save some other trusting soul from this same fate. I have no idea how this woman can lay her head on a pillow every night and actually go to sleep. A pox on her!!!
