Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Maybe we had the same co-worker? LOL!!!

In Reply to: A woman who went crazy - fatcat

When I was training in-house to be an MT, we had a woman who had worked there for many years. The hospital had just gotten new printers, HUGE contraptions with this big heavy plastic 'silencing' hood on huge hinges.

On day she was in a hurry to snatch something off the printer and the hinges were still tight from being new.

She lost patience VERY quickly, grabbed the entire plastic silencing hood off the printer, and threw it across the room.

I was temporarily a bit frightened, but everyone in the room started laughing so I figured it was par for the course for her.

Just to be on the safe side, though, I tried to stay out of her way when she was near anything heavy or sharp.

Ah, those were the days...I laugh about it even now!!!

How can I get along with my co-worker.

I swear, I usually get along with most people but this one is trying my nerves.  This lady did not get along with the other transcriptionists.  She claimed they made too much noise, their hand lotion smelled (even though it was unscented), they shook the cubicle too much, always a complaint.  So what the boss do? She moves me and the this whinny lady to a little office all to our own.  I wasn’t complaining.  Anyway, the only thing I hear out of this office lady is either bragging about herself or putting one of the other Transcriptionist down.   She does put atmosphere in our office.  I had to get up and go pee.  She gives me a dirty look.  I say “what.”  Then she says I have this psychiatric disorder that I have to get up and down too much.  Another complaint she had about the other office girls, they were in an out of the office too much, never sat still. 


 


Then, she starts complaining about this ESL she was transcribing for.  He is horrible, he needs to go back where he came from blah blah blah, I just chuckled a little.  SHE says “ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee.”  Then she starts in on how her neighbor in her apartment complex was making too much noise with his girlfriend last night.  I chuckled.  ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee. She had to walk further to her apartment.  I said why, she said “OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE HAD MY PARKING PLACE hospital employee.” Then she slammed something on her desk and went to typing.  I am sorry, I don’t know how to deal with this.


 

We usually have lunch together, although lately I have managed to back out.  She will embarrass me.  She happened to know “Dr. Bones”  (orthopedist) receptionist who was having lunch with his mom and pop.  She told mom and dad Bones that she transcribes for Bones and that Bones gets his left and right mixed up.  I don’t know why but that embarrasses me.  I don’t think she should be telling people that.  She will also stop docs in the hallway and talk about their dictation that we don’t have time for them flipping through papers, chewing gum or stuff like that.  Gosh, I wished one of them would put her in her place.  Thanks for letting me vent. 
Tto the IRS worker
Thank you. I have had a 40-year career in this business, have always played fair with my boss, with employees (when I had them) and with the IRS. I just have no patience with people who try to either work off the books or to cheat their employees. I say, good for the IRS! I hope you get them!
I have always been an early worker but now..sm
there is NO work and when it does come in it seems everyone is waiting like me to grab it and then there is NO work as there were only a few reports. I addressed these concerns only to be told I needed to be more flexible.
NIGHT WORKER

Thank you for the clarification.  It is apparent that one of two scenarios is happening here.   You are either charging too little of your client, undercutting all competition, or you are keeping too much of the profits for yourself!! 


Since you have direct contact with this client, why not train them to train the horrible, ESL, fast-talking dictator!!


BTW, I work the night shift, so the time I spend here is my own time, as if that is any of your business.


 


 


To hard worker
I was looking for the same thing and found it at Landmark. They have very high standards, are kind and decent people and best of all, they leave you alone to get your work done. In short, they treat their MTs with respect and like we are actually adults. I recommend them!
Can I e-mail a Transtech worker?
Can someone who works at Transtech post here so I can e-mail some questions that I don't want to ask on the board?
grow up weekend worker nm

Absolutely. Worker drones. However with this
These worker drones have Rah Rah capabilities. Most stay silent though and take it. The minority speak out and get dumped on. Sounds like some kind of controlling atmosphere and if so, there must be something to hide. I don't know, but I won't be a drone, for nobody nowhere, no matter how great people say they are!
Never met the offending office worker
Thanks for the reply. I don't know why she would alter my reports unless she is jealous that I work at home and she doesn't. That can be a big reason for lots of people to try to undermine those of us smart enough and trained enough to work from home. I do have any attorney who is interested in taking it on contingency and he mentioned about the HIPAA violation element. Still pondering whether to make a big splash in this small town.
That sure is a RUDE way to treat a co-worker.
Actions like that usually do.
Possible at Webmedx for very fast worker. NM

I would say yes - the worker agreed to the terms.
When hired and by continuing their voluntary working, the worker is agreeing to the terms.


That's disgusting, 1000 US worker versus 600
that I gave Transcend the boot a few years back during their difficult times. They were awful to work for, and now I know why. This was all hush hush back then and still now. We're not supposed to have the intelligence to read the newspapers, let alone find the news.  Backstabbers for sure, and one of the biggest games in town, when they always screamed they would never do this to us.  Yeah, right. Go Transcend India!! And they don't even have the guts to call us US MTs - we're domestics. 
Assimilate? What are we worker drones. Next thing you know
will only be given time to regenerate at the hive before we continue to assimilate others and continue to do the Queen's bidding. Is this perfection?
If you're a hard worker and a valuable MT, then yes it is
I have been there for 4 years and if I have ever had a problem (which is very rare), it has always been fixed RIGHT away.
I think your comparison is ridiculous and insulting. Try getting a farm worker's job and you'

I learned a lot about MTSO from her post..not a job for me every..I'm definitley a worker bee.

Someones credit has absolutely nothing to do with how good a worker they are.
There are more people now days that have low credit scores compared to those that do not. A lot of different scenarios can put you with bad credit like major medical bills.

I don't think people should be judged on their work habits by something that may be beyond their control.
lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make
