New to WMX...spinning my wheels

Posted By: elle on 2008-06-26
In Reply to: Current Webmedx people who came from MQ. Looking for comparisons. sm - SM

My first week: On Monday, transcription access not set up properly, same thing on Tues and Wednesday, on Thursday no work at all. On Monday afternoon I had 3 accounts, Monday night they gave me #4, Tuesday afternoon I had #5...on Wednesday they added #6. I have 6 accounts...why so many? And still no work?

Recruiter hired me for early day schedule. Manager says there's not usually much work in the mornings and I might want to work a different schedule, but that's up to me.

I'm not on Enterprise...maybe Enterprise would be less frustrating?

Anyone else having same or similar experience? Wondering if I should stick with this or move on ASAP...

Head spinning

I am pullling my hair out trying to figure out pros and cons of the numerous companies that are out there.  I have read through numerous posts and have found them very helpful. 


But, I have a few questions: 


Has anyone heard of NorthWest Mediscript?  I think it is local to my area (Pacific Northwest).


I hear LOTS of good info on Transhealth.  Anyone have anything to add to this?


I have seen very little comments regarding Webmedx or Windrix.  Any thoughts or comments?


Basically on these companies what is your opinion on how you have been treated?  Did you have plenty of work?  How did you like the platforms?  Were they flexible in terms of hours?  Were you bounced around from account to account and doctor to doctor or were you allowed to stick with a certain few and familiarize yourself with them so that you could become proficient at them?


Feel free to email me with any info.  Any pro or con would be greatly appreciated.


I think I will soon be taking the plunge and diving in and just start contacting companies that I have narrowed it down to. 


I tell you what, the mass of choices makes my head spin.


Already spinning 2 different stories, huh?
NOT a good sign. We aren't allowed to post such information on the boards, or I would cut and paste the portion of the email I received from them about how they have NO part-time positions at this time; all positions are full time.

Since I obviously have nothing to regain by misleading anyone about PT/FT status, and I'm sure you have no reason to mislead anyone about PT/FT status, this leaves me with the obvious situation - They are placating everyone until the final drop shoe drops.

Sad but apparently true.
my head is still spinning...nm

MT desperation is what drives the wheels of
India is such a cash-cow for them at present. Those people will work for next to nothing, under horrible conditions, just to put an extra scoop of rice on their family's plates.

I think the proper word for that kind of exploitation would be.....
'S-W-E-A-T-S-H-O-P'.

I think the peons who turn the wheels of the Big Business
engine should all take a coordinated (and unscheduled) fabulous few days off, and see what happens then.
