I received one also, and in now way will I sign the darn thing either.
I do believe they are worried about the line counting method and "conversion methods" they use to calculate your line count. For now, it is "hearsay", (don't know if I spelled that right), but may come to fruition in the future with proof and hard evidence.

That is all I know right now!
And the ability to hold mandatory meetings and not say a darn thing! nm

Shouldn't mention names. It's one thing if they come here and embarass themselves by name. nm

Thanks for playing our game!
And all you get is this lousy :) icon

Then instead of playing their game, just come out

If you think LT is playing slots, you don't know her at all. sm
Now go crawl back in your hole. Obviously you have nothing better to do than spout lies. At least we all get a laugh.
If you like playing telephone tag after all that, I didn't. nm

Not playing devil's advocate but something
...is that companies don't have nearly as much latitude to make exceptions to their policies as we might like to think.

This is due to the litigious environment that employment law has become over the last few decades. If you deviate from your formal policies or procedures, you will discover that you can be sued by other employees (or even former employees) for whom you did not make the same exception.

So, corporate counsel routinely advise their clients: Set a policy and then stick with it 100% because you're opening Pandora's box if you don't.

Sad, but very true.
John Brown is just playing with you.
He said, NOT OFFERING A JOB.
I have worked at MQ before and I would say that HIS has them beat when it comes to playing dirty!!

As an PT EMT I can assure you playing hrs of euchre during calls
x
Oh, I am playing with the "big boys" and have been doing this for 25 years darling!
You do not know it all, though may think so! I was just trying to let you know, some hospitals will honor your invoicing methods and pay you on time. Now, that may depend on whether your invoice goes through the purchasing department as a vendor or through the department in which you contract.

I meant to say playing euchre "in between calls." nm

Transcend is playing games, giving gift cards
and doing contests (poetry) and others. There is a contest for a big screen TV.

Transcend cares about its employees
I know who it is!!! And I can't say it, darn it!!!!

Thanks!!...Darn.. nm

Darn! I'm sorry.
Hopefully they get it fixed soon so all of us can work. I actually got the audio, didn't do the DNS changes, though so maybe that's why. I have no idea. I so hate computers. LOL
Darn, that would be perfect for me but sm
I can't do the move to Wisconsin thing with a husband, home, etc. I really could train at home strictly for the 3-6 months. And living west of Chicago, the daily drive would kill me.
Darn, that is disappointing.
I was truly considering this company after my line count with Spheris has dropped steadily over the last year and this sounded like a great place to go.  Is there anywhere anymore that treats MTs fairly?
I know, you're right darn it. Ugh. nm

n


And what a darn shame too, because if there
wasn't the MT no one else would have a job.
It is a darn SHAME
WEBMEDX is a click. If you don't know someone personally and are not someone's friend personally, FORGET IT, they will trash you and think nothing of it...Great Job Today, On the streets tomorrow. They don't care who they hurt or who they Belittle. The QA mentoring is LAZY also.
sorry. Should be TRS's 'ad' - darn expander!

Hot darn it is in the Ahdi book.

The only time QA makes me pound my head is when they are correct and it can be seen in print.


Also, the new Nuance 7.5 VR is so smart. . .it remembers corrections you make. The whole page(s). Start planning. . .this one is top notch. . .better than the first. No more overtime. No more parttimers.


I meant voted (darn expander)
 
Darn, wish mine would have shown up DD today. nm

The lying is unbelievable. If you work there, you darn well

better than Lanier - darn short-cuts! NM

Darn my shortcut program. That is supposed to be "I" not HPI. nm

"Just get to your darn keyboards and work!!!!"
Oh my gosh, who are YOU to tell people to get back to their keyboards?!

::crackface::

Unbelievable!

I still cannot get over the fact that you said that. You may say that to your own children but you don't say something like that to an adult/s.

Where did you grow up? Heaven help us.
$7/hour is pretty darn good, I was making
the MT inexperience, as the inexperienced is all they are able to hire. Seasoned MT's know better than to go there.
WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone

DARN STRAIGHT... and as soon as the Indians are forced to work weekends,

then I will.  I used to have plenty of work for my early morning shift and now none.  Why?  NOT BECAUSE THE CLIENT DOES NOT HAVE WORK AT THAT TIME......


BECAUSE THE INDIANS TOOK MY WORK.  They get to work days and have off nights and weekends becuase us PRIMMA DONNAS are here to suck hiney and say *I will do it cause the client needs it*


WAKE UP!!!!!!!  The world is laughing at you. 


Same goes for managers
If you kiss a** you can get into a position of power there regardless of whether you have experience, knowledge or even are a newbie. They hire very few people for their power positions who actually know what they are doing for fear of being one-upped by them. That is why so many of them are on their power trips so they can feel important. People with real knowledge and experience usually don't have a need to do that unless they are jerks.
Considering what the managers have
to deal with between the clients and staff, as well as the weekends they have to work and I don't, I don't begrudge them (or anyone else) a spa weekend. It's not as if it's a trip to Tahiti. I would rather work with people who have had some sort of stress management anyway.
but one of our managers
sent out a thoughtful token, probably did it out of her own pocket, would never expect the company to give a dime more than they have to.
there are managers and then sm
there are managers. Some of then ignore all emails from MTs. I just is according to who you get as STM. They are not all created equal and some are incompetent.
A lot of the managers at OSi came from MQ
 
Must be from QA managers at OSi
consider the source
SPI managers
Ditto to that.  All of the managers seem to be replaced by MQ former managers.  The director of OP is MQ and every time you turn around new MQ manager.  Run run run
How are the managers there?

She is still there now, but I keep getting different account managers. nm

The problem with their QA managers is
in the MT business. One was a former nurse who was absolutely horrible - power trip from hell - unreasonable, mean, nasty, rude.  Now she's been replaced by a some hick who 2 years ago was in an OSI company email  being introduced as ". . . is working towards learning to be an MT well enough that she can work at home without supervision soon. For now she's working in-house."  Too many people in their QA department who have no experience and weezled their way in by kissing a$$ or "knowing someone" who can get them into OSi in a position of power and then WATCH OUT.
Interpro managers
Anyone have experience with Interpro management where they were made to feel stupid, lazy, an inconvenience and almost accused of lying about something demonstrably untrue...trying to figure out if it is me being over sensitive or if they treat everyone this way...need my job, but need respect, too..
Not all managers were transcriptionists.
I know of one manager who used to be in marketing. She is still there now. She is and/or was not very well liked because she was not a transcriptionist. There is no teamwork. I tried teamwork, until the manager put an end to it. They could care less if you get a lunch break as long as the work is done. You only know about your manager and co-workers. You would know nothing about other account managers and their employees. They changed their name because TSI has a bad reputation. They were losing accounts. They laid off people. They can't afford incentives. The insurance premiums are insane.
Put it this way, the managers over the supervisors
are lucky to make that in some companies! That is way over the top, I highly doubt it.
All managers want yes people but OSI is
nm
Which companies allow managers
to work from home, other than MQ, and does not require the manager to type on the accounts? Thanks in advance for your help.
SPi Managers Mtg and Stuff

OldTimer, are you a current SPi employee?  Maybe you are and you have some inside information I don't have, or maybe you are a past employee with a grudge, it's hard to say.  Your information doesn't seem current. I am a current employee.  The managers did have a quarterly account manager's meeting in Nashville.  I don't know who your AM is, but I have a great one and I trust that she discussed with the other AMs with regard to line counts and work availability, etc.  I do know that it is not as you said at all, there is not a condition whereby only a few MTs are trying to do the work for a whole bunch.  There are plenty of MTs who have worked for SPi who are not going anywhere in spite of the fact that things were slow getting back to normal after the holidays.  Things will pick up.  We are all sure of that, this is a big company with new accounts on the horizon. I am not going anywhere, I love my account, my account manager, and will work through the recent changes.  No matter where you go, there is always going to be changes.  You just have to ride them out.


 


Those new micro-managers -sm
need to justify their full-time salaries (that we wish WE had)  by putting in their daily 2 cents' worth  with daily email (to show management that they are actually doing something) -- by either:  (1) chewing us out about something, real or in their minds (See, boss, I'm on the ball     -- or, conversely,  (2) the condescending email telling us what an awesome group we all are when we get them out of trouble and back into TAT, which we, up to this point, we happy to do.
