Obviously I have more integrity than you do. Argue with yourself.

I can't argue with you. Not one bit.

I left a fairly major company a while back. Was the head of QA. I failed MT after MT on reviews, sometimes repeatedly, and couldn't get rid of them to save my soul (upper management politics SUCK). I'm talking about the really bad apples here, not people who were 96-98% folks. Everyone can have a bad day, or even a bad month. I'm talking about hateful attitudes, defiantly chronic line padders, blatant cherry pickers, and medical error after medical error.


To this very day every one of them is STILL there, some having been promoted to special teams, etc. All too often it's truly about who you know, not what you do. Now, I pretty much follow BOS2, adhere to client wishes, and I was actually quite lenient in my scoring, but to see people who are unethical, undeserving, and just plain bad MTs get rewarded for their behavior, well, it chaps my hide. If I ever get into QA management again I'll make darned sure beforehand that if I say "yer outta here!" they truly will be "outta here."


On another note, God bless every MT who cares about the patient, cares about quality, and can look at themselves in the mirror every day and say "I did a GREAT job today, and I feel good about being me." If it were within my power I'd double your line rate, triple your incentives, give you a hand and foot massage and buy you a drink!


I'll get off of my soapbox now!


 


 


Yep, no one can argue with that. And you can add

I am not going to argue with you about it. - sm
I'm glad you are happy. I will caution you not to believe everything they tell you. The offshore MTs are NOT a small percentage, no matter what they tell you. And yes, I read the memo.
To those thinking about taking a job with MedWare, they have many good points but also be aware that they are sending much work to India and VR and will continue to do so as that is the way of transcription in this day and age.
Don't want to argue with you, but....sm
I DID send in 30 minutes of dictation in February 2007. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I signed a contract and everything.

I still have the emails and the dictation. I will be happy to email you this to show you I'm not making this up.

Heck, I just wanted to give heads up, not fight with anybody.

Yes, 30 minutes of dictation is tough. It took me a long time. I was testing a LOT with companies back then and having a very frustrating time. Just seemed like par for the course at the time. I was trying to gain individual accounts.

I truly did do 30 minutes of dictation per his request. I can prove it. I don't appreciate your insinuation.
Not going to argue with you
A fax machine is not something that an MT uses while doing MT work. MTs should not be expected to own fax machines. It is still my opinion that it is the employers responsibility to mail a hard copy of the required new hire paperwork to all employees and provide a paid means to the employee to return the paperwork.

IMO, it is very unprofessional to email documents to a new hire and expect them to print it out (MT may not have a printer) and mail or fax it back (MT may not have a fax) to them at their own expense. Very tacky.
Can't argue with that......

I'm not going to sit and argue with you...
..and I certainly will not sink to the depth you have and question your credibility or insult you in return.

Whether or not you find me credible is really of no great significance to me. There are enough MTs on this board with decades of experience claiming the same insulting 7 cpl offer.

You've obviously found your pot of gold with WMX. I on the other hand was offended by their offer, laughed at the recruiter as I declined and made the choice to apply elsewhere until I found a job offering a better rate for my skills.

Yes as an IC, the pittance these nationals pass off as benefits and incentives attached to a string do not entice me. I do not feel a need to work harder than I already do just so I can finally earn the cpl I should have been earning all along for my skills.

I earn incentives too for all my weekend and holiday work and I earn it without having to kill myself transcribing a minimum of 800 lines to earn it; tack on another 15% or 20% to my IC rate.

Just as an additional FYI, there are tiered incentives offered at FN too, but I'm not sure exactly the total lines required before they would be applied.

You seem happy at WMX, just as I am happy at FN, so leave it at that. If I wanted to argue, I would just call up my ex.
why argue about it. Either the she will sm
have to go there or she won't go there and won't have a job. I didn't say I agreed with them. I am telling you that they are doing this and if the poster wants to work for them that is what she will have to do.

Personally I WOULD NOT DO IT but she didn't ask if I would do it, she asked if it was legal. Then comes all the dialogue! Go to work!
Can't argue with more money!

Best of luck on the new job!


Not even gonna argue, as I can tell 100% from
your dialect that you are Indian.  So, you don't understand our US point of view.  I do not want to work for an Indian owner, a Japanese owner, or an owner from Mars who has, in their own written and published mission statement, to eliminate the US MTs, as they are inferior to Indian MTs. Not my words, CBay's words, and I don't care if they came from Santa Claus, or Mr. Hoffmann, or Tony Soprano. I ain't gonna work for someone who wants to eliminate me and my coworkers. Buh Bye.
Not meaning to argue...
but they DID lie. They initially told me that typing was not required. Just as they will review what I type, they could allow me to QA and review what I have QA'd. Very simple.

Whatever their reasons are for requiring this - they should be honest and tell the folks to whom they make an offer that typing is required.
Not trying to argue your point, just
asking you to explain, so I know, LOL. Thanks much!!!
I am not going to argue with the likes sm
of you. Your word structure doesn't even sound like you are from this country. If not, you don't even belong on this board. Oh but I forgot, Why should this be?
You're just looking to argue...
I got your post completely. And you don't need to lecture me regarding education and getting involved. I've been doing both for quite some time now.
Yes, I hear what you're saying and can't argue with you at all ...sm
It's so disappointing though. In other aspects I think that they're a very fine company, but the other aspects aren't what pays the bills ... =(

Thanks!

I am currently employed with Integrity.  This is a great company to work for.  I have been employed with Integrity for over a year now and I love the work.  There is plenty to go around for everyone.  The Emdat program is not that bad to work with.  I find it slow at times but it is usable.  I have worked with better programs, but it is tolerable.  Pay is by direct deposit on the 1st and 15th of each month and my pay has always been deposited on time.  Hope this helps.  If you have any other questions feel free to ask.  You can email me.  TY.
Integrity LLC
I just wanted to help try and answer any questions that anyone may have on Integrity LLC.  I have worked for them since they started and have not worked for a better company.  They do work with EMDAT and know some people don't care for it but I have found that it is alot more user friendly than some I have used.  There is plenty of work to go around and looking for great MT's that will as loyal to the company as the company is to their MT's.  I can not say enough good things about them.  Pay is the 15th and the 30th and always on time.  Getting new and bigger accounts all the time.  I have worked for some of the larger companies and I have found that this is more like a family than just being a number.  If you have any questions at all please feel free to email me and I will try and answer any questions you have.  This is the cream of crop MT's and couldn't ask for anything better.   
Integrity
I was offered to take this test from them.  God, tell you if that is a sample of what their files sound like, do not want any part of them!  I could not find anything on them here or in archives, either!  The test is about 10 minutes long, too long for me to spend on that one anyway!
Integrity
Nicole is a great boss. Pay is always on time, however, you have to wait about a month for your first pay. Pay is kind of low... highest account is 8 cpl, rest are 7 or 7.5. Emdat platform.
Integrity

Anybody work for Integrity? Good? Bad?


Thanks


Integrity
She is great to work for, not so great on the pay 7 cpl to a tops of 8 depending on account.  Have to wait a month for your first pay.  Emdat platform.
Integrity
If you are referring to the Integrity Service out of Florida, you need to speak to the owner.  There is always plenty of work on one of the many accounts.  I work part time for her and have done so for the past two years.  I have had no problem with work or getting paid.  Sorry that you are having a difficult time.  Hope this helps.

I am a former mentor of Allstate. *** (Owner) owes me almost $1000 (this is for 2-1/2 months work) When I gave my notice, my accounts were locked immediately and I was unable to get my line counts to send invoices. In fact, I couldn't even edit my interns documents. When decided not to give a 2 week notice since I was told I would be put on probation if I stayed and I could not afford to work for free any longer, I was told that I forfeited all of my earnings because I signed an IC contract.  Since April, I have made a total of 78.00 working there.


 


If you are an experienced MT, stay far away and go to a hospital which is where I previously worked. I regret my decision to leave the hospital (due to health issues) because I was always treated fairly and paid well and on time bi-weekly, with benefits.


 


If you are a recent MT graduate thinking about paying 99.00 to sign up for the intern program, that is a big mistake, there are other intern programs where you can find a job without you paying them (and sometimes even get a salary to boot, even though it is lower than a seasoned MT). My point is, there are many good opportunities out there and this is DEFINITELY not one of them.


 


I am posting this because I am a genuinely honest (and yes Christian) person and I should have known better, especially when I was not even tested. I don't want others to be cheated by this so called Christian organization.  If you ever get paid, it will take 2 or 3 months for one month pay and if you decide you can't afford to work there and quit, you forfeit all of your earnings and do not get paid period.


 


PLEASE BE CAREFUL!


If they do not have the integrity to stand up and say they have
enough staff, then I have lost all respect I had for any of them. Most of them have no ability anyway, so when they lose those jobs, they will be on the welfare lines.
Integrity, any info on them? nm
Thanks!

Anyone work for Integrity? Pros/Cons?
Anyone hear anything about Integrity?
Has anyone heard anything about a company named Integrity? I started there on May 12, 2008 and now have no work coming in. I am afraid this is a set up where they steal your money after working.
Integrity in transcription
You know why I won't just find another job (THIS TIME)? Because I've 'found another job' three times in the past two years now.

The first time, it was because all of my accounts were offshored to India.

The second time, it was because our line rates changed detrimentally, in the form of some REALLY sneaky line accounting and then eventually a move to not paying for templates, headers, or footers - even though the line rate that I had accepted with said company was based on the fact that they paid for these things (7.5 cpl BECAUSE of that, when I'd had a 8.5 cpl offer come in at the same time for a company who did NOT pay those things).

The third time, I left because I found out that the company I was working for was surreptitiously offshoring their work when they claimed to be 100% AMERICAN. And then I was asked to QA (for 3.5 cpl) the HORRIFIC work that the Indians had done.

How many times do I have to 'just find another job' because every single stinking company is backhanded and sneaky and doesn't hold up their end of the bargain and shafts the transcriptionists at every turn?

If you're okay with breaking the law (which I will address in another post), then that's on you.

I am not. And I am not interested in being complicit in someone else breaking the law. And, furthermore, I would prefer to pave the way for transcriptionists EVERYWHERE to not be taken advantage of. My measly 9 cpl that I make as an IC (and pay my OWN taxes, which makes it equal out to, yes, 7.5 cpl) is worth kissing goodbye for this.

I am unafraid.

Moreover, I am ready to give up transcription for good.

I've been witness to years and years of whining and moaning on this forum (and others) about how poorly we're all treated.

I am going to do something about it, even if it means sacrificing my job.

Eff. It's time someone actually did.
MDI = Mutation of D's Integrity
 
Honesty, Loyalty, and Integrity! sm
A company that will be honest, no matter what the cost. Integrity to keep our records and work in the USA. Loyalty to your entire staff, let them know how important they are to the company, as well as loyalty to your clients. Keep your TATs and promises to your clients. Keep your promises to your MTs.

A decent line rate such as 10 cpl or above and flexibility!

Hope that helps!

Her soul, her integrity, her patriotism...
Yeah, actually she sold out kinda cheap, huh?

Or perhaps that really is all she was worth as a human being.

I'd rather exist on my salary than sell my soul (and the souls of 400+ others) to the devil for $16 million.

It's gonna be hot down there, D...better dress lightly :-)
