they do not offshore. Some of their accts are on the border which is why the email is that way. TH does not offshore in any way. One of the few left that does not.

Oh for Pete's sake
It wasn't a dig. Simply a statement because I didn't take her email the way others implied it should have been taken. There were multiple posts by people earlier about MDI going the way of MQ and making all kinds of other statements to damage the company. I was at MQ when that ship started to sink and have seen nothing remotely close to that here. And as far as having compassion for someone with no work, apparently you didn't read all of my post or you would have read that I do understand what they are going through. I went through the same thing, not for a few weeks like the OP, but for 3 months at MQ and it probably would have been longer had I not decided to finally bail out of that mess. So before you decide to judge me or pretend to know what I think or feel, try reading all of my posts. Actually, don't. I'm sure you will just find some other reason to rag on me because I'm not having a horrible time with my company at the moment. To sum up all of my posts: To the OP down below, I'm sorry for your situation, but no, I'm not experiencing the same thing. To the other posters talking about management as if they are in it, unless you actually are in management and can say something factual, shut up. Regarding the message from Carlotta, all I got from that was take your issues up with management instead of hashing them out on a public forum. And to the snot I'm replying to......WHATEVAH!
oh for Pete's sake!!
they did use Transcriptionist in the body of the ad. Why all the assumptions here anyway. Do they pay on time? Are there any real problems here?
Oh, Fer Pete's Sake!
She quit her job because she was upset about the use of the word NEED??? For all we know, the person who phrased it in a less than acceptable way was not accustomed to handling bereavement requests - I'd have cut him/her a little slack. I'd have taken that opportunity to *educate* the HR person how to handle future requests with a little more tact, not bit his/her head off and complained all the way to the top of the food chain.

And how is the HR person supposed to know what kind of relationship the OP had with her father? or how emotionally upset the OP was or wasn't?

Bottom line, the OP is out of a job and the rest of the company is going on just fine without her. I think that's called shooting oneself in the foot... all for one little word: NEED. sheesh.




Not bragging, for pete's sake. The OP asked about if we run out of work or not. I do not. We a

Thank you very much For the Love of Pete

I suspect you make pretty good money yourself!!! 


Don't know if I'll make money painting gourds, it's just fun.  It seems to be the newest craft craze on the West Coast.  I stumbled into that by accident.  When I found out gourds sell for $7.50 to $100 when they are  harvested, you can bet I'll be planting a gourd patch next year!!!  I'm a farmer's daughter and have plenty of room.  I know gourds are easy to grow.

For the love of Pete -- She worked

for Transtech.  See the post near the bottom of the page by Happy Clam.  It's all there.


I wouldn't have remembered but for the fact that I never knew gourd painting was that popular.  Have fun Gourd Painter!


Sweet Pete Bayou MT. Part of your responsibility as an MT
is to look up unfamiliar terminology, doctor's names, etc. and MAKE A NOTE OF IT, so you don't have to look it up again. All I can say is good luck with your career as an MT.
LET IT GO FOR GOODNESS SAKE

Looks like they pay more at MQ for goodness sake.
Pretty sad.
Oh for God's sake! I said it because it's TRUE.

As I said, I've been an MT for over 20 years.  I worked as an MT in house for a hospital for over 10 years.  I have a standing offer to go back and work for them at ANY time.  The way it is now, I do overflow for them any time they need extra help.  I also have had many of my own accounts other than this hospital over the years.  Yes, HOSPITAL accounts.  Why?  Because I'm a good transcriptionist.  I have had surgery center accounts, hospital ER accounts, overflow accounts doing ops, discharge summaries and ERs, and psychiatric hospital accounts.  I have a couple of doctor offices, but I prefer acute care.  When I got tired of the hassles of my own accounts, I applied with a small national that pays very well and only hires people with lots of experience.  I have worked for them in some form or other, sometimes more and sometimes less, for about 13 years.  When I have heard of something interesting, a job I might be interested in and that I think will pay will, I have applied.  Other than the small national, I have worked for JLG.  I have applied at various transcription companies over the years and was offered jobs by ALL of them, and have been offered good line rates by all of them, but in the end decided to stay with my own accounts and the small national I mentioned above that I have been with for 13 years.  Having been an MTSO myself, I know GOOD TRANSCRIPTIONISTS ARE HARD TO COME BY.  I have severely limited the amount of work I COULD have because of an inability to find QUALIFIED MTs.  I have been absolutely HORRIFIED over the years at what I have seen produced by experienced transcriptionists.


So when I do apply for a job, the MT companies RECOGNIZE that I am a good MT.  Everything I have said is true.  I didn't say they fall all over themselves to hire me for the heck of it - THEY DO!  And if you had my experience, they would if you applied too.  You obviously DON'T or you wouldn't be ridiculing what I am saying.  Anyone who is a truly good MT knows that what I say is true.  If you are good, you are highly in demand.


Oh, for heavens' sake! (sm)
If you were at all familiar with DRC, you would know that the current clients REQUIRE all MTs who do their work to be USA-based. Why would the CEO of Acusis spend big bucks to buy a thriving, successful company, then turn around and send the work offshore and lose the contracts that made DRC worth buying in the first place?


Move over, Chicken Little... you've got houseguests for the weekend.
then for cripe's sake please

volunteer to be reassigned to that account so the posts that distress y'all so much will cease.  Check back with us in a week or two, okay?


 


Oh for pity's sake
There are tons of companies out there not on the board at all - I know because I work for two of them and never see anything negative at all about them. Did it occur to you the one's you see here over and over probably deserve much of the criticism?


For goodness sake!
This is whining now, ridiculous.
Well for goodness sake
spill the name of your company, maybe I'll come out of retirement.  LOL
I hope for your sake it is. At MQ, however, when we
were told the new pay rate would allow us to drastically increase our pay, it ended up cutting our pay in half... It sure sounded good though...

I will cross my fingers for you that it will all work out!
Oh, for Lord's sake, fastMT...What's up...
with the racist bashing today? Is it really necessary? My concern is not WHAT anyone puts on their heads, whether it's a bindi or earmuffs, but that Americans' medical records are being sent offshore, to ANY shore.
Explain for goodness sake!
These clip answers do not really help anyone.  Why not discuss your reasons why?  I would like to get a better picture of why your thoughts are such; otherwise, it leaves everyone going
Oh for Heavens sake! That is old news and all their clients already know about that.
Come up with something new, and maybe people will listen.
Oh for heavens sake! Did it occur to you that maybe she left there for a reason? She
addressed that when she came to Transtech and emphatically that she was not interested in offshoring and they are not going to offshore. Sheesh! She worked for ONE company that offshored and she left that for a reason (didn't like offshore).
It's a holiday, for heaven's sake, alot of docs off today!
lighten up.
For Heaven's sake, they did NOT overhire. It was a holiday weekend when dictation practically st
