So interesting that you didn't address the offshoring posts. NM

Interesting link about offshoring.

Check out this link.  Very interesting about off-shoring.

Hmm, interesting posts for this one.
I work for MedScribe as an IC nad have been there a year and a half. I have been very pleased wtih them. They always have plenty of work and the staff has been wonderful. Btw, I am not a recruiter.
I did address this in a couple of posts, actually
And extremely hard ESLs are usually much simpler on VR than straight typing, for some bizarre reason (I guess it's easier for technology to decipher them than the English-speaking ear?).

As I just said in a previous post, too many MTs overriding the system with personal preferences, unnecessary expansions, etc., will prevent the system from ever being able to process at its full potential.

Please note, however, that I'm not the only one posting who does very well with VR. While I made it a point to clarify that I had a very good account with good dictators, others are having success as well, presumably with different employers, different accounts, and different dictators.

And I'll pass on that offer to try out the Q. Life's too short for that particular brand of misery. I truly sympathize for all of you Q'ers every time I read the posts over there. It sounds just awful, so I'm going to take your word for it!
I think it's interesting they didn't promote the other guy
but brought in somebody from the outside. Maybe they actually do realize there are problems with the current management. Dare we hope?
Interesting, my email didn't say anything about . .
the date the contract expired, just that it was prior to acquisition (which would not be 18 months), and did not use the term half of their business, was worded differently.
They didn't even address an abbrev program
within ChartMatrix at my hire. They recommended 2 with ShortHand being one of the 2. Since I already had it with extremely large dictionaries, I was glad to stick with SH. It made starting go so smooth!
Interesting posts. It is good to hear both sides

I can understand the employees who want everything and give very little back.  Very frustrating.


But then you have the situation described for the employee where there is no job satisfaction, no family/personal life allowed or frowned upon by management and no chance for promotion.   And then being compared to an Indian who has a completely different social environment. 


I know mothers who are IC and while they do take time off during the day for their kids (how dare they make dinner for those kids and hubby) but then they work long into the night after kids and hubby have gone to bed.  There are no weekends with their family either.  And the work reward is the pay will be lowered because the client wants to pay a lower rate.  It is not exactly incentive to work hard without any breaks and ignore the family in favor of what the company needs.


I remember years ago working for a start up company and the manager did not want the single girls to date at night and instead work late.  She thought they should be devoting their time to their career in transcription.  Well a Transcriptionist could do that but whether she worked harder or not the pay would be the same and she would always be a transcriptionist.  The manager on the other hand if the company did well would receive promotions and raises I am sure.  So that is the difference....management perks vs worker bee perks.  It was easy for her to give up a social and personal life because the rewards but the transcriptionist typing straight for hours and hours would see the same pay day in day out, no advancement or recognition for working harder other than not having a manager angry. 


However after reading that post I will be aware  and really give it my all. I do understand the need for a better work ethic.   I see what the management wants and needs.  Especially when managers are spending Thanksgiving with their families and the transcriptionist is working for 7 cpl with no break.  It is the American way of doing business.

I didn't see any posts about VR --

I just perused over the page and I recall the day that thread was posted, as I was concerned about that email, too, but nothing in that thread stated that MDI was going to VR or in the email, unless I missed something.


Did your account go to VR and how were you notified?  I'd definitely like to know ahead of time what's going on.  I worked for MQ for too long with my head in the sand, don't let me sink now!


Sorry, I didn't see the earlier posts at first.
It just shook me up with GP's original post, because I like GP.
The negative posts didn't scare me...
None of them compare to what I've gone through with other companies.  The good far outweighs the bad.
Do they allow you an expansion program or Autocorrect usage? Old posts say they didn't. nm

I didn't take the posts as trashing the company, just people venting about no work. sm
I used to work for TT, and yes, they are wonderful people -- very caring and supportive -- but in order to get my lines in, I had to be VERY flexible, working on my days off, during times I wasn't scheduled, etc., and it gets old pretty quickly.  I personally didn't care for the e-mails calling me sweetie or telling me you rock, but that's just me.  I just want to be paid well and have plentiful work.  I do not know if they just overhire or what happens, but I finally left because I couldn't stand the feast or famine work flow there.
I remember some posts at the beginning of the year from a lady who didn't get paid - she was stea

I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.

Yes, she does have an address
She doesn't have my phone number as I only worked for her for a very short period of time (just before the holidays). All our dealings have been through email.
Web address..(sm)
www.keystrokestranscription.com   That's the right one because it just worked for me.  I don't know if they are hiring.  I've been there 2 years now and it's the best place I have ever worked.
How could they get your ISP address?

What is Keystrokes web address?

I am getting too many hits for Keystrokes and not the one I am looking for.  I would like to get to the company's web site.


 


Thanks for any help. 


You had your email address in and (sm)
the proper place for your type of ad is the job board in the resume section.
Looking for email address
I worked for a lady by the name of Lisa Thelen.  She owns Mediscript Transcription.  I have changed ISPs and I am in need of her email address.  Any help on finding this would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks
? their email address
Do you have their email address. The contact link on their site is not working.
Do you happen to have their web address? TIA n/m

Tried the web address given but couldn't get in. nm

Do you know the website address or what
(what)IDS might stand for?
Do you have a web address for the DSG in Florida?
I am unable to locate a Dictation Services Group out of Florida - on the internet. DSG has an ad posted on the job board. This is the DSG based in Atlanta. I can tell because of the email address they posted in the ad.

With that said, there is no excuse to ignoring emails. There are emails that I sent months ago to which I have received no reply.
They really need to address this issue because
they will find all the good MTs bailing out. This has gone on long enough, they enabled ctrl I, but that is not the real issue. If they want to keep us, they better come straight. I think many are on the verge of leaving, I know that goes for me and I've been with them well before they signed on all these new accounts.
If you go to their website, you can see their address in CA.

email address TRS...
Does anyone know the email address for human resources at Transcription Relief Services? 
why not address the question
to the recruiter, as to what you can access? Personally, i don't think you should rely so heavily on previous reports, though they can be helpful for sure. If you can't access them through the system, maybe they can mail (or e/m) you some hard copies.
What is website address? (nm)
(nm)
I believe that is something you need to address with management

I don't think anyone but management can answer your question.  I know that they are very understanding in most personal situations as they have worked with me in the past but I never resigned, either.  It might depend on whether you gave a 2-week notice and how your overall record was with them at the time as well.


Good Luck!!


If you look up the foreign name and the web address

it's associated with /transindiatranscribers.  If you're concerned about offshoring, might want to give this one a miss.


 


 


What's their site address?
I can't find them via Google.
No, that's MDI-MD...email address is same as my MDI email address
They're apparently just hiring for Radiology, though. Fatcat is correct about them not hiring for acute care or clinic at this time, as far as I know.

If you do radiology transcription, I'd strongly suggest applying. Great place to work.


What is the web site address for DTS? nm
