You rock!

I am new and do not want to rock the boat but I am going to sm
point my lead to this board and let them know. I had a few inconsistencies when Penny talked to me and let them go because I knew about the company. But this is different. I should have said something and didn't but nw I wonder if I should have. What would you do?
They are out of Rock Hill, SC....
No website that I know of.  I think they are a small MTSO.
EvolveMed? HDS out of Little Rock?
Anyone ever heard of these companies? Good/bad? I can't seem to find anything on them. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
Under what rock or in what swamp do they find these
The lack of upbringing, tact, or even basic common sense or civility among most of them is incredible. Even more incredible is that they've got SOMEone buffaloed into believing they're worth the big money they're getting paid.

Bah!
AllType didn't rock for me

Yes, I contacted the recruiter right away.  However, I was told that I misunderstood the interview.  But, how could I misunderstand information that was never provided?  


I'm glad that your emails are answered.  Mine went 5 days without an answer.  I don't know why yours are answered while mine were not.  Maybe it is because you already work there?  Or, maybe you are now communicating with someone other than the recruiter?


The first excuse for the delay in response was that the company was having email issues.  The next excuse was that managers had been in a meeting that lasted 5 days.  This was all after having been given 24 hours to return the tests; that's 24 hours after the recruiter sent the email, not 24 hours after I received it.  Too bad if I wasn't online 24/7.  My conclusion:  It appeared that I would be expected to jump when they said jump, but they would respond at their convenience.


My main gripe through it all was that at every turn there was a new rule to follow or a hoop to jump through.  For instance, after accepting the employee position, I received an IC contract.  It had not been revealed to me initially that I would be an IC for 30 days, but this IC contract contained the stipulation that I would be confined to a set schedule from day one, and the schedule could not be changed for 6 months.  The IC contract specifically read that it was a 1-year contract, not 30 days as the recruiter subsequently claimed was the rule.  Plus, I was required to obtain an EIN from the IRS--none of these are usually required for employees.  BTW, it is easy to obtain an EIN and I, in fact, already have one.  But, my complaint is that they required it.  As an employee, an SSN should be sufficient.  So something didn't add up right.  Also, I'm picky when it comes to written contracts versus spoken words.  I always lean towards accepting the written contract as the whole truth.


Also, on the first round, I was told to be sure to let them know if I had any vacations scheduled soon.  On the second round, I was told to be sure to inform them of any doctor appointments and any other appointments scheduled for the next 90 days.  After being offered the job and providing references, I was then asked to fill out an application.  It seemed like it was never going to end. 


Because we always get treated the best during the recruitment process, I really was scared about what was ahead, and just how far AllType would go with regard to control and manipulation.  Therefore, I withdrew my acceptance of the position.


 


Might as well rock the sinking ship.

If they want rock bottom prices
then why doesn't the hospital contract directly with the MT?  Cut out the huge salaries for the suits.  No one can convince me that the cost of transcription isn't inflated by outsourcing!!
Supe says "they rock!" This is so disgusting

to hear every time they put some new MT's on our accounts.


Today it's all jokes being sent out in emails! Just what we need, more emails!!!!!!    We can read joke books or joke calendars. Would rather not have those sent by our SUPE in company emails !!!


You rock. I'd worry if you put on pantyhose. Yuck! nm

Etymotic 6i isolator earbuds ROCK!

Here is the link to the company's site:
http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er6i.aspx


HOWEVER---Google them and get yourself a deal, don't pay retail.  They can be found on E-Bay as well for cheap cheap.


They completely block out sound and what you do hear is clear as a freakin' bell.  I accidentally severed the wire on mine last week and had to use regular earbuds and I flipped out.  I could hear, but it sounded just crappy.  Thankfully my husband is a bit of a gadget guru and he was able to solder the wire together and it works as good as new. 


Best piece of equipment I own frankly.  Now....if I could just score a deal on one of those Mirra chairs by Herman Miller I could almost love my job again.



Account Managers/TL's Rock at Transcend!

I am not sure who you are referring to at Transcend, but each and every manager I have had at Transcend has done nothing but support and encourage me every step of the way.  I have worked hard, and they have rewarded that hard work.


The honesty and team camaraderie is so refreshing.  I previously worked with another transcription company where I felt secluded, discouraged, and only was provided with negative feedback.  Getting questions answered were usually within 24 hours, not in minutes as it is here at Transcend.  If I needed a sample immediately, it was not available to me. 


Transcend provides its employees with so much information at their fingertips that I was almost overwhelmed when I first started.  They continue to be supportive and trustworthy.  I never feel as though management is ever unavailable and, in fact, they provide their phone numbers to reach them 24/7!  Kudos to you, Transcend!


Chicken!! She crawled under her rock, never to be heard from again. NM

when you rock that boat, you may fall overboard
Unionizing is not the answer. all that does is make the union richer instead not the MTSO. It doesn't make the employee any richer, for sure. My union experience in the past has hurt me more than helped me, and I would never want to be part of any union again. Union bargaining hat costs thousands of thousands of jobs in this country. But the union goes on, just the working people are out of a job.
I'm sorry to differ, the Happy M-day You Rock message
First time anybody where I worked ever wished me a happy mother's day and I really thought it was very kind...I love TT and consider it a blessing to have my job with them. I do pay all my bills too. Happy Mother's Day to all moms!
You need to go and crawl back underneath the rock

that you escaped from.  If you were to read this board or if you HAD read this board in the several weeks to months past, you would realize that these people who are screaming about this merger are the people who have been sitting around waiting and begging for work.  Pray tell, please explain to us all how you expect someone to be so productive when there is not work provided for them!!!


 


If emails saying, "You guys make Transtech rock" pays your bills, let me know, because

I have figured out a way to pay my bills with such **old, wornout** words.


Management is rocking alright, because their paychecks are not affected at all with the NO WORK/LOW WORK situation that has been going on now for MONTHS and MONTHS.  That seems so unfair when without the MT's, the mgmt would have no paychecks!!!!!
