That is too funny - if I didn't think someday one of those reports might not be mine!

Posted By: MTIAM on 2009-05-14
In Reply to: For a lousy 3cpl, I wouldn't even bother to read - the reports, would just shoot em on through.

Maybe we should all band together and just shoot those VR reports straight through - JUST FOR ONE SHIFT - take our money and see what happens.  Guess we could find out if there is any QA in place and if the MTSO gets any feedback from the hospital.  It might be a lesson for the MTSO to learn.  I spend lots and lots of time - follow word by word - in my VR jobs but the pay just is not there doing VR that way.  I do see bad reports in my search of what other MTs turn in and it is really scary.  BUT - bet they make more than I do at the end of the day.  When will the hospitals and the MTSOs figure this out???? and pay us more for quality than quantity.

All of mine haven't! funny -
it just never seems to trickle down. Hmmm, and what MTSO tells their gals things are getting better - we're raising our rates??
I really didn't like not being able to see my reports...

broken down line by line, too, but that is a totally different issue than having correct line counting.  If a company wants to rip you off, they will rip you off giving a report-by-report accounting of it or a daily accounting of it. 


I worked for a company where you had a daily accounting of individual reports on your computer but it didn't necessarily match what the company paid you for.  If your paycheck was light (and it usually was), and you found the missing report or reports after searching through the 30 or so pages for the payperiod, then you had to fax the whole thing to the office after e-mailing where the discrepency was.  After a while, that is just too much work. 


Like someone said below, I know how many lines I type in an hour.  If am posting over 300 lines doing Ctrl-I, the counter must be counting something I am not typing because I am not that fast.  It isn't like they are taking a percentage off what I am typing, they are taking a percentage off what is eventually printed on the page.  Some companies just take make the headers and footers unviewable by the MT so they're not counted in Word's utility.  It's really all the same.


 


That's funny didn't know they had it in the paper
I was told they recently moved somebody from another dept within the company to fill that position. She is definitely entry level, completely different field. Just goes to show.....
It didn't help. Had 3 difficult reports by
same dictator. First job legitimately pooled to me, second I forgot to check, third report 1 other MTs cancelled the job so I ended up with it. It totally burns me up.
FUNNY - BUT YOU DIDN'T CHECK

I didn't particularly think it was poor taste - just not funny

mine didn't go that way... c msg
i tested. first email from them stated i passed their radiology tests, and they would contact me during the next recruitment. two weeks later, i received an email with attachments to download. these included pay scale of 7 cpl WITHOUT spaces, manual or templated headings, and i had 24 hours to accept or decline their offer. I sent them an email obviously declining.
I didn't get mine yet. does it come sm
UPS or regular mail. They asked me when I filled out my employment papers 3 weeks ago what size I wanted because they were sending it. I wonder when it will come?
Just got mine today - some didn't get them yet
nm
Mine didn't say error either
This is the part that is so unsettling for me too.  And the fact that the human resource/payroll person doesn't even know what is going on and the fact they will not let her know what is going on is what is unsettling for me.  If they would just come right out and let us know what the heck is going on, then I would be a little more at ease.  But, no one is saying ANYTHING.  However, supposedly the money is there.......
Thanks Maura -- I know you didn't plan it, but my funny bone was tickled by your typo anyway -- s

looked like something I do a lot...hopefully I look at my screen before I do something rash like sending it to QA!! 


 


I sure didn't get that from mine - do you work on Radnet by chance? sm
That's a hospital-based platform and anyone who works on that is more inclined to have issues. Whatever your platform problems, they are not company-wide, that's for sure.
Mine didn't seem to work when I had it minimized, so I'm stuck using their own expander, which

sorry that is wake up someday (not somebody) :)

Yes, but someday Mustafeh might have exactly

They probably intend to buy the Q someday, anyway,

Back when I was a teenager, I believed that someday - sm
instead of voting for Democrats or Republicans to run the country, we'd be voting for corporations. I think we've pretty much reached that point, don't you?
Keep puckering up, maybe someday you'll make that big $14 an hour. Best of luck to ya. nmsg

where they 35 comparable reports - or 35 short and 35 long reports? nm

Typing ER reports and radiologogy reports
are completely different with regards to pay. For typing regular reports, that is a very fine line rate. For typing radiology reports, it would be horrid.
I bet you 1 million $$ you won't find one on mine. Mine is
2 years old and it does not have a 9-pin serial port, nor does it have a game port.   I have used both ports on other computers so I know what both ports look like.  I also have a company provided computer and it does have the ports on it. 
Say whatcha like, believe whatcha like, but someday all that's
And I'm not just talking about selling American jobs to the lowest bidder in India. That speaks volumes by itself. I'm talking about the belief you seem to have that you're somehow better than everyone else, and that you deserve the DIRTY money you're making. It's not HONEST wealth, it's DIRTY wealth, and time and again this country has seen people who grind others into the ground to gain another almighty dollar usually come to a sad end. Can you sleep at night? If so, that proves you have no conscience. And you think Americans aren't hungry and in need of shelter right friggin' NOW? Where do you live, in some fantasy-world?
I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.  
She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).

That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
That is really funny
The majority cannot be wrong.  Your first post brought on the reactions of many, all saying the same thing.  Your first post was rude.  It just was. It sounded hateful.  No way that 5 different people read it wrong.  Funny how you descend upon the poor OP and basically rip her apart and then call the rest of us vultures.  So funny.  You are not one to be preaching about attitudes and how we should watch them.  Talk to the woman in the mirror first. 
OMG HOW FUNNY!!!

ER Reports
Can you make a good living typing only ER reports with a national company?  Do any companies hire you just for ER reports?  Thanks.
it's funny that
the packet states no one will get a pay cut but they gave out pay cuts before people trained on DEP as DEP has only a certain pay level, so they were told. I guess this means no pay cuts with this packet. Pretty smarmy, huh??
Maybe that is why they only let you do a few reports a day but
nm
too funny

I think it is funny that you all
want to say that JACKO and the others you mentioned are the only rudes ones on this board. Look over the posts. Pretty much everyone here is rude. I've never seen anything like it.
that is funny....unfortunately if they were not that way, I don't many of us would have a job-LOL

Too funny. He gets around. nm

Funny
Please, why is it that if someone has been treated badly and there are issues that that person tries to convey to another for their own warning, why is that a grudge?  You watch too much TV!
I believe they will get them to do op reports, in which

I luv Op reports
:)
Too funny.
I have two dried up accounts as well. Yet they are still hiring. Go figure.
ER reports
Was there a posting on these boards recently about doing mainly ER reports?  What was the name of the company?  I cannot find it now.  Thanks.
lol, and for 8 cpl! Now, that's funny.

Funny
Oh what like I'm scared? Yes M.E. are my initials, you better believe it. Saying liar is not slanderous. Especially since this board makes disclaimers. Funny.
How funny!!!
Was it a lady by the name of Phyllis Tate who contacted you?  She is always going on cruises.  I turned down that company one week after I started working there.  That place is so darn screwed up.  Do not consider taking a job whatsoever!!!
THAT WAS FUNNY!
So funny!!  Yes, we know how to focus and concentrate and we know how to DROWN out nonessentials of background noise.
Funny....
I sent a resume to them and one of the questions was how much ESL do I do. I told them over 50% and that was why I was leaving my current job. They emailed me back and said based on my ESL answer, I was not a suitable candidate for their company.
Are the reports
in the accounts worse than what is on the TH test when you apply?

I have had years of proofing horrid accounts. :)

My really great fear is that I won't be able to get my line count. I HAVE to get my line count. I will be leaving a job with awesome benefits, retirement, blah blah blah, but I want to come back home with my children.

Sigh. If only it were easy.

LOL! That's funny...nm
This has never happened to me, not once. I have taken many tests and aced them and my email inbox was filled with email offers. I have 20 years experience and told them up front what I made/wanted. I think some MTs just can't face the fact that they failed the test.
TOO FUNNY

Oh, please stop with all the nonsense!!  Why do you feel compelled to give out these TIPS?  So, nonqualified people can give a false, yet professional-appearing resume and then you can test them and waste your time?  Are you crazy?  At least you can quickly eliminate those - what does it take 1.5 seconds to look and throw out?  Is this your biggest job complaint?  Why don't you quit complaining about your job - do you really expect to get all perfect resumes!!  Hello - anyone home in there?? I thought evaluating a resume was part of a recruiters job - respond to good ones and don't to the bad ones...you act like you want these folks working at Super Wal-Mart to present a nice resume -Now, why would you desire that?


 These jobs are posted on the INTERNET - expect some crazy people !! 


P.S. I've had to deal w/a lot of recruiters who need some serious help, but I don't feel compelled to give out any suggestions - they would not listen anyway.  Its simple when the company/recruiter is ever rude, unprofessional, unorganized, giving false info - I move on.  You get a joke of a resume - move on!!
