That was not my case. I was very open-minded

Posted By: me on 2008-05-05
In Reply to: You know, this made me think of a wonderful job at - Diskriter

and hopeful that things would work out.  I based my decisions soley on my experience and not the experience of others, but like I said AL is good because I'm in a much better place now.

Open RadNet first and then open IT. Then the up Arrow and highlight to link, then OK.

I think if you test well they will consider you on a case by case basis without the full 5 years.
I would definitely contact them anyway.
they may be willing to make considerations on a case-by-case basis s/m
I have a couple of situations that make 8 hours straight not possible for me, and when I hired on with the company I was with who recently merged with Transcend, they worked with me to find ways that would help me be productive without hindering my physical and personal limitations.

I am not going to list specifics, but I was very impressed at how willing they were to help me and they told me that they are willing to make considerations on a case by case basis.
Because you are tunnel-visioned and closed minded
I've stated in NUMEROUS posts that you refuse to absorb that:
1. I took no cut in pay.
2. There is no compromise to patient care.

These are EXCUSES you've developed in your stubborn mind set to fall back on as justification to refuse to do VR, rather than admit you're scared you won't be able to cut it. It's as simple as that.

You're a completely negative force and I refuse to engage further with you.

Go ahead, trot down and apply for disability. Just more work for the rest of us who have open minds and are able to adapt to change and keep up with the times.

Adios.
freak?...immature, simple minded post

You silly, closed-minded, judgmental woman...
I am part of the MDI/Transcend merger, so if I choose to laugh at the irony of the entire MESS we are ALL involved with, I will.

Who made YOU the LOL police, or did you self-appoint yourself to that all-important position?

Get a grip. You're not the only one stuck in this crisis so climb off of that cross you're dangling from and save a tree, mmmkay???

I'm sure I'll love having YOU as a new co-worker *eye roll*

Kinda closed-minded, but you're entitled to your opinion.
I'd much rather work in Saudi Arabia than downtown Detroit. Talk about double-ugh!
keystrokes ad..can someone tell keystrokes their banner ad needs a hyphen...quality-minded

if you are open to another
company that hires part-time and pays PTO (with PT), e/m me.
Don't be so down on yourself. When that even better job comes open...sm

you'll be ready.  No biggie, and don't let the meanies get to you.  We all make mistakes, no one is perfect. 


She did say she would call you when the next job came open.  In the meantime, maybe call her back and ask her to make sure she calls your land line as it is the one you use most. 


It won't open for me either.

Are your eyes open?
Do you work for OSi? If not, quit bashing them. If so, why haven't you secured another position due to your unhappiness?
why they keep amherst open
amherst office runs all of the east coast offices. So you are probably safe if you tell HR you want to be managed by the west coast team. I think they are much nices to their MTs
keep your ears open
things are being restructured,it will most likely affect your office.
Still cannot open the files
The people at Type Right mentioned that they use Gear Player and that is what I use and I still cannot open up the files. I called technical support and they could not figure it out either. They said the files were corrupted. Sounds like something strange is going on if the rest of the people cannot open up the files either. I think I better pass on this company!
they have my open position at TTS
I QUIT! LOL
here's an open post for you
you are an idiot
No, I mean 60 positions open

and available for filling.  Even if she meant 16, that is quite a bit.  Again, more information available upon (E-mail) request.


keep your options open
nm
open letter

You could not said it any  better.!!!!


The HR is not open on weekends nm

go open your own company and sm
maybe then you can give all your profits to the MTs. NOT! I bet you would be like any other business owner, keep the profits. That is the point of having your own business!
Okay, lets get something in the open. (sm)
I am so not stressing about it. It was a random question because I have been lied to in the past about having to take a pay cut. Was it really a true need or a true greed?

Lets not fight about. There is nothing wrong with wondering.
Always keep an open mind, but...
Been here, done this several times, none have resulted in mutual benefit. My position, Transcend has much to prove.

P.
I always keep an open mind
I kept an open mind when the company I worked for (ddi, Inc) sold out to the Q.  It was fine for a couple of years and then......well, I wasn't there anymore, need I say more?
I see that open door

Yeah, I'll just get in line behind 10 former teammates that just got the ax, all the MDI'ers looking for a new gig, and locally, the 450 people whose plant just closed.  Once I get through that crowd, I can then compete with my current teammates who are also looking for a second job/replacement job because they are eyeying the open door too, in between competing with one another for work.


Once I claw my way through the desperate crowd of job seekers and into another job, I can wait a year or so, run across the same scenario at the next company, and start looking for work again when their work pool mysteriously dries up.


Or I could just blow my brains out and avoid repeating this loathesome, demoralizing cycle for the next 20 years until I'm retirement age.  Thanks for helping me ponder my options.


Well if that's the case..what about OSI? (sm)

Everybody now knows and they have admitted to outsourcing overseas...so why are they allowed to post of that's the rule of the boards?


In case you still need to know. sm

in this case, it is just a Name and nothing else..sm
have seen her post before under that name. It does not mean she is necessarily a newbie or a wannabe anything. in my opinion.
this has been in my case,
however, it may not be the same for all hires. In fact, i've wondered if you are really talking about the same company with the sun-thu or tue-sat schedule. No such requirements were put on me. Is this MDI out of Maryland? All we were expected to schedule when I was hired was any 2 weekend days per month. There has been no daily/weekly line quota. The best bet, as always, is to talk to the recruiter and see what they say.
Not the case
No work is definitely not the case. I personally have not taken a day off in 3 weeks because of OT (not complaining, need to $ anyway), so lack of work is not a problem. There is no problem as far as I am concerned. If you have such a problem there, go somewhere that suits you better. Try MQ!
just in case...

They get in a bind??  I don't know, but I get so many emails wagging the finger about how flexing was okay yesterday when the work was low (meaning nonexistant for many of us), but today we are building up, so if you have time to make up, do it now!  And then if 3 days on down the road a bonus comes up, you don't qualify because you don't have your hours/lines in.  So confusing...and somewhat unreasonable when you are a real person with a real family and other comittments besides being chained to your desk for a paycheck!! And please do not bash, I have a total of 6 backup accounts. 


Not the case at all.

Why is it when someone disagrees they are one of the chosen?  I think this is absurd.  I listened and do follow the rules and when I take my work I do it and then return for more .. the weekend is usually when those who do not follow rules throw their work back and the rules are set up specifically so that you know when you can go and pick any work that is available and not have to worry about preferred and selected and whatever.  After 20+ years in this business I have learned that worrying about what everyone else is doing or has for work has never helped me one iota.  Any service that does clinic work has a slow day and does it not make sense that if practices are closed on weekends that Monday is going to be a slow start with low work volume?  And, for the record, I was promised nothing, asked for the rules and follow them and work my schedule and extra is asked.  I do what is there for me and I don't think of myself as working only for certain dictators.  I do it all.  Some I like better than others but as an IC I understand how the work flow goes and pretty much it is the same from one place to the next. 


Additionally, I have another part-time job to pick up the slack.  A little planning on your part might be in order.  At tax time you would be glad to find it to your favor not to have just one client as an IC. 


If that's the case...
I would ask to have 1 account removed where there is no work and be put on an account that has work.

But, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to have more than 3 accounts.
The latter case, likely. It's also...sm
happened to me too many times to count.  We are routed several jobs at once, usually 3 or so.  I can usually see the next job(s) in the queue.... and sometimes know by the doc's number who the dictator is.  But when I try to load the next job, all of a sudden it'll disappear and usually replaced by crap work, ESLs, etc.  It usually occurs during certain shifts, if I need to work off of my regular shift.  The lead MTs in my co. do the distributing of work but theyalso have to get their own lines in.... so you know they're not keeping the s - - - jobs, ESLs for themselves.  I've decided that the next time this happens, I'll just contact the particular sup.MT and ask what's up?  Where was my work?  AND CC THE E-MAIL TO THEIR OWN SUPERVISOR.  i'll bet it'll stop quick!
in this case
pb doesn't mean peanut butter
If that is the case for you sm
then YAY you! There are at least 2 of us right here who had the same issue, so for you to be adamant that we did not, is just plain silly. I'd say if you are not experiencing what we are talking about, then this conversation DOES NOT pertain to you. Save yourself the stress and go about enjoying your IC position however you want to take it!
That is only the case...
if it is absolutely impossible to have the report transcribed in an emergency setting, but that is the exception, not the rule.  That is why there is a need for STAT MTs.  It's a fact.  Transcribed reports are needed on weekends.  That's just the way it is.
This has ALWAYS been the case. More so now than
.
Not so in my case
Been there 2 years, did not test, but had 20+ years experience. I don't believe they hire PT, but could be wrong. Monday mornings are a bit slow early, but usually picks up pretty quickly. My line rate was fairly good, and their incentive program (the more lines you do, the more you get paid per line back to line 1) is great. No one is happy with VR as far as pay anywhere, but I do believe there is no choice anymore, everyone will have to eventually do it. It is not fair what is being done to MTs because of VR. Yes, I do transcribe it faster, not twice as fast, which is what I would have to do to earn my normal line rate. Lastly, I am a happy TTer, and do not feel like I work for next to nothing. If I did, I would go elsewhere.
Which three offices will remain open?
Do you know?
I would open the discussion by calmly
asking what the procedure is for assigning work. If you don't get the info you need, ask if there are any other accounts available which will enable you to be more productive. If you are working in an atmosphere where you are afraid to ask questions, it sounds like the wrong job and you might need a change. Good luck.
Does anyone have the # to Spheris Help Desk? My TWS will not open. TIA

They have a recruiter position open that they
are advertising for.
I couldn't even get their test to open for me so I could take it.

Be aware of the open medical
in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Be very aware of the supervisor. Not a good place. Three new employees, all three walked within the first six months. Just thought I would put a warning out!!!
open letter to Diskriter

You are having such a horrid time filling those job positions that I am willing to give it a go, but only for 12 cpl. Let me know. Yours very truly.


 


You're SO right! Not only China, but now the US has an open (sm)
trade agreement with KOREA... another less-than-scrupulous part of the world.

As for the name of the guy you talked to in India, I have noticed that with Dell Computers. When you get tech support, whether on the phone or by email or instant message, they always have an American-sounding name. That seems purposely deceptive.
I still work there, started on 1st and have always been on 1st. Maybe it is what is open when you a
I work Monday through Friday only, 1st shift, do 125-130 reports a day by the end of my shift, sign off and have a life. I need time for gardening, shopping, Grey's Anatomy and MTStars!
It is open to debate, like everyhing else
