The trainer didn't email you?

Posted By: also. on 2007-08-19
In Reply to: I plan to call tomorrow for my password and I'll ask then. - op

My trainer sent me an email letting me know that my computer would be arriving and to confirm when my training would start.

In the email, she gave me my user ID and password to log onto the computer. This is so I could set it up and make sure the internet was working properly before calling the specified number.

Maybe they don't do that with everyone? I don't know.

I'm doing okay at MW after 2 months. Didn't have the trainer screw-up that you had. TL and QA

Meanwhile, it is time to submit a timesheet and I have no idea where to send it or how to set it up.  I think I have been plenty patient.

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.
Didn't you get the email explaining this
situation? To me the email was made it very clear about the error...I realize that change can make a person panic but I think TT MTs are safe, the company followed up very quickly on the matter and seem to have it under control. Relax
I didn't see any email, yesterday?

I tried the email again and it didn't work, so

I'll just post it here. Maybe if you email me it might be easier.


 


Hi Fatcat,


I'm trying this email again and hope that it gets to you.  I'm an IC at MDI too and I have 2 accounts that both have no work today.  I've been considering taking on another job part-time, but most of the ads are for full-time or for ICs where they set a schedule for you.


I just wanted to ask you if you know of companies that will hire ICs part-time and allow for a flexible schedule?  Also, how do you juggle the second IC position when most require a Saturday or Sunday and that's when most of the MDI work comes in?  I'm so afraid of taking on a second job and then finding I'm over my head.


Didn't get your email - Unless you weren't talking to me.
In that case, nevermind :)
Didn't you just LOVE the latest TT email?

Congratulating us for getting all the work caught up last night and pointing out we weren't EVEN OFFERED A BONUS.  Nice.  Yes, those of us at TT are so desparate for work that when it finally shows up, we don't need a bonus to work our fingers to the bone and those in Management crow about it. 


Made me throw up a bit in my mouth. 


Feel lucky you didn't get a rejection email. I have over 16 years experience
and this is the first test, since the very beginning of my career, that I have not passed.  I am stunned.  I'm not perfect by any means, but this is the first real rejection. I understood it early in my career, but after all this time, and working the past five years doing acute care for a couple of nationals, I get turned out by this company because I failed the test and they do not even tell you which part. I needed this job, but I guess it's back to the drawing board.
Didn't that TransTech email about them going to Vegas and us POOR MT's paying for that trip ju

rub us struggling MT's when she sent out that email to us.  She didn't say how many went to LV -- just bye . . . we're off! 


Enjoy the light of the Dictaphone flashlight begging for a job for you, while we enjoy the lights of Vegas !


YUK !  Totally irritated this TT MT.  Sickening, in fact.


mt trainer
that's the point. no one got it. they ended up saying that the owner was too busy to do any hiring. I interviewed for it too. 2 weeks of my time for nothing.
What trainer?
Initials
Well of course the trainer is going to say

she loves Meditech, then if there is an issue it becomes your problem. 


I do wish you well, but Meditech just doesn't get any better. 


Well you said up above it was regarding the trainer position
and they wasted your time. Now you have a problem with the way the owner conducted the interviews? I work for this company so I don't like to see the owner knocked down.
My trainer is not so good.
I love the company, but I am not very impressed with my trainer.
Shannon T. is the trainer there
who trained me and another MT. Neither one of us worked there long; we had the same supervisor, GH. If you go with Milner and have Shannon as your supervisor, you might like working there. Shannon seemed like she'd be a good supervisor. She certainly was an excellent trainer.
Nah, the newbie had the best trainer...
including asking to work OT without recording...I have already seen it.  She is definitely a keeper!  Only those who refuse to do so are fired or made to be miserable so they leave on their own. 
did anyone have to call MDI-MD trainer for their
Bayscribe training? They said if I didn't hear from them by 15 minutes after my scheduled time to call them. Its looking like I am going to have to call in about 5 minutes. Just wondered if this is common?
Is there anyone who works as a trainer? sm

I have been working as a trainer for well over a year.  I have many, many years experience in MT and QA.  I am trying to get information on what the average pay is for a trainer.  Thanks for any info!


Told by trainer. But you're right

I have to call again.  I'll have to get on the phone and call tomorrow morning nice and early. 


I am interviewing for a trainer position. What would
you ask for per hour?  I will be training all new employees on the software that the company uses.   Thanks for any input.  Yes, by the way, I have been with this company for several years but not sure what to ask for in this position.  Thanks!!!
I have been contacted by a trainer in the US already. Still unsure about this.
They said they would overnight the pedal. Still unsure if I should change jobs. Yikes! If anybody could suggest a safer bet that would be appreciated too. Thanks for your feedback!
Yes, it seems to be rather slow. The trainer said she loved it, though, sm

so I will hang there awhile longer.  Perhaps I just do not know all of the tricks.  I was told to wait 3 months before asking for any changes, so I don't want to rock the boat right off the bat.  So far, everyone has been really great to me.


Thanks for your input -- glad to know I'm not the only one who is not fond of the platform.



CMT trainer for MT course on job seeker's board?

Now they want us to give out trade secrets to our international labor partners, aka Asian MTs?  That's like training your successor before you know you are being fired.  The indignities of this profession are piling up....


How is the trainer, team leader or regional mgr
They've already said that it could be months, maybe even into next year, before all the problems can be fixed.  Why would the team leaders or trainers have answers that the technical team doesn't even have, and if they do, why haven't they fixed it for everyone??
Winnie you're a great trainer
You're at Medware right? A lot of former OSI'ers have gone to Medware.
They usually give you an appointment with your trainer once your stuff has arrived. nm

Support very slow, had to train myself on platform. Trainer kept

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..

No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.  
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm
nm
They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
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.
tried to email you but your email is invalid
?
Is there an email address I can email them at. nm
:
Why email me? You want people to email you. NM
.
I tried to email you but it said your email is invalid. Can

you email me please.


The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.

We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.

We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
She didn't say she didn't have a family. A family isn't just kids. sm

She also said she didn't have kids. Why do you think you're so much better  BECAUSE you have kids?  I am so sick of that attitude.  I don't have kids, never wanted them, but have been discriminated against in jobs because of it.  Everyone figured since I had no kids I could work all the time.  I said NO!  Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have a life or that my life is not important.   


BTW I work part time too. 


Thanks! Not sure why I didn't think of that
but that is what I will do from now on!
Thank you - I didn't know. :) nm

Are you sure she didn't say she has been
a recruiter for years (not necessarily with Keystrokes)?  Because I was hired at another company a number of years ago and she was the recruiter, maybe there was a misunderstanding?
I did all that and it still didn't come up....oh well
I think there is just trouble with imail. This happened to me the day before yesterday too. To get to the MQ board click on forums (left blue menu) then click on company forum, (you obviously did that) but then look to the blue menu on the left and now Medquist appears under company board and before offshore board. See ya there.
What $125? I didn't see anything like that.
And there's a charge if we return the computer before three months? I heard they were the absolute best company out there. I simply can't make a decent line count. I sent out three resumes on fulltime local nonMT jobs yesterday because I haven't been able to earn a decent steady income doing MT for a year now. I'm not going bankrupt over this. I don't see why it has to be this difficult. I'd be totally loyal, stay with a company, and move into a more responsible position if I could find the right company.
I didn't know that.

So those who are moseying along, getting in their 11,000 whenever, are making as much as the ones who work really hard to get their line counts into the incentive range?


I wonder if there are any other companies out there that reward mediocrity?  If so, maybe it's time to lower my own personal standards to fit in with the new trend.


you didn't
Boy that was quick! Like I said, it was my oversight and I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. You didn't deserve it.
I didn't get it either.

I didn't think that was possible
NONE - no cable, no DSL? How can that be in this day and age. I only have 2 choices here - Comcast or Verizon DSL. Verizon is out for me and it is a drag when Comcast has outages all the time.

I do work on an a/c where I've worked using dial-up with Comcast down - uses Quadris with VPN server. Worked just fine on dial-up. No problem getting into VPN at all, and able to type & save reports quite well.

Another a/c - uses IDX with no VPN - didn't work w/o high speed.

Definitely can't use dialup tho for any voice files. Only for a/c's with phone dictation.

As to foot pedals - try eBay. Plenty of other sites where people are selling equipment.
