Crack me up

Just because you post a response to a question about a company does not mean you are automatically a "cheerleader" for that company.  Sure there are some out there, but some of us actually have nice things to say about our companies.  Is that wrong?  Also, if someone defends their company, it doesn't mean they are management or "gossip control" and not everyone that posts a positive remark about company is reporting directly the the CEO of that company. 


Some MTs are fortunate and lucky enough to like their jobs with their companies.  I applaud them, as most of us know that is hard to find these days.


You crack me up, too.

OMG you crack me up constantly

Thanks for the laugh!


People like you crack me up
MS size=2>

We DO pay double or triple the taxes you pay! Are you that clueless?


And people like you think that because my husband sacrificed much of his young adult life to get a GOOD education, get a GOOD job and keep it for the past 20 years, working his way up the corporate ladder to the job he has *earned*... you think we should be penalized for this and pay your share of taxes too, right?


This is America, land of opportunity.  If you chose to waste your opportunity and settle for a mediocre life of barely scraping by, that was your choice. I know because I made the same choice myself.  I didn't want to go to college, and now I'm paying for it with my mediocre job of being an MT. I am fortunate to have a husband who worked very hard to provide for us and we enjoy a comfortable income.  We have the right to complain about taxes because we pay a TON more than you do.  But people like you have to say snotty things because you are miserable with your own life.


 


Shelly, you crack me up. You stated before you

cannot make enough money working for a service so you work full time at a local facility and part time for Transcend.  If these programs were so wonderful, you should be able to make wonderful money on them so you would not need 2 jobs. 


RE: Shelly, you crack me up. You stated before you
I prefer to work outside of the home. For me, interaction with real people is more important, that is why I work two jobs, and my part-time job is just that, part-time.
I don't care for crack (especially butt) either. nm
nm
I didn't care 4 that crack, missy!

While we pound our brains out until our backs ache and our wrists crack and pop
The trend toward more and more hospitals hiring for work-at-home MTs is helping and if they'd all go that route it would solve the problem.
These people making combined income of over $100,0000 crack me up! sm
They act like it is petty cash. Then again, maybe it is to them, but I sure would like a chance to have that kind of money.
You are soooo right!. sm

Every time I have called I have gotten a total attitude from them as if I am ruining their day by calling.  It's their darn job to help me so get over it!!! I DREAD calling them.


Well, I am soooo happy to see that I am not the
thought, huh????????  I'm the one who responded about getting an 86 on it.  I really felt badly about the whole thing, especially since it was the VERY FIRST MT test I took straight out of school.  But now I see others think it's ridiculous as well.  You should have seen their snotty email to me.  We require a minimum of 3 years current hospital MT experience for consideration of an at-home position. Thank you for your interest.  That's it, nothing else.  Why in the heck didn't they just say that to begin with?  I never would have bothered taking the darn thing!  Plus, there are those out there with 20 years of experience who can't pass that rotten test.  Then, too, there are companies who don't even respond at all.  So I guess I should consider myself lucky that Mr. Snot responded at all.
Me too! Love my job soooo much! nm

Well if it was soooo horrible...
Why didn't they say that??  I only received three or four corrections on it and this was on an ESL speaking doctor, so for a first-time run at it I don't see that as horrible.  I type for a large 300-bed acute care hospital and also do IC work for a brain and spine trauma center and my QA is 98%++.  As far as this being a test, this was an actual report that was pulled off the system to type.  This was not something dictated from a year ago, it was just dictated.  When I applied to them there was no testing, no phone interviews or anything.  Basically, I received an email stating they could use me on this account and then I was set up.  From where I come from you train your people so that there is no confusion on how a typed report should look since essentially they are a legal document and everything needs to be in order.  You can say all you want, but I think this company lacks PR and to me that is as important as how much a company will pay.  I'll just keep my own accounts and be happy.  I don't have any complaints from them, only happy referrals to other offices.
I am soooo the opposite
If I were making this posting, I would be asking if anybody knew who made a 'clicky' keyboard, because to my ear, they're all too quiet. I need to be able to 'hear' what my fingers are doing, which may make sense to some of the people on here. I don't know if it's some kind of subconscious thing or what, like instantaneous letter counting or something, but I can almost 'hear' a typo and God only knows what I would be typing if I didn't get that immediate feedback. I just turn up my volume and, if it's really tough, type really gently through the bad section (and hopefully it's just a sentence or so).

But in answer to your question, it seems to me that a lot of the black Microsoft keyboards are pretty darn quiet, both the straight and ergonomic ones.
well said and soooo true NM
.
soooo true....

As if our pay isn't low enough.  Cut me a break!  If we don't smarten up and start saying no to these low-paying jobs, it will never end; it will just keep getting worse and worse. 


Soooo many people have left!
I know that at least 20 or so people quit around the same time I did! Even though it is super annoying, it is sometimes funny to read their e-mails when they are panicking because they don't have enough people.
I soooo feel your pain!
and it makes me angry too. I have done this since 1980 and never had a raise. As a matter of fact, I used to make more!! Everybody wants to do medical transcription and I get asked about it all the time. I tell them NOOOOOO, you do NOT want to do this. The ads out there make it sound like you can make so much money, and while as a good Transcriptionist you CAN make better than average money, it never goes past that point. Working at home is not all it is cracked up to be. I only did it because I wanted to be home with my kids. Now I am sorry to be stuck in this rut.
She is soooo anal....find something better..nm
xxxxx
Linda, you are soooo right, when I was younger and dumber....sm
I was sooo afraid of using shortcuts, I watched the screen like a hawk and typed everything verbatim and screwed myself out of so much money!  I wondered what the secret was to all those MTs who would chat up a storm, and till make a higher line count than me, and they had less experience....They used their shortcuts/expanders for everything, and once I learned this and worked on mine, my line count zoomed and I consistently made high incentive pay and bonus....don't underestimate this tool.  Thanks for bringing this up, Linda! 
Soooo nice. This is the place I will retire from. nm

Soooo...if those WITH lots of experience are being offered
d
soooo, you are posting anonymous posts to your own
posts now??? How childish. Besides that, I did not see any copyright mark on the eye rolling thing, and I was not responding to YOU, but to someone else. I thought you were *bored* and had moved on. Apparently not because you always have to have the last word about anything. I guess that makes you feel that your are always right, as well as a people abuser. LOL.
If you are serious about the belittle part, report it. My mentor was soooo nice. (sm)
Report feedback very prompt and helpful, not demeaning in any way. Did the required number of reports to be monitored, got above the 98% and then received congratulation E-mails for doing so from my mentor and STM.

Good manners and friendly attitude are a BIG part of the company. If this person was truly rude or unhelpful, please let HR and/or your assigned STM know.


Ditto that! Psych is soooo boring. Feel bad for people and their many problems, but not
s
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!!!
NM
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??
too funny
nm
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
nm
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!
Too funny.
I have two dried up accounts as well. Yet they are still hiring. Go figure.
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.
lol that was funny

Mac, you are 2 funny. nm

That's funny...
I don't care who you are!
funny
  And I like your name - Mari Wisely  Cute !
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!!


 


TOO FUNNY !
SAme thing happened to me ! After I resigned from Focus, It took them a good two weeks afterward to acknowledge my notice of resignation. They are sooooo ignorant and unprofessional !
How funny..
I was paid late. Supposed to have been paid Friday and still waiting.

MOST of the time DD works better than waiting for checks to arrive.
Thats is too funny
Sounds like sour grapes to me.
TOO FUNNY!!!!
Can tell its getting late - but Im right there with ya with the Dippity DOO
