In Reply to: You have a chip on your shoulder. - the above poster answered clearly

for this posting. Now I have the information I wanted. When the above posting talked about the employer, I was asking about the independent person- was not asking about employer and what they are supposed to do. This posting helps me out. Thanks again.

Hmm, sorry thought you said it hardly ever got anything wrong?
I must have just been thinking this up then, huh?
maybe administrator read it wrong and thought it was bad - but I wasn't saying
anything bad. Just an observation and just a vent. Maybe it belonged on the Gab board. Siiiiggghhh
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is 4 cents a line for VR with them I thought. nm

I'm sorry. Posted to the wrong board.
Thanks.
Before I get screamed at sorry I posted on the wrong board....
my apologies.
I may be posting this question on the wrong board but
does anyone know who manufactures or carries a computer chair that has arms which pivot from the position at each side of the chair (regular position for armrests) to the front of the chair which gives you a really nice armrest. I saw one chair like this recently, but before I could even look into buying it, the college that was using it put it in for their auction and I lost track of it. It was the nicest chair I have ever sat in and the one I have now is ready for retirement. Thanks so much if anyone knows of this. :)
Oops wrong board. Another mistake by me
I had just got off the phone when I did this.  I am going to take a long break from the computer
oops.wrong board. pls ignore.

I thought the famous co on this board had that
aa
I thought on the job board, you had to give
Did this rule change, since there are no more sponsors? I would think that once they know they have to put the name up top most of these scams and out-of-USA posts would stop right away.
oops..went back 2 far and posted on wrong board
sorry
Oops, thought I was on Main Board.

thought you might be interested in this, taken from the main board
It is a horrible story that is becoming almost the norm...

I was told today by a national transcription company that due to my lack of experience in the last eight years.... that I was unqualified to work for them as they need people with recent acute care status. I have worked for a group of orthopaedic surgeons for eight years and went to work for them because my job at the hospital was phased out due to outsourcing. I have 36 years of experience as a Transcriptionist and all but the last eight were in a hospital setting. I am shocked to find out that I do not qualify for their company. The work at our clinic is dwindling and even though they are hiring three new docs this coming year, none of them are going to be allowed to dictate as they will be required to use the EMR only. All of us sit by our desks waiting for that next job to show up and hopefully if you are lucky enough, you are the one who grabs it first. I used to work every evening and weekend. That has happened in the last five months. Sorry for the venting. It has been a tough struggle with a laid...
I posted on the wrong board .. sorry. But the bank said since she had my passcode (I stupidly sm
kept it hidden in my billfold) that I am liable.   My concern is that while I am fighting everything, I will end up on the street.  Work had been light and was just trying to turn around, and now this.  Sorry to have whined.  Desperate times, desperate measures, I guess. 
Ooh I was so aggravated I said it wrong. IE Board or not, no excuse for being nasty. I dont think it

This is sad - I never thought that THE OWNER OF THIS board would support offshoring - sm
or should I say embrace offshoring. My husband and I have lost jobs to offshoring. Our one son has had to drop classes and has to go an extra two years to college because we cannot afford to send him full time because of the loss of our jobs and having to take dramatic pay cuts. I am with two transcription services without benefits. My hospital job was contracted to C-Bay, which as you know, is an Indian based company. I could go on and on, but I won't.

I have been on this board for three years and have enjoyed, learned, shared, and bonded on this site. This is such a let down that I actually cried over this. I thought I had a place to vent and share and learn with other transcriptionists. I enjoyed knowing that I could sign on with a company that posted on this website knowing that the company did not offshore. But that is no longer the case.

I wish my fellow transcriptionists the best of luck in holding on to their homes and lives and jobs. I can no longer support or be a part of something that offshores. I have lost too much both personally and financially to offshoring.

It is with great sadness that I leave this site. Thank you.
I must've gotten lost--thought this is an adult board
Go back to your friends at MySpace...you'll fit in better there.
Actually, I thought advertisers on the job board had to disclose the name of the company, but

maybe I am mistaken.


geesh, I thought the main board hosted the nasty trolls

God forbid the poor poster made a mistake by posting on the wrong board!! Good grief!

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
You are wrong! Here is the ad. I got it too. There are no words spelled wrong and the caps are pa
This is pasted from the bottom of the email blast.

Why are you trying to stir up trouble? Keystrokes does not send ANYTHING offshore.

Here is the email blast from ILHIMA. The KS logo is at the top but does not paste here:

I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company.  I work days (and some nights) with this company.  I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night.  Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working.  Do you have to have set hours at your company #2?  Thanks for the suggestion.
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on

the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post.  Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.


Thank you,


Administrator

SO WRONG

You are so wrong in your assumption!  Although she is not with us anymore, the records need to be set straight.  Shannon has over 10 years of medical transcription experience and typed on every account we have at MDI.  You may have thought she didn't transcribe but that was because she was too busy typing on other accounts and doing the job she was hired to do which was to manage ALL of the accounts.  So before you begin to drag Shannon into the line of fire, please do your research.  She was hired to do a job which she did very well and she will be sorely missed.


Wrong, just someone who has to SM
work with people like you and is really tired of listening to the persecution complex.  I'll bet you have the same problems with the job you have now, right?
Wrong again
Actually, it's y'all - for you all.

Ya'll is for you will.

The contraction divides the words.
WRONG!
Before you start cutting people down, why don't you do a little bit of research on your own? Flossie is not QA DIRECTOR. BS is QA Director. Flossie is QA MANAGER. There IS a difference. And she's a DAMN GOOD ONE at that!!!!
Wrong !!!
She is out of town.
Man, you are WAY out there -- WRONG.
If you're working for MQ, you're getting up to $50 a month DSL reimbursement, not $30.

YOU pay to update your computer??? How is that?

You'd be paying your electricity anyway, unless you live so frugally from the stoneage that you don't require electricity. If you're an SE, you can claim part of that on your tax filing -- if you have a designated room for an office. As well, you can claim any rental fees for equipment -- if you're an SE.

It's your job to make sure what you are typing is correct. Asking to be paid for researching what you are responsible for is as idiotic as saying you should be paid to run spellcheck. Geez.

Virtually every part of the demographic screen is filled in and they provide all the search tools for that. On occasion you MIGHT have to type a patient's name in. Get over your bad self.

If you want to be paid for actual time you spend regardless of how productive it is in lines, then you need a job with an hourly pay instead of production. That simply isn't how it is done. You don't like it? Get an hourly job. Don't like that? Get into a different line of work.
That is where you are wrong...
There are a lot of MTs employed at OSi, so where does this "me along with everyone else" come in to place.  Oh, let me guess...you and all the other smart people?  lol!  too funny
Are you ever wrong about anything?

Opinions are always welcome...if they are not shoved down our throats.  You make me choke.


What is wrong with you?
You obviously do not work for MQ and are very rude.
You are wrong
Nothing is paid for if you work out of Amherst MQ other than production time and PTO time. I was directly told that. No exceptions!
