I know I made over $60K as a QA manager. An MT manager
I am told is less money but definitely NOT as low as $36,500. I would not do it for $36,500.

The majority that I hear and see (and many are not advertised) are around $45K. You are giving yourself away for that. You might be working for a company that I received an offer from at one time. Great people but could not afford to work for that kind of money. Way too low to be on call 24/7.
Emailing everyone
You go!! Don't forget Lou Dobbs...he loves to talk about the evils of outsourcing...this would give him LOTS to talk about.
Try emailing QA sm
I was off QA after about 3 days.
I would like to know also, why emailing you?
This is what this board is for, to post so others can see and make decisions on places.
Maybe try emailing
I would try emailing again and checking status of what they are doing. I know they were very busy with a lot of applicants. Wouldn't hurt to just get your name out there again and email to see where they are at.
Maybe instead of emailing...
If you have a phone #, give them a call and hopefully you'll get someone to talk to and get some kind of explanation.

I think I'd be a little concerned because, as KYM points out, you're not getting a response from more than 1 person/department.

I'd definitely be polite but proactive and find out what's going on.

Good luck :-)
as far as them emailing me...
I've had 2 companies tell me they were interested and wanted to set up an interview date, then heard nothing after I responded so I can't help but wonder what will happen with any other company from now on.

Testing was on the typical mttest site-real easy. I don't know if I'm supposed to mention what specialties I had on the transcribing part, but I had 4 files that were actually pretty good.

I saw 2 old posts about them before and it just mentioned that people were happy with them. I didn't see anything negative.

Sorry I can't give any work experience with them. Good luck to us and anyone who applied though.
Would you mind emailing me?
I'd like to reduce the hours I work and/or pick up another IC job.  Thank you.
Emailing daily log........ sm

Do yourself a huge favor.  If you don't have a scanner, buy one!  I keep a handwritten log and at the end of the day I just scan it into an email.  You certainly don't need another screen to contend with. 


would you mind emailing me.... TIA nm

Do you mind emailing me regarding
Are they very strict on the requirement of having 5 years experience as an 'editor'? I have been an MT for 8 years but have only edited for a few months.
Would you mind emailing me too... sm
I've been thinking about applying there myself... thank you.
Try emailing or calling your former STM. nm
.
No communication? They are calling and emailing me
/
Allegiant MT - Would you be interested in emailing me?
I'd like to ask you some questions.  Thanks
Why only emailing you for answers, why so secreative?
NM
Good luck with emailing that one
like a 12-year-old IM'ing her pals. How professional or NOT.  Unfortunatley this situation is not isolated as there have been many before you and surely will be many after.  No no communication, no nothing.  Some of us were just smart enough to get out while the getting was good. 
Hey shortcake, would you mind me emailing you about JLG?
nm
Fatcat, I just tried emailing you, but it came back.

Could you email me, please?  Thanks! 


They contacted me within 30 minutes of emailing my resume!! nm

Did any of you try emailing or calling D herself? Perhaps things have changed sm

since I worked there, but it used to be you could talk to her and she would listen and make things right if she could.  Maybe she is not as much involved in those things anymore and it is mostly C handling things.  It just seemed worth a shot.  It is sad to see so many people unhappy and scared for their livelihoods. 


Good luck. 


Have you tried emailing Instant Text tech support? sm

Sometimes if it doesn't work exactly perfect they can send you a fix to make it work. The link is on their webpage somewhere and they have a forum where you can search, too.


Only took 5 min & my post re:dont waste time emailing
.
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line
NM
You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Former QA Manager
your "former nurse" is inaccurate. This person was a great manager. She was a valuable assest to the dept. in that position. Any company would be lucky to have her.
As a former QA Manager....
I often said, only slightly in jest, that a full psychiatric eval would be a total GODSEND. Unless you've been on the receiving end of MTs who can't accept that diagnosing an 83-year-old female patient with AIDS (dictated "of advanced age"), is WRONG, then....welll.... (She claimed that she knew as much as ANY doctor, so who was I to suggest that she was wrong?)

And then there's the MT who believed that it was her first amendment right to transcribe whatever she liked because, dangnabit, she was a doctor in a 3rd world foreign country in a former lifetime...and threatened lawsuits because she was smarter than ANYONE else, so couldn't be touched by anything with white genetics...

Believe me. Psych tests aren't a bad idea.

No, not the manager.
Those were the responses I got when I asked about the sign on bonus. I was trying to dig up their old ads. You are right about the headers and footers too. My paycheck was short almost $500.
Re: manager
I'm not the person you were asking, but the person I'm pretty sure you're referring to is still there as of now, so guess it wasn't her. In fact, she seems to be handling it quite well.
Ops Manager
Do you mean the owner or someone else? I guess I have stayed under the radar so far. C
Have you tried to tell anyone about it? Such as your manager or sm
the Solution Center? They trouble-shoot issues like this all the time. Oh and don't blame the platform - it could indeed be caused by your routed or your ISP. I've been with them for 8+ years and no major platform problems.
All I know is that my first manager
told me that medical transcriptionists have always been job hoppers, always looking for a better deal, and that was back in 1990-something. It was after that that MQ came on the scene and started changing the industry for the worse IMO.
OSi manager job

Hi.  I've been an MT with them for a while, and it IS as bad as people say it is, but an account manager position has come open and I'm thinking about selling my soul to the devil.  (Sorry--I'm poor, and as anyone knows who has typed for them, the second I start making money, they add 15-trillion more hospital accounts for me to try to learn, slowing me way down.)


Does anybody know how much an account manager position with them might PAY and whether it requires RELOCATION?  Neither of these crucial points are mentioned in their job ad.  I'd ask them directly but I think I've been a thorn in the side of some of the higher-ups, though maybe not the ones I'd need to get along with, so I don't want to make myself known just yet.  Anybody know?  Thanks.


Who is the ops manager?

Not the Manager

I could bet you anything that you NEVER had an issue with the Manager.  There are two people we report to, a supervisor and a manager.  Yes, the supervisor can be a bit abrasive at times but as long as you stick to your schedule, produce your line counts and maintain your quality, normally nothing is said to you.  One always has the right to go to the Manager if there is something that cannot be resolved.


If there are QA inconsistencies, there is a QA Challenge Program.  I have had errors removed and I have also had them stick. 


I have transcribed for over 15 years and I have never found a better company.  I believe there are a lot more happier MTs than there are unhappy MTs at Axolotl. 


They are able to offer us such good benefits and line rates because Axolotl is known for their quality.  They are truly different than any other National company and/or in-house company/hospital, that I have worked for.


No, I'm not the manager! (nm)
I do currently work for Milner, and I'm happy here, but not everyone has the same experiences with companies.
Talk to your manager about it first of all. Then...
...if that doesn't work, most companies, depending on how much they are hiring, can find you a spot if they want you bad enough.

Sometimes recruiters are really restricted on what they can hire for, but if there are a lot of openings to fill I can hire a M-F person if it's a deal breaker and I absolutely don't want to lose them.

However, it doesn't happen often, the person typically has to have a spotless track record and reputation in the field, and they possibly will have to fit into a potentially difficult-to-fill niche (oncology or very high ESL, for example), but it's not unheard of.

Good luck!
Why would hiring be better with a new HR manager? The HR manager should not do the hiring. sm
The recruiter should hire. The HR manager should do the job of any normal HR manager and make sure the legal issues are done, benefits, etc. A recruiter is the hiring personnel. The HR manager is to do the inside job of human resources. That should make no difference other than with the benefits.
Yes the operating manager
is nasty and they want you committ to them but they will not committ to you. 
BIG 3rd on the operations manager! sm
She is as nasty as they come. Sweet as sugar until you have worked there for a little while. I REALLY suggest you stay away. They don't value their employees in any way.
What manager did you e-mail?
I have had nothing but excellent feedback from Lee Perfect training manager. She replies to my e-mails all of the time. I received my foot pedal in three business days. This sounds very strange what you are going through because I did not experience it whatsoever.
Awful HR manager
Jim with Zylomed offered me a job and told me he would send me my papers. I waited and waited and no papers. I e-mailed him and called him and he totally ignored me. How unprofessional is that. Company definitely sounds screwed up just like most national companies these days. This career is really making me depressed with so much crap we have to put up with! Any others experiencing this?
The ortho manager IS the BEST!
Best manager (and company) I've worked for in over ten years.
Is this from the wonderful OSi QA manager?
This is what I would expect from her.
Has TT lost the QA manager?
?
I'm in agreement, but how bad of a manager
3 jobs.  How on earth would they even be able to manage anything?  I would have to assume that management is nonexistent for the people under that manager at those companies!
My lead at TTS is a manager at

a different company too. She hasn't been at TTS long but can never be found either.
Yep and where else will you find a manager who.....
works weekends and actually responds in a timely manner?
Why do you stay then? I am sure that if you went to your manager sm
you would get your issues resolved. If someone promised something, go to Edited by Moderator. They will make sure that it is followed through. Being miserable and negative will only hurt your mood and productivity. Have them fix it or find somewhere else that makes you happy. I left MQ after many years to work for KS and am very happy. I have been there a while now though, and go straight to Edited by Moderator to get something I need. That's her job and she is happy to do anything for anyone.
Yes, but I was only paid $16 when I was a manager and I sm

went back to MT.  It is not unusual for me, even at 8 cents a line, to make $30 an hour.  When I was managing, I had just had a small stroke and my hands and head were not connected properly, but that was temporary.  (When it did finally come back, it was much better than it had been before.)


I could not tell you why managers are paid so little, or why MTs are paid so little either. The only way that MTs make big bucks is with speed and as a manager, you have no way to increase your income.
