Dishonest
Got the same treatment,sounds like alot of us did, not just us 2 I am sure.
dishonest
Why are they dishonest? What do or have they done to make you feel this way?
DISHONEST TIMES 2!
I transcribed 1,195 lines and ichart reflected only 154.08 lines the next day! I documented line counts every day, and for one pay period it was 2500 lines off on their end! - disqualified from benefits too. NO answer from supervisor.
I see. So that's why you are calling her dishonest?
Apparently there were changes made. That does not make her dishonest. It means her plans changed.
Could you explain what was dishonest?
I got an email saying that I could not sustain my life with 1 doctor - so they would have to let me go - that = you aren't working here anymore. So, the next step is to call your unemployment office - they determine whether you are eligible to receive benefits or not - and because of the emails that the lead MT sent - she is the one who hung KS - it was determined that I was eligible. Then you look for work - for which there are many different aspects of what you apply for and what you do or do not accept - there are not so many employment positions for MTs -more IC jobs which do not count as employment. I did everything as layed out in the guidelines. KS just didn't want to be responsible for their part of the unemployment - siting laws in their state - which are not the same as those in the state where I live - and you state's laws are the ones that count - not theirs. Please tell me what is dishonest about this. I did nothing dishonest while working for KS - all I did was work. Oh, I did miss one TAT because my broadband was down - and that was in a year.
Well that's just plain dishonest then.
I wonder if the MTstars quote was actually written by the the recruiter him/herself then.  I think I'll pass on this company then.
Actually, I think we all would like to forget them. It has been proven that they are dishonest.

Right on Sista!! They are dishonest and friendly until

Defending dishonesty is being dishonest

I rest my case. Once again OSi shows how dishonest they are.
This makes me ashamed that I once worked for them, but also makes me glad that I work for a decent, honest company now and do not have to be a part of their BS!!
Yeah..they are dishonest. They most certainly are in India. Do you really want to work for someone
that is dishonest?? not me..
Most Indians in the MT business are dishonest scum

If you are such a dishonest person, maybe they saw through that and let you fall to the wayside inte
You should be ashamed of yourself. This is called FRAUD. It is ILLEGAL and can give you prison time. You deserve it. You give MTs a bad name and I hope no company EVER has to deal with you that they have a way to talk to KS or any other company you have ever done this to.

I also hope they catch you and prosecute you.
Please look at your posts defending dishonest cherry-pickers, then look at yourself.

How are they dishonest for taking out premiums for insurance that we signed up for? sm
Wow. People will bash any company for any reason.
RE:Sure is and the gal out of Nashville that runs it is a rather dishonest person - to boot. nm TNMT

I've feel for the same thing and tired of dishonest people.
My favorite was when a recruiter would actually do all of her recruiting by pretending to be an MT. She went to great length singing the praises of her company, even though others were badmouthing the company. She was very convincing until I put two and two together. Actually, she wasn't too smart. She private emailed me from the board as the MT saying that she would contact her boss to recommend me.. Well, though and behold her boss and her both had the same email. Now, do I look like a moron or what. So, honestly, I rarely trust those cheerleaders on here and just take it with a grain of salt because you never know who your talking to.
shouldn't ask but...
do you know the approximate line rate?
Shouldn't be the MT's job.

I DO NOT THINK IT IS THE MT’s responsibility to make followup calls after hired.  What do you pay the people in the office a nice fat hourly wage to do?  Sit in the office and surf forums and expect an MT to do their job for them?  


 


I can tell you one thing, if I wasn’t contacted back after hired I would find somewhere else to work! Jobs in this field are a dime a dozen. A company who would “forget” about me as fast as they hired me WOULD NOT deserve me, (usually most companies at least will wait a week or two to do that). 


 


This goes for all of the places that would do that to an MT and wasting their valuable time.  The nerve of these places. Shame on them. 


 


Just giving my 2 cents. 


Should I or Shouldn't I?
Went on interview with a hospital for transcription position.  I've been a MT 29 years now, last 10 years working for various transcription companies.  This particular hospital is very small, maybe 200 beds, but have merged with a larger hospital organization.  At present the transcriptionists are paid only hourly, but director says an incentive plan is on the table but not finalized yet.  The benefits are excellent.  Toward the end of the year, the transcriptionists will have the option to work from home, all equipment and everything provided by hospital.  There are only 2 shifts, day and evening, of which I will work evenings. The transcription also includes radiology.  When I asked about a minimum of maximum line requirement, Director says transcriptionists are not on production per se but minutes typed, anywhere from 60 to 100 minutes a day, and that would depend on the difficulty of the dictator, as she would not expect the maximum if the dictator was difficult to transcribe.   I will be getting a phone call tomorrow as to an offer, as the pay rates have changed since the merger, but  the old pay schedule was a base of $10.80 hourly and  max $18.80 hourly.    There will be probably a 20 to 25 mile commute one way.  What would you consider an acceptable offer.   I know the bottom line is what is affordable for me, but just want to get you guys input on the whole take.
Thanks in advance!
RE: Should I or Shouldn't I?
Accept the hourly offer, my opinion, whatever the final dollar amount.
If you are an IC you shouldn't have to ASK to take
off, you tell them you will be off. 
Right, but we shouldn't have to look it up
That's what those machines are for, remember?

Right - I shouldn't have to
they wouldn't hop along on their butts.
You shouldn't. But you will, believe me.

You shouldn't have to pay a fee, but there is a fee
involved that is usually absorbed by the company, but evidently JLG doesn't want to foot the cost.

This profession isn't greeting or flipping burgers at Wal-Mart or McDonald's.   Why hire someone off the street with no skills in the first place?

FT or PT shouldn't matter.

Pay should be based on your abilities and quality of your work instead of how much you can do sloppy just to get your lines.  There's nobody stopping you from going PT with several different companies.  I would never put all my eggs in one basket since every place runs low on work or overhires, etc... 


Makes more sense to me to work PT as an IC, unless you absolutely need benefits through an MT company, which I'd never trust since you don't know how long you'll have them if they don't have the work or lose the account, etc...  Too many things could happen to be able to depend on a single MT company.


Shouldn't it be give, not get?????
I hope you are not a QA or in charge of anything to do with grammer.
Shouldn't be dreaded
It is a good learning tool for those people who utilize it. If you are down the tubes for one report in a month, and minor errors, then its time to look for another job. Your QA department is not utilizing this as a learning experience, but as a means of attack.
Probably shouldn't ask, but whose pay got lowered 1 cpl?

We shouldn't matter. Only you
If you feel the need to push then go for it.  Do you think your coworkers really care if you have work or not?  I highly doubt it.    
Meant shouldn't have to pay
 
Granted, they shouldn't lie to you about
it, but they are not obligated to tell you one way or the other why accounts suddenly drop off.
Shouldn't have to beg for paycheck
Even if you change jobs while the DOL is investigating, you can still collect damages through civil suits. There are a lot of employment lawyers out there that are working on contingency - no money up front - because these cases are now being won and employers are having to pay up for breaking the law.

Although you shouldn't have to be a squeaky wheel to receive a hard earned paycheck, keep squeaking that wheel after you've left a company if a law has been broken. Believe me, there will be results in your favor if you have documented everything well.
First, it shouldn't have been happening sm

often enough for anyone to notice, meaning if they are truly monitoring, that person should have been dealt with immediately, not only when people complain.


Second, why would an email like that be sent to all the MTs?  If all of you aren't doing it, why punish everyone with these threats?


Whoever the **same person** is, that person should have been called by management and given an ultimatum.


Not at all! They shouldn't get preference over
regular MTs when work is low.  They should be basically just another MT; line up for work like everybody else and run out like everybody else.  We have lead MTs in our company too, who get paid extra to perform the lead duties but they don't take preference over the rest of us, i.e., they don't get work before/instead of  anyone else.  In this company, editors edit, not MTs (lead or otherwise). 
Should I or Shouldn't I take an in-house

hospital job? My friend at the hospital that I worked for as an IC for 10 years stated they are looking for another FT  MT. I left because the only way they would hire me as an employee was 2nd shift MT until an opening opened up on first shift, which I couldn't do due to my own admission that I can't stay awake past 8 p.m. most nights. I'm an early morning person.


I have been working for a national since then. I miss the hospital although we only have 40 doctors and I really did get bored transcribing the reports every day, but I kinda miss the camaradie of the job.  Can I work a 36 hours per week job and follow all their rules? I don't know since I've been a free agent for over 7 years; i.e., not very flexible with the hospital. I know the other MTs at this hospital would jump for joy if I were to get this job. They've been waiting so long for this. They all came to my aid when the last opening came up, but the HIM was totally strict on having to work 2nd shift, which I couldn't do then. Now she is gone, but I don't know if I would still have the same constraints.


I have been thinking of submitting my resume just to see what the outcomje would be. I can always turn the job down. After all, would I even get an interview because of my age? I don't know what they would use as an excuse not to hire me....


I'm really in a dilemma here. DH states I should follow my heart. Nah, I want to follow the money and bennies. Does anyone know what the average hourly pay is for in-house MT in a part rural setting in the northeast? I know it would be hard to answer, but I figure I would need $20/hour or more to make it worthwhile. Is this possible?


TIA

Precyse Solutions/should I or shouldn't I?
Got an offer. Could use some info on this company. Benefits sound pretty good, line rate decent for FT. They send their own computer. Curious about the platform...easy to learn? Good sound quality? Expander friendly? Nice people? Do they seem fair-minded? QA/team manager oversight...too much, too little or just right? Any feedback would be helpful.

No. You shouldn't give up your hospital job (sm)
because a few people are rude. BUT, there is a big difference between someone who is just rude and one who is verbally abusive.

Although I work from home, I still come in contact with people who are rude. That's just a fact of life and is never going to go away. However, I refuse to surround myself or associate with people who are verbally abusive.

I have been with them for quite awhile now, and I have always been paid, so do not worry. 


IC? No set hours if it's IC; shouldn't have to state
If it's employee, then that's a different story.
