You might try contacting QA directly ...

Posted By: susan s. on 2008-10-26
In Reply to: Very strange question - anon for now

I agree, this makes no sense and my guess is all the HIPPA folderol is just a smokescreen this person is throwing up (for whatever I do not wanna deal with this or stick my neck out for ANY reason) ...


alternatively -- I would recommend saving each and every report you type from this person AND THEN  flagging the report for QA  so you can fill in your own blanks if no one wants to help you.  I type several doctors who  -- without samples -- speak in some impenetrable monotone ... without my file of samples, their reports would be moth-eaten.


good luck - if your company has a chat board or if contacting someone else on that account/WT might be a (much less convenient and/ or discrete) alternative.


Good luck, Yes, people do actually quit jobs over dictators like that ... too bad so many companies seem to blame the MT and some imaginary work ethic problems when the real problem, imho, is lack of support. 


All this turnover of MTs (or any other employee class) is VERY VERY bad for any company's bottom line...  but so many companies seem to blame the MT personally ... it poisonous.

Why don't you try contacting --sm
Fox News, as they seem to be following this pretty closely and they may be able to direct you to someone or somewhere for help. Good Luck to you and your kitty!
Were you contacting him regarding a position?
What are they looking for now?  Do you know if they have a website?
I too suggest contacting them. sm
From my experience they are very happy to try to work things out with you. 
Only that they would be contacting me this week.
I got an email from tammy? who said someone would contact me this week, so we'll see.
Contacting Allegiant

Thanks,

About contacting an attorney - sm

I too would like answers because half a truth is worse than a total lie because you mislead with half the truth and do much damage.  Please clarify these issues for us.


1.  Why would the company go to all the trouble to pull this two-bit prank when they could just say good bye to you if they wanted to.  You have been ranting to all of us on shift with you for months about how you have been mistreated and were going to sue the company and demand unemployment.  You did not tell the good MTs here who are ready to take your side and defend your position that All Type has a 3 strike rule and that you have told several of us that you were written up once for failing to make production of 1200 lines a day and then spewing some pretty foul language in an email to a supervisor about them making you do OP notes and type ESLs and how that was not fair to you.  It is an acute care hospital.  That is what we do.  Do you remember telling us about being written up for falsifying your time card?  Honestly, that is pretty serious.  If you were the one telling us that, i cannot even imagine what you are not telling us and what your personnel file looks like. 


2.  I have not seen anyone leave, voluntarily or involuntarily on our team in some time.  So who are you referencing when you say a lot of people quit or were fired.  No one stays at a company that is horrendous and unfair out of the kindness of their heart.  Are you telling us you just felt sorry for the company and the management team you hated and stayed to help them out? 


3.  Evidently you believe that you are a very high caliber employee and MT.  I would think you would be able to go anywhere and find a perfectly wonderful job.  I know most companies are just begging for real talent.  Unemployment is probably your only alternative because we both know that you are NOT capable of working in any acute care setting - and unemployment and legal sources are going to laugh you out of the offices if you tell them the truth! Even if you fail to tell them the real story, your history is well documented.   


4.  From all of the foul statements you have made about this company and their management for months and threatening legal ramifications if they mess with you - I wonder why you would want to be a part of a company that you have made clear to any of us who will listen how much you hate All Type and all of the management.  I also wonder if you do not know that from the beginning when you started making statements to the rest of us about lawsuits - that the company most surely handed your file over to a legal team.  I suspect the legal department has been involved in all of this for several months. 


Good luck missy.  I have worked with you for well over a year and your professional behavior and abilities leave a lot to be desired.  You have been so disruptive that most of your team has blocked you from IM and we are all glad that your drama from 4-12 everyday is finally done.  You should have been doing your job instead of driving us all crazy with your IMs and maybe, just maybe this company would have valued you.  As it is, what goes around comes around and your cheating, backstabbing, and lies came back around to you.  I salute Karma!!!


Try contacting someone who has been there for a while to get the real story
you cant go by what someone says that is not there any longer. They are probably holding a grudge and will speak poorly of a company. you only get one side of the story and not necessarily the correct one.

I, myself, have been there for 2 years and plan to be at TH for a long time.

No they dont have incentives. Usually those who do provide incentive lower your base rate and make it look like you are getting extra.

No they dont have shift differential because if they hire you for 2nd shift, they normally pay you a little higher to begin with.

They DO PAY Holiday pay but you have to work if you dont ask off. Thus, you get holiday pay plus your line count which comes out to be double time like you are supposed to be paid.

How many companies do that?

NONE that I know of except TH.

Of course no company is perfect and if there is, good luck finding one.

I get paid on time, pick my own schedule, expected to work my schedule or notify them if I cannot stick to it for some reason, get QA feedback respectively, etc.

They have been growing in size and have been adding management to deal with the size. That is the only change I have seen in management.

I suggest contacting Medware
wanting to know information that should come directly from them, not people "that they think they are in the know."
If you're contacting clients ...
maybe they'd be interested in the following.

Try contacting them again. Navesys has been a blessing for me.
I took a job with Navesys a few months ago.  The work has been steady and so have my weekly paychecks. 
Contacting labor board.

Could some one tell me how to go about contacting the labor board about an issue with my employer?  Since I am a remote MT do I contact the labor board in my state or the state my employer is based?  This has to do with pay that I believe was deliberately shorted out of my paycheck as a retribution because I did not type reports on my secondary account that were approaching TAT when I was contacted about it by instant messenger an hour after my shift was over.  I wasn't even at my desk an hour after my shift was over.  I also found out a couple days after the fact that an email from my account manager's supervisor was sent to an email account I no longer use stating that I was requested by my AM to type some reports so they don't go out of TAT and would I please log on and complete these reports. 


Now, lo and behold, my paycheck will be short by almost 800 lines because these 800 lines supposedly sat in QA and weren't completed by the time the pay period ended, even though my shift ended at 4 p.m. on the last day of the pay period.  I have worked for this company for a whole year and this is the first time I have ever heard that the MT is not credited the lines produced until cleared by QA...and I'm not even on 100% QA.  Furthermore, I can't see how I would have even SENT 800 lines to QA in a day.  After multiple emails to both my AM and her supervisor requesting some sort of documentation where these lines went to, I still have heard nothing in regards to this and I'm fed up.  Is this something the labor board will even handle?


I put a blurb about not contacting until a mutual agreement is met. nm

I love the one where the MT was bashing a company for not contacting her..

LOL. I read too fast and thought you were contacting her about porn work. nm

Person from corporate contacting me via email regarding my posting today
I have no reason to meet with you, have a good job and certainly do not care to discuss with you where you send your work. I know what I read and it was quoted by a top official at your company. Even though you said the newspaper slanted the story like they wanted it to read, I saw quotes and never saw where the paper did a retracation of the story.
Directly
No use taking things up with them directly, nothing ever changes, it is their way or the highway. Furthermore, they will never return your phone calls.

As far as not wanting you to post on message boards, hmmmm wonder why? Do you think maybe they know they do not have a good reputation and that might get out? Be careful, Big Brother is watching, NOT. This is America Folks chat on!!!!!!
Directly to a hospital.

I contacted them directly and they
told me they were NOT hiring..... Makes me sad :(
She said that the OP directly told her
and other coworkers all these things in instant message. 
I've not worked for them directly, but have been...
in contact with the upper management off an on for other matters. Very personable, level-headed, and presumably much SANER than some other company higher-ups that we've all discussed here!
You may want to call and ask them directly on Monday...
but I believe it depends on the way you were hired. If you are an hourly employee, your PTO would be paid at that rate. If you are production based, your PTO rate is paid at your average production over a period of three months. You must maintain a minimum line count though. Rochelle would know better.

ouch
E-mail me directly, I'm not posting it on here
too often, and I don't want them to figure out who I am before I make my decision. All I can tell you on here is, make sure whatever you agree to with them, you GET IT IN WRITING.
Talk to the CFO directly. Don't stand for this.

Why not send this to her email directly?
I think you should take this to her via email. Its easy enough to create an alternate ID so you would not be identified if you are trying to be anonymous.
I quite agree with communicating directly
It takes absolutely zero integrity to post grievances on an anonymous chat board. In my view, integrity demands that we take our complaints to those who have the power to do something about them--otherwise you are not handling the complaints productively or with integrity--you are just whining. As they used to say back in the day, don't say behind someone's back what you would not say right to their face. I think the way MDI has been treated on this board is shameful. Many of you owe an apology for your behavior and actions. (And have you considered that what you say can be legally actionable?) If any company works for you, stay; if it does not work for you, leave. There are all kinds of companies for all kinds of people. Keep trying and you are likely to find the right fit. Please consider how you might feel if someone came on a chat board and bashed you anonymously. You know, that old saying about the Golden Rule? In my book, anonymous attacks are about the cheapest sellout there is, integrity-wise. Think about it.
Ask a simple question, everyone goes directly

In my communication directly with Transcend...
I was informed they do not have PT openings, only full-time.

As I believe CynicalMT said, TRUST NO ONE at this juncture.

I believe both companies are simply trying to keep everyone calm until THEY decide to drop the other shoe.

NEVER post your resume and personal info on the internet.
Not so. Can barely get 9 cents directly from the doctor!
Doctors see all these Indian companies offering 6 cpl, balk at 9 to 10 cpl, and they want it printed, free courier service, ect.
Taken directly from social security web site
I am full retirement age (FRA) and still working; do I report my earnings to Social Security?

Question
I am full retirement age and still working. Do I have to report my earnings to Social Security?


Answer
When you reach full retirement age you no longer need to report your earnings to Social Security.

You do, however, need to report earnings for those months in the calendar year before the month you reach full retirement age. For example, if you reach it in May, you would need to report your earnings for the four earlier months.

The law also changed the annual earnings limit for workers who reach full retirement age during the year. During those months before you reach full retirement age, your benefits would be reduced $1 for each $3 you earned over the limit which is $37,680 in 2009 and $36,120 in 2008.



I think you know what I meant. That is not the problem as I responded directly to her email.

I am sure that any other company that tried to respond to her also had the same problem. I know it is sbcglobal.net but hey, I am not on here to get QA'd.  I in a very quick moment put up a message to an MT who wanted a job and did it very quickly in the middle of my busy schedule trying to be courteous and helpful.


Have a nice evening or was that eneving.  :)


I took out the legal references. If anyone has questions about it, email me directly.

Does any facility hire MT directly as IC or employee for eScription? sm

I do not want to work through a service again.  I am tired of running out of work. If anybody knows of any leads, even if they aren't hiring right now, please e-mail me privately.  All responses will be confidential.  I am looking for something for myself, not to be posted to others.


Thank you in advance.


Don't say no one warned you. They are doing away with part-time MTs. Heard it directly from th

Has anybody gotten hired from a contact directly from posting your resume .. sm
Just wondering if posting my resume on here is a wise idea and what kind of success other MTs have experienced with posting theirs on these types of sites, versus sending your resume to a company in response to their ad.
Anyone know of MTSOs that have you connect with hospital and type directly into Chartscript?

I removed the posts after speaking directly to the owner of the company. If
you have questions or concerns you need to take it up with her.  There is one specific person causing most of this grief.  I have CHOSEN to remove the posts, I was not forced to. 
Great News!! I was able to cash the check yesterday. I called the branch directly and they said-sm

right now it was good.  I do live in another state but her bank was bought by a bank that is local to me.  I went there as soon as I could get there and they cashed the check for me!!!  She owes me another small check ($84 and change) which I still have not received.  I was beginning to think that I was never going to see this $$ (the last time I was able to cash a check from her was back in January).  I guess if I bug her enough I will get my other funds.  I think she just wants me to go away which I will as soon as I get all the funds owed me.  She also owes me a 1099 but I am not going to stress over that.  I still have my records.  Thanks all for your ideas.
