Agree. How rude to use that ASSume thing,
x
The staff is so rude that they got banned
from this site for being extremely rude to an ex employee
yes, about five yr ago, not a good exp, very rude staff...nm
x
their QA is rude. The office staff will slap you right in the head. don't think about it.
they are all nicey nice until you don't sniff the right way, then WHAMMO
The staff and the attitudes of the staff. Very helpful, cheerful. (sm)
They seem to work extremely hard to balance everything out, enough work, enough MTs and always making sure they let the MTs know they are a valuable asset to the company. That means a lot. Not to mention the bennies are pretty good, too.
I agree that was quite rude
I just read that post myself and felt that was a really rude comment to make about someone you don't even know. This person was only posting about their experience with MDI recruiting. Lighten up.
p.s. I'm glad this person found another job with a better company.
I agree you are rude
and fresh.... has nothingto do with dealing with the truth. You must enjoy being rude.
Also agree, but I think the rude QA people mentioned are gone. nm

I would absolutely agree with you. SM
Something terrible has happened to the work ethic in this country. I have met so many MTs who feel entitled to high pay per line, easy work, no weekends, no nights, and who don't want to give even the tiniest bit of effort when it comes to completing their work on time and CORRECTLY.
I wouldn't want to be an MTSO for any amount of $ in the world. MTs are too difficult to deal with and there are tons of them out there who are totally undependable and/or incompetent these days.
I agree - absolutely ask
Okay, they obviously like you, but is their love for you going to pay your bills? If other MTs have quit this account they obviously couldn't survive by working on it either. The company obviously knows this. I think they should be willing to pay more for doing it - and it sounds like by complementing you they are hoping you will feel appreciated and keep doing it. Done that many times myself. I have a too extreme desire to be appreciated, and I've had to learn to put that aside and make sure I can survive and pay the bills. Even though I've worked for many great companies with very nice people, if it's a lousy account it just doesn't work.
I say keep looking for a better account, either where you are or elsewhere.
I absolutely agree with you on this Ana....
The owner is a nightmare and doesn't want you to question them about YOUR money! Now that is crazy!!!
I absolutely agree with you
and I think it is the VR/SR platform. I worked for another company doing VR before this one and the platform was much better - speech picked up patterns of the doctors and filled in the correct info behind the correct headings, etc., but this one - it is horrible - you absolutely would not believe it. I would laugh if it was not so serious - the stuff the system puts in is no where near what the doc is saying so almost everything has to be retyped - I know - pretty darn silly.
I absolutely agree with you on that one...sm
I can see both sides of the fence, depending what day it is, how much stress is going on, etc.
But, absolutely, if I'm up front with an employer about my being part-time, and yes, I do put in extra time in evenings and weekends, why in the heck do they treat you like a slacker because you don't want to type 2000 lines a day?
On the other coin, I actually applied for an on-site MT job at a doctor's office. It would be 45-minute drive, professional attire, etc. Thought I was ready for that until it came right down to it. Then started thinking about all the days the kids are out - 1 week for Thanksgiving, 3 weeks for Winter, etc. Realized how spoiled I am, where else can I make this kind of money working part-time?
It's definitely a love-hate relationship! :)
I absolutely agree with you.
MDI and the people who work there are all top notch. I was in no way referring to the QA people at MDI or the email. I was just stating my experience with some inexperienced QA people and how frustrating that is. I've worked for OTHER companies where QA was very inconsistent, incorrect, and very condescending in feedback, even when they were wrong. I apologize to MDI if anyone thought I meant their QA people. I've heard nothing but the best about QA people at MDI. I was just venting a little about newbies being in QA positions and putting errors into reports that did not have reports when submitted, and was wondering if anyone else shared my frustration with that situation. I probably should have started a new thread for this. My bad.
I absolutely agree.
x
I agree Lead MT, that was rude! Hope others ignore (sm)
the rudeness. There are bugs and kinks everywhere, as long as the Lead MT and others work with you, there should not be a problem. Some people like to complain and create chaos. Types that that should be ignored.
Oh absolutely! I agree 100%. Especially when it comes to my company
the "company who shall not be named"!  Yep, the fabrications that can start flying out on that company are actually funny by the time the flaming thread gets done, but sure must work and scare off a load of MTs, though, actually, by the looks of the new hires, nobody believes them! I think it works against "those" type of posters either way - the extremist cheerleaders and the extremist bashers. They actually do more harm than good for their individual causes, because they sound so NUTS!! 
Absolutely agree! I kidded them about having
a tough QA department, but they are good!!! If you don't feel secure about styles and word usage, Mary can train you well. Work for them. It will be tough, but boy will you learn and get paid for it too. On new accounts they are tougher on the MTs because they want to keep the accounts. Good business! Good people all around.
I absolutely agree with you on this post. sm
It's ridiculous for companies to expect ICs to clock in and out for lunch, etc., when there are no benefits at risk. MTs who don't keep any kind of schedule and expect to have work whenever they're ready are ruining things for the rest of us who are diligent.
I agree; my mama taught me it's rude to snub a gift
Okay, so I need another mug like a hole in my head, but I can always use more pens. But regardless, at least they bothered to acknowledge MT week, which I think is a nice gesture.
Whoever brought up to the $25 gift certificate: That's at Christmas.
I agree 100%. You people have absolutely no idea
of this person's capacity for selflessness and generosity, to the point of putting herself last in an effort to achieve many goals and in the face of adversities I wouldn't wish on the harshest critics here (although youse guys are tempting me!). If you didn't cut with through her, there is a reason for that and I know her employer cuts to the chase much more deftly than you would be able to withstand so I know she backs this recruiter 100%. They both can run circles around you. You have no idea how tightly knit some MTSOs are and the ones here bad mouthing this person won't stand a chance getting a job in certain places if their lives depended on it.
Go sell crazy somewhere else.
Absolutely I agree! Hindsight (sigh) ..sm
Yes, in hindsight I should not have done it. I had been in my office for days on end testing and testing. I remember it being very tough and took me a long time to finish. I was desperate (I guess) to seek my own accounts and thought this would be the first of many!
Never again! :)
Absolutely true about the Q. Couldn't agree more with you. NM
x
I agree. Sadly, it is absolutely true, nm
.
I agree, absolutely agree
and I might say, this is keeping updated in ALLLL specialities and subspecialities, drugs, instruments, and on and on. It is not a good profession for sure and sadly it is the MTs who are being very definitely HAD
The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
I agree with some of this, especially the assistance thing
I just heard in my state of New Jersey, someone qualified for low income housing and/or some other hand outs because they made less than 50,000 a year - that's right less than 50,000 is now basically considered low income! So, at least in this state, if a family is not making closer to 100,000 you are pretty much hurting. The average couple I know do make around that much and none of us are living all that great. Is it similar in other states? Really curious.
Have to agree with FBI thing...see inside
My brother-in-law is an engineer at Lockheed-Martin. He is part of a group making equipment for the U.S. government. They went to EVERYBODY before this, including neighbors and old friends. We live in a very small town, so the neighbors found it funny yet interesting. It happens in every business if you're working in any type of capacity with the government.
the only "school" thing I agree with is sm
the fact that we need GOOD schools. There use to be a shortage of MTs and now there is a shortage of well-taught MTs. The schools saw this profession as a cash-cow and advertised as they did. They got all the suckers who wanted to do this to just work from home, took their money, taught them very little and it has spiraled down from there.
Now we have influx of MTs who expect it all now, high wages, best hours, best accounts, etc. etc. Only way you do that is through years of experience not when you first start out.
The only thing I don't agree with is that the posts from management
would keep me from there. I think they are small enough to be personal. I think they will learn as they grow though to not react so strongly that this too shall pass. I know that a friend of mine who works there is a lead Transcriptionist now and is learning to be a manager as she goes, so not all of them are bought like at MQ and Spheris and the like. I think they are all transcriptionists who have been promoted from what I understand which might explain a lot of why they feel they have to defend the company.
I agree with one thing you say. With almost any company right now, unless you marry the job and
 work 24/7 and jump through hoops, dont expect to get the best or be treated the best. They are always looking for the new to use and abuse and thus the circle keeps going. We all burn out being used and abused and they know that so they keep adding new MTs to use and abuse. That is a fact in MT today. I dont specifically know anything about these 2 companies but it is the same at the 2 places I currently work PT. Exact same situation. I have stopped jumping and I dont plan to do that anymore because in many cases, you still go down with the ship when they get an urge to overhire in these larger companies. They dont sit there and pick and choose. You just go down with the rest. Small companies may fiddle more with that but not the larger ones.
Glad you agree but disagree on one thing sm
This is far from a socialist country. Oh trust me, I have many lawyers in my family and you can sue a company who won't hire you if you have disability. These companies are treading a thin wire.
How would someone like it even if they simply had an abortion on their record and a company didn't like that!
Rude answer to a rude post. nm
nm
3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm
the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee. Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great. VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform. They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

Rude, rude posters
Hope you rude posters find a good fit for you. Don't run down OSi because some of us like them. No problems either and I have 10 years experience. No newbies here like you say. Love the accounts I'm on. Hope the complainers find a good home, but if not, they will be back and on another company's case.
It is so rude to call QA rude because YOU have
been stuck on QA hold for six months!! And the other poster above - if you are getting QA notes and they are including your supervisor, which you imply is not the norm, then YOU are the one responsible. It matters not if you've been an MT for 1 week or 30 years - if your skills are not up to par, they are not up to par. Many MTs get cleared from QA hold within hours or days at most - companies do NOT want to hold you up from producing, nor do they love to waste their $ on MTs on QA hold. You really need a reality check. And no, I am not rude! It is always, always the MTs lacking in skills who get pissed at QA - no form of feedback is acceptable to that type - even sealed with a kiss and a big bow! 
Rude! Recruiter was very rude to me.
She had an attitude right off the bat.
Pay is only so so, but the staff was very
rude, software was okay, they did pay ontime. Only thing was, when you ask how you are doing, they will say great and then let you go with no word as to why. Very awful company!!
I am NOT staff. I am an MT. nm
nm
Pay was okay, staff was extremely
rude, they will fire you for anything and you cannot trust them at all!! Worst company out there IMO
the staff there is very nice and
very understanding. you should not hesitate to communicate with them while you are unable to keep your schedule and tell them why. don't wait until after the fact because they have no clue what is going on. you have a wonderful way to communicate with Future Net
Amdin Staff and MTs are not the same
And even though you surely went through a very hard time with your family and my heart goes out to you. You were not one of DeVille's managers. You were a new employee typing from home. I am sure his relationship with his managers and his MTs are on two different levels.
I like TT because the staff is nice, sm
they leave you alone to get your work done and are supportive and understanding.
I think the non-MT staff puts in a lot of
hours to get new accounts up and running, training new people, and ironing out the details.
I think start-up time is probably triple the work for them, so yeah, I think they should get paid for all the prep work they do so that the work can actually be transcribed.
Office Staff TT
I think they are more aware than ever with the new accts. that more office and management staff is needed. Lately they've promoted a couple from within the company to act as lead transcriptionists to take some of the burden off of the acct. manager and others in the supervisory position to give them more time to answer other questions. There is Eyvonne, who I think is the actual supervisor and Diana, Donna, Nancy and another one I do not know the name of that are doing jobs that once only one person was doing. I think it's super they did this. It helps out a lot having someone always there to ask questions if you need an answer. Eyvonne is always responsive and Donna and Diana are simply fabulous. They are so kind and try to answer your questions quick. The other night I had a question and emailed the lead MT address and even though Donna did not know the answer, her answer was I don't know but I'll find out for you and she DID. How many times do you hear of someone saying that and really doing it? Not often. They needed to do this a long time ago. I've only been with TT for almost a year but I really like it here and they seem to really be conscious that we are what makes this company work. Agree with you too, I love all the work recently.
Can QA staff at precyse use their own PC
or are QA folks required to use Precyse's PC? Again, this is related to QA only...not MTs.
You are kidding - right? At 2 cpl he treats his staff well!!! nm
x
While it is true that the management and staff
are nice, it is also true that there have been some problems with the work flow.
Since my last QA score was 99.69%, that's a non-issue. Hopefully, things will stabilize in time, although overhiring might be a factor.
RIGHT OR WRONG, if I like a supervisor or the staff
Personality of the person I am dealing with means a lot to me. I think it keeps me longer in a job that is not right and if the people are jerks but the work is good, I just can't stay in the job. PERSONALITY IS SO MUCH IN LIFE......MTSO managers, heads up, stop with the phony baloney niceness and be a real human and for the ones who are snippy and have a superior attitude..... you just lost some good workers for your bosses.
