Neither. You can copy into Word but cannot copy back into Emdat.

Not everyone likes their boss. You do not have to like your boss to like sm
your job.  You don't even always like your job but like the money.  It is about personal preference.
thanks, looking forward to it
early next month...
Me, too. Looking forward to starting.

leaning forward -- tell us more.

good line rate, benes?  Anything else to comment on.


 


Just forward the e-mails and any
questions you have to your supervisor.
Looking forward to the New Year sm
I interviewed with them the other day and accepted a position yesterday although my acceptance was via the recruiter's voicemail and I haven't heard back yet. This is going to be a great new year. I can feel it. Of course, I will feel more confident once I get a call or E-mail confirming my acceptance.
Boy, it sounds like I have a lot to look forward to! sm
Losing my insurance, my good dictators and work!  I too check my work and was thinking the only way I am going to win this battle is to just rush through it for production sake.  Then it occurred to me that they would still get me for being below the 98% correct threshold if I did that.  I am starting to feel like I am going to get screwed instead of the hope I had that their software was so wonderful I could breeze through it and still be meticulous at the same time.
Please forward me the e-mail that you received.
I do not believe that anyone would tell you to take a few days off (not saying I don't believe you, but I know we are busy and I need to know who told you that).

If anyone is running out of work, I would like to know about it immediately.

All you can do is learn from this and move forward.
Keep on going forward, learn from the obstacles in the road, the road will get smoother ahead, I promise!

Keep you chin up!
Please forward those e-mails to the Administrator. SM
The Administrator will handle those harassing e-mails.

The address is admin@mtstars.com.

The voice of reason steps forward.

Thank you to those who came forward with the proof I needed. It is appreciated.

I realize that, I'm still asking for Transolutions Administration to come forward
y
Actually, I'm kind of looking forward to those long reports..(sm)
I haven't done Radiology on a regular basis since 1997...but I got offered this job and I almost turned it down because I've been doing acute care for so long I thought I wanted to continue with that...but I took the Rad job and it just kind of felt good to type Rad again. I think I was burned out on acute care!
email busytran2@aol.com and she will forward to recruiter if (sm)
hr@phoenixmedcom.com is still down. Sorry, we are working with the server people.
I'm lookin forward to that teleconference Tuesday

Cool beans - looking forward to maybe catching a few. Have a good day. n m

Same old stuff, huh? ...sigh...really looking forward to making contact based on what you said.
s
Once you forward resume, how long till Futurenet gets back with you? nm
 
you too huh, my boss...
told us two months ago that the hospital was laying off and our department was one of the ones targeted. now, i found out that my boss knew two months before he told us. im sick of it already.
That's exactly what the boss says. I think they
in their claim that there aren't enough MTs in the U.S., so we have no choice but to outsource to India.

Whatta loada cr@p.
LOL! Do we have the same boss?
nm
Why get mad at me? I'm not her boss and I'm not sm
one of those middlemen you are ranting about. I'm a FORMER MTSO small biz owner who got out because it was nearly impossible to MAKE A DECENT LIVING MYSELF. MT is not the goldmine you seem to think it is. Margins are very thin and it's hard to pay what this job DESERVES.

I agree that MTs should be making a lot more than they are, but I do not see a way to make that happen in this economy. Whether you believe it or not, the bottom line is what HOSPITALS are willing to pay.
You will not be able to copy those from a MQ
computer. Believe me, I tried EVERYTHING! My husband is a computer whiz and said they have some kind of lock on their system that you cannot copy or transfer to another computer, sorry, but like me, you'll just have to redo your expander, I know it's crap, but you'll make yourself crazy trying to copy it, cause it just won't happen.
I think your boss is more correct.
I type 5 min of dictation in 7.5 to 10 min. Might take 15 min tops if it is really difficult dictation/dictator.

Ever though it could be that American MTs don't want to put up with a boss like YOU!!!
American labor is the backbone of this country. You are part of a HUGE problem!!!!
I am so upset, but not sure whether should ask boss or not...
I am on a very, very hard ESL account that the company has a hard time getting people to work on.  I have the ability to see who is assigned work and have noticed that a certain MT when they help on this account gets all the easy doctors assigned to them, but us who are stuck on this account get all the hard, nasty reports.  I do not understand why they do this, other than maybe the person does not have much experience or such, but it just does not seem right to me.  I do not know whether to say something or just let it go.  I am making a horrible line count, but this person is probably doing very well as they have all the easy dictators on this account.    Any suggestions, as I do not want to be a trouble maker, but now I am so upset over this I don't even want to work today.  Thanks. 
Once in a non-MT job my boss told me to do something that

was totally unethical and I refused.  He asked me why and I said because I don't work here anymore and left as soon as I hung up the phone.   I was a regional assistant manager, but was acting manager of my office and as they had had a complete manpower turnover before I took over,  I was basically the only one who knew what was going on.   The ex-boss was running around like a chicken with its head cut off.  I had 2 very, very big clients.  I called both my contacts and told them that I no longer worked there and that there was no one in the office capable of handling their business and told them who to call.   I was offered jobs with both companies, even offered more money than I was currently making for less work.   I took the one job and this is also where I met my DH of nearly 18 years.   I'd say I came out the winner.  


If there is any documentation as to what happened I'd copy it and send it to every account - to the medical records manager as well as the hospital/clinic administrator. 


 


Did you get your boss anything for MT Week>?nm

I agree 100%! Wonder if we had the same boss? LOL!!
nm
I used to be best friends with my boss (sm)
and let me tell you, there is always some guilt that goes along with your friend asking you to give up your weekends, time off, whatever, to work.  I loved her dearly as a friend, but I don't seek out boss/employee friend relationships any more for this very reason. 
So tell your boss instead of getting upset. nm

Had a boss moonlighted there
She got in trouble after she mentioned it to a tech (had a router so her son could use another computer); tech made a big deal out of reporting her, but her supe said not to worry about it.  One thing I learned from that - when in doubt, ask in advance.
I was doing some web design for an old boss - sm
but that had pretty much dried up as he has switched web hosts and is using one of their templates now for his website. I also substitute bus drive, which is obviously not from home, but a few times a month I drive and bring in anywhere from an extra $60 to $500 a month driving; averaged about $200 a month doing it in 2007. I also do some freelance copy/type setting for a local printer but that is not very often. They did offer me a job in their shop, but it was a 30 minute drive for $8/hour for 4 hours a day, not worth it. I can make more doing MT in that time here at home, and not buy gas. Would have cost me $9 a day in gas alone.
Yep and the boss's daughter

I tell you, the incompetence of that company was truly amazing!  And before anyone starts in, yes, I am working and actually DO like the company I am working for. 


I forgot another thing:  When I started, they forced me to buy a footpedal for like $150 that they claimed was necessary because only this pedal would work with their software.  I believe the owner's husband had something to do with the company that sold this footpedal.  Guess what, a footpedal I had from a different company worked with SS software, as I later found out. 


I also at one point worked for Medquist and, believe me, SoftScript was WORSE, if that is at all possible. 


The perks of being the boss.

Sounds like she don't like her boss.

Can you think of any reason the boss

would want you to leave instead of putting you on another account?  Or is she just a hothead who could not admit that she dialed the wrong number?  I guess I'm asking if there is any reason the company would benefit from your being gone?


I work there now and I love everything about Meridian.  I have never talked to the boss though.  I guess I shall try to avoid it. 


copy typing
What exactly is copy typing? Just curious. Thanks
Did you ask for a copy of the test?
Just curious.
Copy and Paste....

I have a few of my own standards in MS Word that I will copy and paste into Meditech, but I find the tabs do not translate over to Meditech. Do you have this problem as well? It is aggravating because I have to fix these when I go back to the Meditech screen


Look at the copy of the fraudulent
resignations email that you received:

WHAT is written in From:......?

WHAT is written in
TO:..... ?

Doesn't this give you a clue?

Can't you use this as evidence that it is a fraudulent email, NOT sent by you???
thanks for the copy and paste--sm
but latest and related are not the same thing. all I am seeing are posts that were placed after mine and nothing in relation to the original post questioning the company. sorry again.
You sound like a dream boss!
I'd be very interested in applying for employment with your company.  Please advise how I might do that. 
Your team lead/boss

In general, do your bosses respond to your e-mails with questions about your accounts, etc? My boss does not answer any e-mails. All of my e-mails have been our accounts and not just B.S.


What your boss charges clients isn't
your business. Your agreement is what you are paid for your services.
I e-mailed my boss...I'll let you know what she says.

boss hires cheap MTs
This is the deal. The boss hires cheap labor and for whatever you get paid, you turn all these lousy typists into perfect products. They might get paid 6 cents a line, slave wages and whatever you get paid... she/he gets a crew of professionals out of nothing. Same happens to me but I think yours is hiring out of a school or promising to train them.
I would call your old boss or a recruiter. nm
