In Reply to: probably not what you wanna hear, but (sm) - me

listen to all the nay-sayers. But we are even low on work at the moment; don't expect it to last. In fact, they are sending me work from another account right now...

    I'm glad I didn't go with them sm
    I was offered a position at Webmedx and decided not to take it.  Boy, am I glad I didn't.
    Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
    I'll definitely check them out!
    I'm glad you're going to give it a try. I think you'll like it. I can't imaging giving

    only 3 days, especially since we did have the 4th slowdown.  They will work with you to get you a secondary account if your primary is not enough.  Good luck to you.



     


    Now I'm glad I didn't do so well on the test.
    .
    glad I didn't stick
    around too long at TT.  I thought it was bad organization myself.  Just my little input from experience!
    They're probably glad you didn't too - (sm)


    Be glad you didn't hear.
    Why? Stella and crew are psychopaths. You will pay them to use their software license to boot, won't be included in your contract, unless of course, my experience with them has changed that. I have a horror story to tell with this company, believe me.

    The most controlling and thorougly unprofessional MTSO I have ever had the displeasure to work with. No wonder they are advertising...they can't keep good MTs.


    It happen to me also . . I'm glad I didn't leave my job for them.

    Be glad you didn't actually start working there...

    I was hired and during training realized what a huge mistake I'd made. The software is really outdated and complicated, and there was a lot of miscommunication and misinformation from the start. I didn't have a good experience with the gal who hired me either. Strange to be treated like a number before you're even out of the honeymoon stage of employment!


    Be glad you didn't get officially hired - you saved yourself some time and money!



    Well I'm glad I didn't stick around for more torture
    on the world's worst platform only to find there wasn't enough work anyway.  I only lasted 3 weeks before I flipped my lid.  They told me they really needed help on clinic though.  If you are on acute care, ask to switch. 
    aren't you glad you didn't quit? NM

    MDI like the Borg-assimilate or else-be glad you didn't. nm

    glad I didn't start working for them. It sm
    was a mess trying to get set up so I figure the pay would have been screwed up too.
    Phew!!! Glad I didn't have to spell that growing up. LOL

    Don't sweat it. Be glad you didn't hear back.

    Sheesh, that's awful. Glad I didn't waste my time testing, had a feeling....

    The Indians didn't get a raise, but I'll bet the CEO of the phone company did!! nm

    I'll bet you'd be in a snit if you didn't get a Mother's Day card, though, amirite?
    Same principle...

    Would you feel slighted if your children didn't give you a mother's day card? How about a birthday card? Anniversary card? I mean, after all, you shouldn't NEED a mother's day card to feel appreciated, right?

    I mean, if you're going to cast your self-righteous stones at those of us who DO appreciate being acknowledged ONCE A YEAR, then please remember this the next time someone fails to acknowledge YOU on YOUR *special day*.

    I'm so tired of you judgmental people who can't just NOT post but instead squeal with delight at putting others down. Must suck to be you....


    /end rant
    I am so glad, so very glad that finally I have reached
    the age that if we are low on work, I just take off. No problem at all and love the extra day or so off. I now have worked since the 70s and finally made to retirement age, get SS plus other retirement money coming in and thank the good Lord do not have to worry about if there is work or not. BTW, when I worked inhouse never ran out of work ever, only when transferring out to company do they run out of work. If I had to raise a family now I would most certainly cross train on other accts at my place but only have 1 that I work on, by choice.
    If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
    recent info.  Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT.  Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially. 
    If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
    you want to know, none of it good.
    Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

    If you'll read more carefully you'll see
    I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
    I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
    why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.  
    She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
    What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).

    That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
    we will be glad to use our
    after we find another job
    I'm glad I could help.
    I am an MT, before I get accused of being in a managerial position. 
    YW...glad I could help :)

    I'm glad I'm not the only one
    When I was hired two years ago, I gave a set schedule as an SE (with every intention of following it), but right from the beginning I had to adjust it because of no work being available.  Since then, I pretty much do what I want to.  Thank goodness I work for a good office and they don't bother me much, but all the talk about the changes coming are worrying me.  If they make me work a set schedule, I may just fly the coop, because I know there will never be work available during my shift.     
    I am glad you think so
    You must be in management and not an MT or ME.

    I have never had so many problems with MQ since being transferred to Amherst. Yes, there it is again, AMHERST. I am exhausted after my 40 hour week and feel like I have been typing for 2. I just do not get anywhere. All crappy dictators, and jumping from account to account and running out of work.

    You must not do acute care or as it used to be called, medical records, and you must have easy, easy reports. I am making squat for all my aggravation.

    Even if the grass wasn't greener on the other side, I would never come back.

    I am just holding on until I can find another job and I am looking.

    I can't take this garbage anymore.

    It is not worth my health, happiness or my family. They all come before this company. It used to be a good company before FRANK came on board.

    Can't wait until I can get out of here.

    Oh, do you have to work on Thanksgiving and Christmas, if you celebrate that holiday? Just another one more thing to annoy me.
    well glad you think so
    nm
    I want to say I am so glad that (sm)
    I am not the only one who cannot stand the company. Every time I post elsewhere (will not say where) I got flamed for saying this is not the absolute best company to work for. Believe me, it is about the worst. Any time a company claims it is the best, that is a red flag IMO.
    I am so glad....
    I am so glad to hear that! I just got my work computer and am scheduled to start on the 30th :) I have been so nervous because I have had 3 different job offers and chose Spheris.


    Glad it is not just me
    I thought maybe it was me, but I know I'm able to do more than 150 lph. Been there since summer 05 and wondering how long to stick this out. Demo screens can really slow you down and no compensation for them either. There are so many MTSO out there, where to go??? I don't want to hop from this one to that one again and again.
    I am glad I went with them too. I have been there sm
    two years. The first year was a little rocky but everything is great now.

    My account has only one ESL but a handful of ATROCIOUS American docs. I would prefer a nice accent to speed-demon mush-mouth at this point. I am glad I do not get them often or I would be bald from pulling my hair out!
    You will be glad...sm
    Pay is on time every other Monday, never had a problem. They are very flexible, as long as you work your scheduled day. I work whenever I want during that day. They never bother you once you're out of QA. Very nice people!
    Glad to know this about them
    Sounds like stinky pay IF and WHEN you even get paid. I tend to gloss over the too happy to be true posts. That bubble will burst in short order. Things for the realistic info on this company. DELETE!!
    Glad for you
    Sounds like good news for you and your friends and relatives, but have been here for awhile and so have some others and it has been the same with them also, not just me. Bounced from account to account. I just received an email saying, Congrats for saying what others past and present have not said. That is a fact and says something. I am not making this up to slam anyone. It is the truth. I am sure there are those that a happy, some do not know the difference especially the new ones. It is just a matter of time. Everyone has to decide for themselves, but I can guarantee many just keep on looking.
    Welcome!! We are glad to have you.
    I really think you will like MDI-FL.
    Glad to help. nm
    :))
    Glad I could help!
    I just got my computer today. I'm excited about starting.
    Glad to be gone

    You are one of the lucky ones to have been paid!!  They like to play games with your money, first by holding it as in your case for weeks after you have gone.   She does not care about payroll being late - and actually sends out emails that she is tired of answering emails, and then her and her manager will literally turn off their IMs, or just not answer.  They are also famous for making you stick to a schedule - regardless if you are an IC, and has her shiftleads call and ask why are you not working - you are on the schedule.  Needless to say - this was a joke of a company, and many people that have gone are still waiting on that final paycheck.  Her favorite comment is it is company policy like she is such a big company, yet she operates out of her home!!.  And her so-called company policy seems to change along with her mood - which is daily.  If you need a paycheck - I would advise to stay away from them.  


    Sure am glad
    Since the administrator has now removed the ads until confirmation from the company, about the only thing I can be glad about is that my resume does have my name and phone number but that is about all, I omitted the name of the company I currently work for, offered to provide for reference at a later date and also did not list reference phone numbers or addresses, just available on request. Unfortunately, I am still naive enough to hope this is a legit ad!!
    Am glad you like it there
    Some have not been given the promises made. That is why there are some problems, re: vacation pay and I could go into more detail about what happened to me when I told them I was quitting, but no need to bring up old wounds. Obviously they are now starting to appreciate what they have. I worked countless weekends besides my M-F work because I liked what I was doing, but never compensated for it. That is all it would have taken is appreciation and compensation.
    Thanks!! Glad to from a KS Rad MT

    I too am glad to know I am
    not the only one. I have almost 20 years experience. They kept telling me they were going to whittle down my pool at first to 3-5 hospitals and then at least down to 10. They never got below 20. No way to make lines that way. Plus the line counter was set for low line counts.
    I'm glad it's going well for you. NM

    I'm glad I got out of there!
    I can't believe that anyone will even still work for them after all of this. I got out of that hole about a year ago and went some place much, much better, and I'm so glad that I did! From what I have read, it's even worse now than it was when I was still there! I can't imagine not being paid for spaces, headers, or footers. Back when I was there, I was at least paid for headers and footers. That's just robbery!
    I'm glad to know there are a few (sm)
    of us KS here - just to have the relationship with each other - that's all, but I know what you mean. I don't know of any other boards, if anyone does, let us know!
    Wow, so glad to know I'm not the only one.
    I actually just sent out a resume myself and I'm hoping to hear back. This is so stressful. I don't know what's going on. I have been with Keystrokes for a year and have never even come close to being in this situation until this month. In fact, I have always had too much work up until now. I have had to use PTO days to cover me. I called the office to see about another account, but was told that there is nothing else available right now. This is way beyond frustrating.
    Glad to know it isn't just me. I can't

    understand why she is in that position.
