if you think they are so discourteous sm
then maybe you don't need to work for them. These companies get tons of resumes everyday. They try and match what is on your resume with what they have open. Have you sent them another e-mail. Use to be people that were persistent and followed up got the jobs because they showed a sincere interest. Now its the company should chase you down etc. etc, whine whine!
Never suggested being discourteous. Just saying if

Never said dont inform co, be discourteous, etc.

any QT workers

frequent this board. How is pay, benefits, work load. Still owned by Tampa couple?


 


MDI-MD workers, can you tell me
if they accept dial-up connections or satellite?  Don't find it on their website. thanks.
Workers' Comp, IC @ MQ
Have any IC's ever filed a WC claim against MQ? If so, what was the course and/or outcome?
They are looking for workers -- but NO WORK

First of all, the auto workers SM

have been protected from the realities of the world for decades now.  I have contact with them daily-you should hear them cry and complain over having to pay $4 a pay period to cover their family's health insurance.  Co-pay for a Rx went up from $2 to $5?  Oh, the complaining about what a raw deal they get.


These people all have cottages to summer in, multiple vehicles for business, leisure and sports and the rest of us have slaved.  No company EVER promised to take care of its employees for life.  We MTs have known that for years and now these people also can find this out.


To All happy IC workers..
Are you satisfied as an IC and not having benefits because you have another job that pays benefits or are dependents of someone how has medical benefits?
I think that off-shore workers

You just summed that up for me.  I am glad you told the truth in that you like using slaves to transcribe who are none the wiser. 


As an IC, I choose my own hours, days, lines, etc.  You as an MTSO consider that whining, when it is the law. 


So if you sleep at night knowing you are abusing and mistreating offshore workers, then good for you!  It actually just proves you have no heart.


Another point I'd like to make is that if you need subs to make you money, you must be a horrible Transcriptionist yourself. 


Any doctor that old me he doesn't care who types, when, and how would be off of my list of good doctors and I wouldn't waste my time.  That doctor obviously doesn't care about people but only his own pocket and that would include you as the MTSO.  That same doctor that told you he/she doesn't care will drop you as an MTSO in a minute when he/she finds a better deal.


Always remember, we reap what we sow.  Try and have a good day, master!


Any Oracle workers here?
Am I the only one at Oracle (OTI) that constantly and consistently runs out of work? I'm not just talking about the usual holiday lull, I mean pretty much everyday? Because I do. I don't think I've had a paycheck yet that's been over 400 dollars. I'm on three accounts (count em '3') and there's still hardly ever enough work. I keep asking my QA ppl to put me on yet another account and they say there aren't anymore openings but then I get emails from them saying how the workload is heavy in this account, heavy in that account... etc.

Why why why is this so hard? Any advice? Anybody?

My request for workers
Apparently all of you who are so disgusted with my posting are so busy that you have time to be on this chat board. I, am quite busy and do not have time to filter through hundreds of resumes, which I have received in the past from a posting. Therefore I was upfront and honest about what I needed and what I would pay. NO, this is not subcontracted work, this is a full fledged hospital account, if it is any of your business. Spend time working not running other people down that you know nothing about.
netmed workers
I tested for the company called Net Med Transcription and was just wondering if anyone out there works for them and if they like, dislike them?
C&C Transcription does pay it's workers
Please don't confuse CC Transcription with C&C Transcription, they are two totally separate companies. Also C&C Transcription does NOT offer direct deposit.

It's just one more way of cheating workers.

3 in total, 1 FT and 2 PT..sm

Originally took on another PT local doc to cover daughter's competitive cheerleading costs. Then, hubby got laid off last fall and took on another national PT to help make ends meet. He now is employed elsewhere, but still have late bills, not to mention never want to be in that position again. Trying to pay off all the bills!!! Feels like I work round the clock, but really don't with lots of breaks and extreme flexibility to work whenever and also be with my kids whenever (and be their chauffeur, mostly!) Good luck to you, it's hard but there is something to be said for security.


Any Freedom Type workers here? - sm

I've heard nice things, read nice things.  Do you like working here?  Do you enjoy the work?  Set your own hours and workload?


 


TIA!


I think it is great to get to know more of our "co-workers". (sm)
My elderly mom lives with me, my grandchildren are here before and after school and I go to Wal-Mart and Price Chopper a couple of times a week. That is it for me. I love the idea of getting to know some of my fellow workers. Winter is an extremely crafty season, hopefully will find others with similar interests.




Workers of the World, Unite!
I agree 100%. They accuse John Edwards of engaging in class warfare, and I say why not? The time has come to put an end to all this ugliness. Golden country, indeed.
I'd have to agree with you. Yes, you get a few disgruntled workers who probably
aren't qualified to be doing this work and get reprimanded or just plain unhappy and like to complain, then think twice about their opinion on a company, but for God's sake when people tell you that they aren't not getting paid on time, correct, or AT ALL, why in the world would you consider even taking a job for them.  I agree with the poster in that it does reach a level of stupidity and companies that have those kind of unethic and dishonest tactics just prey on stupid people who should have known better to begin with. I think everyone has a right to voice their opinion and experience, good or bad, and yes, some of it take with a grain of salt BUT if it involves your livelihood, a paycheck, then pay attention. I just don't get people either. Here's your sign   
SINCE WHEN IS EXPLOITATION OF WORKERS PROPRIETARY?..sm

Are workers for NetMed IC's or employees?
nm
I don't think anybody's wrath is directed at workers
For the most part, it seems the barbs are going right where they belong- at management. The closest anyone has come to faulting the Indian workers themselves is the wage that they make, which they have no control over anymore than we do.
10 reports per hour for QA workers???
Is it reasonable for an MTSO to expect QA to QA 10 reports per hour....when working on several acute care accounts? For the most part it is blanks only, but sometimes there are also full listens.
Could be because of total lack of sm
professionalism and loyalty to those she worked with if indeed that is true.  All I ever heard from her was talking about others behind their back.  I never met anyone other than from one other one there who went long ago that did that and it is the worst case of management I have ever known. 
Look at the total package

Sometimes a great incentive program more than makes up for low CPL, also a good program, good dictators, how many templates and normals you can get.  I knew someone who consistently did over 2000 lines per day and did not work more than 8 hours, doing mostly OPs with ESLs, but they all said the same thing, used formats.  She just had to keep making her normals and inserting them.  They said the same phrases over and over, so she made big bucks.  Once she got used to them, it was a breeze and she was consistently one of the highest earners. 


I would just keep checking other companies.  I am sure there is something out there for you.  Don't give up.


 


In total agreement
with the poster who stated that being overweight, most of the time is due to overeating because of emotional issues.  I am such a person. I am 160 pounds overweight and emotional issues led to my overeating.  Surgery will not take these issues away.  I was 200 pounds overweight.  I have been undergoing counseling and have joined Nutrisystem, where I also receive a lot of support.  A long haul?  Yes, but I would much rather go this route, then risk my life in a surgery with no definite outcome.
total lines
I work on extext and that is the way it is done for me to. Just shows total lines for that hospital. But you can get the total lines for a certain period not just that day.
well, IMO total disgraces!!
ridiculous to offer a whopping six cents a line!!! Wahoo!! Are they out of their frelling minds. You get what you pay for and six cent quality is what they are going to get. UGH!! SHAME ON THEM!!!
That's my question. How do you know the total is right?
I'm a TT newbie, so please don't take offense. For the other companies I've worked for you can see the number of reports in the final count, including work types. With TT, I see a client breakdown with total lines. If there's a report missing, I have no way of knowing. If there's a way to do it with Ctrl I, I can't figure it out and can't get an explanation. I don't check every 5 minutes, but I do check my line counts a couple of times a day and this has always helped my production. I don't understand why this is so complicated. Am I doing something wrong?
total agreement
MTs can make the $$ exactly how you stated using expanders. I also stay in one specialty field with the same dictators... but you must be focused on your work and with no expense on gas or clothes, that all adds up to money in your pocket.
Any fool knows that VR is a TOTAL RIP OFF.
How that can be slander, well, only in the mind of an MTSO.  Don't want the MTs to realize they are being taken with these LIES about VR, now, would we?
I had 4 accounts total
Primary plus 3. There were times that there was no work in ANY of them. Funny thing is that the *Backlog* would show a certain number but when I'd go in to get reports, there were just a few. Then my primary would get gobbled up by people working on east coast (I'm west-Pacific time), so there has been lack of work in the past 3 to 4 months.

Cross-training did help but the ship had been sinking for some time without our knowledge.

My new gig has no weekends, no holidays, NEVER any VR. No pool, I'm the only MT on the acct. Full-time employee after 90 days, bene's (10 PTO a year) after 1 year. Regular 9:00 to 5:00 Clinic schedule.

Like musical chairs, have to find a place to sit once the music stops or....
And they hired 300 Indian workers with plans for

Spheris Inc. of Franklin, Tennessee, has hired 300 people for its new center in Coimbatore, in India's southern Tamil Nadu state, and plans to add another 700 workers in the next year, company president and chief executive Steven Simpson told reporters.


Employees now, now workers comp needed...nm

Why positions cannot be filled. Not due to lack of workers,
Is it because Microsoft cannot meet employment demands based on available US similarly trained workers without paying US expected pay.  I am sure if Microsoft was offering a decent wage those positions could be filled.  But they will not be filled with US employees if Microsoft is only willing to pay offshore pay rates.
this is the last place I'd guess fellow workers to be...
during work hours in order to get an answer. Doesn't anyone work?
Confirm WX post, much more for hard workers. NM
x
Most of the weekend workers you listed make more than some
of the MTs on the board, so are they not getting better pay than the MT? Certainly, the baby-delivering doctor, the cops, the tip-receiving club works, blah, blah, blah.

Since your reply doesn't even address the actual question being asked, how selfish of you to take up valuable space on the board to vent your indignation about others.
do they provide computers even wtih partitime workers?
i need to know if they just send computers to fulltime workers. do they subtract every month for the computer that they will be sending the home-based MT? how much?
That should read "no workers comp needed" sorry

Ther e is a IT company in California who brings workers
puts them on board, sails out past the 12-mile rule into international waters, they work a few weeks, then brings them back to shore for leave, rinse and repeat.

This is not a rumor.
Lots of Indian workers use "American"-sounding

My total hours were 85 of which 7.5 were OT. Does THAT satisfy you?
I draw a line at telling you my earnings, however.
No communication at MDI-FL. Total chaos.

They're total flakes. They don't know what end is up.

.


no it doesn't track total for whole day
you have to do each document individually, but also keep in mind that it counts ALL lines, both typed and not typed. So be careful of that, if you aren't getting paid for blank lines.
It depends on total years of
what work type.  You can actually make more than 8 as an employee if you make the bonus.  I do acute care and make 8 plus the first level of incentive which is an additional 1/2.  That is for 1400 lines per day.  Some days I make the 1400 and some days I don't, it just needs to be 14000 in a 2 week pay period.  There is actually a level above this one too, for 16000 in a pay period. 
At MedWare, too, can't do it. You'd have to log in after every report to get a total, but

I pay $140 a month total for $500 deductible-WMX

MTSOs like you are total tools.
Try treating your MTs like valuable employees, and not expendable machinery, why dontcha?
