I worked for them, if you do clinic, ask about demographics, as you need to find the schedule, then find the name and MRN, go back, fill in all demo screens, takes a lot of time, for a 2 minute note, is a waste, you won't get a lot of lines that way. My QA was good, supervisor was not. University accounts have a lot of different dictators. They pay on time.

If 10 people vote to have post removed it is removed
automatically.  Look near the bottom of this post and click on the blue vote/moderate and go from there.  I've already voted, so need 9 more.  This person does need to be banned though and as they represent themselves as being SS management, then SS should also be banned.

I see that my post was removed - i didn't say anything bad

but it was removed.  Glad I got the chance to vent and that 11 people got to read it.


 


I had a post removed too and all I asked was about
companies that hire for Radiology.
I voted to have your post removed - sm
Rather than addressing the issue in a civil way, you personally attacked the OP.
I removed MDI-Transcend post. ALL READ - SM

I removed the MDI-Transcend post because the original poster as well as replies contained language and names.  Do not post employee names.  Do not use foul language or reference it at all.  Just leave it out.

I'm not sure...I've never voted to have anyone's post removed
But I'll try to figure it out so we can get your real name off of the board. I'm not sure if there's a link to email the moderators directly or not, but if there is, email them and explain the situation to them and ask that your post be taken down.

Maybe other posts will read this and vote the post down as well and we can get it off one way or the other.
Yesterday there was a job post and now it has been removed. Anyone know why that would happen?

There was a job post for Data Entry and Coding yesterday from telerecruiting@sbcglobal.net and today it's not there. Why? Also, has anyone EVER heard of Excalibur Remote Workforce Job services?


No forms of foul language are allowed, that's what got your post removed.

You've just removed all doubt. I hope everyone reads your above post!
I knew you'd eventually hang yourself and remove all doubts.

Now everyone will know that this entire thread has been one lie after another.

There isn't an MT on this board that is paid salary from an MTSO and that includes Landmark.

Nice try. Now get some help.
Post removed, you can re-post.

i appreciate your response and post but....

take it to email and more personally than to expose it publicly on an internet bulletin board.


This would show some  (quote) CLASS (/quote).


 


Here's my response to your post....sm

1.  If you've been gone 7 months why do you care?  How do you know who the supposed troublemakers were if there were any? 


2.  Since you've been gone a while you haven't seen the communications to the employees, therefore it's unfair of you to judge anything about what the company has done since you left and is doing in the future.


3.  The company was open and honest about this experiment with offshore labor - didn't try to hide it like other companies have done.  They could have not said anything, done it, and the transcriptionists wouldn't have known for months.


4.  Experimenting and doing are 2 different things - and just because something is being explored doesn't mean it will be a done deal.


5.  The company fought considering using offshore labor but with the government not caring about it across the US or federal labor it's hard for anyone to fight it permanently - see the administrator for MTStars comments.  IT's not just transcription getting hit by offshore competition.  It's other jobs as well.  Ford is closing plants due to offshore competition.  Kraft is closing plants.  Other companies are doing the same thing and moving jobs overseas.  Stinks doesn't it?  But until we citizens of the US start insisting on stiff tariffs to anyone using labor outside of the US the trend will continue, especially since the lawmakers don't give a crud (probably due to payoffs).


6.  If you're really making all of the money you're claiming then good for you - especially if you're not working extra hours.  Be happy for yourself and don't knock another company.  It makes you look bad.   One person's dream job is another person's disaster.  I'm sure that where-ever you're working now has people who say bad things about it.

No and re-read my post - I sent an email to payroll with my banking information and asked them to Fed-Ex my check directly to the bank -- yes, I am having a payroll deduction for this, but it is because for the branch of my bank it is 3 hours away.

JLG is NOT the only company that does this as FutureNet does it as well as far as no DD and mailing or sending checks.
I really don't know why the post below is in response to
my post. I have no complaints about CardioScribes. I just wanted to let the original poster know that I did receive my line count report and she would also receive hers. I am very happy at CardioScribes. I had some issues in the beginning, but my team lead and Tonya went out of their way to address my issues, which are no longer issues. In other words, they took care of me and did everything in their power to make me happy and that I am....HAPPY!

Please post your response
Please be sure to publicize the IRS response you get. That way, these companies will get the idea this is wrong and can't dispute it. Plus, we'd all like to know too. If the answer is out there enough, the MTSOs will have to abide by it.
In response to your post
I had the same thing -- hired by companies -- DD thing and if not immediate a paper check -- then for some reason it didn't work either way, I have never had a problem with identity theft on the part of an employer even after leaving for several months -- I just think that if it did happen, the bank could trace it and the MTSO employee who tried to do it would be in deep poop
In response to your post

Most of the companies that I have worked for in the past had a built in method of counting lines.  I was told by the person who supervised me at the company to just take the character count iwth lines and spaces in Microsoft Word and divide by 65 which is what I did.  When the line count came back from the hospital with them using Sylcount, by their methods, I had been shorted approximately 1,000 lines.  I am being compensated by the company for those lines.  I then proceeded the other day to download both Practicount and Sylcount, however for some reason, I could not get a line count.  With Sylcount, it was a trial version, and I found out via the grapevine that with a trial version, it would not count the lines.  I then received a liscened copy of Practicount, from the company; however, again for some reason, it would not count the lines.  As to the other issue involved, because of a family emergency with my current landlord, I am having to find another place to rent.  Right now, my search is limited to weekends and this was explained to both the supervisor and the owner of the company but to no avail.


I think it may have been in response to the post just below from Wanda....

Response to your post re: Wireless
Just a bit confused regarding your post and wireless. You mentioned that TT said it was not acceptable. Are you referring to a wireless router set up, where for example you are getting a signal off of someone else's wireless connection or are you referring to an air card through a cell phone provider?

The reason I ask is that I live in town and can hook up through my landlady's wireless router, however, the signal is not very strong and I have had problems with connecting through the VPN at times and staying connected. I also have a USB wireless air card, which I purchased through Sprint when I lived in a rural area and could not get either cable or DSL for a period of time. Spint, Verizon and many of the other cell phone carriers now have USB wireless air cards which you just plug into a free USB port on your computer. The biggest problem with this kind of card is that you have to be in relatively close proximity to a cell phone tower in order to be able to get any kind of speed for your uploads and downloads.

Also, with an air card, you have to commit to so many years, and you may have to pay for the card. I was lucky enough to get my air card through Sprint for free (Normally around $200 I think) and I pay $60 a month for unlimited internet service.

There are MANY companies out there that allow this kind of a setup. The company that I am working for now allows this, as well as FutureNet. Most of the time, if you explain the situation of having an air card to your technical person, there are ways of getting the program to work. Hope this helps.
In response to Janets post

Janet, in response to your question  -- you work 5 days a week, if your schedule falls on a weekend or a holiday  -- yes, you are EXPECTED to work  -- holidays are a bit lax -- I am NOT taking it out on you personally, but HOSPITALS operate 24/7 and 365 days a year  -- my daughter is a nurse and does not get holidays off unless she schedules way in advance (and she is just a year into her career)  -- I get soooo tired of I don't want to work weekends, I don't want to work holidays that I could scream  -- I know you took the job to be with your kids but think of how business would be otherwise  - when I was growing up, stores used to be TOTALLY closed on Sunday  -- this is no longer the case  -- bet the grocery checkers and everyone else dosent gripe about working weekends or holidays  -- Ithis is a career and you have to take the good with the bad.


I normally get up in the morning, have my coffee check email do checking of my system and hit the ground running  -- sometimes I have good days and sometimes I have awful days, but I have been in this profession for over 30 years and if I have had to had a holiday off, move et cetra I have scheduled it ahead of time  either that too, holidays do not necessarily have to be celebrated on THAT PARTICULAR day.


Off my soapbox


 


 


 


Then why was posted in response to MY post? - sm
Am I supposed to know it's for the OP??  And I'm quite relaxed and chilled out.  Maybe you're the one who needs to relax and giving orders. 
and if you click on that post asking, you will see response under.

I recall your post. You did not get a response and it was YOU
who were very rude and downright nasty. My goodness, you have no insight whatsoever.

The answer to your question would have taken a great deal of time to answer, perhaps others did not want to get into it.

I decided NOPE after I read your post, though never did find initial post question.

Not sure, but I come across people who literally expect adoption papers to be taken out and get angry when this does not come about.

I think ya all DO have a
hip aw rooon the shoulder, just don't have the energy or inclination to bother. Sorry.
I'm unclear as to what this response has to do with My Opinion's post.

Jo..I e-mailed you a response about your original post....(nm)

mmmm


Do you think you get a better response to post your resume on here or answer ads on here. Which one
seems to give the best result. 
With all the negative posts in response to a positive post, I am

surprised that anyone posts anything here. 


I do not work for Keystrokes but I like to see what is out there, and the benefits they are offered, if coupled with a decent line rate and steady work load, are better than most I have seen.


Gone are the days of fully-paid pension plans.  Gone are the days of three weeks' vacation.  Employers cannot afford these, and not just in transcription.


If you aren't interested or do not like something, just ignore the post.  You obviously were interested or you would not have read it.


Can't we cut back on the nasty posts on this board?  If it does not concern you, don't criticize. 


If you are not looking for a new position, don't gripe about ones that are being offered.  If you are looking and a company's line rates, benefits or perks don't meet your personal requirements, why cut that company down?  Just move on and good luck finding what you are looking for. 


I agree with the poster about being mad at the entire industry, but I still love my career choice.  It has been a good fit for me and has allowed me to live a nice lifestyle. 


If I wasn't happy, I'd move on to another career. 


good post, but in response to 'why apply if you don't want the job'....

This is only my opinion.  If I am considering taking on a new account, I will send my resume' out to a few companies, and see what offers come in.  If it takes one company a day or two to make an offer and another company a week, I may not be available in a week. 


Not sure if you think it is proper to send out a resume to just one company, and cross fingers hoping they will call with a decent offer.  I, for one, prefer to interview the company, not have the company interview me.


Hope this sheds some insight on why you may not receive a call back from those who submit their resume'.  You may be taking too long to get back to them. 


did anyone get a response from the original poster? this post is just fishy, especially since they

Their ad has been removed.

The CLK job has been removed as we do not allow

job posts advertising pay of less than .05 cpl.  Even for a new MT, anything less than .05 cpl is entirely too low even as a learning wage.  We welcomed the company to repost offering .05 cpl as a learning wage of pay.

I removed the job ad. SM
I don't believe it is legitimate for several reasons including the fact it mentions benefits for ICs (ICs do not receive insurance benefits or any benefits) and they ask for money up front for background checks. You should not have to pay to interview or work for any company advertising here.

That's because most of the posts were removed

I think those posts were removed

and the MQ board has a post from Goldbird stating that there is no proof of such.


If it is true, it wouldn't be the first time. Secondly, it wouldn't be much of a surprise since it's been all over the business news that Philips (the majority stockholder) announced it wants to sell.


As a current employee of MQ, I certainly don't think things can get much worse at MQ, so maybe a new owner would be a good thing. Fortunately, I have a backup plan and can just sit back and watch this one play out.

No, it's not. A thread was removed.
As is alluded to here; however, the context is missing. That is why the person is asking for a private e-mail.
The thread that was removed had nothing to do with
Landmark, it had to do with someone complaining about people complaining on this board.
