Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Have tried emailing you...

Posted By: Cindy M on 2009-01-28
In Reply to: Can I email you? I would like to ask you - some questions. I work for Spheris.

I got it back, don't know what the problem is. Anyway, long story short, I lasted 10 days at Transtech; had nothing but equipment problems from day 1 that their 2 techs apparently couldn't solve. They called in a third guy who also could not help. They said it probably wasn't my PC. Drove me insane; I was able to do one report at a time, then had to sign completely out and back in again. I quit over this because I could not produce; they liked my work, I liked the account, no problem there. They seemed shocked I quit because of this. They offered to "rent" me one of their PC's, I said no thanks. Guess I'm spoiled; in 30+ years of transcription I've never had to fool with equipment problems and don't want to have to at this point. I went unhappily back to Spheris and got all my benefits back but absolutely hate speech rec and all the other crap going on there these days including losing my Texas account. As of now, I'm putting out resumes at the local hospitals (not transcription jobs) and am hoping for some interviews. I wish you well, your experience with Transtech probably won't be like mine, most folks are apparently happy there.

To NSS -- Better than emailing -- SM
After I finish working tonight, I'll post the instructions right here!


Emailing?
I would definitely call- leaves no paper chase and you can talk with her regarding the situation. Emails leave that chase.
Please stop emailing me. You know who you are. (SM)

I figure it would be rude and/or against the MT Stars TOS for me to use the name of this person or reprint verbatim her emails here on the site, so I will just say this to you ...  you can stop emailing me now. 


I am not going to agree with you that I should be "thankful" for the employer who wants to break our contract and who treats me with disrespect.  I disagree with you that she is my "boss" any more than my hair colorist should view me as her "boss".  My colorist has a talent and I pay her to perform a service for me.  That doesn't make me her "boss", nor can I call her up and demand that she stop making dinner for her family and meet me at the salon to do my highlights.  LOL! 


I do not agree with you that those of us on this board are all a bunch of whiners.  I do not agree with you that my children would be better off being raised in daycare.  My son -- now in fourth grade -- went off to school just fine having been to preschool 2 days a week for 3 hours a day rather than all day every day.  Sorry, but there was no crying and wailing on his first day of school.  You didn't have to put your kids in daycare to prepare them for school.  That's something people say to make themselves feel better about their daycare decision.  If that is the choice you or anyone else made, fine.  It doesn't affect me or my family and it's none of my business.  However, don't give me the "my kids were prepared for school and kids of work-at-home moms like you cry all day at school because they aren't prepared" garbage.  That's what it is, garbage.  Children don't need eight hours a day five days a week of "preparation" for school that is longer than the school day itself.  That's why they have preschool, a couple hours a couple of days a week.  If you chose to put your children in daycare, be proud of or at least confident in your choice without having to make excuses for it. 


And another thing, I HAVE been "in the workforce", as I am sure a lot of these other ladies who work at home have been as well.  I am CHOOSING to do MT so that I CAN be at home raising my children myself.  And, in fact, I am IN the workforce.  I am my own boss.  I have my own business.  I work from home.  I have a contract, and I expect those who sign it to abide by it.  I expect professionalism.  If I were flipping burgers for minimum wage, I might expect to tolerate some behavior like that exhibited by my MTSO.  I am a professional.  I expect my contract to be honored and to be treated professionally.  You don't have to agree with me on that, but you are not going to change my mind about it, either.   


You are the only one who has sided with my MTSO in this.  I am sure my MTSO would love to have you.  However, I'd really like you to stop emailing me now.  If you are proud of your stance on this, post it here for everyone to see, but please leave my inbox alone.   


 


Allegiant MT - Would you be interested in emailing me?
I would like to ask you some questions.  Thanks
I'm not the above emailing poster, but here is the link
I was a previous supervisor with Medquist and had an MT who told me on several occasions that he was a CMT. He didn't know that this info was on the internet. He was not a CMT.

Whatcha wearing and who you're emailing

I had read someone's complaints about complaining yesterday, while browing the board.  I got an email from one of my girlfriends just now, telling me she had been called in for receiving too many emails and given a 90 day verbal warning.  I used to work for a company that told me I made too many personal phone calls and worried I was not dressed professionally enough.  I used to have to pick up the CEO's cleaning and make sure all the buttons were on his shirts and there were no wrinkles.  Filling him a pitcher of water on his desk and leaving no fingerprints on a glass to go with it.  Let's remember that, today, as we sit in our sweats, being comfortable, or if the phone rings and we visit for 10 minutes, or if we get a cute email and want to send it to friends.  No boss towering over us......at least in our home.

Always! When emailing my resume, my email acts as my cover letter and when faxing, I always have a
Your cover letter says much more about you than your resume ever can.  Your resume lists your education, your jobs, and highlights your skills.  In your cover letter, you have an opportunity to sum up how many years total experience you have and get specific about certain things you've accomplished at certain jobs.
