Greedy MT is right

I totally disagree.  The reason that half of them cannot get their line count in is because there are probably several of you working "off schedule" and it makes it impossible.  I run a small MTSO and if I knew that some of my IC's were doing what you do, they would be out without a second glance.   That is why the accounts run short and it is hard to balance the amount of MT's with the accounts.  But I think you are wrong and selfish to not care about anyone else but yourself.   Whatever your money buys you won't help you at the day of revelation.


 


Gosh, you must be one of the greedy MTs

As you said, greedy MTSO's usually end up...
out of the business.  Or, at least, we transcriptionists warn each other about business owners like that one.  I have had the same experience as has so many MT's who have been doing this for some time.  Yes, I hope that I can both pay experienced transcriptionists well, add a few of the many benefit requests that have been posted here, and also make a profit.  I certainly intend to try!

<<(especially with my disgust at the way greedy insurance companies treat our citizens..especially the elderly)..>>

Jennifer,

Unfortunately, the hospitals (and doctors) also treat their patients the same way. The "padding" of bills has been ongoing for years.
I use to pay medical claims and had to go through the hospital charges with a fine tooth comb.

And, yes, some do charge for a Band-Aid, aspirin, etc!

Thankfully, this practice was seen in only one or two doctor charges but nevertheless, it was present.

Please, don't take this post as pro-insurance companies, as I'm not. But, neither am I pro-hospital billing depts.
Greedy companies.

If greedy MTs would work their schedule...
management would not have to remind them to stop stealing work from another MTs schedule.
So you are angry at Indian MTs and not the greedy

As long as this country allows greedy companies (s/m)
so send good U.S. jobs to people in other countries with a lower standard of living who will happily work for far less than a person could ever support themselves on here in the U.S., transcription and other good jobs will go down the toilet. I'm still glad I didn't waste my time in college, because nowadays that's no protection, either. The short-sightedness of offshoring U.S. work is the same as hiring illegal immigrants - except the workers stay in their own countries. I guess in the future, the only way to compete will be to MOVE to India, Pakistan, etc., and work THERE for American companies.
Lots of greedy MTSOs started out as MTs.
It's about money. Always it. How much you guys can stuff into your own pockets, and how little you can pay the people who make your income possible.

My heart bleeds.
shame on those greedy union workers sm
They just HAVE to eat every day now, don't they. Why the nerve of them...to think they want health care benefits and retirement pensions.

n the meantime,the poor CEOs and board members are going broke with no $$$ left to fuel their private jets so they can go beg for a tax payer bale out.
i'm neither greedy or uncaring. i just have so much time in the day and to get atta girls and no
is a waste of my time. i use my money to help others who are not as fortunate as i am so it's not about stock piling cash for myself. you are a very poor judge of character and in the meantime, for every supportive e-mail you get from a supervisor who gets paid to send you the e-mail, we are that much further from getting a raise. they pay some dumba$$ to tell you are doing fine and don't give you a raise cause they have to pay a dumba$$ to tell you that you are doing fine. how much sense does that make? don't you have family and friends to reinforce you - for free?

THOSE GREEDY MTSOS AND THE BEATING OF DEAD HORSE BY QADRAGONLADY

Yes they are greedy and hire the cheapest they can get by with.  They are the ones who took over what used to be transcription companies owned by women.  They saw a chance to make some easy money and that is the bottom line.  They checked us all out, moved in like vultures and offered our clients free equipment, discounted work for a year, and then it has turned into this mess that we see now with offshoring, bickering, low wages, and on and on.  Now they are overcharging the clients that were unfortunate enough to fall for the line of garbage when theyear switched over to the "bigger techno MTSO" who really were unprepared, as far as I am concerned, for what they took on.  Look where we are now, offshoring, and on and on and on.  Sigh. 


Another thing I would like to see is QA departments policing themselves.  I pulled out 22 binders filled with templates, samples, etc. from 10 different sources and guess what I found?  Mistakes by the boatload.  These are samples that were sent out to MTs by QA departments to "go by" - how hilarious. These were companies with great reputations and some are currently in business using the same templates, the same samples, etc.   The temples were to be used "verbatim" and the MT is to insert any changers by the dictator, but all else was to be left.  One had cc as cc's (gasp) and wrong tenses (gasp), 7.0 instead of 7, and on and on.  Some were horrendous and beyond belief and were handed out by QA departments. 


One client that I do business with has five QA people and none of them agree with the other.  They all have their own "style" as they put it.  So, it just depends on who is on if they pull your report for a once-over or you have a blank.  Then,, the politics goes like this:  They all want the MTs to send the QAs you got from other QA people to THEM (the QA person who did not QA that report).  That is like QA doing QA on QA.  Sounds like maybe extra careful?   No, they then send it to their supervisor trying to get the other QA persons fired.  Nice colleague interaction going there, right? 


I only go by BOS almost completely if the work is hospital because of the audits that go on with JCAH or whatever they call themselves these days.  Then, sometimes the doctors don't agree with JCAH and want it their own way, which may not be the way some QA wants it.  The bottom line is I tell them from the outset that I do it the right way, the way the one who signs the document wants it.  That is the bottom line.  If the hospital complaints I refer them back to the dictator.  When I have one of those I put comments on the page for my future reference and that of QA.  I only violate the dictators wishes when he or she wants me to transcribe against HIPAA regulations (like the patient's name, address, and phone number, etc.)  I then comment that the information was dictated, but not transcribable due to HIPAA regulations.
