Does anyone know if Diskriter pays for you to ship the computer back, or sm - Wanting out

Posted: Dec 15, 2011

if you have to pay for it yourself? I am really unhappy there, but I hate to incur another big expense around Christmas time if I do not have to do so.

TIA.

Yes they do. The will ask you to pack it and they will send carrier to get it.nm - Jeri

Yes they do, and they want it back as soon as possible after you quit. They will call you and tell you when it is going to be picked up so you can have it packed and ready to go. I'm happy to hear that I wasnt the only one who hated it there. Leaving will be the best thing you ever did!

Wow. Could you 2 posters elaborate. I was going to accept a position - Dodging bullets?

Just wondering if I dodged a bullet and was recently so desperate for a job that I considered emailing them again about a job. How long have you both been there and what is making you want to leave?

VR doesn't "learn," jobs load separately from typing platform, pay sm - Wanting out

for straight typing is 7 cpl, and something has to be going on with the platform as I can barely do 200 lph straight typing compared to 300-350 other places, and only 350 or so VR. If you want to make any money, this is NOT the place to be! You will not have any work during your shift, and then suddenly there is OT approved, then again when it is your shift, there will be no work. You never get any feedback unless it is something negative. I had to beg for feedback when training, never knowing if I was doing things correctly or not. I have been there 6 months now and I am tired of getting up every morning and dreading my job. A woman who retired left a note to everyone, including the higher ups, about all that she thought was wrong and she hit it on the head. Of course, that was squashed and nothing has ever been done to change anything, but I applaud her for her guts to speak up, even if it was on her way out.

Diskriter is probably not the worst place in the world to work, but it is on my list of places I'd rather not work.

Good luck to you.

Why do you hate it? - stunned by NTS/WX takeover

I'm looking for something else since I have had the rug pulled out from under me at Webmedx (Nuance now). It used to be the best, now it's the worst. Looking at Diskriter's ad. Do they suck, too? Why?

Platform is horrible for one... - JF

I went and looked at the ad and saw that the platform used was Dolby Fusion, which is the same horrific, dinosaur platform they had when I was there. You have to use a separate player with it, voice is not even integrated with a sound card. Jobs get stuck in the player all the time and you will get emails telling you "a job has been in your player since such-n-such a time, please do it now!" Plus, there is mandatory overtime every week, which in my opinion would not be the case if they were to upgrade their system and make it more functional and productive. If you want to know more just email me.

I'm leaving too -- felt like a tremendous weight had been lifted off my shoulders sm - Colorado MT

when I resigned, and I am happy to send back their cruddy computer. It makes noises like a jet engine trying to take off, and when I told IT about it, they didn't care, just told me they could back up my data for when it crashes. That's the least of my worries, though. I just hated being obligated to a company that felt no obligation to me in return. I was supposed to be there but they felt no obligation to provide the work they promised.

Happier days are ahead. :-)

We need to take massive action to change this industry. Are we going to continue to take the lies from the thieving MTSOs? A lawsuit here, a lawsuit there, that is helpful for the few involved, but as a group we have to make change happen now. Fear is keeping us here, and that is what they want. They steal our pay, they disrespect us, while they get rich. That's not right in my world. I deserve to have work when I log in. I deserve to be paid a ...

and everybody sending resumes to the few remaining companies that are left, this is going to cause a big glut of hungry MTs looking for jobs, so guess what? The MTSOs are going to start lowering their line rates, upping their requirements for equipment, internet, etc., and the MTs are going to be the ones losing even more in the end. Then with shipping the remaining work to India and the EHR, it is DEFINITELY time to get out of MT! The ones who can't see this and are hangi ...

To all you are wondering if it can happen. Yes, it can and it did for me. I was just hired for my first coding job!!! I am only half way through my AHIMA coding course but I have 20 years of acute care transcription experience. I applied for every job that came up even if I did not meet the requirements. Only a few responded, but that is okay. It only takes one. I was really surprised that I even was offered the chance to test. My first test was a ...

I was hired as a recruiter for a large cancer nonprofit that holds walk-a-thons. It is a 3-month temporary position and I was allowed to choose the hours, anywhere from 20 to 40 hrs a week. It involves reaching out to corporations and individuals and asking them for in-kind or monetary donations as well as participating in the walk-a-thon itself. Most of the contacts are repeat donors and are happy to get the call to join in the event again. Participation with the event is also required - se ...
