Am I naive to expect a reply to my question posted - yesterday in the All-Thumbs meeting?

.....entitled "Tell us about your stressful job." I'm sure it won't help our cause, but BOY DID IT MAKE ME FEEL GOOD!: Do some research on medical transcription! It used to be a very respected position, and we were paid a decent wage. Nowadays, with pressure from government to cut costs or lose reimbursement, most facilities have dismissed their transcriptionists and have outsourced to transcription companies that pay transcriptionists a fraction of what we made working for fac ...

Hi, I applied for a job at MModal. I am only looking for part-time work to help supplement some of my income. I also work for another company subcontracting. Can anyone tell me what to expect as far as how they contact you, how long, etc.? Thanks in advance. ...

It is not realistic and not likely to happen. MModal, you need to get real. ...

very long reports coming in about 10 minutes before we are about to finish for the day, which will force us to either do, causing us to stay over, or opt out of, which will leave time which we then will have to make up at their approval. There's always torture involved with just doing our job. It's like industrial terrorism. ...

After 20 years of hospital-based HIM transcription, they gave us away to Medquist. I feel set up for failure by not getting consistent hospital accounts and never having a chance to learn a specific account. Communication with management is - absent - unless they want something from you. I also find the pay and line count methodology to be deplorable, to say the least. I have VR experience, but find that Medquist just turns on literally EVERYTHING to VR, and most of it re ...

I am going for an interview for an editing position with a transcription company who outsources overseas. Can anyone tell me what to expect for pay? - Thanks, SL ...

These MTSOs just expect way too much out of someone just APPLYING for a job these days that it has caused me to not even apply anymore. I need work, but I suppose I don't need it enough to be willing to jump through all of the hoops that they require. The MT testing site has been aggravating enough, to take so much time on a test, not even knowing if you will get a call back, even if you DO pass. Lately, like the past 3 jobs I have looked into, their testing process was IN ...

I have a phone interview with Medquist. Could anyone tell me what to expect? Thanks in advance! ...

Over the 6 years I've been with them, have only gotten a half-penny/line raise once! That was after the first year...never again since and my accuracy has been above the required 98%, usually 100%....GREEDY COMPANY! ...

I just set up an interview for an in-house job. Problem is, I've only worked from home, so I'm really not sure what to expect. It is for a rural hospital district. My experience is with medium to large multispecialty clinic accounts. The HM manager said it was transcription, including radiology, as well as acting as assistant to her, which makes me think it might be more clerk work than transcription. I'm wondering if there are any questions I should ask m ...

1. Expect to feel proud of your career choice again. 2. Expect your family and friends to be proud of you for no longer being exploited the way you are. 3. Expect to enjoy going to work every day. 4. Expect to be able to pay your bills on time and even have a little left over to do whatever you want with. 5. Expect to feel a sense of security in knowing that you will be able to take care of yourself. 6. Expect to make some new friends and even have someone to share your mealtime with. 7. E ...

How can one company expect an IC to be full-time? Isn't this a contradiction? I mean, how can you be an IC and work for only one company? Or, does this mean that you should have more than one job and work more than full-time? ...

I am trying to learn a new clinic account and find little to no work. I can't even come close to getting my minimum line requirement of 1,200 daily. How long does the holiday slump generally last? ...

Sometimes I wonder with companies who pay an MT less while they are on full QA, if they don't simply keep that MT on QA for as long as possible to avoid paying the higher rate. Has anyone ever pressed the QA issue? ...

I have worked for the same service for over 4 years. I am an IC MT. I feel I deserve an increase. I asked for one at the end of my first year and was told the economy was bad....blah, blah. Ok, I understood that but now I feel I have earned an increase. Yes, I realize that many feel an IC should just inform the service of their increase. I know that would not fly with this service. They could care less if you work for them or not. Theyhave a "we wi ...

Was just wondering if anyone had any idea of what they ask, etc. Would like to be as prepared as possible. ...

Do you feel you are getting a good rate, and most importantly, do you set your hours? Do you work weekends, etc.? I am wondering how flexible they are for ICs. Thanks! ...

I was wondering if anyone would know of a company that would hire someone that is enrolled in their medical transcription courses? ...

You are without a doubt the rudest and most negative person I have ever met. for your information, I have been a medical transcriptionist since 1988, 24 years. How dare you call me a snail typist when you don't even know me?!!!!Also, telling me not to come here and gripe well ain't that the pot calling the kettle black!!! All I see on this site is griping. But I see this is only for the select few. I hope you have a very negative Christmas as that is what you seem to enjoy the most. ...

Gettin' a bit tired of never hearing back from my TSM about something that I've been trying to get an answer on now for over a week. Very aggravated!!!!! ...

I like how CCM says that we need to work extra to make up for the downtime. Uh..I do have a life outside of Mmodal. Not my fault the system is down day after day. ...

For anyone who applied to Oracle last week, did you get any kind of reply? I called their office and the receptionist said she was looking over many aps and would be hearing from her, but nothing. ...

I recently graduated and have applied to three jobs that accept newbies. My first application went in last week, they replied and asked me to go through the application testing. I turned it in on thursday and i know it takes time but im really anxious. ...

It's management trying to figure out who you are? but maybe I'm just being paranoid. ...

I feel dumb having to ask this, as I'm usually pretty good with navigating sites and figuring things out on my own. How does one go about posting a reply, or replying to a post that gives no email or contact info? ...

After all the Fiesa I have reviewed for free...all the ! emails I have read and responded to immediately for free....all the time I have spent checking my email for a response to an email I sent, never to hear a response, for free....all the reversals I have requested on my own time....all the time I spent just last Christmas alone checking for work that never came ...the countless hours I have spent waiting for work and coming back to check over and over again.....the time I have spent switchin ...
