How does this happen? Newbies training VR??

How long is one considered a newbie? I'm currently working as an IC for .055 ppl and have been for about 6 months.... I really need to work for a better paying company.... is it normal to have such a low-paying job for the first year? ...

There seem to be a lot of posts from newbies recently. I just started last week. How many others are here who have just started in the past week or two? I wish there was a way we could connect. Wouldn’t it be great to get to know the others on our team/account? ...

Pass your transcription test and have the recruiter say that she will call you at a certain time for an interview and then never call? ...

Hi, don't know if this is the right place to ask, but two mornings in a row, I have received this in my Hotmail "junk" mail box. It says "Private Notice" and the subject line says "YOU'RE DEAD." Of course I haven't opened these and sent them directly to "delete." Does anyone know if there's a new virus or worm or something going around like this? Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them? I've googled and checked Norton and McAfe ...

It seems like I am always changed to a different account whenever we have an incentive program going on. Is that their way of telling me they do not want me to make any extra money, not that I make much now, LOL. ...

You see a job listing, and when you click on it and read the description you think, "Hey, I can do that!" You even think or know that you would enjoy doing that kind of work. Then you register and begin the online application process. It's 29 pages, with every single detail about your jobs for the past 10 years REQUIRED/MANDATORY fields! You either begin the process with good intentions, but after a while you have a headache and tire of it so give up and either aband ...

I edited a report in which I changed leukoesterase to leuk esterase, however, when I went to upload, spellcheck found "leukoesterase" which no longer was visible in the report (at least not what was on my screen!). I went back in and deleted the whole word, then put it in again as two separate distinct words and that time, spellcheck accepted it. But what worries me is does this occur other times? Are our edits somehow NOT being recognized on the other end? Heaven know ...

I have never had this much trouble before doing my job. I will have 99% on those FIESA and then 1 report will be a C and my QA averages out to a "C" 99.3%. What happens if I never get a score higher than that? Fire me? Cool beans! Need a vacation anyway !!! Seriously, what the hell is this QC crap? How can FEISA be A, B or sometimes a C and the QC score is super low???? I think it's just so they don't have to pay bonuse ...

person who owns Fast Chart? I am going to report the things that have been going on to them. Of course, I tried that at another place (DSG) and it did no good. Not one good place to work anymore:(( ...

How did we get to this point? I have been an MT for 35 years and how did we let our profession turn into the slave labor it has become. This used to be a great job, good pay and well respected. I read these boards and see all the complaints about low pay, no pay, no work, etc. and it makes me physically ill. But, I also know nothing will change if WE collectively do not demand and force change. I know people need their jobs and need money, I do too but at what cost? How long will we allow t ...

Now I'll admit it would be a lot less interesting, but at least it wouldn't be so volatile all the time. Sometimes I leave here just feeling like crap, even when I'm not involved, just from reading all the fighting going on. ...

I've always been one of the ones who has been fairly comfortable with my job performance ... I'm a high producer and have always passed all my audits so I'm one that comes here to give support, and offer tips when they're warranted. But, I just failed my last audit and now my confidence is completely shaken. Before I log on to work I get butterflies, and feel a wave of "dread" come over me that makes me want to never log on to this company again. I know ... ...

I wonder what would happen if I didn't answer any emails anymore? I've been questioning my QC person about what I've been finding on feedback and got back a rather snarky e-mail about how I should know certain things, etc. How can I know when I get dinged for doing something by one person and dinged by another person for doing the same thing correctly? Can anyone who is QA tell WHY aren't you all on the same page. Everyone of you dings differently. Don't you have co ...

I saw these companies that were hiring with no experience. I don't know about the pay or anything else about these companies. http://www.etransplus.com/careers/ http://kmmedicalt.com/careers.html ...

I have been with MQ, well. . . , FOREVER unfortunately. I found out about the board when I was googling something about Medquist about 2-1/2 years ago. How did you all find out about this board! ...

us oldies are getting below 98%, in some cases waaayy below, after years or decades of exemplary work, with raises, etc. How much more obvious can it get that they're downsizing the highest paid (and most experienced) MT/ME, to hire the newbies and get the tax breaks. Makes me SICK, so I resigned a couple weeks ago and feel absolutely in shock that I did it, finally, and trust in God for a better job. ...

(Creaky voice) Baaaack when I was starting out... I had neither experience nor education, except my own attempts at self-training by reading "Taber's Medical Encyclopedia," and typing practice from "Norton's Anthology of Poetry." After 3 weeks of mailing resumes to local offices, I had decided to give up on finding an MT job. It looked like no experience, no hire. Then I took part in a transcription "casting call" at a large FP clinic. I tested horribly for speed (12 wpm), got stuck fo ...

I want the newbies who come here and read the complaints and get scared about "what have I gotten myself into" to realize that not everyone is unhappy at MedQuist. Keep in mind that they have literally thousands of employees and only a handful come here to vent their unhappiness (which is fine, I understand, not everyone is going to be in an ideal situation). I think it very much depends on your circumstances as to how life will be at MQ. I was a new grad hire and once I ...

I see it here often and I just read it again, misplaced on the Job Seeker's forum: "I just graduated from an MT school and everything requires experience. How do I get experience?" This is a question that needs to be addressed with the schools you are choosing. And it should be asked BEFORE you start the course. There are courses that are less expensive but they lack various key components-- like instructors, placement assistance, etc. (That's not addressing t ...

For those of you new Nuance MTs, how do you like it there so far? Thanks! ...

Hi! First I want to say I love my accounts and can get my minimum and more WHEN I don't run out of work. Are you all running out of work? It's getting to the point I am thinking of finding another job. I hate to as I really like it here. Thanks for reading ...

signing bonuses, too!! ...

I knew that sooner or later one of these Indian ESLs would revert back into speaking in their own tongue. I suspected that before but it was just their way of speaking English. I couldn't believe it when this guy today, midsentence, started talking in his Indian dialect. He laughed at himself, embarassed, then continued in English. I didn't find it funny. ...

Has anyone heard, been given notice, going back to MT'ing?? ...

So, I NEED a job! I have one, but we are ALWAYS out of work and I need some supplemental income. I apply for a full-time job (other job is IC) and it is Monday through Friday, full benefits, etc. He ASKS me to tell him what I plan to make and I know lately everyone seems to be wanting to pay no more than 8 cpl and I WANTED the Monday through Friday, any hours, etc that the job offered, so I told him 8 cpl with spaces. You know what? He emails me back and says great, ...

My group is not in lockdown yet. I have been dreading it. It seems like chaos and this was making me want to quit. Although, these last 2 weeks, I have been on the other side where people have been jumping on and taking my work. Just found out that some MT's are supposed to work 12-24 hours a week and instead, they have been putting in anywhere from 28-48 hours in ONE week. I work in the evenings and kept running out of work at 11PM!!! What? Just m ...

We were just informed that our facility is considering sending as much of 80% of its coding to India to cut costs. They would keep only the most difficult work here in the US. And so the downhill slide appears to be beginning. Our company has informed us that most new clients are asking for an offshore option so as to cut the costs of coding. I guess it is on to something new once again! ...

Well I've been reading about it. Looks like it might happen in my neck of the woods now. I work in a radiology department in a hospital where I get a semi-decent hourly wage plus incentive pay and it turns out to be a pretty decent job for me. We are short-staffed due to the inability to find qualified help or even just "trainable help" these days. I just got word that if we cannot keep up with our workload, it will be outsourced. My boss just told me within the last six months and s ...

very long time. When I checked it out today, it seemed like all the posts were really old. Maybe I was doing something wrong. ...
