Can an employer or company (or their legal representative) obtain the email address or actual name of someone who posts on this site?
Only if they have a court order OR if you - sm

if you do a reply by email, they will see your email address. If they respond to your email, you will then see theirs, too.
Otherwise, a court order would be required for them to give info up like that.
Threatening email. - wizard

I received a threatening email last week in response to my post on this site. At first, it sounded as though the emailer was providing sound advice, but then the email stated that I might want to remove my post because I could get fired for a "post like that."
My post was about being OOW all the time for the big N....nothing worse than anything else I have read on these boards.
I have heard others say they have gotten emails like this and I was skeptical...I am skeptical no longer.
I did not and would not respond via email.

Just create a new email account with some sort of alias with the sole purpose of posting here. Problem solved.
Just curious. Are you asking because you're an employee - sm

and you're worried, or are you an employer trying to discover the identity of someone who posted something negative about your company?

You're just curious? And I'm just Angelina Jolie.
I've had a clinic in WA state refuse to release to me or my new PCP some archived files I had sent to them from my doctor in San Francisco.
A local hospital MR department said that the files are mine since I paid for them and that they absolutely should have told me why they were refusing to release these particular files--I was just repeatedly refused.
I was told that there is a HIPAA clause that permits re-release of such documents, but I'm having trouble finding t ...
Was I the only person who had a problem with signing M-Modal's FULL DISCLOSURE agreement that they want you to sign when you start? Giving them "carte blanche" to any and all information into your life??, which I obviously did not sign??? ...
Even though I just let my AHDI membership expire, I was still due one more issue of their journal, Plexus, which I received today. In previous issues, I always scanned the "Employers Guide" pages in the back of the journal, and there were many employers listed - at least two pages' worth. This newest issue, however, lists only seven. Perhaps the rest went overseas? ...
I have been an MT for about 4 years now. I have been working with one employer doing speech editing transcribing 3200 lines per 8-hour shift. However, I just received a 2nd job from a different employer working part-time and they pay more. My question is one employer needs my computer to have Word 2003 on it for their program to work and the other employer needs my computer to have Word 2007. How can I do both jobs at the same time. Has anyone done this before and i ...
Dear Employer:
Please make client sheets clear. I am so tired of reading a client sheet over and over trying to understand how something is supposed to be done. There's got to be a better way. Don't put information in one area of the client sheet and then an exception to the rule somewhere else. I read through the instructions until I find what I need, if there is an exception to the rule it should be where the rule is, not somewhere else in the instructi ...
Are the rest of you as disgusted as I am with not hearing back after sending an application? Are all these ads for work just made up to look like there are jobs when in reality the ads are fakes? I hear from so many other MTs/editors that they apply for jobs but never hear back, even after receiving permisson to do testing. Maybe we should all stop applying and let them sit and spin! ...
Has anyone here turned down a job with an MTSO because their platform is crappy?
My employer's platform is TERRIBLE!! You have go through 15 mouse commands (no hot keys!) to perform the simplest function such as signing off a job. I have never seen more inefficient software in my life!! Of course, since they own it now they claim it's the greatest thing since sliced bread....
Would love to hear your platform stories!! ...
To apply for a job as a Medical Language Specialist employers prefer that your training was acquired from Career Step, Penn Foster, The Andrews School and others. I acquired my training from Professional Career Development Institute, The School of Medical Transcription. Did anyone find a job after graduating from this institute? ...
It was not bad enough for them to let me go without any kind of notice, but now they will not tell DHS how long I worked for them so I can get food stamps!! Thanks DSG!!! ...
Hello fellow MT's! I was wondering if anyone knew of any companies hiring MT's with 1 year exp? I have been an IC for a company since October 2011 and am having trouble finding another company to work for (I want to supplement this income). Thanks!
P.S.
I've already tried M*Modal. ...
So I graduated in February and began the job hunt. Finally I receive one call back from a local company. To date I have attended two seperate interviews. The second time I was supposed to test but the computer was not working so a couple of weeks later they schedule testing at one of the transcriptionist house. I test and the computer freezes up. Luckily the test is recovered the next day and sent to the boss for review. Get another call today, and am told that ...
at home for MTSOs? Some ads seem to want X-number of years of RECENT on-site MT experience. Others don't say that, but with so many failed job applications this past year, even for areas that I've specialized in for 20 years, I'm getting no interest, and often no replies at all. In addition to having more than 20 years' experience, do you think these employers have a problem with work-at-home MTs? Like maybe they see us as undisciplined, poorly trained ...
This is kind of an embarassing question, but when you send your resumes out to companies, do a majority of them simply not contact you to say "thanks anyway" if they are either not hiring or do not want to hire you? I've sent my resume out to a dozen and have only gotten one "not hiring right now " reply. ...
Unless your compensation plan is based on audio minutes or report page, "paid by line" doesn't mean anything to job seekers other than tedium on both sides of the hiring process.How many characters are in your line? ...

This is an interesting read by ALANA SEMUELS, of the McClatchy-Tribune.
Here is an excerpt, but please follow the link to the full story. Sound familiar?
"The relentless drive for efficiency at U.S. companies has created a new harshness in the workplace. In their zeal to make sure that not a minute of time is wasted, companies are imposing rigorous performance quotas, forcing many people to put in extra ...
I don't know where they get all of their silly ideas, one new, amazing idea after another. You would think they would look back at the last several silly ideas they've had that didn't work and use some common sense, but that doesn't happen.
It's always the idea to end all ideas, but those ideas never end well.
Just a vent. ...
Unfortunately, I have failed to contact the IT Departments of companies on-line I have worked for transcribing medical dictation after I have left their organizations and asked them how to remove their software. How do I identify and remove any old software from these companies? They don't seem to mind their software is on my computer, but I think it is probably time to delete it. I am having trouble reaching these people as some of the companies are no longer in business ...
I've been an LPN for 20 years and want to learn medical transcription for at home employment. There are so many online courses out there. Career Step is quite expensive and does not give credit for nursing experience. Tempted by MTrans for Nurses. Can anyone recommend an accredited online course that would help me find decent transcription employment at home opportunities. Thank you in advance for any help. Kate ...
I've been reading these posts about the trinket trash as one person called it (good name) that MTs are receiving from their employers. My employer sent nothing, which if you think about it is less insulting than some of the garbage that has been sent out.
The whole issue reminded me of something, I couldn't think what, until it finally dawned on me. It's like the white man giving the Native Americans trinkets and baubles for their assistance or their land or the ...
