Communication is not something they are good at. I've been taken off of 2 accounts, pools have been switched on my main account. I was given no notification of any of this. When I ask, I'm still not given a reason.

I've been at OTI over 2 years now and I cannot recall ever getting a "feel good" emai - OTIer

Generally, the only emails they send out are when they want to chastise and berate people, especially the poison pen notes from AK. I'm not sure they have heard of the phrase POSITIVE reinforcement.

That's because you didn't work there before SE was let go. - nm

Feel Good Email From OTI - caninemom3

[ In Reply To ..]
Good morning. Speaking of poison pen notes, I just received one from AK. I have to vent here a little. I am getting really TIRED of this person's attitude. I know I am free to go somewhere else but I just wanted to post that I agree with all here who say that she is rude and nasty and I am SICK OF IT. The poison pen note today was because apparently there have been duplicate dictations typed and the message was that we should never type these duplicates. Of course, to my knowledge no instructions were ever given what to do about these types of report. It is common sense NOT to type a duplicate. Thanks for listening. My post really has no point, just needed to get this out of my system.

How would we know it's a dupe if we hadn't typed the first one? That was the part of the e-mail I didn't understand. I don't understand the attitude either. Many of us are disgusted with the whole situation there now, so it would seem they could be a little nicer.

I thought about e-mailing her and asking her how we would know sm - OTIer

if it was a duplicate or not, but figured I'd just get some hateful, berating response, indicating I was obviously of low intelligence not to just inherently know such things.

It's similar to... - Flower

on the T account, we were sent an e-mail stating to NEVER EVER type a DS. Okay, so what do we do if we get one? What is the correct way to handle it? That was never stated in the e-mail.

This poster is not Flower from "Restuvus." I am.... - Flower

We were not told never, ever, ever to type a discharge summary. We were asked not to during business hours. If it was a weekend or after hours we could type it. We also got an email that said during business hours send it as a NR with a little note saying it was a discharge summary. Read your emails.

I have been there 2 years and have NEVER gotten such an email. sm - OTIer

It doesn't matter. I think the point is that AK always has a nasty, condescending tone in her emails. It is not imagined. I have heard her say things about other MTs that are downright mean. She talks as if she is the high priestess of transcription, never making a mistake, and it is a thorn in her side to have to deal with all of these obviously inferior underlings.

I'm sure this is coming from a "suit" - sm

Unless the poster is one of their favorite (and I DO know they have their favorites).

I do hate to defend her, bu she did say "knowingly." - nm

Yep, she said "knowingly" underlined and bolded - along with

an email that was also "yelling" in ALL CAPS. Very unprofessional.

Unless you have personally typed a report, you would not know it is a duplicate. Makes one wonder why suddenly there are duplicate reports â�� it just adds to that â��hot mess feelingâ�� that OTI has become.

Hi! This is how I feel today. Sometimes my account (not MD-IT) has so much work we are chasing our tail. However, this week has been really slow so I am looking for a new full-time home and I'll stay with the old place part-time. To that end, any word on MD-IT? I just would like to sit down at X o'clock and put in 7-8 hours and be done. I really hate babysitting the computer for a dang job???!!! In here three hours already and only have 200 lines Thanks for hear ...

I have had my own medical transcription business for almost 30 years. Recently, my largest client informed me they are going to start using a template that docs will fill out when they see patients. I am losing a lot of income and really need to replace it. My friend told me that coding is a good thing to get into now. I don't want to spend the time and/or money learning that if the pay is not good and the jobs aren't plentiful. I have tons of medical transcription experience ...

did you all read the email today about the med error that killed the patient. They email us and say while the article doesn't say it is a transcription error....... Okay, this is a tragedy that a patient died from a med error. However, seriously, Nuance. have you ever worked on a hospital unit? Cuz I have and a bet a lot of MTs have at one point or another. They don't use our transcribed notes as med orders. They use the actual med sheet or med ...

do you think doing QA brings you a more steady work flow? I have been an MT for 35+ years and have worked the last 10 or so of those years at home. I am frustrated with constantly running out of work no matter where I go, so I thought about possibly inquiring about the QA position. Just curious about what others' thoughts might be. TIA. ...

Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years). However, I realize that many other MTs may be in the same position, i.e., having many years devoted to working at the Big MTSOs including â��the M,â�� and â��the Nâ�� and (now to be included) â��the Tâ�� following close behind in total numbers of MT/Editors on staff. (Hint: Sure most of you know the M, the N and the T - and the names have been int ...

Most are within 20 or 30 dollars, but they all are getting progressively smaller, smaller, smaller. Compared to two years ago, it's literally half of what I was making. Egads! Soon I will be p ...
