WEBMEDX hands out raises!!!! - nother high producer
Posted: Sep 11, 2010
See (lol), anyone can come up with a Shock and Awe type of title/campaign to get peoples attention to read their post. I mean really, Spyware?!?? Give me a break Pete. It was just about as silly and borderline slanderous as your post! Monitoring keystrokes goes back to the inception of computers being used in transcription. THESE REPORTS WERE DESIGNED TO HELP...END STORY
Look,companies hire and they lay off, its never pretty. I am sure that the layoff was unavoidable as MTSO's are not into spending the money to train MT's to just let them go for no reason.
This latest QA status report is nothing knew either, its just repeating the QA standards which is in the employee manual. I'm sure QA sent in due to account specifics, beyond the MT's control, will not count against us.To me, they are asking us to make a better effort in filling out blanks if you are not already doing so. In other words don't use QA as a crutch.
For those of you that dislike VR then you may want to think about another future. This whole VR deal did not just happen overnight and it is not going away.
Sure, I am not exactly happy with what has happened in our industry but have done very well at adapting. I am a very high producer and at the top where quality is concerned. Having been with this company for many years and yes at times having different opinions with management I know I can count on them for a paycheck every pay period.
No suit here just a dusty ol MT that has learrned the new tricks.
Smile. Type. Think about how GRATEFUL you are to sm - hoo boy
[ In Reply To ..]WMX that they decided to let you stay. Call STM and volunteer for more accounts to look good. Send her a gift. Smooch smooch smooch keep kissing butt.
hoo boy seek help .. - nother high producer
[ In Reply To ..]..because you seem to have a mind set on kissing butts (lol).. well to each their own. My mind set is THIS IS A JOB. If I had been laid off then I would not come in here wasting time whining and trying to get even, but rather go somewhere else where I will earn the same amount because I do my job well. I know this advice is as old as the hills and twice as dusty (as me,lol) but..
..PRODUCTION PLUS QUALITY EQUALS BUCKS!
Smile. Type. Do not wave-takes hand off keyboard sm - hoo boy
[ In Reply To ..]look for flowers online to send to STM. Don't look during work time, use your own time to do it.
Cut hole in chair, place bucket underneath for waste so as not to take hands off keyboard. Wipe your butt on your own time.
Smile. Type. Flag report.
I LOVE your posts, hoo boy! - I have not laughed this hard in ages.
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks! I needed that!!
So you don't like to work, Smile. Take it to the gab board. NM - Hard Worker

Gee..and who says you CAN'T teach an ole MT NEW tricks! Tell that to our recent old-timers, lon - Pete

My experience with WebmedX - Anonymous
[ In Reply To ..]I applied and tested with them several months ago and did well on my test. The recruiter and I agreed on a mutual day and time for an interview. I waited, she never called.

Webmedx hands out raises - JKay
[ In Reply To ..]Now, VR is one thing, but VR which has no VR is a horse of a different color. I went into the "new platform" with an open mind and really do like it, as it's easier to navigate, I think. I can't say what, but SOMETHING just doesn't add up on the lines anymore. It could be having to jump through every hoop the facilities can think of, with templates changing continually, insistence on everything staying in the same place (it being only we who have to jump all over the report continually)and enough unpaid strokes (headings, copies, flagging out the wazoo)that might be the difference! I just did an ISR echo that with my normal usually takes me about 5 minutes to do, but with the gibberish ISR churns out, it took 18 minutes to do what amounted to 17 lines. I have 30 years experience and know very well what I'm doing. Didn't wake up the day ISR came along and all of a sudden I am only capable of doing 60% of what I've done for years. If there are any tricks to staying a high producer on this system, I'd love to hear 'em! BTW, not just me...from every MT I've talked to, it's across the board!

Annual Raises Or Merit Raises?
Dec 03, 2014
Does any MTSO do this? I mean, either an annual cost of living raise or a merit raise based on a regular annual review. Or both. If none of the above, are you able to just ask your boss for a raise when you feel it's appropriate? Does it work? ...
Raises????
Jun 28, 2013
I have been working for a compnay since 12/2007. In that period of time I have worked multiple accounts, learned multiple new software systems and have always gone above and beyond - working over/extra to ensure we stay in our TAT.

QC Raises?
Jul 02, 2013
Anybody who is a QC ever ask for a raise? I got promoted to a QC from an MLS within Nuance. They estimated my rate by averaging my lines per hour, then adding $2 to it as my rate for being a QC. I've been at that rate only 7 months, but see lots of posts here about people being offered jobs in QC at $13 an hour and that is more than I make. Should I ask about a raise? Has anybody ever had luck asking for one? ...

Independent Contracting And Raises
Oct 26, 2009
I am finally leaving the broken world of transcription vending to become an independent contractor once again. I am so very fortunate enough to have benefits through my husband's employer, so it's the pay I am really missing. Is it unreasonable to put a raise in the contract? The hospital basically told me they are not contracting for as much $ as they used to (yet another slap in the face of my career), and kind of hinted that raises are a joke. When I follow ...

Maybe you are new and think they will. Maybe you are old and think they will. They won't. Maybe they don't use this tactic anymore, but when I was there it was "Give Yourself A Raise." That meant produce more. They don't give raises. Don't waste your time E-mailing anybody. Get mad. Sure. Even quit, find yourself a better career. But don't hold your breath. There will be no raises. They don't need you ...

Hands-On

I have worked for Hands-On for a few years now and I think it is a well run company. I recently had surgery for breast cancer, and the owner and manager were very compassionate and concerned for my well being. They are always available to help if I have a question. It is one of the best jobs I have had. You have to work hard, but after all it is a job and if you follow the "rules and regulations" regarding quality of work and turn around time you will get along just fine. You also transcrib ...

Paresthesia In Both Hands
Oct 21, 2009
Date: 10.21.09 I am 44 and a medical transcriptionist. I started working as an MT at age 35 and since then has been doing this job. For the last one year I have been experiencing numbness and paresthesias in both hands and lots of trouble with neck stiffness and fasciculations in both shoulders. I type for 8-1/2 hours from Tuesday to Saturday. I have concluded from this that onset of carpal tunnel starts when a person(male or female) is 40 or above 40 years of age. ...
