WARNING!!! SoftScript monitors these posts!!! Check out Gigi's comment below!!! Maybe they would have happy employees if they spent more time on their business and less time on these boards!!! ...
One person posted about a job for a long time and now the same job is being posted by another individual. I think she's just having us do her work. Can you see if it is the same IP address? Just sounds oddly the same. Thanks. ...
Also, how can I tell when I've run out of space to post in the subject or nickname fields? My posts get cut off a lot.
Just FYI, your message above is misspelled as "Swith" to Plain Text instead of "switch." :) ...
I'm new to IT and have a question: How do you bold text? I went into "Edit" and see several options but not for bolding.
Yes, it's probably in the manual but I'm on the clock right now so hope someone will post it here.
Thanks! ...
How can they ask you to work stated hours if you are an IC? I see this all the time. They want an employee, full time, but an IC. Don't understand all that. ...
these jobs are out there and this is along the norm. Don't - DO NOT - buy into the $30 or $45 an a/h baloney. They are ripping you off. Yes, I'm back on my soap box LOL. ...
According to the job posting this company is based in San Francisco. The stated pay rate averages $241.00 per month. If I were this company, I would embarrassed to advertise the pathetic pay they give their MTs in one of the most expensive cities in the country. If it weren't so tragic that there are desperate people out there looking for a job, it would be laughable. ...
This on the job board today:
"XXXX is looking for an experienced QA person to start immmediatly. We are also looking for MT's that have expereince in cardiology (esl), er and discharge summary experience."
Yes, I think that QA person does need to start "immediatly". ...
I noticed that posting and sent an email. Pretty sure they posted something similar before because my email had saved their address in it. Never heard back though. Does anyone remember this besides me? Did anyone get hired? Or a call? Or an interview? $2.50 a report, for anyone who has never been paid per report, is excellent! ...
I have a POSTER pet peeve.
When a comment or question is posted about a specific company, why is the original poster likely to never elaborate? Why are they wasting everyone’s time?
What is up with these hit-and-run posts? Someone makes an outrageous comment or asks a question implying something negative. Then when you answer and either ask for more information or ask the original poster a question, the original poster is long gone – never to be heard ...
Concerned about the posting from the Midwestern MT who said she had work to be done from TransTech and here we all are sitting and checking and no work. Wondering now about this new SWAT team thing. From what I was told that the 'beast of the business' is they worry about TAT because they have to take a cut in their portion of the line count wages, so they'd rather meet the TAT? And yes, we are all cross trained pretty much anyway, but they want lightening speed. ...
What is up with this? They have plenty of inside people to ASK if they want this work?? I don't get it. How about the old saying from companies that they "hire within first" because they treat the employees with respect since they have been there and are 'loyal.' So, many scraping for work and being exhausted by the demands of having to produce for pennies. Where is this job going? Where is the labor board? We only have this board. ...
Became even more excited when I read that it was owned by a former transcriptionist and then it hit, pay will start at 7-8 CPL, depending upon experience and oh, hey, all of our transcriptionists are ICs. What the heck???? Oh well, hopefully one of the 50 companies that I have applied with this week will contact me. Still beating that worn out path .... Good luck to anyone else that is looking! ...
I am new to MModal. I need to post 5 hours on one of my Sundays to work to see if anyone will cover those. My CCM said I needed to post on swapboard. I can get to swapboard but I don't see anything on there to click for posting. I have went through my paperwork and can't find anything other than what swapboard is for, not posting on it. Thanks in advance for your help! ...

on another board under the name of Focus Infomatics. It is advertising for acute care and new grads... out of curiousity, I clicked on the ad and was shocked to find that it was Nuance advertising. Perhaps they are having a bit of trouble finding qualified transcriptionists who will apply to their company and are now resorting to using an old name that was gobbled up or became a part of Nuance a long time ago. Kind of "shady" advertising, if you ask me. Hopefully the new ...
I want to share my comments about DIRTY POSTs on MTStars. I was just informed about such post about Ascend Healthcare. I have worked for this company since 2000. Some honest clarification would help.
Their MT rates are $0.075 [750 lines per shift], $0.085 per lines [1,000 lines per shift] and $0.12 per line for very special MTs. They pay $0.04/$0.06 per line for editing. They pay $0.8 per RAD VR report editing and $0.035 for VR transcription. Their hourly rates are in the range of $10 - $14. ...
