Geez. What little things make me feel better. - Pleasantly surprised.


Posted: Sep 24, 2011

I just heard a dictator say "thank you transcriptionist for your hard work.  I know I am not easy to transcribe.  Have a good day".  I am SHOCKED!   Haven't heard a thank-you like that in a long time!

my lil thanks - Bhappy

I have a doctor that slurrs though his name so fast at the end of his reports that, to me, it sounds like he is saying thank you and my name, even though he is just saying his name.

Every time he does it, I say out loud... "Thank you too, Dr. XXX."

and you never will from this company - North MT

When all the MTs hear are negative comments to the point they are afraid to check their email or answer the phone perhaps it is time to try something different. And I don't mean a $50 Walmart card or a stupid mouse pad. How sad that the docs tell us thanks and don't even know us and our own EMPLOYERS cannot even find the words to say "thanks" and mean it.

Unfortunately this is the norm in this company, they obviously never heard of catching more flies with honey than vinegar or realize that a happy employee is a more productive employee. But remember it works both ways. Every weekend it seems we are getting the "critical" and "high backlog" reports and apparently nobody feels motivated to work. They don't get and they never will.

a small thanks would mean so much - from the ccm

My sister just got a job at Taco Bell, she is 42, been a waitress all her life. She received 2 awards this week, one for employee of the week, and one for new on drive-thru. She said, "I am on cloud 9 because someone appreciates me." I told her to ask if they were hiring. I am so sick of doing what I do for such a small amount of pay and cannot even get a GOOD JOB or WE APPRECIATE YOU, or THANKS from my boss. Even when I got 100% on my audit from last month. I never even got an e-mail that I passed the audit, had to search the QA feedback on my own. NICE!

I love being an MT.  But it is truly time to accept the inevitable and move on.   The pay now totally sucks and it's very detrimental to my health.  I can do this, and will.   After the holidays, I am making changes.  I always said I never wanted to go back and work in an office but I do believe that day has finally come!  I have known the reality of what was happening, yet have hung on for the flexiblity (which probably is gone again now too with th ...


Things That Make Me Go Hmm
May 19, 2010

Have ya ever wondered, WHY is it that we get "audited" when we are having really, really bad work days? Why does the "computer randomly chose" (ha!) the most difficult, awful report to review?   My latest audit was on a dictator I had NEVER EVER DONE before, on a brand spanking new account, was 1098 minutes and ASR and ESL!  I got an 84%.  (Hey! as far as I'm concerned that should have been an A+++!!  Least I gave them something that looked like a report.)

Job Pays 30 Cents Per Audio Minute, Geez
Jan 18, 2013

So there is job posted that pays 30 cents an audio minute.  How generous!  You figure depending on the dictator and difficulty of transcript 60 minutes of audio is equal to 3 hours of transcribing.  Granted, most of the time it does not take that long, but just in case for good measure we'll say 3 hours for 60 audio minutes.  Do the math!  30 cents a minute x 60 (1 hr)= 1800.  So another words, if you divide 1800 by 3 you get your hourly rate = 6 buck ...

Offshoring, Things We Can Do.
Sep 14, 2011

First off, I am truly disgusted with our government for allowing offshoring to such a degree that it has taken most of our jobs away.  We have written and complained to no avail.  We do need to do some things on our own too.  I recently went shopping for my son's school supplies.  I read the labels to make sure things were made in America.  Ink pens:  The only ink pens I found made in America were Pilot pens, BIC were made in China.  I bought the Pilot pe ...

We are growing and growing and growing and are ...
