Totally worthless lousy CPs - SteamyMT
Posted: Jul 21, 2011
It would be so HELPFUL if the CPs were in any kind of uniform order with divided sections, maybe, so you would know where to look for the same info from CP to CP.
lousy CPs - got that right

I just wish they followed one rule, either AAMT, JCAHO, or MQ guidelines and not this contradictory crap. I also love it when they list all 3 in the CP. Well, which one do you use?
I am so tired of the d*@m excuses all the time. I send emails to my CCM they never get answered, its not like they are not important, they are not stupid worthless questions. I don't think we got decent training so of course we have questions, so then I have to email her boss to get an answer, but the excuse is "well she has 150 people to supervise so she's very busy." Well that's not my problem she took that position she should d#@m well answer her emails! Is there a place in ...
I have never wanted to be fired so badly in my life. I have worked in some real feces factories in my day, but this one beats them all. How on earth do they expect any MLS to care about any of these reports if they aren't going to pay us a decent wage? I hope the stock crashes. If the rest of the company is managed as poorly as the transcription division, it's only a matter of time until it does. ...
this is the second time my check was waaaay low than what I usually receive. I don't know what is going on. I know with each payperiod I decided to spend a considerable amount of time looking up old reports because they cut too much into my production. I thought last payperiod I maybe did it 3 times. I have decided to only use it once or none at all.when I double check to make sure none are going to QA it looks correct as it says zero submission rate. ...
Just wanted to say that I just looked at my bank account as I got pad yesterday. What a nightmare. I will have a horrible weekend now because of that. Last year I made $13,000 for the year with MT, down from $26,000 the year before, and down from $40,000 back in the good old days. My income for this year will probably go before $13,000 for my taxes. My check was $682 for 2 weeks and that was with having work most of the time. And they have not taken out for me ...
resign yourself to getting minimum wage or close for that pay period, especially when said dictator dictates a long string of reports and you seem to get them ALL? Ugh. You don't know how bad I just want to QUIT right this second. ...
until they were to the point of tears or even in tears. I have had the same dictator over and over for the last 1/1-2 hours who sounds like she has the microphone in her mouth. I don't know how much more I can take of this. Unfortunately, the next account I know I have to go into is back-to-back of the same ESL who hasn't mastered the English language and dictates at the speed of light. Sorry, just had to vent. I'm just about ready to pull my hair out ...
If someone has lousy credit, why would this matter for an MT position? Maybe there are extenuating circumstances why their credit isn't good, like loss of previous job, death in the family or other emergencies. ...
Why do we get berated when the doctor is known to be a mumbler and you know he knows what he is doing? This guy CONSTANTLY has blanks in his reports, no accent, no excuse. He's just lazy and doesn't care. I wish there was a way of issuing fines for these doctors when they get these many blanks in their reports. You'd think it would be some sort of legal issue since the reports are basically incomplete. Just a thought. ...
Okay, I'm totally confused now. I received an email this morning saying the employee contributions were wrong, sorry for the concern or inconvience this caused. I go to the benefits site, as suggested, and see they are now INCREASED to $99 biweekly for regular medical coverage instead of the initally posted cost of $69 biweekly. If I was concerned then, what am I now? Someone mentioned below the cost was $160 per month. What the heck? Are Transcend e ...
I am currently doing a dictation by a doctor who normally is not that bad, but today he is coughing, hacking, sneezing, and sniffling to the point that he is nearly impossible to understand. Doc, if you're that sick, you need to stay home and not make your patients any sicker. Doesn't do me any good either having to try to make out what you're saying. 'Nuff said. ...
I was supposed to have an interview with a company today at 2:00 p.m. I sent in my work environment information prior to the interview. A few minutes before the interview, they told me I needed to buy a lower version of Word and they would re-schedule my interview. I wrote back and told them thank you. These companies are getting free office space from us and they pay us practically nothing! They speak to us as if we were schlumps! With all of ...
For NJA, will someone please explain to me where I post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule excused, as well as where to post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule PTO. I believe they are 2 different sites.
TIA ...
My net pay didn't even hit 20K this year! And then I see that MM is advertising for more MT's, and I haven't had a full day in over 2 weeks? What is really going on here?
Okay, done venting now. Thanks for listening! ...
So far, I cannot even make 450, which is where their incentive begins. Is the 600 a bunch of hooey/propaganda, or do people actually achieve that? I am trying to keep an open mind, but I have to say I hate it so far. It doesn't punctuate, doesn't list, totally time consuming to fix everything and for 4 cpl. :( ...
Last night was my first night as a Nuance employee--VR editor. No TMT online for any questions I may have. I felt like I was pounding out the reports as quick as I could.......Kept looking at my production. Are you kidding? Half way through my shift, I was about ready to cry. At the end of my shift? I figured I made 8.62/hr last night. Degrading? Oh you bet. I have 20 years experience as an MT and manager, and I am lowering myself to this to fill someone else's fat pockets? I will ...
So depressing...by slowing down to a snail's pace by watching every comma, paragraph break and dash so that I can pass audits, I'm now taking almost a $400/month pay cut. Wonder if I would make more on unemployment??? This job is now laughable (and I'm sure there is a misplaced comma somewhere in this post!). ...
I heard a friend talk about "going Galt," so I checked it out on Google. It basically means I'm not giving away my intellect anymore for a "higher paying" job, which also means more in taxes.
So, here's how I'm "going Galt." I'm quitting the MT biz and going to work in the restaurant industry.
I feel like I'm being pimped out by the MTSO. About 3 years ago I was doing 11 cents on the GROSS line count and making just under 50k a year. Now I'm at about 8 ...
get it repaired? I've Googled and cannot find anything. Searched archives here but cannot find anything. Second question is does any company take them to refurbish, giving you a small amount for it? I hate to just throw the darn thing away without trying to do something with it. TIA.
...
Can anyone tell me where I can find the instructions in order to add a correction to my time card please? I have totally botched up my timecard in the last couple of days so for the past 2 days I have 64 hours! I have clicked and clicked on every button there and cannot for the life of me see where I would make a correction entry. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ...
Well, they are still at it. Totally Transcription in Missouri is still not paying people because of ???? They owe their people up to 90 days of pay. Blamed it on the bookkeeper. etc. They must have had a great Christmas last year, no one got paid except them I guess.
DO NOT DEAL WITH TOTALLY - YOU WILL SUPPORT THEIR LIFESTYLE AND RUIN YOURS.
LET'S PUT THEM ON THE RED FLAG LIST SO NO ONE WILL ADVERTISE FOR THEM.
...
a tone of people and now they have an ad on the other website hiring MTs? What the crap is up? They are so mismanaged it is pathetic! Stupid, stupid, stupid. ...
Thank you all for answering my questions lately. I'm definitely at a crossroads with where I'm going. I have an Associates Degree in medical transcription, have completed two A&P classes, two medical terminology classes, a pharmacology class, etc. and have worked as a transcriptionist for two decades. I am now looking at either going to my local community college and adding on to my degree with a certificate program, or just recently I have considered Western Gove ...
Totally without a job now. I have always had 2 jobs but the way DTS pays line rate based on biweekly production, there was no way to keep a second job or get 7.21 cpl from DTS.
I was told EVERYBODY was getting laid off on the hospital account on SpeechMotion... not sure if it was 100% truth or not. ...
Can anyone give me insight as to what I may be doing wrong here? I applied to a large company as an IC for evening shift. I passed the first interview, took the test and was told I scored very high and the QA score on the testing was 99.9%. I have 20 years experience. I have done straight transcription (250 plus lines per hour) and voice recognition (400 plus lines per hour) and was willing to do either one, was willing to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening shifts.& ...
.....what is my reward? Being paid minimum wage then getting fired for not being "productive" enough! Never mind the fact that a huge portion of the docs I typed were difficult ESLs or mushmouthed docs who would not open their mouths for the life of them! Never mind that I that I had to track down doctors that I was unfamiliar with and that the docs did not spell to make sure the correct ones got a copy. Never mind the fact that I actually cared enough ...
