Actually, I thought her post was professional. Do you work at MDI? I doubt it.

In Reply to: You cannot and will not...yet here you are! This is what is libel - (sm)
she can most likely weed out the MTs just by their posts anyway if she's dealt with them at all. She did the right thing to simply state MDI MTs can come to her IF they have concerns. It's great to share info, but not ALL posts are by sister MTs sharing the good word. There are many, many who love to incite drama and there are always 2 sides to every story! Anyone can come on here and claim they are great MTs and do all that is expected of them yet are treated terribly by a company, but that sure doesn't make it the truth. About how many MTs do you think are at MDI? And how many individual MTs are here complaining? Not the same posters using different names but single persons. Do the math and figure out from that how many are unhappy at MDI, and my bet is your percentage will be low. I know of a lot of MTs very happy at MDI with enough work. But then I'm sure the naysayers will just claim those are the favorites or something.

I thought she was professional.
I talked with a recruiter once who talked to me like I was her long lost friend... it was kind of distracting.
I like the way the DR recruiter conducted everything. She was professional and pleasant, but not overly friendly.
You are not a professional and by far, your post was not an opinion
It is apparent that you possibly are one of those MTs that has to jump around from company to company.
This post by a supposed professional is

Doubt it -- that's not what "he/she" said or tried to say in his/her post. NM (means no me

You've just removed all doubt. I hope everyone reads your above post!
I knew you'd eventually hang yourself and remove all doubts.
Now everyone will know that this entire thread has been one lie after another.
There isn't an MT on this board that is paid salary from an MTSO and that includes Landmark.
Nice try. Now get some help.
Anyone who deviates from their professional persona is h*ll to work with.
Cranky, rude, intimating, bossy, just plain mean - these type of people can suck the energy right out of you, distract you from your job and in the end, cost you a lot of money. If a person seems difficult within the first 3 months of a job, I would advise to not stay there. This job has so little people contact that the contact we do have is extraordinarily important for our sense of what the tone is of the company, anxiety or uncertainty, curt responses in e-mails can determine what kind of day you will have ... all because they are inept.
That is what I will have to do. No doubt about it. May I ask who you work for that is getting the
accounts.
Seems to be good and bad in the archives. Rude & running out of work to very professional, great

I have 7 yrs until retirement and I doubt is any MT work SM
will be done in US. I am thinking of other jobs. Instead of some work going to India, or perhaps some other country, most of the work will be done offshore and we in the US will be left little. I'm not hysterical over this, I just consider it a fact of life.
I doubt it. As low as work has been the last 2 weeks, (sm)
several of us will probably get warnings for not making line count this pay period. What amazes me is that they've got an ad out today. Makes me wonder if things are going to get worse before they get better.
I seriously doubt there will ever be a work shortage again (sm)
This company is growing so rapidly, it's hard to keep up. Several new accts in the last few weeks, and they seem to be big ones. True enough, they may fully staff them soon, but as long as you have a backup acct for slow times, there is no problem. You want them to be flexible, but you have to be flexible as well. I have typed on about 6 or 7 different accounts and the most I've EVER run out of work in 2 years is for about an hour. I have learned to take advantage of a few slow hours here and there. I don't foresee it happening again any time soon though.
I doubt anyone that goes to work in Saudi
Especially a woman. It would be like going back to the Dark Ages.
that's what I thought but she was under my post

I doubt seriously it will change much at all. In the meantime, the many MTs who do not work sm
for them are sick of this.
Medquist should provide a board for their people to discuss this.
I know I am not interested, could care less. If you think you are getting something wonderful from this company, fine! It is my guess, it will not turn out to be anything wonderful in the long haul.
If it is wonderful for you, fine. All that do not work for this company though should NOT HAVE TO READ THROUGH THIS JUNK. A whole entire board is full of this junk now and not just on this board but the Main Board too.
Enough is just enough!
Thanks, BlueEyes. Much more well thought out than my post. sm
We can't talk out of both sides of our mouths, on one side complaining about offshoring, while on the other side buying foreign products. 
Love your post. Never thought about it that way. (sm)
Glad to be going to work for a company that has people with positive attitudes like yours and others I see posted here.
At first I thought I had written your post
The same thing happened to me. Yet I continue to try and I ask myself WHY??? I am retired so I've got mine, why should I care about anyone else? I guess cuz that's just the way I am.
The owner of the company I work for says she will never sell but I doubt anyone could
pass up millions if put in front of them. I couldn't, that's for sure. A nice island somewhere with someone to bring me slushy drinks :)
New accounts - I doubt if we will ever run out of work again in our lives!!! Yes can have a backup

Doubt a great # will answer all these questions, but I work

Well said. Never worked for D&L but when I read the "IC" post, that was my thought as well..nm

Great post and very true! I read these today and was amazed that someone's first thought was pay
I agree that circumstances can make loans necessary but the OP sounded more like she uses these on a regular basis. No I'll have to learn to budget for the difference, just oh no, now I need to go to Payday Loans and pay 400% interest.
We have the potential to earn what we need to, although sometimes lately it is harder and harder.
Good for all of you. Wish I had seen these earlier.
p.s. Can someone call and tell my BIL to grow up too?
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

I don't work there, but I thought
your summary sounded quite realistic.
I don't work for his company, but if he really wants to buy up companies, he could save a lot of time by just buying one - MedQuist. Then he could leave the good companies alone, LOL.
I get it now. I thought you were subbing out all your work, and thus just getting like 2 to 3 cpl
profit to run your company! I get it now!! I wasn't looking at it from the perspective of you transcribing it, too, which makes a lot more sense! Thanks for explaining!
I thought you didn't work for MQ????????
MQ is not for the transcriptionist.
MQ is for the company.
I wouldn't get any work done, but the thought of sm
of a food pedal is great..... Hmm, could make a ton of money.....Where's that patent list???? LOL!!! Nice to have fun on this board once in a while.
I thought it was just the ones who work in SHINE sm
that felt we might be losing in this merger. Thanks for letting me know I am not alone!
I did that - and was denied a bonus! There was no work, I thought will
later, typed, typed earlier than my schedule the next day, next day also during my schedule no work, - heck I wasn't going to sit there in front of a computer dialing every 2 minutes for 5 hours.
Then I get a call that I didn't work my shift. I said there was no work. In fact there was no work all week, was lucky to get the lines I did. Bonus denied.
I will never help them out in a pinch again (they called me to do the bonus!) and I will never sign on when they are drowning to do "bonus". People who call me to work extra, and then don't pay me for it, don't get much of my work after that. There are people who pay me for the time I sit and transcribe. I will spend my time at their work, not at a liar's.
Why MQ doesn't get it about "If you have no work - don't expect me to sit there" - is beyond me.
People can't sit up 24 hours a day chasing work to transcribe. It should be on MQ's back to direct work flow so that when they know people are going to be signing on for their DEDICATED and ASSIGNED shift, there is work for them to do. Don't let hogs get in there who are not supposed to be working and type all the time, and then there is no work for people who are signing on for their schedules.
And there should be a legit hourly wage set in stone not by some formula, that pays an MT to "sit there and wait."
I thought Transcend did not offshore work.

I thought it made a difference to work
but unless you are working for the hospital it doesn't matter, you still get what they want you to have. I asked my last supervisor if they get psych work and was told they did but she saved them for another MT who liked them. The work I would get would be one-minute mush mouths. It sometimes took 20 minutes to complete one. That's the way it stayed until I finally left. I think that's an MT service thing because when I worked for the hospital, I typed whatever was next in line, no cherry-picking and no favoritism.
Sorry to hear that is happening to you. Hopefully, things get better either through communicating the problem or by getting a better job situation.
I usually work both jobs until I determine that the new job is really all I thought it would be. nm
And slaves thought it was great if they got to work
x
But I thought all Transcend employees had to work
That doesn't make sense. I could see that a lot of domestic MTs don't want to work 3rd shift and they need the coverage, but if all employees have to work at least 1 weekend day, there isn't much dictation over here on 3rd shift except for the occasional stats. It would seem they wouldn't have enough work to keep the overseas MTs going. I can't see an overseas service staying in business when they're only getting a few stats on each account for a couple hours on the weekend.
LOL. I read too fast and thought you were contacting her about porn work. nm

not anonymous - I do work for Keystrokes, I thought I made that clear
I do work for them, it is hard not to trust anymore but yes, I do work for Keystrokes, I thought I made that clear. The other poster seemed cynical. I understand that. I love working for Keystrokes. it is an honest company. After all the other companies I have been with it is refreshing!
I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company. I work days (and some nights) with this company. I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night. Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working. Do you have to have set hours at your company #2? Thanks for the suggestion.
Well you are less than professional. Act like
one if you want a professional response. I am not who responded in the post you just responded to but you certainly are not acting like a professional.
That was a very professional
It is professional to do this
I believe you always should leave a company on good terms. Of course, on the other hand, if work is super low and they wouldn't feel the pinch if you left, I think less than 2 weeks would work. I had to do this at my last job. I gave them a week's notice because I just could not afford to work part time at a company where I was promised full time.
Professional Transcriptions
From Florida, any info from anyone on this company?
focus is not professional
I also work for Focus Infomatics, I mean worked. I have been working for months. They payvery poorly 6.5 cents per line. as compared to other companies, that is very low. Also they trick you into thinking it is a transcription job, then they tell you when you are trained, that you are going to be doing editing, without giving you a choice. I am very disappointed with them. I also thought they were good in the beginning. They are not very professional. I would not recommend this company to anyone who is looking for transcription work.
I would think you would know, pay should never be discussed with anyone - not very professional.

I am not your honey...please be more professional (nm)
