Apparently people are
finding jobs, no problem. I have been going to websites of MT companies, getting the E-mail address of HR, and sending my resume. If there is an on-site test, I go ahead and take that. I wouldn't just post my resume, need to actively apply, I think.
Apparently they want to get rid of people because they certainly knew this would be a problem for a
lot of people. They apparently are needing to trim their work force as well as QA because they have made their jobs almost impossible for them. Go figure.
All it takes is treating people decently and with respect.

Oops..sorry..Apparently, it's not Transcend's fault, it's the hospitals. Apparently, they d
that we were being overpaid so they changed the way our lines are counted. We will no longer get paid for footers, headers etc,and who knows what else they took out, although we still have to make sure they are all correct and make the appropriate changes and put in information. 
Takes a lot more than that to be a good company
NM
Never mind..See msg below. Apparently the line counts are changing with my company
and I probably wont be doubling anything anymore. Moving on.
Need a company that takes out taxes and has insurance
I can't be an independent contractor because my husband is self employed. One of us needs to pay for taxes and insurance. Anybody know of some companies that do this that I could check out?
Correct. My company takes random
reports for so many lines. It is not judged on a report by report basis.
I'm curious if this is the same company who takes like 30-45 days to pay
and it's lower pay. I could have it confused but last year I was going to contract with a company with that name or similar but decided against it when I read the contract about the pay schedule.
your company takes overflow or has a primary account
I really have no idea if this applies to your current situation, but when I worked at a hospital and a large MTSO took our overflow, some of the girls I worked with had no qualms about leaving (or perhaps assigning, can't really remember now) the horrible doctors to the MTSO. We had a monitor that showed all the jobs waiting in queue, and they would (or could, anyway) go down the list assigning themselves the good ones, thereby leaving the bad ones to the MTSO. I worked radiology and everything was in-house for that, but I would watch the acute care ladies do this.
Hey, don't feel bad, many times it takes days for the company to ,,,,,sm
look through all the resumes and tests they receive, just believe in yourself, keep positive, keep applying to other good prospects, and it will happen for you. Good Luck!!
I know a company that takes work off edit and doesn't pass
p
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,
:+
People would rather the company be (sm)
2 days behind in their work to insure work for all. Doesn't work that way.
Company no, people yes
I don't know about the company itself, but I do know personally people who work there and they are just the kindest, nicest people you'd ever want to work with and for. No, I don't work there, mainly because there are no openings in what I do, but you shouldn't hesitate in applying.
How many people (and for what company) (sm)
actually keep a manual log of all jobs you do?
Perhaps they are the only MT's at the company. How many people
@!&
I liked the people who ran the company
General info needed, such as their general pay rates, flexibility in schedules, direct deposit, pay on time, and anything else that may be helpful.
My pay rate was 7 cpl for an easy ortho acct. I'm guessing it could range between 7 and 8 cpl, but ask and I'm sure you will get an answer. Flexibility wise, they want their work back within the agreed TAT. No direct deposit was available and I don't remember having a late pay. They give you your work and leave you alone, which is good if you don't like to be hounded. I had to give them up because of other commitments, and now work outside the house, but wouldn't hesitate to work for them again if it weren't for me working away from home.
I know 3 people in the company
the owner, Kristal and my immediate boss. I know of no others who work there- I was told when you assume it is usually wrong and this is what has happened with my being taken for an owner?/boss?/higher up? - as far as stealing, have no knowledge of things going on. It is strange the posters seem to have so much more information than me. I do my work, keep my nose to the grindstone and stay out of other's business. I happen to love my job- even after my retirement in a few months I still hope to work there. Prayers going up.
That is exactly how quick this company can get people going.
This company truely is one of the best. I feel like I am honestly part of a great family!
I see people asking what the best company is, so I am going to turn the tables here. What would sm
a company be the best. What type of rate would you want realistically? Benefits? IC or employee? Direct deposit important? What pay schedule - weekly, every other Friday, 1st and 15th, once a month? What makes you stay at a company? What makes you leave? Equipment? Training? QA? Etc???
Can someone tell me what ATS stands for for the transcription company that people have
talked about.
So, Yes, they were once OmniMed, meaning the same people. Thought so! BAD company! x

Yes, they are a decent company. Different personalites, overall good people. nm

in case you were not aware, some people will not work for a company who
outsources overseas. precyse does this quite heavily.
even though this board has 'flip-flopped' and now agrees with this practice, it is still driving our rates way down and has damaged our trust.
I have done two reports on individuals working with homeland security just this past week...hmmm, I wonder if they realize how vulnerable they would be having their 'vital information' shipped overseas for ANYONE to see. bet if they have a choice, their work is done here, and WHY WOULD THAT BE? Why would these people be more important than we are?
Proscript is a wonderful company, great people. nm

Second the motion.. Nice people.. Best company I have worked for.
They really care about their employees and it shows..
A company full of people on a power trip!
Absolutely correct, as well as the fact that most people who move up in that company are totally unqualified butt-kissers.
Yep.
What people are saying about Keystrokes is not hype like another company posted, this is really how
You cannot go wrong. They are as honest as the day is long.
They won't. It is common for a company to be bashed into the ground once it seems people are hap
I knew it was going to happen once I saw the positive posts about Keystrokes. Some people obviously get sick thrills from stirring the pot.
I hope they're happy now. I am sure Keystrokes will miss out on some great MTs because they won't apply due to the posts that have been put the last few days.
Can't anyone accept that there really is a good company out there?
TO PEOPLE WHO E MAILED ME FOR MY COMPANY (INCLUDING THE SOLICITOR)
I am sorry I can not state my company. They are very small, only about 150 MTs, and they are not hiring right now. I did see them post twice when I was looking, though. Watch for the small U.S. Only job posts here on MT Stars.
To the solicitor from Infraware Platforms, I am in the MT business, not the IT business. I very nearly did give out the name of my company, and now I am glad I did not!
I am not her spokesperson just happy with the company I work for and upset that people can be so sm
misleading because the fit was not good for them.
If you have been on these boards a while, you would know that she always posts her name. I emailed her today to tell her what was happening on here, and the response I got back was she does not even look on here as it is too upsetting and has promised herself not to come and look. She has too much else to do with her time and defending herself and her company is always misinterpreted. She basically told me I should spend more time working or with my family than spending time on this soap opera. It is better to not care and let people form their own opinions. Everyone takes the postings with a grain of salt anyway. I think it is sad that she has to be so tough-skinned.
Do tell. I find it interesting in what some people like and dislike in a company. Could you share
more about your experience...
Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

Probably some people will move on and the company saves on benefit pkgs. (sm)
Telling us work is coming in at some time in the future is fine, but right now we have lost more than we have gained and like you said, if we speed up we will run out quicker. Not to mention that we will all have to work a little harder in order to make nearly the same as we did before. Panic will make our fingers work even faster.
Remember the memo we got about over-editing. Bet your butt we won't be over editing in the future. If this ISR is so good, it shouldn't need too much now should it?
I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm
good benefits. The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve. Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked. If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary. Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive. I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available. That is just my little thing, I guess. I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.
Hope this helps.
I agree also. Keystrokes is a wonderful company with very, very nice and helpful people. I would
like much more work, at least 12,000 lines each pay period.
Don't worry. Next week, the bitter people will move on to attacking another company. It is just
you watch this board, you will see a pattern. One a week. Have to shred the reputations of good companies to bits just to feel good about being unhappy in general. I wonder sometimes if these people job hop constantly, even work at all, or work for the company they are bashing. Maybe it's just sick fun for those with no outside lives :)
By chance, are these people calling "non-Americans" I worked for a company
who shall remain nameless but their supervisors were in India and would IM me constantly to do a STAT. Even though, I would try tellin them I was not working that day or that I was going somewhere. They continued to ask. It was bizarre. I kept think, what part of English DONT you understand..NO..I thought meant the same everywhere. They are just the only poeple I have dealt with that just doesnt comprehend rejection of any sort, but that's just me.
FN is a great company full of wonderful people who treat you with respect. SM.
But they only want to pay 4.5 cpl for SR, 5.5 for heme/onc. Can you believe that? Also, workload has been very, very low for a very long time.
I didn't take the posts as trashing the company, just people venting about no work. sm
I used to work for TT, and yes, they are wonderful people -- very caring and supportive -- but in order to get my lines in, I had to be VERY flexible, working on my days off, during times I wasn't scheduled, etc., and it gets old pretty quickly. I personally didn't care for the e-mails calling me sweetie or telling me you rock, but that's just me. I just want to be paid well and have plentiful work. I do not know if they just overhire or what happens, but I finally left because I couldn't stand the feast or famine work flow there.
Apparently not
I asked this same question a short time ago and no one answered. I switched from a major player to a smaller comany for that very reason, now THEY are switching to a platform. The platforms seem to provide the benefit to the MTSO, not to the transcriptionist, in my experience. Line counts drop, no more pay for headers/footers, can't use your own AutoText. It's not that I'm an old dog unwilling to change with the times, I just don't appreciate being taken advantage of.
Uh, apparently someone else did it for me. nm

Apparently you did, and you need one!
The last company I worked for their IT department came in on my computer and changed the IP configuration on my router so bad I had to get a new one. They shadowed in so there was nothing I could do while they were doing it. Not to mention not a single one of them could speak English and only communicated through IM - I left. To say that a high turnover rate means bad MTs is ridiculous. There are a lot of things we discover once working for a company and some of us do not feel the need to accept those things so leave.
Apparently, since many of us
work at home and cannot be present in the office for a big warm and fuzzy ''group hug'' we feel entitled to other ''stuff'' in compensation?
Group e-mails do very little for me, by way of validation. What does mean something to me is a personal e-mail if/when I do something meritorious, above and beyond, to deserve it. If I really push beyond my contractual obligation to help clear a backlog, work on my days off at the boss's request, do a spectacular job on a very difficult dictation and get an ''attagirl'' from QA - on those occasions, I appreciate being commended or thanked. But a generic e-mail thanking me for not calling in sick all the time, being dependable, working the days I have agreed to work, being as accurate as I am expected to be really means nothing to me. This just reminds me of the ''every kid gets a trophy'' theory we operate under nowadays. If you want a reward, do something extra to deserve it!
Well, apparently
The 5 or so supposedly separate posters in this thread who weren't paid are saying they believe they were hired to just do a frenzied clean-up over an overflow accoount and then not paid. I think that's why a couple of them have pointed out overflow work.
I think...?
I'm kind of lost in this thread and trying to keep it clear in my muddled brain while I read the posts, lol!
Apparently! nm

Apparently....
you are too immature to understand the concept or have never wanted for anything. Not everyone is in your shoes. Some MTs wear Guccis, others hand-me downs. Same job should equate to equal pay for all MTs who do the same type of work. It doesn't always. Without complaints, you don't get anywhere. You have no need to complain, apparently. Everyone has different needs. An MT who is single with very few bills may make a wonderful living at $16 an hour. A single parent MT, trying to support 3 or 4 kids at .07 cpl does not find it so easy. Gag and then puke!
You bet it does. Apparently, you have been out of the loop sm
for a long time. Go work in a hospital office and see the brown nosers there. How about an insurance company? All sorts there. Better yet, go to a bank. How about some of the major corporate offices? They kiss butt all the time and even do "other things" to get to the top. Get real and get used to it. This is life. I like to come to this board and see your "holier than thou" and "poor me" attitudes and make total idiots of yourselves. It makes for great entertainment. I definitely would NOT want to work alongside the likes of you. No wonder your job didn't work out. Nobody likes catty transcriptionists. Pull in your claws.
Well apparently you don't have much work lately
LOL
I just went there and apparently all the posts have
