This good Christian company doesn't pay their MTs. nm
No, they aren't that good....
Not from my experience anyway. Maybe they have really good American QA. I TRIED to QA some of their work for a very short time and just could not do it. It was not QA, it was re-do.
Maybe you just aren't good enough
Almost 0.06 VR, 0.095 total type.
Maybe your work quality rates you with the bottom feeders. I've been there a few weeks and got hired on with these numbers.
So you aren't that good are you? You are blaming your
lack of performance on an Andrews grad? Give me a break. I do QA and I have seen graduates from many schools and while the Andrews grads CAN be impressive, it is just not Andrews. A good MT will make it work no matter what school they came from. Andrews does give them an edge because Andrews will not take just anyone in their program.
Quit bellyaching and look in the mirror. Andrews grads may be given chances based on their school but remember (and I don't expect you to) that they have to pass tests to get accepted for a position and they have to work hard to keep their jobs also.
Basically what it comes down to is are you willing to work hard and try and excel and if you are fortunate enough to get hired, you are the one who is judged based on what YOU do.
Just because the Andrews grad might have chosen to quit a job, I am sure she had reasons for that just like anyone who chooses to do so.
Quit blaming it on the school they came from. Own up to your own shortcomings and work on them and you will see that what school you came from makes no difference ONCE you get into the market...it's what you choose to do with what you learned in your school, how you apply yourself and good common sense that help any MT in the industry.
Anyone who brags on their QA scores, good for them! She was proud and what is wrong with that? You would too IF you had the scores.
I have seen work from MTs from different schools and some have to work harder but many of the students do apply themselves and will do well eventually but not with an attitude like yours. You are the one who wants a free ride without applying yourself.
My reply to you is to grow up and don't worry about what someone else does...worry about what you do and try to better yourself just like the Andrews student is trying to better herself. It can be done! I'm tired of people who absolutely refuse to look in the mirror and see the problem.
GOOD MTs aren't ... but there are tons of crappy ones
Finding one that is actually GOOD in this business? nearly impossible. I do editing and QA (and have been an MT for 22 years) and I see nothing but horrid work day in and day out.
If you aren't management & you're making good
money on VR, then why are you so desperate to attack those who don't want to do VR & try to shove it down their throats? A fellow MT wouldn't do that. They'd simply say they like it & how much they make rather than having a meltdown over other MTs not being thrilled about the switch....
What does Christian have to do with a business? nm
x
They are supposedly a Christian organization
sss
Christian owed Transcription Co.
Is there a Christian-based transcription Company? In speaking with another MT, she mentioned this, but could not remember the name of the company. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS A BUNCH
Christian-based company
The sad thing is, some Christians will use their so called Christianity to make themselves more trustworthy then they are.
Christian MT board, by chance?
I had a link to a site of this nature from a very long time ago. Since I'm looking around I decided to check it out, thinking it's an MTSO, or a listing of several who are faith-based, etc. I signed up for the thing and got a reply asking me if I'm a Christian, if I have experience or not, that type of thing. That's when I realized they must not be an MTSO, but signed up anyway, in hopes of looking for other sources for jobs.
While I approve of their no bashing policy, a couple of my closest friends are Jewish, so I have a great deal of respect for their religion (and of course the fact that Israel is a huge ally of the US).
It didn't dawn on me until I read the post about no Jews here (for that site, not this one). That's not cool. My friends aren't militant, and would just roll their eyes over it. Regardless, I have no idea why they'd do this.
Is this the site discussed here? Maybe there are more of them. ??
Do you think all the headers and footers aren't getting counted? Lots of places aren't giving

My husband is a Christian minister - I write -Christmas-
I find no offense at all with Xmas. If you do your research you will find this is true.
From time to time those paper checks aren't good!
nm
yes you can claim all that as SE.
x
Yes, they do. They claim only 15%. nm
xxx
Could be, just like you claim to be an MT. nm
xxxxxxx
This claim in your post is exactly why
It is dangerous to both the employee (MT) and the company (MTSO).
Both were burned here by someone who apparently is completely anonymous to either or at least hiding like the loser they are.
Yes and it was not a claim..have proof. Thanks

How do I make a claim at the BBB? nm
x
They claim to have been in biz since 1992. nm
,,
They claim they do this out of necessity...
as well as for efficiency because they can't handle all of the required work. I'm curious, though, as to what they pay the Indian MTs. If the pay is extremely low (usually 1 to 2 cpl in India), that says it's mostly for the profit margin. I still have yet to see a company that pays an Indian, Pakistani, or Philippian MT more than that or equivocal to an American MT. It's all about the profit margin.
how much of your utilities have you been able to claim?
My tax advisor told me I could only claim the amount of utilities that equaled my office space. For example, my office space I claim is 20% of my house, so I could only claim 20% of my utilities. Anyone else have this experience? Anything I can do differently as an IC? I do deduct the total expense of internet and phone since I am required to have these for work...
Yes it is true and if you were there 2 years ago as you claim
as well as the "not so flattering" picture of her that was in the company email newsletter at around the same time. Nice try though.
BBB - I think it costs $9.50 to make a claim now
Check the BBB internet site.
If told to do it but not claim it, that is PERMISSION, nm
nm
So if you have a medical claim, the insurance - sm
doesn't pay anything until you've forked out the first $2,000? That's appalling!
They claim it is only 15%, but it is more like 60% offshore work.
The offshore swine get preferential treatment over the US transcriptionists. The screen shows there is work to do and suddenly everything is gone but the bad dictators, and I do not mean 10 jobs, I am talking at least 45 jobs at one time off my accounts just disappeared. I thought about changing my name to hari skrishna for a while so I could get some work, but found another job instead.
You said they claim easy dictators..
Are they easy with a significant amount of repetitiveness? If there isn't...and all they do is talk then as an IC, 7 cents is not gonna pay the rent. If the doc repeats things over and over...then you have a chance.
I had an ESL once who others wouldn't do. However, once I figured him out I found that he repeated 90% of the reports so it was great.
It also depends on platform. If it's in MS Word with an FTP site...great. If they use something like Emdat but don't have the demos and base information correct then your line count goes even lower. Shop wisely....
TO THE ABOVE POST - IF YOU CLAIM TO BE SPEAKING TRUTH - SM
THEN GO AHEAD AND MENTION NAMES OF MANAGEMENT THAT LET THESE THINGS GO ON! WHAT DOCTORS AT WHAT HOSPITAL GOT FED UP WITH WHAT ACCOUNT AND ONLY GAVE OVERFLOW!?!?!? YOU ARE SO FULL OF CRAP! I AM A SINGLE PERSON AND I AM NOT A FAVORITE OR A CHERRYPICKER OF THE COMPANY. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME NAMES TO BACK UP YOUR "TRUTH" I SUGGEST YOU SPIT IT OUT. BECAUSE OTHER THAN THAT, YOU ARE FULL OF CRAP!
Can you file a work comp claim
If you are an employee, you can file a worker's compensation claim, and the company has to follow the rules of the state the insurance company would consider jurisdiction. As a former workers' compensation claim handler, MQ is legally bound to have your claim handled wihtout any issues. If you have issues you have the right to go to the state workers' compensation board for assistance.
You made the claim by making your headline say
that is a claim and could potential be called slander. Hope you have an attorny on retainer.
you said ... I am not making any claims. ..... You made a specific claim that JLG was dishonest. I'm more inclined to believe you can't live up to the owner's standards.
I just find it amusing when MTs claim to assist others
If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it.
They claim "it is so much faster than Spheris".

How very interesting that people who claim NOT to be management seem to know all this is going on?
Out of the 196 e-mails they sent last month with account updates, endless pleas for help until they get new people in place, etc., there was not any real company info. I have been there 3 years and am currently looking to leave. They are hands down the rudest group of people I have ever worked with, in or out of this business. I have had MANY e-mails go unanswered, you are not allowed to IM but they send endless messages about all the work to be done while I am TRYING to work, and forget about ever reaching them on the phone should you need to. I work on numerous accounts that switch back and forth all day long. They want you to shut up and type and will contact you when THEY need something. Let me also add they have tons of ESL docs and very bad dictators in general. The only thing good is that the pay is on time.
I thought statutory could claim those same deductions? NM
The same way cars that claim to be "made in America"
Some people just take a shred of truth, and spread it really really thin. But their lies should be exposed every time someone gets a chance.
It's not BS as you claim. They told me they do not hire PT. I have tried 3 times in 3 months.
I cannot work FT as I have a job at a hospital but they will not budge on saying no PT. I have read all your posts as I have been researching companies and it seems like you think you know more about KS than you do. You post something bad about every KS post but you don't give details, so I think you are BS.
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

You aren't the only one, believe me. NM

Aren't they the ones who are
supposedly looking into buying Heartland?
aren't they all going to be
under regional supervisors within a year??? If you can get yourself under the northeast regional supervisor, do it. She's great.
Oh MY aren't you a gas
Why would you care. Bitter? I got a great job by not being hired by them with innumerable benefits and assigned to a nice a/c with great potential.
Don't get my way - do you mean expecting to be paid on time is being bitter and spoiled? What planet do you come from? LOL
And yes SD is said - it's not my fault they auto cap it - boy do you have issues!!!! sd is standard shorthand for said my friend. can't imagine even noticing something like that.
Uh, no. They aren't doing that
The letter I received a few months ago when I cancelled my membership said something quite different. It had nothing to do with keeping the jobs US based. It was all about quality healthcare documentation which is important; don't get me wrong there. However, there was NOTHING in there stating anything about keeping this work here at all. Instead it was all about the global marketplace and a cop-out.
I personally feel that the bulk of the healthcare industry knows cheaper doesn't necessarily mean better or even close to what is expected. I don't think all of the jobs are going to disappear.
I have written, called and probably annoyed my senator and any other government official in my state about outsourcing private healthcare information. India, for example, does not have stringent laws about private information like we do.
We do have a personal responsibility though. I have brought this up on other boards, but we need to ask our healthcare providers if their back office is handled here. If not, choose another provider if possible. Of course avoiding purchase of everything that comes from somewhere else is virtually impossible, but there are lots of other things. This may also sound mean, but if I get on the phone with customer service somewhere and realize the person I am speaking with is offshore, I have my call transferred. Nothing against the person, but I am not discussing my personal account information with someone who is not 100% required by law to protect that information. Period. If enough people take the intiative (not saying in this particular way), the gov't and other organizations won't have a choice but to listen.
Outsourcing globally is not the trend right now. I really think pulling together can stop it from becoming so.
Aren't they like about $40,000 ???
My car's OLD - only kind I can afford.
And just because you aren't a fan sm
doesn't mean it is a bad company for everyone.
Aren't we all?

Now I know you aren't exp'd - there is SM
no earthy reason to BUY A PDR to look up drugs. Caught again.
They aren't even in the US - ya think?? *-D) nm

You REALLY ARE NEW aren't you?
Snort... How naive.
Look, the really sad thing is that work has really picked up at TT and if whomever the fool is that decided to file this lawsuit had just waited a bit, things on MT Stars would have died down. Have you seen any negative postings about TT recently? No, because there is WORK!!
If you let your anger rule your head, you will show yourself for the fool that you are.
Sad, truly sad....
Obviously, you aren't one of them...
If you had the slightest legal knowledge, you would know that any person can file a lawsuit against anyone -- the claims don't have to be true. Again, enjoy your Law 101 class.
