Because now he has created the LARGEST DEFICIT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. By the time he's done, there will be no US - we'll be a satellite branch of China or Japan.

What do you mean "a surplus." If he left such a surplus, how come our deficit isn't lower?

So did Clinton. nm

Clinton
Amen and healthcare became royally messed up since Hillary. The game has just gone on since with constant changes and rules insurance against doctor, etc. I was there then too and why I work at home.
Is this company in clinton township?

NAFTA was ratified in 1993 under Clinton. sm
Offshoring has bipartisan support in the Senate. It is no one party's fault. Please inform yourself.
Actually that was clinton who started that ball a rolling.
Like Bill Clinton read the big bible...
he used to tote around on Sunday photo ops!
Clinton ignored bombings on US by terrorists. BTW, revenues were counted twice, SM
SS was counted twice, put in the general fund. It all looks good on paper. I dont want to debate this with you, I am bored with this and tired of repeating myself. Clinton pulled troops out Somalia, which Bin Laden himself said is why he knew America was weak. To say things in sound bites does not do history justice, and leads to untruths.
You obviously want to blame Bush for everything, even outsourcing. No history lesson will change your mind.
The new guy is the president and the COO (not CEO). Who was sm
the prior COO?
So, who is the new president now?

VR couldn't take us down, but now the president is going to.
I wish I wouldn't have came on here today, now I have one more thing to worry about in this time of woes with the economy. This really sucks.
Voice recognition couldn't take over, we may have lost a few jobs, but now the president is going to dictate how the transcription gets done. He is the only one who will be left with a job, or should I say jobs. He is the jack of all trades now. Cars, banks, now transcription!
I really feel bad for the millions of women, yes women as this is mainly a women oriented business. I have only met about 3 males who actually did transcribing in the past 25 years of this career. So this is also a discrimination against women, the many women that were able to make better than minimum wage and stay home with their kids during their early years will now have to go find who knows what, the one only opening at Walmart to try to support her family.
This just makes me sick. Why do we need to have a shortened medical record made by templates just because the president thinks it will be better.
I can only say I hope he legalizes prostitution before he gets rid of transcription. Because this may be the only option left, (only joking, hope it doesn't come to this point).
Yeah this free insurance sounds real great. At least while we are sitting at home wondering what to do we can try to break a leg or an arm just to get into that wonderful hospital setting where we can have room and board and 3 squares a day.
We should all start a petition or write to the white house, calling this discrimination, that's the only thing that gets attention in this country. Discrimination against this mainly women oriented industry and their children.
I can only pray that this doesn't happen. God bless us all who do this grueling job.
OK, maybe I'll run for president
Thanks for your suggestions. All women on the verge of turning 50 are delighted at the prospect of changing careers - and so are the employers to hire them.
I haven't been in this profession very long - less than 10 years. So I DO have other work experience. Competing with girls half my age in the current job market is such a thrilling prospect, I'll get right on it. My skills with addressographs, mimeograph machines, hand-kept books, selectric typewriters, etc. are in SUCH demand I know I'll blow past those whippersnappers like a blazing comet! After all, I've forgotten more software programs than they know, because I was all about computers before they were cool!
Email was from the president/CEO, dated 6/19. nm
Email for Proveros President
At least the president of the company must have some class. This is an email I just received from him:
Hi Marla -
Your numbers are correct. I am so sorry!! I am sending you another check today via FedEx for the full $67.58. Please keep the first check for $39.00 in return for your frustration and time.
I will have the second tracking number sent as well.
Thanks for all your time and again our sincerest apologies.
Steve
What do you mean the president is going to dictate how transcription gets done?
I don't think the President has any feelings whatsoever in how transcription gets done. His idea is to go to EMR - that has nothing to do with not having transcription - that has to do with the way the transcription is stored - electronically, not paper.
I worked for a hospital that has had EMR for years now and believe me, we had more transcription waiting on us every day than we could possibly do.
I got the same email from the president of AAMT today but like
you say, a day late, a dollar short. I think they would best serve themselves by staying away from the Heartland employees. I personally do not know how they can hold their heads up with what has happened to our industry. I believe in global economy, but what they did was wash us right out of it.
Yes, it's true. The CEO and President and everyone who works in the office all came from L&H.
Also many of their QA staff and MTs.
Like becoming President? I don't follow your line of thinking.

I know that payday is on the 15th, but since the 16th is President's Day, sm
do you think we will be paid on Friday like we were last payday? This is only my 2nd payday, so I was just curious. If I have to wait until the 17th, then so be it. I don't want to be lectured by those I have seen about people expecting to be pair early. As I said, it happened before, and I just wondered. Since it is getting late and I have not yet received an email with my paycheck stub, it is looking like probably not.
Thanks!
I'm just curious -- where do you bank that is open on President's Day? sm
I mean no harm -- I am just truly curious. I just moved to the Denver area from Kansas, and there is a chain of banks here that is open on Sunday, which was a surprise to me just with that. I didn't know that there were banks that were open on holidays too -- that would be great! Well, sorta great ... I'd get my deposits anytime, but then again my checks would come bouncing an anytime too ... oops! LOL
I haven't worked at Keystrokes very long, but they have been fair with me. I am disappointed that I have to wait until Tuesday to be paid, but it certainly is not a deal breaker. I have a part-time job as wlel. But I have certainly been in those situations where a day or two was critical, so I emphathize to those who truly NEED to be paid as soon as possible.
Anyway, again, I meant no harm by my post. I just am truly curious about banks that are open on holidays.
I wrote AAMT, the President, and my senators tonight...sm
I'm also going to write my local paper and contact some news organizations.
Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a
nm
It is as simple as filling out a form. I did it when I left an MTSO and when I left sm
a non-MT position at a company years ago.
What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
may I ask why you left? nm
,,
I would keep looking. I left after a
month because of the very low and convoluted pay scale, as well as the fact that I was never kept on an account long enough to build up any speed. Unless things have changed, you'll waste a lot of time looking up information that other services provide. They're nice people and they paid on time, but I didn't see enough earning potential so I moved on. BTW, I had 15 years of experience at that time and 99+% QA scores.
When I left
I was told by my PS that if I went with another company, MQ would one day buy it and then fire any MQ working there who had left MQ for that company. At the time it seemed like an empty threat, but who knows?
I did too, but left them behind and
if you want to email me I will tell you about my experience. I do not like the idea of posting negative things on this board, as everyone finds a company to be different for them. If interested, I will be glad to share.
I tell you why I left
Did you notice on Spantel the time difference? You could be working in the evening yet the system would show it was the next day? I was told about that when I was hired, yet I was constantly hearing from my manager about not having enough lines and there they were, credited for the next day. They lost paperwork constantly as well and I had to work an entire month before getting paid because somebody lost the paperwork I filled out.
I'd check my lines and see a list of jobs that showed 0 lines...yet go back in later and some would be there. It was very very inconsistent.
LOL - that's why I left!!
That is why I left
nn
will anybody be left?
OMG, I know how you feel. My position was also outsourced after 20 years. I currently work for a national; but I feel there is no job security. So, I plan to go back to school and get out of transcription. This is not a profession that I would advise anybody to get into.
I left because sm
My lead just WOULD NOT leave me alone. I don't mind working 40 hours a week or even a few more, but when I have a day off, I want it to be a day off. She was constantly emailing and saying Critical Status on _____ Account and she would call me on my days off and ask me to work. Now, I know some people welcome the extra work, but I am very fortunate to be in the position where I have a husband who makes a good salary and yes, I need a full-time job but I do not need overtime and I do not want to work seven days a week.
If the pay had been better, I would have just learned to be thick-skinned and ignore her when she kept bugging me, but the pay wasn't that great and I got an offer from some local doctors to do their overflow work and then found a second part-time job with a local MTSO and said bye-bye Keystrokes. Now I have weekends off and can basically set my own hours. Just call me Happy Camper.
I left OSi and went to SPi
I left OSi because my account coordinator changed about 3 times within a month then found the same thing happening at SPi. Now the word is out that another OSi account manager or maybe even 2 are leaving. This just gets old. I am very happily employed at Keystrokes now.
Thank you all. I like to see how much I have left to do. (nm)
actually not as many as you think have left
You're just speculating though!
I left also
more than once. Their new policy states that cannot be rehired for a year. If leave more than once may be 2 yrs before rehired. I know, they won't rehire me either. I gave them a little less than 2 wks. Luck of the draw I guess. Grass is not always greener on other side of track. Hang in there. There is still work out there, may not be with them, but you will not starve. I don't think you will anyway. :)
That is exactly why I have left the
MT world because it seems MOST of companies do not care about the MT, just themselves. I know it takes money to run a business, but why cheat on the MT's livelihood??? Anyway, I just got sick of the crap, and I found it to be totally
Unacceptable. That is my cents per line worth.
I left
because the line counting method jips you IMO. If you are not on Extext you may be fine. Wonderful people but I could not make my line count goals with them...
Been there- left
I agree about the statement that there are a few good team management players, but the one that did QA for me was horrible. Would send e-mails in CAPS. I felt that to be very unprofessional on her part. Filling in demographics was the pits. Not a money maker for me either. I left after the CAPPED e-mail. I would stay away from this company. Sound quality was bad as well. Posting my personal opinion.
I left the Q in Dec
and am now a HAPPY Keystroker!! Good luck, what account do you have?? 
Left QT
Fortunately I left QT when If first heard the rumors, several months before they closed, LAJ was nice enough to allow me to continue to work part time so the transition was not too bad, except it was a big drop from gross back to characters. I too left and went to WMX but only stayed about a month and then moved on, have been at the current company 6 months and a lot like QT, one account pretty much, very basic account instructions, 12 hour window, I still miss QT but am happy now with benefits.
Has anyone left MQ and still
Getting their E-mail??
Had it and left - sm
I went with my cable company...no cap. Unlimited really means unlimited. For me, cable was cheaper, faster and much more reliable.
Just left there and sm
I couldn't get out quick enough. They promise endless work and that turned out to be a great big bust. They constantly run out of work. The QA dept is ok or I should say there is at least one person in the QA dept I dealt with that is good. The other I can't say for certain she even knew what she was doing as I received some really iffy feedback from her that I had to question. The platform IS Apex and it stinks pure and simple. It is nonproductive and slow as all get out. I also think the line counts are not what they should be but there is no way to verify that as it's all done internally within the platform. If you're looking for production and to make money I'd recommend you running the other way. There are so many other opportunities out there. Good luck to you though.
When I left
I was making 9.75 cents a line. I would not have stayed if they had offered me nine dollars a line. After I quit, someone from MQ called and asked what it would take get to have me come back. I told them there was not enough money in all the world to entice me to come back.
Then you should have just left it at that
There was no need to even mention anything other than this particular MTSO is a crook. If you didn't want anyone to make comments about your friend then you should not have even brought her up, or how much she is owed.
Your friend has learned a hard and valuable lesson and you get to go on a headhunt. Nice of you to take on the cause, but if her kids are starving I would think a sack of groceries would go a lot further than your ego.
why we left MQ
There are far too many reasons to list here.
left MQ
I left in Jan 08 because my pay was about $600 less a month-- hated my accounts, etc!!! Much better at JLG!!
But what about those of us who have left
And were fall out from it? Are we supposed to try again, or are we black-listed? What is being taken care of about that? Not to be flip, but we did lose out on working at a great place, and had to take the time to go elsewhere, etc. There was fall out, and wondering if there is anything done about the people lost because of the situation which has been taken care of now.
I left there.
The pay was good. If you have a lot of experience, and experience with ESLs, they have some real stinker accounts (you know the kind, hospitals along the coasts where ESLs run rampant). Maybe that's why pay was good and they paid more during training. I don't mind ESLs but a steady diet was just making me mad.
I just left there....
Running out of work was common. When you run out, they expect you to flex and then be johnny-on-the-spot on the Friday, Saturday, Sunday shifts when the work piles up. If it had been an occasional thing, I could understand, but from the beginning of November until I left a few weeks back, it was still a problem. They should rename the company to Precyse No-Jobs-Available Solutions, LLC (with LLC standing for Low Lines coming).
