Company Drama and the board

It seems to be that a daily drama has to be played out here. I sure hope things cheer up around here soon. It's getting to be no fun. I am becoming wary that it is not just the MTs causing the drama, but certain places of employment are experiencing growing pains and becoming dramatic. I am an MT who likes working at home to avoid the drama of the office. I am an MT who likes a predictable day, a predictable yet challenging job. For me all this drama is really getting to be a bit much. I don't know about you, but I sure hope that things calm down and a little less anxiety around here. Have a nice weekend. I am because I am signing off this place and will only lurk to see if the drama queen companies and MTs have calmed down. Have a nice weekend folks.

MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,

Drama
I think it has come to the point where the atmosphere at OSi has gotten to the employees and with all the "favoritism" and inadequacy of QA Manager. People are fed up. My advice, get out of OSI, there are companies that appreciate MTs and by the way, why is OSI allowed to post jobs on here when MT STARS is totally against outsoucing offshore? I thought that was not accepted here on this board.
No need for all that drama.
if you would simply call it a night, get some rest and stop trying be so condescending with a whole slew of people here who have very legitimate concerns over the implications of subcontractors and their potential to exert MORE negative forces and drive downwads trends in line rate further into the dust.
Such drama - nt
Oh my...I would rather work for a man..less DRAMA!!

I think it really means a no drama SM
person. I don't think it applies to vacations at all. You have no idea how many people apply for jobs, get hired and then suddenly need time off to take care of a personal problem, have constant personal issues, child issues, etc. and keep asking for time off. I see it a lot in this field. The person who takes a couple of vacations every year (scheduled) and schedules any other time off in advance is rare these days.
I agree -- drama queen of the century (sm)
Not only that, check with your accountant. She claims the MTs are ICs but subjects them to so many rules/regulations, provides the software (no need as just Word would do fine), etc. My state's department of labor is investigating, and I also filled out that IRS form to get a determination, but my accountant says there's no question she was treating people like employees but not paying the taxes, etc. Too bad -- Stanford was fun work, even if it was only clinic work.
Job hoppers, undependable, drama queens SM
I've seen them all. BTW for the person below, I call a person a job hopper when they have had a number of jobs where they only stayed weeks or perhaps a couple of months and then moved on for whatever reason. These people can be identified from the interview. They have a laundry list of demands as far as what they will and won't do in terms of worktypes, they need blocks of time out during the day to do errands, make dinner, they have many appointments with various doctors.
If you do end up hiring them for one reason or another, they are undependable. Float on and off the system all day, have family members call to report the employee is in the hospital REGULARLY, they won't work the shift they committed to, the electricity was cut off, the cable line has been cut..you get the idea. On the days they do manage to make it to work they are calling the office with stupid problems because they have no technical ability (computer) or they have absolutely no problem-solving skills. When they aren't having problems, they are calling the office to complain about the work they're getting, they can't type ESL doctors (well who took the test to be hired, I wonder?), they've never typed anything but clinic notes, they don't own a BOS. I feel your pain. I hope some of these MTs read this and see themselves, but somehow I don't think they will. Flame away, people, the folks over in India are grateful when they get more work.
Personally, I couldn't care less about TT or the drama.
You seem to be assuming the company is in the right in this situation. I have no personal stake in the issue, but IMO I think it's overboard to sue over a message board, and I'm just saying since this ridiculousness has happened and opened our eyes that we can't openly say things around here apparently because we never know when something like this could happen, that maybe we should just use different wording very carefully so we can still share important info. I would hate to see this one company's lawsuit ruin our ability to share info with fellow MTs. Just seeing that APPARENTLY, ahem, this company is suing an MT is helpful information in itself when choosing a company.......
Wow, some just aren't happy unless there's negativity and drama abounding.
This drama NEVER ends! It is SOOOOOO scary, and so boring at the same time!
Now Lee will come on, with an empassioned plea to please call her, and yada, yada, the misunderstandings. This person left, or that person left, or now a new bolt of lightning. It is getting ABSURD to have this regurgitated at least weekly on this board! Same old, same old. I would NEVER work for Keystrokes, and can't imagine anyone falling for this saga and applying. Something is VERY wrong in KS land.
That's a horribly offensive term. I wouldn't compare some drama

Broken promises, messed up pay, endless drama. Good riddance!

Company board was down also. N/M

Can we NOT do this on the company board?

Isn't this what the company board
The company board allows you to ask questions. I just can't see recruiters having the time to frequent this board and answer questions. Why not just contact the recruiter with questions. You'll get a right from the horse's mouth answer as opposed to people scorn. Everyone is different in their opinion. I've seen people that love Meditech or hate it. I've seen people that love Emdat and others that think it steals lines. So, I'm not so sure an additional board with the expectation that job recruiters will frequent this site all day and night and provide answers (also not knowing if it really is a recruiter) will enhance this site. It is what it is. If you want to ask about a company, the ask away on the company board, that's what it's for. Of course, this is all JMHO. 
BTW: This is on company board because at first
I was going to name the companies, but then decided not to for fear of losing jobs altogether. You know, word gets around, and this MT needs as many jobs as possible right now. So thanks for understanding about not putting on main board, this was meant to be put on company board. Tx
Try the Company Board

This is the company board.
No not a company on this board. sm
I think I know the one you're referring to. This one is a big city hospital about 4 hours away from me so would have to relocate temporarily and then could come home and work. I don't particularly like that aspect of it either and that would cause a hardship too. I think hospitals are more rigid in their schedule requirements too. I know these type of jobs are far and few between and very coveted but I know I would not be happy having to work that shift. Thanks for your responses. I appreciate it more than you know.

Well thank you, company board police!
before posting anything to this forum in the future.
ask on the board for the unmentionable company, lol
someone there might know
I cannot believe that representatives from any company would come on to this or any other board
and call a poster a liar! My God, that is truly the most unprofessional thing ever. If this person worked for my company, they would be terminated before they could bat an eye! That KS thinks that this is acceptable makes my head hurt. The thing with these boards is that you pretty much have to just ignore what's being said about you. Every single company in this business has, or will have, something bad posted about them at some point. Ignore it and move on. By coming to the board to publically refute the allegations you are just lending credence to the issue and dragging it out. Not to mention looking like a classless, tactless idiot.
It belongs here, on the Company board. (NM)

Question regarding company on job board
There is a company who posted on the job board for the second time. I had applied the last time they were looking for MTs, and I was hired, or I thought I was hired. I did work for her and she was a really nice person who seemed like she wanted to work with me and my schedule. I had actually posted about her when I first started working for her saying how much I liked her. I was paid promptly and we had a lot of email communication. I didn't do much work for her but had told her that I would be available. We communicated back and forth with me telling her I was available for more work, and she said she would contact me to do more work. To make a long story short, I never heard back from her and now I see that she is posting again on the job board. I wish she would have at least told me that she didn't like my work or that I didn't work out for whatever reason, but I never heard a word. I guess my question is do you think I should email her again and ask her if she would still consider me for the position or would you just let it go.
Run a search on the company board...
