In Reply to: Of course they tell you about it now... - they got lying and now know (SM)
If they had NOTHING to hide she should have NEVER BEEN FIRED!! She was a super QA manager. When she got fired a mass exit of MT followed.
Be glad you did not go to work for OSI. You are much better off anywhere else.

They are probably trying to hide again because they
have a horrendous reputation. They have moved from one state to another, hid behind the software company, and now they have changed their name it seems. The claim to be Christian, but their actions say otherwise.
I would avoid them at all costs.
You should never have to pay up front for equipment/software to work for a company. They may require you to have the equipment, but they should not require you to buy it from them and if they offer to sell it they should to it on a payroll deduction.
Nothing to hide - sm
Maybe personal files, pictures... I really don't think that anyone would choose to have someone have total access to their PC at anytime. Just what I think.
They all have something to hide. SM
Having a forum where they can suposedly answer questions is useless. Recruiters are not the appropriate people to find out about what it's like to work somewhere. They are paid to put a spin on every potentially negative thing - not to mention most of them have never typed a report. Companies also change recruiters like they change underwear, so getting an answer one day from one person means nothing when you are dealing with someone else.
The company owners are not appropriate because if you dared to ask about something that doesn't measure up, they tend to get very huffy and start demanding that posts be deleted.
Ditto that ditto..ESLs drove me out too...nm

really who cares if you have nothing to hide?
now if they are delving into your personal life then thats another story, thats just plain nosey. But a criminal background check is not a bad idea.
proveros cant hide
This is hilarious. I am sure shortly Syd or Sheri at Proveros will whine to take these posts down. Because it is defamatory. LOL But you can run but you cant hide. Proveros is a deplorable company to work for for FREE.. Bottom line over and over and over again.. Pay is LATE or NON existent. Whine away girls at Proveros. We all know the deal.
they aren't even trying to hide where sm
they are at anymore are they? They want Americans to come to Saudi Arabia?
Don't know if you remember this but back in the 80s and 90s, many MTs use to go to Saudi Arabia for a contracted amount of time to work as MTs. The draw for many MTs was the fact taht they money was ridiculously high, food and housing was free and MTs went over there to make the big bucks in a short time. Kind of like American civilian workers who go to Iraq to work contract jobs.
I know several MTs that went over there and for women the conditions were outrageous. you have to go by their laws.......you can imagine. I wonder if this is like that OR if this is something else and they actually expect Americans to come over there and work?
I don't even know why that website allows these companies to post their work ads. Ridiculous. Its like a big slap in the face.

Ditto, ditto, ditto. My experience exactly.
I have never typed so fast and made so little in my life except for at Amphion. Good for supplemental income but not if you really need some money.
When a company is secretive about who they are, they are trying to hide something.
I won't respond to someone that does not say who they are because you have no clue whether or not they are even legitimate.
Oh that's pathetic...trying to hide their names because they don't pay them MTs. These
companies need to have their names out there. I don't care what their excuse is...if a MT works for you, no matter how long or circumstances, pay them!!! They need to be turned in. I find it disgusting to NOT pay your employees and keep trying to recruit more suckers. Shame on them.
Because anonymity is a cloak to hide behind
No way would anyone speak to another person they way they do here. Most people have self-control, but here, that is thrown to the wind.
I didn't know people could be so mean to each other until I started reading on this board!
No way...TROLLS hide under bridges
And those things are annoying and smell bad.
*smile*
I wasn't aware that Medware was trying to hide their
involvement in India with Medware India. This is actually a very good program, just like the one Transcription Relief Services has going on.
Neither of these companies sneak around and hide the fact that they offshore and both companies still actively hire US MTs and editors.
I am very happy with my editing job at Medware and having the opportunity to work with some really great professionals in this industry.
If you would rather work for a company who offshores and then lies to their employees and clients about it, then go for it. To me that is a very unstable situation to be in.
Sending work offshore is a fact of life, the way a company goes about it is what makes the difference.
Spheris does not hide the fact it off shores. It was a
news letter.
Personally, I think that is awesome. They're not trying hide anything from anybody. I think tha
would be a company worth checking into.
If transcend has so much to hide and has to treat everyone with threats, they stay away.
That is a big red flag in everyone's face. From what I read, they are going downhill fast with lots of disgruntled employees anyway, so I am sure they will all leave the company "at will" when they find new jobs.
If you're not afraid to hide, then tell us who you are so we DON'T apply to your company!!!!
AND, if you don't NEED us for anything, then why are you HERE!! Go away!
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me. 
They probably fired your sorry self!
mm
Oh? Fired again? nm
x
I do believe that if you are fired
but if you leave willingly, you cannot collect. Good luck.
I have NEVER EVER EVER been fired from a job
But maybe you have. I was just stating something and you felt the need to jump down my throat and on my back and stomp all over it. Who are you? Diskriter management maybe?
How about the AC that was just fired
because she would not be a rat? Your AC, other ACs and those in management will be there as long as there is an OSi. They cannot get positions any place else. One AC left, tried for months to get work, could not, so went back. Also, after reading your many goofy posts here, you should count your blessings and make OSi your home. Who knows, one day you may be a director.
Probably been fired from all - LOL
nm
What AC got fired at OSI?
Yep. I got fired too. sm
The guy was a real jerk.
Yes. I was one of them fired. sm
The guy who did it was a pompous sounding ass while the HR lady cried while she was on with us.
I can see why you got fired - MT
Very unprofessional
Usually when someone is fired SM
from any job, there's the story they tell everybody about why and then there is the truth. I know for a fact there is some step-by-step procedure they go by for quality problems and they give lots of chances to attain the 98%, including the full review of work with full feedback, just like when you started.
If she didn't go through all that, then it's likely she didn't work her schedule correctly and they really are not putting up with people who abuse the schedules.
Anyone can be fired for anything at any
time. Being an IC you have less protection from that than a FT employee. All she has to say is that she has enough FT'ers or coverage or whatever and doesn't need you any more.
Fired
You have my support. It is very frustrating to have deal with difficult employers. As much as I like being an MT, I feel 90% of the time in this business, it is a very THANKLESS job. You never get appreciation for what you do, only criticized from anything from your boss having a bad day, doing too much work, not doing enough, or even silly, petty things. Not only do we have to know a lot to do this job, but make ourselves available for our employers at a moment's notice, be willing to pick up the slack of other MTs not doing their jobs, and be thick skinned to put up with negative comments, ignorant, nasty bosses, etc. It's just unfair for people to be so cold-hearted in this business. You know, what goes around comes around.
Good luck to you!
If she fired you
in a tantrum and then reHIRED you within an hour, you most probably meet employee criteria, and she, most likely, is bipolar.
let go vs fired
If you are fired, at least in the past, you were not eligible for unemployment. I was told they were not firing me, just letting me go. So you decide.
you are sure fired up
or are just a plain ol hothead. Either way, there is no need to get so rude and snotty with everyone. Yes, I worked for MQ and, contrary to what you think, I did listen, and when it was the right time for me, I also left. I too have been at this 34 years, but I've lived in 6 different states, so I have had legitimate reasons for changing jobs. One thing I know, I've always conducted myself professionally, even when I had to tell a doctor or two off, and even here on these boards. I listen and I watch, not stick my head in the sand. I gave my current opinion of MDI and CB and stand by it, until my experience shows me differently. Hope you have defused now before your BP goes off the chart, and are happy in your new job. Remember, we're all in this together, even with our different opinions.
Yup, been fired before.
About six years ago, I was let go due to 'QA issues'. I never really got the full story on why I was let go, but at the time, I didn't really care much - I was so bummed.
Try to get in touch with your ex-supervisor and simply ask what the issues were that got you fired - explain that it's so you can learn from your mistakes. Then take some time, have a few beers (if you drink), bum around in your PJs for a day or two, and then get right back on and find something else. It may have just been that the speciality didn't suit you - try something else, like cardiology or psych.
Don't give up if this is really what you want to do. Keep at it and you'll find a place that suits you. Keep smiling!!! =)

already fired
Hey Flabbergasted...just got an email from another Webmedx ex-employee...it's all over and her boss is calling everyone to tell them...expecting my phone to ring as soon as they get to my last name in the alphabet....the account is gone and so are our jobs. Our beloved manager hand picked a few of her favorites to switch to the new account coming online...the rest of us have been kicked to the curb!
Don't you think everyone would already be *fired* sm
by now if this was valid? Maybe only the lower producers were let go, to provide more work for everybody else? That's the way it usually works when an account is lost at ANY company.
Resign vs. Fired
If they fire you and you have enough weeks worked, you will get unemployment unless there are other circumstances. If you know you do not qualify for unemployment, then you might as well resign. If you use them as a reference, they can't say anything bad about you anyway, it's illegal.
All the MTs may be fired 05/10/2006
or soon thereafter--what about the call-in meeting they are said to be having this Wednesday for all the MTs? Does NOT sound good. (Glad I left when I did.) Looks like the offices in India will be getting more jobs as the American offices will be closing, I've heard, at the end of May.
If someone was fired in 2002,
how would they know what's going on in 2006?
Somebody asked who got fired
You know we can't give names on this forum but a person in tech support and her both got fired because she did not report him for something. I wish I could say more but can't. I don't know if you know her or not, she was not my AC and I know her only by name, all I know is what I heard through the grape vine.
Who is it? Was she fired or did she quit?
?
Thanks! I was starting to think I'd been fired!
x
I got fired from Amphion..........
because I was not making their line count at the end of my probation but I feel like a lot of that had to do with the DI screen. I would not recommend Amphion to my worst enema errrr enemy.
DRC Fired Emails?
Okay, so has anyone heard anything at all about their jobs at DRC (if you want to share)? Yesterday was the day, I think. Will it ever be the company it was before?
Did she get fired or did she quit?
/
Fired you too, I suppose?
Believe everything you read, huh chickenneck? We got you again, and proved our point again. She starts this week, and a nice healthy rate as well. Jealous, I know...stop wasting your valuable work time spread rumors and gossiping and you too may be one of the lucky ones! HAHAHA!
He was also fired for mistreating ME!! sm
Not only me, but I was the straw that broke the camels back so they say. He was a total A** hole and did some really bad stuff to people, but about 3 months ago was FIRED!!!. I really liked them in the beginning, was with them about 7 months, but if you need to change your schedule or want to change your account you are in trouble. You must wait 6 months to change schedule and if you are on a crappy account you can plan on being stuck there!!! Also no pay raises from EVERYONE I have spoken to from management down!!!. Now that I am with a different company, I can see the mistreatment that I got and just did not realize that was not the way it was supposed to be, but I have to say I did love my mentor and we became really good friends and my supervisors were great!! It was really the management that needed an overhaul. So this is long and there is my 2 cents.
Did you just get fired by email??????
Was this a rhetorical question, or were you fired by email today?
