but just because I think they are being unwise to stay with that company, I don't accuse them of being management!
You are way off, and yet you won't stop making your untrue assumptions. If you work for a good company, post your positive information on that instead of attacking companies that we can only assume you are not talented enough to work for.

This is why people should not defend SM
the company they work for and insist that it's the best thing and that everyone else is crazy for not liking said company. Things can go sour in weeks. The poster who quit was all over these boards ad nauseum about how FANTASTIC TT was and now look.
No need to feel as if you have to defend yourself.
Like I said, I was confused by what you were asking for exactly. I'm sorry if my post came across as snotty or critical. It's great that you want your people to make more money. However, my experience has been that VR or SR (speech or voice recognition) cuts into MT paychecks and increases income for the MTSO. The reason being that editors aren't paid as much per line to edit as MTs are paid to type. It's just not economically feasible because nationals are still trying to give the best price to the clients just to keep the work from going overseas. BTW, if you mention voice/speech recognition to your employees, be prepared for them to think you're trying to cut wages or positions, too.
I've used Dragon myself with my own accounts, but it was faster for me to type with Expanders than it was for me to edit and "train" the software program to each dictator's voice. Maybe in the long run, it might have been better for me but my clients needed their work ASAP without fooling around with experimental software. I know of some people who redictate the dictation into Dragon, but that was too time consuming for me as well. I'm not sure how the bigger nationals train their VR systems. Maybe you could find some distributors of S/VR for a demonstration?
quick to defend too

She did not even defend herself. She confirmed it. Nuts.

I think she's posted here on the site to defend the
I thought MDI-MD was running out of work here lately... 
You can defend your company without being sarcastic and rude

Not that I feel I need to defend myself, but I just passed my 2-month mark,
so you would be thinking incorrectly. I am a fairly new hire, but I do have 18 years of MLS experience. I must say, am baffled by your antagonism.
dang...sm
 No, I'm not stupid, I WAS genuinely interested in this whole story, you don't have to go get your panties in a wad. Jesus, I just asked a freakin' question...YOURE the one that brought the whole thing up...wow, did I misjudge you...
well dang...
i only have 3.5 years and i tested too. you're scaring me now.
Dang! My bad . . . sorry (nm)
:)
lol, dang

Dang! They are doing this again???? sm
They did this in 2001 (I think that is the right year). Seems the norm for them.
Well dang
and here I thought I was the Golden Child. LOL Not!
Dang. Tried again and still will not send
Sorry!! Try MTspot. I am there a lot, too
dang it - your - not you're. nt
Dang, I feel like a nobody.
Dang - that's just a bit more than increase in
See link below for online calculator that lets you see what $x in a certain year should be worth today. I plugged in $14 and 1999, and it shows it would be worth $17.79 today.
That means that your 10 years of loyalty, seniority, accumulated knowledge about your platform and client sites, etc. are worth 21 cents.
Here's the calculator:

Dang it, that was funny! LMAO
I have a spare bowling trophy I can FedEx to the OP to commemorate this event.
Dang. I take it you were screwed by Focus?

dang, good for you. But not helpful to the sm
rest who may unwittingly join that organization. If this is accurate, why would not not share at least initial and state involved. We all have to have info in order to base decisions whether (as you did, give it a try against your better judgment) otherwise it like throwing the MTs in the fire, sink or swim. Not to be mean or nasty, but YOU moved on, but some would rather know/if -- we want to go down the road too just to end up the same unneessarily. You don't need to ID yourself.
Dang. Where did I leave the camera??

Dang, wish mine would have shown up DD today. :( nm

Dang, sounds like we worked for the same company before!
I agree; I was scared to death to make a change, but the opportunity to work for KS just fell in my lap and after a rough (slow) start I can truly say I am glad to be working for them.
I was kind of impressed by the year-end survey, which came to me shortly after starting. I like that kind of proactive approach.
Dang It girl! I'm not liking my fourth one
I wonder where a person in the field of only MT'g for 10, 15, 20 plus years could get hired for any other kind of work anywhere?
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
Because people like you come on this
because you don't have any problems with MDI then no one else possibly could either. I'm really glad your experience has been so positive. I'm not saying mine has been bad but there are issues at management level whether you want to believe it or not. Have you read any of these posts? Does that answer your question?
Who are these people?
I'm not sure who the devil-nurse is but I know who the current manager is. Who is the first one you mentioned? Her initials are okay if you care to answer.
some people
not only is she too young to read the newspaper to find out about the divorce rate and many people maintain relationships with their exhusband she also can't take a joke and is plain crazy and mean to boot.
Probably not seeing that a lot of people are having
nm
I think on the people on DQS yes.
:
How can you sit there and lie to these people?!!!!!
ROFLMAO!!!
Okay, former OSI people!
the OSi management person is who is in here doing damage control/cheerleading under the name "Happy OSI-er"??
Is it PD, MB, Flossie, or one of the lower level cronies that they put up to it? My guess is that it's Flossie, but it could be any of them.
Could they be any more transparent?
Uh...what? Like I said, I wonder some of the people
absolutely nm
I have never met so many people in SM
one field who have anger problems, personality problems, severe mental illness, you name it. They are drawn to this field like flies.
That the people who do your QA
I always change inappropriate things. Yet, if I do have to send a report to QA they change it back to "verbatim" and deduct me. That is NUTS. If you know it is a "she" and not a "he" verbatim is out the window as far as I am concerned. Some QA people need to get a life. We MTs take our jobs seriously.
that is how most people pay
It depends on what you call making money. You get paid, so you would make money.
People PC
Thanks for the info.
