I've been watching for years now - sm
I'd say you are correct. Lots of companies I've never heard of and most of them seem to be IC. You never see any of the big MT companies on here anymore it seems.
I personally would never take a chance on an IC job unless I knew someone who was already working there and actually getting paid.
I sent them my resume 3 years ago and am still waiting for a response!

Yes, if your lucky you might get a log-in or acknowledgement, doubful.
I just quit. Another communication issue.
You mean, he's still at this type of thing? About 5 years ago....
I had to go to the Labor Board in my state to get my money from him. He always has more excuses than anyone I've ever known, and he's slippery about communication, too. If this is a new problem, you'd best get on it. Hopefully he'll pay up, but I wouldn't give him ANY more chances!
I hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm

I worked for All Type a few years ago on a temporary
basis helping them to clean up backlog. Gerry Kelly is a great person to work for, the work was excellent, and pay was correct and on time. Would recommend them.
I've been with AccuSTAT WI for 7 years. We don't use VR. We used MS Word to type in and depe
on the accounts, Dictaphone C-phone, regular c-phone or Lanier VXP player.
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm

watching everything they do

You know what - I've been watching
FN posts now for a while - and I experienced nearly the same things myself years ago - the no work, the no answers to emails, the cherry pickers, the lousy QA and am watching someone else now who is being treated very well and makes me kind of wonder if they don't overhire and then kind of weed us out and see who will take what, etc. I'm going to have to watch this other situation and see what develops... interesting!!
Then we best be watching our backs
and socialism has really been around longer than we think because I was let go from a job in the year in approximately 1962 because of an abortion. That is right. Worked at a children's hospital that was affliated with a bigger hospital, went to the bigger hospital and was fired from the other. So I guess socialism is nothing new, right?
What is odd here is watching the MTers
busting a gasket because of their inability to work at VR. Anyone who cannot make money doing it usually say it is for slow transcriptionists when they know they are the ones who just cannot catch on on how to make a buck from it. All the companies are headed that way. I read people say I can transcribe over 2000 a day and then they say I cannot even do $100 a day with voice. I see everyone going elsewhere, going to work at McDonald's, going to have to pay them what they make at straight, aint gonna happen. I have 25 years and tired of working my fingers off, want to do the easy way now with voice.
Guess I better start watching for it. sm
I sent in my papers last Friday.
trans companies watching
Funny story - several companies watch this board and feel they can use the information posted as a slander suit against those doing the posting. Funny thing is, all posting would have to be proven inaccurate and if they are not the companies spoken about, then why would they worry if it were them. If it is them, then they would also have to prove it was not true. Be careful posting, there are several who monitor and act as if they are one of you. As you all know the signon information, including what some feel are initials are usually an acronym or petname. You could be mistaken for someone else.
Most should probably spend their time making sure they keep their nose clean and their people happy. Not only do they drive us crazy in our professional lives, they have nothing better to do then to reach into our personal lives as well.
Trans. cos. watching board
Not the least bit worried. We enjoy a fair comment privilege to state our opinions, and we can make assertions and tell our experiences. They have no leg to stand on. I think their threats to initiate *slander suits* is hilarious, and ironic since MTs are the ones being acused of being sue-happy. If any of you transcription companies are monitoring this message right now, take this: You're a pathetic, crooked company, you cheat your MTs and your clients. Now try to find me!
I have been watching this KS bashing and hope that it never happens to sm
my company. You are horrible, bitter, miserable people who seem to have nothing better to do than throw in 2 cents that mean nothing. I am apalled at the childish behavior of adults and profassionals.
Long distance? All of my 32 of my employees have to provide unlimited long distance or be local to Atlanta. They all have either cable digital or Southern Bell and no one complains as it is not very expensive and does not really add to their regular phone bills.
If you want more than 0.06 per line, you have to be willing to give and take too. MTSOs are here to make money too and I think you would be very surprised to see that we do not make as much as you think, maybe even less than some MTs.
I'm going to start watching this more closely also. (sm)
Do you think the lag will get worse as new accounts are added?
yeah, they are watching and people take the bait

Watching who is posting for jobs to keep current, but not

You take the Geritol and start typing, Missy. Big brother is watching! They
Can't put up with that kind of bull from my employer!
The hospital I work just contracted to send our overflow to MDI. I've been watching as our SM
minutes slowly dwindle. Last meeting we had, we voiced our concerns about losing our work and Transcend/MDI outsourcing overseas, only to be told that administration is happy that TAT is being met and so they are going to continue to send work to MDI on a daily basis and we don't believe they are sending OUR work overseas.
My hospital is a prime account to be sent overseas, a medium-sized community hospital, three (count 'em, three) ESL who aren't hard to do at all with the resting being very good, very American dictators, easy to understand. No way would a service give this account to an American MT who could stand to make a good pay check doing this account.
I think the next step is to get rid of us all and send everything out. If that happens, that's it for me, I'm getting out of transcription all together. I know I definitely won't go to MDI for a job, like they would put me on this account where I could pull in 2000+ lines a day.
I've worked too hard all these years to be treated like my knowledge, skills, and education doesn't matter and to be paid peanuts for these skills I have worked hard to acquire, improve, and maintain.
I'm just really bummed today. My job future isn't looking too good right now. I hope I'm wrong. 
I was told by several actual Indiam MTs that they were trained by watching ER episodes and typing SM
as the show was aired. They were rated on their speed, not accuracy! He said that when he did start working, the actual reports were to be edited in the US, so accuracy did not matter. I found this shocking, although the best line rate there at the time was 2-3 cpl. His accounts that he was assigned in India were for many US VA hospitals He has since come to the US and works online for a major company, last time I spoke with him, he was getting 11 cpl. He must have been trained with one of the more complicated episodes of ER...LOL BTW, I did tell him that he should be an entertainment industry MT, he would probably make more money...
Bye Bye Birdie. Could you email me too. I've been watching the board and interested in your findi
since I also have been on the job search from you know where. I would be interested in any information you would want to share.
Webmedx watches every min you type or don't type.
I personally didn't like logging off to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever. Drove me nuts. They were too regimented for me. Not sure if you are aware they do that. Part of working at home is the flexibility and they just weren't. Good Luck
You are doing better than I am. Still waiting...
...on the paycheck. Maybe those 100% gals get the debit cards, and those idjits, like me, who mess up a comma, don't get a debit cardiac?
(Kidding, kidding, antcipating my debit card with high excitement.)
Still waiting on MQ
not getting my hopes up, of course. Happy MT Week!
Still waiting...
I'm still waiting for mine 
Anyone else still waiting for W-2 from DSG?
They said they were sending it out this week. Sure seems SLOW this year.
What are you waiting for? Get out now! nm

I'm still waiting.............SM
for someone to reveal how they know that the account has been lost. There appears to be at least one individual who enjoys starting rumors of QT's demise on this board, and we have survived these rumors before. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. I'm not leaving my job based on what appears to most of us to be pure rumor, at least to the majority of employees. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. Thanks.
You will be waiting until the 15. They
do not process your check the day you send in your time sheet.
waiting...
It would be considerate of them to at least let us know what is going on. They have not said one word about going to VR with any of the accounts. I have been with them for years and it's very unprofessional of them to ignore us and expect us to just sit back and wait until they have work for us to do. Yes it is a slow time of year, but FN has been slow across the boards for the last 8-10 months now, even with picking up new accounts. How does that make sense?
waiting
Why wait that long...would email or call, things get lost and forgotten especially this time of year, at least you would know instead of waiting and wondering...
Waiting here too
impatiently, I might add (LOL) . . . just my personality. I wonder how long it will take to hear back. I know she is busy, but hopefully we'll know soon since she is looking to hire quickly.
I had some trouble with #1 also.
I'm not waiting around for them to get their act together sm
My bills won't wait until they get another account or whatever it is they are planning on doing. My bills aren't tolerating this cut in salary, either. I have to think of me and my family. I have juggled everything as much as I can juggle it and now I am making the decision to get out. I can't stand doing 12 hour days for a bare minimum paycheck.
Also waiting
Yes, I also thought it has been strangely quiet. The first week after the announcement, there were e-mails asking for our input and questions, and now nothing. I hope the early signs of willingness to work with us and keep things that are working don't just die on the vine.
waiting for work
For anybody that has worked with transform..............Have you have experienced this. I have been waiting for work to be asigned to me for four hours. Yes, they asign work to you......................I have been with this company for two weeks. I made a mistake, I put the wrong date of service on a report...............................So I am wondering if this is the reason why my e-mail has not been answered, nor my phone calls, nor AOL messenger. I have not made mistakes with medical words, at least that I know (although I have not gottent a lot of feedback). I have been transcribing in this particular speciality for 7 years, so I don't think I made huge mistakes.
Have anybody experienced this?
I'm waiting for them to take the spaces
xx
Waiting for mine too. sm
Not to scare you, but it took 6 weeks to get my first one. I was shorted on both checks too. Were we supposed to get paid the 15th? They are always late so I do not know.
I have been waiting all night for - sm
someone to say that. I feel better already!
WAITING FOR WORK!!!
In your response to FutureNet. I am currently working for them. It is a good company, easy platform, great people, but I am waiting for work as I type. I think they have over-hired, we are now caught up and out of work. Doesn't pay the bills!
Soon to be in the poor house
Waiting for work
Do you have other accounts with FN? I have four and if work is REALLY low I wait and do work for the other service I am employed with. We have several new accounts coming on and some of them are still in the testing stage. But it is also that time of the year.
Waiting for work
I also have 4 different accounts that I can work on, so running out of work doesn't happen very often for me.
I think it's a yes to all. I use ShortHand. Waiting to be set up for the
s
Thanks! I'm waiting for W2s from Precyse and MQ, as well. nm

Waiting to see what rates are!
Wow, $400 a month is higher than I'm paying now and I thought it was high! I currently pay $340 a month for family but the coverage is very good. I did hear that they have a new rate plan coming in. I will wait to see what I hear from this change. I have to have good insurance. My husband does have some health issues.
One last question....can someone tell me how soon insurance starts when you hire on with Keystrokes? Do you have to wait 3 or 6 months or does it go in effect on Day 1? My current job insurance went into effect Day 1. But they are outsourcing some to India starting this month and I'm afraid we may all be out of jobs soon. Doesn't look good. I may check into the plan to just purchase myself and not have to worry about changing jobs, etc.
Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.

Waiting for Future-Net
About a week ago I received an email from Future-Net stating I had passed all the testing and a recruiter would be contacting me....I am still waiting a week later. Is this normal for them?
TIA
still waiting on my paycheck
this company is a joke
still waiting on my check from TTS
@#$%&
Still waiting for an answer.
I did all my testing and had my phone interview with the recruiter and Jean but have not heard anything back. Last communication was on Monday. They seemed really intrigued as I said I would work 6 hours on Monday and Friday and 4 or more on Saturday and Sunday. Should I call them or just keep waiting? I have lots of experience with ESL's and currently work in an acute setting. Seemed like everything they wanted to hear. How long does the hiring process normally take? Thanks in advance.
still waiting for computer to come
here. Just trying to get some understanding of platform before starting.
