LOL, it figures YOU would rear your head
I'll get to work as soon as my shift starts.
I wouldn't want to start earlier than scheduled and 'steal' any of YOUR work, lololololol!!!!!!
Have a lovely green-tinged day, oh jealous one.
Ugly. Dont even consider it.
They profess to be a good fine Christian organization but they are FAR from it.
to green with envy
MDI is a terrific place to work. They have their priories right and are honest. Unfortunately, they are not accepting applications right now from what I was told by one of my colleagues, but, of course, that could change. Don't give up!
Credibility my REAR
You don't have to have a CMT to be a good MT. It's all about the MONEY. They could care less about anything else or they wouldn't ship the US work to people who cannot speak English!!!!!
You want to talk about CREDIBILITY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Okay. I will. Thanks for kicking my rear out once and for all
And if you are management, just to let you know, you will get my resignation in a week or so. I know, you will be glad to see me go, so I won't let the door hit me on the way out... Thanks for being so supportive of my decision to quit.
I envy you. 5 years ago at my company I would have said the same thing
Now they are using such unfriendly software, can't fix any of the problems, it seems, and I'm seriously thinking of moving on. The owner hires her friends, and I really don't think anyone is qualified. JMO, of course.
I envy you soooooooo much - good luck!

Aha !! Retired and painting gourds as a hobby? Envy you. nm

Precyse in my rear-view mirror........................
No problem. Feels good to get is off my chest. Don't mind sharing the good, bad and ugly of the job search and its results. With a little luck, I will bag one by the weekend or first of next week. Will follow up on the company board.
I am placing high priority on an hourly wage + benefits position. So much of the pressure would be eliminated and to a certain extent I would accept slightly less $ to get it. They are rare to be sure but not impossible to find with a little persistence.
The jury is still out on the do they still exit query. Over the past 31 years the general progression from good-to-bad followed a gentle and gradual downward slope, punctuated with two major deep dives in my recollection. The first was in the late 80s to early 90s when MTSOs had been around for a few years but were still relatively young. They did not seem to comprehend the concept of employee benefits. IC was their answer and full-employee status all but vanished. This began to turn around in a noticeable way in the late 90s, a full DECADE later. The second and deepest dive is this ASR jolt. We will all end up squaring off with it sooner or later. Generally speaking, small-to-medium size organizations who are competitive in terms of benefit and wages seem to be the most likely place to find a little peace...but meticulous research on those is imperative. I will not rule out anything for the moment. I plan send resumes to as many MTSO companies as possible, even the ones with the bad reps posted on this board, in an attempt to get a phone call PRIOR to what can be the labor-intensive testing phase of the process. I am interested in comparing the various recruiting strategies and offers. I have a copy/fax/scanner on my desk so that really helps in being able to cover a lot of territory.
I also think I will try to edge on out into the general transcription scene just to see what it looks like. Government jobs may be a possiblity as well....they can't age discriminate.
During search, I have found it useful to keep daily notes, tracking the process, contact info, the substance of the conversations, my gut reaction and the time factors. Will post again in a day or 2. Thanks for your interest.
My experience was UGLY. Very ugly.
Just keep your other job until you're sure....good luck.
I'll second that....I really don't care about all that crap. No skin off my rear.

go over the supers head to the head of operations. sm
Any STM that does not reply to her people is a jerk and the head of operations needs to know.
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

We were not ugly
We were not ugly. Stacy came on and stated that her two most important factors in chosing a company was to have a computer provided and to have paid maternity leave and that was in CAPS. She did not state that she was wanting to earn more PTO time and to use that, she wanted to be PAID after having a child. At 4 hours per pay period that is 12 days a year and that is pretty norm for this profession. Like I told Stacy, would you pay a babysitter or a nanny when they wanted six weeks off and you had to pull in someone to do their job so you were paying double and earning the same income. It is really hard to provide benefits and a decent pay in this field. Yell at me all you want, but the balancing act is very hard to do. And like the prior poster also said, the companies change so often between merges, buy-outs, and out sourcing that what you sign on for in 2006 probably won't be the same in 2007 or 2008 for sure. So if stability is what Stacy wants, I think that she needs to look elsewhere like a union job or a state/city or county position where it is spelled out in black and white what she will receive for the next three years. We did not mean to make you feel bad but again, you posted several times about maternity leave and we are not mind readers you should have posted need to accrue PTO at a faster rate. But we were not nasty or ugly and just stated the facts in this field.
bad and ugly.

Not sure why you have to be ugly
What was the purpose of the very nasty responses to this question? I happen to agree w/ the original poster on this and see no reason for why you had to be so hatefuly in replying. Did it make you feel better? Do you talk to your employers, friends, families, etc., this way?  If so, I must say I feel sorry for you AND them.
Why do you have to be so ugly about it?!?!
I did not take it as this person ripping apart any company at all. They were just stating what so many on this board have stated many, MANY times and in a sense they are correct. It does not take much to set up an automated reply, trust me if I can do it, anyone can. I just don't understand why people have to attack others on this board when they are simply just stating THEIR opinion, if you don't like it then stop reading and move on to another post, it's that simple.
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly. sm
I left KS a few months ago after having a near nervous breakdown. I had too much going on in my life and thought that it would be better to go work in a hospital.
The Good: They are growing, have very stable accounts and keep all their customers. Pay is on time and there is direct deposit. The rules have become clear in what is expected of you. They are very personal.
The Bad: The insurance is terrible and expensive but I heard they are getting BC/BS in the fall for sure. The pay used to be late here and there for a few days. It is fixed now and has been for a very long time. The growth caused some changes that did not work and more changes were made to correct the problems caused, which seemed like chaos from the outside looking in.
The Ugly: They went through some terrible growing pains a few years ago and have been dodging bullets from former employees. There were late checks and no direct deposit. There was not a lot of work because they overhired.
The diagnosis: Once they got over the hump several months ago, things evened out and have been for a while. I want to go back but I'm afraid they won't take me.
How do I know all this? My best friend still works there and is very, very happy. I made a mistake leaving but now my life is on an even keel. I made a lot of money there.
DRC good, bad, ugly?
Any info i.e. are they good to work for or anything would be appreciated.
99% good, No Bad, No Ugly ... sm
Except for a short period of time when work ran low on one account only my experience has been 99% good. No place is perfect, but I have absolutely no complaints. The people treat me like a human being, I love the platform, the sound quality is great, they pay the long distance bill, the benefits are superior. Best move I ever made.
Wise
wow...it can get ugly in here....Well MTSO,
keep on speaking highly of your MTs, and probably best that she not visit this board. It seems our profession has taken a negative turn somewhere along the road.
Good luck with many more new MTs to come in the future.
the good, bad, and ugly
I was wondering if anybody out there would be willing to give the good and bad about what company they work at, or used to work at. I'm trying to figure out who it would be worthwhile to send resumes to and who I should just stay away from. I'm interested in the management, scheduling, line requirements, pay rate, benefits, and provided equipment. I'd greatly appreciate any info you have. Thanks!
Well, there must now be more than one of you, too! Cause there was an ugly hateful thread
about racial prejudice - really shocking, and someone named eyetype was proudly gloating and calling herself a string of things of which I can only recall old hateful bigot, but she was gonna get a new attitude, or something to that effect. Whole thing now deleted, conveniently, but I actually made a sticky note to remember who it was that said these horrible things. Now that's a HUGE spot to reach in my world - SO BAD that I would put a sticky note anywhere! I have never done that before in my life, and there are some ugly posters around these here woods!! I wanted to be sure to steer clear of you and NEVER forget what you said, you or the other eyetype?
Good, bad or ugly about Webmedx??? NM

X-Press: The good, the bad and the ugly?
Any recent info appreciated.
The QA is okay on my account, no ugly comments, but
sometimes when you have a specific question you don't get an answer or it takes days. We have 5 QA people and each one had their quirks and interpretation, so while you may be doing something one way because one QA person said to, the next QA person may tell you to do it differently. You never know who will be doing your QA at any given time so you stand a change of being wrong a percentage of the time and occasionally they have made changes that were not correct. Not a major issue usually, unless you make a lot of errors, and then it affects your line rate.

Keystrokes - good, bad, and ugly
Would anyone be so kind as to give me some insight into this company? In the past everything I've read about it was pretty good, but I'm not really able to pull up anything recent. Thanks a bunch.

MTS of Texas..the good, the bad, and the ugly..sm
Good: Pay on time, but the amount is almost always incorrect. Bad & Ugly: Pay by the minute. Owners will tell you it equals out to be the same as being paid by the line. NOT. They use Meditech - a very antiquated version of it. QA dept. is laughable (i.e., close enough, just leave it out). Little to no IT support. Owner recently sold the company to her son.
Transcend...good bad and ugly
Would like any current info on them.....Got hired and would like to know if it is worthwhile to take the job or not.
Thanks!
Your post was ugly and your moniker was a
slap in the face. I don't know the situation, but why kick someone when they are down.
Oracle? Good/bad/ugly? no msg
Thank you.
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.
