Elephant in the room - sm

One thing that never seems to get talked about is the fact that all of these national services and VR vendors like escription are involved in widespread databases which are ripe for hacking. The word privacy foundation says this is a problem in that medical identity theft can be as bad as general identity theft and can cause the victim multiple problems, one of which is being held liable for medical bills that aren't theirs. It seems to me that a contraction back to private local small networks may be the final outcome and that will effectively curtail escription's stranglehold on our livelihoods.

I say to you, I have no room for ....

Not a lot of room for error
If you know the BOS 2. Then apply. If you don't. Do not apply. A very strict MTSO to work for.
chat room
Does anyone ever use the chat room?
I have a television in my room and
watch and/or listen every once in awhile and can talk on the phone and answers other in the room, can write and hear others and answer. It might play a part in VR because I edit, listen to others, watch TV and so on. I used to wear thick glasses, really thick so think my hearing was intensified to make up for that loss.
I use co. initials to take up less room so can post

Maybe you could rent out a room or two instead of working
3 full time jobs leaves no time for sleep! If I were in that position, I'd look into renting out a bedroom. In an urban setting, you could always store your car and rent out the garage (if you have one).
She was probably looking around the room for a candid camera!
That's so pathetic! Gawd, I hope she said NO and told them why!
Was this for ASR or straight MT?
Thanks, Rennie, for answers in the chat room! NM

OSi has had a mass exodus so there should be plenty of room for newbies

She does not work from her living room. Why would assume such a thing? Why would it matter to you
do not post things that you have no idea about. If you have a problem with KS or any company, why not ignore it and move on? Why does it concern you?
Never said perfect. If it were perfect, there would never be room for sm
change or growth. What I was talking about was the continuous posting by the same people, over and over again, that is vague and destructive. This is not just about Keystrokes, this is about the posts for other companies as well.
I think that not every MT is a good fit for every company, and not every company is good fit for every MT. If this were the case, there would be very little job searching or hiring going on, only if someone retired or left the field or entered the field.
It is the outright lying that is so horrible. Keystrokes is a transcription company which means that we have the normal ups and downs that every company has in terms of slow and busy periods. We have been very fortunate to have very little down time due to busy and also new accounts.
If there are check problems, they are resolved. We all wish there were no problems and this is the biggest topic at manager meetings, but human error comes into play here as well. We have a new time recording system that should eliminate that, if the information is entered correctly from the MT.
If there are tough dictators on the account, it is not the fault of the company. It is the fault of the hospital that has them on staff, but you have to take the good with the bad.
If there are QA complaints, it is usually that the leads are too strict. The owners have said that they would rather be known for being too picky than too lenient, thus having accounts say the work is not up to standard.
If there is a reliability problem, it just might not be a good fit.
I know that if I were to take over recruiting and hiring (which I absolutely want NOTHING to do with), I would not take job hoppers. However, I have been told that you have to look at the hopping and why it has happened. A lot could be poor choices. That's why I will never be in charge of hiring, but I can control the MT QA and reliability once they are on my account.
There is still room for improvement, but improvement
has been made with the supervisor. I have found them willing to work with me on just about anything. They just can't give me work they don't have.
