Technically, you are both incorrect. This correct phasing should be:
*If I were the person to whom you were unable to offer a position, then how...*
Wrong use of a couple of words and punctuation in there, ladies.
Carry on...I'm getting some popcorn.

I'm sorry but you're wrong. My
name is not snowball (my cat) or Stanley (my dog) and I am no pet. I am just an MT who is supposed to work part time for the company 4 hours a day 4 days a week but end up working a lot more because the account I'm on is always out of control.
You're not doing anything wrong...
Unfortunately there is no way to search for recent posts other than to scroll through each page. If you use the search function at the top of the board, you can only search archived posts which date from about eight months back. Less than eight month post you really can't search other than going through each page - it's kind of a bummer!!
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. SM
I don't appreciate your characterization of my concerns as paranoid. I happen to work in this area, conducting ID theft investigations; I doubt very much that you can claim any expertise on the subject, based on your very ill-informed post.
Apparently, you're not aware of the huge Monster.com incident that is still under investigation and that involved the theft of RESUMES.
Here's a link to enlighten anyone who thinks throwing your resume around willy-nilly is a great idea:

You're wrong. - sm
I personally know the new leads and have worked with them for over a year. All are located here and transition is really happening. But Focus does have to live down the past and let the new show what they are gonna do.
Sorry, but you're wrong....
If I'm on the job board, it's because I'm LOOKING FOR A JOB!
You're wrong... sm
Like there's no poverty and desperation in THIS country?
It's NOT about identity theft: That can (and does) happen ANYWHERE.
The reason medical records should NOT be off-shored is because it's taking jobs away from Americans, putting American money into the economies of OTHER countries, and at the same time allowing American hospitals and providers to thumb their noses at HIPAA. HIPAA isn't enforceable in Timbuktu.
bet you're dead wrong on that one!

You are oh so wrong. They're changing the name and
they're not 'exclusive.'
You're wrong. Never have been paid for OT. Many others
have said the same thing. I don't know how other accounts work, but there is no way to even submit OT on transnet, you can only submit the number of lines.
I think you're taking it the wrong way.
What if a brand new MT happened across MT stars and saw your post. Maybe it was their first time here? What if they thought - hey, great, an opportunity? On an MT board do you really think Transam associates was a well hidden secret that you happened upon? Isn't one of the biggest asset an MT brings with her/him research skills? One only needs to type Transam Assoc in Google and there you have it.
Think of it from that perspective. Let's just hope some new MT didn't happen along that day and see your post and now is on her/his way to being broke and taken advantage of. 
when you can go to Starbucks and get better benefits, we're doing something wrong.. Thanks for fu
That was great!!!
You're wrong. You have posted many times
about QT, always trying to start something. You've even posted things making it sound as if you work there, and you say you don't. Why do you need to know what is going on if you don't work there? Things are well at QT, despite all the garbage a few months ago. They are not hiring so any information about pay, work load, etc. isn't needed.
You're giving out WRONG information!! sm
There are 2 Synthescribes. The one involving Heather Rigsby is based in Tennessee. This is why you just have to trust your on judgment on this board sometimes!
Barbmt - you're wrong. Focus has
always been offshore. They wanted to come onshore but for whatever reason, they are now returning all work back to India. Get your facts straight. We were not paid too much - heck the MT work was horrible, mostly the Indian MTs but also the American MTs. I could have typed them faster than all the time I had to take to fix these mistakes.
you're scolding to the wrong person

Not one account lost in over 3 years. You're wrong. sm

I think they tell everyone they fail too...sm
Because I think it is strange that they tell you that you failed and then ask you to do the CareerStep course. Even put the link in there. Almost like they are getting a kickback for recommending CareerStep. I have been a working MT for 1-1/2 years. Why would I want to take a course? That is weird.
Maybe you did not fail. Maybe you did too well
you a rotten offer of less per line. Just consider yourself lucky, things always happen for a good reason, even if it does not seem so at the time.
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
Im sorry did you FAIL? LOL what an excuse.
x
That's because you didn't fail...sm
They tell everyone that tests that they failed and then they turn around and ask you if you would like an MT job.
No, many of us cut it....Just you fail, apparently.
I'm not going to dignify your rants any further. If you're so miserable, try to find someone else who will hire you.
If not, sharpen up your skills and perhaps you too can have more work and won't have to spend so much time here whining about no work at TT when others of us have plenty of work.
Just a suggestion.
As I said, I won't be dignifying your misrepresentations of TT on these boards. Others have posted they too have enough work, too.
Perhaps YOU are the only one who isn't cutting it at TT.
What YOU fail to understand is that...
Most of the people on this board have already been through this. So your forewarning this same scenario could begin unfolding in their lives... blah-blah-blah is a total JOKE.
We just dealt with it, like any other business person would. No wailing. No moaning. No gnashing of teeth. Just dealt with it.
Seems to me the folks doing the whining are those MDIers who think 11 cpl plus setting whatever danged scheduled you please was going to continue indefinitely. How utterly and pathetically naive can someone be?!
And you might want to heed your own words: Forewarned is forearmed. Because ... sister ... IT ONLY GETS WORSE.
I feel bad for all the other companies who will be having to dredge through the piles of applications of folks who 'will never never work for a company that offshores' - lol! Maybe they should start poting Crybabies need not apply on their job postings.
I fail to understanding NOTHING
I have no idea what you're babbling about in your post. I WAS proactive and did immediately seek employment elsewhere. That doesn't mean I'm incapable of having the human decency to understand my fellow MTs plight.
You've got quite a hard shell.
Just like a NUT, now that I think about it.
I can assure you, you didn't fail
a QA audit based solely on spelling out numbers.
I didn't fail the test, but... sm
you would not have failed for blanks. In fact, they told me to use blanks if I needed to when I took it because they would not count off for blanks but would surely count off for an incorrect word or guess. I'm sorry you didn't pass, but don't give up. I think you can retest again in 6 months. I happen to think that Webmedx would be worth another testing because it is a good company.
If you don't have "tons of experience," you may fail the test!! nm

I disagree. Unionization will fail and cost
We have no leverage with the offshoring and speech recognition here.
Companies would rather fire us and struggle and turn 100% to those options rather than to let a union come in and have any mediation whatsoever for employees.
I come from a union family, family members being rather high up in 2 separate unions and I have had many discussions with everyone on this issue and this industry. We will lose everything.
I know I would be the first one to bring legal action against any group of MTs who threated the safety of my job.
Yet you and the other poster fail to cite how in your opinion they did not keep sm
their word. Let's hear it -- cite examples or be quiet. I know that not all companies are all people, and that's fine. I have seen people on here raving about companies that I thought were awful, but I just chalk that up to personal preference/experience and don't post vague remarks saying how rotten the company has been.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.

No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)
