For the OP - GP - Re the Offensive Posts - SM
Posted By: Quick Question on 2009-08-09
In Reply to: I saw this posted some time ago and thought then, hmmm, not a good idea - Bad moves
Are they still posted? Now I am curious. Honestly, on this company forum, everyone gets heated, it is not just one person or one company, that is why we come here, we communicate our experiences - good and bad - it seems like they'd almost have to shut down the board to not offend or anger someone. Everyone has an opinion - what exactly is considered a libelous post on these forums in the eyes of the court? I'd love some clarity! Maybe it's a case by case thing, but it seems if people are going to be getting sued for what they post here, there should be some guidelines - though not sure if it's up to MT Stars to provide those guidelines, it could be our responsibility (which is what I tend to think). Bah, what do I know!!

Tips for Handling Offensive Posts -- SM
If you find a post offensive:
Read a post that offends you? Make sure you think about what is upsetting about it. Is it personally upsetting or is it against posting guidelines?
If it is just upsetting for you, my advice: Ignore it. Don't respond. If you respond, you are feeding that opinion and it will more than likely incur another post, etc.
If it is against posting guidelines, report it using the REPORT THIS MESSAGE button. Or, copy the URL and send to me in an email (cher@mtstars.com).
Remember, that just because you dislike a post does not warrant its removal. You must be responsible for what you read and post for yourself. If a certain poster gets under your skin, don't read his/her posts. Just ignore those posts. Don't allow yourself to be drawn into a tit-for-tat argument that ends up getting you into trouble along with others. Be responsible for yourself.

Not to be offensive, but ....
maybe you were just perceiving it as rude because you can't take constructive criticism or something? I'm not a perfect txer but I have never been pinged on any of my work, nor received any feedback, especially none that was rude, nor has anyone in the admin been anything but nice to me and to others I have referred to ES.
it was nothing offensive...sm
I can't remember the date of her first post, but she signed herself as mt. She was just someone who was letting us know that the company she worked for was good to her and wanted to share that with us. She posted again on 07/29 asking why it was deleted. I didn't give her a negative response, but both postings are gone. Unless I'm becoming blind, but like I said, her question and my response were only from 07/29.
Offensive comments
Esther, I was born to a Jewish family as well, and I hate any kind of ignorant, anti-Semitic comments. I did not see the original post or forum but I can tell you, I would have been steamed.
I agree that comment is very offensive!

I find it kind of offensive--
--your referring to third world countries as Turd World. It just smacks of looney-tune right-wing radio talk. I actually was enjoying your conspiracy theories on Spheris until you said that.
At the risk of sounding offensive
You must be doing something wrong. Admittedly, every opening posted gets probably 100 applicants, but they are still hiring good people. I hated the job I had, applied/tested/interviewed for one that sounded good, and got that at 9 cpl. I wanted some easy typing, so I applied/tested/interviewed for another one, similar to the one the OP is looking for and got that one for 8.5 cpl.
Of course, now that the company has read that they can find chumps to sit and type it for 7 cpl, my job security may be out the window. Of course, the same people that will screw their fellow American MTs out of work by working for that amount will be the first ones on here crying about how they lost their account because it got sent offshore just to save a few pennies.
not offensive - the original post WAS racist......
I find your post embarrassing and offensive as well.

If you find the original post so offensive, why did you respond at all?
Why don't you get a clue? A good number of people enjoyed this. If you dislike it, you can just move on to some rosy-happy-fun filled post and leave the rest of us to chuckle without being harassed.
Really offensive, what black people will only work for the bottom of the barrel?
should be ashamed
That's a horribly offensive term. I wouldn't compare some drama

Interjecting a point of view is fine, but if you find it offensive...sm
people bash their companies, how about people who bash other people and taunt them by posting ridiculous statements about dark evil forces and then give you the Tony Robbins about how they should live you life.
I am a little tired of people saying blowing sunshine out my a$$ is going to pay my bills when work is sparse, wages are being cut by 1/3 to 1/2, and insurance is eating up almost half my paycheck.
I am an adult, I don't need to grow up and look on the bright side, and I don't need to bend over and take it anymore. I need to stand up to the CEOs, COOs, CFOs, department managers, supervisors, recruiters, and company acquisition specialists and tell them that my job is every bit as valuable and technical as theirs is.
They're not sitting in meetings all day groveling about how bad the economy is and how lucky they are to have jobs. They are capitalizing on a bunch of people by forcing their wages down and then saying it is their own fault because there was a typo in a report or transcriptionists in VietNam can do their job just as well and for less.
That is the truth.
Posts from April said everyone gets 8.5 cpl/newbie or experienced. Recent posts said

A few posts about them about 3/4 of the way down this page between the DSG & Diskriter posts. nm

There have been several posts about the WI
one about MTs not getting paid. That would be all I needed to know.
Just because someone posts...sm
something positive about a company it doesn't mean they're in management. Think about it this way - if people were really as unhappy as they claim on these boards with any company they're working for then they'd be out getting another job - because whining here isn't going to change a thing. Remember that one person's opinion doesn't represent everyone that works at any place - regardless of the industry. The only way people effectively complain is by talking to management along with ideas to solve whatever problems they're complaining about. That's true anywhere - regardless of whether you work at the local grocery store, bank, this industry or any type of job.
There are plenty of people at Transcend who have been on the new platform for several months now and they love it. Instead of basiclly calling them liars or presuming they're in management why not get on the internal forum and ask them about their experiences in learning the new system. The same would be true at any company.
Do you believe everything in these posts?!
People can write ANYTHING on here. There are some really hateful MTs who just want to cause problems and make others miserable.
I wouldn't take anything on this board for gospel truth, period! It's fun reading and sometimes can make you think about something but I would NEVER use it as reference or as a guide for my thinking about MQ or any other company! Please don't be upset by posts by God-only-knows-who with who-knows truth to them!
see the other posts
where it is explained. Pt in a nutshell is anything under 39 scheduled hours. Now you have to decide, do i committ to 8, 16 or 24 hour weekschedule?? Floating around when you want to is no more. But it doesn't say what to do ifyou sign up for 16 and want to do 20. You have to ask them that. It does specify that OT is more than 40 hours a week.
oh. ok. thanx. someone else posts as you
on MQ board and posts as if they work for them too, blasting everyone. just curious. thanx.
I can't believe the posts below,
the poster is just venting. A good stress relief. Why so irritable with each other.
There are still posts
If you archive there are still posts about them on here so I am not sure about what you meant by that. I do think they discourage from posting on boards but if it is anonymous no way they would know who did it. They want you to take things up with them directly but getting communication from them sometimes is like pulling teeth.
This is regarding those posts below....
I don't see what all the fuss is about, I heard back from them today and I'm all set to go! There was about a two period where I didn't hear from them either and it turned out that they were moving from one office to another. I say just be patient and persistent.
Not JLG but there were some posts further down or
now maybe on second page regarding their platform. You might want to either scroll down or go over to the second page

I always look through this board's posts when I am looking for a position. I have mostly found it to be helpful. There are a few occasions when I have read posts by an angry poster to let others know about their experience and I think that is very, very important, but would like the anger and rant left out. I have noticed that more positives and defending comments appear to be from from recruiters and others in management than from MTs.
That much??!!?? LOL! See below posts.

Where did the QT posts go?
It is funny that a company that has nothing to hide is removing posts. Why are these being removed?
I have been following your posts and...
i think you made a wise decision. you can email if you want.
where did those posts go
I came out to review the old posts on TT line count and they were all gone. What happened to them?
see posts below

There have been several posts about them
the last month - all bad. They are an Indian run company. I don't remember the other details, but there was not one good comment about them.
Why do all of the OSI posts
Other company posts are not removed. What, are people not allowed to know what OSI's record is? This is simply not fair to people in need of a job and fall for the OSi promise only to be taken by them. Please explain to everyone the reason for the post removal. Thank you.
and i e/m'd them already re the posts.

old posts
I know how to do a search, but my question is WHY???? Why do you feel it was pertinent to my question, which you did not answer. I was asking about an ongoing monthly charge and not a deposit.
There were posts saying
management was not liking the yahoo group too much although someone said management was posting. Maybe it's locked.
And I keep seeing posts about how they pay
so well - Ha. Their accounts are horrible and at 7 cpl you'll starve or go crazy.
Sorry, I'm still not sure which posts they are. sm
If none of those conditions were present, then perhaps it was just a server error.
If that is the case, there's not much we can do about it, so please do post them again.
Does anybody who posts on here ever have
a company they would just like to stay with for the long-term? This is a question which has been bugging me lately about these company and main board forums.
I personally worked for a hospital for many years, which downsized. Went through 2 years working for a service which fooled with my line count and benefits, and when I left there last year, I had a hard very year with services in one way or another not keeping promises. Now I have finally found a position where I can say I plan to just stay put. No it is not perfect. Yes, the work runs low. But there has to come a time to put that resume to rest.
Is there anybody else out there who is deciding to do the same? I am not looking for pollyanna answers. Just another line of questioning on this board got me to thinking.
We are always complaining about how bad the pay is, how things are outsourced, how things are not the way they used to be in this business. I agree with all those things. But I say I still have a job where as many are jobless in our country today. I say I still have the ability to pay my bills. No we don't eat out anymore. But with this job I don't pay for daycare, I can participate in school field trips, and I can take a nap now and then without any penalty to my career. I also don't worry about gas prices.
Post negative comments here if you wish. Put in good ones. I just want to see if I am the only one on this board in the last 6 months at least who has finally decided to count blessings and keep my job and quit looking!
See my posts below nm

I have seen several posts that are quite
negative, however, I think it must be the account and/or manager you have. I work there and love my job once again. Good communication, 1 account, flexible.
Neither will I. What I am saying is that everyone can see these posts (sm)
I am not happy with American companies who offshore and I will not work for them. But I don't think it is right to insult an entire country over it. Be angry at the companies in the US who know better but do it anyway. Not the innocent people in other countries who work for them.
What's with all of your rah rah posts?
I've been with Webmedx a long time. I like the company and I DO find it believable that the recruiter would be honest with someone who described a situation of being a sole supporter of their children. That's a plus, capiche?
I've been sitting here reading lots of your posts and thinking you're not on even keel here. Like I said, I've been with Webmedx a long time and like the company, but some people ARE having very real problems. It's not that they don't do acute care, aren't willing to do ESLs, etc. You're painting everything with a very broad brush and I'm finding your posts don't ring true. I'm with the company because overall they're the best out there, but they are far from being perfect. Some employees are running out of work. Some are struggling to meet their line counts. Some ask for extra accounts and are told nothing is available.
My suggestion to you would be to get a little humility and realize that your situation is not that of everyone else. Quit shooting down people and suggesting they're lying just because they're having a different experience than you. I've been here long enough to see that there are many different boats afloat and the view looks different depending on which boat you're in. And it's not necessarily simple or even possible to change boats at Webmedx.
Rah rah posts
Again, you are being presumptive in assuming that perhaps some people DO NOT have any work, and again being presumptive by assuming it is because they don't want to do ESLs or different accounts. I haven't read a post so far that implies or suggests the poster no longer works here. Yes, please count your blessings, because someday soon you may not feel so blessed anymore.
there are many posts
on this subject. As an IC, the employer cannot !! make you have set hours. Contact the labor board.
I am with MDI-MD, who hires SE (they pay part of taxes) and we have a 24-hour window. There are others with a 24-hour window too, tho i cannot remember which ones right now.
Where are the posts???
Can someone tell me why all the threads that had to do with the job posted for the $25 per audio hour Transcriptionist has been deleted? Makes no sense to me.
Posts about job ads (sm)
We want job ads placed on the Job Seekers board. There may be individuals who need those positions. If you personally disagree, that is one thing but we are not go have posters being ugly about those who are offering jobs. Not every person feels the same way about these jobs.

Did you look at the posts about 3 or so

where did the other posts go under this?

If you don't like the posts about MDI
skip over them. Is your thumb broken? Can't you use your mouse?
See posts below
This topic was already beaten to death yesterday.
As someone already stated in reply, the cuts are not for every transcriptionist.
It would be great if people would quit spouting off half-truths all over the place just to get others all riled up.
2 posts
To respond to the above post asking if I was responding to 2 posts, I indeed was. Also, a compnay does not have to tell you what their pay scales are from lowest to highest for any given position - they only have to tell you what your position's pay scale will be. It is none of your business what any other employee is making - from editor, to MT, to VR editor, to VR MT, etc. Each position may have a different pay scale and if you do not qualify for that position with the pay scale you like, then oh well, such is life.
