They weed out, if you don't have work you can't make production. (sm)
Or are you talking about weeding out quality wise?
Temping is a great way to make contacts,
learn new specialties, and even pick up a permanent job (which happened to me three times). If you have your own clients, temping is also good for extra money if your docs get slow. Best of all, if it doesn't work out, you just walk away. Good luck!
I haven't noticed that.
Frankly all my accounts have been so low that I haven't worked enough to notice a line count difference. Some of my accounts pay more for headers and footers, some don't pay at all. That sounds pretty shady to have a 27% reduction though.
I haven't noticed that.
I have found during interviews and such that most companies are willing to train the right person. Most of these platforms aren't that hard anyway. My current job I trained in 15 minutes. It took a week or two to learn ALL the in's and out's of the program but most of them seem to be similar, IMO.
I've been there for a while and haven't noticed
any changes at all. Did I miss something?
I haven't noticed any changes - except positive ones!
Hi there - We probably know each other, LOL. I have been with Transcend for over five years as well and I love it. I have only noticed positive changes - 401 K match, better communication, etc. E-mail me privately to let me know what changes you are talking about. Thanks and have a great day!
In case you haven't noticed,
offshore MTs are not welcome on this board. You steal our jobs, do crappy transcription, and make the industry look bad. We don't need or want your opinion on it.
Nope, haven't noticed a thing different or unusual. All's well here. nm

I haven't noticed any positive comments about any company
I did search the archives for OSi but didn't see anything recent.
I haven't noticed my computer acting funny
but I don't see why they need a report on what we have on our computer. Can't we just email them the information they need?
The pay cut thing is really bothering me. We already work too hard for what little we make.

Haven't noticed - do you keep track of individual report counts?

From multiple previous posts there is no
set line rate, several variables involved, but most say it is very hard to get lines and pay is low.
you can search previous posts, sm
no complaints here, but some people have had problems, work is there, pay is on time, they pay downtime if work does run out, insurance is good BCBS
If you check my previous posts...
I did explain my experience with them.
Previous posts were deleted (sm)
They were NOT talking about the resumes being fake. Some earlier posts had said they would post some names of applicants for you to ask them what the name of their company was because they weren't revealing their identity. They did list a few names but the post containing the names was soon deleted. So, they were weren't meaning the resumes were fake, they meant that they had listed fake names.
Your previous posts with yelling(& in mind's eye

From previous posts and in my interviewing history,
I am not sure that is correct. Some companies actually do just pay a certain amount per report for QA and it is very low and others pay just for the blank filled in. Pathetic, ain't it.
Look at previous posts here. It's said to be a terrible place to work! nm

Judging from previous posts they are a horrible company.
THey offshore big time. If you'll search the archives you'll find lots on them.
Has anyone else noticed posts being deleted?
I first came to the company board, read the first post, went to the job seekers board, came back to the company board and the first post that I had read was gone ... POOF. It was just a question about a company, not anything ugly at all. Anyone else noticing this recently? 
Has anyone ever noticed how DQS picks up noise terribly in the background. Doesnt make my life any
easier trying to hear the dictator.
I just do it to make sure I haven't missed a job # when there's
nm.
Years ago posts said they were extremely picky & hard to work for. Haven't
s
I haven't even tried to make my line count
for MONTHS. I know the work load has been low and I have some accounts of my own that I can do, so I have done my own accounts and not even touched MDI. Kinda hoping I won't get yelled at for not meeting my quota but I figure I'll just hang in the background and work when the work is there, and when it is light let the other MTs who don't have anything else to fall back on have it.
Now if my own accounts slow down I will be in trouble...
Posts like these just make me want to
My teens insist posts like these are just cleverly-disguised troll posts, designed to inflame the board. Sadly, I don't think so. I honestly think many MTs are just totally completely you-fill-in-the-blank. Its disgusting. WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY? I don't know the company, but have read the problems for weeks and months on this board, and obviously so have you, and you call late paychecks - and we're not talking a day here - late paychecks HOOPLA, and on top of the other major serious problems with the company, which again you have read, YOU WANT TO WORK FOR THEM?? Sick. Go work for them, and then don't clog up this forum with your hysterical whines when you don't get paid or don't have work or don't have a company or don't have whatever you are looking for by taking a loser job. Sheesh. When does this end?
Oh please, if you weed through the BS resumes
potential candidate! I was a recruiter for about 4 years and you should be able to read a resume in about 30 seconds before you want to consider that candidate.
As you can see from posts below, new hires make more than I do. nm
your posts always make me laugh.
.
These posts make me laugh. I don't SM
have time to put a target on someone's back and I doubt anyone else doing this job does either. Many of us have a production quota to meet, just like you do. Do you really think I am going to slow down my production so I can gather my peers to develop a strategy to make your life miserable? 
Couple of posts above it was 4 new accounts, now it's 20? Make up your
mind!
Your posts make me want to jump on the bandwagon...sm
and go to work for Proveros! If everybody who works there has your attitude, I'd sell pencils on the corner before I would even speak to a recruiter! CHILL OUT!
Your posts make my eyes bleed -
*
I don't understand why people make posts
telling people to stop whining. Isn't that the whole purpose? We work remotely and as a result we need this catalyst to communicate with one and other. If you don't like people venting then YOU should stay off!!
Companies use them to weed out fakes. I'm not sure helpful
xx
No but it is my job to weed out applicants based on their resumes. sm
I cannot speak for Keystrokes, but I doubt any company would hire you with typos. This is in any industry, but especially in transcription. This is one of the first things you are told when you are looking for a job. I learned that back in college, and I was an engineering major, not anything to do with transcription.
I work for a company that is much larger than Keystrokes, and if they get half the garbage we get in resumes, they are definitely frustrated. I know I am!
Same ole story - overhire then weed out. Best move...sm
on before this gets to be a pattern. Might be a good company in some minds, but when it's not paying your bills how great is it, really?
In their ad it says 7.4-8.5 cpl, but contacts have said they start everyone off low. nm

Resume/Contacts
I posted mine in May of 2005 and am still getting calls, even got one today...
No everyone can see with glasses and/or contacts
I wore both for years, did not mind either one but then in about the first of 2000 got to where I could not find glasses or contacts either one that would give me satisfactory eyesight. I tried really because I hated to think about having my eyes operated on. I had no choice because I could not see the BIG GREEN FREEWAY signs. I had Lasik because that was my only option.
6 cpl - If anyone contacts them, let us know what "experienced" means to them. nm

Very neg. posts about TH - running out of work, getting nasty when you don't make your lines. TC
s
Your posts make absolutely no sense. Glad I dont
x
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Who are the contacts for this job? Beware of ANY NEW company in Illinois. NM

DOL CONTACTS TO REPORT FOCUS/NUANCE
Hello,
Whenever an employer requires you to work a certain schedule or attend a mandatory training, they are are absolutely required to pay you a minimum wage. Period.
Long story short, I was in the same boat and contacted DOL a few months back. With regards to Nuance/Focus, a company located near Boston, MA, here is the DOL office to contact regarding the issue of not getting paid properly:
US DEPT OF LABOR
WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION
JFK FEDERAL BUILDING
Room 525
Boston, MA 02203
Phone: 617-624-6715 or 617-624-6700
Persons to speak to:
Mr. Paul Sullivan (not sure of his title)
Mr. Robert Lang, ( I think his title is Assistant District Director).
Posts on pg 2 here and lots at bottom of page 3 make them kind of iffy. nm

Older posts about them have the MTs bouncing from acct to acct and not being able to make

Previous employee
The pay is HORRIBLE!!!!
previous message said, you have
to go their to train, etc.
I should have said, you have to go there to train, etc. I think that is what the sheesh was about.
I did for about a day at one of my previous jobs. sm
My employer insisted on having it installed even though I already had cable internet. It was SO slow, unbelievably slow. I had to wait for the typing to catch up. If it's the only thing you can get, that's one thing -- but if you can get DSL or cable, don't do ISDN. A couple girls at my previous job still have it out of necessity, but I hated it.
