Sorry to be so petty, but a person tries to help another and this is the kind of crap that goes on.
This is the Holiday season and we should at least during this time of the year show a little compassion and kindness towards our co-workers.

QA corrections
If you think they have you mixed up, cut/copy your work to wordpad and put a job # on them, compare that with your QA corrections and see. Call the supervisor on this. NO one should be nitpicking you, I do not know who work with but good luck, some QAs can be relentless for petty stuff.
corrections...sm
Wether it's 1 QA person or more, keep corrections as references because I notice that even QA have their I'm in the mood to correct/type this today... These references will be your weapons. If this QA person/people will not let up, then I hate to say it, but just play the suck it up game until you get off of QA. It may or may not work for you, but I've played the suck it up game until I was off QA with 2 people and, now, as long as I follow the rules, neither one can tell me anything. I'm hoping someone will have better ideas, but good luck if you chose to go this route.
QA Feedback/Corrections
I am so frustrated.. I am just starting a new job/new account and the QA feedback is ridiculous.. I was an English major and know where my punctuation is supposed to go and the QA people keep removing commas were I know there are supposed to be commas. Also they keep removing The from sentences were I know the doctor said The or That. Like The History and instead they have been correcting it with just History and some other little changes that are driving me nuts. I am afraid that in the future these changes are going to go against me or something. Do I say something to the QA people or do I just let it go? I find it really irritating to be slapped down for something I know to be correct.
Try to question QA's corrections....
then you are certainly remembered who you are and picked on!
No, not when she has all those corrections to battle
Sounds like it's a 'too many cooks' situation for you, too, skunko. At a company as huge as the Q, I'm sure there are dozens of MTs in there and (from what I've heard) many newbies, etc., I'm sure quite a few people are overriding the system and changing what is technically correct, which is creating a lot of the chaos you're conscientious enough to clean up.
With regards to racking it up because Skunko gets 0.5 cpl, nah, she can't clean up if she's having to practically rewrite every report that drops into her cue. That's incredibly time consuming just doing it a couple of times a shift, not to mention if it were practically each and every report.
My sympathies, Skunko...I'd be struggling just like you if every report consisted of damage control!
WHAT? Do you have to email all those corrections to all the MTs...
so basically you are only getting paid for 15 lines if you fill in a blank? Do Focus QA people have to listen to the whole report from top to bottom or just jump to the blank? Our company must listen to the whole report. Why have a blank in paragraph 1, QA fills it in, but there are typos and crap in paragraph 3, 4, and 5? Interesting!
You are very lucky: Only 10 corrections in 100 lines? Wow!...sm
Please tell me the company, so that I can switch.
Are the corrections legitimate? If so, maybe you have a few things to learn still..

Corrections: Sorry..'I would NOT call these people SUCKERS.....nm

I have a pretty good list. Any comments/corrections welcome. This is just from
what I have seen over the past few years in terms of growth, size and national accounts.
I put them alphabetical rather than size as I am not 100% on a few. There are 11 instead of 10 too.
This also leaves off a few that only have U.S. Editors with all work done offshore.
If I am missing any, I apologize. These are companies that I have seen at AHIMA, in magazines, on these boards, at AAMT, etc. I am not claiming perfection so I have omitted any, I apologize in advance.

You are doing better than I am. Still waiting...
...on the paycheck. Maybe those 100% gals get the debit cards, and those idjits, like me, who mess up a comma, don't get a debit cardiac?
(Kidding, kidding, antcipating my debit card with high excitement.)
Still waiting on MQ
not getting my hopes up, of course. Happy MT Week!
Still waiting...
I'm still waiting for mine 
Anyone else still waiting for W-2 from DSG?
They said they were sending it out this week. Sure seems SLOW this year.
What are you waiting for? Get out now! nm

I'm still waiting.............SM
for someone to reveal how they know that the account has been lost. There appears to be at least one individual who enjoys starting rumors of QT's demise on this board, and we have survived these rumors before. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. I'm not leaving my job based on what appears to most of us to be pure rumor, at least to the majority of employees. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. Thanks.
You will be waiting until the 15. They
do not process your check the day you send in your time sheet.
waiting...
It would be considerate of them to at least let us know what is going on. They have not said one word about going to VR with any of the accounts. I have been with them for years and it's very unprofessional of them to ignore us and expect us to just sit back and wait until they have work for us to do. Yes it is a slow time of year, but FN has been slow across the boards for the last 8-10 months now, even with picking up new accounts. How does that make sense?
waiting
Why wait that long...would email or call, things get lost and forgotten especially this time of year, at least you would know instead of waiting and wondering...
Waiting here too
impatiently, I might add (LOL) . . . just my personality. I wonder how long it will take to hear back. I know she is busy, but hopefully we'll know soon since she is looking to hire quickly.
I had some trouble with #1 also.
I'm not waiting around for them to get their act together sm
My bills won't wait until they get another account or whatever it is they are planning on doing. My bills aren't tolerating this cut in salary, either. I have to think of me and my family. I have juggled everything as much as I can juggle it and now I am making the decision to get out. I can't stand doing 12 hour days for a bare minimum paycheck.
Also waiting
Yes, I also thought it has been strangely quiet. The first week after the announcement, there were e-mails asking for our input and questions, and now nothing. I hope the early signs of willingness to work with us and keep things that are working don't just die on the vine.
waiting for work
For anybody that has worked with transform..............Have you have experienced this. I have been waiting for work to be asigned to me for four hours. Yes, they asign work to you......................I have been with this company for two weeks. I made a mistake, I put the wrong date of service on a report...............................So I am wondering if this is the reason why my e-mail has not been answered, nor my phone calls, nor AOL messenger. I have not made mistakes with medical words, at least that I know (although I have not gottent a lot of feedback). I have been transcribing in this particular speciality for 7 years, so I don't think I made huge mistakes.
Have anybody experienced this?
I'm waiting for them to take the spaces
xx
Waiting for mine too. sm
Not to scare you, but it took 6 weeks to get my first one. I was shorted on both checks too. Were we supposed to get paid the 15th? They are always late so I do not know.
I have been waiting all night for - sm
someone to say that. I feel better already!
WAITING FOR WORK!!!
In your response to FutureNet. I am currently working for them. It is a good company, easy platform, great people, but I am waiting for work as I type. I think they have over-hired, we are now caught up and out of work. Doesn't pay the bills!
Soon to be in the poor house
Waiting for work
Do you have other accounts with FN? I have four and if work is REALLY low I wait and do work for the other service I am employed with. We have several new accounts coming on and some of them are still in the testing stage. But it is also that time of the year.
Waiting for work
I also have 4 different accounts that I can work on, so running out of work doesn't happen very often for me.
I think it's a yes to all. I use ShortHand. Waiting to be set up for the
s
Thanks! I'm waiting for W2s from Precyse and MQ, as well. nm

Waiting to see what rates are!
Wow, $400 a month is higher than I'm paying now and I thought it was high! I currently pay $340 a month for family but the coverage is very good. I did hear that they have a new rate plan coming in. I will wait to see what I hear from this change. I have to have good insurance. My husband does have some health issues.
One last question....can someone tell me how soon insurance starts when you hire on with Keystrokes? Do you have to wait 3 or 6 months or does it go in effect on Day 1? My current job insurance went into effect Day 1. But they are outsourcing some to India starting this month and I'm afraid we may all be out of jobs soon. Doesn't look good. I may check into the plan to just purchase myself and not have to worry about changing jobs, etc.
Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.

Waiting for Future-Net
About a week ago I received an email from Future-Net stating I had passed all the testing and a recruiter would be contacting me....I am still waiting a week later. Is this normal for them?
TIA
still waiting on my paycheck
this company is a joke
still waiting on my check from TTS
@#$%&
Still waiting for an answer.
I did all my testing and had my phone interview with the recruiter and Jean but have not heard anything back. Last communication was on Monday. They seemed really intrigued as I said I would work 6 hours on Monday and Friday and 4 or more on Saturday and Sunday. Should I call them or just keep waiting? I have lots of experience with ESL's and currently work in an acute setting. Seemed like everything they wanted to hear. How long does the hiring process normally take? Thanks in advance.
still waiting for computer to come
here. Just trying to get some understanding of platform before starting.
Patiently Waiting...
I can tell you that I have applied with nearly 30 places--and I'm starting to regret it!!
I researched each and every company before I applied, so I'm sure that I applied for great companies. But now I'm being bombarded with requests to test and emails and phone calls.
I've had several offers, most of them very promising, so it will be fairly hard to decided.
The downside is that there are still about 15+ companies who stated on their website that it can take a week or two to get that first contact from a recruiter. So if I accept one of these job offers in the next few days, I think I'm still going to be getting bombarded with phone calls and emails and testing requests.
Of course, I'm not complaining in a bad way!! I'd rather have it this way than no phone calls at all. My first response came within 24 hours and I even received a response today from an application that I put in on Monday of this week.
I don't know if any of this answers your questions, but I hope it at least helps you a little...
I'm still waiting on work
this morning but haven't had anything come up for over an hour.
Yes, I did. I was waiting to hear from...
MQ, but so far no word from them. USAMedTran got back to me first, so I accepted the job. They told me I would only need a foot pedal and Microsoft Word. From what I have read, this company is pretty known for hiring newbies or MTs with minimal experience. This is why I applied there. Money is not my biggest priority right now - I am 22-years-old and live at home. I do need any experience I can get though, so I'm hoping this will go okay. If you want to get in touch with me at any time, my email is ericj1985@gmail.com
Do you all believe there is actually a waiting list...sm
to work for this company (if you can even call it that)? I wonder if they pay through PayPal because of the ease of having payments reversed or chargebacks like on eBay. Anyone who has ever sold on ebay knows PayPal has high fees. The MTSO may have more control with PayPal. Does that make sense?
You've been waiting since May?
I think someone needs to get a clue....
I'm on 40+ hrs, but 15-20 waiting for some work. nm
How about WAITING UNTIL THE CALL? sm
Before JUMPING to conclusions?? Holy cow. Unreal. I think it is to announce how well we are doing and talk about all the new work we have.
I am just waiting for my hospital IDs sm
and I can start. Everything else already cleared and I can't wait!!!!!!
Waiting for work
I guess it is just the same with all these companies, but it can be so irritating when your supervisor gives you the morning update on minutes and is thrilled that all accounts are empty and says how great it is. Why do they not understand how distressing this is to the MT?
Just sitting her twiddling my thumbs waiting......
