of the individual posting it. Just doesn't sound like a professional first class operation. Sounds low class, cuthroat and sends out red flags. Danger Will Robinson! Payment might be an issue.

Bet you're quite miserable with that tude.

The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
Not offended
Just do not know what original post was in regards to.
you should be offended
Just because your white ancestors had a heart does not negate or excuse what has happened to your native ancestors. Do you speak for all native persons? Do you have to be a native person in order for that remark is offensive to you?
Indian giver (or Indian gift) is a North American English expression used to describe a person who gives something and later wants it back, or something equivalent in return.
The term Indian gift was first referenced in 1765 by Thomas Hutchinson,[1] and Indian giver was first cited in John Russell Bartlett's Dictionary of Americanisms (1860)[2] as Indian giver. When an Indian gives any thing, he expects to receive an equivalent, or to have his gift returned.
The phrase is considered a racial stereotype and is often offensive, as it implies that Native Americans commonly practiced this behavior.
I would have been very offended if I had been
asked if I NEEDED 3 days as well. It's almost as if they are asking if it's really that bad and are you sure you can't come back sooner!! I have never worked for a company that treated their employees like that. In the past when we've had deaths in the family (brother-in-law and both sets of parents)I was always told to take as much time as I needed and not to worry about a thing. Hubby on the other hand had to bring the little folder they print out and give to everyone at the funeral even for his OWN parent's funerals to prove he had been there all because some people in his company had taken time off supposedly for bereavement and didn't have anyone die.
Re above. Sorry to offended MT, but OP is prime

I was not offended by the comment
I have a child who stutters, and I know the problems faced with that difficulty. For her it hasn't been a disability so much  I have had stuttering dictators. Some were great - one I had on a clinic I LOVED b/c he took his time and didn't get rushed. However, I have one on my account now who slurs, whispers, never corrects and is nearly impossible to understand. I know there are issues w/ stuttering and I admire those who have overcome them to become doctors. However, I don't think that gives them any more leeway to be bad dictators than those who don't stutter. As far as being offended, I wasn't - i totally understand the frustration!
I'm more offended by the typos in the ad. nm
Rude answer to a rude post. nm

No Im not offended at all. Just dont want to start a war
/
I wasn't offended, please do not feel bad. sm
I rarely post here because of the nay-sayers and bashers and get a little defensive when I think someone is about to react that way.
If I were you, I would go to the lead directly and ask if you can either go to another ER account or work with you on this. Not every account is for every MT and vice versa. There is a perfect fit for everyone, and Keystrokes works with everyone to find it. Also, I heard there is another ER account about to start, might get your name on their list if you want!
I was not offended or feeling superior.
you meant by your question? Did you mean that you did not know what MTIA was and were asking if DSG made up an organization or if you meant that DSG was pretending to be a member of MTIA and intentionally misdirected people to a different website? Or did you mean something else entirely? Without knowing what you meant by the use of is it a scam, it was difficult to formulate an appropriate response. I am sorry if my reply made you feel inferior. That was not at all my intent, I was simply asking for clarification so as to better address the inquiry.
It is far more likely that whoever designed the website used MTIA.org instead of MTIA.com when creating the link, which I am sure you could have figured out for yourself.
Now I'm offended at your post, where you imply that
a neurosurgeon. Shame on you!! Janitor is derogatory - custodian is respectful and also the politically-correct term these days!
3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm
the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee. Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great. VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform. They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

I'm sure Anne, Sue and Mary are very offended by your comments...NOT!

I am offended by your "nonsense about no work" comment.
I have been with MDI for many years and very much like this company, but the workload on my accounts has been very slow for several months now, and I have multiple accounts. I have not had a full paycheck for months and I work all hours of the day and night, so it is certainly not no work nonsense for me. I am hanging in there because I really like this company, and the workload will surely pick up again after the summer vacations, at least I sure hope so. I can't ever remember such a slow summer, and I am not sure if there is a lack of work or too many people trying to cover it, but there has definitely been a work shortage for quite awhile. This may not be true for all the accounts, may only be on certain accounts, I do not know, I just know that has been my experience, as well as some other MTs I am in contact with. So to when we're out here struggling, for you to say it is nonsense and you smell a troll, especially being fairly new to the company, is really lousy, IMO.
Not being in the 'inner elite circle' I used to be offended
because they were always posting about so-and-so making a kazillion lines and how happy and wonderful for them, and on and on - yeah right, while I would be sitting there struggling with the really bad dictators, losing hundreds of dollars a month doing VR - not even able to make my minimum.
People should not be forced to be social on the job. If you had a private site somewhere for those who do then you would not be offending anyone. Then you could all go warm and fuzzy over each other.
This business is cut-throat in reality, and it seems to me there are always a certain group of MTs who get all the good meaty work, but you always have the people to clean up the garbage.
Not nice to have it thrown in your face.
And she actually seemed offended when I politely declined...geeeesh! nm
alskd
Praying most certainly DOES put food on the table! I am extremely offended by your post.

The people at CardioScribes called us transcribers. I wasn't offended, sm
but I always thought a transcriber was the piece of equipment on my desk. The other poster is right, though -- better than typist .. UGH.
Rude, rude posters
Hope you rude posters find a good fit for you. Don't run down OSi because some of us like them. No problems either and I have 10 years experience. No newbies here like you say. Love the accounts I'm on. Hope the complainers find a good home, but if not, they will be back and on another company's case.
It is so rude to call QA rude because YOU have
been stuck on QA hold for six months!! And the other poster above - if you are getting QA notes and they are including your supervisor, which you imply is not the norm, then YOU are the one responsible. It matters not if you've been an MT for 1 week or 30 years - if your skills are not up to par, they are not up to par. Many MTs get cleared from QA hold within hours or days at most - companies do NOT want to hold you up from producing, nor do they love to waste their $ on MTs on QA hold. You really need a reality check. And no, I am not rude! It is always, always the MTs lacking in skills who get pissed at QA - no form of feedback is acceptable to that type - even sealed with a kiss and a big bow! 
Rude! Recruiter was very rude to me.
She had an attitude right off the bat.
rude
Don't tell someone "get out of the business"... who the h are u?
Weekend work should be optional....... or hire people who want to work for a premium. Forcing people breeds discontent. So there big mouth.
rude rude rude
Those of you who NEVER have a typo cast the first stone.
They were not rude to you because you
took their offer. It is funny you say they charge because they claim they do not.
You are the one being rude.. sm
Your post sounds like deja vu. I'm not the one doing the name calling. I merely stated a fact as I know it. Say what you want. Everyone here knows the truth.
Why be so rude about it?
If you don't have an answer to that question, don't bother to post a reply. It's annoying.
wow, are you rude!
I hope you don't treat your family that way!
I happen to live by myself, and all I know is, I have to be able to make enough money to pay my rent, etc, etc., and I could not make anything with KS. I have MS, and cannot work out in public because people make fun of the way I have to live. So, like I said, walk in MY shoes first before you criticize ME! I have found work again. I have been an MT for 5 years, now, and love doing it, but I need some money to live on.
rude QA
I have been a Transcriptionist for more than 20 years. I was let go from my job at the hospital because of my sons illness. I worked for Medquist but made more money 10 years ago than I did when I got fired for questioning how they calculated their lines.
I started with a company at home in 1/06. I have benefits which are very expensive but the pay is OK. Nothing like the good old page count though.
I have been on full QA for 6 months now. I think it has something to do with the editors getting paid for QA-ing us. I was constantly getting emails in BOLD basically yelling at me. I did complain about it and have treated with respect since.
I think these QA people think we are all from India and have the right to ridicule.
You are very rude - sm
I believe the poster was wanting ANY response, positive or negative, about getting the job or not. No one said they felt they GOT the job. If you take the time to test, and some of the tests are lengthy, they at least should give a response to you, especially if you have tried to contact them, as the OP had obviously done.
There is no reason to have rudeness. Read the post more carefully. You obvious misread it or wanted to misinterpret it.
rude
I did not intend to be rude. It is rather sad to see someone with bright hopes and plans based on not enough information. I have had and friends have had such snow jobs by recruiters that it is difficult to believe anyone any more. This board is populated by honest, hardworking people in a declining, sweatshop industry (I've been around 20 years) and it makes me sad.
Thanks but I'm not being rude. (sm)
There is a lot of information out there from as little as 2-3 weeks ago that he/she might not have come across without doing a search first. So, you see I'm not being rude at all, quite the opposite.
Rude.
The state boards are very inactive.
I'm sorry, I truly don't mean to be rude
And please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that this was a company board where people can (are supposed to?) post their questions about MT companies?
I am far from new to MT, but am new to this website, and I only posted my question after I had already been trying to search in the archives. Did I break protocol?
I don't mean this in a rude way, but
why does this matter? I don't get it.
RUDE. nm

Now that was rude.

RUDE
You are so rude to people. I am glad I do not work for you!!!!!! I feel sorry for your employees. You must be one miserable person, I pity you.
Was not trying to be rude...
And I was not just talking to you giddy pc guru. I was simply trying to say that sometimes there are reasons to which no one knows about and everyone here just automatically thinks the worst about everyone without giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Rude!
this board is nice w/o all the rudeness. why are you so testy? my gosh, if I were moderator of this board, I would ban you for being rude!
Rude QA
The one that nitpicks your work to death, i.e, Quality is more important than Quantity and gets p.....d if you do too much work while first on QA that she has to read. If she gets too much work for her liking, she'll only let you do 2-5 jobs a day. (What the heck...SHE's still getting her full-time paycheck, right?) My friend lasted about a week with her... she had her keep her IM on full-time in case of emergency (SIC) . Acct. specs are an encyclopedia... Half of the time was spent on unpair/demographic work on the accounts... lines?? what's that?? T
You do not have to be rude...
These are legitimate concerns and no one is airing dirty laundry. This is a great company and like some of the posts above, people just want some reassurance.
No need for people to come here? Hope you do not ever need anything...
how rude of you! you could sm
have not been so snippy.
How rude.
I guess some people were not taught if you do not have something nice to say do not say anything.
No wonder they are rude to you
//
Hmm, not trying to be rude, but obviously at
$5.00 an hour compared to 0- no job now I mean is that really realistic? First of all you came off as talking like no one else cared about their quantity if they made a reasonable amount on VR. Just because you cannot hack it does not mean everyone is like you. I make a decent salary and get very good reviews, always. At not even $5.00 hr wage now, why are you defensive about the truth?
You were and are rude. sm
I'm in QA, and I can distinguish between a medical document and an informal online bulletin board. Google the word troll (and know that quotation marks don't work here, sweetheart), and you'll find one called The Grammarian. You're a troll, plain and simple.
how is that rude?
It's not rude! Why not read the archives is not a rude thing to say. It can be helpful, but of course some people would rather be lazy and have things handed to them on a silver platter.
Cut me a break!
