beginning. More will come. Ever since Philips took over it has been one thing after the other. Do you really think it will stop now. Give me a break. They do these things little by little. Did you ever notice. That way they can be ready when a lot quit. If Amherst is any clue to how things are going to be run throughout MQ I guarantee you there will be a lot of MTs leaving MQ.

LOL, I agree! Some of these people are scary. nm

Agree also. Take care of the people sm
who are already with you before taking care of brand new people.
totally agree - nice people though -nm

Also agree, but I think the rude QA people mentioned are gone. nm

I agree 100%. You people have absolutely no idea
of this person's capacity for selflessness and generosity, to the point of putting herself last in an effort to achieve many goals and in the face of adversities I wouldn't wish on the harshest critics here (although youse guys are tempting me!). If you didn't cut with through her, there is a reason for that and I know her employer cuts to the chase much more deftly than you would be able to withstand so I know she backs this recruiter 100%. They both can run circles around you. You have no idea how tightly knit some MTSOs are and the ones here bad mouthing this person won't stand a chance getting a job in certain places if their lives depended on it.
Go sell crazy somewhere else.
I agree 100%. People should know better, but those of us are who loyal will remain so.

agree - most people only have good things to say about MDI-MD

I agree. I mean I realize you have to have some idea what people are doing
because of the work that has to be done but not to this extent. You are right, I might as well be an employee somewhere. She doesnt hire employees just IC so I expect she feels a need to rule them like that or she has a problem with controlling people. It almost seems like that. There are other vendors on the account so maybe it is greed to keep pushing and pushing to get as much as she can. Who knows.
I would say most here would not agree with you that people from India get all their words right
You must have a very limited amount of people from India you do. I have an onslaught every day I work and most fracture the English language. I am sure probably 99.9% of MTers on here would disagree with that statement.
I agree. I think the reason why people crab about not
just as with many other companies, TT has trouble trying to hire for overnight, 2nd, 3rd shifts, and weekends. People want day, so TT hires them for day. But it is a 24-hour 7 day business and the docs generally dictate in the afternoon or late evening for the work they did that day and for the preadmissions for the next day, or emergencies. A long time ago when I worked in house I realized that working a different shift than everyone else would benefit me pay-wise, and work-wise, and now since I am at home, TT has worked with me to have a great schedule. Why great? I am flexible enough to work when other people are not willing to work, and TT appreciates that so in return they allow me to split my time working so I do have time to be with my family. The MTs who want day and only day, no weekends, etc. I am not blaming them, but that is where the work is eaten up by everyone else not willing to flex. Any company whether IC, SE, or Employee will have the same problem. Sorry such a long note, but I have not run out of work at the odd hours, and I don't believe that I will.
I agree, plus this affects people who don't work for
the state of the transcription industry.
I agree. Its a necessary evil. They exploit people who need insurance.
I work three jobs.. two in transcription and one doing insurance billing for a private physician. It is crazy how much the cost of medicine is and how bad insurance companies are gouging people. 
I agree. Have people not learned its always slow after a holiday?!

Agree to point, but people need samples and also ability
xx
I soooooo agree with you! Their tech people are some odd ducks!! They never help me! nm

I wonder what the quality of the work is like adding all those people to accounts. I agree. They
will lose accounts this way and MTs will move on. No one is going to sit around and make no money and then have QA breathing down your neck when you are thrown into all these accounts. So no one listens in New York. What is the problem with them.
I agree. And black list or no, intelligent people take information
.
I try to be kind and give people the benefit of the doubt, but I have to agree. sm
It all sounds like a bunch of hooey. My ex husband used to tell lies when the truth would have worked better. Perhaps she is related to him. 
I cannot believe any MT would not know at least the most important aspects of the BOS. True, with some accounts, you ignore the BOS and do it however the client wants it, but still, you should KNOW the rules.
Maybe I'll just put out a shingle and call myself a lawyer. Of course, I know nothing about the law ... but maybe that shouldn't be a problem. 
I agree also. Keystrokes is a wonderful company with very, very nice and helpful people. I would
like much more work, at least 12,000 lines each pay period.
I kinda agree. I enjoy working at TT, but this kind of "overkill" is why people sm
get tired of us talking so much on here. Every place I have ever worked has always paid early if the pay day fell on a holiday. Granted, they do not have to, and it is a nice and considerate thing to do, but hardly so much so as to make me want to burst into a chorus of Go Tell It On the Mountain. lol
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?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
I agree, absolutely agree
and I might say, this is keeping updated in ALLLL specialities and subspecialities, drugs, instruments, and on and on. It is not a good profession for sure and sadly it is the MTs who are being very definitely HAD
Because people like you come on this
because you don't have any problems with MDI then no one else possibly could either. I'm really glad your experience has been so positive. I'm not saying mine has been bad but there are issues at management level whether you want to believe it or not. Have you read any of these posts? Does that answer your question?
Who are these people?
I'm not sure who the devil-nurse is but I know who the current manager is. Who is the first one you mentioned? Her initials are okay if you care to answer.
some people
not only is she too young to read the newspaper to find out about the divorce rate and many people maintain relationships with their exhusband she also can't take a joke and is plain crazy and mean to boot.
Probably not seeing that a lot of people are having
nm
I think on the people on DQS yes.
:
How can you sit there and lie to these people?!!!!!
ROFLMAO!!!
Okay, former OSI people!
the OSi management person is who is in here doing damage control/cheerleading under the name "Happy OSI-er"??
Is it PD, MB, Flossie, or one of the lower level cronies that they put up to it? My guess is that it's Flossie, but it could be any of them.
Could they be any more transparent?
Uh...what? Like I said, I wonder some of the people
absolutely nm
I have never met so many people in SM
one field who have anger problems, personality problems, severe mental illness, you name it. They are drawn to this field like flies.
That the people who do your QA
I always change inappropriate things. Yet, if I do have to send a report to QA they change it back to "verbatim" and deduct me. That is NUTS. If you know it is a "she" and not a "he" verbatim is out the window as far as I am concerned. Some QA people need to get a life. We MTs take our jobs seriously. 
that is how most people pay
It depends on what you call making money. You get paid, so you would make money.
People PC
Thanks for the info.

I just can't believe people sometimes - sm
I am not pro-MT or pro-MTSO. I am a person who tries to treat people fairly and wants to be treated fairly myself.
To the person who got fired: Why in heaven's name would a company keep someone who makes errors, apparently consistently, takes off at the last minute and has problems? The bottom line is THEIR credibility suffers for your actions and they are a business. I'm sure everyone is sorry your are having problems in your life but come on! How long is someone supposed to wait around until you get your life together? You really expected that? You said, they knew I was having problems and that things would turn around? Say what???!!!!
Like I said, sorry you are having problems in your life but the world still goes on. The place you worked for very well could have said they don't want work produced by you. Why would they? By your own admission, there were errors, glaring enough that the MTSO and the place you typed for couldn't take a chance with you anymore.
This is what's wrong with the world today. Everyone wants not just a second chance, but a 3rd, 4th, etc. Let me say that no one can put up with mistake after mistake in a MEDICAL report. It just can't happen, no matter what the reason. While I'd be upset if this happened to me, I'd realize it was my own fault and take responsibility for it. Why blame the company for your actions? Get your act together and if you are as good as you think you are, you will surely find something else.
I have to wonder what it is about these people that
make this observation about V. I have known and worked with her and have followed her career and she is one of the best MTs, QA persons, knows-about-the-MT-business world people I've known (and I've known her for 10 years). I also know she has solid backing from a number (not just 1 or 2) of well-known MTSOs and she would not have that if these allegations were true. I doubt those who put her down will find jobs with several of those MTSOs because of their loyalty to her. Her dedication to this profession cannot be questioned unless it is by someone who comes across poorly, IMO.
WOW I can't believe people would lie about that
I mean, do they not think that they might get caught when they actually start to work? Crazy, but it gave me a good laugh.
