I agree too. It is VERY nice to feel appreciated!

I agree, it's nice to have that safety net if you can. Thanks for all the feedback!!!
nm
I agree also. Nice post. I'm so sick of asking one question
and getting a lot of really nice educated help and advice and then there are the negative mongers who go way off subject and ream you out for asking questions. What is the deal anyway. I've never seen so many negative people in one area or profession before. Quite honestly, there are some days when I sit here bored out of my mind and then it starts wandering to everything else but work. I find that I pick at stupid things and sometimes I feel like the social isolation is responsible and it starts making you fruity. So, I will just assume when people are attacking others that this job is just getting to them in some way. This is supposed to be a support group. I may not agree with everything I see but I am not going to rip someone apart. Let's stay support and objective. Everyone has something to offer, let's just to it kindly and intelligently.
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.
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Would not surprise me
Immediately after posting a negative but factual comment about a service, I received a fail notice on their test - over two months after I took it.
Any company that assumes such a list is accurate you probably don't want to work with anyway...
Does NOT surprise me with DSG . . .
they really do not care about their MT's, and yes, I too was one of their biggest defenders until they turned on me. I was very hurt by it after all the loyalty and hard work I gave them. They do not appreciate it.
well i may be in for a surprise
but in my year with them, I find them to be very stable, with a consistent workflow. I do have several accounts to draw from, but I'm really surprised some of you have more than a rare problem with this.
It does not surprise me
at all. It is Indian owned and run. Keystrokes has 100% US staff (even tech support is here), and the owner is adamant against offshoring her work. Cardioscribes was probably just trying to avoid holiday pay for the US MTs. You'd think the Mumbai incident a while back would have taught doctor's offices a lesson about that country but I guess not :(
I was also taken by surprise...
but it seemed like a lot more than $30. I took out family coverage on the new insurance and, since they hadn't taken the premium out before, to have it doubled the first time out seemed like a big chunk. To add to it, I just got my card on Saturday. I didn't even know the insurance coverage had started yet! To go back and pay double since June 1st for coverage you didn't even know you had IS quite a blow.
Oh well, two more paychecks to go before we're out of the hole. :)
Would not surprise me in the least. Something is coming not sure what.

Wouldn't surprise me any
If they have "QA to QA the QA'ers," you can bet that each step of the QA-ing will have the QA'ers who are QA-ing the QA-ers who QA the MT finding all the work "they" didn't QA to be crappy QA-ing. LOL
Doesn't surprise me one bit...
same thing they always do...
It wouldn't surprise me at all.
nm
That sure doesn't surprise me. And just think -
if they're willing to commit fraud on such a grand scale, then it's a no-brainer that the people there doing the grunt-work, (and getting shafted paywise in the process, just like we are), are going to look for ways to augment their earnings. Enter the fancy, company-paid-for PC, access to the internet, and access to confidential American information, and you have the potential for fraud and scamming that surpasses what we already know about Nigeria, Pakistan, Cameroon, China, etc.
American businesses are too greedy, they already have more money than they know what to do with, and they are pitifully naiive when it comes to bringing the Third World countries into our corporate systems.
Not yet, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. sm
Have received more than 1 email regarding their attorneys and posting on this board.
Wouldn't surprise me to see that being s/m
1 cent per report. After all...why should you get paid for typing yes over and over. Before someone pounces on me I am definitely being sarcastic but still it wouldn't surprise me the way some of these MTSO suits apparently stay awake at night thinking up new ways to screw MTs.
no raise, no surprise
I think I should have had one a year ago myself, but dared not ask because of the economic situation starting to cave and as bad as I want to ask now, I still feel the timing is not right. So many are struggling just to stay afloat and/or profitable.
What about these surprise situations with Transtech? --
Hard to compare to a normal job, as you are trying to do. When there is no work at TT, they send out emails not to contact the office. Of course, there is no pay, yet we reported to work on time ! These are always surprise situations to TT's at-home employees. Good companies do not treat their employees like this. You report to work and you are not sent home without pay.
TT is not the only company that treats their MT's like this -- but be sure to compare apples to apples !!!
Don't compare us with away-from-home jobs. Ex-MQ'er, your time is coming for being out of work. You are new right now with TT and have nothing to compare to yet.
oh yeah, like that's a big surprise, gals
FN's greed shining thru their friendly facade. Over-cover an account, make sure you don't earn enough, but they sure do. Those of us who tried to warn everyone that they always ran out of work were basically told by posters on this board that we were not given work because we were not good enough and they were phasing us out, which was certainly not the case. They just over-hire. That way, their TAT is met, but the MTs don't earn enough to make a living. And now, the bait and switch of going to VR?!? They've got nerve. Leave the ever-sinking ship; start warming up those resumes and bail out.
It caught me by surprise too -- I'm right there with you. Fortunately, I have a 2nd job sm
so that helps take the sting out a bit. I love the people and love the company, but I do not think maybe they realize what a big shock $30 can be sometimes. To me, the more fair thing to have done would have been to say something like effective next check, we will be taking out double premiums until we catch up or whatever. However, cannot unring a bell.
And I have always been a bit disappointed that they wait until the following Monday to pay us instead of that Friday, but for the most part it is a good company. Seems like all of the MTSOs hang on to their $$$ as long as they can -- guess the interest is better in their pockets than on our paychecks.  I was stupid and am now waiting a month to get paid for work I did for a woman in Virginia. Chalk it up to lesson learned.
Good luck to you (and me!). 
No surprise. We already knew this. Suprised that others are
x
I guess my point was that it wouldn't surprise me if they DON'T know the law. sm
Because of who is in charge of it.
Nothing surprises me with them. Fake it till you make it.
Obvious lack of reading comprehension (no surprise there)
I am not management. I do VR; the term 'these people' refers to those who refuse to even CONSIDER doing VR and would rather jump ship than learn.
Honestly, I wish EVERY account at TT would go to VR to weed out all of those who can't comprehend a simple post. I'm not surprised so many of resist doing VR; the lack of reading comprehension which is vital to VR is obviously missing in many of you.
Sheesh, now I know what my dad meant when he'd refer to someone being 'stubborn as a mule' or 'head as thick as a rock', lol!
It wouldn't surprise me that the co. didnt want to pay extra for something that helps me but coul
:=
This shouldnt be a surprise. The owner herself posts on this forum all the time when KS is attacked
sad but true
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm
xx
I second that. Amphion is nice, nice, nice
that's nice. have a nice weekend.
x
Nice post, thank you and have a nice day. nm
.
Yep! And it's a NICE one, too, for each
full-time referral! The trick there is the new employee has to be meeting their minimum line requirement by 90 days. Good luck!
If you can't say something nice about ... sm
someone/something, don't say anything at all. Then again, I also learned that a "cranky (sic) sailor is a happy sailor" - there is no need for all these people to gripe for no reason except to have their "voice" be heard. Sheesh
Wow, that is so nice of you to say.
I think I know who you are, but please email me tomorrow.
You are such a sweetheart. People like you make my job so much easier. You know, we really try to keep our MT's happy cause Sue and I are MT's and we know what the deal is.
Candy, give me a call or an email tomorrow. That is so nice. MDI has gotten such bad press from this board and you know, I didn't even know how to post and Sue explained it. Duh???
Thanks again,
Liz
they are nice
decent people
She is very nice
I have talked to Jean M. a few times already. I just accepted their offer Friday and wanted to be sure I understood what they had told me. What they told me sounded very good. I am looking forward to starting. They are going to let me work a split shift. I am on evenings now with 2 little boys and it makes it hard.
They were very nice. sm
The two things I did not care for was the unlimited long distance, and their software Bayscribe. Even though it was easy to use, the spellcecker is way too outdated. I did not care for that at all.
Yes..of course..say something nice about OSi
I agree. Based on the writing, wording used, and the same old themes used over and over, it really does seem like the same couple of bitter people complaining about OSi. I don't know what has brought them out of the woodwork all of a sudden. Doesn't really matter to me. I'm happy there. I'm not a newbie, wasn't when I started, and have been there 3 years now. I hope to be there for a long time to come.
WOW, must be nice!!
I have a little over 9 years. 30+ years, way to go!!!
That's nice. They still are not MTs.
x
It would be nice to know what the
for most of the ER MTs and for most of their acute care MTs so we could get a general feel for what can truly be achieved. I have also heard they have several platforms and wonder which ones are the most MT friendly.
Nice try - someone from QA?
LOLOLOLOL
Oh that is so much BS. QA has always been very nice to me. Everybody's nice.
nm
Nice-
It is nice to be appreciated now and then.
Have a nice day to you all! nm
Thanks, that's nice of you (sm)
I figured the KS people would be happy to get the lost IDs back after a fashion. Maybe the 3 people who had to stop last week can start on it again. It's news to me that KS was getting it all, though. But that hospital wasn't up front with us about many things. I hope you all are making good money on it, I couldn't make much money on that platform even with my IT.
I doubt that there will be severance, though. I'm just a little in shock that it was so fast; I figured we'd have another week or so at least. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
Hey, that's not nice. I'm sure they let her off QA
because, after looking at her reports, they see that she knows what she is doing!
Again - not nice!
You have no idea what dictators she got. I was off QA after the first day at my current job. One of the reports I transcribed on my first day I received back with a note about how exceptionally difficult the dictator was, and what a great job I had done. QA had to leave a number of blanks in that one. It was awful. I still got released from QA, because that horrible, terrible dictator gave me a chance to show what I was made of. If I could handle that guy, I could handle anybody, and I do. Maybe you haven't reached the level of experience and competence to be released from QA in very short order, but there are those of us who certainly have. Maybe some day you'll get there. In the meantime you shouldn't insult those of us who have worked so hard to excel in this field.
That's nice to know. Thanks. nm
