I agree, sad. It shows how little the average MT

I wish there was an icon that shows cartwheels and pom-poms!! I agree. Why
do not MTs think this is a hobby?
Because no information on your company shows up, you think

The letter said that the STM has the discretion to not let your benes be s/m
affected. I would not take that as gospel in this day and age.
Just shows that there are those they like and those they don't like.
So some will get a card, some will get a gift card, and some will get nothing. Just depends what group you fall in - same with getting good accounts and bad accounts. I wanna be that lucky person who is getting 2000 lines an hour on editing when the rest of us are getting around 150-200.
shows us who you really are
Your post is so demeaning to prospective MTs. People don't just come to this board to complain, they come to check on prospective employers because this is the only way to make sure you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. We don't know anything about a company until we research it. I was supposed to start training with SS in a few weeks, but I have decided that there is no way I will work for SS after this big mess.
I could almost guarantee you only decided to fix the problem when more MTs started showing up demanding answers. If you LOVE giving MTs work and helping them take care of their families then why do you offer them slave wages until they can provide proof that other MTSO are more generous than you are. What do you think about them apples!!! How mature of you.
Which shows what happens if MTs don't stand up for

It shows they know the MT community is onto
less-than-ethical business and employment practices. They want to shut you and all of us up so that we'll go back to our bedrooms and our pink fuzzy slippers, and just keep quietly getting screwed by them. It word were to get out, (say on Oprah perhaps?) they'll all have a LOT of 'splainin' to do. I for one would enjoy watching them all squirm.
in the last month it shows.

WOW your maturity level shows!!

I loved that show (my age shows, too!)
Actually, I see the (self-proclaimed, of course) 'upper crust' more as the MAN on the Green Acres show. In the beginning, he's the one who APPEARED smarter, and who decided to get himself farm. (Not unlike some CEOs who decided to 'buy themselves an MT company...). His boa-wearing wife appeared to be the most unlikely candidate for success on the farm. But in the end, she was happy and successful because she was FLEXIBLE and learned the ways of that offbeat community and funky house (remember how careful she had to be when plugging in household appliances? Some were a '2', some were a '3', etc., and too big a number blew the electrical fuse. The hubby just never caught on.) The husband was never able to cut it, or truly be happy, because he was too RIGID. He expected things to work the way they did in New York, even though this was Hooterville, with its own unique sets of problems and ways of doing things. He was always annoyed and ranting, and his wife happily went about living with their pet pig and the other animals, the quirky house and the quirky town, because she ADAPTED, and she could COMMUNICATE without yelling at people.
I think the top brass at all MTSO companies should rent all the old Green Acres shows they can, and show them at their big fancy meetings. They could learn a lot from Hooterville's favorite, foofy, boa-wearing farmer.
I rest my case. Once again OSi shows how dishonest they are.
This makes me ashamed that I once worked for them, but also makes me glad that I work for a decent, honest company now and do not have to be a part of their BS!!
Can? Well, maybe. Statistics shows the average is much lower. nm

The last line just shows my loyalty and dedication (sm)
to my current employer, but desire to stay in the field of MT via a national company should my previous position not be offered when I return.
I guess it shows how messaging fails even
a messageboard veteran, because I wasn't in the least angry; I just dispute the need to remove all emotion from my life as a preventative measure. I totally agree with doing one's own research and being aware of what's going on in the industry, I just don't think I have to cut off my better emotions to do it, because, for me at least, therein lies cynicism and I've BTDT and that's not the path I want to walk again. Otherwise ITA with most of what you say in both your messages.
Since the apostrophy shows possession, doesn't ...
saying Crohn's disease imply the disease belongs to this guy? If so, that would be incorrect since the disease doesn't belong to him it's just named after him. I think that's the point of leaving the apostropy out, i.e., to avoid implying the disease belongs to a specific person as opposed to the disease just bearing that person's name.

But they go to SO many shows, they're never in the office dealing with any of that! LOL nm

Try googling a line you remember from the ad and see if it shows up that way. NM

The fact that she gave you a check shows that she
is really in trouble and does not have the intention to swindle you out of your money.
Do not approach the client, this swill lead to nothing. The client is not respopnsible to pay you. Talk to her and ask her how long it will soonest take until she can pay. As she goes through a divorce, she should give you a deadline, in a timely manner, when you can cash the check. If she defaults on this date, then take the bounced check to the police.
Another option: If she tells you that it will take a rather long time until she can pay you, then ask for interests on this amount, or you hand it over to the police.
If others read my posts as insulting that shows their
I post what I see as proactive, get her done, dont be a victim encouragment. Strongly put, maybe. But I feel passionatly about this issue and hate to see women letting themselves be vicitms. Engaging in the poor you, you been treated bad, it is so sad, does nothing to encourage them to drag themselves out of the mire and take charge of their lives.

With Webmedx you can hit history button and it shows who has been in that report. (sm)
Of course, there is always the possibility they pulled it up and power went out or the report was a really long one and they had to go pickup kids or something. Though in that case I think they are supposed to put it on hold until they get back.
When I was training I was told if you pull the job up you are expected to type it. I personally do this, but evidently some of those truly horrible audio ones are just too much for some primadonnas.
Wow..you even tested...hmmm. All that shows to me is unprofessional and disorganization.
As much as I hate to get the Dear John, we didn't select you emails, I would rather hear something than nothing. I can handle that kind of rejection but when I waste my time applying, and then they do not even have the common courtesy to respond back on any level. That truly just shows me that I would not work for a company like that. It just gives you a little preview of how they do business.
I agree with this and if any company has more
than one of these problems, I would stay away. I can name a few to stay away from: TransHealth, Spheris, MQ, DSG just to name a very few. Every company I named had at least one of the problems mentioned above, usually more.
agree about her company name.....
it does sound strange: And I Said Yes
Well, excuuuuuuse me if I Just Say No
heh heh heh (Friday yet?)
Agree they are hers not company's
I don't know about elsewhere, but at my last company I was told we were supposed to create our Expanders off the clock so it didn't cut into productivity. You bet your bippy I took them with me - saved them to a file, emailed myself the file, emailed it to my new job, opened them and copied them into my Shorthand. Didn't have to bug tech support about it either. In fact I was encouraged to do so by my new employer. It is NOT stealing when you made them on your own time, it IS your intellectual property, as well as any lists of particular medical terms you have made, etc. You're not taking their program, you're taking YOUR file.
You can get the information by doing a detail on statistics. Shows sign-off time.

Net search shows they had a job ad here in Dec. 2004. Their website is www.pdajc.com. Good

And your post shows that you have absolutely no clue of what it takes to train a new MT!

Phoenix MedCom shows you every report and every line counted,
with Word verification. They use 2 programs,internet for the newer programs, and a word-based program for those on Lanier and Dictaphone. But their programs show the verification of the job and line count no matter which platform you transcribe on. They have two rates...the internet platform pays for spaces, and the other is not with spaces but line rate is higher.
Net search shows ChipSoft Infotech PVT. LTD, at least Indian affiliated, if not

Oh absolutely! I agree 100%. Especially when it comes to my company
the "company who shall not be named"!  Yep, the fabrications that can start flying out on that company are actually funny by the time the flaming thread gets done, but sure must work and scare off a load of MTs, though, actually, by the looks of the new hires, nobody believes them! I think it works against "those" type of posters either way - the extremist cheerleaders and the extremist bashers. They actually do more harm than good for their individual causes, because they sound so NUTS!! 
Yes, I agree. It makes you wonder what this company is really up to.
:
Agree. Terrible company
nm
I agree - the company I work for is doing the same
I wanted to sit down and cry. It was awful and SO BORING!!!! If you find anyone, let me know. This is awful.
I agree that they may not be a legitimate company.
See post my me above in response to internship post.
agree great company

Agree. Great Company.
Very flexible in scheduling as long as you get your lines in. Pay is always on time. Owner is extremely nice. Good pay. Easy software.
I agree! And only a garbage company......sm
would pay QA less than what they are worth. Unfortunately there are quite a few of those! But there are still some good ones out there (although few) that really do care about quality are willing to pay more than secretary wages.
Agree, they are a good company. sm
Pay is always on time, and the platforms are easy. I do have heavy ESLs in my accounts, and problems with running out of work. I think the accounts that have plenty of work are internet accounts.
I agree it is a strange company
I just have to add my 2 cents. I have often thought of Amphion as strange also. It is very strange to me that a transcription company thinks it is perfectly acceptable to keep their entire crew on mandatory OT for 5 months, really without much explanation at all. They act like this is normal behavior. The final straw for me is that they have made the choice to keep all the MTs on mandatory OT (an hour a day extra almost every day FT and PT employees) and take on NEW accounts. On the team I work on, they took on a new account last week and kept us all on mandatory OT. They are hiring and training people like crazy, but why would a company choose to keep their loyal staff on OT for 5 months and take on new clients instead of giving the new hires a chance to get in, get trained, help us get caught up first? They are a very organized company though and send out a job status report every morning. It shows the new accounts and all. Do they think we won't notice they are choosing taking on new clients over giving their MTs a much needed break?
They are all about money and will never say no to a client it seems. They do this without explanation to the MTs, an apology, a bonus or anything. They do say thank you for your dedictation and hard work a lot, but quite honestly, that only goes so far. Yes, they do pay us time and a half for OT, but gosh what about living a life. I have a family!
And by the way ... they expect their work to be perfect as well, even while we are overworked. Their QA is very tight!
Yes indeed, strange company! Amphion does have some good qualities, but in my mind the cons outweigh the pros greatly at this point.
Add me to the list of those from Amphion looking for other employment!
Agree, they are a good company...
Yes, they are a great company to work for, so don't you think they deserve a call instead of this broadcasting? I have been with them for near 3 years. They have always been honest and I don't have to worry one bit that I will receive every dime of my pay.
Please call them, and have the decency to post back that the issue is resolved, at least.
