What the heck does this stuff mean and how is it relevant to doing MT work for Spheris?
I am SOOOOO confused...

I am completely and utterly confused. When did I
bash?
They're completely lost all of the respect I had for them
They always stood for honesty and integrity in an employer in my book.
Now that book has just been thrown onto the fire.
Best of luck to them on D's new money-making merget. Perhaps she'll make Fortune 500 or Forbes one day.
But she'll do it sans THIS loyal MDIer.
I'm outta here faster than MJ's doctor fleeing the scene.
I'm giving them exactly the respect and common decency they gave me.
Buh-bye, MDI!!!!!!
I am utterly RELIEVED I didn't take a job with them!

I am utterly speechless, Tonya. sm
I am so stunned that I honestly don't even know how to respond in a kind or constructive way. I usually just pass up annoying posts, but this one (TONYA's) seriously should be removed from the board completely.
First of all,Tonya, you can't even tell from the original post that this lady had any negative issues with this company until YOU aired it all out for all to read, which you were specifically asked not to do. The OP asked for privacy and you totally disrespected her. Why would you do that?? Do you not realize that her job could be in jeopardy because of what YOU have done here? Do you even care or are you too busy trying to rack up brownie points by naming each and every co-worker, who should equally feel violated??
I'm appalled and almost feel guilty for even reading your childish jibberish. I feel like I eavesdropped on a private conversation.
YOU dear are the one that looks silly, immature, and worst of all, not one to be trusted. I'm really embarrassed for you. People like you make me glad I work at home.
At the very least, you owe your company (that YOU shined a negative light on), co-workers, and most of all, Ruth a huge apology.
If I offended you, it wasn't intentional. I was honestly as nice as I could be given the circumstances.
Go spread your lies somewhere else. This is utterly false. sm
There are three people who do the training, and it is very thorough. How would you know anything about the owner? First of all, it is they not she. Secondly, I have worked at KS for 3 years and have never had any contact with either of them.
I am training to be a lead transcriptionist, so I have talked to a lot of managers, other leads and transcriptionists. All are very busy, and the accounts are not overstaffed. Every one of the more than 20 people I have been in contact with are very happy.
There have been no accounts lost in the past several years. If you were really an employee, you would know that no one has pulled an account and that there are new accounts constantly.
Broken promises? Very vague, don't you think? The employee book spells everything out. There are no secrets.
Either they let you go for one reason or another and your are bitter or you were never hired.
I think that Keystrokes is the most improved company I have ever seen discussed here or on other boards. They did have problems when they started but those are in the past. Current employees are either happy or being worked with to make them happy.
I am looking forward to being a lead and to staying with Keystrokes as long as they will have me.
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week. No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie. The account is gone, please look for new jobs
I am not completely sure about this,
but I think in India and in general in the 3rd world countries not every doctor dictates typed reports. I can image that they just keep their handwritten notes.
Correct me if I am wrong on this.
They need to have Deb retire completely
and have no contact with anyone they put in her place. She hates the world and passes her personal dislikes and vendettas down to everyone else. She has no management skills, no people skills, and operates like she has a mixmaster in her hands at all times.
Agree completely. nm

Agree completely
For all the work you do filling in the demographics and NOT getting paid for the header or footer, NO THEY DO NOT PAY WELL.
completely agree...(sm)
You'd be wise to jump on that one in a hurry!
to be completely honest
Alot of people on this board do not have a life outside of MT'ing, home all the time, not around humans much, antisocial, and that makes for deep seeded anger/cabin fever and frustration that comes out the only way it can...through this board.
Completely true!
What a great post!
Is anyone completely satisfied with their job?
I don't want to be a job hopper, but what is up with these companies???
They offer one thing and then completely turn around and do another (only after being employed for a month or so)----
You will be completely satisfied and productive on one account and completely out of nowhere they switch on you, throw you on a new account (when they said they wouldn't because they like to see their MTs productive).
I get my Expanders and macros set up ...and BOOM... new account.
Then there you are learning new account specifics with a bunch of crappy dictators---It feels as if you are starting all over again with a new company.
Can you ever be really happy? I am not asking for specific company names here. I am just wondering since changing jobs 3 times since leaving MQ THIS YEAR if all of the companies are like this. Maybe I just jinx myself by getting happy and excited and telling people how great this new company is. lol.
It is not just the switching of the accounts.. it is the IC companies that start out to be 24 hour TAT and then ask you for a schedule after working for a couple of weeks (even when you are getting your required lines in). Or the companies that even though they are IC and you did give them a schedule expect you to log on any time of the day to work. AGGGHHHH.
I get that this is the business..and I don't want days filled with glorious dictators and simple work (I know that is not possible). I would just like to be left in ONE PLACE for once with a primary account that doesn't get switched for no reason and get my work back as agreed upon! Hey throw all of the horrid ESLs you want at me on the account... just leave me be! lol. Seriously.
I just cannot be productive working like this.
I completely agree also
I don't even work for OSI, but people who do work there (or at any company for that matter) should be able post whatever they want. If you don't want to hear about it, then don't read the posts. Some people actually find it very informative in case they ever need or want to look for a new company. This way people can be well-informed about other's experiences with the company. Again, if you don't want to read more about it, then just simply ignore the posts.There is no need to tell people what they can and cannot post about on this site.
Agree......but not completely.....
I agree with the concern that work is going to companies overseas that do not comply with US standards (either HIPAA or financial), but, at least SPI owns the companies in India and the Philippines - with the corporate office being based in Manila. I cannot even imagine the companies MQ or Spheris uses for outsourcing.
agree completely
nm
Completely agree
I totally agree. You do need to call the office if you are experiencing this, and I am very sure they will do something to fix it. My lead MT has been GREAT. She has answered any questions that I have had immediately, and I am otherwise left alone to do my work, which I love. I am able to get a very high line count everyday, and my lead MT keeps telling me what a great job I am doing. I wish I had found Keystrokes a long time ago. They are the best in my opinion.
Completely agree
I have been with Keystrokes for a month now and couldn't be happier. I get awesome line counts every day and my lead MT is so nice and always very helpful. I was very pleasantly surprised when my very first pay check was direct deposited right on time and it was for the exact amount that I had calculated at the end of the pay period. My fiance is also about to start there, but he has been waiting for about 3 weeks since he got his equipment to get set up, but hopefully it will be today. I am on an ER account and never run out of work and there are not even any ESLs! I work on ExText and LOVE it. It is probably the easiest and most efficient platform I have used in a long time, but they do have other platforms on different accounts, which I hear are just as good. I hope to work there for many years to come!
That is completely true
The platform is all up to the hospitals and clinics. The company just goes along with what the client wants to use for a platform.
I completely agree!!!!!!
What a pain in the a**!!!!
IMO, it's completely relative. sm
I have an account in Cquence which felt cumbersome at first, but then I got comfortable and produce as much there as I do typing, say, in Word offline. Recently I started a Meditech account and...hey! Cquence is absolutely wonderful compared to Meditech!! So my opinion of Cquence has gone up, for sure.
That is completely untrue.
MANY of their accounts are still on Lanier. I should know. I'm on one of them. As a matter of fact, at least six clients are still on there, if not more.
There are e-mails from the owner daily asking people to stretch. There are demands for weekend work STILL. The recruiter has been know to say that SHE is the one true authority on QA, often defying what both the client profile and the QA feedback say.
I'm curious if you're just trying to keep people from knowing the truth, as people are leaving in an almost a mass exodus. Damage control, perhaps?
I completely agree with everything you just said! sm
However, the one thing irritating me is the reduction in pay. In 1999, I was making 31K year salary. Now, salaried, I am making 29K a year. I have 10 times more responsibility than my other job and make less money. I work my butt off and for what? I do more work, they just add more on. I worked production for many, many years. I know I made better then (and this even included 4 years with the squid!) Oy vey - there is my vent because I never do. I truly believe in the harder you work, the better you will do. However, sometimes even I want to throw in the towel!
Completely agree!
I have worked for KS for almost 8 months now, have 2 accounts, and have never been treated better by a company. How is it rude by turning someone down for a job? I have been turned down for jobs in the past when I was perfectly qualified for them, and I never took it personally or took it as the company being rude. I simply moved on. KS has many different types of accounts from radiology, ER, basic 4, clinic, etc., and it may just be that they did not have any openings that they thought would suit you at this time. That may not be the case at all, but I have no idea. I am not a recruiter, just an MT. If it matters to you that much, maybe you could contact them and ask why you received the e-mail than you did instead of coming on here saying how rude they are. JMO.
I agree completely
I have to also agree that they by no means micromanage at all. In fact, they are the least thing from that. They completely leave you alone. I have been very impressed with the way things are run! 
I completely agree with you...
I have been able to make my lines by being flexible. They, in turn, are very good with me. There has to be some compromise in this business. If there is no work on your regular shift, you just may have to go out of your comfort zone and work a flexible schedule now and again. You get what you give.
I Empathize With You Completely
It is just not right to get your line count average at a good-paying level and then have it knocked down to nothing because of a crappy dictator. I could go on and on and on about this. SOME (not all) hospitals, clinics, etc (and I know this to be a fact) will send the junk to the service and let their home people do the gravy jobs. Yet, the people that work for the services risk their pay every day because of it. I didn't choose to work for a service. Was basically forced into it. I love transcription, ABSOLUTELY LOVE it, but am seriously considering training for something more secure. Just haven't decided what, yet. Maybe nursing, but I'm not a young person anymore, so I do not know.
Hang in there. Maybe with help from above, you can make up for it all in the next couple of days. I truly empathize and sympathize with you!
I completely agree!
Plus, try taking vacations! Not happening. Luckily my contract with a hospital got eaten up by one of the large services but it was the best thing that could have happened. Now I work for a company and THEY have to worry about getting me the work and a paycheck on time.
I was making more money but I'd rather let someone else have the associated headaches.
I am completely out of the loop.
I think the new payroll company keeps overlooking me, and often I have to ask for information that seems to be sent to everyone else (For example, my benefits paperwork wasn't sent until I asked for it.) I will have to ask again to have the 401k info sent to me. I have no paperwork on this. Did you get anything yet? What is the deadline for cashing out? TT hasn't given us info yet on their match, have they?
I understand completely
about needing your paycheck when you need it. I am living paycheck to paycheck (usually not making it that far) just like 90% of MTs are. But if the funds were to be released on the 5th (Friday), they still wouldn't be available until Tuesday at 6 am, at least at my bank. So if they released them on Monday it would be the same thing, there at Tuesday at 6 am.
Agree completely.
!x!
I agree completely!
I agree with Mrs. Webber completely. I couldn't have said it better myself! The only thing worse than not getting paid on-time is not getting paid at all. Unfortunately, there are companies out there like that, which I found out the hard way with TSI of Illinois. If you have been considering TSI, save yourself a lot of trouble, and don't bother. THEY DON'T PAY!!
I agree completely....

Agree completely!
I just had to laugh. I too was on AV, weren't they just the best? And no special considerations either. The only peeps who stayed on AV were the ones who didn't care...and I don't care what the managers said...horrible, horrible, horrible.
Completely agree.

I completely understand what you are saying, and......
that could be my problem. I have the BOS on my computer, and I look up everything that I can think of that could be different from what my prior employer wanted. Maybe I am overlooking stuff. It is just so frustrating.
Yes, I completely agree (nm)
I agree with you completely! sm
It hasn't slowed me down at all. for some reason I have also not had the hand/carpal tunnel problems that alot of other people have had. I think everyone's body breaks down in different places at different times. I have enough other aches and pains! haha. I will be 54 this year.
I completely agree!
I live in the south and everything you said is totally true. Just imagine living down here and dealing with these types face to face on a daily basis... ugh!
That is completely understable.
That is they way all companies should do it. I realize that there are some people who abuse blanks, but that should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, not a blanket rule for all accounts. At the Q they even count it against you if you send in a blank, and the QA can't even get it.
I agree completely
The Indian workers are just trying to make a living, too. I'm mad at the folks like David Iwinski whose thirst for global dominance has stripped us of any humanity we had and reduced us to being teensy cogs in the money making wheel that is making them rich. Those are the folks who should be ashamed of themselves.
Completely agree. Why should they get
away with breaking our labor laws? I'm glad to hear they're finally investigating some of these companies.
I've not completely run out
in over a year. :)
protests. Well, duh, some of us have completely
