I didn't see any such postings and if there were, they're false

Why don't you use the time and energy that you use posting lies about one of the few REPUTABLE companies left and fix what's wrong with the company you're working for. I smell jealous management.

Perhaps you didn't read all the postings.
Maybe that's what the OP was talking about; we don't know as it could be interpreted either way. However, a subsequent poster did state that she indeed had a company charge her $5 a paycheck for the privilege of having it direct deposited. So maybe you better check your alarm clock.
If you read down the postings some, you will see my postings--sm
as to the reason why. I do not have the time to restate what I posted just a few days ago. Just look for the Stentel postings and read them. thanks and good luck.
They're probably glad you didn't too - (sm)
 
We're just makin more money every year, and you didn't know it. :) nm

You're right -- ignorance means a person didn't know, and I didnt. Sorry. nm
Absolutely false
TSSC has only ever given 5-6 voice files to test. ONE and only 1 of the files is an ESL. You obviously have no clue what you are talkinga bout.
False statements
Amen to that.
Besides stating that your DD is not there, when it is NOT there is not exactly a false statemtn. TT112 needs to get a life
false hope
There was a lot of talk about how much work there was going to be with the new accounts, and evidently it was all just talk. They are still playing the same games they have always played. I wonder how many transcriptionists they actually have to cover all the large amount of lines that supposedly they were going to have? They will eventually run out of transcriptionists to hire who will stay there with no work.
False security...DUH !
The email address isn't what they check; any dummy can use a false name. IP address and computer MAC address is what they check.
No anonymity.
That is totally false
I am an account lead there and have been with the company for 3 years, and I can tell you that is not the case at all.
Absolutely 100% false
That is completely untrue. It's one of the most ridiculous rumors I have ever heard.
Slander is when there are false statements. .
NM
That's an absolutely false accusation.!
Don't know where you got your information but you're totally wrong unless you worked for them and did something which was against their rules...or was fired for something, or could it be because you just come on this board and bash them all the time.
Would you care to expand on your reasoning for your hateful comments?
That is a completely false statement
I have been with KS for almost 3 years now and they are, by far, the most caring, employee-oriented company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for many MTSOs over the years. If you are dedicated, dependable, and a hard worker, they will bend over backwards for you. I don't know where you got the idea that they only care about productivity. If you have problems, you need to contact one of the HIM managers or HR. They are all very, very nice people. Also, the CEO is one of the most caring people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
This post is patently FALSE
They did not keep only a handful of ICs to cover only what India cannot. Why would you spout such stuff without having facts at hand?
Also, CBAY is an American company with a subsidiary also in India (CBAY-India).
Their pay is on par with what most companies are paying. Payment is always on time. They are no longer doing employees, just IC status.
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.
I think it's just the fact that she is posting under a false title

Transcend false recruiting/low work
I was hired two weeks ago to do Cardiology, but hardly any Cardiology. I am stuck voice-editing the leftover clinic notes!! Potential Transcend employees, beware!! Recruiters will say anything to snare you.
So far as I know making false statements is illegal
See possible answer post..............now I'm going to work so I will have a paycheck to be deposited.
If illegal to make false statements, everyone would
x
The only thing wrong with this is that the claims are false. sm
I have been with KS for 3 years. I am treated fairly. I was also the lead for the person who is named as the person putting in the lawsuit. That person was fired for quality issues and is obviously trying to get even with the company.
Lawsuits can be filed. Filing one or having one out there does not mean that the company is guilty. If that was the case, there would be no reason for a case to be filed; you could basically just send a company a bill for whatever you want.
Once again, a general blanket statement that is completely false. sm
Many hospitals and clinics do a 100% complete outsource of one or more departments. The dumping and overflow could very well be at a company level. How do I know? I am a Team Lead at a big company and we do 100% of the work for more than 50 facilities.
Overhiring and giving new-hires false impressions that
they'll be able to make a decent day's pay is scamming too, cupcake.
False or incomplete information is what hurts this industry the most. sm
Keystrokes is hiring and has many openings. The ER account I am on needs 2 or 3 more people, the B4 account my SIL is on is short-handed and they are hiring like crazy because of new accounts.
If you do not have enough work, contact your manager or go above her/his head. There is plenty of work there.
I also know for a fact that they are hiring for orthopedics due to a large new account because they sent an email asking if anyone knew anyone who was looking for full-time ortho work.
They do not overhire. Quite the opposite, actually. We are always asked to work extra. I know they are looking to balance this out but will not hurt current employees by overhiring.
It may be harsh, but it is true. Too many people come into transcription with false sm
expectations. They expect to get paid to stay home, watch their kids, work when they want, make a fortune after 6 months of correspondence courses.
It takes more than that to be a good MT and a heck of a lot more than that to be a great MT.
With this economy, it would pay to fine-tune skills, work on typing speed, learn new specialties. The best will survive and I intend to stay one of the best.
Not everyone is good at everything.
Job postings
The companies that are constantly posting jobs post them not necessarily because of growth, it's because they can't keep employees for whatever reason.
Spheris, OSI, Transtech, TTS, Softscript, Transcend, Medware, etc. offer ridiculous bonuses and other niceties to attempt to get new employees.
The best companies are word of mouth ONLY.
It is common knowledge that some companies have NO WORK and other crappy working conditions, i.e. low pay, no pay or late pay, poor management, but they still post jobs.
Educate yourselves and realize the real reason behind these job postings day in and day out.
Where have all the job postings gone?
Still wondering... looked on here, and pretty dismal. Not much on other sites. Is it spring break everywhere, or MQ people flooding companies with resumes so that the companies are not putting ads? Anybody got any insight? This MT is curious, because I like to keep track of what is out there (grass/greener etc.). Thanks.
And by the postings I see, some here
should go back and learn how to spell and use verbs correctly. Frankly, I think there are some Wal-Mart employees on here protraying themselves to be MTs.
Postings
Thanks Gloria Brown and CindyMT for telling it the way you see it. Your point of view is well taken since you've lived through it. MQQA, if you read the whole thing, you would note that they have left.
The more mean, defensive postings I see from you indicate to me that
because you're getting a little too angry and taking it a little too personally not to be.
Seems like there were only good postings about
x
check the job postings....
There are companies on there looking for MTs to do clinic notes.
many KS postings have been deleted due to
people supposedly working for Keystrokes who were posting...in a nut shell, the KS people were not putting themselves in a good light and the posts were pulled but you would need to ask KS about it for their version.
Most postings are con with this company in the
s
There are postings further down RE: Focus. nm
:)
so it seems MD-IT lies in its job postings (sm)
Every ad I've ever seen from MD-IT claims that compensation is based on testing and experience, and yet it seems that no matter what, the starting pay is the same insulting rate for everyone.
That's another one to add to my list of Places to Avoid - if they can't even be honest in their ads, I can't imagine what it would be like to actually work for them.
Job postings have dropped because
we are in a depression. Yes, I said a depression. No one on television will say the D word for fear of scaring people, but do your homework. Our country's economy is tanking rapidly.
Anon postings
I was threatened a few years ago for posting on the site by a company that wasn't paying its people. The owner threatened to sue me for deformation of character and slander. First of all, I told her as the owner of a transcription company, she needed to learn how to spell. It's defamation of character. Next, since the board is in print, it would be libel instead of slander.
For any MTs who are afraid of being sued over posts, the most important thing to remember is that they can only sue you if what you say is not true. If you stick to the facts, whether it's not getting paid, bounced checks, etc., you don't have anything to worry about.
I have posted deragotory comments about 2 companies, and both have threatened to sue me. I have a little file in which I keep all the evidence of late pays and bounced checks, so I'm not concerned.
Reading down through your postings
You said you learned acute care but then said you had trouble with other specialities? I hate to tell you but acute care about covers it all. I do acute and have worked over the years from everything from a neurologist to oncologist, every type I do in acute care. I really am not picking up much in reading that shows you have much experience in transcription work. You are not straight forward in saying what background you have. You also said you would not work for poorly run companies- yet you said you were paid cash or off the books. Pray tell, what kind of company does that? Sounds like the poorest of the poor run companies to me. You said you worked in market research. That sounds like nothing relating to transcription work which means basically no experience there. Someone here asked you to post experience. I think they want you to post TRANSCRIPTION experience because from reading your posts I really find nothing. That might be why you are failing the tests. So, really, put down in black and white here..... what type of training did you have at Career Step and what type of medical transcription have you done? Your story has a lot of holes in it.
I'm sure many postings are shaded by negativity but
If I see something that goes into great detail describing a negative experience, not getting paid, bad management with a pretty good explanation why, etc. I steer clear of that company. No one could be making some of this stuff up.
postings about them is that they weren't getting paid. nt
See the 2 postings by Sharon and Rikki (sm)
on the Job Board......or go to transcriptionoutsourcing.com ......this company is in Wisconsin, but they are great to work for, good dictators, weekly pay...always on time. Great people.
Attention THMT - thank you for your postings
You helped me make a decision to join your team because of the way you are level and positive. Thank you!
Because of postings on a bitter board? Why would you
quit a job or question your judgement based on postings on an anonymous board? If you like the job, stay. If you don't, look elsewhere.
you need to really look back to prior postings
This company has been flying all over this board even back in March. I think it goes further than disgruntled employees. Take a look at how their lead people handle these comments. They have badmouthed these employees horribly. Yes, companies will have unhappy employees and there will be some grumbling, but it clearly looks like a much bigger problem with Shapin. A lot of drama for low pay. I would have nothing to do with them and NOT for the grumbling of past employees, but for the obnoxious and crude way Shapin's management individuals conducted themselves!
That's great, but I was talking about the job postings. sm
Some companies/entities do know what IC means, but others do not.
The job postings state IC status, but want a schedule like an employee, and pay peanuts at that.
Job Postings for Focus....beware
If anyone is applying or is thinking of applying with Focus Infomatics, beware. They are posting ads that say 'all shifts' when in actuality, it's only 3rd shift or 16 hours on the weekends that they have available. At least that is what was told to the QCs that they had to put on other accounts due to losing an account. Be careful with these people as when they hire you, they tell you one thing, but eventually, it all changes and you go to making maybe a third of what you started out with.
It's sad how badly new job postings have dropped
And those that are getting posted are mostly for places with really bad reputations and/or companies that don't respond to emails.
To Moderator Re Aspen in Job Postings
What company is Aspen? Is this a company or a name of someone? Can you please tell employers to list the company they are with. Thanks!
The main reason for continuous job postings
nm
and then there are SOME postings that make one wonder if it's the OSI poster backpedaling
You guys really must think we're all stupid. You're not allowed to post here because of YOUR behavior so get over it and grow up.
