I, too, can see the handwriting on the wall. Like GhostMom, I got out. I am doing technical writing, something I have done before. (I have a scientific grad degree and it looks like it is time to use it.)

I am having a T-shirt made, "My job was outsourced to India, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt
xxx
Been there...done that...got the t-shirt.
I was hired for MQ QA. I waited 3 mths then finally got an email. The lady acted as if I had been hired a few days before. I responded, waited some more...finally got the call to start for real. The gals I worked with were great but upper management sucked. My thoughts today: I'm glad I left.
That's a shame -- did you call the office? Maybe they sent your shirt to someone else sm
and they got the wrong size too. Just a thought. 
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
Tell your friend to RUN (and I do mean RUN)
The best way to describe that place is great money, but job insecurity. They routinely fire MTs without any warning whatsoever for trumped up reasons, and there is a lot of office politics and backstabbing that goes on behind the scenes. They just fired the president of the company a few months ago, and wouldn't even allow him back into the building to get his things. Now if they will treat the president of the company like that, just imagine what they would do to your friend.
friend
r u eleena sylvia wallang...???
Your friend might be able to
contact her local law enforcement agency. There is such a thing as theft of services which might apply. SInce she works at home, the crime happened in her county. It would be worth a try if she has documentation.
My best friend
works for them and loves it there. I am applying for a job there soon. I don't think they give out the equipment anymore but I'm not sure.
I have a friend who had that twice. sm
Her hubby's insurance covered it both times and with 2 different policies.
Your friend needs to go to your
county/local courthouse and sign a complaint for the bad check. Depending on what state you live in, sometimes checks are collectable up to 3x the face amount plus court costs. It's no different than paying the plumber with a bad check. It's a shame one has to go through that to get paid, but she has to do what she has to do, right?
Me, too, my friend....
Me, too.
I found the email an insult to my intelligence.
I could use a friend also.
E-mail me if you wish.
Debate is one thing, and posting is one thing,
but this is getting absurd. I think it must be the same person, otherwise multiples who cannot stay on topic?? Why can't you STICK with the subject? The subject of my post was NOT what your cent per line rate was or is - I could care less- and not how much money you made last year, this year, or in your life, but how silly the comment was that your cents per line rate means NOTHING, that its up to you - some fluff like that. That is just so silly. Again, working for the same company, same account, is one going to make more money being paid more per line? OF course! This is so frustrating and really makes me so tired of reading this garbage let alone posting. Its like a nightmare. And also makes me completely believe that the original company must pay peanuts.
good thing it is a temporary thing sm
because people with your attitude don't stay in anything very long anyway. Nobody has to listen to that crap to keep their job.
You don't know me either. you can say old fart all you want (when did 53 get to be old fart....too funny) but at least I am a valuable employee who can get a decent job!
Why would anyone divorce their best friend?
Don't most legitimate psychologists and relationship experts say that couples should be best friends? I don't have a horse in any race and am just reading this board, sifting through the posts and trying to get a feel for who's credible and who isn't. Your post just isn't passing the sniff test and is borderline bizarre, making me wonder how your ex could possibly help a stranger if you're an example of what happens when he spends extended time with someone. 
MT friend looking for a company...sm
that she could work just a couple hours a day, do about 300 lines/day or so (sometimes more). Is it possible? She is just unable to work much more than that b/c of a family situation and most places want a certain schedule or 2500 lines/week part time and she is unable to do either at this point. Anyone know of a company that she could check into? A decent company. Thanks.
Who you talking to friend?

How would your daughters friend
know your PIN number? Call United Way or 211 from your land line phone and ask for an agency referral to an agency who can possibly assist you.
I have a friend who is working for them and she also
makes the higher amount. I guess it depends on your test score and the account. They do not pay for spaces but .09 without is almost the same as .075 with so at .10 or .11 you are doing good. Good luck.
My friend used to work for them
And she kept running out of work, then one day they told her she was not producing enough so they scolded her by not sending her any work for 2 weeks, she found another job in the meantime. She said they go by weekly averages so if there is no work of course it brings you down.
Uh uh my friend. The AAMT is JUST as
.
I have a friend who works for them
and loves it, still very happy after a year and a half.
Sorry friend, you misunderstood a bit
I don't have any problem with a premium rate paid to scribes for harder dictators, but don't penalize the rest of the team by *lowering* their rate.
That means the client pays more for more difficult dictations, allowing the premium to be paid to the scribe.
No matter what type of dictation, easy, medium, or difficulty, transcriptionists are highly skilled, and should be paid accordingly.
my friend worked
for diskwriter and said they were a pain; always changing things and a bit demanding. but personally, I don't know..
susan
Not all hackers, my friend.
Somebody tried to steal my identity, and they were in a foreign country. Thank god my credit card caught it in time.
That is just horrible for your friend...
I worked for DSG for over a year and they are constantly running out of work...when they do have a little extra, instead of waiting to see what happens they immediately start hiring again...and the same thing happens over and over....your friend is better off....
I have a friend who had a lap band, and even though
in the face and still, I repeat still, deals with the emotional issues that caused her to overeat in the first place. I am no skinny Minnie, but I know eating is a way to feed an inner problem that needs comfort. I am not obese, so I can't speak of what that feels like either, but even with a lap band you have to diet and exercise. A mental assessment is also a prerequisite. If you can get the problem as to why you overeat and do not exercise and diet, then I think that would be better than having the surgery.
My friend does say she cannot eat everything she wants, but she still complains of the same emotional stresses that she had before the surgery, which tells me this is deep-seeded and not something that can be fixed by having surgery.
The other thing to think about is as you get older how will this effect your body? I think nature has a way of taking care of us even if we are obese. Not all obese people have the same medical problems such as diabetes, arthritis, thyroid disorders, and shortness of breath.
Please think if you can about a way to try exercising first before having an extremely risky surgery that the outcome is not always positive.
I have a friend who works for them - sm
They are AOK. They leave her alone and she enjoys the work.
Not sure how the pay works, but my friend's min. a day is 100

I think you are out of line my friend.
To suggest we cannot work a day shift AND post here occasionally is ridiculous. I am your co-worker. I myself take frequent breaks for mind and body reasons, and come here often throughout the day. Lighten up, be happy, and TRY to be helpful :)
My friend just got a job there a few weeks ago...
and they are so far behind in QA that she didn't even get a paycheck yet because her reports haven't cleared QA yet...that is wrong on so many levels..
I have a friend who has been with them for more than a year sm
According to her, they have decreased her line rate twice because of QA errors, but they have never told her what the errors are and she has asked many times. They are always calling and emailing and getting after her about the number of lines she does. One day she will be 20 minutes late getting on the system and they call her. The next day she might be 2 hours late and nothing. She says she has NEVER EVER gotten a single QA feedback anything. It took them a year to cut her line rate the first time and complain about her work, but that was the first she had heard of it because again, no feedback in that time. She also said she has had difficulties getting paid the line rate she was contracted to receive in the first place and after these cuts she has seen her checks reflect a larger cut than they said they would be making.
I had called them one time when I really needed a job, even if it was short term to tie me over until I could get something better. My friend had talked to them about me looking and they said great, have her call we need acute care MTs. I called and was told they have no acute care accounts and have nothing to offer me. They were also a bit rude when I spoke to them.
I have a friend who works for them. She seems

Is your friend IC or employee?
I am thinking that may be part of the difference; company equipment versus providing your own computer...
I had a friend without a contract
She was charged for the IT guy setting her computer in teh amount of 100.00 or something like that. Sounds low, yeah, but the MT never even started working or for some reason there was no work. Well 3 months later, she gets a bill from the lady saying she had to pay this money. The company is a lady name Suanne at p.r.n. Transcription, I believe in Florida, so beware.
I am asking actually for a friend of mine
who has also received responses, tested, and the sound file was horrible. I certainly remember testing myself personally and the sound file was horrible, but she's asking my friend to spend money on different programs, which I think is wrong. I only saw one old post from 2007 where she did not pay after a few weeks of this MT performing services. I personally felt she was sending me too many different e-mails to respond to as she is doing to my friend right now. I just don't want people to be taken advantage of, as her last company name she was going under was called Digital Transcription Services, so why would she change her name, if not to hide from the ones she has not paid. Just be very careful!
Does anyone else have the same issue as my friend?
I have a friend, also an MT, who is a supervisor. There is one MT who, every time you turn around, is playing the kids card to get out of working her share. My kids are sick, I have to take my kids to soccer practice, I'm taking off a day to be with my kids, I'm going Christmas shopping with my kids, etc. The list goes on and on, at least 20 days this past year. She keeps on asking me Should I terminate this MT? I would have done that long ago, but she's too nice for her own good. What do you all think? Have any of you had a co-worker who played the Kids Card all the time?
It depends on what your friend is looking for
These companies are a dime a dozen. If she has a lot of experience, then she'd have her pick. Just check out any of these job board ads and see for yourself. I don't think anyone really recommends any particular company, but Keystrokes, Webmedx, TransTech, and Axotlol seem to be popular. 
I have a friend who worked with me at MQ
and she went to DRC the same time I went to MDI. She told me a few months ago that Acusis (the Indian company) had purchases DRC and that changes were in the works. I have never worked for either DRC or Acusis but I really don't think Linda would have any reason to lie.
I had a friend that was just hired and is being
I'm pretty sure my friend is going to work on the clinic account they advertised for. It clearly states paid for spaces.
Maybe your friend should check with management.
How come her friend left her?
Where did your pal go that was on your side? Did she ditch you or what? You finally had some support and she split. Awww, too bad!  Oh wait, your pal told you to stop wasting your time, you agreed, but now you are telling us how much you could care less once again. That's right, my mistake. So, tell us again how much you don't care.
You are dead right, my friend
That's right, it did come from an apparently specifically-created email account, so it would not have come back undeliverable. Someone was on the other end of that email account, and apparently the Yahoo Fraud Group contacted them.
Obviously the VP wanted the poster aware of the fact that her 'resignation' had been accepted. In the VPs position, I would have been mortified if an employee informed me they had NOT resigned and that was in fact not their email address. A cursory glance would have proven to the VP that this 'resignation' email came from a different (yet deceptively similar) email account.
I think this entire situation reeks and I hope the OP has all of this documentation printed off and seeks legal counsel. I remember her posting about All Type discontinuing the hourly rate and only paying the per-line rate, and although I have not searched the archives to re-read that post, I certainly do not recall her saying she was resigning because of it, nor do I recall other posted 'rants' as indicated by the 'about seeing an attorney' post. I also do not believe the OP even mentioned All Type by name in her original post about having her hourly salary cut, so I'm wondering how her alleged co-worker even knew that was an All Type employee.
Too many questions with no apparent explanations.
I have a friend who works there. They definitely do
See here for confirmation of their offshoring (page 10, PDF format):
http://tinyurl.com/l3ohz7 (and clickable link below)
Vendor = MTSO and Provider = healthcare provider contracting for services from the MTSO, btw.
I REALLY want to disagree with you, my friend
And yet I cannot. Everything you have said is true.
While they won't care if we stay or go, at least by leaving we can hopefully make the transition a bit less smooth for D and the $16 million she earned from our sweat and tears busting our backsides for her.
I lined something up part-time immediately when MDI-MD's work started disappearing with no rhyme, reason or explanation. It was too skeevy. Silence from D. ALL accounts drying up. Nope, been reading that MQ forum and crying for our fellow MTs over there to NOT pick up on the warning signs.
I'm staying with the company I'm at for the time being. They're happy to have me full-time (which they DEFINITELY do as of yesterday - MDI can stick their job up their selling-out nether areas), and so far I'm making good money at it and enjoy it. Because I enjoy the profession, I'll stick with it until the bloody end.
Just not with sell-outs like D and MDI-MD. I may end up working for every MTSO in the United States before the fat lady finally sings, but I'll go out refusing to contribute my skills and knowledge to ANY offshoring industry. I did NOT spend 25 years learning everything I know and perfecting my skills to GIVE them to India.
I hope D uses her newfound millions as a pillow...and NEVER gets another good night's sleep.
Karma's a real, uh, 'witch,' D. Best of luck to you.
to lost at sea
Please, please email me. If there has been a mistake, Lee certainly makes up for it. She takes care of people, but with everything going on, I can help.
Not sure about if they have lost a lot
of people or got a lot of accounts, but they do not pay for spaces (at least they did not a few years ago when I worked for them). Very rude QA at that time.
Lost
I was at a lost today on the call, but it was not far into the call before i knew what i was up before it was even said. I have been looking like mad for a new job today. I have loved my job at HIS and now i find myself scared and worried how I am going to support my 3 children and myself.
Most of the companies i have found only take those with 2 or 3 pluse years. I only have 1 year 3 months in wiht HIS.
I too have shead tears today and said a lot of prayers that i find something before the bottom of the basket falls out of me and my kids.
They lost me
And I tell others to save their money. Why should we support the AAMT when the AAMT does not support us? Let them get their money from India and the Philippines.
They lost me
With a little luck, this will be the death blow for AAMT just like it was for the employees at Heartland.
They only lost the
2 accounts but site 120 also had the urgent care clinic work at 121 and 131 that were associated with a part of site 120. Site 120, 121 and 131 had a LOT of work but now it's feast or famine.
