FN has more than their share of ESLs and you very well know it. You are not only snippy, as someone said, you are condescending and misleading.

I have a couple of friends who work for them.
I can find out. Anyway, from what I gather you can pick your own hours. They do like for you to work 1 weekend out of the month and they do pay extra for that. The friend that works for them full-time is sounding more like she is regretting it because she is on an account with bad dictators and she is have way too much trouble getting her lines in. She says she has to work long hours just to be able to pay for her insurance. I was just talking to one their part-time employee today. He was talking about an ER account he was on and he seemed okay with it. Another girl at our office looked into it for part-time work and she said they were very unorganized and they did not deliver her what they promised. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I had a couple friends work for her OMG she is HORRIBLE!!
She is new to running a company (within the last couple years) and is pretty clueless. She just isnt cut out to do it. I ended up hiring one of her MTs that she thought was awful and is one of my best editors. Quite ridiculous really. I would steer as far away as you possibly can. If you DO decide to work for her, do NOT quit the job you have or you will end up in a bad situation. Very few stay with her. Just honest words and hopefully helpful info. Sorry to slam on her so bad and I really do not like doiing that to companies, but she is honestly the most hateful and incompent MTSO I have EVER heard of.
The hospitals that I have worked at and the ones that friends of mine work for sm
all have a two week delay between the last day of the pay period and the payday. Same exact lenght - ends on the 30th, pays on the 15th.
I am not trying to argue, but I don't understand what you find wrong with this. The companies (all of them) need time to bill their clients and to process payroll. Some of the smaller ones probably have to wait to get paid too.
I work for KS and get paid on time every two weeks. The consistency is important to me as a single parent. I tried working for a small company but found that they had to wait to get paid and unfortunately, GMAC would not wait for me to wait to get paid. Going to a national like KS solved that problem and I can count on getting paid on the 1st and 15th of each month.
Must be MDI-FL. Has its moments. Either too much work or not enough. No happy medium there. Moved on
No thanks. 
Friends
Says you.
I have friends who are still there and (sm)
are hating it more and more everyday. They are already putting out feelers for other companies and ask me how I like my new job. It's like day and night from SmartMed.
What? My friends?
Because of my good buddies, I don't have to pay any taxes. That makes them my bestest friends. As I trot around the globe on the backs of the working class, I'll flush the commode while flying over your state just to say a BIG HELLO!
Friends
.
Yea, try almost 60!!!! And my friends say I should go
:(
try All Type. I have quite a few friends who
work for them part time and have raved about them.
If they were very close friends, yes I would let them know. sm
However, I would be very tactful in doing so. Maybe give them a hint to start looking for another company or job that you have some inside information...etc. If they don't get the hint, then just tell them.
Chances are the company may know this is coming and didn't tell the MTs. Most companies know when their contracts are up for bid or they are given 30-90 day notice the hospital dropping them. So, if the owners of the company do not have the common courtesy to let their MTs know, shame on them! It happens all the time in the corporate world.
Little bit of advice - do not get into gossipy detail, he said, she said. Just do it with diplomacy.
Good luck whatever you decide.
new friends - Winefred
Wow, thanks girls! I had a lot of response and appreciate it. Looking forward to chatting with all of you. Go TTer's!!
I used to be best friends with my boss (sm)
and let me tell you, there is always some guilt that goes along with your friend asking you to give up your weekends, time off, whatever, to work. I loved her dearly as a friend, but I don't seek out boss/employee friend relationships any more for this very reason.
Supportive? Yes! If we were friends...however,
My Friends are Happy
Not true, I got a few friends working at ATSI and they are getting better packages and salaries than most other companies and are quite happy there and they got plenty of work with salaries on time!
wow! one of my best friends is currently at Grady
He was admitted on Tuesday, still not discharged. I'll have to call him to see if he is aware of this dilemma.
Transcriptionist friends
To NM: The server wouldn't let me email you. I would love to have a fellow transcription friend!
I have several friends who are in bankruptcy
right now, mostly from the shenanigans over at Medquist. My dearest friend was so embarrassed and ashamed and felt it was a dishonorable thing to do. She had her back against the wall (she lost her house too, it was foreclosed) and I told her there is nothing dishonorable about falling on hard times. Perhaps all of the people who judge those who are having a tough go of it ought to remember that they have not walked in others' shoes.
Well, I agree and have other MT friends
and have enlightened each other ad nauseum. I don't think that I am just sitting around complaining, as I tried to be proactive in my situation and they DIDN'T want to hear from me, and DIDN'T care. I got the boot. There were others waiting to take my place - someone who is willing to be degraded and doesn't care, and management doesn't have to get my pesky e-mails.
As far as a large group of MT's standing up and fighting for ourselves, that would be great! Where do I sign up?
Have not moved around a lot
I have not jumped around a lot, worked for MRC when they were around years ago, then Medifax and Speris when it was Edix, now work for a small MTSO. Am happy but no benefits, no incentive, get paid the same as a new hire just out of school, kind of depressing.
Ask to be moved to something else...
I have heard the same thing about BeyondTXT. It seems like two different worlds.
how have you moved on if you are here....try
nm
I have moved on
and kept looking for other employment, but I didn't know if I needed to email her officially quitting or what (how ridiculous after all this time...). I signed an IC contract, so I didn't know if that means I'm bound to anything. I don't know how this works!! Anyway, I'll just let it go and continue moving on - thank you everyone for the replies!!
I do believe they all moved now.

Yes, she moved
out of state of Alabama.
Wow...you just moved yourself to the top...
of many people's NO WAY list.
Oh, and your confidentiality disclaimer probably doesn't stop her from distributing if she was the intended recipient.
i had the same happend to me..not once but twice AND..I reccommended two friends and they had the
same issues. There are happy people there..I won't discount that..but certain accounts have some very poor leads and the whole company suffers for it. I never got an ID..I had to use 2 or 3 others that belonged to people who were off. When I refused to do that the second time..I had no job. To each their own. This board in particular deletes any negative about KS.
Good for you!!! Me too!! And I tell all my family and friends
I spoke to a clinic that is/was using it. They said it was the worst thing they had ever seen. You could actually have a rash on your face, but by the time the machine *reaches* out for the nearest sounding word, you may end up with some dread disease. And face it, nobody but nobody has time to READ EVERY REPORT FOR ACCURACY AND CORRECTNESS this day and time. Well, by golly, come to think of it, that's what MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONISTS USED TO DO, before we were replaced by machines that can't spell or know a toenail from a hangnail in the grand scheme of things.
I'm like you, the first time I find something in my reports, they will hear from my lawyer. I won't even waste the time being on hold, calling the hospital or doctor.
Hey, I have India-American friends
They came here and became Americans, so please don't call them dot-heads. The difference in them is that they live here and observe the same standards we do and have to pay bills at the same rates do. I have no problem with them.
I understand the anger, but the real anger shouldn't be at them, but at our own countrymen who advocate it and sell out their own people. There's a fine line between profit and sleaze and shamless greed, and they've crossed it. Some hospitals are strongly against it and they need to start investigating and prosecuting those who trick them, IMO. There are security risks regardless how well software is made. Patient names, dictated S.S. numbers, etc. It's creepy, if you ask me. Anyone can jot the stuff down and they would not be accountable to an American court.
As long as Americans tolerate it, it will continue. Most aren't even aware of it and when you tell them, they're shocked and angry.
does anyone have legal friends to help get us started?

When I talk to family and friends about this,

For Scribbles and his/her union friends
If you really want to know how to form a union, check out the link below for the AFL/CIO. You'll need to pick a union with which to affiliate. They have a list with contacts. They also have state/local federations of labor with contacts. You'll also need a professional union organizer to help you. There's a form you can fill out to get in touch with one.
SEIU split from the AFL/CIO and is a healthcare union. Find a web page for a local in your area, and they can give you the same information as above.
These are the people who can really answer your questions and help you. I'm betting, though, that you just want stay on these boards to stir the pot and whine.
Or the gain of their friends and suckups. They don't
buddies do. Or else they could care less and let people pick and choose as they please so what's the difference. Some get the cream while the others get the crap.
Need experienced input here from my friends....sm
I have started work with a lovely, growing company, the owners/managers are extremely lovely, helpful, flexible bosses, and my main account is a Surgical Center, which I love. The line rate is good, but here is my quandry....I can only get paid once a month, at the end of the month, and with a family of five, we really need that bi-weekly check, the budget is just too tight. Does anyone else get paid this way, or am I being totally stupid....pay is by GROSS LINE, a line is a line, 8.5???? Thanks in advance for everyone's opinion!
Mine was moved to an IRA and then
I just moved it to my new company from there when I became eligible to get one from the new place. Wasn't a problem at all.
If you have moved on, why are you still on this board? nm
mm
All the reasons I moved on
Gotta eat and like to actually get in touch with people.
I think she moved from Alabama, not sure...nm
xxxxx
just moved SS to the top of my list
If the word lie or liar was never implied, then what exactly did you mean when you wrote this in your earlier post:
Your original posting was filled with untruths
What exactly were you implying when you wrote that?
When I was there they ran out on all shifts, so I moved on. NM

Not them but CorT bounced my friends 3 checks. nm

Had many friends in the QA dept who all left about the same time.
AND...yes, I do believe them!
So you can believe an anonymous person who is friends with the owner
when they say it isn't so, but you believe an anonymous poster who says they are losing the account? If you have concerns call the company. You've come here many times in the past and griped about this company. You have the right to do so, but you're still with the company. Could it be that they are one of the best companies out there, not perfect, but better than most?
True - but OSI promotes friends & relatives
when there are clearly more experienced, capable people who only want a chance to do something more. OSi usually has the person they want lined up already but only post the job to make it look like they have open job post. You are the kind of manager everybody would like to work for. Thank you for your comments.
Or Arbonne. I am now hiding from friends and family
who think Arbonne will make them rich. I don't want to sell anything. I don't want to buy anything I can't afford. They are starting to scare me, like some sort of comestic zombies in Day of the Dead or something.
I have worked for both -- still have friends at Precyse and find
them both to be about the same as far as consistency in work. Usually if I'm running low, then they are too. However, Precyse has the better platform IMO.
I have at least 5 friends who have gone to school and then quit because it was hard!
nm
My friends don't even extend 'girls' night out'
they know I'll turn down the invitation due to lack of funds for dinner out. The only outing I've had ALL summer was an evening at the art museum, and that's only because one friend is a member, and got me in free on their membership pass.
Would this be DSG? Certainly what I noticed with the DQS software there. I moved on. nm
n
Wow! That's great....I think I just moved Amphion
to the top of my list! Thanks!! 
They recently moved to another office.
One of my friends who was recently hired was about to train, but that did not push through as the network was still quite down and the telephone line changed.
I have been working with them for almost two months now.
At first I had lots of files to work on (thanks to a new account they recently just acquired). Nowadays, they are a-trickling! Maybe I should ask for another account.
