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.

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

When you Google them nothing shows up

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!!

Because no information on your company shows up, you think

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

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

I agree, it shows a company has discretion rather than
wise decisions. That is rare in this business.
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.
A search shows very negative comments and you have to use their computer. nm

I wish there was an icon that shows cartwheels and pom-poms!! I agree. Why
do not MTs think this is a hobby?
The MW recruiters seem to all take the job to get free trips to trade shows and nothing else. nm

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.
Is there a listing anywhere that shows # of employees or size of company? nm )

I loved it loved it loved it - sm
when I was working at a hospital in St. Louis, they used Chartscript, and I was paid by $0.09/line - I would average 2200 in 7 hours!! I learned it in 10 minutes and was well on my way
oh how I loved YOG...
just thinking back on that company makes me feel a homesick kind of feeling.
: (
LOVED this job!!!!
I worked for this company about two years ago and LOVED the job. I eventually had to quit though because of a family situation. The owner is very nice and helpful. There were a lot of times she was extremely stressed out because of everything she had to do each day, but I never found her to be rude or pushy. If I am ever looking to get back into transcription, she will be the first person I go to for a job! 
LOVED the job!!!
I worked for this company a while back & loved the job. I say to anyone out there reading the same rubbish I did, use your own judgement about a person/job and don't let bitter faceless people influence you otherwise - and THEY talked about being rude?!!! If I wasn't forced to give up the vet op work (family reasons), I would never have left! New clinics kept opening every year, and the owner always did her best to keep me informed and made my job as easy as possible! Some people prefer to work for large transcription companies, but I prefer to work for smaller companies, where you are recognized as being an indvidual that is an IMPORTANT member of the team.
Yeh, right. She was rude to you AND THEN offered you the job? Come on! It sounds more to me like you stunk on the easy test and are bitter about the results! 
We truly loved MDI-MD
I think all the anger you're seeing from MDI'ers is because we really WERE led to believe that MDI was a very solid, responsible company that took great interest in their MTs. And in fact, this has always been true. I have NEVER had a complaint with MDI and have truly valued my job with them. When I was hired, their ad said they were looking for people with 10 OR MORE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!!! I had never seen such a high-level expectation in an MT job ad before, which is why I applied. And they maintained that level of competence throughout.
So this acquisition comes as a genuine shock to all of us, more of a shock perhaps because I think most of us have had a very good personal relationship with MDI.
It may be that this Transcend acquisition will NOT be quite as horrible as we all think, and I hope it isn't, but either way, the fact remains that our relationship with MDI will change and eventually disappear, and we're quite sorry for that. I loved this stinkin' company and respected it, and I'm sure my fellow MDIers did too. But life is about change kids, so away we go.....................!!!!
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

I LOVED Medrite!
I was a lot more productive on it than on DQS. It was a lot more user friendly as well. DQS is set up for VR, not for the lowly MTs.
I loved working at TC (sm)
and every time someone from TC calls me to see whether they should jump ship, I always recommend they stay because you're not going to find much better anywhere else. And I'll tell you the same thing I tell them - if I had a choice, I would have stayed with TC. I was there for 3-1/2 years and loved almost every minute of it. Good pay, great accounts, etc.
I loved #4 and #8. Where do I sign up?
I loved that acct too....
Typical M-Q then one day it just vanished.
Me, too. I loved YOG, and the accounts I had. Oh well. nm

If you loved it, why'd you leave? nm

Loved your post too...
We should pick this up on the FL state board. Hope to talk to you there.
i LOVED alltype.
loved the manger, etc. only thing i hated was Chartscript.
It has been a while, but I loved working for them. sm
Although pay was on the low side by a bit, it was nice to have the same doctors every day. You could build macros, etc and speed through the work.
don't know how GSI is but i worked for EMS. loved it there. sm
email me if you want more info.
