IMO this is kind of fraud, misleading at least.

In Reply to: Question on Ethics on this Company - Forum re: MTSOs. This is a true
But often one can see right through it. MTs are very vulnerable, especially now.
If there are in a thread a lot of negative posts and all of a sudden there jumps somebody in with a 100% positive, praising comment, then this is usually an obvious lie.

Misleading ad
I worked for them for a couple of weeks not long ago (left because of the disorganization), and people should probably know that they do not as far as I was informed offer production bonuses, as the ad states. And I did not have assigned providers, I had a very large clinic 30-40+ doctors that was assigned to me, so I did lots of different doctors each day and did not ever have dedicated ones. It seemed just like when I work acute care and pull from a huge pool of doctors dictating discharges or H&Ps. Except I did not get to pull - work was assigned to me after having to ask the allocators for it.
I am not misleading anyone
Lay off means lack of work - you don't have to just let someone go because there is no work. Maybe they did not work out. We had a very successful (large) construction company, and this is what we were told by our attorneys who specialize in labor laws. We never laid off anyone, so maybe there is a law if you have over a certain amount of employees, which in our case was 60 - a layoff would be different. Being fired is different than being laid off. It is an at will state. I am not misleading anybody. Look up what laid off means. What all MTs need to know if you get laid off. apply for unemployment for crying out loud. If there is very little work apply for unemployment. You have a right to no matter what. Also as far as indepedent contractor - that is walking a very thin line by an employer.
Yikes, someone is definitely misleading others. I
that Transcend is still offering 3 cpl incentive to work holidays.
Report it as a fraud --don't have to pay
If you know that you did NOT withdraw it, why are you paying for it? report it and the bank will reverse the charges.
That's fraud and theft
You need to report it.
no.. it is misleading and tacky
of her to do that.
Vonage was misleading
First let me say I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!! I was one of those who used my LOCAL company, then they found out I was abusing the plan. I switched to Vonage. I was upfront with them that I used the line for DATA. They STILL signed me up for the residential plan ($24.95/month). Then, same thing, about a month into that, I received call from Vonage saying I was abusing the plan and I must be switched to Business Plan (I think it's $49.99/month). I STILL LOVE MY JOB but this disconnection is a ROYAL PAIN. I guess if there is no way around it, I'll just grin and bear it. I have worked for MANY other companies and have NEVER been as satisfied as I am with Keystrokes! So, I guess the inconvenience will STILL be worth it in the long run..........
Fraud, Breech of Contract, etc
Appears there are many legal issues that may apply from ?fraud to ?breech of contract to ?bankrupcy to bouncing checks to not paying. This company appears to be breaking a lot of laws. Who knows what else... Beware for sure.
This is misleading. They have all ICs, so it cannot be said that they treat their employees well.
I had a rude awakening about being an IC and will never go that route again!
No illegal? What about fraud applying for job with

copy of fraud resignation
I have a screen shot copy of the fraudulent resignation that the team leader took the initiative to email to me. I don't have a copy of the original fraudulent resignation email that was sent to the account manager, but I sure wish I had, as I learned through Yahoo Fraud Division the following. For instance, I email a person, not forwarded, just they receive my original email. If you go to the very bottom of that email, in the right lower corner, click on Full Headers. Now go back up to the top of the email and what do you see....You will now see the IP address. That IP address tells a lot about the sender. Hmmm, do you think All Type would insist ***** do this since she is the one who received the fraudulent resignation? Would save a lot of legal headaches. I think I shall request that, but something tells me I will not receive a response.
That's a bit misleading. It is NOT just the IT department. The techs sm
who allocate the dictation files to you nothing to do with IT. If you have a computer issue, they will get someone from IT for you, but Marie and the rest are not part of that department. The ENTIRE COMPANY is based in India. Yes, they hire American MTs, but the company is in India, and they at one point even lied to the MTs and said work was slow due to Christmas (this was in the middle/latter part of January), then one of the techs admitted they had outsourced to an Indian MT company.
They are not the worst company to work for -- the pay is decent and on time -- although I never cared for the way the work was allocated and I absolutely DESPISE the fact that they are now lying and misrepresenting themselves in their ads saying they are based in Kentucky. There is a residential HOUSE in Kentucky owned by the Indian owner. Why not just be upfront about it in their ads?
I misread your post - I thought it was about fraud
sorry.
Well I think that is very misleading especially recently if those MTs needed SE status in their
particular situation. I would have been extremely upset to have been mislead into thinking I was going to be an SE to find out a month later I was going to be an employee. Sorry I dont agree with you. I think that is BS on MQ part. Covering their very broad asses as usual and screwing everyone else. That is what MQ is all about. I hope people dont think this new employee plan wont have a ton of problems from the getgo. Just wait.
Yet you have never once mentioned who you are a "hiring manager" for. LOL Fraud.

The recruiter I spoke to was VERY misleading about holiday pay.
I never would have known (until it was too late!) about their holiday policy unless I had read it here.... I've tossed my notes from the interview but as I recall she said something about as long as you work your next scheduled day before and after you get time+1/2 on holidays. Could be wrong but anyway it left me with an impression apparently pretty different from the truth. I'm so glad I said, I'll think about it!
I find that people who call others fraud are jealous.
Many people are jealous that others have made something more. It is the difference in each of us. I am sure if the recruiter who calls herself a hiring manager says she earns $46,000 that she does. I might even know who it is. I know I earn more and guess what?? I know one more recruiter that makes more than I do!
Being a recruiter, I know that you do not go around telling the company you earn that salary for because that is not professional to name the company, but if you think it is not possible, you are wrong. When you have excelled in the industry, it is not only possible, but probable.
If you want to make that kind of money, do something wonderful with your MT work and go for it, but you can't do it if you do not have the people skills or the ability to analyze.
It is in MOST STATES, called THEFT OF SERVICE, FRAUD - nm

I wonder if you would be kind enough to tell me......
exactly what constitutes "good reason" for my home phone number to be given out to anyone by Lee as it was?
I'm sorry. I went to work and then had to come back to ask this question. I even looked up *confidentiality* in my Webster's trying to find the loopholes.
Thank you.
She was very kind
and all, but Lee or someone should know that she is misrepresenting herself. She should know that it's OK to say, "I am new to Keystrokes and feel that this is a great company to work for" instead of lying and saying "I have worked for Keystrokes for X amount of years and they are great" when she had only been working there a few days. There is no need to lie to people.
I am using one, but it must be the right kind
At some point, and I think it was when I installed Express Scribe, I could configure my footpedal. Try to do it, and if it won't let you - then you don't have the right kind of footpedal (it's either 9 or 13 pins, I can't remember which).
What kind of pay for V/R? nm

What kind do you like and what don't you?
Is is the work types, or the dictators? What I don't like are the long pauses in dictation. I have heard a couple of the dictators seem to hit a pause button, but most of them don't know how to do that.
What kind of changes? nm

What is the use of this? I have been getting this kind of
run around also, but why would companies treat MTs this way... no loyalty breeds no loyalty in return. I hate to say misery loves company but seems like more than we have had this happen. How to stop it is another question. IMHO.
Actually, I kind of see it although we
did it to ourselves. Suddenly, you were supposed to be Super Woman, it was the new version of Once Upon a Time. Get a degree, get a job, earn the bacon, fry it up in the pan, etc., somehow you end up being the one who gets the kids and hub up and out the door, taken to the doctor, drop off the dry cleaning, excel at work and keep a clean house and by the way, don't forget to look spectacular at all times. of course, if you are in a bad mood, your hormones must be at fault. Been there, done that, got the bumper sticker and the T-shirt which I now use to dust furniture!
you are EXACTLY the kind of sm
person I am talking about! Was there any point to that? I am not whining. I am stating a fact that there is no point in folks reacting to other people like YOU are reacting. Sounds like you are attacking! The ability to disagree and just down right nasty are two different things and you fit the latter.
May I ask what kind you have?
Maybe it's just Hughes, because my experience has been pretty crappy. I do know that an ex in Missouri had some little rinky dink company; he paid half what I did ($39) and had a signal that was twice as fast as mine and didn't seem to have the fluctuations. I assume that rinky-dink got its feed from one of the big ones but was never able to figure out who. There has to be something better than what I've got now, but few people even have internet in my area except some of the city dwellers with DSL(where populations get up to about 723!!!)
I have a car but if I said which kind
I am sure I would be called management which I definitely am not.
Thanks so much and that is what I was kind of
afraid of. I applied for that one on the job board because of loads and loads of orthopedics experience but they want you to have Dictaphone or the equivalent. I do not have Dictaphone and not sure that I have the equivalent, I have never worked on it so I am not sure what they are looking for.
Feels kind of right, what your saying
"The other troublemaker" 
Sounds kind of
aa
Well I did that kind of production too.....
Until going on the VA account. It's a whole other ball game and a totally different story.
What kind of problems
did you have with your LD service before you got Vonage? I am switching from Vonage to Verizon Freedom because I have been getting disconnected a lot and heard it was from Vonage. Hoping I'm not making a mistake.

That's kind of cryptic. What do you mean by that? TIA
.
What kind of accounts do they have?nm
xx
what kind of proof do you want:?
and still have proof of it ALL after 2 years! There will always be those who have a good experience at a company and assume that it is the same for everyone at that company. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is not the case.
OK... I really want to see some kind of link here. sm
I don't believe this for a second. I believe this poster is just trying to stir things up. If this were really true, then the OP would have posted a link or would have provided the source of the information (the news source) so this could be verified. Otherwise, if no link/source is provided where we can verify this, I would just assume this poster is a troll.
What kind of experience do you have?

If you are having these kind of problems
I would have to ask why? So many happy MTs getting their direct deposit every other Friday like clockwork, and you are having issues every payday. Plus you mention checks, and we get DD. I can not imagine having to call payroll every payday.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
:-)
I want to thank you all for your kind words SM
and suggestions. It means a lot to me. I'm a pretty optimistic person, so I believe something better will come along...but it feels good to share my frustrations with those of you who have been there, done that, and got the T-shirt!
I better go to work! Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.
Just Me
This is kind of silly, isn't it?
I agree with the poster who said that people are entirely too quick to use the term racist. At any rate, I think enough has been said.
what kind of reports sm
$1.20 is OK for plain films, but stinks for MRIs, angios, etc. IF there's a good mix, you're OK, if mostly long reports you'll be working for peanuts. Also, if you'll be typing patient info and headers, that takes so much time. just my opinion.
What kind of information are you looking for?

This is the kind of pay that makes QA
just fall to the bottom. I love mentoring, but please pay me an hourly wage to do it and I don't mean $15 an hour!! I am assisting with my 30 years of knowledge to help a fellow MT become an asset to the profession! Being paid by the line to mentor a new MT is disgusting. I have mentored many and have been a QA specialist for a number of years and in our profession for more than I would care to think and every day I wake up and look at these boards and read the pay, I become more disgusted with the field.
True and kind of not.
I do think that was meant as the laidback lifestyle. I see it as more of a convenience factor in setting the hours most of the time, lack of having to commute, etc. Yes, we should all be professional all the time, and for the majority of us, that is the case. However, there is always a bad apple or two throughout the ranks no matter where you go or even what field.
I agree with what most of the recruiters are saying as far as presentation. Why someone would apply for a job without a resume, I have no idea. Secondly I completely and totally agree with not using cutsy e-mail addresses. I was a hiring manager (not for an MT company), and that was one of the first ways we narrowed candidates down. Those were immediately pitched.
One othe comment about the AAMT. They set a guideline. The client sets the standard.
what is Beyond TXT? Is that some kind of platform?

Well see, that's kind of what I'm talking about ...
people in this industry are so scared of losing their jobs, and so quick to turn on each other for the slightest thing, even a post that makes some suggestions and speculations about why things are the way they are. Most MTs seem to prefer to just bury their head in the sand and pretend all the ills in this business will just 'go away'.
When I talked about women-dominated medical transcription, I wasn't referring to management, owners, or above, but those who actually sit down and DO the transcription. And that is mostly women. Women are exceedingly difficult to organize (I've been trying and failing in that endeavor for years at my old hospital). And it's because they've had it pounded into them (sometimes literally) that we're lucky to have jobs at all.
I know I don't have all the answers, and don't recall saying that I did. But I CAN say that divisiveness will not help this (or any other) field in the slightest.
You're right about the government, but that's for another post and another board.....
have you ever done this kind of work before? sm
It is quite difficult and very tedious. People talking over one another, sometimes a lot of research on the internet that you would have to do just to find certain studies and authors. Quite frankly, I do not think $50 an audio hour is worth it. That breaks down to about $12/hour +/- $2/hour, depending on how good you are.
On the other hand, he is being quite generous with the pay, because there are transcription services that are paying $25-30/audio hour for the same kind of work!! That breaks down to $7-10/hour! And there are people that will do it!!
That is just my 2 cents
Thank you kind lady.
