You are not allowed to post their link on this site. Post

Why are they allowed to continue to post here when they are known not to pay?..nm

why is OSI allowed to post jobs on this site??? SM
It is on their website that they have an offshore office in the Phillipines.
OSI is not allowed to post on the board any longer. (SM)
If you cannot control your emotions when discussing OSi topics, you will be banned.
I have deleted an entire thread about OSI pay because of the vicious personal attacks. If you cannot respect others opinions or state yours without being so vindictive, don't post here.
I believe the moderator said OSi is no longer allowed to post.

We're not allowed to post names or even
initials here. Their website might give some insight. The CEO and his brother own the company, but CEO is active in the company and he doesn't know his rear end from a whole in the ground and is motivated by GREED. He just kinds of plays it by ear as he goes and after talking with him you feel like you need hip boots and a shower.
MODERATOR why is this company allowed to post a job opening here
when it's an offshore company??? They are looking for in-house MTs, and they are located in Pakistan... 
No forms of foul language are allowed, that's what got your post removed.

Ask your STM's boss - we aren't allowed to post names on this board sm
or I would. Starts with L and last name starts with R.
To Moderator: Is Seroesh Saleem Akhtar allowed to post on the jobs board?
I got so frustrated, I was continually
we would sever the relationship and I would not be responsible for paying them the $125 for the computer. Haven't got my last check from them yet, so it might be $125 short. Go figure. Will keep you posted. I was having headaches and chest pains when I worked for them. The day after I quit, all that went away.
I have been with MQ Amherst now for 3 weeks and have continually run out of work. I know this has
been hashed out on here many times but my question is does anyone expect this problem to ever get resolved or should we simply expect to keep running out of work at Amherst forever. I know when they call me about the new pay plan and tell me it is incentive based I plan to tell them they better make sure we have work or their plan is a joke. What can I expect with this office and what can be done to correct it. I dont plan to have to work 8 accounts to get my lines in and have them QA me on accounts I have never done besides. If this problem is long standing and unlikely to be resolved it is time to either get out of that office or get out of MQ so I would like some good ideas and comments on this. We know it exists but what is the next step.
I notice that Transtech is continually hiring. Are they growing that fast or are they
overhiring? Should I be concerned by this or apply? How are they to work for? Any input is greatly appreciated.
You're allowed your opinion and I am allowed to

why on earth would they even need to be QA'd?
Not knowing the OP, I would not presume to say whether or not he/she is one of the MTs referred to in my previous post but it might be a good idea to at least give her the benefit of the doubt ya think?
There is no way on this Earth
for a company that doesn't pay for spaces. g o m d t . c o m
Why on EARTH....
do you stay there if you are so unhappy? It really makes no sense at all. Maybe you are just a miserable person and nothing will please you. ?? I sure hope you leave Transcend and find a company that is a better fit for you. Good luck!
Why on earth would they want to do that?
It doesn't make sense. User friendliness makes more money for them not less. Maybe I don't understand what you mean. 
Why on earth would anyone
want to work there? I sure wouldn't.
Why on earth do they charge??
How much was the membership and what do you get in return? Just curious. I don't pay to belong to message boards, although I would consider if I got something great in return! 
The Day the Earth Stood Still sm
Patricia Neal had to repeat that to Michael Rennie's robot to stop it from destroying the earth.
What on earth is heresay?
Is it some kind of amalgam of hearsay and heresy? :)
Yes, but who on earth would relocate for a $10-15 an hour job?
Will the hospital pay relocation expenses? It's not worth uprooting the entire family and losing my husband's job when transcription jobs are a dime a dozen.
Why on earth would you call it annoying?!
I'd call it being tenacious and knowing exactly and getting exactly what you want. I'd go full on balls-to-the-wall! Are you a mouse or an MT?!
 (This is so not right, but it's the only warrior image I could find!)
No thanks TTS is the last place on earth I would work
.
Why on earth not? People in absolutely every other
x
Yeah, I'm going to miss J. Very down-to-earth
Philly might just as well be in another galaxy.
How on earth do you make $35-$50 an hour?
Would you mind telling how many lines a day you type and how much cpl you get paid? I just don't see how anyone can type that much that fast. Wow! I'm in awe! Have any tips for us slow pokes with attention problems?
So what on earth are we supposed to do for a living then?

You betcha - worst schedule on earth it seems.
I've been working weekends for 10 years and seven days a week for 3 years. I'm about ready just to tell the office I'm not doing it anymore - I did my time. If they want to fire me, fine. It's totally ridiculous to be horsewhipped this way. No other profession on earth is forced to work 24/7 the way we are with no days off, no vacation time, nothing ever! - even doctors and nurses get SOME time off, or rotate weekends so they can have some kind of a life. Sheez, even indentured servants and house help in Medieval Europe got one day off every two weeks! SOMETHING to look forward to - some kind of a rest!
So yeah, your message really hit a nerve today:) Believe me, you are not alone. When the heck are we going to organize and stop letting ourselves be bullied by these slavedrivers?
okay give it up people OSI is not the only place on earth
:-(
it's hip to be green these days, save the earth, etc. nm
zzzz
Wouldn't work for them if they were the last company on earth.
Go to their web wite, read the second paragraph. It says:
Creating a new way of getting IT done. Faster, cheaper – and yes, even better.
That tells you what they think of American MTs. Why would any American MT work for them?
SS is the abolute worst company on the face of the earth.
The sound quality of their files is horrendous, their dictators are mostly ESL and the absolute worst ESLs I've ever done and I do ESL all the time and am very good at them usually. I found their platform very time consuming, tech support wasn't very good, QA was an absolute joke. If you take this job you can forget the coffee, you'll need Valium. If you read through the achives there are many posts stating basically the same thing so it wasn't just me. There are even a couple of posts where people decided to take positions against the advice of many of us and they have come back and apologized that they lasted only a month or two and we were right, that it was the absolute worst company out there.
I don't know anything about the other company. I don't know if they are a new company or have changed names because I've only seen them mentioned on here a couple of times.
I don’t remember saying for anyone to find another kind of job, earth to gourdhead, oh
Poor MTs? I am taxpayer just like anyone else and I am not poor. BTW, will not make 50K as I do not work fulltime. I have taken up for the company before but, not anymore as people tend not to believe you and want to say you are management so people can think what they want and we will just keep it at that. Besides, don’t you have to get back to being a rah-rah cheerleader for all those poor MTs or is this the time for you to turn all nasty on them again like you just did, when yesterday or the day before? You remember, when people were asking you about how were you giving advice, being retired, getting husband's pension and the motorhome?
are we allowed to go over the 150 lph?
No it is not allowed
You cannot post names, as well as confidentiality papers have been signed to not discuss or disclose by employees.
Sorry just saw this, was the OP. Not sure if that's allowed????

Are we actually allowed to say the name on here?

Is this allowed?
Why is this person shikhar saxena posting on the Job Seeker's Board? He/she is an Indian.
I don't get how ICs are allowed in MT anyway.
From the IRS website:
Permanency of the Relationship:
If you hire a worker with the expectation that the relationship will continue indefinitely, rather than for a specific project or period, this is generally considered evidence that the intent was to create an employer-employee relationship.
Services Provided as Key Activity of the Business:
If a worker provides services that are a key aspect of the business, it is more likely that the business will have the right to direct and control his or her activities. For example, if a law firm hires an attorney, it is likely that it will present the attorney’s work as its own and would have the right to control or direct that work. This would indicate an employer-employee relationship.
Aren't we as MTs providing the key activity of the business? Also, none of the IC contracts I have had ever specified a length of time. We as MTs are contracted for an indefinite amount of time. These 2 things to me make it seem like all MTs should be classified as employees and we should not be having to pay additional self-employment taxes.
Are you allowed to say Christmas?
Pretty soon, everything is becoming so politically correct, we won't be allowed to use the word Christmas anymore. Maybe they were insulted - you should have sent a holiday card instead.
But, no - I don't think I've seen a Christmas card or bonus in years. Boy, in the good old days at MQ, a few years back, we actually used to have Christmas parties - imagine that!
It is not allowed at my company
Grrrr
they never allowed me to test
They just called me asking how much experience I have. I guess it was not enough for them to allow me to test. There seem to be a lot of those. They want a lot of experience, but what about those MTs who can pass with flying colors and never be given a chance. grrrrrr!
Deductions are still allowed
Even if you are on employee status, you can still take deductions for your at-home office. I didn't think so either until my accountant told me that absolutely, you still can. It isn't as much as if you are totally self employed, but there are still quite a few allowed. The best of both worlds is statutory employee. That means you do not pay both sides of the SS Tax but you still send in quarterlies. This way, you can take all deductions for your home office, etc. Hope this clarifies it a bit better.
If they allowed use to use Control-I,
they wouldn't be able to manipulate the line count!!!
Why are we allowed to discuss MQ's
pending lawsuits but not KS's?
This is not allowed, the usage of all
reference material is allowed, but not asking other people for help with the tests.
Why don't you stay with your employer?
That's what QA is for. No one is allowed to push
nm
are you allowed to use your own expander?
Irrc, when I used to work in meditech, I used to copy/paste from WORD into my personal Expander then expanded it into Meditech ... The use of ShortHand was compatible.
It's been about 5 years, but my recollection is that SOME versions of Meditech incorporate WORD as an overlay and so things are compatible ... other versions (cheaper/smaller companies) do not, and so direct copyd/paste is not compatible.
The problems are embedded codes in regular word documents. copy/pasting into my expanded eliminated apparently removed the embedded codes ... I recall my copy/paste file in Shorthand was named Kinko for just that process.
good luck
Are you allowed to say the company name, cause
