the stuff, they'd have nothing to come back to you with.  And how did they get angry with you anyway?  Did you respond to their feedback with negativity and not take responsibility for knowing your account or the basics of transcription?

From knowing many people with your type of attitude over the years, 9 times out of 10 they are people who have the same problems at every job, don't take feedback well, think they are right all of the time and just generally cause problems.  Instead of taking responsibility for your part in doing a job, you lay blame on your supervisors, other employees, etc. 

You are so right. And to take it further I have to say, we as MTs let this happen. Granted, it was the old frog in the pot situation, but the water is boiling now and it's time to JUMP OUT!  MTs as a whole simply need to REFUSE to put up with all this cra...nonsense. 

I only work my own accounts, as well as some work for a wonderful, small service owner. I tried Spheris and Transolutions a few years back only to experience all the horrors lamented on these boards, and quit  both of them in a matter of 2 or 3 weeks. Life's too short to be miserable and broke.  You're not making any money anyway!!!!!  Have you ever figured out your hourly wage?  Especially when you're sitting there all hours just hoping some work will come in!  This has been going on for so long, it's pretty clear that it's not going to change, so LET THE INDIANS HAVE IT!!!

The dialect did not give it away?  The lack of knowledge of the English language was not telling? 

COME ON! 

posted above them.  

I have transcribed much, MUCH worse ESL than what was sampled on their test.  When they asked me what percentage of ESL I had transcribed for in an average work day, I told them 20% or less and that's when they said that their work involved 80% ESL.  But man, that 20% that I got at my former job was some of the worst on the planet, I swear! 

They are rude and they love to talk down to you, especially women....they think they know every damn think about everything and don't know squat. 

Indian men are A holes!
