If the new owners allow foreign posts,
Posted By: then they should remove that warning on 2008-05-12
In Reply to:
at the top of the JobSeekers page. It's the second listing on it. It very clearly states no MTs outside of the US. I realize it dates pre-new owners, but they should remove that if they are going to allow such postings.

Aren't MTSOs the owners? Well if owners of MT companies
don't want to work for that MTSO. There should be some idea of what is coming at us.
The "former owners" are the current owners. QT has not been sold (sm)
and I was told it will not be sold and is trying to get new accounts.
Former QT owners? I thought they were original owners

FOREIGN MT
YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. FOREIGN OR NOT, THESE PEOPLE DESERVE THE RIGHT TO LEARN AND PRODUCE AND MAKE A LIVING. WE ARE TO POMPOUS AS INDIVIDUALS IN THIS BUSINESS. ONLY AMERICANS CAN PRODUCE QUALITY, BOLOGNA. I AM A QA SWAT TEAM MEMBER OF A LARGE SERVICE AND WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF OFFSHORE WORK DONE, THE QUALITY IS BETTER THAN MOST AMERICAN MTs. YES THEY ARE NOT PRIVY TO AMERICAN SLANG AND TO THEM THE LANGUAGE A LANGUAGE, MUCH LIKE AN ESL DOCTOR TO US, SO DOES THAT MEAN WE DON'T TRANSCRIBE, SWEAT AND MANY TIMES LEAVE BLANKS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH OUR ATTITUDES ABOUT THESE FOLKS. YES THEY MAKE MISTAKES, BUT THEY ARE THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE OF OUR TRADE. THE MORE HOSPITALS, CLINICS, ETC WANT COMPETITIVE CHARGES, THE MORE YOU WILL USE INDIANS, CHINESE, KOREANS, ETC TO APPLY THIS TRADE.
I CAN SPEAK AFTER 20+ YEARS.

Not foreign company
I work for Globespan Medical, Inc and it is not a foreign company as you are thinking. They are based out of California and do not outsource, so not sure what you are seeing and where that they are foreign.
not foreign either but can't get to the site. nm

Foreign Company
You don't want to work for a foreign company why? I'm sure that you purchase items from foreign companies. Everything is going overseas because it is cheaper. Focus is a great company to work for. I've been there for 1 year and haven't had any issues with them. Just because they are foreign doesn't make them a bad company.
Once foreign owned, always foreign owned.

Let us know when you accomplish that with foreign MTs.
I'm curious as to how long it takes.
So now we have to put up with this foreign garbage.... sm
undercutting us and taking our work with such poor grammar? You've got to be kidding. This is ridiculous.
If you click on that job listing, at the bottom of the page is a moderator link. Click on that and it will bring up all the moderators e-mails. Let's all e-mail them with thumbs down and get these messages removed.
Red angry smiley face to these moderators and definite thumbs down.
This is a foreign company.
This will offshore all they can. The American MT is the bottom feeder here. Beware!
I smell a foreign spy. You need to...
Leave the board before I report you to Customs and Immigration. LOL.
If you look up the foreign name and the web address
it's associated with /transindiatranscribers. If you're concerned about offshoring, might want to give this one a miss.
No, not foreign sounding
Try ebonics.
Sure it does. It's a myth that foreign cars are better. sm
Does anyone keep jap cars long enough to find out? We have American vehicles ranging from 2001 back to 1960. Still running. It started in the 70s when the factories started closing as goods were being made in Japan, and continued on. Now it's China and India gobbling up our jobs.
Oh, I agree, but the owner is foreign, so

Webmedx is NOT offshore, nor foreign owned. 100% US. nm

And stop buying foreign cars for crying out loud. sm
Look at the 10s of thousands of workers who are being laid off from GM and Ford after giving decades of their lives. Thanks to all you people who buy foreign cars. 
I had the WORST foreign doc cardiac caths there! I only stayed a week. nm

The *American* AAMT now giving memberships/CMTs to foreign MTs....
Shouldn't they at least change the name to UN-AMT or something like that! lol
I think that they were the owners but not very
friendly. The other services seemed to be having fun but they did not. Makes you wonder what's going on ?????
owners are not MTs.

owners
are nice but the voice files are very hard to hear! Pay is on time as well. I had to use express scribe to transcribe.
You do know that the owners
of MSJ are accountants? (Unless they sold the place sometime in the last few years.) There really shouldn't be any problems with payroll since they are bean counters by trade.
Owners are not MTs and they have

It is probably one of the OSi owners posting
yeehaw
Right on! Too bad more supes and owners don't - (sm)
check out this website and see what the world of MT is REALLY like. Most of 'em are too busy shopping for that new Lexus or other expensive bauble to know or even care what life is like for the folks that have to work under them. It's kind of funny, where I used to work they had a very hard time attracting new hires, and even retaining the old pros they already had! (Word DOES get out, doesn't it?) Especially now that we have amazing networking & communication tools like the Internet and MT Stars. If I were a manager in charge of MTs, you better believe that I would care how they viewed their jobs, and how my organization looked to others, and I would be reading the med. transcription websites. I now work for a company that you never see discussed in a derrogatory manner on this board, and in fact that had a lot to do with why I chose to work for them, rather than the many companies you read about in here. So MT managers, start treating your employees like the money-makers they are, instead of like dirt, and watch your companies (and your profits) grow.
The owners of MW are all in FL, so how is this true? sm
The owners are 1 family, all in FL. If someone is in new hampshire, she can't be one in the same as medware. I don't know how Medware could give anyone any work, there's no work for the employees.
PMT and Keystrokes owners
Thank you so much for the clarification! Jill was great to work for and very knowledgeable about transcription. I saw Yorkville and wondered if she owned Keystrokes. Now, I know how to get in touch with her to say HI!
LER stands for the owners name....
xx
Yes, the owners are accountants,
but I had mistakes in my pay and the line counter cheated, i'm sure of it........
Yes, however, the owners of the company
also have the freedom to do with their money as they see fit. Even though they could put it back into the company or give a raise to their employees, there is no law that says they have to do so. Waste or not, it is their money.
If the owners name is Lisa please see message
She is a really nice person, runs a great company and pay is always on time. Wish I would have stayed working for her. Probably one of the only jobs I regret not sticking with.
Probably because the board owners don't need to deal with
hostile emails or lawsuit threats from peeved off people. One MTSO threatened to sue me and MTstars when I posted the truth about their documented unfair business practices.
MS in FL has owners who are control freaks and whatever happens
There is one person there (still after 4 years) who would sell you down the river if he thought it would make him look better to the owners but tell you to your face how wonderful you are, unless you have the putzvah to politely debate the issue. Then his boxing gloves come out and the verbal abuse begins. It really is slave labor there. I've been in the office, I've talked with the owners. I know things will never change there unless they start losing clients, but the clients they currently have are so grateful ANYONE will transcribe their reports, they STAY with MS!
And that, my dear, is why nothing changes at MS in FL.
You won't see some of the bigger ones here. I know for a fact that the owners of sm
KS do not come on here anymore. I went to one of them a few weeks ago, and she told me not to get worked up about the posts on here, that not every company is for every person, just just like every MT is not a good fit for every company.
I just emailed her with the request put here today, and she responded that she would not answer any posts on here; every time in the past that she did, things were twisted around and turned ugly, both with the bashers and the cheerleaders, that MTs with questions should contact the companies directly.
She also asked me if I needed more work as I seem to spend a lot of time obsessing about these posts, which really threw me for a few seconds. On thinking about it, she's right.
Ask Accupro. The owners of that company

Davis Transcription new owners?
Hi, I had heard that Davis Transcription was in the process of being sold. They have contacted me for a position, but was wondering if there is any current information on whether or not the company is being/has been sold? Thank you
Keystrokes does not. The owners are very vocal about this. nm

That is what all business owners do, Misty.
Their employees provide a product. The business owner makes a profit. The employees make a paycheck. If you don't like the size of your paycheck, find another employer, which you have stated you are doing.
Here is something I wonder: Would you be okay making 6 cpl if your employer had no jewelry, took no vacations, and her husband had to work too? Would you be okay with your situation just so long as she was struggling too?
You still have not said how you are being mistreated by this lady.
Have any of your company managers or owners (sm)
Have any of your company owners or the managers sent out politically-charged emails company-wide? I was just curious as to whether this is a common thing, since my company owner has sent several out. It's bothersome, to say the least. Work is the one place where I feel I should be completely safe from the political circus.
Why blame MTSO owners?
What's so hard about that? If you don't like being an employee, then become a business person and charge the big bucks. Many of you probably have never even managed your own accounts, but all ready to say how you are underpaid for what you do.
This career is based on production. Get used to it. Paid days off? Who gets those? Even if you do, it is probably a smidgen of what you would make if you worked as an employee that day.
Have fun fighting AHDI as well. I'm sure their hands will be in the till. 
How do you know that the owners are enjoying the profits?
If she or he is, great. That's the reason you go into business. Personally, I would not want the stress or the responsibility. With this economy getting worse, business owners are taking on the stress. They can keep it.
the company (the owners), men, are lawyers...
check it out, it is even on the website.
The owners at Keystrokes have other plans. They want to be sm
as big as Spheris or Transcend but still stay the way they are. I talked to the owner last week and to another manager about something unrelated and the subject turned to MDI-MD. The owner said that at this rate, they'll grow just from the MT's and customers who don't want to be part of the offshore trend. They won't go overseas and have no plans to sell for at least several years. They just bought a platform, are adding offices to the office building and plan on staying. She did say that she thinks that a lot of the smaller companies won't survive the changes in healthcare so they need to grow to stay in business.
Talk to her. You'll be surprised how easy she is to reach and talk to. I was. I was nervous when I called to talk to my manager and the owner answered the phone. She ended up helping me and chatting for a while. I was impressed, which is a first for me.
well I was lucky, the base rate is 6 but my mom used to know one of the owners
and they will get me in the promotion for the QA department. They said that they like to give the jobs to the new girls because it is exciting and they are right about excitement. I think it just helps to know the right people and I really do appreciate it. They are all so friendly. And the operations lady and in charge of radiology is Pepper, and Flo is the manager of QA. Just call them and they can give you more information about pay etc. The phone number is 1-866-552-1515
