There is a lot of work out there with Keystrokes and others. MQ is losing accounts, and the other MTSOs are getting them. I am sure that they want to see quality and limit volume the first few days. I would if it were my company.

Suggest you find a 2nd company for backup. The backup accounts
are dried up, too, and you can ask for work daily and still never get any. Once u get stuck on an account you are there til u die unless u happen to be management's favorite. u never hear about any new accounts opening up, new platforms, Be prepared to read the intermet message boards to find out what is going on, that is how I found out they had Beyond Txt and ExText, or had any work available, (supposedly) since they keep advertising for help, but I still do not have enough work to keep busy. Liz wrote this big long message on here a few weeks ago, but nothing changed, nothing happened. It is same as always, hot air to try to calm people down. the
You know, I understand about this backup business. I actually have started to refuse backup
accounts because I fully well realize that after you learn it which could take a decent amount of time depending on how difficult the account is that it will also disappear so I have made it a point to usually refuse secondary accounts and for sure beyond that. I have just started to get a secondary JOB instead of secondary accounts because the name of the game is they are using you to run that account out and then on to the next one. I dont play the game anymore. If they dont like it, tough. Let them find someone else. Eventually MTs will just stop wanting to work there and they will get less and less qualified MTs as people move on.
Why must the person be a troll? Before its over with I guess you will be a troll also.

statements
If you don't work for them and never have, how do you know these statements are untrue?
Odd statements.
If you already were past the application stage then hopefully you already had an idea about what working at DRC would be like.
All of the posts yesterday confirmed that Acusis had bought DRC, so that comment about validating it made no sense to me.
Finally, maybe it's just me, but I've always considered accepting a job based on my interaction with the recruiter and/or employer and not the unknown/unnamed MTs of said company that I have absolutely no knowledge or interaction with. (Unless DRC's recruiter is now offering up current employee reference calls for your pleasure.)
Good luck at your second choice. I am staying with DRC/Acusis and I frankly could care less which MTs decide not to.
Please don't make such statements
I don't work for this company, never have. Yet it seems that people are always saying things that are not true about this company and causing a HUGE stink on this board. I can imagine that this has to be painful for the owner, as I have seen her posts in the past. Please don't do this.
These conflicting statements may be due to their
hiring seasoned MTs. The person interested would need to ask them directly.
False statements
Amen to that.
Besides stating that your DD is not there, when it is NOT there is not exactly a false statemtn. TT112 needs to get a life
I agree 100% with your statements! nm

Why are you making statements on a company YOU don't know about?
That's how hearsay and rumor gets fed.
If you don't know then guess what -- YOU DON'T KNOW!
No, you are not chained to your desk. If I am going to be gone 20 min or more, I need to clock out. No one has ever checked up on me or questioned my time. Ever.
Proof of statements made
Can this be backed up by some proof? There are a lot of good companies out there and great MTs. It would be a shame if you prevented them from an awesome partnership from these statements that may or may not be true.
I am QUALIFIED to make my statements because....
I worked with these people for years and saw how they treat others. It means absolutely nothing to people in the managment of SPI to fire people or lay them off or just take your work and send it to India or Manila. Don't think for one second that your job is safe. They are all about numbers...Its a numbers game...meaning revenues.
The Philippine Telecommunication company did not get to be a company worth over $100 billion US dollars by paying labor to US employees. They know that by taking US jobs and sending them to India or Manila will increase their profit margins 25-35% minimally. Don't think for one second they will not do this.
The Indian companies are much better than they were. The Manila location has finally gotten it right. They will be able to transition your jobs smoothly without compromising quality or TAT. THAT'S FRIGHTENING TO SAY BUT TRUE!
They have also geared themselves with the strongest voice recognition product on the market.
So, let's take a look at the overall picture:
1. People resources available offshore. YES...thousands.
2. Ability to transition and carry out smoothly.....YES
3. Voice recognition geared to take over.....YES
4. Qualified editors in Manila........YES
5. Production MTs in India......YES
6. Large hospital organizations not afraid to offshore......YES
I dont know guys....what else does it take to paint the picture for you. You are all smart people....figure it out!
May I ask why you were not happy? Vague statements don't help very much. sm
If you don't feel comfortable posting here, please feel free to email your response.
Slander is when there are false statements. .

I wanted to speak to some of your statements
When you say people keep things to themselves, there is basically nothing to keep. We were told when we first started to use the mouse (believe it or not but prior to VR I had never used a mouse!). I got used to that and then when outsourced was told to use the so called hot keys. I am now 66, taught myself to type around age 11 or 12 and I did not want to retrain to use keys when I thought possibly could just slow me down so I do not use the hot keys. My company said people could get more lines using them. I cannot get any more lines than the audio will let me go and I have that to fast forward most of the time so the hot keys are of no use as far as I am concerned. There is absolutely nothing more that I do. I read fast, correct mistakes, spell check and never read back over a report. If you call that any tips or tricks, well then there they are but basically the same I have done for straight typing all these many years. Oh, as far as the preferential treatment, oh, lordy I wish I could get that, especially on Saturdays when it seems like all the ESLs in the world are dictating on my end. We are not allowed to cherry pick nor X out work that we might not like to do. Ours is first in, first out.
Very nice post - all true statements! - nm
nm
So far as I know making false statements is illegal
See possible answer post..............now I'm going to work so I will have a paycheck to be deposited.
If illegal to make false statements, everyone would
x
Obviously a troll!
First, if you were fired from Spheris, you just aren't too good! From your post, I can understand why you were fired. Learn to spell! I wouldn't go around telling everyone how you were fired either! Most people aren't proud of that fact. Your post makes NO sense. You are jealous because an Andrews graduate received better training and therefore can get a better job. DUH. Try another line of work!
I'm not a TROLL
My post sounded very rude and I apologize. Maybe I'm having a bad day or PMSing...who knows?
Do you look like a troll??
Dont insult the trolls.
oh lawdy - one troll after another, eh? NM *lol*

This person is a troll. (SM)
Probably a very disgruntled ex-employee. Probably have been banned at some point from this forum for unacceptable posting.
Do not pay any attention to their posts. I am leaving them here so the Administrator can see them first.
Trust me, even with their anonymizers, their ISPs can still be traced and they can be reported to anonymizers for abuse as well.
Ignore the troll.
p;
You are obviously a troll with a vendetta.
Too bad you don't have something better to do than come on here and cause problems.
please do not call her a troll - there is no need for that. the QA
part is the truth. There is a severe lack of QA at Diskriter. I just type my lines with or without blanks and just send them through because I was tired of the nasty emails I was getting from my supervisor about my blanks. That's all I will say because I do not know who reads this board
Can you say "management troll"???
z
Have you ever heard of a TROLL?
TROLL ALERT
NM
Yes, only a troll masquerading as an MT
would defend cherry-pickers and just say ignore them while looking the other day. REAL MTs would get mad and do something about cherry-pickers, not accuse MTs who disagree wtih it as being kids fighting over candy
you know I think you are the real troll sm
on here. I posted that I DO NOT own an MTSO but now I am a know-it-all and say things over and over. What the heck does that have to do with a post addressing the accusation that I am an MTSO owner. I work for a MTSO just like the rest of you. I happen to like my job, do well etc. etc.
You are nothing but a whiner and complainer that doesn't need to be in this business at all.
I hope one of these days this business DOES go back to where it was where you ahve to work your butt off to get experience with ESLs and everything else. The job is weekends, holidays, whenever the work is there is you want to work from home for an MTSO! If not go into a hospital and work int he MR department.. You will still have to work weekends and holidays.
Shut up or get out!
An obvious troll
put this clown who laughs at other's misery on *ignore.* Let LMAO entertain/babysit him/herself.
No, but that's my third backup.
nm
Let's just say I'm getting my backup
plan in place. I've been with the Q for 10 years now, and these last few months, things have really been going downhill. I have a gut feeling things are not going to be good for us MTs if and when the Q sells. How long were you there before you left?
why don't you grow up and get a life you troll
nm
whoa - that just may be a troll post.....sm
as I know it, the MT work coming out of India is sent to 3 doctors in India who sit in a room and proofread ALL India-MT work........saw a program on cable TV.....and this work is proofed before it comes back to the US.....
No I am not a troll, but I did find a job. Good for me
I found a job as a medical secretary and that is good enough for me right now. It is not the best situation, but I will get some SUM tapes and practice. Thanks for the advise.
I don't think this is a true manager, just a troll.

Look on an urban dictionary. Its right by troll,
Do UTA?
I call TROLL on the defensive
so-called MT who defends cherry-picking. 
Agree - Some troll trying to stir the pot
Must be having a very boring Easter and trying to seek stimulation on the board. *EYE ROLL*
Just ask for backup accounts. nm
nm
Not me - have you asked for a backup? (sm)
but I do think the holiday and bad weather has something to do with it. Don't worry. It's a great company. I've been there for a year and have no intentions of going anywhere else.
No problem getting a backup - might have to ask for one.
nm
if you don't have a backup account, then
it may be they think you are limited in the scope of transcription you can do. I do a specialty clinic where I only get about the same number of lines (6-25), but I can do 300 lph with those, so 700 lpd would only take 2-1/2 hours at most.
Why don't you have a backup account to help you meet your line count?
no backup on errors
With some of my QA feedback they are telling me it's wrong because it doesn't match the instructions for the client. The problem is, when checking the client instructions there is nothing in there about what they are counting me off for. For example: we are no longer to separate laboratory data or x-rays into their own category but to combine them with the ER course. I didn't do that because I didn't know that and I got counted off for it, but there was nothing in instructions regarding this. One QA said no big deal, another QA person counted off. I have tried to document and make notes to my supervisor about it, but all it gets me is more grief from the QA because apparently they are being told about it and angrier at me because I said something. I am not perfect and I have made mistakes they have pointed out, but some things I should not be and the QA should also be able to realize they are human as well and can make mistakes. I do QA at my FT job so I know how it all works, but it has to go both ways.
Ha, ha. I love it. Troll alert! Good one. nm
.
That person was a troll. Just trying to stir things up. 12 cpl or
xxxx
Yeah you troll. Get back under the bridge.
n
well, haven't heard the word troll since...
.
There's something fishy here. The anti-KS troll is back!
I make 9.5 cpl after 2 years. Someone is trying to stir up trouble again.
