Kudos to you for saying that.
...but I KNOW that being on this board is shooting myself in the foot BIG TIME. My morale is down the tubes lately because I DO work for the squid, and I have felt doomed, but you're absolutely right, even when I'm wearing slippers I must envision bootstraps on them to pull myself up, and it's good to know that if I do that, and summon the work ethic that I have in me somewhere, I know (because I've done other, harder things in my life, believe me) I too can make a living wage. Besides, I've gotten a new job and will be making the change within the next 2 weeks. Time for the proverbial new leaf. Thanks, Lil Ole You.
Well kudos to you, but I don't think
deserved your sarcasm. She is merely nervous about not meeting her lines and rightly so in a new position. She came here looking for a little encouragement. If your MT is as great as you say, and I am sure she is, she just might replace you in your company someday. I would be nervous about that.
Well KUDOS to you!!!
Such a valued employee.
Kudos to you!! s/m
Sounds like you're one of the smart ones. My husband had about the same situation as your husband. Wham! One Labor Day, of all times, he got a recorded message saying not to report to work the next day because the company had filed bankruptcy and he was immediately unemployed and without insurance as of that day. At that point we were thankful that we had lived way below our means for many years.
Kudos to you! sm
My children lost their dad 7 months ago. They're 3 and 12, and I feel like I'm running on empty constantly. I do manage to get my work done, but it's a juggling act. I find myself starting early (usually around 4:30 or 5) in the morning and finishing up in the evening. My company is great about giving me the flexibility I need right now, and I am sooo grateful for that. It makes it easier to put in what extra time I can knowing they're working with me. Keep your chin up, I know what you're going through.
Kudos to ex-Transcenders...
For standing up to these lousy companies who think they can s*** on us and feed us a line of crap, thinking we're too stupid not to buy into it! I am so disgusted and angry about what I've been reading - if Medquist pulled this on us I'd be outta there in a New York second. You guys are too good and there are too many other companies out there to put up with this kind of bull. Remember, we are in the driver's seat, we can be picky - demand far exceeds supply for professional MT's and you guys are sticking it to Transcend as should all new and old MT's. I also believe MTStars should ban any further job postings from Transcend - it is a total insult to us to allow them to continue to post, IMHO. 
Thank you for standing up for yourselves and, indirectly, for all us MT's! 
Kudos for TransHealth
 I just want to say that these last 2 months with TH have been very difficult. I have struggled every day with the work type, but am learning more each day and it gets easier everyday.
Well, I have not exactly been an exemplary employee.  I'm not up to my line counts yet, had to leave work once to bring son to ER, and today had internet problems so wasn't able to work (and I called later than I should have to let my boss know).
I DESERVED to be fired today. I'm in my probational period and figured I was outta there! I certainly wouldn't have blamed them if they gave up on me today...I might have fired them if the situation were reversed, but they were absolutely wonderful. They calmed me down and assured me that it was okay and that I'm not going to be fired...that they understood. They said once my internet was back up then I could go back to work....no problem.
Wow!  They have totally earned my respect, admiration, and loyalty. As you can see, my internet problem is resolved, so I'll be burning the midnight oil to get some lines in today....so I better end this post for now, but I wanted to share this great experience that I had with TH because all too often all we seem to hear is the negative about all of these companies.
Have a great night everyone!

Kudos for Transhealth
Well I guess you have to feel like giving kudos if just occasionally one of these co.'s are civil since overall one rarely sees basic decency from any of these people.
Kudos to you, Jes! However, you are doing something that does offend some s/m
You work hard for your money! You go girl! It's a dang shame that as professional women and mothers this forum has become overpopulated by bitter, burned-out, hateful, and I mean ugly to the bone venomous MTs who never have a kind word to say. IMHO, some of y'all need to get off your arses and get out of the house to socialize or find employment where you can relearn how to interact nicely with others. It's easy to hide behind a made up name and spout snide remarks off into cyberspace, because you know you'd be fired or have your arse kicked if you actually had the nads to talk to people face to face like you do here.
Seriously, if being confined to the house, alone all day has reduced you to this, a counselor may be your answer.
Kudos to Keystrokes
I do not work for them but I think it says something positive about Keystrokes in that they will drop a dog account instead of trying to make money off the backs of their transcriptionists like so many other services.
Well, BRAVO and KUDOS!!!
Well-put.
In fact, SO well put I can't even add anything to it.
I'll just say DITTO. :-)
Thank you, Admin!!! sm
It's not that I don't believe MQ MTs have just as much right to post here as anyone else. It's just that there are so darned many of them that wading through their posts was getting to be a pain.
KUDOS TT23,,,like you I understood what TT was doing
they explained rather clearly. It is a shame that this situation (which was only meant to help TT MTs) got so blown out of proportion. These are just rumors, bad rumors,, it amazes me how someone could totally miscontrue a very clear email!
Excellent summary! Kudos!
I couldn't have said it better. I am cautiously thinking our stock might go up down the road because the brick and mortar schools are slowly dropping MT training from their curriculum. No more ads on TV about going into MT. So those of that are left and haven't run for the hills may be at a premium soon. I've seen it before back in the 70s when we were paid too low and we all just walked off the job. Maybe they will get a clue before we do that again.
Kudos for trying, QA, but you can't reason with these people
I'm with a few other posters, good riddance to them. They mock all reason and logic, and instead stick firmly to their narrow-minded beliefs.
I've given up. Let 'em go. TT is undoubtedly better off without the lot of them.
That was an excellent question! Kudos to you! sm
I currently work with MDI, absolutely LOVE the company. But I will probably quit now. I used to work for Spheris (back when it was Edix), and when they started sending work overseas, I quit. I just think it's so un American. I think it's definitely to save money. I hear they can pay those people a lot less than us.
I'm really disappointed.
I've been in admin before... (sm)
It was impossible to balance the accounts and keep everybody happy. Stuff would get backed up to the point that accounts were in danger of being lost. MTs would be hired. Dictation would suddenly slow down, and people would run out of work. Some would be out of work while others had tons of work due to individual ability to do various work types.
I don't think they try to overhire. Usually the people who recruit are told what to hire for. They don't have anything to do with setting the number. It's just a crappy field. Either the clients are unhappy or the MTs are unhappy. I'm an MT again, and I can relate to both. The field just sucks if you don't have a backup form of income.
obviously there is a KS admin person
You may have had a good experience, but others are not and that cannot be denied. I was raring to start work and I got pushed away until... their loss, I might add.... I got another offer, a pretty good one at that.
The Admin is not the offshore
nm
You have to have admin rights to get
.
What do mean by admin rights?
Do you mean whoever we work for has control over the line counting method?
IP numbers can be seen by the admin BUT a lot
of money will be paid for the service of having someone's records subpoenaed. I have read this entire thread and I see nothing that anyone can really do.
IP addresses are not definitive either. Groups of people can share an IP address particularly on places like AOL and there are other companies that do it that way also, so someone would really have to go to lengths to find out the definite ID of someone. I don't believe I have read anything other than independent opinions presented on this topic.
These boards are to share opinions and not all opinions are fair, but this is the United States and we do have freedom of speech. Presenting an opinion about a company is ok. Libeling a company is not. I do not see libel at all in this topic.
Well, kudos to you!! Great rates! Congrats!! nm
..
Correct spelling is kudos. You're welcome.
I have been at Keystrokes a while and have to give kudos to what I think is the best company out the
not always great in the beginning and I left and came back a few years ago. I am so glad that I did. The changes have been wonderful. I think it is refreshing to see a company actually improve over time with growth instead of going downhill.
I agree with you!
I feel bad for moderate/admin
They remove them, but they don't really realize that the posts are true. There are so many things that happened to me with that company that were bad. If they realized how true most of the posts were, maybe they wouldn't delete them so often. I don't know.
Thank you, Admin. I agree wholeheartedly. NM

Well, think about it!! They lied to the MTStars Admin.

Telerecruiting Admin Services
I just found this post on www.whydowork.com/forums:
Posted: Sun Nov 13, 2005 2:44 pm Post subject: Telerecruiting Admin Services Reply with quote
Anyone heard of these people?
I fell for the first part of their scam.
Now, I am trying to get my money back. I keep getting the run around from these people about my refund.
I just want some information about this company because I am considering turning them in to a few agencies.
If anyone has any information about them, please reply.
I could use the state that live in, perhaps an address, name of a contact at the company, and a phone number would be great too.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can give.
If anyone is interested in hearing of all of the steps I have taken so far in trying to get my money back, just let me know. I will be happy to share.
unless you're a moderator/admin..sm
unless you're sysops and/or can grab IPs and DNS, you can only SURMISE who is posting what....
However, the moderators and administrators can tell for sure.... *S* 
You can email me at admin@mtstars.com

good advice from admin above
This is a good recruiting board. Recruiters posing as MTs raving on and on about their company. What snakes!
I am thinking they are disorganized and shorthanded with admin
That is the impression I get.... and they called and told me not to call back because they are constantly on the phone. okay so ? But ?
ATTN: Transcenders - Pls provide admin.
that Transcend is offshoring, and they will be dealt with accordingly.
cool board admin "stop the ...crap" nm

Not true. This info is on the Company board per Admin's request.
It is all clearly marked "MQ" somewhere in the subject line or name.
The Main board is virtually free of the new MQ posts. Go back over there or just scroll down the page to where you want to read.
No one has forced you to read anything. Admin made a request that the new MQ info be placed on this board and we have complied.
You're not obliged to read if you don't want to.
Prove it to me then. I'm open for discussion. You can email me at admin@mtstars.com

Used to use this in a hospital setting, admin could change the number of characters per line (sm)
at one point they had us typing an 80 character line. Talk about zapping your line rates down. Of course we worked for an hourly rate so it really didn't matter, just management's way of pushing us to do more. They only required 800 lines per day for a FT MT so they were trying to get their moneys worth I guess.
Do you have proof of this buy out?
Very interesting stuff here
That is no proof.
x
There is proof - as there was proof for OSI
There is validity to the MTs on this board. They provided the proof for the administrator to oust OSi from here, and if need be, they will be able to provide proof regarding Transcend. You just have to weigh what is important to you. I personally will not give my time or talents to any company not willing to go with 100% US based help. That's my preference, yours is up to you.
100% proof
Actually, you are to proof 100% but you are not requird to proof to voice 100%. However, I always did that anyway because if my name is going on it, it is going to be correct.
You have proof?
I'd love to see the proof. I heard they use US MTs only.
Proof
Do you really have any proof of this? I think if not, you are getting a lot of people upset, especially with the holiday season coming up. On the other hand, if you do, please provide what you know so others can make decisions about what to do.
I think you need some proof that it is bad -
you are probably going to have to deposit it at your bank and wait for it to come back to you. Be forewarned though, your bank will charge you a fee when it is returned (usually between $5-10). Then you can take it to the magistrate court and take out a warrant for a bad check.
Good Luck!
How about they added an ad. I proof all day, can't seem to
do it when I don't have to.
Where is that published? Need PROOF!
/
Do you have proof that they offshore?
/
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.
Yes and it was not a claim..have proof. Thanks
x
I have no proof but believe they do. I used to work in QA and the
work was so bad I had to almost completely redo the reports. That was 3 to 4 years ago, and an owner of another MT board asked if they offshored. I don't know what she knew that made her question it. I wouldn't be surprised if they offshored because they can't keep U.S. MTs.
