They're lying sort of. They are pretty much
100% Indian, so I guess saying they don't offshore to India isn't a total lie. They just have an address in the US, which someone posted previously was actually a residence.
Look, I am not lying. Why would I lie about it?!?!
That is one thing I CANNOT STAND!! Someone basically calling me a liar. I DID NOT LIE ABOUT THIS!!! DO NOT CARE IF YOU BELIEVE ME OR NOT!!!
I really don't think it's lying. When they
assume that to mean as part of the everyday situation. You're are just starting up with this company and I think it's expected that you would type a few days to become familiar. What will you do if a new account comes on board? Usually, as QA, you'd be the one to test the account out and get the feel for it before offering advice/suggestions to the MT staff. I guess you could always refuse to type and just not get paid for that time?
Stop the lying
We're on to it.
Then can almost guarantee they are lying.

Stop lying
Keystrokes does not give pay raises. I have been with them for several years and have not received a pay raise. I meet my line requirements when there is work available (more often than not). I would suggest that if anyone is accepting a position with Keystrokes, do not leave your other job until you have worked a couple of days to make sure it is really what you want.
They got caught lying about offshoring!
Love it when one of these companies gets called on the carpet! 
No lying, stealing, cheating at all.
And I am entitled to my opinion. I didn't say all MTSOs are ethical in their business operations but most are.
Seriously, if you read over the board, it looks like a few oldies who are bitter or newbies who cannot get their foot in the door. It doesn't sound like professionals with realistic complaints. It sounds like very withdrawn, angry individuals who do not come out of their shell except on anonymous boards. :)
For the MTSOs who are unethical ... I think they should absolutely be shut down.
Still yet, no one forces you to work for any company. It is entirely your choice. So, make a different one, please.
Be happy.
She may not be lying - but it is not typical or usual. nm

Yes it is true! Quit lying!
There always seems to be a few with their heads in the sand at Spheris - but please! Go look at your corporate email list and see how many Indian names are on it! It grows every day. Good accounts at Spheris disappear every day and that's where they go. You never read the company forums? Just because your job is still fine doesn't mean you can ignore the suffering of the majority of your fellow employees! And to recommend someone else go there just to get burnt is really mean.
Well I don't agree with lying but if I were offered the money she was
offered, I would have taken it and would spend the rest of my life enjoying.
The lying is unbelievable. If you work there, you darn well

Are you serious? Would you like my personal information to check to see if I am lying???
Give me a break...I happen to like working at Keystrokes and if someone asks a question about them I will answer as best as I can...
Is it true that CorT is bouncing checks and LYING?
Banned from advertising on MTStars (offshoring & lying about it)

May not be lying.. *certain* companies never bothered to check their work.

It would not cost them their jobs. They are just lying through their teeth. Get real, please.

For sure one of the hospitals on their list is NOT their client. Indians lying...
do not believe anything the lying management posts. They are insane and ridiculous.

True, and it seems less people care. I get angry when I see the lying ad sm
but I am powerless to stop it, so I might as well give up. I wonder if the clients even know what really happens to their dictation, that it goes to India first, then to the MTs. The work IS done by american MTs, so that is a plus, although they even tried outsourcing to another Indian company and lied to the MTs that it was due to the holidays ... this was at the end of January, no holidays.
If they want to be upfront and say they are an Indian-owned, Indian-operated company employing mostly American MTs, that's one thing -- people can make an informed decision -- but to say Kentucky based when the company HQ is in India is nothing other than deceit, and my fellow MTs deserve better than that. 
Bet no good QA now - they've chased them away by bouncing checks and lying.
:-(
But wouldn't that also open the door for MTs to get in trouble for lying about companies? sm
There are lots of dubious posts out there by MTs who are sure they know the truth but maybe they stretch things too b/c they had a bad experience; maybe they were legitimately let go and now have it in for someone. Anyway, I don't think there is any legal coverage on this site or any other b/c (as stated) it is an anonymous forum.
Basically take everything with a grain of salt!
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th
s
No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

You're right on it! They're just trying to cause panic.

We're glad you're gone too.
The more people that quit, the more work left for me. I love it when people say they can't take doing MT anymore.

now we're getting somewhere....
Great qualities... absolutely. Can you be more specific. What type of communication do you think works? What doesn't? Concern is also important. But how far should it go. Certainly a company needs to be understanding if an MT has some problems, but remembering it is not the company's job to take care of someone, what about when the MT is not producing or working when scheduled? How long do you let it go on? What if the MT has chronic problems. What is the company's role here?
I can say my boss was ALWAYS flexible with my schedule, but I also made sure that I made up the time and the lines. I didn't abuse it.
You're better off
Someone else will appreciate your abilities.
You're welcome; here's what I can tell you ...
Spheris' family insurance is with United Healthcare and the premium for family coverage is about $180 per payperiod (2-weeks).
As far as PTO with Spheris, as a FT employee, you would earn 10 days a year for your first 5 years of service, then it goes up from there.
I hope that gives you a guideline to go by.
If you're looking for
and to be treated well, then you will like TT. They really are the best company I've ever worked, for and I've worked for more than a few. In this business of never meeting who you work for and not knowing what you're getting in to until it's too late, they are a breath of fresh air. They always pay on time, pay what they say they will pay, are very kind and honest. Good luck.
you're right...sm
when I was in school, for MA, not MT, my instructor said the ones taking the MT class were just waisting their time. I worked as an MA until I got pregnant, then worked as an MT after my son was born. I'm gonna ride it out as long as it's available. Then, hopefully I won't be too old to do something else!
Is it possible that you're having another
I may be an old biddy but when I was 17 it wasn't a computer that was sitting in front of me on Friday night, loser.
Oh, if you're asking me -- I don't know. I wish I could
tell you, but I have no idea.
They're far from going under.
They're securing new accounts all the time because they're a good company with a fair, honest owner and a wonderful support staff and QA, etc.
I hear there are one or two bitter ex-employees out there who do nothing but trash the company, and it's totally unwarranted.
so what you're saying is . . .
No brains required! LOL! Sounds good to me!
If you're sure...
I would contact my coordinator and ask. I think the system is set up only with and without ops, that's it. On the VA account I do, if any report is skipped, the MT is questioned. Melody sent out an email not too long ago about cherrypicking and I know management is now noting who is skipping what.
