LOLOL--business owner

In Reply to: and you must be 13 and the reason why she changed her plans - I wouldn't hire you either. Geesh! NM
Like I said, you must be her kid. And just for the record, I was not interviewing for the job! You don't listen. I am a business owner. So I don't need to be hired, nor am I 13. I am an honest business for 20 years trying to help MTs make a decision. If you don't take the warning, that is your choice.

As a business owner
I have had people give notice and then NOT work their full shifts because they were leaving. Contracts can stipulate that you can be deducted pay for not fulfilling your contract.
Anyway, there are other methods to collect funds owed, if they are due.
I just do not feel that public character assassination is an appropriate manner to do so.
Walk a mile in my shoes!
I'm also a true IC; not a business owner
I subcontract for a very small business. I have one of my own accounts (so I am the contractor for that account), and I also subcontract for an online company.
Your comment: with the exception that I don't work for an MTSO who is making money off me while I'm doing all the work.
You are not doing all the work if you are not being the person that has to answer requests directly and collect money from that practice. As you should know, there are administrative tasks involved in maintaining your clients.
An MTSO will pay less because they need to make the money for doing the administrative tasks.
I am doing both. I have expected the online company to supply me with sample reports and also I was trained on their software, which is only fair since they want me to send things to them through their software, which I agreed to do in my contract. I have no quota, set schedule, or any of the such. I type when I want to do the work from a pool. To me, this arrangement is perfect. I can simply sit and type all online and am not worrying whether I'll get paid on time because it has never been a problem.
I guess the point I am making here is that when you are the contractor, you can use your system when setting up your clients. Even though I consider the online MTSO my client (I'm the subcontractor), I agreed to use their software, and I also was trained to do so.
To state to someone that an IC requires no training is just outrageous especially when that MTSO wants you to use their software, equipment, client specs, etc. If it were the other way around, then you would tell the MTSO what software you use and then you would require no training and could create your own client specs. The MTSO cannot have it both ways. It's one or the other.
JMO. 
Isn't that the MTStars Administrator/owner's business?

For a business owner, you sure have a lot of spare time!
And quite the potty mouth. Poor bitter thing!
They snowballed you. The owner is a young man who inherited the business. sm
He has no transcription background, although that does not always matter.
Most of their accounts are Meditech. They are fairly small, with about 80 MT's.
No negative feedback on them so far, which is always a plus.
LOLOL

OSI's new suggestion box LOLOL
OSI never has listened to what MT's said and won't start now. They are old school their way or no way with awfully unqualified people who make all their crazy rules. I have no faith in OSI at all and am so happy to have 4 different job offers that I will make a decision on this week.
There ya GO!!! LOLOL thanks for the laugh NM

LOLOL sure after you edited it . .
That may be what it looks like now that you've edited and posted here, but below is what the many of us received, and we got a good chuckle.

Voluntary effort - LOLOL
Go get a shower and wash away your nastiness. I agree with the poster that I see several questions that have at least 60-100 views and not one of those people responded to the person's question. This is an informative site and for that you obviously need people to respond. God forbid no one is paying you -GEEZ - just try to be nice and offer free advice. Try it, you might like it!
LOLOLOLOL! Yep, that IS the turth! LOLOL

LOLOL - I quit OSI 6 mo. ago, they still call
nm
LOLOL! I don't think we will ever run out of work. They have added three huge
accounts this month alone and I know that there are two scheduled for next month and two the month after. They are growing like crazy and I cannot believe we will ever be slow.
Do you feel better now? !! Business is business, most of it should be confidential. Why post on a
x
Trying to build his business? He's been in business over 15 years!!!!!! sm
I also had a hard time, nearly impossible actually, getting paid. The owner does this on the side; he is very involved with other things.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
If you don't know what is confidential, you have no business being in any business.
This is confidential information and should not be divulged. It is one of the biggest problems a co can have. If you have to ask...well I won't be able to explain it to you
Uncle, Uncle!!!! LOLOL!! sm
I just said nurses wages are not going down, is that not true? Have I been misinformed? I never EVER did or would dismiss the valuable service of nurses and I am sorry you read that into what I said, though I am not sure how! At any rate, life is too short to worry about chat board talk and, despite what others have posted, I only meant to point out that the field is changing as far as pay and benefits and it would be nice to have some compassion for our brother and sister MTs who have not had an easy road. Now having said that, I am done and hopefully everyone else is too. Isn't it funny how people who are so happy can just attack one poster like that. You have to laugh!
Hmm, wonder what the owner will say
no flame, but I would not tolerate that kind of off loading in a public forum from someone on my management team. Please remember I was responding to horn tooting that was short on information and left an impression that huh, I could do better elsewhere in addition to feeling insulted at the lack of decent benefits. There was no mention of UC contribution, STD or LTD, employer paying part of the health insurance premiums.
I said what I said mostly to make the point. If you want to sell me, do a good job the first time or you sink yourself and I won't look at you twice. There was little in the original post to sway me in your favor and the Jeckle/Hyde posting afterwards warns me of good day/bad day tangents.
As I said, best of luck to your company.
Are you the owner of
Why not just post the email address of the 'administrator'. Are you just trying to draw traffic to your forums and away from the forums here.
Seems to me, if you are really seeking MTs you'd just post like the other companies do on the Job board.
it USED to mean owner (sm)
back when most MT services were little and there was a real owner. Now that there are so many huge multinationals with no owner to take personal responsibility for the service, it's sort of transmogrified to mean organization, but that's redundant.
Just take it as meaning a service. Once again, AAMT, worthless as ever, ruins the language.
no changes that i know of. Same owner.

and this is the new owner
 My god you people are so gullable. That picture could have come from anyones kitchen!!!
How do you know? Are you the owner?
They are obviously losing something if there's no work. Have you been with them since they started or something? Do you know of every account MDI has or what? How can you make a blanket statement like that?
I can't believe people sit frustrated about no work and don't move on; that's just plain silly. There are tons of companies hiring; get on with it already! Come on show your stuff to a company that will appreciate you and not OVERHIRE!
Owner? sm
I thought someone named Tracy owned Net-Med?
Should be owner's...sorry. nm

A few posts on here say the owner is a mean one. nm

Owner is snarky.

As the owner of Omniscribe.... sm
I would like to come here and say that I have no idea who this individual is. She/he has never worked for me and my paychecks have NEVER been late. A company who does not pay their MTs would go under in no time flat and I am still going. Omniscribe is a very small company and I can count on one hand the number of MTs who have left here. Not one of them would come to a public forum to bash me or my company, so I'd be very curious to know who you are. I'm certain you have me and my company confused with some other place.
Oh, okay. I thought it was okay because the owner
people are saying DEROGATORY things about her. I was saying GOOD things and mine was deleted.
Is this really the owner of a company
Wow! You are soooooooooo ghetto and ignorant. I am speechless!
You said you spoke to the owner.
You are not credible.
owner, not organization.
Remember the Owner
I remember reading another board a few years back....maybe quite a few years...and I remember distinctly J. Weight's name. I know she was one of the most argumentative and flaming people out there. Stay away.
Why would you talk to owner?
Perhaps she is an account lead. That, or a buttkisser.
Why I spoke with the owner - sm
SHE called me, SHE hired me, SHE promised me a job at a certain rate, SHE gave me all kinds of excuses why the job never materialized and then I never heard from anyone again. Enough said.
I also spoke with the owner for the same
exact reasons. She called me, she hired me, she emailed me daily, she offered me account after account, which never materialized while I did crap work just waiting for her promises to be kept. Guess what? They never were!
Owner of a company
I agree with you. I would not want the responsility of owning a company or even managing. My dad was in management for 28 years. You are not there to make everyone happy and sometimes people have to be let go. If you cannot keep your end of the deal I would make you move on. Actually I would be a real hard a-- if I were a manager. A lot of it has to do with respect for each other. You need to appreciate what you have. Too many times these days everyone just wants a pay check regardless of anything else. Some people do not take pride in their work or anything else. Every thing is not hunky dorry every single day, either on our side or a manager/company owner's side. It is just not realistic.
The owner will encourage you to
talk to her current staff, etc., but that is definitely biased. An anonymous board like this is is a safer.
and........ the owner of this company
is subcontracting work out for Medware. Medware and herself are one in the same.
....starting with the owner! lol
x
Use full name of owner. nm
The owner does at least read here..
I had posted here complaining ile back that I couldn't get ahold of the recruiter who offered me a position and the owner of the company sent me a personal email to get in touch with her as they were moving offices and the recruiter was off part of that week.
You have got to be kidding. KS is a little too big for the owner to sm
bother coming in here and posting under other names. I used to see her name on posts, but it was years ago. I think they are very big now, and she probably has more important things to do than post on a board, much less use different names. There are over 300 MTs at Keystrokes. I would bet that only a handful post, but the positives are definitely from actual MTs. Wow. I am amazed at the things that people come up with. If there were not positives, they would not have employees. I have been there for 5 years, and so have most of the other KS MTs that I have gotten to know over the years.
Keystrokes owner
Hi-do you know if Keystrokes owner is named Jill?
Keystrokes owner
Thanks, I actually found that out when I went to the website. I used to work in a hospital for someone who lived in Yorkville and started her own company who was very nice and great to work for. I was thinking, WOW, has she made it! Thanks
Ower = owner

Really? New management? New owner? - nm

perhaps you should email the owner and ask. NM

WMX - new owner of this board?
Just curious...there seems to be no tolerarance for any comments unless they are positive. Seems like so many WMX employees always respond, too.
I heard someone new took over the board.
