Let me get this straight: These boards are not to communicate or ask questions. Don't post if y

In Reply to: These boards are to communicate ABOUT a company - not to them :-)
because it will cause a huge thread of bashing to the point that the OP is sick to their stomach because of the ugliness.
Don't say anything bad about any company because it will be defended by so many people and will turn so ugly that the entire thread will be pulled.
The purpose of this forum is NOT to find out about companies, it is about seeing how nasty the next person can get.
Do I have it straight now?

These boards are to communicate ABOUT a company
x
They will post as they will communicate amongst themselves.
In a private forum.
As long as you have the FACTS to support your shared information, it is NOT slander and is NOT defamation or anything else.
The key is being able to support your facts and accusations and truly be able to back it up.
Good Luck to all.
post your resume on the various job boards.
I've had offers from several companies that don't advertise positions for whatever reason. I have had my current position 5 years from a company that didn't advertise, though they now do.
Post your resume on the job boards and see
what response you get.
Post your resume on the job boards. Most companies
want 2 years of recent experience, but with your extensive experience I'm sure some companies would be willing to offer you a chance, but could depend on the disability. If the disability was due to mental health issues you might have problems more than if you had a physical disability.
Post you resume on the various job boards, read the job
boards, Monster.com, CareerBuilders, etc. and respond to ads. Typically training positions are opened to in-house people first, or in the case of my company the QA people train/mentor new employees.
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU POST

Questions re your post
I was hired by KS for this account but after about a week I simply gave up because of the amount of ESL dictators, thinking I would never be able to produce their required line count. Reading your post has made me wonder if I gave up way too soon. Had you done a lot of ESL dictation previous to starting this account? How long did it take you to become proficient at this account? Thanks for your input.
Very odd, I put your original questions in quotes, but they did not show up in the post. nm
Too busy working to post anything...plus no one has asked any questions about them lately...
nm
Jesus doesnt post on this board. No point in asking Him any questions here.

Feel free to post your questions here. The only criteria we ask that posters follow
is not to post other people's personal names, email addresses, telephone numbers, and no client specific information. Regarding crass posts by others, this is an anonymous board, which means anyone can post without identifying themselves. We do moderate the site for content, but I would advise ignoring the trolls and negative information and zone in on the positive.
Thanks,

At least they are trying to communicate --
some people are going to complain no matter what they do or do not do -- if everyone who is so upset would leave the rest of us would have lots of work. I for one appreciate when they send us information.
you should perhaps communicate better?? that's my guess.

I am IC and do not use IM to communicate anymore - sm
It was just a way to watch me and for them to treat me as employee and not IC...no more of that.
Can we communicate this company's name in
Cryptically? Anograms? I am due to start with a new company on Monday, hired on for a new account, etc. Same story. I will absolutely literally die if there is no work. Support a family of five. I am so very sorry this happened to you. Has happened to me before, company was Transcend, and years ago everyone praised them to the moon and back. A bunch of us switched and went with them, and it was a horror story. We came back here and shared our nightmare, and so many piped up saying that the praises were all lies, recruiters posting, and I was sick. The praise posts were not a one-day hit, they were constantly, and I was so innocent and nonsuspecting. Took a huge financial hit, and am not in a position to take another one, but I cannot stay at the sinking Q much longer. Thanks for the scoop.
One is not allowed to communicate with the moderator or the...sm
administrator through the boards, you cannot post a message yo the moderator on the board.
You have to REPORT the message to the moderator or send a message to the moderator or administrator.
Better to chill out.
They shuffle us from one account to another, do not communicate well, pay is late, etc., so we have

Also easy to put an end to it if the company would simply communicate their denial of the rumors, as

Good luck with your interview! The best advice I was given before being hired was to communicate.
I had a few vacations planned, had my son about to go off to college and wanted to give notice to my employer. They worked with me and were very easy to work with. I think they send out that letter to weed out those who do not want to work hard, cannot work hard for one reason or another or for those looking for specifics that they do not offer (i.e. IC status).
Good luck!
Actually I posted looking for answers to my questions above, not looking to answer questions, but
to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.
Can someone tell me some of the other job boards
Could someone tell me what some of the other job boards are? Thanks I've been with the same company a long time and never had to look before
look here and other job boards. sm.
I'm not sure if the sites can be mentioned here but if you search on this forum and do a search for MT jobs you'll have quite a few companies that are hiring. Good luck.
What you read on the boards is not always
the gospel truth.
If clocking in/out isn't for you, that's fine. That doesn't mean it is a bad practice.
If I were a company accountable for employee hours, I'd make you clock in and out. Otherwise, you'd have to be an IC. Makes perfect sense to me.
You don't KNOW anything about Spheris if you haven't worked for them. You are only speculating with rumors.
OSI's management has been all over these boards
making up a different moniker for each happy, happy OSi employee they pretend to be throughout the day. Just the fact that they have nothing better to do than this and the fact that they're such immature deceptive babies just shows the lack of class that is running this company.
They show their lack of professionalism on here every day and they think we're all too stupid to notice.
They posted on all the MT boards.
I did not like the tone of their ad. If you pass our test we'll call you, etc. Like they are doing you a favor. Hello, without MTs you don't have a business. On their website it says their rates start at 7.5 cpl for the clients. How much do the MTs make then? I'm really sick of these places making money off our digits and not paying more than McDonalds. I think they offshore too. I guess I'm in a bad mood. Sorry.
what do you expect. We keep saying on these boards
that things are going down the tubes, then some Pollyanna's get on and gush about how great their business is doing and you must have poor skills if you can't get paid more than 3 cpl, bla,bla,bla. Look at the big picture. MT is going to get worse, not better.
Lots of boards on here. ..
Guess I'm confused. . .I asked this question on the Gab Board and someone suggested that I ask it on the Company Board.
If you would have read the boards here
you would have known that SPi is the WORST company you could have gone with.
Here we go again! These boards are supposed to be here for HELP
and not for constant company bashing by someone who so obviously has an axe to grind for some reason. I for one am so sick of this!
Check the job boards.
I wonder if they check these boards?
I kinda hope they do, so they can see how highly regarded they are and how pleased their employees are with them.
TT is the best, and I say that having been around the proverbial MT 'block' more than a few times, lol!
You again. Do you comb the boards sm
for the negative (and it's very mild what I said, isn't it) to rush in and tell us how many pink ponies and rainbows came out of your butt because you work for Webmedx?
The whole point of these boards
Is to read entire threads, Einstein.
If for no other reason, to avoid making stupid comments just like YOU did in this thread.
Are YOU the boss of the boards?
Obviously not, since you can't even follow a simple thread and control your impulsive behavior until you've read (and comprehended) the entire conversation.
Just like a 4th grader with ADD.
Company reading boards
Boy do the companies read these boards and when they find out that you are asking any questions about them or should you post anything negative about them -- they zing you a good one. Nothing like freedom of speech or expressing one's opinion.
These boards should be for accurate information
and not for speculation. Zylomed did at one point, several years ago, offshore a small amount of work to Indian because they could not find American MTs who could/would do the very difficult doctors. This work was eventually ALL given to American MTs - I know because I trained the MTs to do this work. Zylomed DOES NOT outsource any work.
Management watches these boards
and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't input most of the superlative blurbs.
I ran a search on a couple of boards. Came up dry.
I too would like to hear something about this company. Feel free to email.
Read the boards this week and it will tell you.
I'm not saying she has some valid points but MTSOs really need to be a little more refined. If she has things to say to someone say them privately not publicly. Most of the good MTs know all this and do not need an MTSO to blow off steam. I don't think the MTs need to be blowing off either but they are not an MTSO and the MTSO needs to preserve their image as professional.
Huh?? I was just thinking how calm the boards had
nm
Yes. Search the boards. Plenty there. nm

Read the job boards and see what the companies
require as far as shift, equipment, etc. Weed out the ones you may not have equipment for or that you don't want to work their shift or do lots of ESLs. Read the archives on companies you might be interested in.
There is no comparison list. You just have to do your homework and investigate. Maybe a good company to you is one that offers insurance, but a good company to someone else is lots of work and low ESLs.
The companies don't own these boards nor monitor them. nm
xxx
yes i could just call them, but we have these boards to use as communication als nm
l
I use DVI and am internet-based. Look on the job boards to
see what equipment requirements are. Post your resume on the job board.
They are not allowed to talk about anything on the boards. nm
nm
Many many comments about them if you search the boards. nm
s
Another "?" is why is there no mention of Acusis anywhere on MT boards? nm
.
Medware. Hiring on many different boards...
all this while the fresh road kill has not even been scrubbed off the street.
No, but she plays one on MT message boards.

Does anyone using these boards work inhouse? - sm
 And if so, where did you search for the job? I've noticed that on the job boards here, it's not only all national companies, but also pretty much the same ones, too. And of course the pay scale is the same old crumbs, as well. Is there any one place that hospitals and clinics go to recruit for experienced MTs, or do you just have to slog through the job-lists on each separate institution's website? There are a few where I'd post my resume tonight if I could, just so they could have it on file, but frequently you can't do that unless they're actively recruiting. Anyway, for me 2008 is hopefully going to mean finding gainful employment again, and any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated!
