May not be confidential information but gossip/rumor at this point and no employer likes that.

It is confidential information - here is why.
Not every MT has the same experience level so, those with more experience are paid a better line rate in most instances. It is the MT's responsibility to negotiate or at least try to negotiate their line rate and what line rate they are willing to work for. Not company pays a base rate to every MT or QA person.
This of course is my opinion and the way I do business. Some may agree, some may not, it really doesn't matter. This is the way it is!
Payroll information is confidential information in my book.
It is not confidential information. This was told to you by someone -
in my opinion, you are not breaking confidentiality in any way letting fellow MTs know. It does not say in this post that you work for this small national or you work where the account is supposed to be going. So, if this is true, you are not breaking any confidentiality agreements.
Companies release and gain contracts all the time. Maybe this small national will lose one account but gain another. It happens every day.
I don't think there is any reason for panic or for you to carry a heavy heart, unless you work for one of these 2 companies. Then, you may need to think twice about saying a word.
If you do talk - do not mention names and do not mention the other company.
Again, good luck with whatever you decide.
I know confidential and this is not it. sm
It is MY information. That is like telling me I cannot tell someone what hair color I have. It is MY info, garnered from MY hard work. The money now belongs to me, not the company. If you still have a problem with this, then tell someone what you made last month. That would be YOUR old information, had been your information for a month and should be YOUR information to do with whatever you want.
Its not so much confidential as none of your
business!! I hate it when people have the hutzpah to ask flat out what someone makes. If they want to volunteer it, fine. But its rude to just ask someone. And if they give you a figure, chances are huge that its bogus. Ask for a pay range - fine. Proper business etiquette. Buts its totally ignorant to just ask someone what they make - a complete stranger - and then get pissed when they POLITELY tell you they don't wanna give you that info. Get professional! You might make more $$.

confidential from yourself??...nm

I think when you have someone who likes
their co that that does not mean they are a cheerleader. I would think they are in a better position of judgment that someone who does not work there.
People are much more willing to listen if someone has facts to go with a statement. The OP did not give one fact in this thread that backed up the claim of dishonesty
Not everybody likes to job hop. We have every right sm
and are wise, to judge a company by what we read about it, what they offer, before we bother with them. Most people like to find a good company and stay there. This one just seems way to sketchy to me, and their line rate and incentive plan, regardless of what other posters may say, is really low. They charge rental for equipment, too, with is definitely a no-no in my book. If they want you to use their equipment, they charge a deposit, but not a rental fee.
Confidential. I'll get it right yet. nm

I agree. confidential..sm
insider info...look what happened to Martha Stewart with her insider info. keep quiet. let the cards fall where they may. JMO
Pay NOT confidential. My pay, if I want to talk

My e-mail program crashed and I lost your e-mail address but I remembered your name. The supervisor position has been filled. Thank you for your inquiry.

Confidential to MTSO2
With all due respect.........where will YOU be working when all the jobs are gone??? Do you REALLY think the clients will continue to need a middleman??? I think not. Pity the poor souls who work for you.
Confidential to Paula
I was laid off from Focus QA about a year ago. However, they have reorganized and rehired me recently. The money is great and is much more than the hourly job I used to have. Yes, they do have day shift. They will pretty much work with whatever hours you can work. The team leads are Americans now. Good luck.
I just came on here and it seems absolutely no one likes their job at all
I personally work for a great company that does a lot for its' MTs and is consistently bashed on this board. I do note, however, that almost every company is spoken about in a negative manner. Is this a board where people just come and vent frustrations? If so, I will not be visiting it anymore.
Hope you all have a great Memorial Day.
Nobody likes offshoring, but it's not going to go away.
You are only hurting yourself if you refuse to work for companies that offshore. If they can't get Americans to work for them, they are only going to offshore even more.
I am not going to argue with the likes sm
of you. Your word structure doesn't even sound like you are from this country. If not, you don't even belong on this board. Oh but I forgot, Why should this be?

Maybe she works, gets paid and likes her job
Did you ever think that Wilma puts in her time, gets paid and enjoys what she does? I know I do.
Had contact with someone there recently who likes it, but they still don't have DD. nm

It likes to omit things too!
When I do a high-maintenance VR report (lots of corrections, dictator go-backs and formatting crap), I sometimes feel like this 
On guard!
Or even worse, like this  or  . Rarely do I feel this way  unless its one of the rare well-trained work types/dictators that ends up in my queue of over 125 dictators on the account.
MTSOs GET A CLUE!!! NO ONE LIKES HIGH MAINTENANCE!!! If it's high maintenance it should be serviced accordingly (i.e. higher pay).
Not a nut. Happen to know someone likes slots.
A LOT. Too much. Keep slaving away for her, it's going into every slot machine in the country.
Confidential? Interesting word to use on this board.
I didn't see anyone's name, nor did I see any specific examples given. This person has the same rights to say what they think or feel, just as an MT does.
What info is in that email that is confidential or private?
Consider yourself in the inner circle. She is great to people she likes but
quite the opposite if she does not. There is no pattern either, all a whim. I am lucky that she likes me, but I am afraid that the knife will someday be in my back.
JLG as a company has been great to me. Do not let the recruiter spoil the opportunity to work for a great company. Just grin and bear it because once you are in, you do not have to deal with her.
Nice to hear that someone likes this job. I have just started and so far so
good. It seems to me that those who don't like it may not have been meeting the criteria they require. They were very up front with me on what was expected and, as far as I can tell, as long as you do your job there shouldn't be a problem.
sound likes a good idea
and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs. TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work.
Dunno.... the powers that be spawned the likes of
I can think of some foreign countries that might harbor server-crashers.
Rumor has it...
Baltimore. Or Colorado. Just rumors, tho. Praying not AMHERST....ugh.
Not just a rumor
It is an absolute fact that they are outsourcing. There was no DD deposit issue just a money issue, another fact. Everyone can take from this what they want, believe or don't, but just remember that when you all are sitting without a paycheck or work, you were warned.
Who's out? What's the rumor?

Rumor - - yes
I am the supervisor of the Transcription Department, and I have only heard rumors! LOL! The administration likes to stick their noses in and make decisions regarding things they no nothing about, and they always mess things up - - TERRIBLY!
They now have our psychotherapists typing their own narrative notes into Ecet, and today they started typing their own treatment plan updates in a program that was just purchased (I knew nothing about it). We now outsource our initial diagnostic assessments to Transcription Connection, Inc. We are still transcribing the doctors narratives and psychiatric assessments. However, I think they will find a way to get these done elsewhere as well. One of the docs told me that in a staffing meeting they were told to make sure they proofed their work well because they were looking to start sending everything to a service, and get rid of in-house.
They do not want to say anything definite to me yet, as they still need the 4 transcriptionists they have (including myself). When they no longer need us, we will be hitting the door I am afraid. I am preparing though. I have been job searching, and I have taken all of my PTO due to surgery, etc. They are not going to take me for anything if I can help it.
I came across by mistake an e-mail path my supervisor sent to TCI, stating that if she was happy with their work they would be getting all of it. I was livid and confronted my supervisor. She lied of course and said that she had to tell the service this to get the line count pricing down. I told her that either way this was very, very unethical, that one of us, either myself or the service, were being lied to.
I am bidding my time. I am not walking out. I am going to ride it out to the end. I want to be able to get unemployment, etc. As I said, I have been with this company for going on 15 years. I have been very dedicated to this company all of these years and they are just going to crap on me. Nothing new in this day and age. Corporate America is out for themselves and no one else. It is all money.
This is probably a rumor about OSI
I am an ex-employee of OSi and did not care for some things there but I believe this is a rumor. This does not sound like something MB would do.
is this a rumor?
nm
It's not rumor...
There are plenty of posters who say they have friends that work at certain companies and offer feedback.
If it takes 3 weeks to get up to par, that's quite a long time.
What I stated above is not false. No one needs to lie about a company. I got an e-mail saying stay away from transportal they are horrible people to work for and load you up after they've sifted through the files all day.
Maybe there are different accounts and different sups or whatever, I'm just passing on what I was told from an MT friend I trust.
The girl told me they've done nothing but hassle her and she only made a little bit of money.
The moderators say to take everything with a grain of salt. Apply away, and then come back and tell us what you think. 
Focus likes to get these little holes in the wall and then kill them.
look at STP and oh heck, what is that other one that wanted me - Lartech - that's just 2 of them.
yes, justme, please save us from wasting our time on the likes of YOU!
stay home and type your 50 lines an hour and have a twinkie on me.
Why is pay rate confidential? It is YOUR money that YOU made with YOUR hard work. You should be

Rumor is they are up for sale
but I have not heard anything more about that.
you said it exactly, rumor. that surrounds KS.

Do not start rumor. (SM)
If you have information, send it to the Administrator or myself and let us verify.
Otherwise, state it is YOUR opinion only.

Rumor? you mean no one has told you yet?

This is rumor. Nothing has been decided yet. sm
We are still getting final numbers from 2 different insurance companies. In the past, we have not qualified for a large group policy at a decent rate because of lack of participation. All of the big insurance companies want 50% of the employees to take the insurance and we did not have that in the past. It does look good this time though. We are hoping that the rates come back low but nothing is definite at this point.
Whoever spread that rumor
I've been paranoid ever since the pay cut rumors post - thanks, rumormonger for spreading needless misery!
In my opinion what you make is confidential and I have seen people get fired for discussing rates.
That all goes along in confidentiality agreements. I am in agreement with you though..it really is not anyone's business. If they want to know, they need to ask the company. The company will probably tell them.
Poll on ChartScript- Would you mind telling your likes and dislikes? nm

Their listing on mtjobs.com (#11) still has them in Wisconsin. A contact likes working for them,

Too funny - whenever someone likes their company or accounts, someone has to say "this person is
There are good and bad things about most companies. I'm just saying what I personally find to be true for this company. Take it or leave it.
That's a pretty wild rumor to be
circulating.
Do you know the definition of RUMOR? Sheesh!
You must be a riot at the laundromat! Yackety Yack!
