Mts have "personality disorders" ? Like, wanting to be paid what their worth and not lied to?
Posted By: lbl on 2007-12-11
In Reply to: The job hoppers are 2 kinds-SM - answer for you
How about vacation? Bereavement leave and not losing benefits because your parent is dying and you miss a quota?
Or, how about wanting a 401-K and employer contribution? Or medical and dental benefits? Is wanting those a personality disorder?
Or, wanting to make production, but getting NO WORK day after day, or getting only the worst dictators?
Let me know where you work where it is perfect, because I want to work there, too. But, I also want benefits and vacation and bereavement leave and a 401-K, as a minimum, and I want steady work, like I am a steady worker, and I want to be paid what I deserve, and I want some good work along with all the crap.
Thanks. Let me know. ONLY a profession of predominantly women would call the other women crazy for wanting the basics. Sheesh. Again, email me with that perfect job, because I'd like to have one just like it.

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?
All the ones I never lied to !!!

lied to again
I'm IC, too. Your line requirement is 4000 lines in a pay period -- I was told a while back that ALL of the offices were going to require 6000 lines for IC's.
I have to say, though, I was never lied to by MQ
I'm not trying to start a MQ dispute here, I know this isn't the MQ board, but I left Precyse and went to MQ and I have been treated sooooo much better there and way more professional than I have ever been with Precyse. Although, I think that any company would have treated their employees more professional than my supervisor.
I am the type of person that doesn't need my hand held, I would rather have minimal communication...BUT when I have a question and the lack of work is making my pay go to ZILCH.. It is their job to stop badgering me about line counts when e-mail upon e-mail was sent to them about not having work.
.. I bet you can guess my pay because this was my average 5 day, 25 hour week... log on work for 20 minutes, but never more than 1 hour...no work the rest of the night...then hear about you have to make that time up ..lol, when? I tried to get my schedule changed for that exact reason and was absolutely, flat out denied.
Like I have said before, I guess maybe it isn't the company itself, but the lovely supervisors that are hired that make or break your experience.
Again...they should not have LIED.
Not every MTSO requires this. If I am being hired to QA...then my QA skills should be assessed. If I was a poor MT I never would have been able to pass the testing. If I am a poor MT it will show in the work that I QA.
they lied. NM
.
They flat out lied to me then. They said
they do not get any kind of pay at all. Hmmmm....
Oh come ON! She lied her head off. sm
She lied on the boards right up to the minute the electronic e-mail came out that said she had sold the business. Good gracious, some people have a short memory. And when she was in the process of selling, she was send out e-mails saying how sick she was of all her MTs and talked about their K-Mart clothes and Kathie Lee hair. I remember those e-mails being posted. Pretty bad. LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE.
That is terrible, to be lied to and out of a job
At OSi I took maternity leave and they constantly called me to work no matter what I told them.
The person that told you that LIED like a rug.
If you have it in writing, I'd turn them in to the FTC or BBB for false advertising. $30,000 is pretty respectable.
Well, think about it!! They lied to the MTStars Admin.
nm
The fact that the offshore and lied about it so they
could advertise here and when they were banned, they tried to hide their postings inside other posts and continued to post shows that the ethics don't exist. I wouldn't need any more information than that.
Other than the offshore, lied about it and got caught you mean.
Are you referring to the same HR person who lied about
Look in the archives (9/05)for a series of posts about KS where several people posted that the HR person told them that she had worked there for X number of YEARS when in fact she had only been there a couple of weeks.
I was one of the people she told this to. I am also one of the people who waited weeks to be contacted AFTER I HAD BEEN OFFERED A POSITION. Check it out for yourself. I have no reason to lie. I don't think anybody else has any reason to lie. The person you are referring to who gave you the stats about applicants and testing has lied before.
I urge you to find the conversation on MTSTARS that I am referring to that occured in 9/05.
One more thing...they lied on their web site
When I applied with them, it stated on their web site that they paid for spaces. After starting work with them, I discovered that they didn't, and when I questioned them about it, they stated that they had changed their line counting program and hadn't yet changed the web site. Well, the last I looked, their web site said yes, we pay for spaces, so if anyone is desperate enough to go work for this company, I would make down sure it is in the contract what the time frame for payment is and whether or not they do in fact pay you for spaces. They are very devious at Rapid Transcript.
wow 10 minutes a lot of time. She could have lied to you said sure ...
was okay and then have it rejected once you go hired like a lot of places have done and will keep doing.
You are lucky she was trying to at least work with you.
Actually, it is my business, when I have been lied to in the past about (sm)
why I am getting a pay cut.
Also, if you are an IC, there is not unemployment tax, worker's comp and normally, there is no rent, because they work out of their homes.
If they have been in business for a few years, you can be sure that their equipment and software are paid off. Again, no expense. Most companies do not provide equipment anymore, just the software and that is recycled if someone leaves.
You are right, I don't have to be concerned if there is coverage for the work. What I have to be concerned with is if there IS work and if I am going to be able to pay my bills at the end of the month.
And actually, I think it is everyone's business working for an MTSO, to know what their company charges the client. Why hide it?
Transcend recruiter lied to me
When I itested, interviewed and was offered a job at Transcend, the recruiter proceeded to tell me about this really nice account. Turns out it was an account that I had worked on at Medquist, and it was far from nice. As a matter of fact, it was one that I recalled as being among the worst. I called her on this, and she tried to take back and edit what she had plainly said. I figured, if the recruiter could lie about that, what else was she lying about? I declined the position. So, beware....
Well, I guess I got lied to by the recruiter then. Nice.

OSI lied when a company I worked for outsourced to OSI and .......
The gentleman representing OSi was present offering five of us a job with OSI. I point blank asked the gentleman if OSI outsourced their work, because I did not want to work for a company who outsourced overseas. His response was, No they did not; however, if they ever felt the need to do so because a client specifically requests them to do so, they would have to consider the client's request. I had just cut out an article not three days before that meeting where an OSI executive stated they were outsourcing accounts to overseas. I did not have it with me because at the time of the meeting, we did not know that the meeting was to tell all of us we were outsourced, no more job, see ya or I would have shoved the article in his face after his answer. Of course, I had no intentions of ever working for them, but just wanted to see what people like that say when directly asked. Oh well, if that is how they run their business, it will catch up with them eventually.....
It is his choice who he offers what position to. He should not have lied about it, but I think
:+
I guess if I got screwed out of my paycheck or got lied to by an employer I'd have a rotten att
This board is a great way to find out about an unsavory company before those things happen to you. If you think warning people about scheisters, liars, bottom feeders, and rip-off artists is amusing, time to double up on your meds, sweetheart.
Nope, the board administrator checked with OSI and they lied to her and got caught.

Isn't Wal-Mart the company that lied/replaced labels several years back with Made in USA? nm

Not wanting to know...
what anyone's cpl rate is, just would like to know if after working for this company a while, do they give raises at all?
I am not trying to find anything out at all...just curious if you are with them for some time, do they give you raises? That's all I would like to know.
I am currently an IC and wanting to
if I will be able to maintain the amount of money I make now as an IC. I currently type around 190-200 or so reports a day. Is this doable at Keystrokes? TIA
Thanks, wanting to know
The reason I am making changes is because of no work/low work where I am. Maybe this kind of nonsense goes on everywhere these days.
WANTING ISN'T GETTING...SM
As an IC they cannot demand a schedule AND THEY KNOW IT! They are breaking the law if they do, simply stated. You are giving up employee benefits, PTO, insurance, etc. in exchange for that flexibility. But there are always going to be MTs that will give them their cake and let them eat it, too. 
actually, was just wanting to know myself
if anyone works or worked for the Nevada location that can tell us the good, bad and ugly.
I don't believe you, but if true, then MQ is obviously not wanting
There is no way to meet the demands they are setting forth for employee.
Thank you. I am aware of that. I am wanting
Thanks for your input.
I am wanting information on
Good companies, pay on time, etc? Thank you.
Don't blame you for wanting out. All

What's the purpose of them wanting
you to log everything? Like country below, I always just jot down as downloading, but it sounds like maybe you are doing something a little more extensive? If they require it to get paid, I guess you don't have much choice...but if you're talking major log keeping, that would take up a lot of time  I've just always done it for my own peace of mind, actually did have incident of DQS some time ago not counting a report I did, had to contact supervisor and got it corrected. Also many years ago with MQ in the old days before DQS, there was some glitch happened, and I was very luck to have the job numbers, as I had to tell the person calling me late at night what jobs I had done...
i'm wanting to get out the MT business myself sm
i love what i do, like you all say, finding work that pays good, the trust issues, and actually, i would like to leave my work at work instead of my computer staring me in the face, and me thinking, gosh, i could be sitting there working right now, or my problem lately is my work is running out. the company i work for hires too many people to work. i've been seriously thinking about going back to school and becoming a radiology technologist. i do miss communicating with people face to face. i want to make a difference in someone's life. i definitely want to stay in the medical field. i couldn't imagine not doing something medical. right now i have two young boys that i really want to stay home until they are little older. they are both in elementary school right now. i even thought about working at the school somehow. i wouldn't make as much money as i do typing, but i can see what goes on at the school. this is a great topic!
sad that you think wanting a baby is
completely unnecessary. I worked for an IVF clinic and I would not call it a crap shoot, either - cold, cold, cold.......
What info are you wanting?..n/m

She was wanting to know if the disconnect was
a problem with her cable or with the hospital system. The freezing up is definitely the hospital. All the connection issues is definitely the hospital system and the slowness is the hospital system per their tech.
The C-phone disconnect I believe is a cable issue.

Those wanting to unionize should probably
Friday, July 18, 2008
When management becomes unreasonable, when benefits shrink and get more expensive at the same time, and when the average salary increase is way
less than the inflation rate, here’s something you can do: Form a union.
And on Long Island, you wouldn’t be alone. Just don’t let management know what you’re up to – it could get you in trouble.
There are already 650,000 construction workers, teachers and grocery and health care workers in unions on Long Island today, and as economic conditions
worsen, some employees are hoping to take cover by turning to organized labor.
John Durso, president of Local 338 RWDSU/UFCW and the Long Island Federation of Labor, said frustrated employees generally meet off-site to air their
grievances without fear of retribution.
“Sometimes they just want to get things off their chest, want somebody to listen,” Durso said.
Sometimes, however, it’s a lot more than that. If one-third of the employees sign on to join the union, an election is held and a petition is filed with the
National Labor Relations Board.
And that often leads to a fight.
It shouldn’t, Durso said. He said in the best circumstances, unions and employers work as partners to make a company better.
“It doesn’t make any sense for a union to make it so unworkable that an employer cannot grow or expand,” Durso said. “If you have the right attitude, the
right work environment, there’s no reason why an employer and a union cannot work together.”
Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Companies faced with negotiating contracts with unions could stall, because if a deal isn’t reached within a year,
the union needs to be recertified.
“Nothing in law requires them to reach a contract. They are just required to negotiate in good faith,” said Bruce Millman, an attorney with Melville employment
law firm Littler Mendelson, representing employers.
To fight the stalling, unions are pushing federal lawmakers to pass the Employee Free Choice Act, which would make it easier to form a union. It would also
force binding arbitration in case of an impasse, thus eliminating stall tactics.
But Bob Archer, managing partner of Melville’s Archer, Byington, Glennon and Levine, which represents labor and employee benefits clients in the building
trades, entertainment and service industries, said he doesn’t expect the Employee Free Choice Act to pass under a Republican president.
Not all contracts stall, however, and once a first contract is reached, the union is official. Then members need only to pay a set amount of dues each year.
In 2004, the latest year with complete data, dues nationwide averaged $377 per month.
Another interesting note: Long Island’s unions are becoming more white collar.
For instance, adjunct professors at Stony Brook University and New York University recently became union employees, said Tom Conoscenti, chief
economist for the Long Island Contractors Association and the Long Island Builders Institute.
He said the adjuncts formed a union to receive amenities such as offices, a pension plan and health benefits.
Joining a union has hardly led to the elimination of “the struggle.” Traditional blue-collar industries, such as construction and plumbing, are feeling the
pressure of undocumented workers taking what had been union jobs, Archer said.
“That is an X factor that we have not seen in the past,” Archer said. “It’s more of an issue of competing against employers that use unregulated workers.”
Those employers are seeking cheaper labor, especially when prices for land, and subsequent property taxes, on Long Island are among the highest in the
nation.
The politics of labor has stretched from the Suffolk County Legislature to Albany.
For example, Hauppauge-based Bactolac Pharmaceuticals recently battled the unions and the Legislature over building a new headquarters at the
Hauppauge Industrial Park. The unions and supportive legislators wanted the company to hire contractors who paid a prevailing, or union, wage in exchange
for $6 million in state Empire Zone benefits.
Although the company originally balked, it eventually gave in, holding numerous meetings with union officials and promising to offer each contractor a fair
shake.
Also, the teachers union has played a large role in fighting a plan to create a 4 percent property tax cap, Conoscenti said.
The Commission for Property Tax Relief originally pitched the tax-cap proposal in May. Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi headed that group. The
proposal was endorsed by Gov. Paterson, but faced strident opposition from other New York leaders, including Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon
Silver of Manhattan.
They are not alone in wanting numeral sm
instead of spelling said numeral out. Supposedly it is because the SR engine will insert the number 2 or 1 or 6 and they want all work to look consistent.
At least that's the story at my company.
I think Stargazer is right about not wanting us to know (sm)
I've been with the same company for 10 years and still run into the same thing, have never been given an explanation. I think at least sometimes it's overflow from the hospital that they were sitting on, but ???
Etransplus current wanting to know if I am alone
I am a bit frustrated and before I decide to leave them I just want to see if I am alone or not. I have been with them well over a year and stuck it out. Please email me if you work there and are frustrated as well. Thanks
If you are not wanting to read the posts, don't. (SM)
There is no need to harass posters just because you aren't agreeable to what they post.
Goldbird
Wanting to know about their system/program. TIA.
any Van-Belkum employees wanting
if they are happy there and if they are making their lines? ');>
Wanting to leave MQ, would you mind
sharing what company you are with? Like you I do not need benefits...and I want flexibility again..
If you had posted without wanting the referal $$, then it would seem more like sm
you were just trying to help. But you're right, it is just my opinion. More power to you ... hope it works out for you.
Which would you pick. Just wanting advice, and different
points of view:
FutureNet, E-Transplus, or MDI.
Perhaps a combination of 2 of the above? Any advice welcome. Having to decide. Thanks in advance.
I've never seen a job posting wanting an
'acute care MT' who didn't expect the MT to do OPs. Acute care = hospitals = everything including OPs and special procedures. Now of course they will hire people who can't do OPs and let them just do DS, ER, etc., but again, that's being hired to do those specific acute care work types & does not cover the entire area of acute care.
Talk about wanting the best of both worlds!
The job ad for the IC paying 7 cpl, and you MUST work these certain days and hours, NO EXCEPTIONS! Huh? She needs to change her ad to employee status! I don't get it!
