Off-shore men
These men are raised in a society where women are considered little more than property. Women have no voice, they are there strictly for the convienence of the men. The men come here expecting to live their lives and run their businesses as they did in their home country. In fact, many of the home offices of the MT companies are now in the third world countries. Ithink offshoring is showing to be a big wake-up call to the average US citizen as to how the globalization of the economy is going to go. It is not they we are pulling anyone UP to our level, it is more like we are being pulled DOWN to their level doing business. My experience with off-shored men is they have no respect for women, they are much less than honest, at least in business and any action justifies him getting what he wants. This is my experience from a business stand point.
No off-shore; they are big on that. sm
6 paid holidays, Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, MetLife dental (GOOD dental plan), and I think a week of PTO first year but it goes up after that. I've been there a long time (almost 9 yrs) so I don't know what new MTs start at. I like the shift differential and the incentive plan; don't judge on your base line rate offer - you can make a lot more.
TransHealth does not off shore.
you said off shore and New grad MT's
which means if I pay my experienced MT's 9 cpl, then the newbie should get 4 cpl, because I have to pay an Editor 5 cpl to QA their stuff to get it up to the 9 cpl quality. But then everybody screams about newbies only making 4 cpl????
Off Shore Folks
Last quote we got from an Indian company --- they were up to 7cpl for 24 hour TAT and 8cpl for 24 hour TAT. I suspect what with the continued decline of the value of the dollar, along with the concomitant raise in standard of living in India, this is an issue/problem which may be resolving itself.
Yes, some of the damage already done, but markets have a way of correcting themselves.

Like Ascend. There is an off-shore
connection and the owner is ESL.
Webmedx does not off-shore. nm

I think that off-shore workers
You just summed that up for me. I am glad you told the truth in that you like using slaves to transcribe who are none the wiser.
As an IC, I choose my own hours, days, lines, etc. You as an MTSO consider that whining, when it is the law.
So if you sleep at night knowing you are abusing and mistreating offshore workers, then good for you! It actually just proves you have no heart.
Another point I'd like to make is that if you need subs to make you money, you must be a horrible Transcriptionist yourself.
Any doctor that old me he doesn't care who types, when, and how would be off of my list of good doctors and I wouldn't waste my time. That doctor obviously doesn't care about people but only his own pocket and that would include you as the MTSO. That same doctor that told you he/she doesn't care will drop you as an MTSO in a minute when he/she finds a better deal.
Always remember, we reap what we sow. Try and have a good day, master!
North Shore
In Mass are you talking about. I was supposedly hired by them in 2004. They had me waste my gas and time driving there to train on their system. I was very well qualified if I don't mind saying. The owner has her little canary friend working for her. They are not a company I would recommend. I feel they are dishonest and sneaky. The owner sat with her fat arse in her office all day and counted her pennies. There line count was all funky..so just stay away.  
the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
Does Spheris off-shore? Do they have a New Jersey

Is this company off-shore owned? sm
I will bet this company is off-shore owned. My experience has been these companies expect US workers to work like off-shore workers. They think we are so grateful to have a job, any job, that they can walk all over us and we will take it, just like they do to their countrymen. US workers who go along with this kind of illegal abuse, deserve what they are getting. Make MT the job you want it to be, don't accept just anything. Pick and choose the companies you work for, find out if they are off-shore owned with the token US front men. Find the kind of accts you want to do and at a price that is agreeable to you. Testing gets easier every time you do it. Get proactive. This will take time, don't rush yourself and don't quit one job until you have another up and in place.
Silent Type definitely DOES NOT OFF SHORE!! (sm)
They are a great company to work for. CEO is totally hands on and knows whats going with her company; which is rare!! The more you produce the more you make, paid per page, not line!! A plus there, and bonus tiers for page counts. Once you try the best like ST, you won't regret the switch!
I understand they off shore to India and
may even have a company over seas as well. Not for me.
North Shore Transcription
Just curious if anyone here has ever worked for NST, Peabody, MA.
Most of the work is done off-shore. I feel

Another list of MTSOs who DO NOT Off-Shore and
I probably have some of these wrong and still missed a ton of companies, so please feel free to correct the list.
If I could not find a definite U.S. Transcriptionists Only, but did find NO OFFSHORE APPLICANTS I added it to the list. They could still off-shore, and just not put that in their Job Ad or on their Website. So, if any of the MTSOs below do off-shore, please correct.
Some do use Canadian MTs, but I did not think we were getting that picky.

North Shore Medical Transcription
Hi,
I just tried to send you an email but am not sure it went through. I worked for NSMT from 1991 till 1995 and all I can say is it's a very reliable and solid employer if you show you can be relied upon as well. It's really nice having a one-on-one rapport with the person(s) running the company. I ran across an ad recently by them on line, and its led by the same woman. She's a tough cookie, no nonsense, but a really good person and a terrific manager. As far as getting work and being paid on time, as an employee that was never a question for me. If she's doing IC these days, just keep in touch with her and she'll work with you I'm sure.
Everyone's different, but I'd say this company is definitely a good bet. I don't know what accounts they have these days, but there was a good variety. I worked on site at the Lahey Clinic most of my time there and it was a super assignment.
Correct --did NOT off-shore work to India sm
The rest of the post was **...SENT WORK TO INDIA A FEW MONTHS AGO** making it sound like MTs were laid off BECAUSE their work went to India.
If you have any familiarity with this company, you know that the none of the DRC/Acusis accounts are allowed by the clients to be typed outside of the US.
So YES, there was a lay-off, but NO it didn't have anything to do with India.
PS: Offshore and outsource are not the same thing. But you know that, too, right? ;-)
North Shore Transcription Company
Can anyone give me any information on this company. I was thinking about applying. I could not find a website for them on the Internet.
Correction to list below of Companies that do not off shore
Optiscript in State College,Pa DOES off shore. I was offered a job with them until I heard from a very reliable source that they even have offices out of the country. Stay away!
Does Encompass off-Shore? Ad says "At this time,
I saw the ad they have on mtjobs and find it curious.
They state:
At this time, we are unable to offer employment to persons living outside of the U.S.
Sounds like they have some non-US MTs working for them. Do they off-shore? Most ads just say NO NON-US Applicants, not AT THIS TIME?
Any insight?
Thanks.
Does anyone have actual experience in the quality of off-shore work?
A physical therapist in my area said they kept a file of the funniest errors they received from the off-shore work. I do believe that most of the hospital staff that get the work back care diddly-squat about quality -- it's probably not read, only filed.
Work is being sent off shore. Just like we are able to work
at home, the work can easily be done in India or the Phillipines.
What posting? (nm)
a
posting over and over
One reason these people keep posting is that they have multiple openings and are looking for the right fit.
Thanks for posting this. I know where I won't end up!
Thanks for the tip. You can bet I will not be posting anything
 about pay scale again, LOL. I was just trying to share something good and it backfired. Oh well, that's what I get for being happy I guess.
there was a posting...
about how they may require you to purchase expensive dictation equipment and you would always be out of work.
they say only 2 out of 10 will actually be hired. i applied with them. They send you a tape to transcribe with simple specs. i heard from them about 3 weeks later, and of course i failed.
if you go for it, im sure you'll do better as i only have 1.2 years experience with radiology. good luck.
You could be me posting

Posting (SM)
You obviously have not read the posting policies.
Company names can be used. It is individual accounts that cannot be discussed nor any information that identifies individuals at companies or otherwise. No company-specific information (i.e., internal memos, etc.).
I suggest you read the posting policies immediately. If you have any problems with any policy, you need to e-mail either myself (moderator@mtstars.com) or the Administrator (admin@mtstars.com). Either way, anymore of these petty complaints about posting poicies are going to be deleted.
in re of me posting
Are you on some kind of drugs? If not, maybe you need some. The original poster was only stating something that happened, you took it waaaay overboard chickie poo. Ease up. Life is short!
Thanks for posting! (sm)
If I am reading your post correct, it seems that the high producers would not triple their lines but someone transcribing lower lines would see a better increase. Does that sound about right?
One more question - what is your opinion on the platform for VR?
Thank you, again!
no one knows who is posting except to say....
website owners can see who is posting, see the IPS/DNS and what OS (operating system) many poster is on so this website CAN/COULD hold folks responsible for their posts.
Thank you for posting this!
They are advertising for radiology MTs and I was considering applying with them. Not gonna happen.....
Thank you all for posting. Appreciate it! nm

There is more than one ME posting here :)
but I'm not one who believes your company is supplying work to Barbados.
Instead there is an *appearance* of mining the workforce there for a CHEAPER labor force than what you can find in the U.S.
Where are your 200 online students located? In the US?
:)
another posting...
I see this person has posted again today. Is there anyway to check if this is a legitimate company? It is kinda hard to tell with an aol email address 
Thank you for posting that, SM
It sounds as if our experiences were very similar. I'm leaving at the end of next week. I can tell from your posts we were on the same large account.
I thought it was just ME. I was working hard too, trying to learn all the gazillons of doctors and locations, etc. and my line counts were in the toilet. I have 10 plus years of experience so I'm NOT a newbie. My DH and I figured I am making about $800/month less than I was a year ago at this time. Yep, it was THAT bad.
Oh, and nice people. Really nice people to deal with most of the time. However, nice isn't paying my bills!!
Anyway, thanks for posting, because it's really good to hear I'm not the only one! I feel so isolated working there.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have seen someone posting they had 15
accounts in their profile and that they had no work a couple of months ago. Who in the world wants 15 sets of account specifics to deal with and hundreds of dictators.
I'm so glad I left Webmedx. I now have 1 account that has enough work for me to work 24/7 if I want to.
Thanks for posting
I was thinking to supplement or do 2 part time. I have used DQS and really like it, maybe just because I got used to it, I don't know. I just don't like the feeling of being at the mercy of having income dependent on only one source, especially when things slow down and everyone seems to have TAT of about 30 seconds anymore on what is there. Anyway, thanks again for the info! 
Hey where did u see a job posting for them?
Maybe if i reapply and get rehired they will PAY me the several thousand they already owe me! Yeah right! Run as far away as possible. Seriously though, please share with us the hiring process because I guarantee you at least 9 people are on the lookout and are dying to know.
What does sm and nm mean when posting?
Trying to learn the lingo!
?? Who IS this guy, & why is he posting all this
Why does he think any of us CARE about office politics in India?
Posting here regarding this,
A lot of people have not kept their contracted promise, at least I gather that, because they now have the prn program where for a lower line rate you can work anytime you want and at any line count you want. Apparently, months ago a lot of people were not living up to their promise, and so they hired to compensate. Now there are those who do keep a promise and run out of work because of the lack of balance. So they put in this prn program so that those of us who do keep the line counts and promises have more work when the prn program kicks in. Problem is, how does an MT keep a full time line promise when work keeps running out. I plan on asking for as many accounts as possible to stay on because work is low everywhere at least from what I can see and this company is at least honest regarding pay and the essentials. I think that it is combination of MDI having to keep client contract with TAT, and the overhiring to compensate when already-hired MTs did not keep their promise. MDI is trying to make up for that now, don't know, however, if enough people don't leave or if enough new accounts are not won, if we will ever be able to all have work.
Thanks for posting that...
some MTs do not take pride in their work and it is so frustrating.
Thank you for posting this..sm
Very interesting. I doubt that anything will actually come of it, at least in the near future, but it sure is nice to see our concerns in print and backed up by a study.
Thanks for posting this
Thank you for posting this! I work for Landmark and I start working for Probity in January. It's nice to see the opinions of my two employers and I liked the opinions they expressed. Intersting article.
Thanks for posting...
I have never personally worked with you before, but thank you for posting. As MTs we have our own frustrations, but I think we sometimes forget that MTSOs are facing their own issues as well. I imagine it's not easy to balance keeping in TAT and not overhiring, keeping MTs happy and also keeping clients happy. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes juggling that goes on that we MTs never deal with. That's part of the reason I am an MT and have no desire to be an MTSO.
