Most of the time they don't even know who is working for them. They never call. They never write.

Good news to hear! At least some companies are
trying!  Best of luck to you in 2006!
Worst place I've ever worked. I hear a lot about
a better than average pay, but no one ever says what it is. If you do QA they need to pay hourly. When I was QA I was better off retyping the reports.
They use Start/Start and require you to purchase it. When I worked there they got a $20 discount if you told the company you worked for SoftScript, not sure if still that way.
I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, but I do still have my foot pedal and software if you're interested.
No news is good news for me. I check my audited reports all the time
If I need to talk with one of them, I call or IM them. But, no, I have learned that if I am doing a good job, they leave you alone to do your work. They are not in any way a company that micromanages as long as you do what you are supposed to. If you give them a reason to think you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing, they will keep an eye out on your work, etc.
It has nothing to do with MTStars or the owner of MTStars. It
has to do with the fact that the person who posted gave enough information that the company recognized who it was. We, at MTStars, do not give anyone information about who posts what.
I thought no news is good news, too. Then got email about

I guess no news is good news! :-)
Thanks anyway!
If no news is good news why is a person

I agree - no news is good news - sm
They are busy making sure you have work and want you to stay productive and busy. What is there to talk about? I personally like being left alone to do my work. As long as you get a check and the work keeps flowing, just do your thing!
Is this news should have been labeled NEWS ALERT ...
This is breathtaking information and everyone who works at TT or is considering has the right to know. It will be buried with a title like is this news? It seems as if you are responding to the first poster's complaint of no work.
Sometimes.....NO news is Good news. sm
Maybe you are doing just fine and everything is correct. Maybe they do no feel you need feedback because your quality is excellent!!
Good thought for the day :-) !!
good news and bad news ----
Good - plenty of work, just landed a new acct.
Bad - Check posts from a few weeks back. Out of the blue, everyone got a huge pay cut.
Not me. I hope there is a special place reserved for them in a very hot place.

Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
Thank you and thank MTStars..NM

Maybe MTStars
is also hindering your production?

This board is really a great help when looking for employment. There are many positive posts that turn out to be decent companies, and then there are also negative posts about experiences each person has had. Both perspectives should be allowed and not discouraged with threats. Just maybe, these companies that are trying to decrease our wages even further and are deceptive in their business practices will be put out of business eventually and we might see a new trend. There are a few businesses posted about regularly on this board that have the same issues come up time and time again. I see these as red flags. On the flip side it is just as important to let people know if you've found a good thing (this does not include recruiters on here making untruthful posts for their benefit). This might encourage companies that are treating their MTs well and are above reproach to continue to strive towards making this once again a decent career path. One could only hope that a board like this would be able to make a significant difference in the way things have been going by networking and sharing our information.

But what about those ads up at the top of MTStars? Those
are their sponsers/advertisers. One of those could also place a job post with MTstars.
I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't.

MTStars Ad Policy
That USED to be the policy - but according to the www.mtstars.com homepage: The hands of time cannot be turned back on the widespread transfer of information globally and as of January 1, 2006, MTStars opened itself up to include the global environment. MTStars limits this only to allow US Transcription Services that outsource offshore to post open jobs seeking US QA Editors. DIRECT offshore posting, communication, solicitation is still prohibited. Translation: Only companies that are BASED offshore are not to advertise through this site. Hope this helps!
Just sent you an email through MTStars (nm)
Thanks
The owner of MTStars?
I thought Sheri owned it? (though I haven't been here in a while)
Well, MTStars does have a system set up
lack of a better word - I guess its handled on an individual basis at times, i.e. whether to permanently ban or temporarily ban or just a word of warning. I know from experience.  There are definitely outright trolls, and that is true, but I know even from my own experience, I can just get so angry sometimes at something that I do lose it and say things that I probably actually would have said to someone's face, but maybe not. I don't know. As the posters above have said, we can be a very unappreciated and abused employee, MTs as a whole, and many of us are in very frustrating work situations, more so in these hard times, so, yes, tempers flare. I think most flares here are from those who just refuse to validate others' experiences, i.e. the happy MTs who viciously attack the unhappy MTs, whether just in general or specifically company related. That is so sad. The MTs finally vent, as really none of us have anyone to talk to or understand in real life, and they get squashed and called names, or insulted that they must be having problems due to poor skills, etc. That's so sad and I generally then find myself attacking people I think are attacking other people. Its just human nature for all of us, though the name calling and stuff is very poor judgment. I think its happening more of late because of the financial issues that are impacting us all - bosses and MTs alike. I appreciate the current editing of this forum, as I said earlier it used to be so heavily edited that it was 100% skewed to hide the truth about the site owner's favorite companies, i.e. advertisers, sponsors, or employment affilitations, etc. I 100% agree that it was her perogative to do so, as she owned it, but it was done in such a way that nobody knew that things were being skewed that way. So, it was a form of misrepresentation, though, again, her right. So, I hope that for the most part what I read on here these days is a bit more unfiltered - might not be happy news, but perhaps its more fair and balanced, as they say!
well I am sitting here on MTstars so...
That means there are no jobs. I ran out about an hour ago. Guess I will grab some lunch and try again later. Have a good one.
I'm on MTstars posting so...
work is still low. Been able to meet my committment, but it takes all day.
MtStars, new soap..i love it!
I ditto your sentiments..it IS like getting hooked to a soap. I read so many posters that tend to go for the jugular, when an opinion is posted contrary to some beliefs. My daughter, who is also an MT, but in house at a hospital, just got "hooked" on this board and can't believe how "catty" some can be.
Well, it is all over, in house or at home, in medical transcription or K-Mart, been around for ages, but sometimes it gets brutal in my book.
I won't flame you for being a MQ MT...been there myself for close to 10 years now and it works for me, period.
Love the MTStars Job board....
No Jobs from MTSOs involved in offshoring, sending good/easy dictators to India, Pakistan, Philippines etc and keeping the ESL garbage for us here.

Yep. Go to the home page for MTStars

Keep your eye on the MTstars job seekers board.
There are ads for ortho accounts quite often, but the ads are usually deleted when the positions are filled.
YES! On MTStars you are allowed to say CHRISTMAS!
Well, think about it!! They lied to the MTStars Admin.

MTStars administration says time and again...s/m
MT Stars has said time and time again to NEVER correct other posters misspellings and/or incorrect grammar.
Play nicely now, or don't you all know how to follow the rules, which, by the way, are for everyone!
ATSI Thread on MTStars
I saw a recent job listing on another site for an MT radiology position with ATSI, then I came here to find info about them. Doesn't sound promising. Link to short thread about ATSI is included.
And another, more recent thread on MTStars
http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/86381.html
yes, MTStars says it is okay to give company name.

You are committing libel against MTStars. sm
MTStars does not provide ANY information on any poster to any individual or company.
If you receive an email through the MTStars board, the ONLY way your email address is exposed is if you respond back to them.
MTStars Team
Hmmmm. Did you just suggest that people not come to MTStars?
You are a total mess, and how anyone could take anything you say seriously is beyond me.
You have a real problem! Please seek help!
instead of calling this MTStars, why not call it MQstars - sm
 yes, I am being sarcastic, but it seems like the non-MedQuist people have to weed, dig, hack and puke through all the MQ posts just to get to read anything on this board!
There, I feel better now that I have vented. 
That is a Google ad, it is not an MTStars banner. Take a closer look.

Was let go from Zylomed because of posting to MTStars board
Just a little followup to my post of 10-14-06 post to this board. The Zylomed MT manager failed to address the real issue I raised concerning taking away regular work without notice or explaination, but decided to let me go today because of my post about their company to this board. So, because of my comments I have been let go. Maybe it's best to not name company names (excuse me, my tongue is in my cheek) on a board that's specifically designed to uncover these problems. So, MTs beware, I guess. However, I received many supportive emails from others visiting this board--one of those kind MTs referred me to another service that I'm starting with tomorrow (while I beat the pavement locally.) Much happier MT today! Feel like I can breathe again. This board has awesome support. All worked out well.
Isn't that the MTStars Administrator/owner's business?

Just to advise, that company does not have access to MTStars
