pretty hateful sounding
I reread my posts and I said Fine that I understood what you were saying was rude.  I was just commenting about the line count issue at Transcend, giving MY opinion.  I have yet to see in any of my posts anything rude or sarcastic towards you.  I don't understand why your posts to me have an accusatory or rude context to them.  I disagree with you on certain issues that we have talked about here.  There is nothing wrong with that.  I understood and understand what you thought was rude.  Okay, get over it!  I am done talking about that, I was just trying to give my opinion about the company.  I could care less about having the last word or not.  I just want to give my opinion that happens to represent a fair amount of MTs out there who happen to be happy at their company.  Sorry if that bothers you to the core! 
I should not have posted sounding angry. The
fighting back and forth is juvenile and I am not going to take part in it any longer. The only drama with Keystrokes is on these boards. Please don't let it stop you from applying. We want long-time, solid, steady MTs.
I think its more of a "rhythm" sounding thing. sm
You know if you type the word the with three letters, it sounds different than a word with six letters. I don't know how to explain it but I can hear the typos! Yeah we learned in the same era! I remember those black strike-arm typewriters we had when learning in school! I can remember typing 80 wpm on those. I bet I couldn't type 10 wpm now on one! That is just too funny!
Sounding kinda paranoid.
Why are you so up in arms? Some of your comments sound like you're a caffeinated conspiracy theorist.

For instance, you think IC's billing statements will be scrutinized.

Uh, I have no problem with my bills being scrutinized. They are absolutely accurate and in keeping with my contract. Why would anybody be concerned unless they were trying to fudge the system, hmmmm?


As far as companies putting Spyware on ... pfffft. I go through a HIPPA compliance training session every year. Takes, what, 10 minutes? I sign the paper. Everybody's happy.

Mountain.

Molehill.

Learn to differentiate the difference and you'll be a much more relaxed person, IMO.
At the risk of sounding offensive
You must be doing something wrong. Admittedly, every opening posted gets probably 100 applicants, but they are still hiring good people. I hated the job I had, applied/tested/interviewed for one that sounded good, and got that at 9 cpl. I wanted some easy typing, so I applied/tested/interviewed for another one, similar to the one the OP is looking for and got that one for 8.5 cpl.

Of course, now that the company has read that they can find chumps to sit and type it for 7 cpl, my job security may be out the window. Of course, the same people that will screw their fellow American MTs out of work by working for that amount will be the first ones on here crying about how they lost their account because it got sent offshore just to save a few pennies.
be careful, you are sounding like a cheerleader. Dont

Lots of Indian workers use "American"-sounding

FOREIGN MT

YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT.  FOREIGN OR NOT, THESE PEOPLE DESERVE THE RIGHT TO LEARN AND PRODUCE AND MAKE A LIVING.  WE ARE TO POMPOUS AS INDIVIDUALS IN THIS BUSINESS. ONLY AMERICANS CAN PRODUCE QUALITY, BOLOGNA.  I AM A QA SWAT TEAM MEMBER OF A LARGE SERVICE AND WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF OFFSHORE WORK DONE, THE QUALITY IS BETTER THAN MOST AMERICAN MTs.  YES THEY ARE NOT PRIVY TO AMERICAN SLANG AND TO THEM THE LANGUAGE A LANGUAGE, MUCH LIKE AN ESL DOCTOR TO US, SO DOES THAT MEAN WE DON'T TRANSCRIBE, SWEAT AND MANY TIMES LEAVE BLANKS ALL OVER THE PLACE.  WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH OUR ATTITUDES ABOUT THESE FOLKS.  YES THEY MAKE MISTAKES, BUT THEY ARE THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE OF OUR TRADE.  THE MORE HOSPITALS, CLINICS, ETC WANT COMPETITIVE CHARGES, THE MORE YOU WILL USE INDIANS, CHINESE, KOREANS, ETC TO APPLY THIS TRADE.


I CAN SPEAK AFTER 20+ YEARS.

Not foreign company
I work for Globespan Medical, Inc and it is not a foreign company as you are thinking. They are based out of California and do not outsource, so not sure what you are seeing and where that they are foreign.
not foreign either but can't get to the site. nm

Foreign Company
You don't want to work for a foreign company why? I'm sure that you purchase items from foreign companies. Everything is going overseas because it is cheaper. Focus is a great company to work for. I've been there for 1 year and haven't had any issues with them. Just because they are foreign doesn't make them a bad company.
Once foreign owned, always foreign owned.

Let us know when you accomplish that with foreign MTs.
I'm curious as to how long it takes.
So now we have to put up with this foreign garbage.... sm
undercutting us and taking our work with such poor grammar? You've got to be kidding. This is ridiculous.

If you click on that job listing, at the bottom of the page is a moderator link. Click on that and it will bring up all the moderators e-mails. Let's all e-mail them with thumbs down and get these messages removed.

Red angry smiley face to these moderators and definite thumbs down.
This is a foreign company.
This will offshore all they can. The American MT is the bottom feeder here. Beware!
I smell a foreign spy. You need to...
Leave the board before I report you to Customs and Immigration. LOL.
If you look up the foreign name and the web address

it's associated with /transindiatranscribers.  If you're concerned about offshoring, might want to give this one a miss.


 


 


Sure it does. It's a myth that foreign cars are better. sm

Does anyone keep jap cars long enough to find out?    We have American vehicles ranging from 2001 back to 1960.  Still running.  It started in the 70s when the factories started closing as goods were being made in Japan, and continued on.   Now it's China and India gobbling up our jobs. 


If the new owners allow foreign posts,
at the top of the JobSeekers page.  It's the second listing on it.  It very clearly states no MTs outside of the US.  I realize it dates pre-new owners, but they should remove that if they are going to allow such postings.
Oh, I agree, but the owner is foreign, so

Webmedx is NOT offshore, nor foreign owned. 100% US. nm

And stop buying foreign cars for crying out loud. sm
Look at the 10s of thousands of workers who are being laid off from GM and Ford after giving decades of their lives.  Thanks to all you people who buy foreign cars.

The *American* AAMT now giving memberships/CMTs to foreign MTs....
Shouldn't they at least change the name to UN-AMT or something like that! lol
This is sounding like a repeat, repeat
