Trolls?
Any MT who defends being docked for errors, sounds more like management to me...
UNless your rate is so high as to be able to justify a very small deduction (for serious errors only), of course...
Yay, GP! Boo, trolls! nm
don't burn your bridges
happened to me too. there were six of us, they kept one. they kept telling us, don't worry. our job then ended. my advice, don't burn your bridges. i know you are angry. tell them you will be there for them in case it doesn't work, you will edit for them, etc. in my case, they tried their new system or whatever the hell it was and it didn't work. they hired be back to edit and eventually to transcribe again.
Burning bridges sm
If at all possible, don't burn any bridges in this business, but if you absolutely will never work for them again, then just quit. There are good companies out there.
Never burn your bridges. You never know who is
a
Please don't feed the trolls
zzzzzz
The reason I am sure these are NOT Trolls...
Because, honestly, this is they way they treat their MTs! It rings so true. They recruit VERY HEAVILY and go through MTs more than any other MTSO I have been with. That's why you see all these other MTs posting their negative experiences with SS.
They are trolls, just out to to antagonize.
They are common on the internet, and should just be ignored at all times. It was a very obvious troll post. Now that it had died down, it certainly will start up again by posting again about it. Please just let it go away. The only thing that should have been done is that the moderator should have removed the whole thread. That's what moderators are for. Legit posts get deleted all the time, but they leave this crapola sitting here.
I HATE trolls!
Just ignore these kinds of ignorant posters. They are lacking something in themselves that they feel they need to take out on others.
I am sorry about your job prospect, but I truly believe everything does happen for a reason. My thoughts are with you
some posters are trolls..
ignore
Take a leap. Just don't burn your bridges.

Actually, so many forums have been ruined by TROLLS
that they had to resort to moderator-approved posts or registration to get rid of the JERKS. You know what? I like those forums better because I'm sick of the constant negativity and trolling here. Why do I come back? I don't know. I've made some decent friends and networking contacts here. It's just not worth the constant negativity. I'm a happy person, and I like to hang out with other happy people. Negative people drag things down.
The owners of this board are trying to do a good thing here. This board is NOT a forum for trolls to flame others just to make themselves feel good.
I've got my crockpot full of spiced cider, a plate of sliced apples with caramel, pumpkins to carve, and popcorns balls to roll. That's way more fun than putting up with rudeness.
my opinion, don't burn bridges, especially in this business...
stay in good standing, if you can. this is assuming you had a good working relationship with no problems (?)
I left a few months ago, and only because of needing full-time work and more money. they were perfectly understanding...
Don't burn your bridges with this guy. With either of the suggestions mentioned below, he may
:l
Yep, just did with TT, well worth looking into if you didn't burn bridges. nm

I'd have to third that motion. In this biz, I never burn bridges I may have to cross later or sta
on. I do my best to work both until I see how it will work. Trust me, I have seen in only a day if there was potential or not at a new job. You get a feel for support, difficulty of work types, and overall general feel of what this new place is like. Besides that, when I first came home to do transcription and had to give notice, as this is what i had one previously in the outside world. Boy was I shocked when after giving my 2 weeks notice I found out I was locked out of the account. Apparently, my 2 weeks notice ended NOW....so beware and be cautious.
A good MT leaving with no burned bridges, will likely

Thanks. Trolls are easy to spot (and ignore). ;) nm

Very true. Good reason to never burn bridges in this biz.

This is the most classy way to quit. Remember, never burn your bridges either! nm

They are probably trying to hide again because they
have a horrendous reputation. They have moved from one state to another, hid behind the software company, and now they have changed their name it seems. The claim to be Christian, but their actions say otherwise.
I would avoid them at all costs.
You should never have to pay up front for equipment/software to work for a company. They may require you to have the equipment, but they should not require you to buy it from them and if they offer to sell it they should to it on a payroll deduction.
Nothing to hide - sm
Maybe personal files, pictures... I really don't think that anyone would choose to have someone have total access to their PC at anytime. Just what I think.
They all have something to hide. SM
Having a forum where they can suposedly answer questions is useless. Recruiters are not the appropriate people to find out about what it's like to work somewhere. They are paid to put a spin on every potentially negative thing - not to mention most of them have never typed a report. Companies also change recruiters like they change underwear, so getting an answer one day from one person means nothing when you are dealing with someone else.
The company owners are not appropriate because if you dared to ask about something that doesn't measure up, they tend to get very huffy and start demanding that posts be deleted.
really who cares if you have nothing to hide?
now if they are delving into your personal life then thats another story, thats just plain nosey. But a criminal background check is not a bad idea.
proveros cant hide
This is hilarious. I am sure shortly Syd or Sheri at Proveros will whine to take these posts down. Because it is defamatory. LOL But you can run but you cant hide. Proveros is a deplorable company to work for for FREE.. Bottom line over and over and over again.. Pay is LATE or NON existent. Whine away girls at Proveros. We all know the deal.
they aren't even trying to hide where sm
they are at anymore are they? They want Americans to come to Saudi Arabia?
Don't know if you remember this but back in the 80s and 90s, many MTs use to go to Saudi Arabia for a contracted amount of time to work as MTs. The draw for many MTs was the fact taht they money was ridiculously high, food and housing was free and MTs went over there to make the big bucks in a short time. Kind of like American civilian workers who go to Iraq to work contract jobs.
I know several MTs that went over there and for women the conditions were outrageous. you have to go by their laws.......you can imagine. I wonder if this is like that OR if this is something else and they actually expect Americans to come over there and work?
I don't even know why that website allows these companies to post their work ads. Ridiculous. Its like a big slap in the face.

If you say anything good about this company, the trolls want to knock you down,but..Sound is fine

I agree. A bunch of ugly trolls on the board today who like
trouble. And who obviously aren't typing right now. I just took a break and am back to where they appreciate me. At work for TT!
When a company is secretive about who they are, they are trying to hide something.
I won't respond to someone that does not say who they are because you have no clue whether or not they are even legitimate.
DITTO They used to hide it & fired former QA mgr
If they had NOTHING to hide she should have NEVER BEEN FIRED!! She was a super QA manager. When she got fired a mass exit of MT followed.
Be glad you did not go to work for OSI. You are much better off anywhere else.
Oh that's pathetic...trying to hide their names because they don't pay them MTs. These
companies need to have their names out there. I don't care what their excuse is...if a MT works for you, no matter how long or circumstances, pay them!!! They need to be turned in. I find it disgusting to NOT pay your employees and keep trying to recruit more suckers. Shame on them.
Because anonymity is a cloak to hide behind
No way would anyone speak to another person they way they do here. Most people have self-control, but here, that is thrown to the wind.
I didn't know people could be so mean to each other until I started reading on this board!
geesh, I thought the main board hosted the nasty trolls
:{
I wasn't aware that Medware was trying to hide their
involvement in India with Medware India. This is actually a very good program, just like the one Transcription Relief Services has going on.
Neither of these companies sneak around and hide the fact that they offshore and both companies still actively hire US MTs and editors.
I am very happy with my editing job at Medware and having the opportunity to work with some really great professionals in this industry.
If you would rather work for a company who offshores and then lies to their employees and clients about it, then go for it. To me that is a very unstable situation to be in.
Sending work offshore is a fact of life, the way a company goes about it is what makes the difference.
Spheris does not hide the fact it off shores. It was a
news letter.
Personally, I think that is awesome. They're not trying hide anything from anybody. I think tha
would be a company worth checking into.
If transcend has so much to hide and has to treat everyone with threats, they stay away.
That is a big red flag in everyone's face. From what I read, they are going downhill fast with lots of disgruntled employees anyway, so I am sure they will all leave the company "at will" when they find new jobs.
If you're not afraid to hide, then tell us who you are so we DON'T apply to your company!!!!
AND, if you don't NEED us for anything, then why are you HERE!! Go away!
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
