At least people, men and women, can now take off for that special time. This is not the same by any means, but I remember working inhouse quite a few years ago and our supervisor had everyone so terrorized and in fear or being off that a woman had her gallbladder out and came back to work the next day! I hope those days are gone.

I can understand you are angry, but the
only one you are hurting it you. Let it go and move on. Actually I think they did you a favor. It wasn't the worst place I've ever worked, but certainly not the best. There have been lots of changes since I left and they haven't been good ones for the most part from what I've read from the numerous posts here.
Unfortunately if you are new finding another job probably isn't going to be that easy, but if you don't adjust your attitude you're not going to last anywhere. I'm not trying to be hateful either.
I can understand that if the work is low. While you need to make
up lines, it isn't fair to others to not have work on their shift either. Depending on the workload for my accounts the work is only low about 1/2 day on Mondays and then there is lots to go around, which is when I try to make my up lines.
I don't understand why people make posts
telling people to stop whining. Isn't that the whole purpose? We work remotely and as a result we need this catalyst to communicate with one and other. If you don't like people venting then YOU should stay off!!
Unkind remarks
I find it quite disturbing to see unkind remarks on this board. We are professionals, should act accordingly, and try to support and help our brother and sister MTs. Puffing about line counts and insulting others is just plain mean spirited. Everyone gets something different to deal with. Can't we be decent here? Who else but others in our profession would understand the complexities and diverse situations we get thrown into on a daily basis. Things are not like they were 10 or 15 years ago in this business. Lets share information, give support, stick together, and be kind.
unkind remarks
I agree with you, Sherry.
Keep the personal remarks to yourself.
You are entitled to your opinion, but so am I entitled to mine, and I am always willing to engage in honest debate about any point. I am also willing to agree to disagree. But making personal wisecracks crosses the line, and does not further the discussion.
As for me being 'untrue,' you don't know the first thing about me, who I am and what I'm made of, so unless you can prove to the world at large that you really DO know me (which you don't), again, keep the personal remarks to yourself.
No worries...
I'm in complete agreement with a policy like that. However, since ____, and likewise myself, have come on and used our real names, I can only assume that this entitles others to use our name in this thread. However, I will not post the name of who I believe is the original poster unless and/or until she posts it herself. Somehow, I don't think that will happen. :o) Cheers!
I'm new there too and this worries me. sm
I personally have not had any problems, but I am not up to my full amount yet either. I have been released from QA and have been working without problems, but now I am concerned. Switching jobs was a very stressful process for me to begin with and I don't want to have to do it anytime soon.
No worries..
We knew what you meant :)
no worries
I think I know what company you are talking about, as I have the same contract. I also questioned it when I was offered the position, and the response was, As far as the statement for payment providing receipt from client, this has NEVER been an issue and I do not expect it will ever be – which is, in fact, the reason for the waiting period before the first check, because they pay on a monthly basis. I have been with this company since November 2007 and there HAS NEVER been this problem. Direct deposit is available, I think it's after trial period. This company has been GREAT to work for and is growing rapidly. There is plenty of work and you're right, it is the perfect job. No set hours, 500 line requirement, and a great owner. You would be missing out if you turned it down.
No worries
Well, the recuiter knows the difference between the referrals I do know and the ones I do not. She has an extensive process to determine who is qualified and this is her job that I leave up to her. I understand completely your thinking, but no worries, I have covered my basis on this. I am a smart businesswoman :)
Gee, that worries me. (sm)
Can you give me an example of how that would occur?
No worries!
Business is slow throughout the MT industry as a whole. Hang in there as this will change! Work typically gets slower during the summer months anyways.
What worries me
is that you already sold off a portion of your business. How much longer before you ''sell off'' again? Also, did you knowingly sell to Indians? That is somewhat distressing.
Just curious.
Those remarks don't bother me..coming
to work at OSi.
come on now...you know what was meant by racist remarks--sm
let's not get carried away here. save your *giggle* comments for the comedy board. talk about overkill! jees.
It nice to see some positive remarks about MQ, sm
I am starting tomorrow and am looking forward to it. 
Your disparaging remarks, oh if only you knew
Does the remark about lack of education make you feel more important? My husband and I own a business (not transcription) and it serves our needs very well. I am retired over 3 years now, just work parttime so as not to get rusty because I really enjoy transcription- it is not something I have to do now to make a living. Our business taxes and mine are separate. I no longer pay social security and I make an excellent bottom line pay in trancription because I am fast after all the years I have done this. I sponsor several animal rescue places where most of my earned money goes to. I would not feel bad about my lack of education. I have done ok in my life and have reached a time when life is just a bowl of cherries.
contract worries
they have a contract that has the wording saying they can deduct money from your pay for work that needs to be edited. I didn't like that so I didn't sign.
No worries, by the end of the week, there will
the smart MT's will be leaving by then. It will not take long to note that SS is ripping their lines off.
No worries, be happy.
Don't beat yourself up over it. It is okay, I promise.
Then I have no worries because the hospital
where I work, and I thought they had gone to this several years ago, still has plenty of dictation.
No worries with InfraWare
MTSOs that use the InfraWare platform are already in compliance with these regulations. All data flows through a self-contained workflow system through a level 4 data center. Audit trails reflect all activity regarding each report. All PHI is wiped from the MT's computer when the job is marked complete, so they will have no need to ever search your computer. You are completely safe and protected.

VERY GOOD MTSO! DON'T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE REMARKS!
I have had an excellent experience with Nicholas Transcription since signing on with them over two months ago. She pays on a weekly basis and the pay is seldom late. When it is late, it's only one or two days off. I received my first paycheck via DD the second week (on a Friday) after I turned in my first invoice, which is not usual. In fact, most MTSOs pay on a bi-monthly basis -- she pays us weekly!!! I have gotten paid in a timely manner with the exception of only one or two times and both times, she paid me the following Monday or Tuesday and she made me aware of the fact that the DD would be a day or so late. Also, the owner was upfront and honest and made me aware that late payments do happen on occasion prior to my ever signing a contract and I was fine with that -- so long as I get paid, I'm fine with that (AND SHE DOES PAY ME WEEKLY)!
Also, the owner is extremely flexible, understanding, and extremely very easy to work for. The dictators are great and the work is very consistent.
I speak from present experience! I work for her now and will continue working for her. Don't believe the negative comments -- they are not true.
Inflammatory remarks? Lets see, stand up for your
Yep, then guilty of inflammatory remarks made in attemtp to get MTs to see they are only victims if they ALLOW themselves to become victims. I dont mind when others strike back at me, it shows they at least have the backbone to do that. Now if that would channel that backbone to do something about the situation they are whining about, they might get somewhere.
The thing that worries me is the name Rose
Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree, but I would have to say that TrueScribe is new on me, and I'm thinking this Rose person has burned MTs out of money and is looking under a new name????? Just my opinion though, not a known fact on my part. I am just a paranoid person though! 
That's right. Back up your claims with facts, not with lunatic remarks.
Step up to the plate and post in more of a professional manner. Otherwise, it serves no real purpose. MTStars was not created for people to come only to post their personal smear campaign.
Hateful remarks usually arise after someone from the company in question
and people get sick of it. Sorry, but it's true. Yes, people do get very angry and probably post things they shouldn't but when you see someone on here posting 24/7 and it's obvious where they're from and what they're up to it really starts to grate on your nerves like Chinese water torture.
Information people gather from this board also includes warnings from former employees of companies about their past experiences and observations and I've used that information many times myself. It's a life-saver.
At one point, they said MQ was training convicts to transcribe ... no worries here .. lol nm

who is angry???
/
You have every right to be angry!
I totally agree with your frustration, but to let it eat you up is going to affect your sanity. You must move on. It sounds like you are a good MT that flexes and really wants to work, so why not move on? Do not take their BS any longer. You see the other posts.
I don't know if this is the same MDI-MD that Datakey MT is involved with (Baltimore office), but that lady is good for bait and switch. She spoon fed me for about a week with discharge summaries after hiring me for clinic notes. She told me this account had to be caught up first.... What a joke! 
Why so angry?
I only stated my experience with OSI. I stated my point of view. I have NOT worked for 6 nationals, so I don't have the vast experience of one who has worked for so many. So far I am happy with OSI. End of discussion.
How angry would you be if this were you? sm
I dropped a prescription off last night at CVS to be filled, pretty simple prescription. The prescription was for Eucerin and triamcinolone mixed for eczema. Today I send my hubby to pick the prescription up, mind you he had no idea of what the prescription was for. When he gets home I open the bag to find a jar of Eucerin cream with the prescription label attached, seal on top of jar not even removed. I called CVS about this mistake and she stated just bring it back and we will mix it. I should not have to drive 15 minutes to take it back when it should have been filled correctly in the first place. This tells me that the pharmacy tech/pharmacist, not sure which one filled it, did not read the prescription fully nor did the pharmacist whose name is attached to the prescription check it correctly.
This angers me as it was a small mistake, but still a mistake. How many people have lost their lives because of small mistakes. You have a level of care that you are supposed to provide and today the pharmacist performed his job inadequately. How many elderly that do not have a line of defense to help them have taken the wrong medicine and suffered severe consequences. I am going to CVS shortly and they will hear from me, in a professional manner, but corporate will also hear from me tomorrow.
Angry now
Everyone's upset with Lisa can be articulated in one sentence: Transcend IS SELLING AMERICA AND ITS WORKERS DOWN THE RIVER AND WE ARE MAD AS H*** ABOUT IT. My anger is not going away anytime soon.
Not angry at all!
The poster stating she is being scammed sounds angry. The ones whining and complaining about how horrible it is that they have VR and blast every company they work for are angry. Not me! I signed the same agreements, I work longer and longer hours, yet I'm not moaning and groaning, yet you call me angry? Look, if you agree to make a low line rate, do the math. We all know what we are signing up for. We know what this job is about. We know where the industry is going. Where is the scam? Again, take it or leave it, but the constant whining is annoying. I'm a work at home MT - that's it, it's not that special. I have been doing this a long time and it has been an easier job than most and I have been very lucky. Unfortunately, it is changing, oh well, doing the best I can, hope it lasts a little while longer, but if not, I'll be moving on to the next chapter. The end!
What an angry person you are.
 Chill out man.
I agree. It's sad what one or two mean or angry
more sad that everyone just believes that every post is by a different person and is 100% correct and truthful.
Sad for everyone.
That is horrible that she would be angry with you...
not your fault her quality was not what they required...hopefully she is not mad at you anymore and has moved on to a company that is the right fit for her...
Why such an angry post. Someone
was just making comments from their point of view. Something going on there. This board I am sure is for all comments, but seems like sometimes sore spots get pushed, or buttons. Why is anything an employee problem anyway? There is no employee problem. If the employee does not like the way they are treated they can leave. Just like if people don't like the comments on this board they don't have to read it. I sure hope the above poster does not hold a position with Axo...just IMHO.
What is up with all the angry, bitter MTs?????
Do you think we do this job as a hobby? Do you expect us to change our budget without any notice without major difficulty because work distribution isn't a high priorty to MTSOs?
Why so angry that some have husbands
who pay the bills? My gosh woman, get thee to some therapy! In the old days (not so many years ago) the men went to work and paid the bills. What is it about that that upsets you? You are woman, hear you roar....you work your fingers to the bone, can't pay the bills, feel unappreciated, but still continue to do this job. Why stay with it if it isn't fulfilling you?
And some on this board wonder why the MTs are angry!!
I just don't get why people do not have common sense, how would they feel having this done to THEM. I believe there is a law (I heard of it on TV or read it on google.com -- a law article companys need to give notice in this type of situation,. They DID know in plenty of time to help MTs prepare their lives. Makes me pissed at people.
You're angry? Really?
Wow! It doesn't take much to anger a 14 year old though... You're an adult MT? this stuff makes you angry? that's wild! 
I have to stick up for angry.
I am happy but I get unhappy when someone tries to push something off that is simply not true. She started her post with an untruth by saying she was in the trenches when it was pointed out in several posts that she is a team lead which is far from the trenches if you read the position open ads from Transcend - it is a lower management position that is used as a stepping stool.
She does not even give the same information about outsourcing that is given by the higher levels of management.
And her worry about offshoring or outsourcing or whatever word you want to use for sending our work to foreigners so they can take our jobs away is a croc - since the company was with before had a school in offshore.
If these positive thinkers would just post the truth it would be a lot better. When you start reading management posts that are not true, you wonder how much more is being hidden that you will uncover the longer you work for them.
You cannot say that any company is without problems. All you can say is how much effort is being made to correct what is wrong and let people make up their minds from that.
I know you are hurt and angry but there is
They can adjust their pay scales any way they want as long as minimum wage is met for your state (if you are an employee). It is not illegal.
It PROBABLY will be illegal for you to contact clients as I am sure there is language somewhere in policy, etc., that states you are not to do so.
Be careful with your anger. It could get you in trouble.
Remember: Webmedx is not the first company to do this and the MT industry is not the first field to have this happen, either.
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.
There are a lot of angry people on this board, but some of us here
are professionals and it is very difficult to read boards with the amount of unprofessionalism we see on these boards. I think we can expect it from some MTs in our field but when the companies come and act totally unprofessional I believe that is where we should take it that that company will be no different if you work for them.
Checked to see who the person was who was so angry...and....
She worked at Shapin for 2 days and was unable to complete her work with any quality at all. Her scores were in the low 80's. So YES she was MOST DEFINITELY let go and YES she is MOST DEFINITELY angry about that. Sorry S. Please retake a Medical Transcription course before moving on. All employers would appreciate that!
No, they have not. (insert angry face here)
I talked with a few other MTs and nada. In my mind, this is just a really mean thing to do and there's absolutely no reason for it other than to be plain mean. The lady who was in charge of this stuff before had them out by January 3rd.
No end-of-year bonus either or even just a nice card....something that was always appreciated. Team that up with constant lack of work, a noose that gets tighter and tighter as far as big brother watching, and you have a company that has gone waaaay downhill as far as respect for it's employees goes.
