I use anonymous email. If I use a moniker it isn't my real name.
It's been like this on this website for a loooong time now! I've been posting anonymously for ages, so I don't know where you get the fact that you can't post anonymously anymore. The email I use is for this website only and doesn't even include my real name.
It's as anonymous as it gets without having a bunch of spam posts invade the boards.
I've liked it for a long time now and still like it. If you don't ... then, well, you know...
I receive an anonymous email from someone that had a friend go to work for them and it was bad news.
Glad I passed it up. It sounded awful, no communication and no work etc..
To the person who sent me the anonymous, rude email. FYI: I AM an MT and I post answers here to di
a true response is given, not supposition and rumor. I do not know why you find it take and ignorant (your words) that I answered that Keystrokes does not and will not send work overseas, but as an MT, that was very important for me to know and part of the decision I made to go to Keystrokes in the first place.
I will not be intimidated by anonymous emails and certainly will continue to post answers with facts when asked.
This board is for everyone in transcription, not just those who think they can control the threads, and I for one like to hear from others in the industry with different viewpoints.
It should not reflect poorly on KS as you said; quite the opposite, I will only post facts and as offshore is an important topic. If your opinion is different than mine, that is your choice, but to send a rude email anonymously with a threatening tone was obviously meant to intimidate me.
Good company, pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, nice coworkers and management has
always been very nice to me. Incentive for MT over production goals.
Why not? Those coworkers had the

Are you the example of coworkers we can look
Thanks for the warm welcome. Hope you're not the norm at Transcend.
They are not actively hiring right now. One of my ex-coworkers had me ask sm
and I was told that they are not hiring right now but will be in a few weeks for some new accounts. They want to make sure that everyone has an account that they are happy with before taking on additional transcriptionists. Yet another reason I love working for Keystrokes: I am appreciated and not treated as a number.
Your concern need not be coworkers. Work is not

Please email me which company does this
This thread is very interesting. I can see having a credit check pulled if the company is going to supply you with all the equipment, but for an IC position? Something smells.
I'm about to graduate from Andrews in the very near future, and I would appreciate an email letting me know which company(ies) is/are doing this. I think it's absolutely outrageous.
I can stand up to an intensive FBI background check, and I recently had one done to renew my state security license, so I have no problem with that aspect.
Please let me know *which* company is doing this. I won't waste their time or mine.
Please email w/ name of EXText company
Thank you, tired of being out of work when I know #$%^ well that my account has work going to India!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to know which company. You may email me if you wish. sm
Email above. Thanks. 
Actually, I sent you an email through your ad on the company board. Thanks! nm
I left a company as soon as got email saying they were

Email said not about company stability, and you
Of course they sent encouraging apologetic email. Do you think they would send one saying, We are having dire company problems and you may never get this money? They can put ANYTHING in an email. That doesnt mean it is true.
To anonymous. SM
I totally agree with your post. You would think a forum such as this would be full of comradery, support, and help. And, sometimes, it is.
Unfortunately, mostly it seems to be MTs (and MT business owners posing as working MTs) bashing each other. It's almost as if you become afraid to post an opinion for fear of being jumped on for having that opinion.
But, hang in here if you will and post what you want. Help when you can. Take what decent advice you can get. And, just let the b.s. roll off your back.
I AM ANONYMOUS TOO
LOL LOL LOL
You are anonymous here, so sure!

I am not anonymous
From what I understand there was insurance but too high, they are working very hard on getting a plan a lot more reasonable, I am sure if that is a big issue someone could wait until it is in place, but I would work for Keystrokes if they didn't provide insurance.
I am still not anonymous
We have all become so cynical,I am myself, and have really lost a trusting part of me that I miss because of this profession. Keystrokes has been honest and that is something so many of us are not used to anymore. I don't think that is going to change, at least I hope not. Keystrokes is not a fit for everyone, but if you want honesty, a fair shake, then what I am posting is the truth, I am not a lead, not a manager, haven't met the top people but the owner is hands on and that means a lot. I personally emailed Lee when I wanted to come back after leaving for 2 years and she took me back with open arms, and for that I am greatful.

Finally, I knew this could not just be happening to me,and I know that there are even more out there that this is happening to. Monday count off by 58 lines, Tuesday their count and my count the same, Wednesday count off by 44, Thursday count off by 69 lines, and today the counts are the same; but nothing changed on either end as far as how the counters were set up. Come on now, you don't have to be an accountant to see it does not add up.

I doubt the other poster is your honey (whatever happened to treating colleagues like fellow professionals); you might gain a lot from taking a basic business course. Many of the women's business organizations offer them and that might help you find a practical answer that you could use in your situation. Asking what the top line rate is is like asking what X equals in a huge algebra equation with too many variables. We'd like to help you, but there are just too many variables here.

Cuz?--As a former MTSO, I would not hire anyone who cannot use the tool of our trade (English) correctly. No, I am not being the grammar police. I think it is relevant because the issue seems to be professionalism--on many levels. Please keep in mind that all kinds of people read these boards--recruiters, hiring managers, etc. It seems that people either have professionalism or they don't......

The best thing I ever did when I was starting out was to take a workshop in basic business for women. Although this class was in California, I am sure that various women's business organizations offer them other places. They will teach you how to price things, how to do P and L statements, how to write a business plan and a proposal, etc. Truly, it was kind of fun and it might help you get started. Not trying to be the police here, just trying to give you a hand up.

It does not matter how many times you say it and it does not matter whether the client allows it or not. What matters is that the company actually DOES it and it deprives an American worker of work. Get it?
Anonymous
No, that is incorrect. The merger went into effect 1 September, 2009. The MDI-MT's will have things as they are until 1 January, 2010 when heaven knows what will happen. Just guessing, but I am putting my bet on a reduced cpl for all MDI-MTs and forced use of VR. I could be right, I could be wrong, but that is how I would call it. Just saying.....
Did you email the company about this? They may have no idea and appreciate knowing what is going on.

No problems for me. In fact, the company sent out an email sm
yesterday asking if anyone wanted a backup account, so I took them up on it. I know how scary slow days can be -- hope it ends for you soon. If you do not have a backup account, maybe you should call and ask for one.
Good luck!
I don't believe I trashed the company, and I had not received the email yet. sm
And yes, she is cheery and full of hope and promise, but that doesn't pay the bills now. I appreciate your compassion.
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
Anonymous report to IRS (sm)
I just posted a reply to an IC who is tired of being burned.
I want to add - and not to out of spite to fellow MTSOs - if you want to stop the trend of requiring ICs to follow set/ employee schedules, you can make an anonymous report to the IRS. No company, and no one wants an IRS inquiry/audit.
That said, I strongly suggest that, so as not to arouse suspicion that you are the anonymous reporter, you not complain about your hours/set time while you make this IRS report. You want to rectify the situation, but you do not want compromise your earnings.
It's anonymous board.
posters here use monikers/handles to protect their real identity.
No way to search by name!
See my name above :))
I'm not hiding behind an anonymous name. I am me and have
used this moniker for years, though others are posting with the same moniker.
Nope, its anonymous.

I hope it all works out for you. Rather than looking it as being jerked around, you might take it instead in the positive viewpoint of being given a heads up. Good luck to you!
In case this company doesn't see this post, email them and tell them
y
Email me privately. I think we work for the same company and I have an answer for you.
I went through all of this about 6 months ago and if it's the same company I'll give you the lowdown.
No sweetie, you were coming to branching, thank your company by their email.

Yep. And those praising are also anonymous. I like to hear the
full range. Usually the truth for the majority falls somewhere in between the two extremes.
Anonymous; that's the problem here, people
can say anything they want and not be held accountable; in particular, on the Word Board. Posting anonymously takes away from the reliability of the poster. I don't know who to believe the majority of the time!
Are you going to trust the anonymous post of someone you
You don't know the poster, his/her ideals or goals, whether they are credible or not.
Seems like blind faith that could cost you in the long run.
Your anonymous and just showing one of the reasons
that SS is a horrible place to work.
Ethics? On an anonymous forum? (sm)
It's too much to hope for wanting people to be ethical on an anonymous forum. Just take everything you read with a grain of salt and post what you know to be the truth whenever you see flagrant bull being posted by unscrupulous people. Unfortunately, that's about all you can do. People do unethical stuff all the time in business. Sad but true.
So you can believe an anonymous person who is friends with the owner
when they say it isn't so, but you believe an anonymous poster who says they are losing the account? If you have concerns call the company. You've come here many times in the past and griped about this company. You have the right to do so, but you're still with the company. Could it be that they are one of the best companies out there, not perfect, but better than most?
Name calling on an anonymous board? How cliche.
^^I^^
soooo, you are posting anonymous posts to your own
posts now??? How childish. Besides that, I did not see any copyright mark on the eye rolling thing, and I was not responding to YOU, but to someone else. I thought you were *bored* and had moved on. Apparently not because you always have to have the last word about anything. I guess that makes you feel that your are always right, as well as a people abuser. LOL.
not anonymous - I do work for Keystrokes, I thought I made that clear
I do work for them, it is hard not to trust anymore but yes, I do work for Keystrokes, I thought I made that clear. The other poster seemed cynical. I understand that. I love working for Keystrokes. it is an honest company. After all the other companies I have been with it is refreshing!
I can't tell you how often I've considered sending anonymous letters to hospitals/docs! nm

small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
