Happy. Come on. People run for the hills if they have a brain from this company. No benefits. Take spaces and do not tell you, so they can make payroll probably since pays have finally been on time for a change. You are absolutely incorrect. Do not lie on this board. It is unfair to MTs who need a good job.

Must not be too obvious..
Listen, so you have had a great time at KS. I am happy for you. I am not saying that you are not telling the truth. However, you are telling me that everything I say is not true. How can you know this? And because you have a good experience with KS, you are assuming that I must just be some loser MT who cannot hold a job. I must be lying because you have never had any problems with KS. How can you know this?
In reality, I am a very good MT. I am a great employee. I have been and always will be. I don't take off work, I work OT most days. I do 20,000 lines per pay period and have a 99 percent accuracy score at my company. I am also NOT a liar.
The bad goes with the good. If someone asks a question about KS with regards to their business practices, they want an overall idea of how it really is. So, the truth has to be told. That is WHY they are asking. Also, there are many MTs who are of the same opinion of KS and there is a reason behind that. It would be because we have all had the same issues there. Are some people happy there?? Sure. No one says they don't have happy MTs. But my experience, and that of other MTs, cannot be overlooked on the assumption that we are all just bad MTs.
oh yes they do and it's obvious
I can tell who posts here a lot of times.
Your too obvious M.S. try something else!
IT'S OBVIOUS THAT....SM
After all the overhiring, it's obvious that they're slowly but surely trying to phase out straight-typing MTs.
This is so obvious.......LOL
Obviously you work as a recruiter or management.
Seems obvious to me
If you can take the chance the new job won't work out, I would not trust the current job to be straight, or fair, in the future.
That said, you should at least *ask* your supervisor point blank did he/she know it was a software issue? Did QA?
If NO one (outside upper management) knew, then you have to consider this, so you need to ask.
Isn't it obvious?
I would think it's all just a convoluted ploy to: A) Pat themselves on the back for their spectacular prank; B) Avoid paying unemployment benefits. If they cut your pay that much, you can potentially receive UI benefits. If they fire you without cause (based on your report of prior good employee status), you can receive UI benefits. But if you quit, you get nadda/zip/zilch. They get a good laugh at screwing you out of your benefits and it doesn't cost them a dime.
It is obvious that you were not there in 2002 - because you would know
who I am, but it is apparent that you do not. So I suggest, that unless you want a face to face confrontation with a legal representative, you need to back off. Thank you.
It's pretty obvious this is
if so, they should spend this much time and energy fixing the problems with the company...
LOL That's what I was thinking. WAY too obvious!
LOL!
The "sticky" is just that. Really. I know the obvious.
research that I had done on these forums, keeping logs of specifics I was looking for in companies. An awful lot of MTs do this exact thing, working off of just a few sites. That is how important our careers are to us. We are not naive enough to read 1 thread of someone singing praises. Basically, its the MQ MTs. Lots of us knew years ago where things were headed, yet we were professionals who had no need to panic at that point, but rather did our research and accepted positions at companies based on intelligent decisions based on long-term gathered data. However, if the data gathered over a year or an hour is garbage, then so much for the informed decision. Its like an informed consent for an operation - we made our decisions based on what was presented to us by MTSOs as well as employees. However, some of the MTSOs lied and, as we found later, pose as the MTs themselves on internet forums to further their lies. Of course we all see the sticky note, and of course we all try to be wise and cautious, yet you have to trust somewhere. Otherwise, we'd all be paralyzed with indecision. I hate to base my life choices on lies. Don't you?
This might be stating the obvious but...
Make sure you make the corrections and save the revised document!
I updated my resume and saved it, but when I went to send it out realized I had not updated my email address. I updated it on the resume I was sending out at that particular moment, but forgot to change it and save it in Word. After I had to correct it 3-4 times as I went to send it, I FINALLY remembered to go into the actual document, make the change and save it.
Sometimes I really wonder how I function in day to day life, I'm such a scatterbrain, lol!!!
yep. quite obvious..but yu who childish..not her.nm
nm
Sooo obvious..
It's so obvious that these last few replies were by the company/employees themselves in efforts to dismiss what is going on. MTs don't snooze on this one! Troll.. that is funny
Yes Ms Obvious, and I have secondaries
Not everyone types every specialty you know.
But surely, I have sat on my rear for the last month and it has never occurred to me to get another backup account (I already have 4!)! Maybe if I do a raindance, or one of my equally miserable teammates quit, the gods will provide me with enough work.
Oh, please, tell me to flex - that hasn't occurred to me either! DUH! You think I'm a tard, I see.
An obvious troll
put this clown who laughs at other's misery on *ignore.* Let LMAO entertain/babysit him/herself.
It's very obvious to me who it is--all the secrecy and attitude....nm
nm
It's obvious I don't base my choices
by this board; however, the negative things that have been stated have been true. Guess I should have taken the hint the first 3 times in regards to getting the hiring process completed. Since they could not follow through with that, don't know what made me think they could follow through with anything else!
Pretty obvious there is only one rah-rah person for OSi and (sm)
she is doing that company some major harm. I think it is possible that she is on everyone's last friggin nerve!
I work for a great company, but if I would be put in a position where I would need to find employment elsewhere, OSi would be one of the companies that I would stay clear of. There must be some crazy stuff going on there.
It is so obvious you are the same poster each time.

I looked in the most obvious place
I looked in the job seeker's board on this site. However, for the life of me, I don't remember seeing the job I ended up accepting there, and I can't remember exactly where I did see it. Very weird. But I just read all the paperwork for it, and I'm liking what I see still!
Hi heather. It is painfully obvious it is you posting
You are just so rude!!
Agree the post(s) are quite obvious. This is not how we write here. SM
This is a fine example of my question: How are editors not having to make major changes to reports coming back from overseas? No matter what anyone is saying, there has to be some major editing. Possibly not so much in regard to medical terminology, but just misuse of proper grammar. This has to be creating a lot of work if you have to edit almost every sentence in a report. But I guess, if the overseas MTs have a doctor dictating who knows our language properly, they get to type verbatim. Just curious how overseas MTs do when they transcribe for an ESL doc from a different country here in the U.S. who is not so efficient at dictating. It has to be a mess.
So obvious "Not KS". Why would another MTSO post
in a thread about another MTSO? So full of BS. We're not stupid; just underpaid.
You'd play lousy poker - obvious bluffer.
Don't have to have the last word to have the last laugh, and I'm having a good one.
Such an easy mark. . . such a short fuse. WOO! I am laughing out loud.
Obvious lack of reading comprehension (no surprise there)
I am not management. I do VR; the term 'these people' refers to those who refuse to even CONSIDER doing VR and would rather jump ship than learn.
Honestly, I wish EVERY account at TT would go to VR to weed out all of those who can't comprehend a simple post. I'm not surprised so many of resist doing VR; the lack of reading comprehension which is vital to VR is obviously missing in many of you.
Sheesh, now I know what my dad meant when he'd refer to someone being 'stubborn as a mule' or 'head as thick as a rock', lol!
Other than the obvious MQ and Spheris, what companies round out the top 10 in terms of size? sm
Which offshore out of those? I want to go with a big company for a few reasons, but I do not want MQ or Spheris. I'm also just curious. It seems like they are very big and the rest are much smaller. Am I right or just assuming? Which company or companies do you think are growing and will catch them or close? Are there any out there that have that potential? I would love to get in for chance for advancement but not ground level because I want stability. Easy to know what I want, hard to articulate it clearly. I have read previous posts, tried to research other sources and want to put together a good list for myself.
Hello Management
Give me a break! You are a supervisor, and I know who you are. Spare us this bologna.
SB
If only more management could be like you!
I'd buy you a drink as well! Thank you for the kind words.
Management again??!!!
kidding. "Excellent program", is that why everyone is leaving OSi, because it is so good??!!!
Management...don't you have anything to do?
If TT is growing by leaps and bounds, how do you have the time to get on here and contradict the truth? You don't like negatives about your company, but you're not perfect either.
I am not management -- I don't even
work for them anymore! You can state your opinion, but you are giving inaccurate information about things such as benefits and whether or not you can use ShortHand. Obviously I wasn't all that thrilled with them either or I would still be there.
lol, I have been an MT for 20+ yrs and many of them in management.

I don't know when the management...SM
was ever great, it was bad 4 years ago when I was there and from your description things haven't changed a bit since then. A bunch of office people with titles, the MTs typing all the work are ignored, avoided and treated badly. We used to call the office in Pittsburgh a kingdom because it was filled with people who never worked past 4:00 in the afternoon, 2:00 on Fridays...never to be heard from until Monday around 9:00 AM.
Not management
I never said I agreed with them docking your pay for errors. BUT, I did say that they only do it if you fall below 98%. Isn't this the norm? Keeping an accuracy rate of 98% or better? So why would you worry about being docked if you maintain 98% or better? They are like any other MT companies, they want quality reports.
Not Management
potatoMT RIGHT ON
NOT management and sorry you could not cut it. nm

Definitely has to be management ..SS
AMEN !!!
I am definitely NOT their management.......
or anyone else's for that matter. I am just a lowly pee-on MT with 6 years experience trying to make an honest living, and get nothing but lies from this company. I am looking for other work, just like the others who have emailed me privately, who also work for them now and are in the same predicament that I am in. Work flow lying is the main problem with this company. They say there is none, but, in fact, there is. They just turn you off. When there is work, why not give it to us??? This question has been asked by us more than once. Lots more companies out there, so we will just keep looking.
Why don't you take this up with management. (sm)
As far as bonuses being offered unnecessarily on weekends, I think they like to be caught up as best they can on Mon morning, unlike a lot of services who get behind on the weekends. I don't think it really has anything to do wtih overstaffing. JMO. I thought there is extra pay for Sat or Sunday anyway, isn't there?
Must be management. They are NOT one of the
best companies, the absolute worst one I have ever had contact with and if you look through the archives there are many, many more who agree with me.
I am not management.
I am a very hard-working, high-producing MT who has as much to lose as the next MT. I, however, am choosing to keep an open mind and know that my work speaks for itself and decided that this new opportunity for me sounds like a good one. More work, job opportunities, and help in becoming an even better producer sounds good to me; guess not to every MT though.
I'm not Management... (sm)
What, you think I'm a *plant* because I'm seeing it half-full instead of half-empty? LOL If you'll go back and read a couple of my earlier posts regarding this whole thing, you'll notice that I worked for MQ (until they were bought out by furrinners) and I've been around for 16 years as an MT - IC, SE, employee -- but never as Management.
All I'm doing is repeating (again) what was explained to the DRC employees in the web conference and what has already been posted here to be read by anyone: If the client requires USA-based MTs, that's the DRC side. Yes, they'll charge more for the USA-based MTs (who will be paid more than the Indian MTs) and it would therefore be in Acusis' best interest to have as many USA-requiring clients as possible. Yes?
(Unless, of course, you're going along with the suspicion that the Indian MTs will be passed off as USA MTs and the clients won't know the difference.) (And man's first steps on the moon were filmed on a Hollywood sound stage made to look like green cheese...)
NOT MANAGEMENT
But I love working for Transcend, what is wrong with someone saying that? They are flexible and do pay very well.
Management
Okay, now I KNOW management is posting here. I am the person who left 3 times. Twice due to medical. HOWEVER, I only made 2 friends at DSG who were not management, neither one is stil at DSG. Both told me to leave a long time ago. Both were treated badly and that is why they left. I never believed them.
Besides anyone who knows that I tried to come back a 4th time would have to be management, think about it!
I took Karen's advice and moved on. I am very happy where I am at and in fact, I am very thankful that DSG did not take me back as I would have stayed there forever and worked a lot longer/harder/dumber for less money than I am making now.
I do not have bad things to say about DSG, only that I was disappointnted that I was told I could come back if openings when my mother-in-law had recoverd and that was a lie or changed minds or whatever you want to say. I would not change the way things turned out. I am very happy where I am now. So THANK YOU DSG! They were good to me 3 times and 3 times I was charmed. There was just not meant to be a 4th time. Again, different people different experiences. Try DSG, don't try DSG no longer makes any difference to me. I will not dog DSG, but I will not defend them either. I hope Lynda's friend moves on as I did. I think she is better off if they did this to her after she stayed with them without leaving like I did for 4 years. 
Thank you - no I am not management.
But the happy ones are always accused of being management.
I am NOT Management
I have to say that my tenure at Transtech has been the most pleasant experience I have had with any national company. They do actually care about their MT's instead of just caring about the best way to screw them out of something. They are in a completely different class - and I hope they stay that way.
I am writing this to give encouragement to the disheartened MT's who have been bruised, berated, and battered by unqualified, uncaring, power-tripping people in Management - I have been there, and there is hope. There are good companies out there, and you just have to find them. Most of the people I know have not been fortunate enough to have found the perfect MTSO the first time around. We have job hopped too many times and it's no fun.
I miss the camaraderie of my former jobs in offices - but I make certain to keep up with my old friends, go to the gym, take continuing ed classes, go for a jog during the day, jump in the pool if it's warm, go to luncheons at church, get a massage, etc. It can get pretty depressing sitting in front of a computer all day, then when you get hounded for something that's not your fault in the first place by Management it makes you want to scream.
Job hop if you must. About 90% of these companies truly are awful, and the other 10% don't have the need to be constantly running ads because they are able to retain the BEST MT's, and TransTech is one of them.
I see where some companies have been trashed on here - and rightly so - such that they don't even bother posting ads anymore but they are still desperately hurting for MT's because thankfully MT's are not putting up with the abuse anymore. If you see on any job board, not just this one, companies who constantly have an ad up there most of the time it will be because they suck to begin with, not because they are growing and need new staff. You MT's know the companies I am talking about.
I wish everyone the same luck I have had. Now I am left alone to work, make more money than ever before (outside of the office) because I'm not constantly being harassed by a micromanager.
I would never want to be management, IMO
I would hate having to deal with the clients directly, always having to be reachable, and not to mention trying to keep track of multiple MTs. I'm much happier just straight typing.
Management
I hate to see the bad feedback all the time about OSi. I have been here a while too. Change is inevitable, growth is inevitable, and technology is ever changing - you have good and bad within every company. The account manager position is more like a liason position - you would be the representative for the company. Please, please, please - I love this company and I know we have our problems but if you plan on applying for this job you will be our first contact with new clients, make sure you are happy with OSi so we get a positive attitude from the start! If people that work at OSi are not having a good experience it is probably stemming from their immediate supervisor - TALK TO SOMEONE HIGHER UP! or better yet talk to your supervisor! If you dont communicate how do you expect anything to change?
New management
I do know that they are under new management.
I think your management is very
xx
