Stop being so rude to other posters

I've noticed lately that almost every time someone asks a question about a company on here, some rude person keeps posting Why don't you read the archives? or Search the archives? You know who you are, and please stop it!  Before you get upset, I'm not trying to be hateful.  I just want to make a point, and I believe I speak for many others who have noticed this as well. Consider these two points before doing this again...   



  1. The poster may be new to the site, and they haven't figured out the search options yet. We all have to take time to figure out new sites we haven't been on before.  Rudeness will prevent them from wanting to come back and will give this site a bad reputation. 

  2. Most posters have already read the archives, and they are looking for current information.  I saw this the other day...   The poster plainly stated they were looking for current information.  She even went so far as to ask you NOT to tell her to search the archives, as she already had.  You STILL posted a reply telling them to look through the archives.  Why?

I could understand seeing this once in a while, but you're doing this every other day.  Please, don't do this anymore.  Let's be kind and considerate to other posters on here.  After all, we're all in this together.  We're here to try to help each other along, not to try to make others feel stupid. 


Thank you!


Star Stop works better than express scribe. If you want start Stop, yea it is kind of sm
expensive. I wish they did pay their QA hourly as I think they would see better quality work, but they per line and it is higher than the other person posted.

I have never had a problem with management, so I am unfamiliar with what the other person experienced with management.

Pay is always on time (most of the time early). I like the software. I guess you just have to see if it fits for you.
Stop taking these insulting wages and they will stop offering them.

I think we are all over-sensitive :) nm

Please don't tell me how sensitive to be after you
supposed to be able to handle their tongue. That's why you get the big bucks as you said, right?
I don't think I'm being sensitive at

My only crime apparently was in asking why are the blanks still blank and why did you add this or that when I know it was not dictated.  I've been doing this for over 15 years and I've just never run across this QA method. 


Too sensitive?
I think the previous poster was just trying to point out you could find it yourself...
The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
the log in is case sensitive - sm

You might try changing the way you log in.  I believe it should be ALL caps.  That could be the problem with logging in.  Can't help with the rest, don't know why they wouldn't be returning calls.


 


 


Oh Puhleeze........ sm
Sure you can post your name. Your posts don't get deleted. But let anyone express one negative word about your company, and POOF... like magic, it's gone. Better HR??? A friend of mine just two weeks ago went through the same six weeks of waiting for equipment, unreturned phone calls, etc., etc. The only thing that has changed is that no one is allowed to complain.
Puhleeze...
I don't need it to meet anything, have been meeting it for going on 2 years now, what then??? We are all on mandatory OT because of the abundance of work we have...unlike MOST companies, where the MTs have to fight over what little work is available...
Puhleeze
I make plenty of lines, thank you for your concern. How about you mind your own business?
Oh puhleeze
I agreed with your post 100% right up until you said ASR is not being thrust upon us.  Are you kidding, the rate is HALF that of straight typing and SOME of us can type pretty dang fast.  I for one NEVER want to do ASR, don't care how many people love it.  I know I will never make the money I do now typing the actual report, AND to see my main account diminish by greater than 75% is not encouraging.  I hang in there each and every day. I have absolutely no problem with the company, just the way ASR has taken over all my work. 
Puhleeze
I wouldn't be able to contain myself waiting by the mailbox for that!  I hate cooking.  And you have to print the dang thing yourself?  CHEAP. 
Puhleeze
do you know this poster personally? Didn't think so. Crawl back in your hole right away...pretty sad you are counting his/her grammar mistakes instead of getting the real message.
As I said, I didn't know. I had no idea it was such a sensitive area. I said I'm sorry. sm

My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
puhleeze give US a break..

with your relentless rah-rahing!  Sweety pie, work has been low at TT for months and months...not just now.  Yes, you certainly are newer TT because you as an overhire are taking the work away from those of us who have been in there for the long haul!  Secondly, it has always been my experience that doctors work wayyyyy over 40 hours a week, and someone else mentioned that this low/no work is due to the holiday...what the heck???  July 4 was LAST weekend, with it probably being observed in the work force on FRIDAY...so that is hogwash, absolute hogwash.  When MTs who have been with this company for years say there is low/no work and it is a problem, THEY MEAN IT IS A PROBLEM, not just due to a holiday or low volume period...


I will agree with you on one thing, and that is things are not greener anywhere else right now, so that is probably why we are hanging on with our fingernails where we are at you dumb A.  MT is slowly going down the toilet...but with many of us in all stages of life, choices may be limited as to profession change, and especially with the economy the way it it, so DO NOT be so quick to judge!!!    And don't bother spewing your venom on me, I won't answer. 


Women in bathrobes unite! Puhleeze...

Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
Rude answer to a rude post. nm

3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm

the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee.  Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great.  VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform.  They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

Rude, rude posters
Hope you rude posters find a good fit for you.  Don't run down OSi because some of us like them.  No problems either and I have 10 years experience.  No newbies here like you say.  Love the accounts I'm on.  Hope the complainers find a good home, but if not, they will be back and on another company's case. 
It is so rude to call QA rude because YOU have
been stuck on QA hold for six months!! And the other poster above - if you are getting QA notes and they are including your supervisor, which you imply is not the norm, then YOU are the one responsible. It matters not if you've been an MT for 1 week or 30 years - if your skills are not up to par, they are not up to par. Many MTs get cleared from QA hold within hours or days at most - companies do NOT want to hold you up from producing, nor do they love to waste their $ on MTs on QA hold. You really need a reality check. And no, I am not rude! It is always, always the MTs lacking in skills who get pissed at QA - no form of feedback is acceptable to that type - even sealed with a kiss and a big bow!
Rude! Recruiter was very rude to me.
She had an attitude right off the bat.
Stop using my name.
pls get your own. Little it wasnt me.
Huh? Not sure what you mean when you say used to stop
nm
lol stop it man

They won't stop either. sm
I've been gone longer and they still cc me on things.  No calls though.  I'd go ballistic.
You may want to stop looking at those.
Bought by Nuance, run differently now, etc., etc., may want to stop looking at the archives if it's a different co. now.
Please stop!
I thought this board was a place to come and complain - a lot of people don't have the luxury of having people around them that understand what they are complaining about, especially when you work at home. You're there all day, typing away, and even if it's a job you love, you don't have any coworkers around to talk to. Even in an out of the home job, you're gonna complain about something - your boss, the lousy hours, the lousy pay,etc., only there, you have people in the same boat to talk to. Yes, we all keep getting up and doing our jobs every day - some of us may love our jobs and some of us may be looking for something else, but any doctor will tell you that it's good to blow off steam every once in a while - why not with people who understand your situation? Yes, life is short - too short to keep things that are bothering us bottled up! This board is definitely cheaper than Prozac!!!=)
Please. Stop. Now.

Really, before you seem like you are totally unhinged.  You are an example of why no MT would/should want to work at SS. 


Now, put down the mouse and back away from the keyboard.  You are frightening us.  Seriously.   


I never stop looking even with a job.
Just tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. It took one day to do that.

Anon's reply to my post made me realize this is not uncommon behavior and I have since moved on.

Thanks for advice.:)

You are 100% right on this, and only WE can stop it...
how?!, you say?? I'm looking for a little overflow/weekend work and before I will even test with a company I ask what the compensation rate is. If it's too low, I tell them I would not consider it for less than ___ cents a line. If we keep on taking the work for crappy hours and crappy pay, they'll keep letting us. If we stand up to them in the beginning, and NO ONE will take their slave wages, they'll eventually see they have to offer more to get quality, experienced MTs like I'm sure you all are.

STAND UP TO THEM! Take charge! Let them know that we're not working for 1990s wages anymore, it's 2009 now. I had a company offer me 6 cpl...LOL! I made that as a newby 16 years ago! The cost of living has skyrocketed since those days, yet are we being compensated for it? NO!

It's time for the revolution to start...and while you may think you do not have the power of 1 to do anything about it, you truly do. Tell them, that is NOT enough money.

It might not happen right away, as they have already bid low to get the clients' work. But enough companies out there do not want their work sent overseas...and when they get poor work back they'll see. To hire quality MTs you have to bid higher OR make less $$ on your MTs and pay them a cent more or two. What have we got to lose in trying?
This has got to stop

Companies using other companies has got to STOP!   They are taking from our pay to supply an employee.  What is happening to this industry?  These people shouldn't call themselves a Transcription Company, but instead an Employment Agency taking our pay.  Totally ridiculous!!!   Just say NO NO NO!!  If you work for the company they are hiring for, you get $15 an hour, but as a QA for TTD you get 0.03 cpl for the same accounts, same hours and same job?  Not right, not fair, NO WAY!


Please just stop your arguing, there is no need for it.
s
Stop saying that just because someone doesn't
share your opinion they must not get the reports you do, must not get the dicators you do, must not be an MT, must not...must not...must not.

Some have a different aptitude for this work. Others have a different OUTLOOK on the work and on life.

You're not the only MT there. You're not the only one with your outlook. Just because someone works at MQ, however, does NOT mean that they MUST feel like you, get the same work you do, etc. I get difficult dictators and reports a LOT but I don't complain about it. It's part of the job.

I really hope you can find something you are comfortable and satisfied with. I wish you all the luck. Please work ardently at doing so.

I also read that they will stop
paying for internet connection and thinkn this means January 2006.
You need to stop the trashing if you don't know.

I know for a fact that SS now pays for spaces. 


I have worked there for over 1-1/2 years and the most a paycheck has ever been late was by 2 days, which is 7 days after pay period ends.  I know other nationals that ALWAYS pay 7-10 days after pay period ends.


The "nasty" emails you refer to make me wonder if you are one of those people who cry at work.  The emails are aimed people not working their schedule.  If that doesn't pertain to you then you ignore the emails. 


cant stop laughing

Uh....before you stop visiting here
you might want to check out the post further down the page. Doesn't sound like sour grapes to me, more like you did that one wrong.

Maybe the reason you have caught a lot of grief on this board is because you apparently know how to dish it out but you can't take it. What goes around, comes around. I hate to tell you this but you come off sounding rather bitter yourself.

I'm just wondering why you people from Keystrokes feel the need to defend yourselves so much. There must be some truth to what is posted here about you. They can't all be transcriptionists who can't cut it or don't fit. Maybe the bad fit lies within your organization. How did all those bitter people get hired in the first place?

There is an awful lot of pettiness and ugliness in those who post from your company, dear. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't cast the first stone.

I do wish you the best and I hope those growing pains that you seem to have had for so long feel better soon.
Yes, they do! STOP TRYING TO GET BIZ SVCS FOR
There! I've addressed it!

The problem is all of you people who want to use residential services for business use! Pay up or shut up!

And, it just doesn't stop. Normally it is a
for your accounts even in the evenings and weekends.  If an MT doesn't work or your account goes out of TAT, it is your fault and you must take the blame.  So, for 32K, definitely is not worth the hours you have to put in.  I used to be a manager too and worked at least 10 hours a day, sometimes 12.  I always felt the need to go to my office to make sure that everything on my accounts was ok.  Once I stepped down, I realized just how much it was affecting my life.  You need to decide for yourself if you want all the responsibility of TAT on several different accounts, even when you are not scheduled to work.  Think of your family, your hobbies, your life outside of your office, and realize you will need to give all these things up.  Definitely not worth it, IMHO, speaking from experience, of course.  Good luck with your decision.
Stop the lying
We're on to it.
Time to stop
I have bills to pay and wish the companies could get our money to us just like we are there to type their reports.

Junie, why are you still there to type their reports? You are working for free and they are stealing. This is an ethical, as well as legal issue. This is no different than you walking in Bloomingdales, taking a coat, and saying I'll pay you when I get around to it. That's stealing and so is not paying you for a service you provided. Stop typing and start looking elsewhere as this is proof of their integrity. Can't you see the writing on the wall?
It probably won't make them stop, but may..
give you some satisfaction. When you pick up the phone (if you have caller ID) just mash one of the buttons so it makes a really loud noise right in their ear!
RUN. Do not stop or look back.
Not a good place.
I think we did stop a few, but on the whole, they are jumping at it!
:(
Stop Insurance
Write the company as soon as possible. I have been here (MDI/Transcend) for over 5 years and cannot imagine them stopping it for 1 time...especially since you were ill. But write then HR person today so they can check into it. Please update your post! Because they surely would not do this...but if they need, your coworkers need to know. LOts of changes in the company right now and I hope that is not one of them!
