Cute! Sarcastic, but cute. nm

No one was harassing the poster. I was
just simply stating a fact. Giving the company's internal facts is not necessary. All that was necessary was to apologize and say that they would get back to people in a timely fashion. They did not need to give out their statistics. I do not call that harassment. I have never harassed a poster in my life. I just thought it would be a little more professional not giving out their statistics. You do not see other companies do that.
Harassing e-mail from ex-employer.

what kind of harassing email? nm

Reading comprehension people. It's part of the job.

My reply to the above was in response to the fact that we don't see physicians rushing through work and effecting the quality of patients.  I disagreed.  Stop reading what you want into it and calling mine spin. 


Nice people, can be low on work especially in the early part of the week SM
Be warned, they don't pay for normal reports.
I worked there part-time briefly. People are very nice to deal with, sm
and pay was okay.  You had to wait 90 days to get direct deposit, and until then checks were mailed, which is a bit of pain, but they were always on time.  I didn't care that much for my account, but the leader was always quite helpful.  They must be a bit disorganized, though, as I still get messages from the help desk to help out, and I have been gone at least 3 months!  And the help desk is apparently in India, if that makes any difference to you. 
cute!!

LOL! That is too cute.
I lived in Michigan very briefly years ago, and everyone looked at me as if I had three heads every time I said anything. My drawl is very pronounced. :)
very cute
it's nice to laugh and be open minded!  I wonder why these people come here at all - it must be the reason to !
LOL! Cute ... nm

Cute. Now, give me a toke :) Just kidding! nm
:P
Cute :-) Yep, we got paid today. Now I can buy that popsicle I was dreaming about ... LOL nm

over-zealous recruiters - aren't they cute? (no message)
.
professionable -- thats cute- did you make this mistake on purpose or really think that is a word?

I have never heard professionable before.  lol


 


 


DVHP gives vacation time to part-time people. nm

OH - I thought part transcription, part escription, but don't know for sure
nm
They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
There is a part-time and a flexible part-time, just left there and they offered
me both. Flexible, however, is more or less when they need you (I.e. weekends), part-time is fixed hours.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Yes I know they hire part time because I referred someone there for part time.
They are internet based.
From what I understand, the part-time positions will be only be for those that are already part-time
It is not a restructuring of the company, just of some of the existing part-time positions.

I know that there are a few employees who have been with Keystrokes for many, many years who are part-time and they will not displaced.

Other than that, there have been many discussions why there will not be any new part-time employees hired, and I really don't think they will back down on that.
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances.  It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company.  They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!!  Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm

need to keep from naming names.  I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line. 


I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company.  I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people.  If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession.  When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl.  If it were me being talked about, I would be livid.  I certainly understand why the posts were deleted. 


Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts.  I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies?  I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for. 
Okay, I get that part but... sm
aren't our IP addresses available only to the board administrators?

Or was the OP trying to say that the board administrators have a vested interest in this particular company... and keeping this particular company's name clean??? (If that's the case, I won't act surprised when my post is deleted... but I'm new here and I honestly have no idea who has loyalty to a particular MTSO, or not...)


This is part of the UAW
I am not sure this is a good bet for MTs.  There are some benefits but I do not see that you get the full tilt of auto worker benefits .. not by a long shot.  Keep in mind too that many employers of MTs .. most particularly hospitals go bonkers over the mere whisper of the word union.  The other thought that strikes me is that the auto workers are in more dire straits than we are .. so how good is this union thing after all?
well, part of their ad says they pay
9-11 cpl, so some MTs ARE getting the 11 cpl and it has to be for a good reason (i.e., high producer, dependable, versatile, longevity, etc.).
it's probably this part of it...sm
necessary decision in order for them to move forward and achieve their new goals for 2008
What the hey? What do you mean I was a part of it? sm
It's not much of a secret where I work now (TransTech).
this part got me....
For those who have had a bad experience, I suggest giving it another try.

Aiya!!
For the most part
I used to work for them. Communication was kind of lacking, but I have seen worse. The work was relatively easy, and the pay was average, and I always got paid on time
Looking for part-time
I am looking for a part-time or IC (part-time hours) transcription position with flexible hours.   If anyone can direct me to specific companies who may consider this, I would really appreciate your help. 
looking for part time
Webmedx used to hire part time and they are looking for people. Also look up Amphion on the web. they are in Wisconsin.They have hired part time in the past, may still be looking - nice people, steady company.
See, that's part of the problem.
I'm not saying "all negative posts are bad." The ones giving specific details can be VERY helpful.

It's just that usually no one comes here just to say "I love Company Name" (or if they do they get flamed). OTOH, people do come here to post "I HATE COMPANY NAME" - sometimes giving reasons and sometimes not.

In addition, when opinions are requested on a particular company, the negative posts saying "It sux. NoMessage" outweigh any positive posts 3:1 - and again, positive posts are frequently flamed.

Bottom line - I think the overall viewpoint here is slightly skewed towards the negative.
