Are moderators on this board various different company officials?
?
The moderators said stop correcting people's posts - not questioning medical reports -
The OP was talking about in actual medical reports, not on these posts - or at least that is the way I took it.
I too am concerned about the way medical reports are looking and being put on charts. It is ridiculous and dangerous!!!
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.
Scroll down the board. This company has been asked about
several times this week, if not every day this week. Not much info other than they don't pay very well.
Most of the people that I have seen asked off of an acct were not on QA
as they had been taken off a long time ago. QA can only catch what goes through it. Several of the MTs that are on our account do multitudes of work and when you look at what has been sent without blanks, sometimes it is sickening. QA can only correct what is sent to them. Some companies are too fast to take someone off of QA and then those folks speed on through without caring what they send to the hospital. Several have gotten caught at that game and those are the ones who have been asked to be taken off the account. If those had gone through QA it never would have happened. I know our QA staff has requested certain MTs (whose work we have seen in the database) be put back on 100% QA and if the co won't do it, we can't do it. That's how that happens.
I just think a lot of questions are asked on this board that should be private so to speak...

Yep one of two people on this board
LOLOLOLOL
You people are a joke on this board...
the original poster just asked a simple frigging question! I used to work at OSi and I know who he/she is referring to. JP was a nice lady, and someone I learned a lot from, and maybe she just wondered if she still worked there.
Many people come to this board to find out
have had with MT companies that they may be checking out or applying to. I personally appreciate any information that I gain from this board and from the experiences - good or bad - of anyone who is kind enough to post that information before other people have a terrible experience with a company like not getting paid, like getting ripped off, like being lied to, or otherwise. I've also found a great transcription job as a direct result of the positive comments made about that company on this very board. If you want everyone to post nothing but positive comments, what is the significance of the Company board?
Who died and left you in charge of being the posting police?
And you trust the people on this board?

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.
Why must people be so negative on this board?? nm

IS THIS AN OSI AND MQ BOARD, OTHER PEOPLE THAT GRIPE GET CRUCIFIED. I.E. SS
When we get on this board and complain about our line count at SoftScript we get immediately told to go away. Our lines disappear day by day. Yet, any post for OSi or MQ seems to stay. We are people with legitimate gripes too (not to). Yet, we in turn get told to find a new job while you people continually gripe about your companies stealing from you. Try getting your lines taken away from you on a retrospective day to day basis and see how you like it. At least your lines are still there the next days, ours are not. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO GRIPE TOO. 
This is so true. People on MQ board always complaining, but sm
things do not seem to be that much better elsewhere according to a lot of posts on here. It's always something.
Thank you to all the KS people who posted below - Love this board! NM

Its why people complain about negativity on this board
Some people want to think that the people posting negative things here are just malcontents. Sometimes, when a person speaks the truth, half a dozen other folks jump on to say its not the truth and everything is roses and rainbows. Usually the truth is somewhere in the middle. But some people would prefer to believe the sunshine being blown you-know-where by recruiters because they want to think they have lucked into a goldmine. Well, its a crap shoot - maybe you did and maybe you didn't. Each person's truth is going to hit them only after they are working the account. So if she only wants to hear about the rainbows, let her have her fantasy. Reality will come soon enough when she gets no paycheck. Then she can pay her bills with all the rainbows.
This board is not to attack people by name. Please read about Keystrokes. sm
attack people by name. In Lee's defense, she has over 200 people working for Keystrokes now and accounts in a lot of different states. As managers, we have started taking on more of the day-to-day and HR and the clerical staff take care of the transcriptionists. It is a hard thing to learn as an entrepreneur but delegating is very important. We are finally seeing her do this, and things are much smoother. One person simply cannot do it all in a company of this size. I wouldn't want to own my own company for that reason. The hours she works would kill me and I would be divorced. The constant travel of this year would cause most people to take days off after each trip, but I have talked to her hours after she got in from a one-day trip for a meeting to sign a contract and while tired, she is still out there making sure that our jobs are secure.
No one was out to get you or to mess up your life. I am sure that there is more to the story than you are saying but I find it hard to believe that you were ignored. I personally talk to each person hired for one of my accounts and make sure that they have all that they need.
If you came during a hectic time and felt you were not treated fairly, on behalf of the company, I apologize. However, and this is not an excuse, with the growth that Keystrokes has experienced, there are bound to be hectic times and bound to be changes. I, for one, am glad that the changes make Keystrokes a better place to work. I hope that someday Keystrokes replaces MQ and Spheris at the top of the national companies and know that if they do not, it is because they refuse to compromise and hurt the transcriptionists.
Life is about choices. Mine has worked well for me. We should all help each other rather than carry around so much negativity.
"slander presented on this board by people like you." Sounds like
i
I was talking to the younger people on this board basically
because I am seeing where people are sitting here actually waiting for work to come in while they don’t have enough money for their bills, no money for food, no money to survive on. Why in the world if you are younger do you beat a dead horse so to speak because this profession is steadily going down as it is and if you don’t have money now, do you think over the next few years it is going to improve? I have worked most of my years in this business away from home. I had children but years ago we were not given the choice of working from home, imagine that! We probably then had more of a family life than what I read on this board now with people saying in order to squeak out a living they are working 24/7. I have probably worked more than most here but when I had jobs outsourced from underneath me I had no option to sit and wait for work to come my way. I went and found more. There is a simple solution but most here just seem to complain and do nothing except go right down the drain.
There are so many hits on the job board for jobs that I wonder if people are qualified that respond
or just send in a resume if they are not. Would be interesting to hear from some of these companies what type of response they are getting.
The thing to remember about this board is that there are more negative people than positive that pos
The reason is that a lot of MT's have had bad experiences EVERYWHERE they go, if you know what I mean. They then bash the most recent company over and over again.
The same few people seem to have worked everywhere and have something bad to say about every company.
Take everything with a grain of salt on here. It is a gossip board.
The only ones to believe the negativity about are those that do not pay or bounce their payroll checks.
The rest? Well, most are decent companies that might not be a good fit for everyone. There is not much difference between all the bigger ones except whether they send work offshore or not. Otherwise, rates are similar, benefits are similar, work load is similar.
This board is full of nasty , angry, bitter people. Why? sm
With this economic crisis that the entire world is under, we still have jobs that are fairly secure. We have jobs that pay more than minimum wage. We have benefits, unless IC status. We have good work environments, do not have the risk of losing an arm, leg or life in a piece of machinary or being blown up in a mine.
Yes, there are companies that do not pay. Yes, there are companies that do not pay more than 6 cpl, but we have a CHOICE on who to work for. Don't work for them. There are plenty of good companies that treat their employees well.
Christmas bonus? My husband was laid off last week from a job he has had for 27 years. That was his bonus.
Unemployment is at record highs, prices are at record highs and it does not seem to have an end in sight for many years.
Perhaps a depression would show Americans that nothing is free and people would stop standing with their hands out all the time.
As a society, we have come to expect everything to be handed to us. As a transcription professional, it is disheartening to see all the angry, bitter, hateful posts here all the time.
Transcription companies face the same rising costs as every other company out there and I am sure they feel the crunch too, but they are not telling this every second like other industries.
I am not an MTSO, not a manager, not a troll. I am just an MT who is grateful for her job and skills that will allow her family to survive this crisis without scars.
That is completely untrue. Why are people bashing Transcend on the board?
They are a good company, with good people.
No. Only the Administrator and moderators. NM

Moderators, please explain
Why do you keep deleting posts from MTs who are trying to help other MTs by letting them know what companies may actually be worth working for? The board mentions a lot of negativity about a lot of companies--I'm sure we don't mind seeing a couple good ones every now and then. Wussup!?
Moderators or programmers
Something is wrong with the reply box. Could som someone please check it it? The Breaking News
box overlaps and screws up the typed reply, as in mine above. Thanks.
Attention Moderators: Still Having Problems
Still having problems with the search box. When I type something in the search box (even something that I can see within the first 5 threads of the page I'm on), I get a COMPLETELY BLANK PAGE with no search results. Is there something wrong with the search engine???? Thanks!
Wow now we have MTSO moderators handing out advice
get outta here!
really nasty comments are deleted by the moderators..
and sometimes they are even checked before they make it to the board and deleted.
Guess the moderators didn't like it for some reason.
And only the original poster would have gotten the e-mail stating that their post had been removed.
I had a post flushed once. I wasn't happy about it. But it's their board, their rules, their say-so.
Provide it to the moderators along with TB's phone number to call. :)

The moderators have already requested that you stop with the grammar police stuff.
This is not the forum for you to try to be queen of QA. I am not insecure about my grammar skills, but I certainly am not going to get all in a tizzy if I make a mistake while posting on a message board, nor will I get all bent out of shape if I see an error in someone else's post. This forum is here to network with each other about various companies, hence the name COMPANY board and not GRAMMAR board.
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!
xx
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

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.
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#
x
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?
.
This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

Posted on wrong board. Plz see Seekers board.

Sorry! Wrong board. Reposted on Main board. NM

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?
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.
There is a comedy board...put your remarks on that board. nm
nm
Then this is the "Unprofessional" MT board. Pulic board,
x
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).
