I have no reason to meet with you, have a good job and certainly do not care to discuss with you where you send your work. I know what I read and it was quoted by a top official at your company. Even though you said the newspaper slanted the story like they wanted it to read, I saw quotes and never saw where the paper did a retracation of the story.

Speak much? What are you talking about? The person I was posting to
and I had a conversation, and last I looked, we were fine! Your post makes no sense, and your fight makes no sense. I was rather surprised that someone would so openly post something like that, when it could jeopardize one's job! How is that being a board monitor? Unreal!
The person who posted the job ad today is the owner of the company, not the recruiter.
Professional MT Recruiting Services run by a woman named Terri is no longer allowed to recruit on this website. However, it should be understood the actions of the recruiter should not be held against All American Medical Transcription.

Anyone posting about Keystrokes needs to take it to email.
If you don't like our rules on this site, you need to go somewhere else.
Was it just today or when? Nothing in my email regarding this subject. nm

I got the same form email today and
17 years experience here.
got an email today from them after applying
this was one of the requirements for an acute care MT
We now require a minimum of 5+ years of recent, full-time medical transcription experience. No other medical experience, experience gained through school or nonmedical transcription is acceptable. Recent means no more than a 2-year gap since last full-time transcription position.
I got an email from them today as well....it was very vague about what positions ....
were available. And the person who sent this email sent a mass mailing to several (at least 25 or 30) transcriptionists at one time. Seems to me this person is canvassing or trolling per se. I'm very uncomfortable with this one because I've never heard of them nor are they in any archives here on this board. I am also looking for any information on this company. Merry Christmas all.
I got the same email from the president of AAMT today but like
you say, a day late, a dollar short. I think they would best serve themselves by staying away from the Heartland employees. I personally do not know how they can hold their heads up with what has happened to our industry. I believe in global economy, but what they did was wash us right out of it.
Email me for details. Don't feel like getting bashed on here today!

I received an email today stating it was all approved. :-) nm

I wanted to tell person who contacted me via email
that I absolutely do nothing to achieve more lines (money) than just keeping (as much as possible) the audio at fast a speed as I can and also I use my mouse when working. Supposedly you are supposed to be able to edit faster using combination keys but I did not learn, did not care to learn and mostly can keep up with the dictation (either VR or straight) as it goes so I just do not think I could make more even using the combo keys. I also do not give out where I work because to do so would probably be a swamping of the company and I would prefer to keep my job to myself as long as I could.
Submitted resume 9/28 late at night. Received email today. nm

If you want to email me, please feel free. I am headed to the beach today through tomorrow :)
I live literally 1 block from the shore and have only been twice this year due to baseball with kids, my mother being in town for 3 weeks who does not like the beach and wants to be entertained all day long and a bout with the flu. I am going to take the rest of today and tomorrow and bake like a french fry!
Wrong. The person who was fired this week was from Keystrokes. I just got an email
from someone asking if was me posting here tonight, so I came to look. I agree with a lot that the poster has to say but I post my name when I post. Anyone who knows me or of me knows this. I do not have to post behind anonymous names nor do I.
I do disagree with some of what this poster says though and will take a moment to tell her/him something: You chose to run a service and knew or should have known what you were getting into. If you are doing all that, you should either hire more people or hire different people. The best move I ever made as a service owner was learning to delegate and hiring the right people including Human Resources, Accounting, Operations, QA, Recruiting and IS. (The second best move I ever made was to stop letting the posts on the MTStars and others affect me). Best advice I could give a service owner is to cough up the money for a good staff; it is worth it in the long wrong although hard in the short term.
While not everyone agrees with me or likes me or wants to work with Keystrokes, I do not feel a need to hide behind the anonymous nature of these boards and would rather have people know where I stand than wonder.
You would also know that I value our transcriptionists and know that as a company, Keystrokes constantly tries to improve. If you know me at all or anything about Keystrokes, you would also know that our rates are going up not down and we do not undercut prices to beat our competitors.
If anyone has anything to say to me directly, please use my email. I do not visit here often anymore and do not plan on starting again as it gets a bit addicting :)
Not on ER here, another acct. Got an email by mistake a few days ago with an Indian person in the
s
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.
Why don't you try contacting --sm
Fox News, as they seem to be following this pretty closely and they may be able to direct you to someone or somewhere for help. Good Luck to you and your kitty!
Were you contacting him regarding a position?
What are they looking for now? Do you know if they have a website?
I too suggest contacting them. sm
From my experience they are very happy to try to work things out with you. 
Only that they would be contacting me this week.
I got an email from tammy? who said someone would contact me this week, so we'll see.
Contacting Allegiant
The Allegiant Transcription Services Website has a link to submit your resume. Due to the substantial increase in work of late, Allegiant has been unable to answer telephone calls. Please submit your resume and you will be contacted if a position is available for you.
Thanks,
Allegiant Mgmt.
You might try contacting QA directly ...
I agree, this makes no sense and my guess is all the HIPPA folderol is just a smokescreen this person is throwing up (for whatever I do not wanna deal with this or stick my neck out for ANY reason) ...
alternatively -- I would recommend saving each and every report you type from this person AND THEN flagging the report for QA so you can fill in your own blanks if no one wants to help you. I type several doctors who -- without samples -- speak in some impenetrable monotone ... without my file of samples, their reports would be moth-eaten.
good luck - if your company has a chat board or if contacting someone else on that account/WT might be a (much less convenient and/ or discrete) alternative.
Good luck, Yes, people do actually quit jobs over dictators like that ... too bad so many companies seem to blame the MT and some imaginary work ethic problems when the real problem, imho, is lack of support.
All this turnover of MTs (or any other employee class) is VERY VERY bad for any company's bottom line... but so many companies seem to blame the MT personally ... it poisonous.
About contacting an attorney - sm
I too would like answers because half a truth is worse than a total lie because you mislead with half the truth and do much damage. Please clarify these issues for us.
1. Why would the company go to all the trouble to pull this two-bit prank when they could just say good bye to you if they wanted to. You have been ranting to all of us on shift with you for months about how you have been mistreated and were going to sue the company and demand unemployment. You did not tell the good MTs here who are ready to take your side and defend your position that All Type has a 3 strike rule and that you have told several of us that you were written up once for failing to make production of 1200 lines a day and then spewing some pretty foul language in an email to a supervisor about them making you do OP notes and type ESLs and how that was not fair to you. It is an acute care hospital. That is what we do. Do you remember telling us about being written up for falsifying your time card? Honestly, that is pretty serious. If you were the one telling us that, i cannot even imagine what you are not telling us and what your personnel file looks like.
2. I have not seen anyone leave, voluntarily or involuntarily on our team in some time. So who are you referencing when you say a lot of people quit or were fired. No one stays at a company that is horrendous and unfair out of the kindness of their heart. Are you telling us you just felt sorry for the company and the management team you hated and stayed to help them out?
3. Evidently you believe that you are a very high caliber employee and MT. I would think you would be able to go anywhere and find a perfectly wonderful job. I know most companies are just begging for real talent. Unemployment is probably your only alternative because we both know that you are NOT capable of working in any acute care setting - and unemployment and legal sources are going to laugh you out of the offices if you tell them the truth! Even if you fail to tell them the real story, your history is well documented.
4. From all of the foul statements you have made about this company and their management for months and threatening legal ramifications if they mess with you - I wonder why you would want to be a part of a company that you have made clear to any of us who will listen how much you hate All Type and all of the management. I also wonder if you do not know that from the beginning when you started making statements to the rest of us about lawsuits - that the company most surely handed your file over to a legal team. I suspect the legal department has been involved in all of this for several months.
Good luck missy. I have worked with you for well over a year and your professional behavior and abilities leave a lot to be desired. You have been so disruptive that most of your team has blocked you from IM and we are all glad that your drama from 4-12 everyday is finally done. You should have been doing your job instead of driving us all crazy with your IMs and maybe, just maybe this company would have valued you. As it is, what goes around comes around and your cheating, backstabbing, and lies came back around to you. I salute Karma!!!
Try contacting someone who has been there for a while to get the real story
you cant go by what someone says that is not there any longer. They are probably holding a grudge and will speak poorly of a company. you only get one side of the story and not necessarily the correct one.
I, myself, have been there for 2 years and plan to be at TH for a long time.
No they dont have incentives. Usually those who do provide incentive lower your base rate and make it look like you are getting extra.
No they dont have shift differential because if they hire you for 2nd shift, they normally pay you a little higher to begin with.
They DO PAY Holiday pay but you have to work if you dont ask off. Thus, you get holiday pay plus your line count which comes out to be double time like you are supposed to be paid.
How many companies do that?
NONE that I know of except TH.
Of course no company is perfect and if there is, good luck finding one.
I get paid on time, pick my own schedule, expected to work my schedule or notify them if I cannot stick to it for some reason, get QA feedback respectively, etc.
They have been growing in size and have been adding management to deal with the size. That is the only change I have seen in management.
I suggest contacting Medware
wanting to know information that should come directly from them, not people "that they think they are in the know."
If you're contacting clients ...
maybe they'd be interested in the following.
Extortion threat to patients' records
Clients not informed of India staff's breach

Try contacting them again. Navesys has been a blessing for me.
I took a job with Navesys a few months ago. The work has been steady and so have my weekly paychecks.
Contacting labor board.
Could some one tell me how to go about contacting the labor board about an issue with my employer? Since I am a remote MT do I contact the labor board in my state or the state my employer is based? This has to do with pay that I believe was deliberately shorted out of my paycheck as a retribution because I did not type reports on my secondary account that were approaching TAT when I was contacted about it by instant messenger an hour after my shift was over. I wasn't even at my desk an hour after my shift was over. I also found out a couple days after the fact that an email from my account manager's supervisor was sent to an email account I no longer use stating that I was requested by my AM to type some reports so they don't go out of TAT and would I please log on and complete these reports.
Now, lo and behold, my paycheck will be short by almost 800 lines because these 800 lines supposedly sat in QA and weren't completed by the time the pay period ended, even though my shift ended at 4 p.m. on the last day of the pay period. I have worked for this company for a whole year and this is the first time I have ever heard that the MT is not credited the lines produced until cleared by QA...and I'm not even on 100% QA. Furthermore, I can't see how I would have even SENT 800 lines to QA in a day. After multiple emails to both my AM and her supervisor requesting some sort of documentation where these lines went to, I still have heard nothing in regards to this and I'm fed up. Is this something the labor board will even handle?
Where at - in the corporate office?
or maybe you are management and get paid by the hour. I am guessing probably the hourly paid since you do seem to have a lot of time on your hands chatting all day.
I have 16 years experience and I did not maintain a job for this long with no skill.
Perhaps you should work on some SOCIAL SKILLS - you think? I have always heard if you're good at something you don't have toot your own horn, but you go right ahead and sing your own praises.
The corporate media
they are ALL ABOUT protecting other corporations - and censoring the news is what they do best. Just look at bush.
Ola Corporate Services
A most excellent company. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Great group to work for.
This is a perfect example of either corporate
We feel hopeful and excited that maybe, MAYBE, if the cosmos and stars align and unite, our employers may toss us a blessed $25 gift card, and you DARE BASH THAT HOPE??? I hope to get one as it will feed my kids for a decent LUNCH for once. You bash us with our hopes and its A-OK for corporate execs to DEMAND their Christmas bonuses which generally run in the 6 DIGITS, and often 7. Yup, that's not greedy, that's not childish, but a bunch of honest, hard working trusting soles transcribing for the health and safety of patients world wide are CHILDISH AND GREEDY for hoping for a crumb of the MONEY THEY MADE by the skin of their fingers for their CEOs. Get a life. You are either swill of the earth or one of the CEOs typing with 1 dirty finger on your laptop in your corporate jet. Fly off!
Corporate mentality
I am sure at least some of you saw on the news about the hospital shootings in Calif. yesterday. I was just talking to my neighbor today, who is a Occupational Therapist there. She was saying how bad the atmosphere in the entire hospital has been for the past 8 months. Somewhere along the line I think the compassion and caring has gone out of corporate healthcare. It is only about the almightly dollar now. This particular facility has been very secretative about lay-offs in the past months. People get called in and told you have 15 minutes to be out of the building. What ever happened to two weeks notice, they want their employees to give them two weeks notice before they quit but when they want to get rid of someone they just smack them in the face with it. The rumors were flying that there were going to be more layoffs and the shooter, whom everyone says was a really great guy, was apparently stressed out over the fact that he would be let go. It is a sad situation all over but if the corporations would care more about their employees and less about saving a buck morale in this country would be alot better than it is right now. My neighbor said they brought in a new CEO and that is when things got really bad. The real tragedy is that the manager of the department he worked in had just come up with a plan by changing schedules, and cutting costs in some other areas he was not going to have to lay anyone off. Everyone is saying if only the guy had talked to his boss. 8 kids are now without fathers. The hospital spokesperson steadfastly denied any future layoffs but the rumor is they are going to happen in June, it will be interesting to see how they do that after they got on nationwide TV and said no more layoffs are planned. A really tragic story, the guys who were all wonderful fathers gone for nothing.
not only the corporate mentality of sm
the way they treat employees but also the way the medical profession treats patients.
I have a chronic illness that puts me in the hospital every so often and I am telling you the care (or lack of) is ridiculous. Hubby works for this particular hospital for the last almost 20 years and he says he fears the day when some idiot comes in and starts mayhem. We did have an incident three years ago where some guy whose son had died went to the office where the doctor was at and shot and killed him. Worked out that he wasn't so ticked at the doc but he was ticked at the care his son got in the hospital and took it out on the doc. I am to the point I think the whole medical profession is something to stay away from.
Ola Corporate Services
 I just want to praise this owner and company. I have worked there for a couple of years now, and she is awesome! Very easy to get along with--work is always available in whatever amount I request--and pay is ALWAYS on time and no hassles. I love working here!
I put a blurb about not contacting until a mutual agreement is met. nm
tt
I love the one where the MT was bashing a company for not contacting her..
Sorry, I dont. Maybe call Corporate.
:
Info on OLA Corporate Services
in California. I have never heard of this one! Anyone have any info on it? Thanks!
Don't forget the corporate director of HR
He's a piece of work too, totally nuts!
I personally never give the corporate contact as
a reference. I always give a supervisor that I had as reference as they CAN give a reference. Many supervisors do not stay at companies and it is always better that they talk to someone who knows your work. HR has to go by the rules of just verification. You can give references though so get together with your supervisors and see if they will either give you their contact info or a letter of recommendation. That always helps. Right now with all the MTs out there looking, I would try to get my feet planted firmly on the ground as soon as possible.
Why not call the corporate office / payroll? nm

Corporate greed is driving it right out of existence
can afford to live in the United States and stay in MT. More & more of us are getting out. Some, like me, are trapped... been at it for too long (30+ years), and most of us are now what you would call the Working Poor. Back in my 20's when I came to that 'crossroads', I should've gone with my friend and learned court-reporting. So far their jobs haven't been teetering on the brink of extinction (yet), like ours are in MT.
Spoken like a true corporate sell-out.
Lisa and other corporate "hacks". You really outdid yourself on this one.
Been reading and watching a lot, but your posts are definitely the best I have ever seen as far as being totally inaccurate and misleading.
My first statement is that if Transcend is so ashamed of outsourcing/offshoring why do they do it. They need to be upfront about what they are doing and quit telling these lies. They do not just offshore work because there is no available help. They offshore work because it is cheaper. Too many nights I see 20 to 50 reports go flying off my screen while I work and I am left with nothing to do for the rest of my shift. If anyone cared about me and my having enough work, this would not be happening.
Transcend has publically stated that they use offshoring because it is cheaper - not because there is a lack of available help. They said they would not take work away from the domestics; but I guess my status is so low that I am not even considered a domestic. And your statement below that they would not use offshore if there was enough domestic help is completely absurd.
You and those other Fony ADHI people who have that stupid F after your name - those of you who think you are more important and better educated than the doctors - need to face reality. You picked up the phone after 'your public meeting and called Larry'. Who do you think you are? The most important person in the world? You are a brown-noser, trying to get settled into management by hobnobbing with the bigwigs. Did you ever stop to think that Larry might have far more important things to do than to chit-chat with you? Well, I guess it worked, you dug your way into a team lead position didn't you. And with that position you know just like everyone else knows that offshoring is not going away no matter how many state-side MLS there are in the company. You have just lost every ounce of credibility you may have had.
And how can you say that offshoring was your biggest objection to this merger. You obviously came over with TRS and they have a school in Barbados so even more work can be offshored. Did you object to them having offshore associates?
Lisa, its time for you baby ostriches to grow up and pull your head out of the sand and face reality. We do not believe you or anyone else that is trying to pass off these type of statements as true, just like we do not believe that we can make anywhere close to what we made with straight transcription by doing that VR stuff, especially with the problem-riddled platform that Transcend uses.
Things might settle down a little faster if you would just be honest.
I worked 30 years out in the corporate world
Suits are the same everywhere. They sit on their asses in their fancy offices and rake in the dough and make the peons beneath them make their coffee and run their errands. They rob from the poor and give to the rich! I've talked to them, covered their butts, lied for them and even gave them sexual favors back when sexual harrassment was just a big word! You must be married to one or you wouldn't be acting as if they poop golden eggs! They produce NOTHING but spin tactics and good old boy networking!
LOL. I read too fast and thought you were contacting her about porn work. nm

All of Focus is indian-based, except their corporate office in MA.
That is a smoke screen to make it look like a US based company. Imagine, indian MTs editing you an American MT with 10+ years of experience, and changing correct terminology to incorrect terminology. I could go on and on, but I won't.
All tech support is india-based, all QA is india-based, most mts are in india, except for the MTs here in USA working for them, all of their account managers are in India working the night shift (their time), day time (our time).
If you are an AAMT member, they have a mailing list that corporate sm
members can use two to three times a year.
