Plus I just saw a post from Marilyn

Posted By: on MQ over the weekend that she went back on 2008-02-19
In Reply to: No brainer - -

to MQ already and I do believe she was working for Keystrokes.  Keystrokes has posts on long distance issues and platform issues (using Meditech which is horrible).  I agree with your post.

Marilyn's post
Read you own post more carefully:  Probably going back there... does not mean she up and went back.  Geesh!  This person is a friend and co-worker of mine, and know for fact that she has NOT gone back.  No one wants to wade in that cesspool again.  As for not being able to post there, no one is sitting here telling me I can't.  Rules were meant to be broken, occasionally  
Marilyn - thank you (sm)
I had worked on an 800 number for years on a Dictaphone, and never had a problem. It just never hit me it might be the hospital. I don't really like the platform either but I love the account (I'm new too) and I love the support of KS, so I'll hang in there too. Again, thank you.
To Marilyn
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I had heard good things about this account from the person who was going to train me, and although offered another account if I preferred I told them I wanted to work on this one. So at this point I would feel foolish saying I now want to switch (since it has only been a few days). How long did you wait before asking to change? Also, what schedule do you work? When you switched were they able to give you the same schedule, or one that you wanted, for another account?
To Marilyn
I meant to ask, who is the client lead. I only know a few names at Keystrokes.
FYI-- Marilyn did NOT go back to
MQ, she merely stated she was contemplating it.  They have had issues with some KS accounts, and are trying to work out the bugs.  She is more than willing to give them a bigger shot than normal, because of NOT wanting to go crawling back into the cesspool.  And, there are no big LD issues that I know of  
To: anonMT Re: Marilyn's

to post on unless you work there:  Here it is....  So what do you think?  She is going back to MQ or she wouldn't be allowed to post there.


Posted by marilyn on MQ board:........Well, I never thought I would say or do this, but I'm probably coming back next week.  I went to a different company, tried working another platform.  Nothing is faster than DQS.  My first paycheck for 8 days work is $211.  I think that is about $3.00 an hour - their system had some problems with lag time, knocking us out of jobs, etc.  I have never been so frustrated in my life.  The Q is looking pretty good right now.  I hate ASR rate cut, I hate looking at CP's all day long, but at least the typing is fast and everybody is on the same platform.  By the way, MQ insurance is a lot cheaper than others out there too.  You don't realize how much better some things about MQ are until you don't have them anymore.  Flame me if you want to, but I'm looking forward to coming back.


marilyn - just wanted to see if you
decided to stay with Keystrokes?  I saw last week where you posted you might be headed back to MQ.  Did you decide not to or are you still undecided? Email if you don't want to post anything on the board.  I understand.
Marilyn - I think we're on the same account...I've been with KS for over a year (sm)
and was given this as a backup account...I can't make ANY lines on it at all...I've already given up for today.
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make.  I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me.   We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level.    Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination.  The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner.   Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter.  Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter. 
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site.  There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry.  For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

Last post
No, after I read a followup yesterday that said there were apologies and answered Michelle, I realized that and someone said to just get back to work and they were right.. even an apology was too much, plus it would look like I was just tagging along after JMO, which is what you are accusing me of now.

I just didn't understand where the posts went, it was odd, and I wanted to reiterate some things (the point I mentioned earlier, about seeing BOTH sides), but I see it really doesn't matter WHAT I say, you've already made up your mind about me and my motivations without even knowing me. Why am I explaining myself to you? I dunno.

It doesn't matter. Good luck to you and don't worry, God will take care of/deal with me, and I ask him to bless you all too.:)
TO POST ABOVE, AT MQ 6 YRS....sm

Would you please e-mail me at jcarros213@aol.com.  I "really" need information.  


TIA


This post should have gone under OP.

WHY DOES MY POST
On Greenlight Transcription keep getting erased?!
WHY DOES MY POST??

mine got erased too..I asked a question about eTransPlus and now it's gone???


Above post
Oh my.....I didn't know Wal-Mart had "greaters". I thought they were greeters! I am sure they are hiring though so you should do well there.

Why don't you sign your posts? Are you also the one that said SoftScript is the worst? Wow....there a lot of worsts out there. Guess we will all starve.
Will you post when you do?

Are you a SS transcriptionist?  Will you post your acknowledgement of e-mail?


It gives YOU something to post about right?!
What else would you post about?! LOL
I like your post!!

To Can't Say: Regarding your post below about
Can you say which recruiter told you that Transcend was buying MQ? 
Where did you see this post?
asdf
If you post their name they probably won't get any

resumes.  This way they'll probably get a few, but hopefully the MTs will be wise enough to turn them down.


Another good reason not to respond to a blind ad is that it could be the company you are currently working for - or you were working for  (LOL). 


 


I appreciate your post...perhaps I used....sm

the wrong word of undercutting, but when I became an MTSO 9+ years ago......a national was charging 13-18 cpl to the client and so I went ONE cent below that, 12 CPL.....and I get the work, have had clients for all this time...and I work for a national part-time....


Thank you for taking the time to type all that....much appreciated!! 


And you might want to post
your message in reply to the correct message. I am not oops.
I have only posted one message in response to this person.
Anyone could post on here and say they are from
Whose to say that poster posing as KS Team Leader or such is not someone specifically out to do KS harm?

For crying out loud, people -- just someone with a mean streak and nothing to do can get on here and cause harm. And the reason they can cause it is because most people on here will believe any post they read.

Now THAT is sad.
sorry about my post above, was

I think they are trying not to post here except
Still doesn't make any sense at all to come to a public forum and ask these kinds of questions.

I'd be reluctant to hire someone who had no more IQ than to do that.
PS: Just saw the post below, anyone do QA for them?

Thank you for this post!
Your post is 100% correct--disgraceful disrespect for the MT whose skill, experience, and expertise keep transcription companies in business! Unbelievable attitude. Thanks for your post--it is 100% right on!
PS to above post, sm
The accounts are teaching hospitals, acute care, and clinics etc. A mix of ESLs and non-ESLs. Not easy unless you really know your stuff, but good accounts. Good luck.
See my post below -
My experience was different but also bad!
