VERY astute! For more scary info. on research & development, (sm)
go to Acusis' home page, click on Careers on the upper left-hand side, and then read the description of the Research Scientist job they want to fill. (In INDIA, of course!) Main interest seems to be word-rec, artificial intelligence, etc. And that word evangelize raises the hairs on the back of my neck.
Wow, you are scary. It sounds like a good thing for
TransTech that you moved on. Good riddance.
My pet peeve -
There is one doc on an account I do that drives me NUTS. He goes from screaming into his handheld and distorting the sound, so I turn my sound way down. The next sentence he nearly whispers, so I crank the sound up and hold my breath to hear him. And, you guessed it, this goes back and forth for the entire dictation. He is so loud he literally blasts me off my chair at times when he starts talking. At other times he whispers and I struggle to hear him. Argh! I wonder why on earthy he just cannot keep the same volume in his voice?? My ears are very sensitive, so by the time I finish any report with him I have a pounding headache.
Pet peeve
One of my pet peeves are the terms that are constantly used with apostrophes that are not supposed to be used with them. For example, especially the maneuvers, like Spurling or Lachman. Then you have the commonly used Baker cyst or Alzheimer disease. None of these terms are used with apostrophes in either Stedman's or McDorland's. I just had QA go through and add apostrophes to all of these terms. Am I totally wrong in abiding by the 2 references that I use the most as the standards?
Any new updates on Focus for QA? Good info/bad info? sm msg
I checked the archives and read all the messages. Have things changed for the better here? Is there steady, reliable work? Able to make any decent money? Thanks!
wow - now THAT is scary.... sm
Something to consider when giving out our private information...
I hope you hear from her soon.
This is scary:(
Anyone way out of line could do the same with any company for that matter. If someone asks a question and wants a truthful answer some flake out there. However, I think if posting as a KS recruiter they should actually be a recruiter. No need to be playing head games with fellow transcriptionists.
scary
I've been posting for months as zzz on the MQ board and I'm not concerned or upset that another zzz is posting. I find it kind of strange, though, that I'm aligned on most of your philosophies. You're a little more aggressive, but I do agree with you on many things including this subject.
The whole cesspool concept is outrageous and I really have no respect for a company who thinks this is good for anyone. I know the idea was to prevent anyone from running out of work (no downtime pay for MQ to worry about too), but...
Anyhow, I do what I have to do for me. They did what they had to do when they took over $300 away from me a month with no warning (daily bonus), so I shall follow my leader.
Now THAT'S s-s-s-sc-sc-scary!

I know, it's so scary when they
screw us over with pay cuts year after year. You're giving me an ulcer worrying with you, LOL. I hope everything works out for you and you're able to make enough money. If not, don't be afraid to move on to a different company. Gotta do what you gotta do to support your family. Crossing my fingers for you!
The scary thing is that quite a few of the
scary people on this board ARE MTSOs. I've seen more than one nutjob running around screaming and ranting to people. "Well, I'd never hire you to work for me!" GOOD!! I don't want to work for some psycho chick with a bad attitude anyways!!! The real shrews expect endentured servitude, don't pay squat, and have poor business management skills. If you're an MTSO and you're taking this post personally, well, I'm probably referring to YOU.
Scary, huh!! I agree:)

You means this are scary?

Scary thought.....
I was actually hired by them and due to begin training when my current company begged me to stay. I'm only making a little less but the benefits are SO much better!! 10 vacation days the 1st year, 6 paid holidays and sick time earned each pay period. And they were willing to agree to my schedule!! I am so happy now after hearing this!!
So true, it's scary! - nm

IC Status-a bit scary
I am going to be switching to IC status soon and was wondering if anyone who is already working as an IC can tell me what kind of line rate I will need to compensate for all the taxes I will have to pay, especially both sides of the social security tax. I am SE status now but that is probably going to change and employee status is not for me. I know taxes vary from state to state but what percentage of taxes do you average when taking them out of your gross paycheck each pay day. TIA for any information.
Yeah, I found that a little scary - sm
I do think though that a lot of places do that and just don't tell you - small MTSOs, of course. I don't believe it's the right thing to do though.
LOL, I agree! Some of these people are scary. nm

scary name. Probably hire "typists". nm

Ew - kinda scary! Thanks for the warning everybody. (nm)

The scary part about the new program is (sm)
we will get to see how much time we are actually wasting when we think we are working. - phone calls, interruptions, etc. Many of us who claim we are working 8 hour days are probably working 6, and I'm probably one of the guilty ones. I think it will motivate me.
This is scary, I was recently hired :( nm
xxxx
what is scary is when they threaten to release
confidential information, basically extortion. I guess what I meant in regard to offshoring the work is when they have depleted their staff, what other option will they have?
The scary part of that is you never know what account you will get when you go with a new company.
That is what worries me most right now leaving my job. I know my accounts. Companies are not always honest about what account you go on and if they have long time MTs they probably have the best stuff so you get what they dont want.
Isn't it scary how quick people are to go for the jugular
? I think saying west coasts accts are all scary sm
is an overreaction. I've seen Florida, Texas and other accounts that were horrendous. 60% ESL estimate is really not bad at all.
goodness that IS scary, patient records sm
but also the allegations also reflect on your services as an MT and that is BIG, not sure how long been there. It would be important to clear your name in writing. Hopefully you kept the folder as records of truth. So this was a private client you were working for?? as opposed to a national MT company huh
AllHealth in GA - Good company, good equipment, any info about this company? (sm)
What type of work do they have? Any op reports? Appreciate any info.
My boss waited a year or more a few times. Scary. -nm

That's kind of scary. Rose was very nice to me, but then I guess sm
everyone is when they are trying to get you to take a job. The pay seemed decent for being an employee, but if the line counting method cannot be trusted, then I'm not sure that is so great either. And I'm a bit nervous about not having direct deposit. I have heard the check is in the mail story before ... ugh.
Thanks to everyone for your input. It certainly gives me something to think about. 
If you call being ripped off for more than 5 grand harsh & scary?
grow some guts. Unfortunately, this is profession has become a cut throat business, and if harshness is what it takes to get paid, then so be it. We are all just trying to survive here on the piddling pennies with which we are compensated. This MT is an extremely dedicated, hard-working MT whose business has been destroyed by ***********not paying for services rendered. It's unconscionable. It is not meant to be a threat, but rather a forewarning of what it yet to come.
Agree, scary.. and dangerous. Glad I have tons of

Any info on the company greatly appreciated. Both Transcriptionist and QA.
TIA
Good to know, thanks for the info. - sm
I used C-phone and have been considering selling it since he is the only one I have used it for lately, still sitting here by my desk. I hate using it though, like having the voice file in front of me where I can stop and start at will if necessary.
This drama NEVER ends! It is SOOOOOO scary, and so boring at the same time!
Now Lee will come on, with an empassioned plea to please call her, and yada, yada, the misunderstandings. This person left, or that person left, or now a new bolt of lightning. It is getting ABSURD to have this regurgitated at least weekly on this board! Same old, same old. I would NEVER work for Keystrokes, and can't imagine anyone falling for this saga and applying. Something is VERY wrong in KS land.
This company is scary, already sending out packed to us with terrible errors in it, and we TT MT'
are to have confidence in this company who does our payroll now, takes care of HR matters, etc. The other HR company had done such a great job for us. Just a little frightening, especially in regards to paychecks being correct and on time.
