At least that was my impression of her.
You're right though. She'll get her come-down some day.

No, but have a sup who acts like a neurotic mother.
The games that are played by this person are so obvious. Especially the silent treatment. Then comes the drop in income as she punishes us because of some unknown offense.
I'm being trained for QA, and the guy taking me through the training acts like it's rocket sci
I think he's making it out to be harder than it really is. Glad to hear so many actually find it easy.
I threatened harrassment when she
me after I left SS. And, in the email she had sent to me, she was condemning her employees for their lack of attention. So, I e mailed her back and condemned her for HER lack of attention and inability to remove e mail addresses. IT WAS QUITE COMMICAL, I must admit.
They'd pay even faster if threatened with
you calling their clients. I doubt very seriously the client wants to be called to court as a witness of work done under your name.
I didn't say they did, I said our STM threatened us
with having to offshore if we couldn't keep work in TAT. It made we think that it was in the works to offshore.
MDI-MD is great but we do occasionally get threatened by
Dorothy that she will hire more MTs to the account when the account gets out of TAT.
Then how are you being threatened to work your schedule
?
not everyone feels that way...
I just had to say that I have saw the posts regarding those who did not like you or said that you were awful to deal with, but I don't agree. I'm still with D&L after you brought me on and love it. I never had any problems with you. You handled your job and kept me in work. I was very surprised to find you no longer there. I wish you luck in whatever you are doing now!
Yes, me too. I know how OP feels. I also SM
want to add to GP, you sound like a wonderful person and I have always enoyed your posts.
I'm not out of this, but the end should be coming soon.
Feels kind of right, what your saying
"The other troublemaker"
It is evident that not everyone feels the same way
I am another MT that feels a recruiter should be here arguing for or against their company. If they are good company, they will retain good MTs whether they offshore or not. In regard to company paperwork, not everyone is inclined to own a fax machine. It is not a prerequisite for a job. 
finally, someone else who feels the
way that I do. We are all human beings with feelings and deserve to be treated as such. Thank you.
IMO, FN feels MTs are disposable
They must think there is an endless supply of warm bodies to do this job and put up with being treated poorly. I really didn't have any trouble with the staff, the platform or the pay -- there just was no work. Therefore, I took on a second job and phased away from working for them. I need money to live. Getting 5 jobs, then No Job Available for the rest of the day was unacceptable.
Does everyone get it yet?!? They don't care about their transcriptionists. What they care about is their TAT and being sure to remain over-staffed. When I told them I was leaving, the response was, Well, you have to do what you have to do. We are all replaceable in their eyes: Disposable, robotic typists. Their loss.
MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like
:+
Just curious as to what MTSO feels is good pay for
x
10.5 w/ benefits & niceness feels good to me
.
Yep. This MT feels like a ping pong ball...
Meanwhile, because the last 6 months has not been the best with the MTSOs, owe lots of bills, and looking to change jobs for about the 3rd time. Actually very tired of being promised and then not having a full paycheck. What am I to tell the bill collectors today? I am going to apply to another job, or take on another, because my job is always running out of work? Talk about a poor credit reference. Uggg. Signed the ping pong MT.
Anyone hire on with MQ recently that feels it's a good fit? Getting the pay you wanted? nm
,
You'd be surprised who feels they aced tests but didn't.
Everyone always thinks they are the big kahona in testing but I am never surprised at lower scores.
If you bombarded them with tons of emails, etc., you probably hindered your ownself.
Never be too sure of yourself. I see it undone every single day.
A company feels like if you keep your credit in good standing, then
they can expect the same from you. I am in total agreement with a company checking, I have nothing to hide, in fact am very proud of what my credit score is. They don’t care what you owe or how much you owe, the only thing they are looking for is how do you handle your credit. When you are renting now, places check your credit. Smart move on their part.
not to mention, this feels like a push to make this just a part-time
job because it seems to be happening already. My partner drives a school bus and they do that to the drivers, they only allow them to work so-many hours a week, with absolutely NO benefits, other than the few the union has gotten them, and the bit higher pay scale. My partner also has had the union fight for his job many times especially when new managers would come in and right away want to 'clean house', get rid of the higher paid, senior drivers. It costs him 37 dollars a month though for 10 months and that is a drag too but in the long run, he does have some protection and the union is only as strong as its members. they are also in bed with management most of the time but these managers are usually nasty, aggressive, and would rather just hire their friends and family, and that is one thing I appreciate the union for, if nothing else...
you have to have an advocate - someone has to have our best interest in mind if we are ever to keep our jobs...
Nope, just tired of the whining; feels like a daycare center
Seems to me all the time and energy put into this board whining over something that cannot be changed would be more wisely used either (a) learning VR or (b) putting out one's resume.
who is angry???
/
You have every right to be angry!
I totally agree with your frustration, but to let it eat you up is going to affect your sanity. You must move on. It sounds like you are a good MT that flexes and really wants to work, so why not move on? Do not take their BS any longer. You see the other posts.
I don't know if this is the same MDI-MD that Datakey MT is involved with (Baltimore office), but that lady is good for bait and switch. She spoon fed me for about a week with discharge summaries after hiring me for clinic notes. She told me this account had to be caught up first.... What a joke! 
Why so angry?
I only stated my experience with OSI. I stated my point of view. I have NOT worked for 6 nationals, so I don't have the vast experience of one who has worked for so many. So far I am happy with OSI. End of discussion.
How angry would you be if this were you? sm
I dropped a prescription off last night at CVS to be filled, pretty simple prescription. The prescription was for Eucerin and triamcinolone mixed for eczema. Today I send my hubby to pick the prescription up, mind you he had no idea of what the prescription was for. When he gets home I open the bag to find a jar of Eucerin cream with the prescription label attached, seal on top of jar not even removed. I called CVS about this mistake and she stated just bring it back and we will mix it. I should not have to drive 15 minutes to take it back when it should have been filled correctly in the first place. This tells me that the pharmacy tech/pharmacist, not sure which one filled it, did not read the prescription fully nor did the pharmacist whose name is attached to the prescription check it correctly.
This angers me as it was a small mistake, but still a mistake. How many people have lost their lives because of small mistakes. You have a level of care that you are supposed to provide and today the pharmacist performed his job inadequately. How many elderly that do not have a line of defense to help them have taken the wrong medicine and suffered severe consequences. I am going to CVS shortly and they will hear from me, in a professional manner, but corporate will also hear from me tomorrow.
Angry now
Everyone's upset with Lisa can be articulated in one sentence: Transcend IS SELLING AMERICA AND ITS WORKERS DOWN THE RIVER AND WE ARE MAD AS H*** ABOUT IT. My anger is not going away anytime soon.
Not angry at all!
The poster stating she is being scammed sounds angry. The ones whining and complaining about how horrible it is that they have VR and blast every company they work for are angry. Not me! I signed the same agreements, I work longer and longer hours, yet I'm not moaning and groaning, yet you call me angry? Look, if you agree to make a low line rate, do the math. We all know what we are signing up for. We know what this job is about. We know where the industry is going. Where is the scam? Again, take it or leave it, but the constant whining is annoying. I'm a work at home MT - that's it, it's not that special. I have been doing this a long time and it has been an easier job than most and I have been very lucky. Unfortunately, it is changing, oh well, doing the best I can, hope it lasts a little while longer, but if not, I'll be moving on to the next chapter. The end!
What an angry person you are.
 Chill out man.
I agree. It's sad what one or two mean or angry
more sad that everyone just believes that every post is by a different person and is 100% correct and truthful.
Sad for everyone.
That is horrible that she would be angry with you...
not your fault her quality was not what they required...hopefully she is not mad at you anymore and has moved on to a company that is the right fit for her...
Why such an angry post. Someone
was just making comments from their point of view. Something going on there. This board I am sure is for all comments, but seems like sometimes sore spots get pushed, or buttons. Why is anything an employee problem anyway? There is no employee problem. If the employee does not like the way they are treated they can leave. Just like if people don't like the comments on this board they don't have to read it. I sure hope the above poster does not hold a position with Axo...just IMHO.
What is up with all the angry, bitter MTs?????
Do you think we do this job as a hobby? Do you expect us to change our budget without any notice without major difficulty because work distribution isn't a high priorty to MTSOs?
Why so angry that some have husbands
who pay the bills? My gosh woman, get thee to some therapy! In the old days (not so many years ago) the men went to work and paid the bills. What is it about that that upsets you? You are woman, hear you roar....you work your fingers to the bone, can't pay the bills, feel unappreciated, but still continue to do this job. Why stay with it if it isn't fulfilling you?
I can understand you are angry, but the
only one you are hurting it you. Let it go and move on. Actually I think they did you a favor. It wasn't the worst place I've ever worked, but certainly not the best. There have been lots of changes since I left and they haven't been good ones for the most part from what I've read from the numerous posts here.
Unfortunately if you are new finding another job probably isn't going to be that easy, but if you don't adjust your attitude you're not going to last anywhere. I'm not trying to be hateful either.
And some on this board wonder why the MTs are angry!!
I just don't get why people do not have common sense, how would they feel having this done to THEM. I believe there is a law (I heard of it on TV or read it on google.com -- a law article companys need to give notice in this type of situation,. They DID know in plenty of time to help MTs prepare their lives. Makes me pissed at people.
You're angry? Really?
Wow! It doesn't take much to anger a 14 year old though... You're an adult MT? this stuff makes you angry? that's wild! 
I have to stick up for angry.
I am happy but I get unhappy when someone tries to push something off that is simply not true. She started her post with an untruth by saying she was in the trenches when it was pointed out in several posts that she is a team lead which is far from the trenches if you read the position open ads from Transcend - it is a lower management position that is used as a stepping stool.
She does not even give the same information about outsourcing that is given by the higher levels of management.
And her worry about offshoring or outsourcing or whatever word you want to use for sending our work to foreigners so they can take our jobs away is a croc - since the company was with before had a school in offshore.
If these positive thinkers would just post the truth it would be a lot better. When you start reading management posts that are not true, you wonder how much more is being hidden that you will uncover the longer you work for them.
You cannot say that any company is without problems. All you can say is how much effort is being made to correct what is wrong and let people make up their minds from that.
I know you are hurt and angry but there is
They can adjust their pay scales any way they want as long as minimum wage is met for your state (if you are an employee). It is not illegal.
It PROBABLY will be illegal for you to contact clients as I am sure there is language somewhere in policy, etc., that states you are not to do so.
Be careful with your anger. It could get you in trouble.
Remember: Webmedx is not the first company to do this and the MT industry is not the first field to have this happen, either.
I should not have posted sounding angry. The
fighting back and forth is juvenile and I am not going to take part in it any longer. The only drama with Keystrokes is on these boards. Please don't let it stop you from applying. We want long-time, solid, steady MTs.
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.
Checked to see who the person was who was so angry...and....
She worked at Shapin for 2 days and was unable to complete her work with any quality at all. Her scores were in the low 80's. So YES she was MOST DEFINITELY let go and YES she is MOST DEFINITELY angry about that. Sorry S. Please retake a Medical Transcription course before moving on. All employers would appreciate that!
No, they have not. (insert angry face here)
I talked with a few other MTs and nada. In my mind, this is just a really mean thing to do and there's absolutely no reason for it other than to be plain mean. The lady who was in charge of this stuff before had them out by January 3rd.
No end-of-year bonus either or even just a nice card....something that was always appreciated. Team that up with constant lack of work, a noose that gets tighter and tighter as far as big brother watching, and you have a company that has gone waaaay downhill as far as respect for it's employees goes.
And that's the crux of it? How dare they get angry?
That just irks the heck of out of me that they have the absolute nerve to get angry when people start questioning how the bills are gonna get paid. That's ridiculous! I'd start looking now; if they've lost that account it could take months and months for them to find another one that size!
Nasty, angry, and bitter
About a year ago, none of us were. We knew there were changes and trying to go along with them, but as SM so perfectly put it, they have made it very difficult. I could not have said it any better SM, cheers to you.
If you think this company is something you would like, then more power to you, just remember they are about their profits and they do not gave a damn about us.
It was your stupidity that made me angry..sm
Don't you realize that you are a 'troll', contributing nothing to this forum?
After seeing all of the no work posts here, I'd think they probably got a lot of angry sm
emails, calls, etc. I used to work for them and thought they were a great company, but even a couple of years ago, the work would dry up and you had to work a 24-hour day practically to get all of your lines in. I still have an email from D that told me to work extra but not write it down on my time sheet. I'm tempted sometimes to show it to the labor board and see what they have to say about it. Probably not worth my time and effort … just a funny thought sometimes. I have moved on and the more I read lately with the VR and all that, it seems that was a good thing. For those still there, I hope things turn around. Good luck.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY CARE IF WE'RE ANGRY-sm
or if we EAT, for that matter -- all that matters is the holy TAT and harrassment by leads, managers if there's even a hint of jobs going out of TAT.
They think that by OVERhiring, as is happening again now, it will keep them in TAT. What WILL happen is the same as last month: NO WORK!!! while management will remain incommunicato and aloof, as usual (remember -THEIR salary stays intact, payments on their hybrids will be made on time, their mortages will still get paid and their kids will get fed while we'll be struggling again for work.    
not okay for me to get angry but okay for her to antagonize, read the whole thread
if she talks like that to someone face to face she deserves to get her teeth knocked out.
haha, you are the one who sounds angry and bitter...
Don't worry about me or what you think I should do or need to do. I still have every right to express my opinion on this board, and you again are being rude and typical of 'your' profession.
Again, I believe medical care should not be a business. That sounds ludicrous to me. People without insurance cannot have access to health care...and people like you do not care.
We get it already, now perhaps you can go bother someone else. You are really starting to get repetitive and rude.
Let me get this straight. You were angry because they did not have an opening on the account that y
were they supposed to do, remove a current employee to make room for you? They can only hire for accounts that have openings. I don't think they were unwilling to work with you, as you think, but maybe that's all they had open at the time.
