False statements
Amen to that.
Besides stating that your DD is not there, when it is NOT there is not exactly a false statemtn. TT112 needs to get a life
So far as I know making false statements is illegal
See possible answer post..............now I'm going to work so I will have a paycheck to be deposited.
If illegal to make false statements, everyone would

It is not slander if it is not a lie is it?
If it truly was your experience that you are relating here then how can anybody say that is slander? This is what is being used on everyone who posts their experience with them that was a negative one and that is wrong wrong wrong!!!!!
How can you sue people for slander
or damages of any kind if they are telling the absolute truth. There is no slander in that.
sounds like slander...hmmmm
;)
She is here to slander a good company just simply
because they decided to change their mind on an MT trainer position calling the owner a liar. How sad is that. If she only knew the owner and what a good woman and professional she is.
Gourdpainter - Aren't you the MT being sued by MTSO for slander/standing up? Yeah I need that.

statements
If you don't work for them and never have, how do you know these statements are untrue?
Odd statements.
If you already were past the application stage then hopefully you already had an idea about what working at DRC would be like.
All of the posts yesterday confirmed that Acusis had bought DRC, so that comment about validating it made no sense to me.
Finally, maybe it's just me, but I've always considered accepting a job based on my interaction with the recruiter and/or employer and not the unknown/unnamed MTs of said company that I have absolutely no knowledge or interaction with. (Unless DRC's recruiter is now offering up current employee reference calls for your pleasure.)
Good luck at your second choice. I am staying with DRC/Acusis and I frankly could care less which MTs decide not to.
Please don't make such statements
I don't work for this company, never have. Yet it seems that people are always saying things that are not true about this company and causing a HUGE stink on this board. I can imagine that this has to be painful for the owner, as I have seen her posts in the past. Please don't do this.
These conflicting statements may be due to their
hiring seasoned MTs. The person interested would need to ask them directly.
I agree 100% with your statements! nm

Why are you making statements on a company YOU don't know about?
That's how hearsay and rumor gets fed.
If you don't know then guess what -- YOU DON'T KNOW!
No, you are not chained to your desk. If I am going to be gone 20 min or more, I need to clock out. No one has ever checked up on me or questioned my time. Ever.
Proof of statements made
Can this be backed up by some proof? There are a lot of good companies out there and great MTs. It would be a shame if you prevented them from an awesome partnership from these statements that may or may not be true.
I am QUALIFIED to make my statements because....
I worked with these people for years and saw how they treat others. It means absolutely nothing to people in the managment of SPI to fire people or lay them off or just take your work and send it to India or Manila. Don't think for one second that your job is safe. They are all about numbers...Its a numbers game...meaning revenues.
The Philippine Telecommunication company did not get to be a company worth over $100 billion US dollars by paying labor to US employees. They know that by taking US jobs and sending them to India or Manila will increase their profit margins 25-35% minimally. Don't think for one second they will not do this.
The Indian companies are much better than they were. The Manila location has finally gotten it right. They will be able to transition your jobs smoothly without compromising quality or TAT. THAT'S FRIGHTENING TO SAY BUT TRUE!
They have also geared themselves with the strongest voice recognition product on the market.
So, let's take a look at the overall picture:
1. People resources available offshore. YES...thousands.
2. Ability to transition and carry out smoothly.....YES
3. Voice recognition geared to take over.....YES
4. Qualified editors in Manila........YES
5. Production MTs in India......YES
6. Large hospital organizations not afraid to offshore......YES
I dont know guys....what else does it take to paint the picture for you. You are all smart people....figure it out!
May I ask why you were not happy? Vague statements don't help very much. sm
If you don't feel comfortable posting here, please feel free to email your response.
I wanted to speak to some of your statements
When you say people keep things to themselves, there is basically nothing to keep. We were told when we first started to use the mouse (believe it or not but prior to VR I had never used a mouse!). I got used to that and then when outsourced was told to use the so called hot keys. I am now 66, taught myself to type around age 11 or 12 and I did not want to retrain to use keys when I thought possibly could just slow me down so I do not use the hot keys. My company said people could get more lines using them. I cannot get any more lines than the audio will let me go and I have that to fast forward most of the time so the hot keys are of no use as far as I am concerned. There is absolutely nothing more that I do. I read fast, correct mistakes, spell check and never read back over a report. If you call that any tips or tricks, well then there they are but basically the same I have done for straight typing all these many years. Oh, as far as the preferential treatment, oh, lordy I wish I could get that, especially on Saturdays when it seems like all the ESLs in the world are dictating on my end. We are not allowed to cherry pick nor X out work that we might not like to do. Ours is first in, first out.
Very nice post - all true statements! - nm

It's called a troll. Statements without backup. sm
There is a lot of work out there with Keystrokes and others. MQ is losing accounts, and the other MTSOs are getting them. I am sure that they want to see quality and limit volume the first few days. I would if it were my company.
Absolutely false
TSSC has only ever given 5-6 voice files to test. ONE and only 1 of the files is an ESL. You obviously have no clue what you are talkinga bout.
false hope
There was a lot of talk about how much work there was going to be with the new accounts, and evidently it was all just talk. They are still playing the same games they have always played. I wonder how many transcriptionists they actually have to cover all the large amount of lines that supposedly they were going to have? They will eventually run out of transcriptionists to hire who will stay there with no work.
False security...DUH !
The email address isn't what they check; any dummy can use a false name. IP address and computer MAC address is what they check.
No anonymity.
That is totally false
I am an account lead there and have been with the company for 3 years, and I can tell you that is not the case at all.
Absolutely 100% false
That is completely untrue. It's one of the most ridiculous rumors I have ever heard.
That's an absolutely false accusation.!
Don't know where you got your information but you're totally wrong unless you worked for them and did something which was against their rules...or was fired for something, or could it be because you just come on this board and bash them all the time.
Would you care to expand on your reasoning for your hateful comments?
That is a completely false statement
I have been with KS for almost 3 years now and they are, by far, the most caring, employee-oriented company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for many MTSOs over the years. If you are dedicated, dependable, and a hard worker, they will bend over backwards for you. I don't know where you got the idea that they only care about productivity. If you have problems, you need to contact one of the HIM managers or HR. They are all very, very nice people. Also, the CEO is one of the most caring people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
This post is patently FALSE
They did not keep only a handful of ICs to cover only what India cannot. Why would you spout such stuff without having facts at hand?
Also, CBAY is an American company with a subsidiary also in India (CBAY-India).
Their pay is on par with what most companies are paying. Payment is always on time. They are no longer doing employees, just IC status.
I didn't see any such postings and if there were, they're false
Why don't you use the time and energy that you use posting lies about one of the few REPUTABLE companies left and fix what's wrong with the company you're working for. I smell jealous management.
Go spread your lies somewhere else. This is utterly false. sm
There are three people who do the training, and it is very thorough. How would you know anything about the owner? First of all, it is they not she. Secondly, I have worked at KS for 3 years and have never had any contact with either of them.
I am training to be a lead transcriptionist, so I have talked to a lot of managers, other leads and transcriptionists. All are very busy, and the accounts are not overstaffed. Every one of the more than 20 people I have been in contact with are very happy.
There have been no accounts lost in the past several years. If you were really an employee, you would know that no one has pulled an account and that there are new accounts constantly.
Broken promises? Very vague, don't you think? The employee book spells everything out. There are no secrets.
Either they let you go for one reason or another and your are bitter or you were never hired.
I think that Keystrokes is the most improved company I have ever seen discussed here or on other boards. They did have problems when they started but those are in the past. Current employees are either happy or being worked with to make them happy.
I am looking forward to being a lead and to staying with Keystrokes as long as they will have me.
I think it's just the fact that she is posting under a false title

Transcend false recruiting/low work
I was hired two weeks ago to do Cardiology, but hardly any Cardiology. I am stuck voice-editing the leftover clinic notes!! Potential Transcend employees, beware!! Recruiters will say anything to snare you.
The only thing wrong with this is that the claims are false. sm
I have been with KS for 3 years. I am treated fairly. I was also the lead for the person who is named as the person putting in the lawsuit. That person was fired for quality issues and is obviously trying to get even with the company.
Lawsuits can be filed. Filing one or having one out there does not mean that the company is guilty. If that was the case, there would be no reason for a case to be filed; you could basically just send a company a bill for whatever you want.
Once again, a general blanket statement that is completely false. sm
Many hospitals and clinics do a 100% complete outsource of one or more departments. The dumping and overflow could very well be at a company level. How do I know? I am a Team Lead at a big company and we do 100% of the work for more than 50 facilities.
Overhiring and giving new-hires false impressions that
they'll be able to make a decent day's pay is scamming too, cupcake.
False or incomplete information is what hurts this industry the most. sm
Keystrokes is hiring and has many openings. The ER account I am on needs 2 or 3 more people, the B4 account my SIL is on is short-handed and they are hiring like crazy because of new accounts.
If you do not have enough work, contact your manager or go above her/his head. There is plenty of work there.
I also know for a fact that they are hiring for orthopedics due to a large new account because they sent an email asking if anyone knew anyone who was looking for full-time ortho work.
They do not overhire. Quite the opposite, actually. We are always asked to work extra. I know they are looking to balance this out but will not hurt current employees by overhiring.
It may be harsh, but it is true. Too many people come into transcription with false sm
expectations. They expect to get paid to stay home, watch their kids, work when they want, make a fortune after 6 months of correspondence courses.
It takes more than that to be a good MT and a heck of a lot more than that to be a great MT.
With this economy, it would pay to fine-tune skills, work on typing speed, learn new specialties. The best will survive and I intend to stay one of the best.
Not everyone is good at everything.
