funny thing
Every time this company is spoken about there is always just one that will state good - and never a name attached - I say run and run fast - worked there and no pay, late pay and too many problems with office staff. Low pay for too much grief.

I was thinking the same thing
That's why I'm looking to get out of this job.
I was thinking the same thing,
simply because they are growing, they do both VR and typing, which is the wave of the future, you don't have to meet a daily line count, just a pay period amount. I'm worried SoftScript just won't be that flexible. I'm reliable and always work my shift, but I'm only human too, usually obtaining 98% or above, but as I said only human.
I was thinking the same thing.
When MQ first took over our office in the early 90s, they had a trip every year for office managers and up. One year my manager when to Hawaii, one year it was Vegas. This is a common practice among all companies. I bet the companies that have accepted bail-out money even have these trips.
But yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Not too smart to use your real name.
I was actually thinking about the very same thing
this morning. I can't think of many professions (other than ICs) who have to supply their own tools for work.
Funny, thing ... even with building, you
can ALWAYS find someone to do a job cheaper, but you WILL sacrifice quality. You can find someone to build the screened in porch for $3000 instead of $5000, but there's no guarantee about the quality of work, nor the fact that the roof might come crashing down on your head someday.
Just thinkin it's funny that you thing THEY are

FUNNY THING ABOUT MT CONTRACTS - SM
They're about as LOPSIDED as a 3-legged dog/horse/donkey - take your pick. WHO GETS TO WRITE THESE CONTRACTS IN THE FIRST PLACE?? Who has the most to say on what does or doesn't go into it? Certainly not the MT. They're almost all written by THEM - with the help of their attorney or in-house legal department - and I can guarantee you they didn't miss a trick.
Case in point: Ever look at your apartment/house lease, for example - you know the tiny print on the back with about 200 clauses - favoring, guess whom?? IC status might have its merits for the MT - CERTAINLY for the MTSO - no taxes, no SS to pay for you ... no worry about lawsuit for wrongful termination or worry about you applying for Unemployment - but they STILL b---- and moan ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.

I was thinking the same thing but didnt want to say anything LOL
I was thinking the exact same thing.
So what else is new. Sit and wait for a schedule as an IC you were HIRED FOR, but then again, better work nights and weekends, and quit having a life. OR ELSE.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
It totally sounds like an inside job. I can only speak for myself, but if I had found out that an employee of mine was shocked after finding out that a resignation letter had been sent and then finding out it wasn't even the employee's correct email, I would want to get to the bottom of it! It just seems like the VP wanted the poster out of there and was even fighting the proof she offered that it wasn't her email. Also, even if the poster did actually send a resignation letter (which I highly doubt), as VP I would have looked into the work history of this person and the years at the company and probably would have rescinded the resignation anyway. VP was just too eager to have her gone.
I've been thinking the same thing.
I stayed with the Q too long into the downslide. You are so right, it has a familiar smell. I cannot see myself doing that again. Just don't know if there are any more decent companies out there.
LOL. That was funny. I like that petty cash thing :)

I was thinking the same thing. I'd definitely pass on this company. nm
Every week a different company has bad posts. The funny thing is that sm
it just goes round and round. How about doing something about it rather than arguing back and forth. I think we all can agree that there are good companies and bad companies but that for the most part they are all pretty similar. Slipping through the cracks? It happens. Be the squeaky wheel and call the company. Obviously they need people if they hire. Perhaps your resume was stuck to another or your message not written down correctly. Perhaps you misunderstood something and need to clarify it. Perhaps they misunderstood something and need to clarify it. If you have chosen to work for a company and did your research, then you have to decide after a month or so if it is the right company for you or not. Transcription is a very small world and these service owners talk amongst themselves. They work on making transcription better not how to burn and tick off the next applicant.
Be realistic. These companies all have good and bad points. The really bad ones are obvious with the paychecks that do not arrive for months and those that continuously bounce checks and those that rip off their employees with fraudulent line counts. But the ones that are constantly attacked on here are the ones that have been around for awhile and will continue with or without you. MQ, Spheris, MDI, Transcend, Transolutions, Keystrokes, Heartland, TransHealth, OSI, Precyse and Cymed are going to continue to hire and fire and have happy MTs and MTs that do not like working for them. The truly bad ones like XXXX and SS, to name a few, the ones that only have horrible posts are the ones that will fade away.
How funny.. I did the Focus thing too but even they paid 4 cpl for editing, not 2.5, that is too low
but I understand your just trying to get the experience. I havent heard anything about AC but I say go for it.. You dont know until you try and your right ANYTHING is better than Focus.. They are a nightmare for sure.
I was a little troubled by that e-mail, too. The funny thing is, I work
an IC job that supplements my pay, and I got a call just Monday because I had not met my producton goal there. Apparently another vice president decided to earn a check this week...LOL.
No matter how much they jump up and down, you cannot transcribe what is not there. I was more than happy to remind that individual I do not get paid unless I work, so not meeting goal is probably MORE critical to me.
I thought by busting my tush on 2 jobs I would be guaranteed never to run out of work, but both failed me this past holiday. For all the gymnastics, I will be working all weekend this weekend just to have a decent paycheck. Sigh.
Are the Precyse and MQ DQS platforms the same thing? I'm thinking about switching

At first I was thinking that you were being unrealistic, not thinking about taxes, benefits, etc. bu
surprised to find that you are not asking the moon. Let me clarify a few things: Rates charged are not as high as 0.25 per line, but no one that has U.S. employees goes as low as 0.115 or they would not be able to pay their bills. A more realistic range is 0.125-0.165, and that top end is hard to find, most falling at 0.14-0.15 per line.
The rates of pay you propose are very reasonable IF the following is true: These are seasoned MTs who do not need a lot of hand-holding, QA or blanks filled in, unless a very difficult/impossible doctor.
How about a scale based on experience and accuracy of 0.09 - 0.105 per line (acute care), and $1.15-$1.30 per report (radiology)?
The VR one is tough as everyone, MTs and MTSOs and facilities are still feeling their way on this. As an MTSO who was an MT, I feel that VR editing is as difficult to do as regular transcription. I don't think that it should be substantially less pay or charged less as the end product is still the same.
Funny thing here? My company already follows that scale. We should work together, not at odds, to reinforce this industry and bring it back to where it should be, right here in the U.S.A. with a decent paycheck.
Debate is one thing, and posting is one thing,
but this is getting absurd. I think it must be the same person, otherwise multiples who cannot stay on topic?? Why can't you STICK with the subject? The subject of my post was NOT what your cent per line rate was or is - I could care less- and not how much money you made last year, this year, or in your life, but how silly the comment was that your cents per line rate means NOTHING, that its up to you - some fluff like that. That is just so silly. Again, working for the same company, same account, is one going to make more money being paid more per line? OF course! This is so frustrating and really makes me so tired of reading this garbage let alone posting. Its like a nightmare. And also makes me completely believe that the original company must pay peanuts.
good thing it is a temporary thing sm
because people with your attitude don't stay in anything very long anyway. Nobody has to listen to that crap to keep their job.
You don't know me either. you can say old fart all you want (when did 53 get to be old fart....too funny) but at least I am a valuable employee who can get a decent job!
That is really funny
The majority cannot be wrong. Your first post brought on the reactions of many, all saying the same thing. Your first post was rude. It just was. It sounded hateful. No way that 5 different people read it wrong. Funny how you descend upon the poor OP and basically rip her apart and then call the rest of us vultures. So funny. You are not one to be preaching about attitudes and how we should watch them. Talk to the woman in the mirror first.
OMG HOW FUNNY!!!
NM
it's funny that
the packet states no one will get a pay cut but they gave out pay cuts before people trained on DEP as DEP has only a certain pay level, so they were told. I guess this means no pay cuts with this packet. Pretty smarmy, huh??
too funny
nm
I think it is funny that you all
want to say that JACKO and the others you mentioned are the only rudes ones on this board. Look over the posts. Pretty much everyone here is rude. I've never seen anything like it.
that is funny....unfortunately if they were not that way, I don't many of us would have a job-LOL

Too funny. He gets around. nm

Funny
Please, why is it that if someone has been treated badly and there are issues that that person tries to convey to another for their own warning, why is that a grudge? You watch too much TV!
Too funny.
I have two dried up accounts as well. Yet they are still hiring. Go figure.
lol, and for 8 cpl! Now, that's funny.

Funny
Oh what like I'm scared? Yes M.E. are my initials, you better believe it. Saying liar is not slanderous. Especially since this board makes disclaimers. Funny.
How funny!!!
Was it a lady by the name of Phyllis Tate who contacted you? She is always going on cruises. I turned down that company one week after I started working there. That place is so darn screwed up. Do not consider taking a job whatsoever!!!
THAT WAS FUNNY!
So funny!!  Yes, we know how to focus and concentrate and we know how to DROWN out nonessentials of background noise.
Funny....
I sent a resume to them and one of the questions was how much ESL do I do. I told them over 50% and that was why I was leaving my current job. They emailed me back and said based on my ESL answer, I was not a suitable candidate for their company.
lol that was funny

Mac, you are 2 funny. nm

That's funny...
I don't care who you are!
funny
 And I like your name - Mari Wisely Cute !
LOL! That's funny...nm
This has never happened to me, not once. I have taken many tests and aced them and my email inbox was filled with email offers. I have 20 years experience and told them up front what I made/wanted. I think some MTs just can't face the fact that they failed the test.
TOO FUNNY
Oh, please stop with all the nonsense!! Why do you feel compelled to give out these TIPS? So, nonqualified people can give a false, yet professional-appearing resume and then you can test them and waste your time? Are you crazy? At least you can quickly eliminate those - what does it take 1.5 seconds to look and throw out? Is this your biggest job complaint? Why don't you quit complaining about your job - do you really expect to get all perfect resumes!! Hello - anyone home in there?? I thought evaluating a resume was part of a recruiters job - respond to good ones and don't to the bad ones...you act like you want these folks working at Super Wal-Mart to present a nice resume -Now, why would you desire that?
These jobs are posted on the INTERNET - expect some crazy people !!
P.S. I've had to deal w/a lot of recruiters who need some serious help, but I don't feel compelled to give out any suggestions - they would not listen anyway. Its simple when the company/recruiter is ever rude, unprofessional, unorganized, giving false info - I move on. You get a joke of a resume - move on!!
TOO FUNNY !
SAme thing happened to me ! After I resigned from Focus, It took them a good two weeks afterward to acknowledge my notice of resignation. They are sooooo ignorant and unprofessional !
How funny..
I was paid late. Supposed to have been paid Friday and still waiting.
MOST of the time DD works better than waiting for checks to arrive.
Thats is too funny
Sounds like sour grapes to me.
TOO FUNNY!!!!
Can tell its getting late - but Im right there with ya with the Dippity DOO
Now thats funny:)
Damn if you do and damn if you don't. Post something positive and people try to turn it into a negative. LOL>>>
That's really funny!
So, if something gets rave reviews, it can't possibly be any good? Thanks for giving me a chuckle.
As for me, I personally have experience with both companies, and you couldn't drag me back to MQ if you hitched me to a semi!
Very funny
Not ! You're an idiot. I've seen your name just me with your boasting about another company that is soooo crooked beyond belief!!!! Getting jealous because KS is getting more positive attention are we?
that's funny
because I have worked for Priority Transcription for over 5 years and NEVER had a problem getting paid. I have even received bonuses for meeting TAT! Maybe there was a reason you didn't get paid!!!
