in a thread about another MTSO? So full of BS. We're not stupid; just underpaid.

Agree the post(s) are quite obvious. This is not how we write here. SM
This is a fine example of my question: How are editors not having to make major changes to reports coming back from overseas? No matter what anyone is saying, there has to be some major editing. Possibly not so much in regard to medical terminology, but just misuse of proper grammar. This has to be creating a lot of work if you have to edit almost every sentence in a report. But I guess, if the overseas MTs have a doctor dictating who knows our language properly, they get to type verbatim. Just curious how overseas MTs do when they transcribe for an ESL doc from a different country here in the U.S. who is not so efficient at dictating. It has to be a mess.

Your own post verifies other post about MTSO not

the MTSO has a right to post here.
I love the fact that we can post on this forum confidentially. Although we may not think it is professional for an MTSO to come and express their feelings…they are entitled to it. Sometimes people just need to vent whether we agree with it or not. Maybe they have no one else to talk to. I would never bash any company that I have ever worked for other than the *lack of work*. I have worked for very professional companies. I guess I have been lucky. My bosses have been very vocal. If I make an error I get feedback right away. I am an MT and I am very proud of who I work for, as I know if they have a problem with me or my work they would come straight to me about it.
Maybe that is what this MTSO should do. It has to be difficult having someone bash their company. You just need to take the posts lightly. People are going to say things no matter what. You just never know who is posting what, which is the benefit and crappy thing about an anonymous board.
You have people who love to  and people who love to  . Only way for anyone to truly know anything about a company is to try em out for themselves.
THIS IS A POST OF AN MTSO...s/m
an MT would never write this.
I have heard that clients pay up to 18cpl.
When and how did they reduce their pay????
OOPS! SOrry, that post above should say from MTSO not MTSO2! :) nm

Great post! Keeps us all grounded on what the MTSo has to put up with.
As an MT, IC for years, I have never had to rely on anyone but myself and am grateful for that. There will always be a place for me in this field as an IC, as I stick to commitment. Keeping my word is important to me.
I have thought about venturing out and hiring a few MT's to help when my workload gets busy, but after trying it once realized I do not have the patience. Thank goodness for the MTSO who has the patience.
Good luck with your new hires.
As I *said* in my post body, it IS awful that at MTSO cm
would not pay. I agreed with you on that. If you want me to grow some guts, as you say, sorry. Throwing the term demonic around when forewarning someone is just a little unnerving. Perhaps I was just not ready to envision demons and evil first thing in the morning. LOL
As I said before, I do agree with you that this person should definitely be held accountable for her actions. It is sad that our profession has come to this. I hope your friend gets her money back 100 times over and that this MTSO is put out of business as soon as possible.
I learned a lot about MTSO from her post..not a job for me every..I'm definitley a worker bee.
From above post. Oops, meant my MTSO support

See post below about noncompliant MTSO - this pretty much sums up Midwest - nm
.
It's posted right on their website under Tech. Requiremts. Not the first MTSO I've seen post t
,,
that should of been "not sure about"....sorry....
xx
sorry, should be "not" only

to "not a sheep"
AMEN SISTER! You sure can tell who is the butt-kisser on this board.. because most of the posts are agreeable to each other's except hers, the MT that says she is NOT a QA person or the Manager. You are right, that newsletter was ridiculous, it sounded like a kid about 14 who went on he first trip alone! After all, when the present QA person didn't get the job, wasn't she so upset she was "going on strike"... LOL...and to that person who talked about MTs being sued, cite me a case and I will reasearch it! Actually, what about the docs that dictate the wrong medications on the wrong patient? Is that the MT's fault? I THINK NOT.
More like "NOT NOWING" how
:{
?? If she's a recruiter only, how can she "not pay?"
Also, I learned a few years ago that there are some individual recruiters who recruit for several different MT companies.
I just don't understand what this post is about. Are you saying All Type doesn't pay?? How can a recruiter not pay? Confusing.
What's "not fair" about PTO?
There is nothing that mandates how much or how little PTO you are given. Fair sounds like an entitlement mentality. (I am an IC/SE and have no PTO but so what? I think that is perfectly fair. I knew the terms of my employmentment when I signed the contract.) Too much what's in it for me, not enough what can I do for the company. Just saying, that's all.
Why didn't you just write down "Not enough." nm
:}
upstateMT, what do you mean, they are "not registered in NY" - sm
I don't understand your post. Do you mean that this particular company will not hire people living in NY state?
What part of upstate are you from? :)
"Not very good" is an understatement.
nm
What it means: "Not enough US MT's who want to work
Reading between-the-lines:
'--- which is exactly what we planned when we dropped US MT pay, so we'd have an *excuse* to choose offshore first, US workers second.'
That eScription ad sure goes against 'Truth-in-advertising', doesn't it?
Also, for "not my experience" poster.
You mentioned in your post, I've seen damned little willingness on the part of many MTs to be flexible about their shifts or workdays. Everyone wants to work 9-5, M-F. This, even while they complain about the line rate when most companies offer rather handsome differentials for working evenings and nights.
If you used to make 14 cpl working Monday through Friday, 9-5, how willing would YOU be to work until 11 p.m., the only time to spend with your kids when they get home from school, for a meager quarter or half cent increase in line pay? Even with these handsome differentials (what a joke) MTSOs are still only paying 8.5, 9, or 10 cpl! And you whine that the MTs aren't professional because they don't want to give up their lives for that...compared to the 14 cpl or more they used to get??? Sure the doctors still dictate over the weekends and nurses still handle care over the weekend, but they are paid quite a handsome salary. If you want dedication, skill, and experience from domestic MTs, PAY FOR IT!! Don't whine that American MTs aren't out there.
Delete extra "not", too early! nm

Meant to say "not the poster you were talking to" NM
xxx
Guess "not funny" is management! nm
nm
"not their problem" -- you signed the contract ....
seriously, they know that a significant number of new hires (particularly when the experience required is low) are not going to work out ... they need a constant supply of warm bodies to ensure the work get done ... Welcome to labor relations USA-style. There is no good-faith social contract. More and more companies see their primary purpose in existence as maximizing profits. Keeping their clients, if not happy, mollified, so they don't leave is job #2. We may not even be in the top #5 concerns
Oops...meant to say "not acceptable"
:}
Can you say, "not an authorized representative", boys and girls?
NM
Must not be too obvious..
Listen, so you have had a great time at KS. I am happy for you. I am not saying that you are not telling the truth. However, you are telling me that everything I say is not true. How can you know this? And because you have a good experience with KS, you are assuming that I must just be some loser MT who cannot hold a job. I must be lying because you have never had any problems with KS. How can you know this?
In reality, I am a very good MT. I am a great employee. I have been and always will be. I don't take off work, I work OT most days. I do 20,000 lines per pay period and have a 99 percent accuracy score at my company. I am also NOT a liar.
The bad goes with the good. If someone asks a question about KS with regards to their business practices, they want an overall idea of how it really is. So, the truth has to be told. That is WHY they are asking. Also, there are many MTs who are of the same opinion of KS and there is a reason behind that. It would be because we have all had the same issues there. Are some people happy there?? Sure. No one says they don't have happy MTs. But my experience, and that of other MTs, cannot be overlooked on the assumption that we are all just bad MTs.
oh yes they do and it's obvious
I can tell who posts here a lot of times.
Your too obvious M.S. try something else!
IT'S OBVIOUS THAT....SM
After all the overhiring, it's obvious that they're slowly but surely trying to phase out straight-typing MTs.
This is so obvious.......LOL
Obviously you work as a recruiter or management.
Seems obvious to me
If you can take the chance the new job won't work out, I would not trust the current job to be straight, or fair, in the future.
That said, you should at least *ask* your supervisor point blank did he/she know it was a software issue? Did QA?
If NO one (outside upper management) knew, then you have to consider this, so you need to ask.
Isn't it obvious?
I would think it's all just a convoluted ploy to: A) Pat themselves on the back for their spectacular prank; B) Avoid paying unemployment benefits. If they cut your pay that much, you can potentially receive UI benefits. If they fire you without cause (based on your report of prior good employee status), you can receive UI benefits. But if you quit, you get nadda/zip/zilch. They get a good laugh at screwing you out of your benefits and it doesn't cost them a dime.
It is obvious that you were not there in 2002 - because you would know
who I am, but it is apparent that you do not. So I suggest, that unless you want a face to face confrontation with a legal representative, you need to back off. Thank you.
Obvious management
Happy. Come on. People run for the hills if they have a brain from this company. No benefits. Take spaces and do not tell you, so they can make payroll probably since pays have finally been on time for a change. You are absolutely incorrect. Do not lie on this board. It is unfair to MTs who need a good job.
It's pretty obvious this is
if so, they should spend this much time and energy fixing the problems with the company...
LOL That's what I was thinking. WAY too obvious!
LOL!
The "sticky" is just that. Really. I know the obvious.
research that I had done on these forums, keeping logs of specifics I was looking for in companies. An awful lot of MTs do this exact thing, working off of just a few sites. That is how important our careers are to us. We are not naive enough to read 1 thread of someone singing praises. Basically, its the MQ MTs. Lots of us knew years ago where things were headed, yet we were professionals who had no need to panic at that point, but rather did our research and accepted positions at companies based on intelligent decisions based on long-term gathered data. However, if the data gathered over a year or an hour is garbage, then so much for the informed decision. Its like an informed consent for an operation - we made our decisions based on what was presented to us by MTSOs as well as employees. However, some of the MTSOs lied and, as we found later, pose as the MTs themselves on internet forums to further their lies. Of course we all see the sticky note, and of course we all try to be wise and cautious, yet you have to trust somewhere. Otherwise, we'd all be paralyzed with indecision. I hate to base my life choices on lies. Don't you?
This might be stating the obvious but...
Make sure you make the corrections and save the revised document!
I updated my resume and saved it, but when I went to send it out realized I had not updated my email address. I updated it on the resume I was sending out at that particular moment, but forgot to change it and save it in Word. After I had to correct it 3-4 times as I went to send it, I FINALLY remembered to go into the actual document, make the change and save it.
Sometimes I really wonder how I function in day to day life, I'm such a scatterbrain, lol!!!
yep. quite obvious..but yu who childish..not her.nm
nm
Sooo obvious..
It's so obvious that these last few replies were by the company/employees themselves in efforts to dismiss what is going on. MTs don't snooze on this one! Troll.. that is funny
Yes Ms Obvious, and I have secondaries
Not everyone types every specialty you know.
But surely, I have sat on my rear for the last month and it has never occurred to me to get another backup account (I already have 4!)! Maybe if I do a raindance, or one of my equally miserable teammates quit, the gods will provide me with enough work.
Oh, please, tell me to flex - that hasn't occurred to me either! DUH! You think I'm a tard, I see.
An obvious troll
put this clown who laughs at other's misery on *ignore.* Let LMAO entertain/babysit him/herself.
It's very obvious to me who it is--all the secrecy and attitude....nm
nm
It's obvious I don't base my choices
by this board; however, the negative things that have been stated have been true. Guess I should have taken the hint the first 3 times in regards to getting the hiring process completed. Since they could not follow through with that, don't know what made me think they could follow through with anything else!
Pretty obvious there is only one rah-rah person for OSi and (sm)
she is doing that company some major harm. I think it is possible that she is on everyone's last friggin nerve!
I work for a great company, but if I would be put in a position where I would need to find employment elsewhere, OSi would be one of the companies that I would stay clear of. There must be some crazy stuff going on there.
It is so obvious you are the same poster each time.

I looked in the most obvious place
I looked in the job seeker's board on this site. However, for the life of me, I don't remember seeing the job I ended up accepting there, and I can't remember exactly where I did see it. Very weird. But I just read all the paperwork for it, and I'm liking what I see still!
