You're right. DSG made me absolutely miserable. I finally quit. The lack of organization, the constant changing of the specs for each account, the constant shuffling of which accounts you worked on, now keep a log of all cc's sent per report and send it to operations each day, plus the fluctuations of work available just got to be crazy.
I think this had been a very good company and it's sad that something has gone terribly wrong. They need to step back and look at their management style and their growth, and reassess what's going on. They can't keep experienced MTs or QA people, they are now loaded with very inexperienced MTs. They are in deep waters and need to take notice.
Any latest news on Davis Transcription?
They tried to rehire me back last month and I have not heard a word from them. Heard they got bought out by another company which does not surprise me at all. Any latest news on this crazy company?
No news is good news for me. I check my audited reports all the time
If I need to talk with one of them, I call or IM them. But, no, I have learned that if I am doing a good job, they leave you alone to do your work. They are not in any way a company that micromanages as long as you do what you are supposed to. If you give them a reason to think you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing, they will keep an eye out on your work, etc.
I thought no news is good news, too. Then got email about

No news is good news! If there's a problem, they'll

I guess no news is good news! :-)
Thanks anyway!
If no news is good news why is a person

I agree - no news is good news - sm
They are busy making sure you have work and want you to stay productive and busy. What is there to talk about? I personally like being left alone to do my work. As long as you get a check and the work keeps flowing, just do your thing! 
Is this news should have been labeled NEWS ALERT ...
This is breathtaking information and everyone who works at TT or is considering has the right to know. It will be buried with a title like is this news? It seems as if you are responding to the first poster's complaint of no work.
Lawsuit
I received the notice via the State of Texas and other than the fact that I am going to have to hire an attorney it would actually be funny as I have never said anything about them that wasn't true and they cannot prove otherwise. I will be seeing my attorney on Monday and you can bet there's going to be a lawsuit going in their direction too  The monikers of the other 5 are noted in my citation but I won't post them, at least until I speak with my attorney.
Lawsuit
Yes I got the citation from the court. The complaint is for Defamation and Libel for posting on this board!!!!!! Of which I might add, I am NOT guilty.
Lawsuit
I just want to thank everyone for their support. I think I should not discuss this farther at this time. I'm sure everyone will follow the case as it is a matter of public record and I will be sure to let you know the outcome.
They will when a lawsuit results from it and
In their wallets. Publicize the name of the hospital SOMEHOW, because I personally would NEVER go to be treated in an institution run by those kinds of physicians.
VR is a lawsuit going somewhere to happen! And.... (sm)
you better believe I request a copy of every report generated whenever I visit a doctor. Heaven help them if I find a mistake-ridden report transcribed by VR. I hope the people falling for the VR joke have DEEEEP pockets!
MEDQUIST LAWSUIT
I just recently heard about the Medquist lawsuit and settlement regarding inaccurate line counts. I'm not a MedQuist employee, but was wondering - what are your thoughts on AHDI receiving the million dollars instead of it not being dispersed back to the MTs?
RE: Gourdpainter and TT lawsuit,...sm
Do you think you could go to work at ANY company and continually bash them, either online or to other employees and NOT get fired or sued. There is such a thing as libel and defamation, and that has nothing to do with Freedom of Speech. I have gone through the archives and am shocked at the things people say on here about the companies they STILL WORK FOR. I cannot imagine going to work for a company and to continuously badmouth them and to be able to keep my job!!! Someone else said on here in another post I read about not having to use your real name or be accountable for what you write on here and that is only to true, which is why I use my name!!! I have nothing to hide. If what you say is true, then you should be able to show your identity! You cannot knowingly lie or defame a company ANYWHERE, especially where it could potentially poison the pool of current or potential employees. If you are SOOO unhappy with the way things are where you work QUIT!!!! I have been through the ups and downs on work flow with Transtech too, but my intelligence tells me this happens everywhere! There was no change in payroll company since I have been here, almost a year, or if there was I had NO PROBLEMS and did not even notice. I had no rush to get my paperwork in or mistakes in my paycheck and whomever implied those things about TransTech's questionable payroll practices, deserves to be sued. You cannot say those kind of things about a company, especially when to my knowledge they are UNTRUE. That is defamation of character and NOT Freedom of Speech. They are owned by a parent company and THAT company does our payroll NOT TRansTEch themselves. Everyone really needs to do their homework on this sort of thing. This is EXACTLY what people get sued over and as well they should!!! There is a difference in stating you were unhappy, or if you did not get paid on time or not at all, but to continue to work somewhere, and then get on here and CONTINUOUSLY bash them, is just plain WRONG!! There are plenty more companies out there... find another one to work for if you are that unhappy!!. Again, I am NOT management and I have had problems that I needed to work out with them, but that is exactly what I did WORKED IT OUT WITH THEM! This is a company just as if you were working in an office, and there is protocol when working in a business environment that many of you just do not get! For those of you that do, this is obviously not meant for you!!! For those this does not pertain to, I know you will not be offended by this. If you are offended by this, this is obviously meant for you. Have a great day!
Believe me, filing this lawsuit sm
has damaged their reputation FAR more than whatever was said in the post that prompted it.
Had they just left things as they were, it had already blown over. Now, they have actually seen to it that anyone who wants to work for a company with any decency will stay far, far away.
DISCLAIMER: ALL CONTENT IN THIS POST IS MY OPINION ONLY, I AM AN MT AND HAVE NOTHING YOU CAN TAKE FROM ME.
Sounds like a lawsuit to me.
Find out how the company reported this liability (PTO owed) and the related salary expense on their income taxes.
Usually, companies work on an accrual basis - meaning that an expense is recognized at the time that it is incurred (and hence, at that COST). I'm betting Acusis reported the PTO expenses at the rates that were being paid at that time...and if so, there's two issues here. One is that the expense they have been reporting will have to be adjusted downward and they will have to go back and pay more income tax on the profit that will therefore be increased.
The other is that the Department of Labor will land all over them like a ton of bricks. As someone who has been in the middle of a DOL audit, I can assure the management of Acusis that it is something they should avoid at any cost.
Get those $$ out of your eyes! No lawsuit here!
No defamation of character, TT Management! It's all public knowledge. That's right. In the good state of Texas, one can look up this case and read the whole RIDICULOUS lawsuit. Looks like something that would come out of that state! Like our brilliant ex-Prez!
Lawsuit for a public board? Who are you going to sue? nm
Grow up
The problem with something like this is that anyone can file a lawsuit. It does not mean someone is
My ex filed 15 lawsuits against me due to bitterness. All were dropped after my lawyer went to court a hundred times, but people saw them in the paper and labeled me as a child abuser, deadbeat and crazy person for a while before it was all cleared up.
Just because a lawsuit is filed, does not make it true.
No more Keystrokes lawsuit topics. (sm)
Take your arguments to email as you cannot leave out personal attacks toward others and toward the board.

I would advise anyone doubting the validity of the lawsuit
To go back into the archives, at least 6-10 weeks, and check out GPs posts regarding why the work was low at TT and its direct correlation to Dictaphone. While this may not on the surface appear slanderous, it was presented as being fact, not opinion. If her assumptions about TT and Dictaphone were incorrect, and TT can prove this, it is indeed libel. I don't know GP and I enjoy her posts. I'm just a realist/fatalist and see things in black and white most of the time. I'd say it about myself had I left myself wide open and vulnerable.
As for the the unnamed 'Jane Does,' perhaps one of those is that person who types in all caps and says TT 'steals' work from their MTs, 'frauds' the line counts, etc. IMHO, that IS libelous and quite damaging to a company's reputation. What scares off an MT more than the thought of being cheated on their lines or having the good dictators' reports 'cherry picked' by the leads, leaving them with the dung no one else wants?
I'm sure I'll be flamed for my opinions, and frankly I don't care. Libel is what it is; presenting something as fact when it is not fact, and if the person/entity can prove otherwise, they most assuredly have a very good lawsuit.
I am very sorry GP is going through this and I wish her well; however, I cannot condemn TT for taking legal action if she was posting erroneous information as first-hand knowledge of fact.
Freedom of speech is one thing; passing on inaccurate information as fact is an entirely different ballgame.
Or maybe to protect from lawsuit-happy MTSOs, we
are supposed to phrase everything with 'in my opinion', 'crazy rumor has it', 'i wonder if', 'possibly', etc.... Guess we just have to phrase everything with code words to protect ourselves to even be able to share info.
'Crazy rumor has it X company didn't pay me for the last month, possibly, in my opinion...' LOL.
It is only a matter of time. VR is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Good example. Thank you for your honest input.
We need to CALL THE FACILITIES and let them know what is going on! OR Class Action Lawsuit
...we need to all go out on strike! If we ALL stopped working tomorrow, called the facilities and let them know why, where would WebmedX be?
Sometimes.....NO news is Good news. sm
Maybe you are doing just fine and everything is correct. Maybe they do no feel you need feedback because your quality is excellent!!
Good thought for the day :-) !!
good news and bad news ----
Good - plenty of work, just landed a new acct.
Bad - Check posts from a few weeks back. Out of the blue, everyone got a huge pay cut.
What is the latest on OSi?
What's the latest at SS?
Anyone hear or know what's going on at SoftScript? I've been hearing a lot of rumors (or facts, perhaps!). Fill us in....
u mean the latest downfall in mgt or
do tell
OMG just saw the latest newsletter - LOL!
LOL LOL
Latest on Amphion?
Hi. I'm thinking of applying there. What is the latest on this company? Do they have a high turnover rate or do they seem to keep employees? Are you switched around on accounts much? Do they make you pay for your computer? How picky are they about keeping schedules? What is their platform like? Any info would be appreciated -- don't want to waste my time if they are a bad company.
What is the latest with Spheris?
Anybody happy, not happy? Do they offer statutory?
According to their latest post (elsewhere) she is
She recruits. It's not her fault they cannot keep people. Their platform stinks and alot of look-ups are required. She's got a great job. Half the time she's never in the office! lol
Transolutions latest?
Are there happy campers at Transolutions?
I also tried it. Even bought the latest..sm
version they claimed to be so much better etc. I tried it and it was a complete waste of time and money. It does not work like they say and I spent a considerable amount of time with it. IT is the way to go. Much more worth it and so much easier.
latest TSI info is just another lie
I'm posting on this board and will also post on the main board. But those of you who have been ripped off by Jayne Mattingly from TSI (Illinois) may have received an email stating she would send us the contact info of her 'partner' who 'seized' the acct. Well, don't bother calling the phone number of the 'partner' as it has been disconnected. Weird huh. Also, it's not a partner..its her attorney who is just going to fool around some more and never pay us. You could email her and ask for the correct one, but good luck with that. I saw a post about contacting the attorney general (yeah, apparently other people dont get paid) and I plan on looking into that more and will let you know what i find out. Also, if you are interested the local newspaper is Herald and Review. Might be an interesting story for them....would love to read the story Local Businesswoman Pockets $1,000s from a Government Contract and Never Paid the People Doing the Work I sent a quick note...would probably help if others did.
sorry, but what I see is *latest messages* ,,,sm
not *related messages*, unless yours is showing something different than mine.
Latest on Cardioscribes
I didn't see anything particularly recent in the archives on Cardioscribes and wondered if any current or recent employees would care to share any info about how things are there. Are most accounts straight typing or VR? On the overall, how are the dictators and the audio quality? Is the pay decent and on time?
Any info anyone would care to share would be greatly appreciated. Email privately if you prefer.
TIA!!!
MDI's latest propaganda
Did anyone else see the latest missive from Dorothy? It is kind of a rah-rah piece where she is going to have another conference call next week where we can hear the confidence in her voice (yeah, I would be confident, too, if I had just sold my company for 16 mil) and how we are all committed to excellence in our DNA! Wow. Perhaps if MDI folds, their officers can all get jobs writing advertising slogans on Madison Avenue. Meanwhile, no answers to our practical questions.......
Oh, Gawd, if you could only see the latest newsletter
OSI has been the subject of so much discussion, it just does not get any better. LOL LOL
It is actually a joy to work at OSi because it is so ridiculous that there is never a dull moment. I can't believe that she would have the nerve to post another stupid travelog.
$12.50/hr. is their latest fabulous pay scheme.
Whats the latest on this company?
I had heard at one time they were a great company to work for, are they still maintaining that status?
Webmedx-Latest info?
Any recent info on how they are to work for now? Looking for steady workflow (understand seasonal slumps), is the insurance good/affordable, and what kind of time off do you get? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
Latest excuse about OSI offshoring
Offshore labor is used only for accounts that have insisted that we provide an offshore solution to their transcription needs.
No sane MT would ever believe that a hospital has insisted on offshore MTs. They may have asked for lower rates and in order to land the account OSi itself insisted on using offshore labor.
I have known people who worked for the facilities where work is offshored and THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT IS OFFSHORED.
Oops, meant latest nm
Need latest info on SoftScript.
Need info on working conditions, platform, pay, benes, etc. TIA
Download the latest version of
Adobe Reader 9.1, it's free.
If the questionnaire you have to fill out, is given by the company, ask them what's wrong.
What's the latest on Axolotl? Any info appreciated!
nm
Focus Infomatics - Latest word on them?
Is there plenty of work? Is it more VR with MT typing the whole report and getting paid at that rate?
