After reading your posts, sounds
to me as though you have the problem. If OP irritates you so much, why do you keep responding to her?
from the posts I am reading it sounds sm
like we all worked on the same account. I wonder if the account itself has anything to do with all of this.
Personally, I don't know why anyone would make this stuff up. I know I sure am not.
I've been reading these posts and

"United States of China" roflmao!!! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!
Hilarious! Standing O!!!
after reading many posts sm
on this board, it seems to be the ole bait and switch routine that these companies are pulling. I feel your frustration.
I have been reading ALL of these posts--sm
concerning KS, and I have seen one consistent trend. It is mostly just ONE person posting negatively about KS and that one person, from her own posts, admits that she could not cut the mustard with KS. Sounds very much like sour grapes to me..but then, that is just my opinion. Ignore her. She is just looking to cause strife.
In reading some of their posts...
It seems that people have been abandoning jobs because they are either unfamiliar with those reports or don't like the dictator, etc., and an E-mail went out that they are monitoring the system and watching for people who commit this company no- no. If caught, big time trouble lies ahead. This comes from a recent E-mail from management. Too many people are doing this, and they are finally cracking down. I am assuming this is what the poster is referring to.
After reading most of the posts
below about MQ, I would just like to say that Katie is an exception at MQ. I have been there for quite some time and I'd have to agree with most of what mtroadie said in her original post to Katie. Things are not straight across the board at this company. Many, myself included, were never given the opportunity not to do ASR. Most of us don't make top dollar and are just struggling to get by. Katie should consider herself very lucky, but I doubt she will as she seems to enjoy flaunting her exceptions to others when I'm sure she's well aware of the differences. Shame on her for not telling you the truth!!!
What I am also reading in her posts sm
is that SHE needs the externship to be online. I don't think the school is requiring that. I don't know of any companies that even offer an externship. She would have an easier time getting one from a local small service.
It may be that she has a situation, like a job during the day or her children (if she has any) that prevents her from going to an office to complete the externship, but I would think that if it's required to graduate she has known that from the time she began the program. If it were me, I certainly would have been scouting this out long before this to see what my options were and if I had to go into an office to complete it, I'd have ample time to make whatever arrangements were needed to complete it.
After reading all the posts here and above seems like
this company may just have a dishonest streak. I would say be careful and take another look at your IC job...Good luck to you!
LOL - In reading the old posts it seems
Sorry if I don't share your enthusiasm but you said the same thing last time and the invoice never arrived, nor did the direct deposit. How much do they pay you to field the questions? The transcription director (who by the way I bet is about 12 years old judging by her vocabulary) might consider worrying about payroll and not sending out cute pictures and email forwards. I agree with the other poster - too much of this and is very unprofessional. 
Just reading through posts again and sm
your post really struck me as funny!
First of all I am not an MTSO, never have been and never wanted to be. Closest I ever came to that was hiring MTs in my area for MQ years ago, while working from home.
What strikes me funny in your post is that part about someone making you work Christmas, every-other-weekend even if you kid has a soccer game!
I don't know how old you are but in the working world you don't always get to take off when you want to. Moms who work can't have it all! Yes you can take time off for your kids and if you have a job you put in for the time off in advance.
Are you the type of employee that calls at the last minute and says you can't work because your kid has a soccer game or a dentist appointment or a doctors appointment or whatever?
Whatever happened to putting in for time-off in advance unless it was an emergency. I use to deal with MTs like you always wanting to take time off at the very last minute, never taking their jobs seriously.
Any job that you have MT or otherwise, is going to require that you request time off well in advance!
You just gave yourself and your work ethic away Ms. Rachel Rethinking MT!
The entitlement society just gets better and better!
After reading all the posts about MQ and no work,
nationals. Almost every single large national that I know of has benefits tied to production and a clause in their contract that they cannot be held accountable if there is no work. Doesn't it make it convenient for them not to have to pay insurance benefits if THEY overhire and there is consistently not enough work to go around? This is the same thing that happened at Transcend. After all, how much does it really cost the company to overhire when all they have to do is supply the computers, which are a business expense write-off anyway?
Have you been reading posts on TT? The insurance

MTSOs reading posts here
To are you surprised, who asked ***edited by Moderator*** why she put her real name here. I've seen this same poster use numerous names here, which doesn't matter to me, but obviously ***edited by Moderator*** isn't her real name. I'm sure she's more intelligent than to attach her real name when writing a msg of this nature. I have no idea what companies read these posts, but I prefer that they do. Maybe, just maybe, they'll realize some of the things that matter to us. But I certainly don't take that thought to the bank!
Please do not list anyone's name in your post.
Am I reading your posts wrong...
are you looking for a company who pays for down time hoping that you will have down time and not have to transcribe for 8 hours???
I do work for Axolotl and they pay more per hour for training and down time than any other company I have run across.
Also, just as an aside here, my experience with Axolotl has been very good all around. I have not had any supervisor or manager or QA be anything but professional, kind, helpful. That is my experience.
Also, some companies (not sure if Axolotl is one or not) will hire MTs and get them started BEFORE a new account starts. Yes, work dries up for everyone for awhile but after the new account starts everyone fits into their respective spots and there is plenty of work to go around for all. Some companies just work like that. Again, that is my own personal experience.
Actually I enjoy reading most posts
Even if they are repetitive. That only reinforces one's opinion. Accept or not. Since I did not see the prior posts, I actually thought the post would be informative and there would be useful feedback. That is what this board should be about, and most of the time it is. Then you always get the one or two people who have to be rude, nasty, demanding, negative critism. Nothing useful. I think it probably makes them feel better about themselves. My point was, even if she was annoyed by the post - other people might not be. So many topics are actually repetitive here. If the topic was old or annoying to her, then why participate in the post at all? What was the purpose of being so ugly? I don't even recall the post being addressed to her.
reading some of these posts I have one word...
sadistic. There are too many sadistic people (too many women) in this world. What causes women to be that way toward others? You are cold-hearted and sadistic when you try to break the back of your sisters. I believe this profession has taken a nosedive due to bad attitudes and women being spiteful and rotten to each other. My opinion from my own personal experience...
Okay, MTs: I've been reading some very
and I hope that more than just a few of you plan to use your gift of the written word for more than just posting on this forum. I hope you're going to take this latest MT sell-out story to a broader media to get the word out on what is happening. Yes, most people don't care what's happening in the MT world. But what's happening here can happen, WILL happen, and already IS happening in other sectors of the American job market. Are we Americans going to just lie back and let these VAMPIRES bleed us dry, or are we going to take a stand to stop the hemorrhage of American work to foreign shores? We need to make our voices heard, ladies and gentlemen. 
I see there is an ad on MT Jobs for MDI Maryland and I was reading the posts below about overhiring
on the accounts. Is this a situation that seems to be getting worse on all accounts. I was interested in talking with the lady but not if there is no work. I have that problem now and I dont need it again. Seems like that is the new thing with MT companies to see who can have the shortest turnaround time. Are MDI Maryland accounts loaded with ESLs or decent accounts.
I left there several years ago, but from reading recent posts, SM
it seems to me that if it's the MTs who have been there for a couple of years or more that are are liking it fine there and sing the praises, and that it is the new hires or recently hired people who don't like it and don't seem to get work or at least get bounced around. Just an observation from what I've read. HTH.
Reading some of these posts, I see management is out in full force
trying to run damage control. No MT who just got her pay cut is going to say, yay, who cares if I'm going to be making less money, this great company is still paying slightly more than some of those fly-by-night companies, and I luv my new paycut....
Sounds to me you've
been scammed, or either your trainer is just taking her time while pulling you around the nose, or they have decided against hiring you and are too lazy to tell you. I have never been done this way and hope I never will be. If I were you I would send an email saying you are sending the footpedal back and to forget it if you're too busy to train me. If no training w/in two days after that, actually send it back.
Sure sounds like we might've been

I hate to say it, but it sounds like you've been

Sounds like you've got the documentation to
If nothing else, it might be enteraining making them squirm a bit. Hee.
You''ve got to be kidding. It sounds like they are looking for some suckers
to do a free month of work. That is so ridiculous. You just know at the end of the end they are going to tell you after all that work that it didn't pass because you didn't put a comma where it needed to be etc.. and how are you going to dispute any of it or get paid. There is no way in ###$#$# that I would work for a place like that. Sounds like a bad scam of some sort.
Yes, I've read several posts about SS
and will beware. Thanks. I've learned a lot just by reading all the posts here.
I've seen in-house job posts.
I would submit your resume to your local hospitals and call to check for open positions frequently. Good luck!
I've read the old posts
before I accepted a position with them and I am glad I ignored them. I find my line rate to be very fair compared to what I have seen advertised for other companies, no it isn't the 14 cpl that I used to get on my own but who would expect that now anyway :). I have never had any problems with them. Pay has always been on time, the QA and management are always quick to answer any questions I have and they leave you alone during the day. IM is only used for quick problems and I can count on 1 hand how many times they have IM'd me, other than my first 2 days to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. To each their own though, everyone will not be pleased with the same companies.
I know there are other posts, I've read them...sm
I'm strictly looking for people with good experiences with DSG, not problems with them. I know there are some MTs who work there who are happy, a friend of mine knows someone who loves this company, so it can't be all bad. Those are the people I'm asking to hear from. Thanks anyway:)
I've always heard if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. n/m

Thanks for your posts. I've been in the plan for several years...sm
So I am very curious about how this pans out. I'm 100% vested and never NOTICED anything odd, but after this long...i probably wouldn't. We've also changed carries several times (prudential, metlife, etc.), I think 4 times since I've been with them, so I'm surprised there haven't been more errors. Or maybe there have been...how would we know?
well I've read all your posts and responses and
no one has been ugly or attacked you at all
They've been around for years and the posts are always negative.
s
I've been following your posts for a couple of months now
and I advised you long ago this was not a reliable service - unless I am mistaken - and I could be. And my biggest question - are you absolutely positive you will get insurance with them? Last time I knew they hired ICs only. Truthfully, I would go for the unemployment and find another job with another service.
I've always enjoyed your posts fatcat
If you were cooking, I'd certainly come to eat! I'm sorry to hear that it's so hard right now. I agree, you have always been the MDI diplomat, always had great things to say about the company, defended their honor over and over. I've been reading this board for years and you are one that I've always taken the time to read, even when it didn't especially relate to anything I needed to know personally.
I hope things start looking up, for you, for all of us.
I've recently seen posts that mention
salary vanish shortly after they're posted by the moderators. Maybe people think it's not worth the effort to complain about these companies when the moderators remove them.
To look at this board anymore you would think that everything is rosy. Well, it sure isn't. Depending when you look at this board, you would think no one has commented about the 5 and 6 cents a line that some of these companies are posting. They've commented plenty. But their comments vanish as if they never existed.
Sounds like several places I've been with! They can tweak the distribution of work any way they
s
I've had to submit mine for a lot of transcriptions jobs. Sounds okay to me. nm
If you've read the recent posts about them, how could you even think of applying? nm

Please search the last 2 pgs. Plenty of neg. posts recently unless they've been deleted. nm

so true. My sister had c.diff last year - not a pretty site.
ROFLMAO! -sm
You've got that right! Tension is the name of the game. 
Thank YOU. I'm still roflmao! while(sm)
the sweat rolls down my brow...ahahah
ROFLMAO
You just made my day with your post...Fatcat is nothing more than a very miserable person with nothing better to do than flame other posters, which is why I didn't bother responding to her negativity anymore on my post about the Transam thing. You know, I had an ex who was the same way, right about everything. Can't stand people like that. After so many years of that, divorce followed. LOL 
ROFLMAO, I'm leaving MQ, sorry!
I should have made that perfectly clear from the beginning.
Yes, MQ allows PT flex w/ low count per p/p and a 401K (that they used to match); however, I'm not going to work for KUMAR!!!
Any other companies?
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! NO WAY!! The hospital PAID for it!!!! OMG!!
