Maybe you did not do enough that they would know that you stopped OR maybe they were glad to see you
and you saved them the time of terminating you. HA!
I believe they have stopped hiring PT, only FT

I stopped speaking out because SM
in the past, they had cheerleaders who came to this board who would attack people who gave true information regarding the company. It may look like the archives have little information and the reason they do is because a lot of the posts about DR have been deleted because the threads degenerated into name-calling.
The same people who attacked still work for the company (management), so I wouldn't bet that things have changed there.
Me too. I have stopped even considering anywhere else. I am here until retirement.
And that is such a stress-free thing, never to have to retrain for a new company again!
So what stopped you from speaking SM
to your supervisor before? Are you saying that you've been sitting there feeling bad about your financial situation all this time and just today decided to call and DO something about it?
I think maybe the Grinchy bully (and I am not serious when I say that, I feel he/she was truly helping you) motivated you to take some action.
I stopped about a year ago and
Don't miss it one bit and making more money - including benefits, PAID vacation, no work on weekends and holidays, etc. I'm 52 years old and couldn't be happier with deciding to get out. I still visit this board and the same things are being said about this profession that was said 10+ years ago. This field will NEVER change.....so I did.
I had the same problem with them. I stopped working for them as well. They
kept forgetting to pay me for spaces. At first, I was told that they did not pay for spaces, but I had an email stating that she did pay for spaces; so, I copied the email to them and got a check for the difference. Each paycheck was incorrect and I kept having to call them to get them to correct it. Seach the archives. I am not the only one this happened to. After I stopped working for them, It took them 6 months to send me my last paycheck. 
I can see your point but I stopped beig a
A company I worked for once sent out an email from the OWNER asking all of us loyal to her (cough, spew) would keep a list of screen names of people with bad attitudes so they would be sure to not hire them or to fire them if they were already working for that company. I turned notice that day and went to a professional MTSO.
They must have stopped doing so. I worked there as an IC for a while in the past.
xx
I, for one, am glad those emails stopped:-)
They were constantly interrupting my work and really made no difference to me. I work my shift and I can tell by the times of the jobs if we're on schedule or not. Of course, I'm radiology and for some reason I was also getting acute care updates, so double whammy.
Why has Amphion overtime been stopped?
I was thinking of applying with them mainly because of that. Like the person asked below has the overtime policy changed or are they just caught up?
they stopped due to the banking crisis
oct/nov
I worked for a company that stopped DD as JLG did. They
went belly up a short time later. The company was local to JLG. I didn't buy the bank instability crap that was being posted about JLG. I personally don't know any details, but having been through a similar situation I would be VERY concerned.
I agree 100%, I stopped coming to this
board for a long time because of it and I hesitate to ask a question or make a comment because you never know who will blast you, so
Thank You!!
I stopped thinking of this as a profession
and now think of it as a job. Fortunately, in the days of when MTs were of value and were paid accordingly, I paid off my house and don't have that hanging over my head. If I had not, being single, I would not be able to pay my house payment today. No pay raise for so many years I can't remember and now seeing post after post about 7 cents per 65 character line and people taking these jobs, it will be more like community service.
I am making sure I put some money away each payday because when that day comes, I'm going to apply at Target or the local Goodwill. I really do mean that. I have worked for 26 years now doing this. I have a dozen years left to work before I can retire.
We were not overpaid when we were making money. We were paid accordingly.
As far as recommending this line of work to someone, that is something I never would do.

Thought so, I stopped testing! sm
I never finished all the testing and thought it was ridiculous! I felt exactly like you are feeling.
I have been there 5 years. What changed? They stopped catering to sm
employees who walked all over them and started recognizing those of us that do a good job. They took away ICs and made people accountable for their commitments. They added benefits, added direct deposit, got a bigger office, added more staff in the office, and continued to grow.
I honestly believe that it was a very few people who were saying the negative comments but they were loud and had time on their hands.
They then moved to another company and decided to bash them, then another company and bash them, and so on. There are some people that never are happy and those that are let go tend to be the nasty ones on the boards.
The only problem I ever had was one check 4 years ago but direct deposit solved all that.
I think the owner let go a little where needed and stopped taking it all so personally. She is a tough one now but still nice, if that makes sense, just doesn't take cr*p from everyone.
I am on there too. I stopped posting much anymore because the bashers. sm
We were accused by nasty posters that we air dirty laundry on here. Other times, we are too cheerful. Other times, we must be management. Because of that, I tend not to post. Should we ask them to get a yahoo board or something? How about the intranet? Does that have a board?
I hope your friend has stopped working for her.
I just stopped reading it. I scan and read what is useful to me. (nm)

Transcription Matchmaker stopped working w/ Cbay
Heard same feedback from other MTs.
I use to work there, question for you, have they stopped the incessant micromanaging
and sending you so many instant messages it is impossible to do your work? I know loads that used to work there, all gone, horrible experiences. What a nightmare!
MDI-FL. thinking of applying. Is medical insurance still high? That is what has stopped me before
I cant remember what the cost was but it seemed to be be high for single and family coverage. Anyone know?
Ditto. I stopped even reading the company board recently
I could not even get through the conversations to the real information on companies. I come here to be informed and to be supportive, but it has gotten tiring going through the constant redundant arguing. I almost gave coming here but it is part of my day. I just come here less now.
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!
Since you've brought it up, I've stopped SM
giving the negative info because every time I have in the past I am called a disgruntled ex-employee or told that my experience has no relation to what the company is like today.
I won't repeat the information I've given in the past, anyone can find it on searches. I've decided to just let the people have their experience with the company and that experience will validate everything I've ever said about those people.
The same people own and run that company--they may have new names doing the management, but it still runs the same way.
Well for one thing, it would not be a professional thing
to do for any MTSO to have a board to do this as part of being an MTSO involves the ability to identify and hold on to confidential information. Even if a person is a job hopper (which in this business rather than go against you can make you a stronger better MT if you can do just about anything thrown at you), if a person is looking for a job, a company needs to have the MT's permission to contact their current employer. Where one has worked or has not worked is something that is very unprofessional being discussed on a board by MTSOs.
Being a business owner of any kind comes with it possessing what it takes to maintain ethical practices.
MDI-FL is not the same as it use to be. They say one thing sm
and do another. MDI-FL has their pets and it is so evident.
One more thing
Do you know anything about Medical Transcription Services out of Texas. They hire graduates of Andrews and other schools. Thank you.
Oh-one more thing...
You never said how many lines you type an hour-- over 350 to 400 typing and 600 editing??
DIDN'T THINK SO--you don't know what you are talking about in regards to the problems a lot of us are having because it is probably better for you. Even the Transcend CEO said it would be better for the SLOWER MTs. I guess you are one of those I take it. If you EVER get your line count up and then have it snatched away, then maybe you will understand what we are talking about, but right now you are clueless sweetie!!!....LOL
That's the thing and
I've been watching this board for a few months now and whenever anyone has a good position as the the poster above states, they never post their real name or where they work. Hmmmm.
OSI did the same thing to me ....
It took them 2 months after I got an acceptance letter. Nobody knew what anyone else was doing and they would never call me back or answer my E-mails or anything, so I went elsewhere and boy am I glad I did
Another thing...
I find it particularly pathetic that someone at Transcend is so willing to put my name out there, yet doesnt post their name. I am sure that you are one to get on here and complain and whine about how you hate Transcend and are so unhappy and trash the place while hiding in secrecy. Why not post your complaints on the forum? To afraid? It really burns me that someone could drag me into this thread while being a coward and not post their own name.
She had one thing that the other
management knew nothing about....RESPECT for the MTs!
And the sad thing about this...sm
they have some great accounts, great dictators...but they are pitiful to work for. Happened to me 3 times. When I told them their check was no good...her response was....funds will be available in 3 days. yeah right!!! I was stupid to stay on that long to receive 3 BAD checks.
Know what will happen, one day some of those MTs will get pissed off and they MAY just lose some of those good accounts they have...and that 8% allowance for spaces..yeah right, who does Deb Garrison think she is fooling? Does she really think all MTs can't "figure" that this is so wrong!!!!
She and her husband are a piece of WORK...
Here is the thing. (sm)
Those who fail a test for employment at other nationals can be hired by OSi. So, how does that make you feel? OSi does not require a decent score to be hired....they are desperate!!!
I would not feel too superior working for OSi...I would be embarrassed!
They are doing the same thing at MDI-FL.
Overhire and no work for current employees.
Only thing I know is... sm
I've seen the recruiters name listed for at least 4 companies in the last couple years and have been misled to two companies she recruited for, I would be wary of any promises she makes. Just my observation of the job boards, won't work anywhere she recruits for.
And another thing (sm)
We all will make this profession or what used to be a profession what it is today.
We are selling a service. If I hired an attorney, I would not ask him for a psychological test or a credit report. I wouldn't ask a contractor that was doing some work in the backyard for a credit report.
When companies ask me for too much for too little, I blow them off. They are already taking a lot of your pay. For them to want you to be an IC, you pay for your own equipment and internet service, you give them an hourly schedule when you are supposed to be an IC, they want 3 references, etc., and now they want a psycological test? Ask a contract attorney or contractor for that, they'd probably hang up the phone in your ear.
Yes, I want to hire you as my attorney, but I want to see a credit report, want to know exactly what hours you will be working and you will need to take a psychological test. All this and I will pay you $10.00 an hour.
I think it is nonsense and they are not treating us like professionals and with the respect that we deserve. And with that, good luck ladies and gents!
Same Thing For Me
The same thing happened to me. Got a call yesterday stating that I started the testing, but never finished and they would like me to work with them. The reason I didn't finish it is that I got a pop-up screen that said I didn't have enough experience, but the caller yesterday said they stress the 2-year experience heavily and I don't have 2 years yet.
even my mgr says there is really no such thing
as straight 'verbatim'. We have to use a little common sense, and esp with obvious errors of dictation, we put what is right, ie, the he/she thing.
I work a verbatim as my primary account, and at times would LOVE to put it character-per-character verbatim, but it'd never fly and at least my mgmt understands that (at MQ)...
Here's the thing.
I came to this board in a sincere search for info about companies. When I saw all the OSi bashing and name-calling and the tendency to berate anybody that might disagree, my immediate impression was that this was just a disgruntled employee taking his/her bad feelings out on an ex-employer. If anything, it made OSI look more appealing to me. I was relieved when the adm. finally took measures to get some proof because when facts are presented in an irrational, angry way, they're really questionable. Presentation is everything. If you want to express your opinion, why not do it in such a way that you're believable and don't come across as an unreliable source. What's so difficult about that? People want your honest opinions, but aren't looking to be insulted or read your personal vendettas. And now that I'm comfortably with a co. again, I won't be coming back to this board. It's been a very negative experience for the most part.
One more thing to add...
Remember, we don't have time to give kudos for every good report you do too - most of us (I know at my company we do) we have an extremely high production level to meet every day, which I don't agree with because it makes it difficult for us to give much feedback and we only have time to say if someone is doing something wrong, etc. We don't have time to say on every report for someone who is training -great job on this one, good job on that one - it's just not the way it is.
One thing I can say for sure is that
medical transcription keeps recruiters busy. One recruiter pays $1200 rent in Florida, not to mention other expenses. She told me this herself. Sounds like recruiting is big business more than MTs. Another recruiter whose last name rhymes with day probably makes as much or more. Her name is continually on this board. Thanks for the freedom to post on this board.
One last thing.
You are just annoying people on this board who have a rapport with me. Maybe you are just annoying people on this board who have a rapport with MQ'er. I agree with her, and I'll thank you not to accuse me and the others of being her. You're the one using foul language and calling people names because you got CALLED OUT for making the mistakes and having a negative attitude, and you don't like it one little bit.
One more thing, lol
I'm going to assume you are talking about the fact that _____'s name is being used. I'm guessing that because she came on the board to defend her position and used her name, that it opened up the door, so to speak, for her name to be used in posts. If my assumption is wrong...well then my previous post still covers it! :)
