Too bad they got rid of Indian team leads. My US team lead is the worst.
As a former OSi team lead.....
I will say that the main reason I left the company is because I knew it was not right to ask people to work extra when they could not report it on their time sheets. And, yes, an account coordinator, has definitely recently asked people to work extra but not report it. This has been going on a long time. Time should be recorded as time actually working not what you put on a time sheet. That is ridiculous. The majority of my MT's did work extra but did they get paid overtime? No! This is SO not right!!!  ');>
she did it while a team lead too

What exactly is a Team Lead?

team lead
You have it all figured out. How can I even respond to such brilliance. Until you understand what my job entails and how much I'm paid, might be smarter just to stay quiet. You know about 1% of what I do for Cardioscribes.
Team Lead Help
So, if you don't mind me asking, to make sure I go the proper route, when you say team lead, are you referring to our STM? I have not been with the company very long and I am not familiar with the position of a team lead. I plan to take your advice. Please email me if you would rather communicate that way. Thank you.
Response to team lead
You say that you contact everyone who is assigned to you - maybe the short circuiting is happening in HR. Someone is offered a job and then the HR person doesn't forward appropriat paperwork or email to the necessary people.
Your team lead/boss
In general, do your bosses respond to your e-mails with questions about your accounts, etc? My boss does not answer any e-mails. All of my e-mails have been our accounts and not just B.S.
I'm an OSi team lead but can't leave
but I can leave OSi and have received 2 job offers that I'm mulling over right now. I have to make a decision by tomorrow before the jobs are snapped up by someone else. They are running out of spots for new hires.
Have you asked your team lead or ROM? sm
When I started I did a few reports, they were checked and then I was opened up to the pool within the first day.
Um..as a team lead you are paid
hourly so of course the low amount of dictation available does not impact your bottom line.
Team Lead Help with Cherrypicking
If you are a team lead for the Web, can you tell us who else can we tell if our STM doesn't seem to want to do anything about it when you have complained? What other option do we have?
$14 hr for pt team lead rest production
and yes all we do is assign jobs when coordinator is off, easy money though

You're so silly. Your a team lead
and a front for an Indian business. You should be ashamed of yourself. Answer this -- their website gives a US address. You know where the work is coming from and managed - I don't have a problem with the Indian MTs and work -- it's the false advertisement. So, you're saying you actually condone and have no problem representing a piece of the sham?
Also, as a TL for this company, you are not portraying yourself in a leadership position -- you should be portraying yourself as an example and mentor. If the Indian angle doesn't put a sour note on this company, your posts and representation of them does. Good luck in your lovely position.
Hey KS Team Lead - I really think you should stop responding. You are making yourself
and your company look ridiculous and unprofessional to the extreme! If this is indicative of how KS does business, it's no wonder they are flat.
Keystrokes lead MTs and management team are great. I am sure I
will be flamed but I really like my lead and have never had anything but positive experiences with anyone in Keystrokes.
The nay-sayers will start their bashing now I am sure.
I'd ask your team lead. She would know but I will tell you that we're already out of work toda
guess everyone wanted the bonus. I find it sad that we'll get back logged because no one wants to work a regular schedule, yet come a holiday bonus, and everyone is obviously working. It's too bad we couldnt have that bonus rate as a standard. You'd see a lot more motivated people in this business. Most of us are burned out on pounding the keyboard all day and gain so little. I guess so much for a holiday bonus when there is no work. Kind of defeats the purpose..Oh well...I'm vented for today. 
It is correct information, someone accidentally sent out an email from their Indian Team lead.

As a shift lead I made $15 an hour, but did QA plus lead duties...
I also worked terrible hours with no differential for them. I think it just matters on the company.
opppss meant purple team, not red team.
Sorry, I meant the purple team.
bull
The work load will not increase, in fact it has been going down steadily the last 6 months and they are loosing more accounts. I have been using the editing software for some time now and I can assure you that without work being there it is impossible to make double line count and the editing is not that much quicker than transcribing. I say lets cut the pay of the big wigs instead of always trying to cut it at out level!
That's bull that HR has nothing to do with it. sm
On our quarterly updates from MetLife, the name printed on them as our contact is the HR director! It always has been that way, regardless of who the plan holder was. Payroll is the last person I want handling the 401k, and she's never been the contact for that. HR is a complete mess, they've been through SO MANY different HR directors in the years I've been with MW.
Bull.
My credit is NO ONE's business. How I handle my credit is no concern of any company I work for.
It's bull
I have worked on Escription and other VR platforms...it is total bull that you can double, much less triple your line count. I will never do VR again. I'm sorry but MDI might have BEEN a good place to work for but if they are going to be paying $.03 per line for VR they are NO LONGER a good place to work for. I'd be polishing my resume.
Oh Bull-onie
she could get everything she wants at MQ. I also have 30 yr experience and i am happy there!
Sorry but that is a bunch of bull. SM
How did you get on this earth? Were you not someone's child?
Your comments are totally ridculous, rude and disrespectful.
Bull! How can they enforce that?..sm
How can they stop MTs from contacting each other, e-mailig, or otherwise corresponding with each other on our own time? What country do they think we live in? Whom I contact, e-mail, etc., on my own time is my own business.
Do you remember the bull about their new
end up 'earning more' than we did when they took over? I don't want to share any margaritas with their QAs, either. Those people are for the most part half a crayon short of totally illiterate.
? for any lead at Keystrokes. What does a lead do?
Do they do QA, mentor, or ....?
You can e-mail me privately if you like.
Some of us choose neither to lead, nor be lead!
I guess I just don't have that 'pack mentality'.
I agree - bull crap.
Know what I have taken to do, I email saying May I ask before proceeding to resume, testing etc,
What is the lowest to the highest line rate offered for the position, are spaces paid and is the position for VR. I feel this saves valuable time on both sides don't you? Thanks etc.
They do respond most of them.
Sounds like a load of bull to me. Some companies have old
reports that you can look up in their system. My company has samples from various docs posted in a database, other companies will fax/e-mail you samples. I find it hard to believe that all those companies are in violation of privacy issues.
Bull honkey. Half the mad posters are the ones that don't like negative
They get just as nasty and rude telling the people to stop posting negative comments.
Thats bull. I was told $2000 was tops a month. nm
They even have a school for MTs, "to help better the, I can't remember theincreasing bull...
They sent out a letter like they were philanthropists, bettering the (I can't remember what they said, it was such a joke). Great tax break for them having an office or school over there, don't believe the lies they use to excuse their behavior. You cannot make any money with these religious, I am all for humanity bull.
10 pages, bull, they want it for free, give them one page or find another job.
.
Are you a lead or IC? Only getting 8 here!
you are a lead?
I can't believe that.
TO KS MT and KS LEAD - sm
I am not a basher, but I just wonder that EVERYTIME a thread about Keystrokes is started, one or both of you come on here and JUMP down the throat of ANY poster, calling them bashers. What do you call your attitudes and responses? Surely, if Keystrokes is the wonderful company you say it is, it shouldn't need to be defended the way you both do it (which sounds suspiciously like management talking), and would stand on their reputation? I have to say, I don't work there, never have, so don't accuse me of lying or not cutting it, but both your attitudes leave a bad taste about how things really are behind the scenes. You seem to be doing more harm than good for Keystrokes by the tone of your posts. Makes an outsider wonder what you both are protesting so much about?
I am a KS lead
I do not assign the work on my account. The facility routes the work to us. Cannot speak for other accounts that I do not work on. However, as has been said before, I find Keystrokes to be honest and pro-transcriptionists.
Then don't become lead
and you will continue to love it. Leads are the ones who are verbally abused by management at the whim of whatever account they are over.
I don't know but seems she was a lead in name only nm
Maybe it's your lead. sm
Email me, I will help. I have a great relationship with Becky and Karyn and sometimes they don't know if they leads don't tell them. I am a lead, and busy as can be on my accounts, so I could use you if no other accounts. I also know that there are always new accounts, three in my area alone in the last 2 weeks with 4 more going live in April. I will try to help.
KS Lead
Thank you for your response. Do you know anything about the ExText platform? Is it easy to use, fast in performing various functions, with few technical problems? I've seen pro and con on ExText and only know that it uses a different pedal. Do not know how it compares to other platforms.
KS Lead
Sorry - just to clarify, did you mean ExText was compatible with Shorthand, or only the ones you mentioned for radiology?
To KS Lead...(sm)
I was just wondering why KS does not pay any bonuses - such as quarterly bonus, if you do more lines than required, or anything besides base pay for lines typed. I know they don't pay overtime, but have they ever considered any incentives for doing more than required lines? They seem like such a great company to work for, and the incentives really do work, was just curious. Appreciate your input.
Who is your Lead?
Shift lead
MTs were required to transcribe during our shift, and the shift lead part will now be handled by the team leader. I have a good line rate and am happy to be typing, no problems here. They are still a good company to work for.
Lead MT elimination
I hope the lead MTs stuck together and told Medware where to put their offer of transcription and/or reviewing. There are better companies out there who will pay more! And will treat you better.
Maybe talk to your lead and ask....
how it works? Don't you see the job numbers and what order they come in if it's in a pool? What kind of account is this for, acute or clinic? I would honestly ask and let her know you're not happy about with this.
