could advertise here and when they were banned, they tried to hide their postings inside other posts and continued to post shows that the ethics don't exist. I wouldn't need any more information than that.

Other than the offshore, lied about it and got caught you mean.
You can ask their recruiter if they offshore. It is a known fact!

I know for a fact they offshore, what country I don't know.
In an interview a team leader let slip that they offshored and that is was the good stuff that was offshored.
Make everyone admit offshore is a fact. sm
Maybe, if we MTs and MTSOs put it so out there that this is happening, even if the facilities/doctors would prefer to turn their backs and ignore it, they will have to admit it goes on and either contiue using offshore, or pay higher for US MTs. This seems to be the elephant in the room and we need to annouce to everyone there is a pacyderm in the doctor's office.
I tried notifying moderator about the fact they offshore,
but they're still advertising on here, and I don't understand why. They clearly sent a memo to those of us working for them, outlining their pilot program to offshore 50 reports a day.
This IS fact in my world. Have worked for offshore owned

My company claims the offshore work is excellent. In fact, I

All the ones I never lied to !!!

lied to again
I'm IC, too. Your line requirement is 4000 lines in a pay period -- I was told a while back that ALL of the offices were going to require 6000 lines for IC's.
I have to say, though, I was never lied to by MQ
I'm not trying to start a MQ dispute here, I know this isn't the MQ board, but I left Precyse and went to MQ and I have been treated sooooo much better there and way more professional than I have ever been with Precyse. Although, I think that any company would have treated their employees more professional than my supervisor.
I am the type of person that doesn't need my hand held, I would rather have minimal communication...BUT when I have a question and the lack of work is making my pay go to ZILCH.. It is their job to stop badgering me about line counts when e-mail upon e-mail was sent to them about not having work.
.. I bet you can guess my pay because this was my average 5 day, 25 hour week... log on work for 20 minutes, but never more than 1 hour...no work the rest of the night...then hear about you have to make that time up ..lol, when? I tried to get my schedule changed for that exact reason and was absolutely, flat out denied.
Like I have said before, I guess maybe it isn't the company itself, but the lovely supervisors that are hired that make or break your experience.
Again...they should not have LIED.
Not every MTSO requires this. If I am being hired to QA...then my QA skills should be assessed. If I was a poor MT I never would have been able to pass the testing. If I am a poor MT it will show in the work that I QA.
they lied. NM
.
They flat out lied to me then. They said
they do not get any kind of pay at all. Hmmmm....
Oh come ON! She lied her head off. sm
She lied on the boards right up to the minute the electronic e-mail came out that said she had sold the business. Good gracious, some people have a short memory. And when she was in the process of selling, she was send out e-mails saying how sick she was of all her MTs and talked about their K-Mart clothes and Kathie Lee hair. I remember those e-mails being posted. Pretty bad. LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE.
That is terrible, to be lied to and out of a job
At OSi I took maternity leave and they constantly called me to work no matter what I told them.
This is a fact and you might as well accept it for what it is -- FACT !
It would be a sevice that uses ExText, such as Keystrokes, and I don't know who else uses it. I would think that Keystrokes is as big or bigger than TT now, however, wouldn't you?
The person that told you that LIED like a rug.
If you have it in writing, I'd turn them in to the FTC or BBB for false advertising. $30,000 is pretty respectable.
Well, think about it!! They lied to the MTStars Admin.

Are you referring to the same HR person who lied about
Look in the archives (9/05)for a series of posts about KS where several people posted that the HR person told them that she had worked there for X number of YEARS when in fact she had only been there a couple of weeks.
I was one of the people she told this to. I am also one of the people who waited weeks to be contacted AFTER I HAD BEEN OFFERED A POSITION. Check it out for yourself. I have no reason to lie. I don't think anybody else has any reason to lie. The person you are referring to who gave you the stats about applicants and testing has lied before.
I urge you to find the conversation on MTSTARS that I am referring to that occured in 9/05.
One more thing...they lied on their web site
When I applied with them, it stated on their web site that they paid for spaces. After starting work with them, I discovered that they didn't, and when I questioned them about it, they stated that they had changed their line counting program and hadn't yet changed the web site. Well, the last I looked, their web site said yes, we pay for spaces, so if anyone is desperate enough to go work for this company, I would make down sure it is in the contract what the time frame for payment is and whether or not they do in fact pay you for spaces. They are very devious at Rapid Transcript.
wow 10 minutes a lot of time. She could have lied to you said sure ...
was okay and then have it rejected once you go hired like a lot of places have done and will keep doing.
You are lucky she was trying to at least work with you.
Actually, it is my business, when I have been lied to in the past about (sm)
why I am getting a pay cut.
Also, if you are an IC, there is not unemployment tax, worker's comp and normally, there is no rent, because they work out of their homes.
If they have been in business for a few years, you can be sure that their equipment and software are paid off. Again, no expense. Most companies do not provide equipment anymore, just the software and that is recycled if someone leaves.
You are right, I don't have to be concerned if there is coverage for the work. What I have to be concerned with is if there IS work and if I am going to be able to pay my bills at the end of the month.
And actually, I think it is everyone's business working for an MTSO, to know what their company charges the client. Why hide it?
Transcend recruiter lied to me
When I itested, interviewed and was offered a job at Transcend, the recruiter proceeded to tell me about this really nice account. Turns out it was an account that I had worked on at Medquist, and it was far from nice. As a matter of fact, it was one that I recalled as being among the worst. I called her on this, and she tried to take back and edit what she had plainly said. I figured, if the recruiter could lie about that, what else was she lying about? I declined the position. So, beware....
Well, I guess I got lied to by the recruiter then. Nice.

OSI lied when a company I worked for outsourced to OSI and .......
The gentleman representing OSi was present offering five of us a job with OSI. I point blank asked the gentleman if OSI outsourced their work, because I did not want to work for a company who outsourced overseas. His response was, No they did not; however, if they ever felt the need to do so because a client specifically requests them to do so, they would have to consider the client's request. I had just cut out an article not three days before that meeting where an OSI executive stated they were outsourcing accounts to overseas. I did not have it with me because at the time of the meeting, we did not know that the meeting was to tell all of us we were outsourced, no more job, see ya or I would have shoved the article in his face after his answer. Of course, I had no intentions of ever working for them, but just wanted to see what people like that say when directly asked. Oh well, if that is how they run their business, it will catch up with them eventually.....
It is his choice who he offers what position to. He should not have lied about it, but I think

offshore overseas.... not outsource .... correct term is offshore.

I guess if I got screwed out of my paycheck or got lied to by an employer I'd have a rotten att
This board is a great way to find out about an unsavory company before those things happen to you. If you think warning people about scheisters, liars, bottom feeders, and rip-off artists is amusing, time to double up on your meds, sweetheart.
Nope, the board administrator checked with OSI and they lied to her and got caught.

Mts have "personality disorders" ? Like, wanting to be paid what their worth and not lied to?
How about vacation? Bereavement leave and not losing benefits because your parent is dying and you miss a quota?
Or, how about wanting a 401-K and employer contribution? Or medical and dental benefits? Is wanting those a personality disorder?
Or, wanting to make production, but getting NO WORK day after day, or getting only the worst dictators?
Let me know where you work where it is perfect, because I want to work there, too. But, I also want benefits and vacation and bereavement leave and a 401-K, as a minimum, and I want steady work, like I am a steady worker, and I want to be paid what I deserve, and I want some good work along with all the crap.
Thanks. Let me know. ONLY a profession of predominantly women would call the other women crazy for wanting the basics. Sheesh. Again, email me with that perfect job, because I'd like to have one just like it.
This seems to be pro-offshore board. Messages against offshore often just disappear.

Isn't Wal-Mart the company that lied/replaced labels several years back with Made in USA? nm

What good does it do? They've lied, they've betrayed us.
They've taken all they are going to take from me. I am not going to waste any more time being angry. I hate the way things ended, but I refuse to accept the blame for any part of it because I know that was a lie too, even though they did try to blame the MTs. I know part of the problem was quality issues, but QA wasn't to blame for that either, although they have been.
It is time to pick up and move on. I think mgmt will reap what they sow. For those who worked on the main account Webmedx is still hiring, though the best time slots have already been taken.
offshore to India, it's OFFSHORE (off shore), not outsource to India.

Very serious in fact.
They are advertising a nationwide position and then selectively weeding out geographical areas. They need full disclosure or maybe they need a big fat lawsuit. Either way, I'm not kidding.
I know for a fact that MQ wants my SM
hospital's transcription (I'm a hospital employee), but they won't take overflow only. They want it ALL and won't take the account unless they get rid of the hospital employees.
I know it can be done - but not at MDI-MD. This I know for a fact.
xx
it can be just because of the fact sm
that the work has to be done. BUT, it only turns into that if you let it.
What I have found after working for years and years as an IC that if you are an employee who puts out a high quality finished product and do your best that the companies (maybe not all of them) will usually go out of their way to make you happy.
There was a time when MQ before it was MQ and still Transcriptions Limited was such a company. This all makes me so sad that this company has been allowed to be destroyed like it has. I know there are folks who are still happy with it and I am glad, but for the ones who are not and especially those of us who were around for years and saw the other side of the company, it is very sad.
As far as IC status, its kind of a trade off really. You are giving up benefits etc to be able to be an IC and not have to have set hours. But you have to work those hours out for yourself. If you have to be an employee because of benefits then the trade off is not having much flexibility. Either way though you do have control in how you let folks treat you.
Well, I know for a fact that..........
they offshore A LOT of the work because I used to work for them for 2 years, and was always running out of work for a huge, huge account which they lost? More like they gave it to those overseas to do totally. When I did work for them, you could tell that most of that account was being typed overseas because when you had to access a former document in the Chartnet on a particular patient, it would bring it up, and actually seemed to be typed like the person did not know anything about English, let alone medical terminology which was atrocious!!
I have since moved on because I actually need to work!!
No I just know for a fact that
TTS treats their employees very poorly, does not pay on time, if ever. Will warn anyone I can to stay away from there. Not trying to jab at anyone, just trying to protect someone else from falling into that. Take a look at all the posts on this board, we can't all be wrong can we?
No it isn't; its fact
Some of us have no problem with facts.
I know for a fact that this happens...
one of the MTs I know who also does QA said she sees this all the time, that some QA people will just take out words or put in words to send the report through...so it does happen and I am sure this isn't the only company that this happens with.
what's a fact? nm
nm
fact is
Management can't let you know anything because they don't know themselves yet. They have to have work to survive first for themselves and then will give out the work to those who are still waiting for it. It you quit, you quit, just more work for them and when it picks back up they'll hire more if need be. What don't you get, happens with every company. They'll throw you a job here and there to keep you hoping and it's up to you to stay or go.
I believe it's also due to the fact that
some people (a lot of them on this board) will look for any reason to badmouth and complain. I don't come here often for that reason either. It gets really old and discouraging to see nothing but negativity and bashing each time I come here.
I am in fact an MT. Do you not know
what benefits your company offers?
This is very true. I know this for a fact.

It's a TRUE FACT
They change that divisor however they want. It's true. I know it for a fact. I hope to see them go under!
Fact or fiction?
Fact: It was posted on this forum that Karen, the ex-HR person, was let go on terms that were less than good.
Fact: It was posted on this forum that Karen, the ex-HR person, in fact stole HR files of new hires/possible new hires when she was let go. This was the reason/excuse why so many MTs who applied at KS during this time period were never contacted about their possible hiring/training.
Fact: I know this is fact because it happend to me while I was in the process of trying to "get hired."
Fact: In the last 3 years, there have been 2 pay decreases across the board at KS. This is also posted in the archives on this forum.
Fact: Last summer when the second pay decrease was implemented, it was brought out that there had been a first pay decrease before and Lee and other management people posted on this forum that this was not true. Well, we know that was a lie as the archives tell different.
Fact: We know that many, many people cannot get past the initial interview and actually work for KS because no one contacts them. This is also posted on this forum again and again.
Fact: We know that any time some MT tries to post an honest response about their unfortunate experience with KS, all KS management including the owner get on here and call the MTs liars and bash them, blaming them for being a bad MT.
What other facts should I get straight?
Fact or fiction?
Bravo!
Only thing you left out is the FACT that this entire thread will probably be deleted after your last stated fact has taken place.
Thank you!!!
Fact or fiction? Please sm
I have to add one thing. You can all take it or leave it at your own discretion. It is true, as Lee knows, and as does the moderator of this board.
Lee personally handed over my personal home phone number....yes.....complete, total lack of confidentiality in its utmost form as I know it to be......to the moderator of this board.
You may call it what you like. Perhaps they felt it was for the "good" or in my "best interest". The FACT remains that this was an unlawful, immoral, and blatantly disrespectful act on Lee's part. If Lee was so concerned, she should have called me herself rather than handing over my personal info to someone else.
Disagree if you will. I have no problems with disagreeing. I do, however, have a problem with anyone who hands over my information so quickly and willingly when she is by law instructed not to do so.
I rest my case. And, I'm sure this will be deleted, also. Sigh.......at least I finally got it out of my system!
