The negativity is warranted. SM

Since when have you heard of any buyout that made things better for the MT? None. I worked for Transhealth, which was bought by Webmedx. Two years later (almost), it has not been better for us. More management, the use of a time clock, horrible accounts, low work. Never had this at Transhealth.

after all the negativity about MQ and them having-sm
their own board to vent and all, how was I supposed to know it was not sarcastic. You did not elaborate at all. I love eating feet though...lol. sheesh. get mad over something worthwhile.
negativity
Well this will probably raise some hackles....but here goes.
I have never seen so much negativity towards other colleges, as I have seen on this message board. That is a shame. Yes everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it just seems like there are alot of you that want to post nothing but negative posts/replys.
NOW watch how many critics there are about THIS post!!
So much negativity
Let's give it a chance; no one has a crystal ball to have guaranteed bad outcome.
NEGATIVITY!!!
I really feel everyone should calm down and see how it goes. Being negative is helping a thing. I truly do not believe for one second that Dorothy so called SOLD US OUT. Has anyone here ever owned a transcription THE SIZE OF MDI with the same volume of accounts and had to continue to make the customer happy and keep every single MT at the same? MDI is doing their BEST with the situation this economy is in and doing their best to maintain accounts so that we CAN make an income.
I dont think its really fair to bash D or CB on here PERIOD. If your not happy with the partnership, then just quietly move on. There is no need to be saying Dorothy sold us out and negative comments like her pillow is stuffed with fat stacks of cash, and calling CB the QUEEN now.
Its all unnecessary and its NOT going to increase your line count.
Most of the people on here posting negative comments aren't even using their real names. I just wonder how Dorothy would feel if she could see who was really being so critical of a CHANGE that hasn't even completely evolved yet.
The negativity expressed on MT
boards is one thing that really made me question if MT was right for me. Luckily, I persevered despite the negativity and have found that I love MT work. You might try going to a local AHDI meeting if there is one near you. I have found MTs to be much more considerate and helpful and positive in person.
Don't be afraid of the negativity...
Facts are facts, and it's useful. You don't have to like it but can still use what you read. Things tend to get witchy here sometimes, but I gotta say were it not for this board and the freedom we have here of saying what we feel and reading both sides, I'd not have been able to make a halfway intelligent quick decision between two companies. I was set to sign on with a place everybody was praising highly a few months ago which now apparently is going the route of the place I just left, i.e., down the tubes. I used this board, made personal email contact with several people (very valuable) and very quickly picked a place where hopefully I can quit worrying for awhile at least (but who knows? I'll never truly feel secure jobwise again, but it's been a good wake up call). The info I continue to get here has been invaluable to me. You have to know how to use information you're presented with and take what you can from it in any situation. By the way, I also learned that you cannot necessarily believe everything a recruiter will tell you no matter how nice that person is or how intelligent you think your questions are. It can be a different story once you've signed on with the company.
Thanks for all the negativity posted about this job. sm
It made it easier for me to obtain this gravy train account. I would rather take 0.06 cpl GROSS LINE any day over 0.07 or 0.08 cpl 65-character line. With that said, I would also rather take 0.07 cpl or 0.08 cpl over 10 cpl any day if I could have the same, repetitive dictator daily versus 500+ dictators, easily type in Word and no time consuming platform to learn. Wake up people and quit being followers. Judge companies and pay for yourself and decide what you need to earn money and survive. Not what your fellow MT complains about. I suspect those complaining are the ones not making much money.
Reasons for negativity.
MDI has been my dream transcription job/company to work for....having this job is the reason I got into transcription. After having worked for the large national companies and finally being able to get on with MDI, I thought this is it for me, I found the perfect place to be for me........Those of us that have worked for other companies that have done this same thing, been there, done that, repeating the cycle. I guess I was naive to think it would be different with MDI.
Stamp out this Negativity against MDI

I'm sure many postings are shaded by negativity but
If I see something that goes into great detail describing a negative experience, not getting paid, bad management with a pretty good explanation why, etc. I steer clear of that company. No one could be making some of this stuff up.
I was offered a job with DSG and it seems a lot of negativity on here. Is anyone happy there and
do all the accounts have this bad sound I hear so much about. Since they use DQS if they are rerecording from another sound file they will get a very bad sound from that. I do know that but you wouldnt think their own accounts would have that same bad sound.
It's not the negativity of the poster, it is what the MTSO posted.
It doesn't show the MTSO in a very good light.
Gee...are you at all aware of the degree of negativity you have? If your negative... sm
attitude spills over into your employees... then I think you should expect just what you are getting... if anything at all...What I am so tired of is just anyone thinking they are management material ..and are also in the wrong profession... I have had more than my share of you people also...
Not sure why the negativity and sarcasm ... kinda sounds like the old
lover scorned thing ... LOL. No company can probably say that it never runs out of work, but I have 2 accounts, and have only had to go to my secondary account maybe 10 times in the almost 1 year I have been there now. At least the management team at TT cares. I have worked for companies where I ran out of work, and the response I got was a laugh and just take the day off. At least TT will get you another account.
As far as your remark alluding to the fact that if we were so busy working, we wouldn't be here -- do you work 24/7? Also, TT is not a sweatshop. We are allowed breaks. 
Maybe you had a bad experience with them. No company is a great fit for everyone, that's for sure. I have seen people rave about companies on here, tried them myself, and thought YUCK.
It is only 6 am and my shift doesn't start until 4p, but I guess I shouldn't be posting here since apparently it implies that TT has no work ... LOL.
Its why people complain about negativity on this board
Some people want to think that the people posting negative things here are just malcontents. Sometimes, when a person speaks the truth, half a dozen other folks jump on to say its not the truth and everything is roses and rainbows. Usually the truth is somewhere in the middle. But some people would prefer to believe the sunshine being blown you-know-where by recruiters because they want to think they have lucked into a goldmine. Well, its a crap shoot - maybe you did and maybe you didn't. Each person's truth is going to hit them only after they are working the account. So if she only wants to hear about the rainbows, let her have her fantasy. Reality will come soon enough when she gets no paycheck. Then she can pay her bills with all the rainbows.
Wow, some just aren't happy unless there's negativity and drama abounding.
Just because Stephanie is eloquent and not spouting negativity doesn't mean she isn't an MT.
She is just an MT who doesn't subscribe to your doom and gloom attitudes.
I agree! I just can't imagine a company speaking such negativity! I just can't imagine that.
Surely this is not a manager or anyone big time important at SS. I just thought maybe it is a mad MT or something. I have never seen such postings from a manager. I was just curious. I think it is very unprofessional if this is management.
