owed the $12,000 was supposedly in India and she supposedly had been paid.  This is similar posting, same MTSO and a lot of money owed.  Strange.

    If they are supposedly AWESOME
    why do they have so much turnover and why are there so many posters who worked there and left? Don't you have to wonder about a company that is so great but still has to advertise?
    Anybody know anything about who SPI supposedly bought yet?
    I really hope its not Medware.
    I'm on TWS too. Supposedly yes for spaces.

    Supposedly 5+ years but have you seen some
    Unbelievable, and you would think they just started in the MT business.
    these were supposedly large sm
    companies that have been around awhile.  I am hearing a lot of MTs going through the same thing.  Its getting ridiculous!
    when they didn't supposedly even know
    yeah right. I don't believe anything they say, or that any promises will remain in effect for long, keep hearing: in the foreseeable future, at this time, as far as we know...they sold you down the river...why give them the glory of your presence and hard work. Say NO.
    They are supposedly a Christian organization
    sss
    If they are out of NC, supposedly their software is very efficient.
    I have not worked there, but talked to them when they were trying to start up the company about 2 years ago.

    Supposedly this was not real patients - sm
    Someone in authority checked and it was supposedly test patients that sounded very real.  I don't know for sure as I don't work there but this is what was said. 
    Supposedly if you send anything to India you can't put an ad up for an MT BUT sm

    Alltype sends everything after 8 p.m. EST to India to be done overnight and THEY are allowed to have an ad up here. 


    Cornerstone in NJ, Zylomed, Transcend, TransTech, EFD are those that come immediately to mind, but that is just a couple compared to the fact that I know others would never send to India.


    the normal standard supposedly is sm
    1 minute of dictation equals 10 lines. Obviously if its a slow dictator then you make out really good. If its a really fast person, not so good. I worked on the minute basis for several years and did fine.

    Given the climate of the way these companies don't want ot pay for spaces, headers, etc it might not be a bad deal anymore. I guess it depends on how fast it takes you to turn around the number of minutes you need to type.

    Good luck!
    Supposedly starts 10/06 and will continue
    into the 3rd quarter of next year. I would hope they would let us know, at the very least, which accounts are going first and a time frame for the rest of this year.
    If you search old posts, they supposedly don't pay much at all, even for experience. nm

    I can't believe a supposedly professional adult said bite me! HA!!! sm
    Now we ALL want to work for Proveros and get invited to bite the management woohoo!
    Supposedly, editing would be faster than straight typing
    and the VR would be ONLY for those doing editing. Not everyone will be doing editing (at Transcend).
    Supposedly Spheris is sending reports out by specialty, SM
    except don't expect the same rate of pay as MQ. With Spheris, or any other company where you must use their piece of ---- equipment, the line counts can be, shall we say, variable.

    I really wish you luck. If you don't need benefits, try a smaller company. Put resume out there. Might get some hits.

    I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
    I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.

    I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
    Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
    respond in such a way!  This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
    Pay 8 cpl, use MTWorld software, sound quality supposedly not good. nm

    Axolotl and Spheris supposedly start insurance early, too. nm

    Supposedly new upgrade for WordClient is compatible with Vista, per our mgmt.

    We are about to do an upgrade, and they say it will be compatible with Vista with this new upgrade of WordClient.  Yipeeee


     


    You are correct - also the millions CEOs took off the top for the Katrina supposedly home reimbursem
    Well, I don't know I think it is the lobbying. We don't have lobbyists. With employment going up, mortgages defaulting, no one mentions in the news about all the US jobs going overseas causing this. I was so pro Hillary Clinton until I read about her being an advocate of outsourcing jobs and was overseas promoting it, I don't remember what country offhand - that broke my heart. Look back to before this president took office - you didn't hear of outsourcing to other countries or jobs going overseas, maybe I am wrong but if it brings lots of money to companies - they are certainly going to be hiring the lobbyists to keep it going.

    I don't know why the new does not report what is happening - they seem to skirt the issue big time. Talk about unemployment and mortgage defaults by not the reason - we are all being replaced overseas. I guess if you can retire with millions of dollars in your pocket from stealing from the American people then it won't matter when the downfall happens to the rest of us.
    I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
    She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
    that person go.

    Since you are the person
    who actually makes an offer to someone, you should have a method of following up with someone after a week or so to make sure that the new hire is up and running, especially after you have been notified that the new hire has returned all necessary paperwork. Your process sucks. period.
    Cant you see that the person is already down?
    Thats right kick them when they are down. Thats a great example. Get a life.
    So they are the same person? nm

    The only way a person would need SM

    to have nice people to work for and only communicate with nice people is if they are in need of something they should have within themselves.  For me, my job is just something I do for 8 hours a day and whatever they have to say to me, fine, oh well.  It doesn't reflect on me whether people are snippy or rude, I just ignore it and move on in life.


    It's just work, business.  Not my whole life. 


    Yep. It also looks like this person is just
    wanting to hear good things and forget anything else. Just wanting to hear what they want to hear.
    As a QA person myself, 13.50 is too low
    x
    who was the person
    Could you share the name or initials of the person. I would like to know if it is who is calling me too.
    I really wonder if this person's--sm
    initials begin with K and end with I, who used to post here and cause nothing but turmoil. Sure sounds like her.
    Not the person above but SM

    the person looking for the editors has made it a multi-board issue by posting on different boards telling people to go to the Job Seekers board to see what was posted there.  That's the only way I'd know what was going on.


    As far as he/she being run off the boards forever, oh well.  Reputable companies post who they are and the conditions of employment.  We had another semi-anonymous person get help from at least 1 person on this site recently and the MT was never paid.  The MT has no way of contacting the person who owes the $ now.


    QA person from, you now where!
    Small company and owner is very nice, but the QA person was the absolute worst! Very insulting and humiliating. That is why I left.
    I WONDER IF IT IS THE SAME PERSON
    SHE WAS A TEAM LEAD WHO USED TO DO THAT, SHE WORKS AS MT AT ANOTHER COMPANY. DON'T KNOW ABOUT A SUPERVISOR BUT A TEAM LEAD USED TO DO THAT A LOT AND YOU KNOW THAT SHE KNEW THE SCHEDULES. THAT HAS BEEN A LONG LONG TIME AGO THOUGH.
    Not the person above, but...
    The pay is low and they don't pay for experience. Otherwise, they have plenty of work and are a very nice bunch of people.
    well my tax person
    said because i am in the 15% tax bracket, i should withhold that plus a little (my ss will be paid by employer). Figure 18% will do.
    It happens with the job, not particularly the person as I well know.
    in straight typing for the last 30 years at 3 different hospitals always made at least 2000 lines per day. Since outsourced now started at a company last summer and was getting around 1200-1300 a day, said no way and the work was not that hard. I changed jobs. Doing VR and straight now and averaging at least 3000 per day and very happy now. (By the way, with the low rates companies are paying, have to speed it up and go as fast as my fingers will take me in my 8 hr day to get that).
    I don't think this is the same person. Please
    be sure you are not trashing an innocent person with just a similarity in names. And the original poster is just ranting in generalities, but not same person you are jumping to conclusions on - not same name, and not same companies. Names are not the same as the person you are thinking of - just similar.
    If one more person says...
    Offshoring has nothing to do with cutting costs, but is due to the fact that there are not enough qualified transcriptionists in the US I am going to SCREAM!!! The more I see these things the more it infuriates me!
    Try again not the person you think
    Wrong person that you are thinking of. Sad if this happened to yet another person, I mean there is my friend and then there is the person you are talking about. If management said they could come back they should stand by their word. You just added to my position that even you, who are defending them, know that they are doing that to others, or at least one other that you know of. Just sad. You know my friend almost had me convinced to leave my current company. I am so very glad I did not.
    I don't think it is the same person but I bet they ALL do it.
    /
    Are you the same person who...
    always says, 'check the archives' whenever someone posts a question here? If so, I really wish you would stop it. If someone posts a question, there may be people here who are willing to answer, but you (in a way) close that opportunity for the person posing the question when you post things like this.
    probably why the IT person was not much help, I don't
    think they want to mess with another company's computer, nor the other company's programs, even though you were the author of that particular content.

    If all fails - delet your list. why leave it for them?

    looks like the only person
    who has something nice to say about them has an Indian name.
    You don't have one QA person, so while some are

    tougher than others over a period of a week you are likely to have had them all.  I believe them to be fair, they do try to post links that will help you, and you can dispute anything you don't believe is correct - not with QA, but with MT supervisor.  They tend to be less lax if you continue to make the same mistakes and/or don't follow account specifics.  I know of one account that is difficult because of a high percentage of ESL and one account that is difficult because the quality of the voice files is poor.  I know one person who couldn't handle the high ESL account and another who says it really isn't so bad.  If you produce quality work, work your schedule, etc. they seem to be willing to work with you to find a good fit.


    There are some things I would change, but overall very pleased and plan to retire with them. 


    They do pay better than the majority of the other companies, benefits are much better than 99% of the other companies, I've never not had enough work and usually on OT most days.  They do pay for down time.  They don't offshore either. 


    You are a mean person.
    dd
    How to become a mean person
    Mostly you need a personality disorder that makes it difficult for you to see anyone else's point of view of feel compassion for anyone who does not fit your pictures of how they should behave or ask. And you have to be willing to live a completely miserable life because bullying is the purview of cowards.
    anyone know this person, ****
    does anyone know of a ***** with tarheel transcription?
    You know if this person cannot even

    then that would be a red flag that most likely the work will be inconsistent as well as the pay.  If this person has such a great team, then she would not have to post like this in such a disorganized manner. 


    I just read about this on the job seekers board, and it would seem to me that a simple job posting, and then having applicants follow simple test directions would have been a much better approach.  Not all business owners have the best business ethics.
