Aren't MTSOs the owners? Well if owners of MT companies
don't want to work for that MTSO. There should be some idea of what is coming at us.
The "former owners" are the current owners. QT has not been sold (sm)
and I was told it will not be sold and is trying to get new accounts.
If you aren't management & you're making good
money on VR, then why are you so desperate to attack those who don't want to do VR & try to shove it down their throats? A fellow MT wouldn't do that. They'd simply say they like it & how much they make rather than having a meltdown over other MTs not being thrilled about the switch....
Former QT owners? I thought they were original owners

Didn't YOG sell out to MQ?

yes. you should be very scared if they did sell.
SPI is a bunch of crooks.
However, if you are willing to sell yourself cheap,

So you;re willing to sell America out
because there's always work---(for now)?
I don't sell America out
I work only for companies that do not offshore, period.
sell not sale
just before someone jumps on that one
Fatcat - I know exactly what you mean. She does have the right to sell
her company, and if she had been honest and up front and just TOLD us, hey, I need to go in a different direction, I want less stress/work, whatever, so I'm looking to sell the company, I'd have been fine with that. If she'd been honest and said I'm in negotiations and some of your work is being funneled into the new company so they can test the accounts or whatever, I'd have been most unhappy, but at least informed and looking for a new job. It's the fact that they've boasted for years we're the cream of the crop and then gave us the mushroom treatment, and treated us all like we're stupid sheep that will just trot along with Transcend and take whatever they decide to offer us. I can't believe for one minute that they had any of the MTs in mind if they didn't even bother to ask what the pay scale would be, the scheduling requirements, or even the LINE DEFINITION. Carlotta flat out said in my call yesterdya that she hadn't even THOUGHT TO ASK what kind of a line they pay on. For all they know we'll be getting huge pay cuts along with say losing all our spaces or whatever. The fact that she said they never thought to ask and they knew absolutely zero answers to EVERYTHING that directly affects the MTs told me that they either knew and were NOT about to tell us and make us madder, or they never bothered to ask because they absoultely had no interest in it. If they'd been honest and told us what was going on, I could handle this much better. It's the sneaky underhanded way they did it, after years of touting their open communication, etc., that really bothers me. And the offshoring is just the icing on the cake of the giant slap in the face. Talk about stepping on the backs of the people who put her at the top.

I keep wondering what Ondrea would think of all this.
Just because companies don't know how to sell a contract,
they shouldn't pass their shortcomings on to us. This is part and parcel of what is killing our profession. Companies keep low-balling contracts and we all will lose. Very sad.
No, Keystrokes did not sell to Transcend.
Not sure how all these rumors get out. Ridiculous
eBay intrigues me, but I have nothing to sell! (nm)

SELL on Ebay and start over
By the way, even if KS is responsible for giving you bad information about Vista, you still would have had to get a computer to do this work. So that investment is a given.
Save yourself more headaches: Sell your computer on ebay (keep the peripherals) and buy a new computer with XP. You are likely to lose $ but you will probably lose more trying to replace Vista with XP UNLESS you call in a professional to do it for you who guarantees their work.
If you believe the answers below, I have a bridge to sell you.
VR produces a big mess & it takes a lot of time to correct it all. I'd hate to see an audit on those flying through it at full speed, and I'd hate to be the patient depending on a quality report.
They may initially find a way to sell us down.....sm
the river BUT the real issue is that MTSOs jump on any and every chance they can to cheat the MT. It IS, after all, all about $$$ and whose pocket they are in!
I think that they were the owners but not very
friendly. The other services seemed to be having fun but they did not. Makes you wonder what's going on ?????
owners are not MTs.

owners
are nice but the voice files are very hard to hear! Pay is on time as well. I had to use express scribe to transcribe.
You do know that the owners
of MSJ are accountants? (Unless they sold the place sometime in the last few years.) There really shouldn't be any problems with payroll since they are bean counters by trade.
Owners are not MTs and they have

Agree. Got any swamp land to sell her? nm

Yup, change to create a need to sell more books.
That's what I said the first time I heard examples of the new edition's changes. With the logic this one uses, I expect the next edition will decide that a lot should now be one word, and no one should be spelled as one word as well, because it is now so common for people to spell them that way. Oy.
I was just thinking of that -- Carole swore she'd never sell, right up until the day she sm
announced it was sold. I do not blame her for selling, and I guess there were legal issues that made it necessary for her to lie, but it does leave you with a mistrust for what people say. At least we still had jobs, although I quit the minute I heard The Squid had bought the company.
I wish the QTers the best of luck. There are still lots of great companies out there. 
Not much left to sell since they lost big account.nm

I don't sell myself short but don't have 5 "current" years

Spoken like a true corporate sell-out.
Get a loan on the item rather than sell it if it is sentimental.
Gold is at about 900 an ounce. Get a loan on a ring and it will give you 4 months before buying it back, at 800% interest but hey, ya gotta be resourceful and when it comes down this far, time is of the essence.
I've been through mergers and sell-outs before. SM
I don't work for work for the companies being specifically discussed here; however, I have worked for many other companies (in the MT world and other job environments) that have gone through such changes.
This is my opinion and mine only but while I have been nervous of the outcomes of such actions, I have never once taken it personally. It is business. Businesses have always and will always do what is best for them. It is no different than what you and I do for ourselves - we make the best choices we can, sometimes make deals, sometimes have to compromise, sometimes have to completely change our game plan. I cannot blame them for doing what they feel is best for them.
And before anyone starts bashing me with the corporate greed song-and-dance: Companies are about making money - the same as you and I are about making money. Not one of us is here on a volunteer basis, just doing this out of the goodness of our heart. Neither are companies. You and I are PAID and COMPENSATED for our work. Company owners have sunk all their money into their business and are taking the risk. They owe NO ONE bonuses when they sell, etc.
Enough said, I suppose, but just keep in your heart, people, that these are business decisions and that you, as a worker and supporter of your own household, have/will/do make the same types of decisions that are in your home's best interest.
Here's my hat off to everyone here - I truly wish the best for each and every one of you.
type there, oh yes, should be about -- why would you sell yourself and your knowledge for half your
pay ? ? ? Can't you see that a speech document Editor has to have the same education/knowledge as traditional transcribing has. Why wouldn't you be worth the same amount of money per line? ? ?
If you have any experience at all and any knowledge of medical terms, then you are worth your regular line rate whether doing VR or traditional. THINK ABOUT IT !
It is probably one of the OSi owners posting
yeehaw
Right on! Too bad more supes and owners don't - (sm)
check out this website and see what the world of MT is REALLY like. Most of 'em are too busy shopping for that new Lexus or other expensive bauble to know or even care what life is like for the folks that have to work under them. It's kind of funny, where I used to work they had a very hard time attracting new hires, and even retaining the old pros they already had! (Word DOES get out, doesn't it?) Especially now that we have amazing networking & communication tools like the Internet and MT Stars. If I were a manager in charge of MTs, you better believe that I would care how they viewed their jobs, and how my organization looked to others, and I would be reading the med. transcription websites. I now work for a company that you never see discussed in a derrogatory manner on this board, and in fact that had a lot to do with why I chose to work for them, rather than the many companies you read about in here. So MT managers, start treating your employees like the money-makers they are, instead of like dirt, and watch your companies (and your profits) grow.
The owners of MW are all in FL, so how is this true? sm
The owners are 1 family, all in FL. If someone is in new hampshire, she can't be one in the same as medware. I don't know how Medware could give anyone any work, there's no work for the employees.
PMT and Keystrokes owners
Thank you so much for the clarification! Jill was great to work for and very knowledgeable about transcription. I saw Yorkville and wondered if she owned Keystrokes. Now, I know how to get in touch with her to say HI!
LER stands for the owners name....
xx
Yes, the owners are accountants,
but I had mistakes in my pay and the line counter cheated, i'm sure of it........
Yes, however, the owners of the company
also have the freedom to do with their money as they see fit. Even though they could put it back into the company or give a raise to their employees, there is no law that says they have to do so. Waste or not, it is their money.
Whaddya mean bail? Did they sell the company or just quit?
Very interesting.
The owner of the company I work for says she will never sell but I doubt anyone could
pass up millions if put in front of them. I couldn't, that's for sure. A nice island somewhere with someone to bring me slushy drinks :)
Because they actively OFFSHORE and sell American MTs down the river?
That's ALL the reason I need NOT to give them a chance.
Glad it's okay for you, it's an individual thing, apparently, but MY skills and my patriotism are NOT FOR SALE.
AT ANY PRICE.
Thanks for your post.
If the owners name is Lisa please see message
She is a really nice person, runs a great company and pay is always on time. Wish I would have stayed working for her. Probably one of the only jobs I regret not sticking with.
Probably because the board owners don't need to deal with
hostile emails or lawsuit threats from peeved off people. One MTSO threatened to sue me and MTstars when I posted the truth about their documented unfair business practices.
MS in FL has owners who are control freaks and whatever happens
There is one person there (still after 4 years) who would sell you down the river if he thought it would make him look better to the owners but tell you to your face how wonderful you are, unless you have the putzvah to politely debate the issue. Then his boxing gloves come out and the verbal abuse begins. It really is slave labor there. I've been in the office, I've talked with the owners. I know things will never change there unless they start losing clients, but the clients they currently have are so grateful ANYONE will transcribe their reports, they STAY with MS!
And that, my dear, is why nothing changes at MS in FL.
You won't see some of the bigger ones here. I know for a fact that the owners of sm
KS do not come on here anymore. I went to one of them a few weeks ago, and she told me not to get worked up about the posts on here, that not every company is for every person, just just like every MT is not a good fit for every company.
I just emailed her with the request put here today, and she responded that she would not answer any posts on here; every time in the past that she did, things were twisted around and turned ugly, both with the bashers and the cheerleaders, that MTs with questions should contact the companies directly.
She also asked me if I needed more work as I seem to spend a lot of time obsessing about these posts, which really threw me for a few seconds. On thinking about it, she's right.
Ask Accupro. The owners of that company
