In Reply to: When I went to school for this MT career - I was told I'd make $60,000 to $70,000 (SM)
If you have it in writing, I'd turn them in to the FTC or BBB for false advertising. $30,000 is pretty respectable.

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.
This is the same person who told me
that there were job openings on escription and Dictaphone. I have a friend there who had been trying to get moved from dictaphone to escription. When she asked him (the next day) if she could be placed in one of the escription openings, he told her that there were absolutely no openings on escription when he had just told me the day before that there were. I had to actually forward his email to my friend to prove to her that he had just told me that they had escription positions.
Now they have been lying to people, telling them that they have hourly positions just to get them to test and then telling them that they can only have a by the line position BECAUSE THE HOURLY JOBS NEVER EXISTED!
I don't understand why they think it is necessary to lie to people because the lies will be revealed here on this site. Maybe they just think we are too stupid to figure it out.
Anyone told they must come in person to train....
when being hired as a home transcriber? Silent Type wants me to come to New Jersey for a 2-day training period (I'm in Ohio). I've being transcribing at home for 14 years. I'm stunned at this and have declined but just curious if any of you have been told this.
A tech person at Transcend told
that they couldn't believe that anyone would build a platform with code that was so archaic and out of date, with parameters that could not be fixed without rebuilding the whole thing. I've worked on much more reliable platforms. They are out there.
I know of one person who recruits for 3 different companies. She told me

"twisting The Knob" - if each of us told just 1 person in medicine about how this is done
We don't have to bad mouth.
We don't have to lie.
Just educate 1 institution - each of us - tell a clinic, tell a doctor group, tell a hospital. Tell them about how the billing has the capability of being manipulated underhandedly. We already know we feel like we are typing in quicksand. How can I be only typing the same number of lines that I did 20 years ago and yet now I have word expanders, computers, dictionaries that "ride" and drug books that "ride" and I don't have to lean over the look up drugs or words - and here I am making the same line count. It doesn't make any sense. "Twisting The Knob." That makes sense.
 Educate, that's how we will bring back our jobs to a reputable place.
RE: "twisting The Knob" - if each of us told just 1 person in medicine about how this is done
As you describe in your post, I would venture to say, you are in a very small minority. Otherwise, why would there be any need for documentation in a medical record?
When I applied and tested they then told me they did not hire IC at least the person I talked to
said that. I had applied because someone else said they did hire IC. So I actually dont know if they do or do not hire IC.
I talked to the insurance person yesterday (we all have her phone #). She told me sm
that the holdup was the insurance company and the fact that all KS employees did not get their paperwork in despite phone calls and emails. They needed both the applications for those who want it and the waivers from those who don't, apparently a federal requirement to prove that they offered it to everyone eligible.
The date of effect might still be 6/1 and everything will be retroactive with cards in the mail this week. They will know today.
I am excited about. I too have been without insurance for too many years!
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.
Well, think about it!! They lied to the MTStars Admin.

The fact that the offshore and lied about it so they
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.
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
:+
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.
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.
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

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.
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

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).
