The techs that knew anything all left.

They had 1 guy once that knew nothing and did something that made a bunch of computers crash. I would be very leary about letting them install anything on my machine.

Poster said she left there at least 4 years ago. did not say she knew what was going on now.

Sounds like SoftScript. The left hand never knew

lab techs make WAY more than i do
Let them work weekends. They also get tremendous benefits. Don't call me shallow, dickhead.
Do they still use Indian techs in India to set you up
s
That's a bit misleading. It is NOT just the IT department. The techs sm
who allocate the dictation files to you nothing to do with IT. If you have a computer issue, they will get someone from IT for you, but Marie and the rest are not part of that department. The ENTIRE COMPANY is based in India. Yes, they hire American MTs, but the company is in India, and they at one point even lied to the MTs and said work was slow due to Christmas (this was in the middle/latter part of January), then one of the techs admitted they had outsourced to an Indian MT company.
They are not the worst company to work for -- the pay is decent and on time -- although I never cared for the way the work was allocated and I absolutely DESPISE the fact that they are now lying and misrepresenting themselves in their ads saying they are based in Kentucky. There is a residential HOUSE in Kentucky owned by the Indian owner. Why not just be upfront about it in their ads?
Can you use the ShortCut program with DQS? I'm getting different answers from the techs. nm

What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
No problems with the Indian techs setting you up or any problems with their program? Bud of mine

Maybe it would help if we knew exactly
how many people were quitting, if they could maybe post on here (or maybe a less public place might be better) when they find a new job and when they plan on leaving. Might make more of an impact that way. I'm going to have to leave, but I don't have a new job yet. And I agree with you about not giving notice. They didn't give us any notice.
See? You knew better, but still...
Do you brush off your typos in your work just because it is early morning?
Some people just do not do well under pressure like that (verbal quizzes) regardless of how much they know. Get off of your pedestal.
We knew what we were saying
Both of us knew what we were saying without the extra 000's. I just looked at my chart notes and at 9 cents per line which is what I pay my subs you lost about 15% and so probably get about 7.5 cents per line. The first document I checked was a lot of letters and consults and so there were a lot of blank lines in that one -- which I do get paid for believe it or not -- so that was not a good comparison --forgot about that. But I just looked at a document that had 3830 lines and 2790 words and so you can compare that. But again I charge gross lines. Less per line but they much prefer the less per line than the more per line but less lines. I have weird docs. Good luck again.
If we knew of any, we'd all be there!

I knew it
Thank you so much for sharing. That is what I mean, the old bait and switch game. They reel you in, have you quit your current job, and then treat you anyway you want to. Just like 75% of the companies these days. And yes, lying to someone over the phone and the computer is easier for people. All I want in a company is work, paychecks, integrity, and honesty. And you sure wont get it here at JLG!!
If they only knew...
the clients I mean. Maybe everyone's minds should think alike.
I agree, Melissa was once an upstanding person and manager, boy was I wrong! She would not answer her office phone or her cell phone yesterday afternoon when I called and I left her messages. I emailed her that I was going to be out last night due to illness and she forwarded my email to Kathy Clemmons and Colleen Neidert. What, now I can't use my sick time either! Just try me!
I wish I knew
what company this hiring manager worked for. I would not apply.
If you only knew!

somehow I knew
Call me names if you want to....I really don't care. I stand my ground. Acusis is a great company with great people. I personally know MTs who have absolutely no trouble getting their Keystrokes in...perhaps you are spending too much time here when you should be transcribing? Just a thought.....
No it isn't, but seems to be more than you knew. I also know how to
search the archives.
If she knew, do you think she would ask?
wish I knew..sm
The website looks good-seems like all radiology work., but other than that, I know nothing; I haven't heard from them either. 
I wonder, too, if they even knew it was in use...
when filing a name, how would one know if w/o the copywrite?
wish I knew.. but
I received an email yesterday stating I did very well on the test and wanted to know when I would be able to speak to them. I told them today or tomorrow and gave time. So far, no response email, no call.
Uh oh. I knew something bad had to SM
be coming, since they didn't have any bad news at the last town meeting call. Too many changes to annotate? That's their way of having us go through the whole thing and hopefully miss even more things they are taking away from us, OR more things we are going to have to do and not be paid for.
the OP knew what she was doing and sm
I am sure she knew the consequences. She will be fine and she will get another job.
I just hope its not in an office with folks like you. I have been there, done that and no amount of money is worth that.
When it comes my time to die, I sure won't be saying GEE I wish I had worked more hours! I will be glad I did what I could do for and with my family and the OP will do the same.
Well, 2 of us knew it
But don't feel too badly. Some of us manage to be aware of cultural phenomena and the world outside of our own. I don't think any of us expect that from you.
I knew it, I knew it
Wow, I thought Iw as the only one who noticed something weird about this companyh. They pulled the same garbage on me, the 9:00 interview, on Yahoo IM? What a crock. What exactly are they trying to pull? I also got a computer virus that I think was due to them.
Although this is something I knew, it SM
bears repeating. MTStars is not giving out that information. The poster in question made it clear that she gave information in HER OWN POSTS that allowed identification.
There are also accusations against 4 Jane Does in the suit, which shows everyone that nobody from MTStars is giving out ISP or identification information.
Thanks. I knew there was something but

I never knew they had glitches.
I'm in the dark about that.
if you knew what they paid, why did you take the job?

knew that was coming!
Three things are for sure - death, taxes, and that you'll start your vendetta the minute anyone mentions OSI!
I knew it was too easy sm
Probably too good to be true but I will try to straddle both jobs. My current one is a stinko place, lotsa junk dictation, no $$, so T seemed like a big step in the right direction. However, I got it too easy. My experience with both MT and nonMT jobs is if you get them too easily, there's usually a reason why -- nobody else wants it.

I don't know firsthand but knew
someone that worked for them once who was happy with them
I knew someone would disagree with me, but
for the account I am on, I am definitely getting the short end of the stick being paid by the report. Unfortunately, that is something you don't know until you actually work on the account. At least by the line, you are paid for what you do exactly.
Money? They pay for this? Who knew?!!!
Dear Foothills:
You are too funny!
None of us make money in transcription anymore. Veteran's in the business can remember when we used to make a living wage, but anymore?
No, we'd all be better off as coal miners because it would pay better. I'm serious. These companies are in the penny pinching business, stealing spaces, headers, footers, courtesy copies, and creative accounting so what you type is not what you get paid anymore, and they have it down to a science.
I'm guessing, but I'd venture to say in the coal mine they wouldn't tell me working for free is part of my job. What do you think?
hahahahahaa.
I'm working on an attitude today with dictators.
I wish they would all yawn, fart, sneeze, eat, cough, talk to other people, answer the telephone, play with the calculator and shuffle papers while dictating as I am sitting here trying to make a living.
Then, if they can gargle like this fellow I have right now where I can struggle to understand, I would just be thrilled! (Sarcasm).
Rudest animal on the planet?
Dictators.
Some days it would be easier for a gnat to give birth to an elephant than to transcribe a horrible dictator. Ever have a day like that?
There in is the reason we make little to no money.
AMEN.
Last I knew it was Starmark sm
and they were awful.
I knew it would come out sooner or later.
If people only knew what goes on (sm)
the deception is something else with this company, I am so happy to be rid of all that nonsense. Sorry that happened to you.
Thanks, Wendy, I never knew that.
New Jersey last I knew. nm

and thank you! I knew there was something forgotten!

If we knew the answer to that one...
we'd all be working there! We all would love to know where to go to make 13 cpl to start, where we are not on a time clock, were we have little to no ESLs, and where we are treated with the utmost respect, paid on time every time, and don't have to worry about being switched to that blasted ASR. Boy, if there's anyone out there who knows of such a utopian place for a MT, please let me know! I'll be quitting tomorrow!!
if you knew the company, that is.
