In Reply to: I have heard that some savvy Americans are moving - to India to work. The "Indian dream" I guess
puts them on board, sails out past the 12-mile rule into international waters, they work a few weeks, then brings them back to shore for leave, rinse and repeat.
This is not a rumor.

I'd like to work for a California company.
Working for an east coast company doesn't work so well because their TAT comes halfway through my workday.
No it's a company in California begins with a
Everyone for the most part is friendly and helpful. It's just this one QA person who is rude and demeaning. I've been at this for over 15 years now. I get reports back with blanks she is not able to fill in but a report filled with commas and changed words that I KNOW where not dictated. When I questioned that I'm not given any explanation on how this was possible when I know it was not dictated. I think that is what may have triggered the attitude. I've already started looking so I can be prepared when I've had enough.
anyone know about a company called Future Net Technologies out of california

Viva Transcription Company out of California. Does anyone work for this service. If so,
would you be willing to share what they pay?
THer, this is a stupid question but
how exactly do you negogiate? I'm just curious as to how one goes about this, because I feel like I have to accept whatever they offer.
For example, if they offer you 8 cpl, do you just say I'm sorry, I can't work for that amount and see if they counteroffer? Or do you say something along the lines of I've had xx years of experience in acute care (or whatever) and I believe my skills are worth xx amount.
I guess I should just treat it like I was applying for any other job and say I need this amount??
Actually ther sort of offshore those jobs too. sm
There are Indians here on visas that take these IT jobs and get paid half of what an American makes. They're trying to get the government to grant more of these types of visas so they can bring more in. 
I did work for them and you were not even supposed to speak about an acct to anyone that worked ther
nm
Yep. And it brings down the pay.
.
No, it just means that it brings all the
sour grapes people, 2, maybe 3, out of the woodwork and they post like crazy until the whole thread is deleted. Usually those of us with good to say just don't bother anymore. Most people believe the negative first anyway, so what's the point? You can either decide to try them and see if it's a fit for you or don't.
They may offer more to an MT they feel brings

If you put a ? there it brings up a list of IDs & names

Medscribe, Inc - Internet brings
up several places for Medscribe, Inc. Which one is the looking for MTs to transcribe op reports on the MTStars careers right now? Anyone work for them and have an opinion? Saw below about Medscribe in New Jersey. Same one? I got an opinion about the place I work now, and the place is not match for me.
MH? That brings back bad memories...

archives brings up nothing pertinent and....
and what you are saying is turning out to be true...is it possible to find a company now days that is everything they say they are? UGGHH! I just want to work! I do it well and I like to do it a lot and dammit the way these companies are is making me NUTS! Anyhow...better get to not making any money now...thanks for your reply ;)
You're right. Sorry. Divorce brings out the worst in me. nm

Brings to mind famous saying by Liberace
People made fun of him for his costumes, etc. and he coined the phrase laughing all the way to the bank. That be me now. Laugh on.
Cover letters! Brings back memories!
I remember preparing my very first resume...fancy stock paper with watermark, with the obligatory short-n-sweet cover letter included, even a reference sheet if I was feeling ballsy, all mailed in a manilla envelope the same size as the paper so there were no creases! Now everything is done electronic and it's SO impersonal!
I'm such an old fart. 
It brings up 10 pages of info on TTS including the most recent stuff

When I click on self service it brings up "HEAT" and asks me for a logn and password
my Q-net login doesn't work here. Is this something you had to get preapproved or sign up for separately somehow?
A net search brings up a defunct website with a 2003 date on it. Maybe not out there anymore? nm

any QT workers
frequent this board. How is pay, benefits, work load. Still owned by Tampa couple?
MDI-MD workers, can you tell me
if they accept dial-up connections or satellite? Don't find it on their website. thanks.
Workers' Comp, IC @ MQ
Have any IC's ever filed a WC claim against MQ? If so, what was the course and/or outcome?
They are looking for workers -- but NO WORK

First of all, the auto workers SM
have been protected from the realities of the world for decades now. I have contact with them daily-you should hear them cry and complain over having to pay $4 a pay period to cover their family's health insurance. Co-pay for a Rx went up from $2 to $5? Oh, the complaining about what a raw deal they get.
These people all have cottages to summer in, multiple vehicles for business, leisure and sports and the rest of us have slaved. No company EVER promised to take care of its employees for life. We MTs have known that for years and now these people also can find this out.
To All happy IC workers..
Are you satisfied as an IC and not having benefits because you have another job that pays benefits or are dependents of someone how has medical benefits?
I think that off-shore workers
You just summed that up for me. I am glad you told the truth in that you like using slaves to transcribe who are none the wiser.
As an IC, I choose my own hours, days, lines, etc. You as an MTSO consider that whining, when it is the law.
So if you sleep at night knowing you are abusing and mistreating offshore workers, then good for you! It actually just proves you have no heart.
Another point I'd like to make is that if you need subs to make you money, you must be a horrible Transcriptionist yourself.
Any doctor that old me he doesn't care who types, when, and how would be off of my list of good doctors and I wouldn't waste my time. That doctor obviously doesn't care about people but only his own pocket and that would include you as the MTSO. That same doctor that told you he/she doesn't care will drop you as an MTSO in a minute when he/she finds a better deal.
Always remember, we reap what we sow. Try and have a good day, master!
Any Oracle workers here?
Am I the only one at Oracle (OTI) that constantly and consistently runs out of work? I'm not just talking about the usual holiday lull, I mean pretty much everyday? Because I do. I don't think I've had a paycheck yet that's been over 400 dollars. I'm on three accounts (count em '3') and there's still hardly ever enough work. I keep asking my QA ppl to put me on yet another account and they say there aren't anymore openings but then I get emails from them saying how the workload is heavy in this account, heavy in that account... etc.
Why why why is this so hard? Any advice? Anybody?
My request for workers
Apparently all of you who are so disgusted with my posting are so busy that you have time to be on this chat board. I, am quite busy and do not have time to filter through hundreds of resumes, which I have received in the past from a posting. Therefore I was upfront and honest about what I needed and what I would pay. NO, this is not subcontracted work, this is a full fledged hospital account, if it is any of your business. Spend time working not running other people down that you know nothing about.
netmed workers
I tested for the company called Net Med Transcription and was just wondering if anyone out there works for them and if they like, dislike them?
C&C Transcription does pay it's workers
Please don't confuse CC Transcription with C&C Transcription, they are two totally separate companies. Also C&C Transcription does NOT offer direct deposit.
Marie
It's just one more way of cheating workers.
Any Freedom Type workers here? - sm
I've heard nice things, read nice things. Do you like working here? Do you enjoy the work? Set your own hours and workload?
TIA!
I think it is great to get to know more of our "co-workers". (sm)
My elderly mom lives with me, my grandchildren are here before and after school and I go to Wal-Mart and Price Chopper a couple of times a week. That is it for me. I love the idea of getting to know some of my fellow workers. Winter is an extremely crafty season, hopefully will find others with similar interests.
Workers of the World, Unite!
I agree 100%. They accuse John Edwards of engaging in class warfare, and I say why not? The time has come to put an end to all this ugliness. Golden country, indeed.
I'd have to agree with you. Yes, you get a few disgruntled workers who probably
aren't qualified to be doing this work and get reprimanded or just plain unhappy and like to complain, then think twice about their opinion on a company, but for God's sake when people tell you that they aren't not getting paid on time, correct, or AT ALL, why in the world would you consider even taking a job for them. I agree with the poster in that it does reach a level of stupidity and companies that have those kind of unethic and dishonest tactics just prey on stupid people who should have known better to begin with. I think everyone has a right to voice their opinion and experience, good or bad, and yes, some of it take with a grain of salt BUT if it involves your livelihood, a paycheck, then pay attention. I just don't get people either. Here's your sign
SINCE WHEN IS EXPLOITATION OF WORKERS PROPRIETARY?..sm
Are workers for NetMed IC's or employees?
nm
I don't think anybody's wrath is directed at workers
For the most part, it seems the barbs are going right where they belong- at management. The closest anyone has come to faulting the Indian workers themselves is the wage that they make, which they have no control over anymore than we do.
10 reports per hour for QA workers???
Is it reasonable for an MTSO to expect QA to QA 10 reports per hour....when working on several acute care accounts? For the most part it is blanks only, but sometimes there are also full listens.
And they hired 300 Indian workers with plans for
Spheris Inc. of Franklin, Tennessee, has hired 300 people for its new center in Coimbatore, in India's southern Tamil Nadu state, and plans to add another 700 workers in the next year, company president and chief executive Steven Simpson told reporters.
Employees now, now workers comp needed...nm

Why positions cannot be filled. Not due to lack of workers,
Is it because Microsoft cannot meet employment demands based on available US similarly trained workers without paying US expected pay. I am sure if Microsoft was offering a decent wage those positions could be filled. But they will not be filled with US employees if Microsoft is only willing to pay offshore pay rates.
this is the last place I'd guess fellow workers to be...
during work hours in order to get an answer. Doesn't anyone work?
not to mention being discourteous to your co-workers this comes across as being a total ah
:
Confirm WX post, much more for hard workers. NM

Most of the weekend workers you listed make more than some
of the MTs on the board, so are they not getting better pay than the MT? Certainly, the baby-delivering doctor, the cops, the tip-receiving club works, blah, blah, blah.
Since your reply doesn't even address the actual question being asked, how selfish of you to take up valuable space on the board to vent your indignation about others.
do they provide computers even wtih partitime workers?
i need to know if they just send computers to fulltime workers. do they subtract every month for the computer that they will be sending the home-based MT? how much?
That should read "no workers comp needed" sorry

Lots of Indian workers use "American"-sounding
