unless the name-calling started again. That is the only reason they are deleted. I wish they would've stayed as there was a lot of information from both the company and others and none of it really ugly unless someone blew it as usual.

You weren't there, you don't know..

Then you weren't there for the last pay period which should be DD on the 5th and was not done unt

And like I said, if you weren't typing SM
the stuff, they'd have nothing to come back to you with. And how did they get angry with you anyway? Did you respond to their feedback with negativity and not take responsibility for knowing your account or the basics of transcription?
From knowing many people with your type of attitude over the years, 9 times out of 10 they are people who have the same problems at every job, don't take feedback well, think they are right all of the time and just generally cause problems. Instead of taking responsibility for your part in doing a job, you lay blame on your supervisors, other employees, etc.
They weren't very structured when I was there. SM
They pay okay, around 10 cents a line, but no benefits, no taxes taken out, no direct deposit, so that brings it down to about 6 cents a line. If you want your check overnighted, you pay about $25 or $30 for that. Otherwise it gets mailed and take a chance on when you get it. Even having it overnighted does not always work. I had three or four instances when my check was lost, twice for weeks at a time. I'll stick with the more MT friendly companies who manage to pay 9 and 10 cents a line and still give full benefits and direct deposit. I don't mind working a weekend day now and then.
Heard they weren't less than 8 cpl.
Oh, I'm sure they weren't! But what I meant was, (sm)
not that we be contacted before the sale, but after. We sure haven't been getting any reassurance, here.
There weren't a lot of us left (sm)
I think there were a couple of accounts and we were waiting on some bids to come through but capital-wise apparently they could not keep operating waiting on potential accounts so decision was made to close.
I think we all knew it was potentially coming, just surprised that it happened so quickly. I have no hard feelings, but am nervous about finding new work as I have little experience looking for a job!
weren't they saying last year during
transcriptionists? It was part of some contest or something. Maybe that was a few years ago.
now I know you weren't talking to ME right?

Just as an FYI, I got deleted for
posting initials and was told we are not to do that.
Sure should be deleted!
That is a big no-no. You might even want to check out your HIIPA and confidentiality agreements again. Mine says I cannot identify any client to a third party, though I never would. What do you think everybody on this board is who does not work on that account? I hope you don't cost your company the account.
It was deleted. Please SM
We do not allow job-wanted posts. Everyone needs to do their own job research through the descriptive job ads on the Job Seekers board. They can then ask about specific companies by name on the Company board.

It will probably just get deleted.
I made this same post the day the ad came out and the post was deleted and I got an email from the mod basically saying we are not allowed to mock these companies as they don't want to scare companies from posting here.
postings about them is that they weren't getting paid. nt
Who are you talking to. I did not say you weren't! Respond where you are
supposed to
They weren't rude with me, but a little disorganized and
not looking out for my best interests, but the interests of their client, which I guess is the way it should be since the client is paying for their services. As far as I know there are 2 women that run this company, I have not talked with the owner and maybe she was the one rude, but the woman I dealt with was not rude, just a little dingy and maybe not 100% truthful about the company that she was recommending. All TM did though was screen me and then I still had to go through the testing/interview process with the company. I had had contact with the referred company previously and had even been offered a position with them, which I turned down. The pay rate offered to me by TM and the pay rate offered to me by the company were the same. I declined referral to the company, being that I had already declined an offer from them and I never heard from TM again.
This is the price of doing business. If there weren't
something in it for you, you wouldn't be doing it - whether it be money, ego, prestinge, etc.
I was hoping they weren't liars. sm
What a concept eh to think companies actually tell the truth once in a while. I was hoping they would make good on their promise. I have spent a lot of time making templates and such and did not want to start all over again. OK, I get it now. I told them I would not do anymore work until they sorted this out but I am looking elsewhere. Thanks for the input.
If you weren't looking for the job why'd you read it and post?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Don't come back saying you weren't warned!
Why bother to ask for feedback if you ignore it?
Makes me wish I weren't menopausal!
LOL
I could go along with that if it weren't for the "cheesy" part

Gosh, maybe. They honestly weren't bad.
I have transcribed much, MUCH worse ESL than what was sampled on their test. When they asked me what percentage of ESL I had transcribed for in an average work day, I told them 20% or less and that's when they said that their work involved 80% ESL. But man, that 20% that I got at my former job was some of the worst on the planet, I swear!
I posted below that we weren't talking about
Ascend, but that Ascend is well known for not paying on time. I don't know that they never paid, just not on time. All the information should be in the Archives.
But weren't there payment issues??

MDI-MD? Weren't they bought by Transcend?

They weren't losing those accounts.
They weren't losing those wonderful accounts, they were being sent to the Philippines to their transcription center there.
You weren't even getting paid enough in 1989.
I was making 5.5 to 6 cpl in 1976. It was a good wage back then, but I don't know how anyone with half a brain thinks MTs will make ends meet with that amount in 2009, or will continue to work for companies that pay that chickenfeed, or even consider hiring on with them, when you can make much more money flipping burgers.

I tried to answer you but it got deleted - sm
I would have no idea why as I didn't say anything inflammatory. I won't be trying to help out again since things get deleted around here for no reason.
Now I get it - why certain posts are deleted!
They obviously still lie and convince some people otherwise about offshoring.

Thread deleted. (SM)
The thread was without any substantiation whatsoever, just 2 inflammatory remarks with no credibility and the replies were starting to get out of hand.
Information about any company can be posted here; however, it should be posted with specific information, not just general name-calling and not even specific complaints listed.

Posts with names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or other information identifying individuals or company accounts will be removed.

Do not post your management's initials or names.
Goldbird
No they are not. I was deleted and told
no initials. Sigh. Sure wish I could give them though. I do not see how initials can hurt. It is not like giving the full name (though these people deserve that)
many KS postings have been deleted due to
people supposedly working for Keystrokes who were posting...in a nut shell, the KS people were not putting themselves in a good light and the posts were pulled but you would need to ask KS about it for their version.
Why do my posts keep getting deleted?
If you are going to delete them, could you at least let me know? I truly don't understand why you are deleting them. I asked a simple question about what companies pay on a weekly basis. Is there something wrong with that? I assume thye were not moved because I can't find it anywhere and I posted it twice. How about an explanation or something?
The posts have been deleted.
Deleted Post
I wasn't soliciting a job!!! I was asking what companies are the best to work for doing radiology transcription. I've seen other people ask this same question for other specialties and not get deleted.
Wonder why my post was deleted...sm
I replied earlier to this post about my experience with Spheris and it has disappeared.
I didn't bad-mouth Spheris, only gave my actual experience regarding their pay system and my opinion about their software.
So No, I did not like the environment at Spheris and took myself and my 20 years experience somewhere else.

Either I am blind of a post of mine was deleted from the forum. It was in regards to psych transcription positions. Oh where, oh where, did my post go. I may be blind, but I honestly do not see it.
They were deleted. Sob. Gulp.

No, probably just your post will be deleted

my deleted emails....
My 2 posts, in which I defended you, were deleted, because they were too offensive. But I must say that this was done in a very polite manner.
I ended one of my post with 'Shame, shame', this was obvious a too strong language.
I will try to behave.
Why did my response to this get deleted?
I wasn't being snotty. All I said was maybe the HR person took the long holiday weekend off. How is that rude? So OP, did you hear back from them yet? Maybe follow up with a phone call. Good luck.
Why was my response to this deleted?
I was in no way snotty when I said that DSL is high speed and WiFi is considered the less secure internet connection for HIPAA regulations. Guess my Master's degree doesn't qualify me.
They weren't related at all. Her sister-in-law is my lead and is
wonderful. This person was a transcriptionist who took over HR. No one liked her and we thought she must be related to Lee, but she wasn't.
Are you sure those posts weren't by people who had applied
and couldn't hack a little competition?
Don't know, but a few wks ago, they weren't hiring for their net accts., only for the Lanier o

You weren't offered secondary accounts?
That's unusual.
