In Reply to: docking $10 per report for mistakes. I immediately sent in - my resignation. nm
made me almost reject their offer. The only docking I am aware of is that they do indeed dock you if you cherry pick the work. Which to me, is one of the best features of the company. I find that the great line offsets any clunkiness of the software. As I said before, I am 100% happy working for them.

You absolutely cannot deviate from your set schedule. You absolutely must give 2 weeks' notice if you need time off for any reason or need a schedule change. If not, you will be reprimanded like a child. If you want time off, they go by seniority. I was specifically told this by the supervisor when I asked for a day off and couldn't get it, but in the same respect I only gave a week's notice (heaven forbid).
This is a very good company, great pay, great benefits, but for me the flexibility was not there at all. It was just a personal choice. I absolutely need flexibility during my day with my children and surprises that always seem to come up where my husband needs me with his businesses, my reason for taking an IC/statutory position.
I was finding I had to constantly keep making schedule changes, which the supervisor always approved but wanted to be sure I didn't need to make anymore. :) I was pretty much a pain in the butt with schedule changes, so leaving there to take a break and then really evaluate what I needed led me to an IC position, which I am absolutely loving and is working so well for me. This is what I got into this business for in the first place.
Axolotl is a very good company, though. They don't offshore either.
Yes, sort of (sm)
CardioScribes is owned by MediScribes. To my knowledge, none of the Cardio stuff goes to India. However, I think all of the MediScribes does. I'm really not sure why it is that way. I mean, why they don't just send it all to India if they're going to send some. Not that they should. I'm just saying, it's weird.
I do--sort of. SM
It's a hazy window into the future called Google. Try checking terms such as electronic medical record voice recognition front end back end transcription. There's a lot of discussion these days among IT specialists and healthcare institutions about the transition to the EMR. Front-end VR systems are entered entirely by clinicians, provide an immediate record, and do away with involvement of editors, but require training, take more clinician time, and distract from patient interaction. Back-end systems are similar to old dictation patterns and route the VR product through us for cleanup. It appears likely at this point that some institutions will go for one approach and others for the other, but how many jobs will be left is lost in the hazy distance, but even in the best case fewer of us will be needed percentagewise.
Although few institutions have started the transition, a little research should burst the bubble that a home can be found someplace clinging to the comfy old way. The US is definitely backwards in this regard. Change is overdue, and virtually all are eventually going to VR and EMR. MTSOs are very, very busy looking and pushing for ways they (we) can continue to provide needed services.
Bottom line for anyone who wants to stay in this line of work: Become skilled in VR editing and be very ready to learn any other new skills change may require of the survivors. I haven't signed up for coding classes, for instance, but at least an initial introduction course or two might not be a bad idea.
Sort of makes me wonder who is really doing the
posting, don't ya think? That seems to be the intent of the posts, to turn us all off OSI, and somehow I have a sneaking suspicion it is one or more of the unhappy ex's now having fun at OSI's expense! 
seems sort of low for someone with your expeience. nm
.
That is sort of hinky.
I've never had an IC position ask for this much documentation. Employee, yes, they do have to verify citizenship. But not IC.
I think you are sort of in the Kool-Aid
This person is responding to another poster from another thread who thinks it is just okay to undermine what we call smart people. A company is hiring ICs to work shifts, but this company has actually subbed work for a national. It's called asking questions, getting answers, and then having someone believe that it is just okay to make money off of us working MTs like yourself. I understand you think this person is heartless, but in essence they are not. This OP is trying to make a point, but obviously you are not aware of the many threads regarding this issue. Take a chill pill! The bottom of the barrell is the company that subs and then misrepresents what they are doing to reel in MTs for a short period of time only to find out that the work runs out. Do you realize how hard it is to learn a new account, and then have it taken from you? I am sure you do. That is what this thread is really about. It is really about being informed of companies and their wrongdoings. It is allowed to be posted if someone is not paid from a certain company, and so it should be allowed to know whether a company is trying to pull a fast one at the expense of MTs that are unaware of this type of behavior.
OK, now that I can sort of understand.
(Sort of.)
I sort of agree, but --sm
I have tried using the archives to look things up too and I have NEVER found the information I am looking for. Others complain about it too, with only being able to find things from two years ago or some such. Everyone always says, look in the archives, but don't use the Google search, but no body ever takes the time to EXPLAIN how to search the archives. Even you yourself say to search the archives using the correct tring of characters, but you do not explain what that is. I have spent the time, but give up in frustration because nobody bothers to help with HOW to search the archives, but just saying *do it*. So a lot of people give up, as well, and hope that someone will just answer their questions, instead of telling them to research it, but not telling them how. That is what makes no sense to me. and that is why I say that nobody wants to help anymore.
Yeah, it's sort of like comparing - (sm)
The tone was a bit on the stern side today too, don't you think?
I, too love the current platform. Entirely easy & user-friendly. I worry that the speech-rec part of the new platform will turn this into a boring editing job.
Sort of like waiting for your meal at a
restaurant. In the good old days, the second I would light a cigarette, after reaching the impatient point for my food, the meal would come! LOL! Good luck to you! You get to play with that shiny new computer all weekend!! Best of luck!
Sounds sort of like Answer-Med in
Monroe, LA. They keep pets on top of all that.
It's amazing what sort of goodies can come your way
Been there, done that, and just can't wait to do it again.
I ['heart'] the Labor Board!
That sort of behavior was well illustrated by
well back into history, and there are a lot of reasons for it. Partly genetic, partly situational.
What exactly is different about it? Can you give sort of a short overview?
thanks
They're lying sort of. They are pretty much
100% Indian, so I guess saying they don't offshore to India isn't a total lie. They just have an address in the US, which someone posted previously was actually a residence.
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. 
Are there any companies that hire emp status and let you work sort of a split?
I would like to work 6 hours during the day while kids are in school and then about 2 hours in the evening. Are there companies that will allow this? Do they have affordable benefits?
As opposed to what sort of "panties" she wears normally? Thanks for that mental picture!
Just be honest. Put down the shift you're looking for, what type of work, that sort of thing.
Be reasonable in the line rate, or I use "negotiable". Let them know if you're looking for a large or small company to work for.
Moderator should REQUIRE mgmt to be identified in some sort of way, so as to be identified as
advertising for their company on this forum by all the praises and such! This ends up to be FREE advertising for companies when their mgmt team do such on this board. We MT's know the whole truth about the company, as we experience it on a daily basis.
I just want to agree 100% that TT is NOT the company it started to be -- and I mean NOTHING like the company it was. It is rapidly going the way of the Q in the method of running the company now -- more mgmt/supes than MT's. Shame, shame. Taking our $$$$ and paying more mgmt-type people when the MT's produce every penny the company makes. Who else does? NOBODY. Dictaphone has all the say-so about all their ExText accounts, ad they have to spread the work around to all of Dictaphone customers -- not saying that TT has not picked up an account or 2 on their own. I cannot put my finger on the problem at TT for the past 1+ years, but it is there.
My main grip is how my line count has dropped and not MY OWN fault either. My fingers are going as fast as they ever have. The other grip is mine is TOO MANY mgmt/supe type people now. Gets very old every time an email is sent out to us hardworking MT's that TT has hired another mgmt team member! YUK Some of these people are real doozies too, along with the new tech people they hired. We had an EXCELLENT tech guy before these 3 were hired and TT didn't take care of him, so he left. He is missed greatly. He can do the work of the total of those 3 techs onboard now and do a MUCH BETTER job at the same time. MT's need/deserve good tech people, as it also has gone by the wayside at TT.
Just speaking the truth as I see it at TT . . . in my eyes . . . been there long enough to have a pretty good vision of the company past and present . . . 
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site. There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry. For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

No, after I read a followup yesterday that said there were apologies and answered Michelle, I realized that and someone said to just get back to work and they were right.. even an apology was too much, plus it would look like I was just tagging along after JMO, which is what you are accusing me of now.
I just didn't understand where the posts went, it was odd, and I wanted to reiterate some things (the point I mentioned earlier, about seeing BOTH sides), but I see it really doesn't matter WHAT I say, you've already made up your mind about me and my motivations without even knowing me. Why am I explaining myself to you? I dunno.
It doesn't matter. Good luck to you and don't worry, God will take care of/deal with me, and I ask him to bless you all too.:)

Would you please e-mail me at jcarros213@aol.com. I "really" need information.

WHY DOES MY POST
On Greenlight Transcription keep getting erased?! 
WHY DOES MY POST??
mine got erased too..I asked a question about eTransPlus and now it's gone???
Above post
Oh my.....I didn't know Wal-Mart had "greaters". I thought they were greeters! I am sure they are hiring though so you should do well there.
Why don't you sign your posts? Are you also the one that said SoftScript is the worst? Wow....there a lot of worsts out there. Guess we will all starve.
Will you post when you do?
Are you a SS transcriptionist? Will you post your acknowledgement of e-mail?
It gives YOU something to post about right?!
What else would you post about?! LOL
I like your post!!
x
To Can't Say: Regarding your post below about
Can you say which recruiter told you that Transcend was buying MQ?
Where did you see this post?
asdf
If you post their name they probably won't get any
resumes. This way they'll probably get a few, but hopefully the MTs will be wise enough to turn them down.
Another good reason not to respond to a blind ad is that it could be the company you are currently working for - or you were working for (LOL).
I appreciate your post...perhaps I used....sm
the wrong word of undercutting, but when I became an MTSO 9+ years ago......a national was charging 13-18 cpl to the client and so I went ONE cent below that, 12 CPL.....and I get the work, have had clients for all this time...and I work for a national part-time....
Thank you for taking the time to type all that....much appreciated!! 
And you might want to post
your message in reply to the correct message. I am not oops.
I have only posted one message in response to this person.
Anyone could post on here and say they are from
Whose to say that poster posing as KS Team Leader or such is not someone specifically out to do KS harm?
For crying out loud, people -- just someone with a mean streak and nothing to do can get on here and cause harm. And the reason they can cause it is because most people on here will believe any post they read.
Now THAT is sad.
