from someone asking if was me posting here tonight, so I came to look.   I agree with a lot that the poster has to say but I post my name when I post.  Anyone who knows me or of me knows this.  I do not have to post behind anonymous names nor do I. 

I do disagree with some of what this poster says though and will take a moment to tell her/him something:  You chose to run a service and knew or should have known what you were getting into.  If you are doing all that, you should either hire more people or hire different people.  The best move I ever made as a service owner was learning to delegate and hiring the right people including Human Resources, Accounting, Operations, QA, Recruiting and IS.  (The second best move I ever made was to stop letting the posts on the MTStars and others affect me).  Best advice I could give a service owner is to cough up the money for a good staff; it is worth it in the long wrong although hard in the short term.

While not everyone agrees with me or likes me or wants to work with Keystrokes, I do not feel a need to hide behind the anonymous nature of these boards and would rather have people know where I stand than wonder.

You would also know that I value our transcriptionists and know that as a company, Keystrokes constantly tries to improve.  If you know me at all or anything about Keystrokes, you would also know that our rates are going up not down and we do not undercut prices to beat our competitors. 

If anyone has anything to say to me directly, please use my email.  I do not visit here often anymore and do not plan on starting again as it gets a bit addicting :)

job posts advertising pay of less than .05 cpl.  Even for a new MT, anything less than .05 cpl is entirely too low even as a learning wage.  We welcomed the company to repost offering .05 cpl as a learning wage of pay.

and the MQ board has a post from Goldbird stating that there is no proof of such.

If it is true, it wouldn't be the first time. Secondly, it wouldn't be much of a surprise since it's been all over the business news that Philips (the majority stockholder) announced it wants to sell.

As a current employee of MQ, I certainly don't think things can get much worse at MQ, so maybe a new owner would be a good thing. Fortunately, I have a backup plan and can just sit back and watch this one play out.

I would have to assume it is because Davis supports mtstars although Davis has never advertised for employment here.  They use the 'other' MT job site.

Pay has never been on a timely schedule and comes late no matter what is said differently.  There have been many instances of bounced checks.  Because of that and problems being able to have work every day, I left there.  The pay scale was just re-vamped so I don't know what kind of money can be made.  That'll have to be answered by someone else.  Maybe with the new payscale payment will be able to be made on a regular, timely schedule. 

Things are always changing so who knows?  Maybe it would be a good fit. Good luck.

but it was removed.  Glad I got the chance to vent and that 11 people got to read it.

Posts below regarding Proveros have been removed due to report coming in:

REASON: is Defamatory
COMMENTS: If you could please review this thread and remove it it would be greatly appreciated. It is untrue and paints Proveros in a light that has already proven to be extremely damaging to our reputation, business and recruiting efforts. Therefore I again formally that you remove this thread as soon as possible. Should you wish clairification or further information to substantiate our assertions please let me know.

Please be assured we are not taking sides here, however, if it is potentially damaging we cannot allow untrue defamatory comments be posted.  If you have verifiable proof, you may contact admin and request to post this information, but for the time being I am removing the posts. 

Thanks for understanding. 

I removed the thread about the recruiter as it was too identifying.  Some even used initials.

I want to point out two things: 

1.  Everyone is allowed to post their opinions.  If you disagree, say so, but do so without the name-calling.  It doesn't matter if you are supporting or disagreeing, stop the name-calling.

2.  If you post your name or list any moniker at all, do not be surprised when someone uses it.  This is a public open forum.  Anything you post is open to reply.  If you don't want your information used by others replying to you, then just don't put it out there.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

I removed the MDI-Transcend post because the original poster as well as replies contained language and names.  Do not post employee names.  Do not use foul language or reference it at all.  Just leave it out.

There was a job post for Data Entry and Coding yesterday from telerecruiting@sbcglobal.net and today it's not there. Why? Also, has anyone EVER heard of Excalibur Remote Workforce Job services?

people.  First was Lee's SIL and that was Sheri.  She was let go.  Not sure why.  Next was Karen.  She was NOT Lee's SIL.  Another Karyn is a Keystrokes manager, and mine, and she is Lee's SIL on the other side.

What difference does it make if someone is related to someone or not?  There have been three HR people since I worked there.  One was great but went to help her own husband with his business.  How do I know this?  She was at the Christmas party in December and told me.  She is still on good terms with everyone.

Sheri was obviously in her position as a family favor.  Karen was just the wrong person to be in there.  I heard from Lee that she is a great transcriber but the position was not a good fit.  I know that she and Lee parted ways but I know that Lee has no ill feelings towards her. 

As I said before and will say again:  Get your facts straight.
