In Reply to: hateful... - eyetype
about racial prejudice - really shocking, and someone named eyetype was proudly gloating and calling herself a string of things of which I can only recall old hateful bigot, but she was gonna get a new attitude, or something to that effect. Whole thing now deleted, conveniently, but I actually made a sticky note to remember who it was that said these horrible things. Now that's a HUGE spot to reach in my world - SO BAD that I would put a sticky note anywhere! I have never done that before in my life, and there are some ugly posters around these here woods!! I wanted to be sure to steer clear of you and NEVER forget what you said, you or the other eyetype?

hateful owner, hateful managers, awful company. You'll hate it. period
xx
My experience was UGLY. Very ugly.
Just keep your other job until you're sure....good luck.
hateful...
What on earth are you talking about? How did you extrapolate "bigot" out of my reply to the OP? I am not a bigot, have never been one and will never be one. I posted yesterday on a thread about watching attitudes - something every thinking person should do. S/L yours could use some adjusting.
Good Grief - you people are like a flock of vultures.
Hateful?
Some people just like to get on here and complain complain about a previous employer. Put the shoe on the other foot. Doing any kind of management, editing or QA is not a glamour job nor does it make that person the most beloved in the company. Perhaps some people just do not fit in with a particular program. What is perceived as belittling to one, might be totally opposite to someone else and totally appreciated. I am often on the receiving end of feedback and I welcome it. As for nervous types, take some Xanax and take a nap. Its a business people, not a popularity contest. Just do it right the first time, everyone will be happy and you'll be left alone.
Hateful?
Yes, but there's a difference between constructive criticism and demeaning emails. Since you aren't in my shoes, you can't relate, but I feel there's a certain level of professionalism that should be maitained by all, and some people in management lack it. You're right, some people just may not fit, and if that is the case, take care of it sooner rather than later. I welcome feedback too, but I do not appreciate demeaning emails from management. I've received lots of feedback in my time, and most of it has been constructive, but I've received some of the destructive sort of feedback (if you want to call it feedback) as well, and I can relate to the OP. You don't have to agree; you are entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.
I don't understand why you're directing your post at me. I don't feel I fit your stereotype of people who like to complain and complain. I'm not that type of person. It's just nice to have a place to vent, and it's nice to know that I'm not alone in some situations. I have a feeling that's why a lot of people post. We can read what we want and ignore the rest. We all have that option.
Why are you so hateful?
The OP was asking about job opportunites...she did not ask to have her work speed critiqued! I get so sick of you dinosaurs who say Oh, I have been doing this for 100 years thinking that just because you have been doing MT a long time, it means you can insult others. There is absolutely no sense in it. Don't you have anything else better to do with your time than sit there and think of ways to hurt someone's feelings? There is being blunt and then there is just being plain rude. Since you think you are so smart, it looks like you would know the difference!!!
Wow, you are one hateful person.
I think you are the disgusting one.
Not being hateful, it's true.
It happened about 2 years ago. A bunch of people came on here and bashed them real bad about line count methods and everyone who worked there was told not to do it anymore or lawyers would get involved. I don't work there and never did. I'm not bashing them at all. Just recall that happening and now no one at all says much bad about them. They keep it to themselves.
You are right. No hateful replies at all.
Especially since it is also the trend to use VBC virtual black character (no spaces) for line counting. There was an article on the web by FutureNet showing how it words and comparisons.
You are completely hateful. nm

pretty hateful sounding
I reread my posts and I said Fine that I understood what you were saying was rude. I was just commenting about the line count issue at Transcend, giving MY opinion. I have yet to see in any of my posts anything rude or sarcastic towards you. I don't understand why your posts to me have an accusatory or rude context to them. I disagree with you on certain issues that we have talked about here. There is nothing wrong with that. I understood and understand what you thought was rude. Okay, get over it! I am done talking about that, I was just trying to give my opinion about the company. I could care less about having the last word or not. I just want to give my opinion that happens to represent a fair amount of MTs out there who happen to be happy at their company. Sorry if that bothers you to the core!
I learned the hard way that when someone is so hateful like
this is because they are in the wrong and can't accept it and have to blame everyone and the brother for it. Sounds like OSi and she deserve each other.
Offered you a job but was hateful and condescending?
About what?!?!? Details! Details! LOL! This is too good.
I'm being hateful to complete strangers?
you've got it all figured out, now don't you? Guess you told me, huh?
Are you dyslexic by any chance, or just in a rush to judgment? The first 10 years of my career, I was an in-house MT with great pay and benefits. We were respected employees in the hospital and I enjoyed a reputation as being a top-notch MT....that's how I got a 30% raise with free benefits at Baylor College Medicine and later at Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, working during the hey-day of heart transplant advances made by such world-renown doctors as Dr. Denton Cooley and Dr. Michael DeBakey. You may have heard of them. So you see, I never really considered myself a failure, having been in the position to have the privilege of being a part of that. I guess I needed you to bring that to my attention.
After outsourcing, I maintained my connections to the Baylor and the TMC through my accounts and typed my way through ground-breaking AIDS research and later pioneering advances in plastic surgery. Silly me. I didn't measure my success in terms of dollars and cents, worldly possessions and the like. I took great pride in my work (still do) and learned to struggle through the love/hate relationship I had with it. At least I had the satisfaction of knowing that I was a part of something that was intelligent, important, worthwhile and helpful to others. I stayed in it for the only real reason I have ever understood throughout the years...quality patient care. I had a contribution to make to that. You see, dear, it was not an industry to me...it was my calling.
My post was an attempt to address the unnecessary hate part of that relationship. My comments were not directed toward some mean-spirited stranger in need of a self-righteous superiority fix, but feel free to trounce me to your heart's content. I did not put in all those years of hard work to be run out of the profession by theiving subcontractors or the likes of you. I had a story to tell and a message to deliver to the penny pinching TTD scavenger, no more, no less.
Your judgmental, snide and trite observations are too petty to merit further comment, except to say that you need to reserve the pity party for yourself. You are the one who has made a sad and meaningless commentary here, not me.
I work for Keystrokes and I am not heartless or hateful...
I think the other posters just had horrible, horrible experiences with this person when she was there and they are just still very angry...sometimes anger makes you say things you don't necessarily mean...they are just trying to stick up for a good company and not let one disgruntled former employee badmouth them...
That's pretty hateful. From what I have read the complaint is not just VR but a sm
lack of work, and a seeming lack of caring on the part of mangement regarding what the MTs are facing. I hate VR, but I was not one of those who hated the advent of WP or anything new -- quite the opposite. I love new things and new technology! But VR benefits no one but the company and MTs who do not type fast. I could type the report myself much faster than I could edit the garbage put in front of me. So ... great ... I could spend the same amount of time and get half the money. And you wonder why they are upset?
Fortunately, I no longer work there, although my work at KS has dried up so much I wonder what is happening there. Fortunately, I have a couple of other jobs, but everything makes me nervous nowadays.
Hateful remarks usually arise after someone from the company in question
and people get sick of it. Sorry, but it's true. Yes, people do get very angry and probably post things they shouldn't but when you see someone on here posting 24/7 and it's obvious where they're from and what they're up to it really starts to grate on your nerves like Chinese water torture.
Information people gather from this board also includes warnings from former employees of companies about their past experiences and observations and I've used that information many times myself. It's a life-saver.
Eyetype is proud of herself - on other posts she calls herself an old hateful bigot or
something to that effect. I just totally avoid anything with her name in it - such a waste of eye sight. Obviously, her husband, if she ever had one, checked out on her, and she's a miserable evil person. Poor thing, though its hard to feel sorry for her when she's so ugly.
What a hateful post. Hope your rant made you feel better. nm

IMO, it's just easier to be rude hiding behind the guise of a screen name. The hateful ones here
It's likely that the hostile MTs that constantly spew negative remarks are the same ones who are too passive to speak up for themselves in the real world. They are basically cowards that take crap all day then come here and anonymously take their pinned up frustrations out on everyone else.
I have seen this on many message boards, but for whatever reason, MT Stars is the absolute worst for this. Isolation must be a huge factor. Some of these gals just need to get out once in a while. JMO
We were not ugly
We were not ugly. Stacy came on and stated that her two most important factors in chosing a company was to have a computer provided and to have paid maternity leave and that was in CAPS. She did not state that she was wanting to earn more PTO time and to use that, she wanted to be PAID after having a child. At 4 hours per pay period that is 12 days a year and that is pretty norm for this profession. Like I told Stacy, would you pay a babysitter or a nanny when they wanted six weeks off and you had to pull in someone to do their job so you were paying double and earning the same income. It is really hard to provide benefits and a decent pay in this field. Yell at me all you want, but the balancing act is very hard to do. And like the prior poster also said, the companies change so often between merges, buy-outs, and out sourcing that what you sign on for in 2006 probably won't be the same in 2007 or 2008 for sure. So if stability is what Stacy wants, I think that she needs to look elsewhere like a union job or a state/city or county position where it is spelled out in black and white what she will receive for the next three years. We did not mean to make you feel bad but again, you posted several times about maternity leave and we are not mind readers you should have posted need to accrue PTO at a faster rate. But we were not nasty or ugly and just stated the facts in this field.
bad and ugly.

Not sure why you have to be ugly
What was the purpose of the very nasty responses to this question? I happen to agree w/ the original poster on this and see no reason for why you had to be so hatefuly in replying. Did it make you feel better? Do you talk to your employers, friends, families, etc., this way?  If so, I must say I feel sorry for you AND them.
Why do you have to be so ugly about it?!?!
I did not take it as this person ripping apart any company at all. They were just stating what so many on this board have stated many, MANY times and in a sense they are correct. It does not take much to set up an automated reply, trust me if I can do it, anyone can. I just don't understand why people have to attack others on this board when they are simply just stating THEIR opinion, if you don't like it then stop reading and move on to another post, it's that simple.
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly. sm
I left KS a few months ago after having a near nervous breakdown. I had too much going on in my life and thought that it would be better to go work in a hospital.
The Good: They are growing, have very stable accounts and keep all their customers. Pay is on time and there is direct deposit. The rules have become clear in what is expected of you. They are very personal.
The Bad: The insurance is terrible and expensive but I heard they are getting BC/BS in the fall for sure. The pay used to be late here and there for a few days. It is fixed now and has been for a very long time. The growth caused some changes that did not work and more changes were made to correct the problems caused, which seemed like chaos from the outside looking in.
The Ugly: They went through some terrible growing pains a few years ago and have been dodging bullets from former employees. There were late checks and no direct deposit. There was not a lot of work because they overhired.
The diagnosis: Once they got over the hump several months ago, things evened out and have been for a while. I want to go back but I'm afraid they won't take me.
How do I know all this? My best friend still works there and is very, very happy. I made a mistake leaving but now my life is on an even keel. I made a lot of money there.
Ugly. Dont even consider it.
They profess to be a good fine Christian organization but they are FAR from it.
DRC good, bad, ugly?
Any info i.e. are they good to work for or anything would be appreciated.
99% good, No Bad, No Ugly ... sm
Except for a short period of time when work ran low on one account only my experience has been 99% good. No place is perfect, but I have absolutely no complaints. The people treat me like a human being, I love the platform, the sound quality is great, they pay the long distance bill, the benefits are superior. Best move I ever made.
Wise
wow...it can get ugly in here....Well MTSO,
keep on speaking highly of your MTs, and probably best that she not visit this board. It seems our profession has taken a negative turn somewhere along the road.
Good luck with many more new MTs to come in the future.
the good, bad, and ugly
I was wondering if anybody out there would be willing to give the good and bad about what company they work at, or used to work at. I'm trying to figure out who it would be worthwhile to send resumes to and who I should just stay away from. I'm interested in the management, scheduling, line requirements, pay rate, benefits, and provided equipment. I'd greatly appreciate any info you have. Thanks!
Good, bad or ugly about Webmedx??? NM
X
X-Press: The good, the bad and the ugly?
Any recent info appreciated.
The QA is okay on my account, no ugly comments, but
sometimes when you have a specific question you don't get an answer or it takes days. We have 5 QA people and each one had their quirks and interpretation, so while you may be doing something one way because one QA person said to, the next QA person may tell you to do it differently. You never know who will be doing your QA at any given time so you stand a change of being wrong a percentage of the time and occasionally they have made changes that were not correct. Not a major issue usually, unless you make a lot of errors, and then it affects your line rate.

MTS of Texas..the good, the bad, and the ugly..sm
Good: Pay on time, but the amount is almost always incorrect. Bad & Ugly: Pay by the minute. Owners will tell you it equals out to be the same as being paid by the line. NOT. They use Meditech - a very antiquated version of it. QA dept. is laughable (i.e., close enough, just leave it out). Little to no IT support. Owner recently sold the company to her son.
Transcend...good bad and ugly
Would like any current info on them.....Got hired and would like to know if it is worthwhile to take the job or not.
Thanks!
