Why would anyone divorce their best friend?
Don't most legitimate psychologists and relationship experts say that couples should be best friends? I don't have a horse in any race and am just reading this board, sifting through the posts and trying to get a feel for who's credible and who isn't. Your post just isn't passing the sniff test and is borderline bizarre, making me wonder how your ex could possibly help a stranger if you're an example of what happens when he spends extended time with someone. 
Getting the worst shift and worst work are two different things...
If you are new, you may not get the best shift, but everyone should share in the difficult work. No one person should be stuck with ESLs because they are new. Maybe the new hires won't get first pick of holidays...things like that, but shouldn't get stuck with all ESLs. Doesn't make sense.
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 ;)
brings back old memories . . .I certainly don't miss it!!!! 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.
Ther e is a IT company in California who brings workers
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.
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. 
Worst of the worst...I agree with RUN
Please - don't learn the hard way! You will only waste your time and run the risk of not making anything to boot unless you have a relative who is a big city lawyer. Under the sugar coating is something very bitter.
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

Please do not go there. It is the worst!

MDI-FL is the worst of them all.

Worst than the 1st one, can't believe she did it again!

I don't think it's the worst
If you're fast, you might just make production.
No they are not. They are the worst

Worst
Transcription Relief Services. It may be better now, but was absolutely the worst when I was there.
WORST ESL
Ever and the first time I transcribed one, I was given 91% QA on the document. Not to happy about that.
DSG IS THE WORST EVER!!!
Another company who starts off great and then turns nasty! I planned on retiring from there in about 10 years. I actually worked for them for more than 3 years. With their massive expansion a few months ago came really rude e-mails or no response to questions, being switched on accounts with VERY different specifics endlessly, IM messages to interrupt your day for their endless *emergencies,* etc. I produced big time for them and had an outstanding QA record. They abused my good nature one time too many. I am happy where I am right now. THEIR loss!!
DSG for sure is the WORST...
I like when management BEGGED us to go on MTstars and post positive things, because they are getting bashed so badly... and I know for fact that one of the higher ups told me that she goes on and posts and changes her initials... so all of this happy, feel good stuff is probably from the people at the home office...
It is not "THE WORST"!
Please, give it a try. I love it and I work out of the Dallas office. I have a couple of friends that have worked out of other offices and were not exactly thrilled, but I think the Dallas office is the best.
Definitely the worst at communication!!
If you have problems, oh well.. If you have a complaint, oh well... If you check is always penalized, oh well... If you have realized that the line counts NEVER add up with ANY program, oh well.. Now, you get the idea. They could care less. There is a reason why people from other countries should not run an American business. They have no idea what your saying or care and you cannot get through to them in PLAIN ENGLISH because they do not understand that language. They only understand "PENALIZE" that is their favorite word. I am sorry but I had to vent.
The worst part is...
I've been there a long time, took their crap, worked extra when asked, always had quality above 98.5, always made my line count, worked the last 2 months straight because they were behind, now there is hardly any work, worked all the major holidays for the last 2 years and this is how they repay that kind of loyalty. It makes me sad and I feel like a fool for being used for so long. All I want to do is type and do a good job. It won't be rewarded there unfortunately. I'm worried about going from the frying pan to the fire but it can't get worse than the above can it?
I thought they were the worst. (sm)
After I was hired and before actually beginning transcription with them, I had an inkling it wasn't going to be nice when I was mailed account specifics including lots and lots of QA memos with things like HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE THIS?!!!! and countless similar things. It may have just been one or two people, but that kind of thing is infectious in a QA department.
As far as the accounts, not just ESL, but the worst quality ESL I've ever encountered.
The owner was known for her rants on another well-known bulletin board. She also said she wouldn't sell, so when she did, naturally people were upset. Of course it was her right to sell, but those kinds of promises should never be made.
I count them as one of my worst experiences. I left after a short while and never regretted the decision. I was only sorry that I had to put such a stupid-sounding name of a company on my resume when looking for a real job.
Their accounts are the worst! nm
Yes. Not the best but not the worst. The best thing is that I do not
run out of work, and I am a high producer. That is very important to me.
The worst thing is that most of these SM
companies actually work to hire and keep the 2nd set--the ones who really don't want to be there. The rest of us, well we can hit the road if we don't like it--that's why we have to hop around so much.
my worst is in sacramento..sm
He speaks clearly, but he has this irritating habit of, after dictating for about five minutes, stopping, and saying no, don't say that, say... and then I have to erase everything I just typed and start over again. I have begun charging extra lines for this, though, because after all, I did type it. It was not my fault he had to have it erased. grrrr...
The platform is one of the worst
go down. If you need help with tech support, you have to email them and it takes hours, sometimes days for them to get back to you. Then sometimes your report does not show up on the line counter and you have to notify tech to get paid, because somehow it did not go through and another MT typed the same report.
Any account you go on will eventually be on VR, and they only pay half your line rate, the standard is 4 cpl for VR. The program is not user friendly.
No matter what they tell you when they hire you, they will eventually put your account on VR, and it can take months and months to get it down because the system does not seem to learn. Also, my training, well they kind of throw you to the wolves.
Also no production incentive, etc. On VR, it can take longer to edit the report than to type it. You can expect your checks to drop when they switch you to VR. All they will tell you is to be patient and it is a learning curve, keep trying, etc., etc., etc. In the meantime, your bills get behind, you can't afford things.
I am sorry I went with this company and am hoping to get out.
My worst experience ever was with her.
Isn't it funny how some find a home where others run? Maybe it was timing. Who knows? I would not recommend taking a job with her but sounds like some are quite happy and treated well.
Good luck!
your worst enemy...
...is AHDI (formerly AAMT - note the absence of American in the new name)...while you are educating the public about Homeland Security violations, AHDI is going to be ACTIVELY working against you, facilitating & promoting CMT certification of offshore MTs (& making a ton of money doing it) & using their significant political and financial clout to globalize medical transcription under the noble-sounding rubric of Contributing to Global Commerce or some such malarkey. In the end, they have totally pulled one over on us--started out as an educational organization, more or less; exponentially grew their membership; & while no one was looking, ceased being an educational organization and became a political organization -- entirely switching their focus to the support of offshore outsourcing. Meanwhile, the MTs to whom they trafficked the CMT certification now appear to agree with their political stance simply because they are affiliated with the organization.
There are only 2 reasons I can think of for an organization to so completely betray its membership ideologically: Money & Power. Not necessarily in that order, & probably both.
Needless to say, I didn't renew my CMT certification & don't plan to ever again.
Worst Company
I too feel your pain about losing your account to India, but unfortunately it will be inevitable that everyone will lose their account to India at some time or another with this company. It seems with them, they use the US MTs to gear those accounts up for the client, make their work look really good, while in the background training the India MTs to take it over one day, and they usually do. Spheris is the worst company out there. If every US MT would just not work for them anymore, it would be a perfect world...wouldn't it!! Unfortunately, that will never happen, hence Spheris living on and screwing yet just another MT over and over again in the process. My sympathies to all MTs that have to stoop to try make a living at Spheris, I will only hope for you all that you find a better company that appreciates you and your hard work one day!!
Yes, they are by far the worst place I
have every worked.
Worst company ever!!!
I worked for Cymed for almost 2 years, but they were bought out by SPi in the summer of 2006, and things really went downhill after that. I left a year ago, and it was the best decision I have ever made! I hear that things are even worse there now than they were when I was there. They treat their MTs horribly and don't even pay for spaces. There are MUCH better companies out there to work for! You will get totally screwed over by this company.
SoftScript is the worst I ever saw
.
I would not wish MQ on my worst enemy! Was there for
almost 10 years and can't think of 1 nice thing to say except that I'm not there anymore. Can't help you with Webmedx, but they must be better than MQ. Best of luck to you.
they certainly aren't the worst
I asked my supervisor about the tiered pay scale a while back and they told me that it was to encourage more production out of us because it is easier to manage 1 of us typing 15000 lines a pay period than 3 of us typing 5000 lines a pay period. As far as all the hiring lately, I heard they have a lot of new accounts coming on.
I don't agree with everything they do, but I've been with most of the big names and eTrans is way better than any of them. I can actually get my work done most days without even hearing a peep from anyone at the company other than the occasional email.
Would be my worst nightmare also. NM
I can't imagine why anyone would apply for a job like that.
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

MQ Dallas Office - THE WORST
The worst section to work for is the Dallas office!!! Get anywhere but there. They don't know what their doing and they are the ones who never EVER get back to you with a question!!! Not a single one!!
TransHealth is absolutely the WORST -- You will
This is a known fact by many MT's !
Stop being so pompous. Some of the worst MTs are US MTs.
.
ESL's are killer, worst I ever worked on SM
Disagree about email. They leave you alone to do horrible work.
My worst experience in life.

Worst radiology accounts I ever had - sm
There was more changing screens, adding patient demographics, and typing in yet another screen, that it took longer to set up the report than to type it....awful accounts and sound quality. I hated it.
