You're right - their QA people are insane

There's never been a month that they couldn't find anything on a particular report of mine to complain about so they said that I put a comma in the wrong place just to have a mistake to document.

I'm not posting contracts. You're insane!
I don't care if they don't believe me. I'm the one getting paid. What do I care if they don't believe me? I can understand the problem with others getting hired in at higher rates, but truly that is their situation, not mine.
You're real sharp but not I'm not dull enough to bite that! LMAO
There are a lot of people who know more than they're tell us
People in the industry, other than those of us MTs at MQ, seem to have a idea of what is happening. I have heard from several recruiters, what shame, what MQ is doing to their MTs, or I sure hope MQ recovers, we'd hate to lose them since they were so vital to the success of this industry. EVERY interview I've been on, and there have been A LOT, have mentioned MQ and their future in one way or another. That just happened to be the way OSi mentioned it. I DON'T care, but I also didn't ask about it, the recruiter just mentioned it when talking about my employment history, and since I work for MQ, that is why the name even came up, I guess. Also, another reason could be that OSI is in a suburb of Atlanta, Transcend is based in Atlanta and I live in Atlanta. So, maybe it was for that reason - I don't know, I didn't elaborate because I didn't feel it prudent. But, if someone gave me some insight on something with MQ that I could share with my fellow MQ workers here, I would do it. I posted the info, whether true or not, so everyone could have a head's up. Something definitely is going to happen, there's no doubt there throughout the industry, we just don't know what, when or how.
And if they're looking for 2 people, let me know, too!!
I need something to get through the 'tween weeks with the other lower paycheck.
you know nothing. You're trying to scare people because
No, it IS that they're greedy! These people want
ALL the accounts! At all costs! They think by 'dominating' the industry by taking as many accounts as they can get, that it makes them a better company. But how do they make a profit with those lowball bids? Off the backs of the MT.
Greedy, greedy, greedy, GREEDY!
As long as we're correcting people
Someone could actually be a really fast typist but not a good speller. You should have said Maybe their line rate was low because you couldn't spell well. If you're going to be snide, at least have it make sense.
Everyone's always quick to say that they're "nice people," and they are, but -- sm
they have a horrible platform -- two horrible platforms now, actually -- some lousy dictators, sound quality issues, and the management is very bad when it comes to communication of any sort. Questions go unanswered and issues never get addressed. But they're nice people, for whatever that's worth.
That is insane! Ugh!
No one in America can make a living on that, including those people who offer that pitiful rate. Where are they coming from?
That is so insane!
You'd do better as a Walmart Greeter, Dollar Store Clerk or flipping burgers. All of which are in demand jobs as we all shop there. The offer of 1 cpl is so insane and purely shameful! You would even get better pay than 1 cpl sitting home on your couch collecting welfare. That company just irks the life out of me for this and I don't even know who they are.

Obviously, you're all nice people - both companies are blessed to have you
 I've seen so many ugly remarks on this website that I was actually afraid to even post for opinions - but each and every one of you have been honest and most of all respectful. I didn't get the response - look in the archives. I think that is a rude and nonchalant response. To answer the question and give YOUR opinion, shows concern. This is a difficult field and somehow instead of cutting each other down, we need to pull together. I'm taking this opportunity to thank each one of you who took the time to respond. 
That's an insane analogy.
We're not talking trying something that "may" taste good to some. We're talking people's livelihoods here. Some can't afford to just "try it" if they're living paycheck to paycheck.
That's the most insane thing I have
ever heard in my entire career! I wouldn't believe anything that came out of OSI's mouth!
That pay is insane. No one could live on that.
xx
Obviously they don't have bills to pay. Insane.
Any service that offshores has US QA people. We're the ones stupid enough to take these jobs
and clean up their mess!
They're kind of new. Older posts had people having difficulty with them. nm
s
Plus, their QA on the account you mentioned is INSANE
If you're not one of their personal favorites, they will keep picking, picking, picking, tearing your work apart making sure you have at least a few errors - you know earth-shattering, life-threatening ones like putting a comma somewhere they don't approve of, just to make SURE you don't get that highest pay rate. Then next time you change it to what they said it was supposed to be last time it's wrong that way too - you have to have mistakes on your reports you know!
Power trip from hell, and messing with people.
No thanks.
That is INSANE!?! No wonder things are so effed up~ nm

You have to use their puter, do 1200 lpd at a low rate, and they're slow and nasty getting people

If you ever worked for Spheris, you are classified as insane.

This industry is insane... they treat you like garbage and ...
you get no respect... here is the deal... many women want to work from home to be there for the kids... the MTSOs know this and push what anyone will put up with to the limits. It ain't worth it.
do not believe anything the lying management posts. They are insane and ridiculous.

Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th

No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're an IC, you pay all your taxes. Otherwise you're an SE or employee. nm

If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.
The face we're wising up is exactly why they're

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
You're right on it! They're just trying to cause panic.
