very unprofessional and rude (sm)
and I was able to find much better work for myself, at Proscript.
Even so, it is very unprofessional and rude to not reply back when someone took the time to test!!
Its common when a company supplies
The two I've worked for that supplied computers monitor usage and especially monitor if you're using it for any non-work related surfing. They also reserve the right to come on remotely and check your system for any problems, security violations, unauthorized hardware/software additions, etc. It is their property so I guess they have the right to say how and when it gets used.
They won't. It is common for a company to be bashed into the ground once it seems people are hap
I knew it was going to happen once I saw the positive posts about Keystrokes. Some people obviously get sick thrills from stirring the pot.
I hope they're happy now. I am sure Keystrokes will miss out on some great MTs because they won't apply due to the posts that have been put the last few days.
Can't anyone accept that there really is a good company out there?
The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
You can defend your company without being sarcastic and rude

How is turning you down for a position rude? Are they, or any other company, obligated to give you
No. As a recruiter, I am seeing this more and more. Maybe the hours you were available did not match what they needed. Maybe your equipment or speciality or background did not match. How is it rude not to hire someone? There would be no need for interviews if everyone was just hired because they applied. I did not understand most of this until I started recruiting. The company I work for is spoken well of on this board and then bashed at other times. I see a lot of people that think they are entitled to a position or a shift or a certain account. It is difficult to be on this side.
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
Rude answer to a rude post. nm

3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm
the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee. Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great. VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform. They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

That's not just unprofessional.... sm
it's illegal ! I would forward those emails with a letter of explanation to the Department of Labor. You'll see how fast SS changes their tune. And by the way, if they know who you are by your posts, then the companies and the administrators of this forum are obviously on the same back-stabbing team. Bet this gets deleted before you can say "shove it" !!
very unprofessional
If your oversea MTs are that great, why bother with us Americans? If I worked for your company, I would quit yesterday.
Unprofessional
This is very unprofessional. Imagine If we all knew what hospital you were referring to? This is confidential information and should be kept such, not even funny.
UNPROFESSIONAL
Perhaps the term suck is unprofessional. However, since you are not with FN, perhaps never have been and never will be, I reiterate that I personally never confirmed anything about work or no work. What I said had you read it closely is that as per many companies throughout the US, there are periods of a lull. I never said there was no work and you are quoting out of context. If you seem to have a problem with FN why don't you just go to the source instead of using a public forum to confirm unwarranted comments from others about something they no nothing about.
unprofessional
It's just totally unprofessional for either MT or management...and totally uncalled it.
I think it would be really unprofessional
I think it would be really unprofessional and immature on the part of the company who is sending it around...if they do exist. I also wouldn't want to work for a company who participated in that drama either, either blacklisting people or not hiring people because of it. There are always two sides to each story. It's not fair to not hear the other side or to not give that MT a shot because of what a disgruntled employer has to say.
If I were doing the hiring, I would start questioning the credibility of that company and actually probably see why the MT left/quit/got fired in the first place. It is up to the MT to prove him/herself and if it doesn't work out, well then fire him/her.
I have no doubt that it goes on, especially with smaller/medium MTSOs who are friends. That's just my opinion, though. I know some companies I had worked for had no issue complaining to me about their own transcriptionists incessantly, personal and private matters included, so I have no doubt they ran their mouth to other people in the industry about them. Made me paranoid/wonder what they said about me.
Unprofessional and Same As Before
Recruiter was unprofessional (um, um, um, let me check, um, um...). Told the recruiter that I worked for them 5 years ago and had a horrible experience, rude QA, rude team leaders, inaccurate QA (grade wrong and when pointed out the account specifics, they get very rude), 99% ESL doctors on all accounts. He said they were still the same with the 95% to 99% ESL dictators and didn't know about the rest of the staff problems. Pay was on time, but never received anything worth cashing at the bank due to lousy dictators. If you ask for another account with more American-speaking doctors, they said that all the accounts had the same type of doctors, and they did. I got put on 4 different accounts and had plenty of work but unable to translate the dictation. I personally think that they only get the accounts that other transcription services REFUSE to do. There are a lot of companies out there that have better dictators and more professional/knowledgeable recruitors and more knowledgeable, friendlier and team-oriented QA and team leaders, so please don't waste your time with the same nightmare as 5 years ago.
Rude, rude posters
Hope you rude posters find a good fit for you. Don't run down OSi because some of us like them. No problems either and I have 10 years experience. No newbies here like you say. Love the accounts I'm on. Hope the complainers find a good home, but if not, they will be back and on another company's case.
It is so rude to call QA rude because YOU have
been stuck on QA hold for six months!! And the other poster above - if you are getting QA notes and they are including your supervisor, which you imply is not the norm, then YOU are the one responsible. It matters not if you've been an MT for 1 week or 30 years - if your skills are not up to par, they are not up to par. Many MTs get cleared from QA hold within hours or days at most - companies do NOT want to hold you up from producing, nor do they love to waste their $ on MTs on QA hold. You really need a reality check. And no, I am not rude! It is always, always the MTs lacking in skills who get pissed at QA - no form of feedback is acceptable to that type - even sealed with a kiss and a big bow! 
Rude! Recruiter was very rude to me.
She had an attitude right off the bat.
Unprofessional people
This company is very, very unprofessional. They expect a new hire to know what each doctors wants within a 24 hour period of time. They EXPECT that. They are also very rude in conversations. Just beware.
I don't think I've seen anyone more unprofessional here
than this person. I pity anyone that works for her.
Unprofessional and ridiculous! sm
Unless it is done in conjunction with a real test.
Extremely unprofessional nm
Are you a member of management?
It was just as unprofessional of the poster--sm
above to have asked who had been contacted by this company. The person who requested resumes to be sent has been harassed for the past three days trying to find out a name of the company. I guess she has had enough and I don't blame her. They probably weren't real names anyway. Sheesh!
If you are an MTSO, you are really unprofessional
JMO. 
Very unprofessional, they are not honest, some of their
accounts are horrendous, they offshore but don't want you to know that.
That is extremely unprofessional...sm
It's also very direspectful to one of us. We are all a family of MTs here, so I take this personally!! I think you should post this up top as a separate post so everybody can see it better. They need to know about this company's baby fits if they don't get their way. They wouldn't be making any money if it wasn't for us!!!
Oh brother, how unprofessional are they?
Ask to speak to the QA supervisor and collect all the e-mails you are getting with conflicting ways to nit-pick. Show her the e-mails and tell her you are confused. You would be happy to do what they want, but you are being pulled in different directions. If she is not accommodating, look for another job. Who needs that grief?
I find this all very unprofessional.
start a yahoo group? That would be better than how you are reflecting yourself here. You are showing you're true colors. It is quite obvious you are frequenting this board.
Your pay rate is very low. Your demands are high, and you are not showing anything here but how unprofessional and NOT BUSY you are!
Please save it! You have obviously burned some MTs, and they are not getting past it! So, why do you continue to post? You are like stirring the pot! Your original post was enough. Really it was.... 
P/S: No, I am not an ex-disgruntled IC (really should be employee) with the demands you have on there.
Then, you have the nerve to respond to someone asking about line rates that you charge anywhere from 9 on up, yet your starting rate is 8 for 2nd shift, but you claim you cannot afford to pay more. Shady!
Rolling eyes is quite unprofessional, IMO. sm
Get over it disgruntled. My goodness, did they expect you to do horrible things like to work 8 hours a day and meet minimums? Shame on them for expecting such of a Primadonna.
Precisely. We have had some very unprofessional people sm
and some who turn their editing back in unedited. I will not say the name of the company because I am not a recruiter, just someone who thought I'd help get resumes for the positions. At last count, apparently some people cannot read and we keep getting resumes, the resume count is 179.
Its not Shapin. It is a small midwestern company located in middle America, Illinois.
You can nag all you want, but I have no say in hiring, nor do I have any say in firing.
If you want, I'll list the names of all the people who applied and then you can see who you can contact to see if you know any of them?
I read it. Very unprofessional and childish
but he/she can be that way because he/she did not name the company, which again is very unprofessional and shows that someone has something to hide.
You just took the prize for being unprofessional my dear.
A professional would never take such a minor issue and blurb it on a chat page. A professional would have approached the maker of the typo or would have just looked past it. Pretty sad when you have to stroke your own ego over a typo.
Using people's names is really against the rules and you should not do so. It is unprofessional.
do you? Why do you think it is right to name a person and then slam their name. If you think this is right, then tell me why? It is not right and it should not be allowed.
Lee has been told before..it is VERY unprofessional and raises big red flags sm
when the owner or the KS Lead MT posts rebuttles and tries to defend her company. You and she know full well things were not well with that company for a long time. Sounds like things are turning around but posts like yours only demean..methinks thou doth protest too much Let your reputation be built on happy employees, the sour grapes might be unhappy employees, former employees, people gossiping about what was heard, etc. Do you see ANY other MT company coming here and defending itself? No..I don't either. Think about it. Keystrokes reputation preceeds itself..it will take time for that reputation to be restored.
lousy mgmt/response, unprofessional.
x
Shapin...unprofessional, disorganized, let go without any warnings at all.
I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy!
I'm thinking..unprofessional. First impressions are everything and my impression is....
I wouldn't want to work for someone like that. There would probably never be any way to ever please her. I mean how many of us at one point in our careers thought we were doing a great job only to have a supervisor or someone else tell us our work stinks..It's obviously subjective versus objective opinion. I just think her ad had a very unprofessional and rude tone to it and I am guessing that she has been burned or thinks she has. I just don't think you'd want to portray your attitude upon potential new hires. I will say...the ad did make me laugh, but there is a time and place for jokes and posting as a job ad isn't where you'd want to make people either offended or laugh at you. 
The owner is an unprofessional mental case.
I worked for them years ago. Supposed to be PT to supplement my FT job. Got way too much work (I know with low work flow these days, I shouldn't complain). I sent a very professional and very friendly email stating that I considered PT to be less than 1000 lines a day and that she was sending me too much work. She went crazy waying I was flaming her via email and then called my home phone and left a nasty message calling me a liar and that I should never expect to work for them EVER again.
I knew someone else who worked for Accupro as well. She gave two weeks notice when she resigned and said she would ship the equipment back to the owner after her two weeks. She lived locally to where Accupro's owner lived and the next day the owner showed up at her home, banging on the door demanding her equipment, and told my friend what a fool she was to have quit.
Finally, I had a friend who worked for a hospital that Accupro contracted with to do overflow. The owner was constantly behaving unprofessionally, calling the supervisor demanding to know why they didn't have much work, refusing to accept that the department was simply caught up. When she was reminded that Accupro was contracted to do overflow only, she would attempt to go over the MT supervisor's head. And then would play games with workflow - not returning work to the facility purposely for days at a time.
The woman shouldn't not be a business owner. She is totally unprofessional and feels she owns her ICs, but won't make them employees and got help you if you decide to move on. She becomes vengeful and downright scary!
Okay, this is turning ugly. These kind of comments are unprofessional
If you here work for the company you could be earning money by taking TT up on the big BONUSES this weekend that nobody has mentioned while griping about the headers, etc. um er, how about telling the world that lines and a half are being offered and an extra 50 to 100 in addition. So, why not just put your ugly comments away and get to work!
One word for them..UNPROFESSIONAL. I applied and immediately tested
as they were in a big hurry to have someone hired so I dropped everything, tested, and then NOTHING.. I emailed numerous times asking if they had received my test but they could not even respond to that. The testing was easy and so I just could never figure out why they could not at least say they hired someone else or whatever the reason. I just find them extremely unprofessional (initials KB) if I remember right. I would never work for someone so unorganized anyway.
Wow..you even tested...hmmm. All that shows to me is unprofessional and disorganization.
As much as I hate to get the Dear John, we didn't select you emails, I would rather hear something than nothing. I can handle that kind of rejection but when I waste my time applying, and then they do not even have the common courtesy to respond back on any level. That truly just shows me that I would not work for a company like that. It just gives you a little preview of how they do business.
It is a common
phenomena that QA is inconsistent in any company. One QA gives 100%, the next one gives 75% accuracy, and worse you can get 25%. They ought to standardize QA. Hey what about a QA checking another QA's output...hahahaha....to kinda bring them off their pedestals.
how common is it to not
hear back after resigning (with notice) ME/MT position? What do you do, send another note? Not say anything?
Thanks a lot,
Brit.
is this common?
nm
this is very common
I spoke with one person who was looking to incorporate VR into his business (his parent's business has been operating for about 15-20 years, and he is trying to upgrade them). He said that doctors just don't dictate correctly for VR to work properly.
I know that I had the same problem you had. Did you also notice that the company pays less with Edit mode than typing, so it takes you longer to do to the work and you get paid less, and the company keeps more? It behooves the company to keep the VR; it puts more into their pocket and less in yours, without them having to deal with the headache of making sure the reports are right.
That's more common than you might
xxxx
It's more common than you think.
My sister has a lot of medical problems, including hemophelia A. It is very rare for a woman to have this, but she has it none the less. Anyways, pharmacies have frequently messed up her medications. One time it was the hospital pharmacy after she had surgury. That mistake could have lead to life-threatening complications. My point is that these kinds of mistakes are more common than you think, and patients need to be very proactive with their care.
It is very common
From my recent interviewing process with a many companies, it is very common. I am not meaning the templates that we individually create in our expansions but rather any charcters/heaings, etc. that automatically populate on the screen when you enter a job. I personally can understand not paying us for those characters are technically we did not type them. I just don't understand with the subtracting thing when we do not use them and have to delete them
