You obviously misread the post.

In Reply to: Way I read it, it give MTSO the power to snoop in - my PC. No Thanks! nm
This is the very reason why I directed my post to MTSOs because so many MTs do not take the time to read things in order to get the true meaning of the post.
This in no way allows any snooping. It does not give the MTSO access to your PC. It is simply a diagnostic report that lays out the specs of ones PC. Nothing more.

You misread or misunderstood her post. It isn't
the bank she was worried about having the info but the MTSO having her banking information. Between no check, corrupted file that contained the contract, and the phone being disconnected I would be seriously concerned and keep daily watch on my account. Working without a signed contract isn't a good idea, though having a signed contract isn't foolproof either.
I misread your post - I thought it was about fraud
sorry.
oops - misread post- confused with another

okay. I misread it--sm
I thought it said *you have to go to their train to pick up the loaded computer.* my mistake..sorry. had to ask. thanks
You misread this sm
I said 50 companies, not all of them were nationals.
In fairness to myself, I have had two longstanding IC positions. I always work more than one place, eggs all in one basket thing, and I know you understand this, or should. I'd work PT right along side of these long-held situations. I don't suffer fools gladly and I have a low quotient for putting with crap.
I have had recruiters lie to me. This has happened several times only to get in there and find the work stinks, the voice files are bad, I can't get IT help, the platform is unworkable and no help available, the QA person decides that name calling is appropriate, the owner loses the account, the owner decides that my paycheck is larger than hers and nixes my load, they expect me to work 24/7 or be on-call 24/7 or both, and the worst, as we all know, is running out of work.
Last year, I had one job I have had for years and I worked for 5 other places. One hired me and didn't train me. One hired me and I didn't have to be trained, I knew their system, but getting any type of help...well they never answered IM or emails, but if they needed help they were on the phone once in the middle of the night! Two used Bayscribe and that is fine, BUT one of them had her friend QA my work and when she got through it was full of errors and she would change terminology to English words. These counted against me as an MT and I told the manager about it and she blew me off and it continued to happen while I was berated about the quality of my work that had been through QA... The other I never did work for because of a paperwork problem on both our parts.
The last of these five was okay. It paid very well. I stuck this out for 6 long months. The QA staff was absolutely terrible, had had a total of 6 yrs MT between the two of them and didn't have a clue. The work itself was grueling, but I was doing fine with it...until they ran out of work again, and again and again about every 4 or 5 days nothing and I mean not one single job on the system for any of us all day.
In 2006, I didn't work a single PT job at all and in 2005 I didn't either. Those were good years because I had a lot of work and I was happy where I was at.
When you gotta make ends meet and you are raising kids alone you do what you gotta do.
Sorry - misread
I see it said 65 character. Would still do it for part-time work depending on other details of the job.
I misread what you wrote and apologize.
My response below was a result of my misunderstanding!
My apologies, MtMommyof2!
You misread reponse previous to last
The lead Editor was not the moody, hard to get along with person. Do not now if she is there now though. Stay away from the owner-bipolar/psycho personality.
You misread. The entire MT industry is a
out of hundreds of thousands. Most people that get hired for job get put to work as soon as possible. The MT industry 'hires' people, then twiddles around with them for weeks. The MT is always the very last one in the pecking order, even though they are the ones who actually do the work that the MTSO gets paid for.
misread you, thought already working employee, sorry. NM

I misread that, phew! I couldn't believe the offshore rate was THAT high (yet anyway). nm

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site. There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry. For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

Last post
No, after I read a followup yesterday that said there were apologies and answered Michelle, I realized that and someone said to just get back to work and they were right.. even an apology was too much, plus it would look like I was just tagging along after JMO, which is what you are accusing me of now.
I just didn't understand where the posts went, it was odd, and I wanted to reiterate some things (the point I mentioned earlier, about seeing BOTH sides), but I see it really doesn't matter WHAT I say, you've already made up your mind about me and my motivations without even knowing me. Why am I explaining myself to you? I dunno.
It doesn't matter. Good luck to you and don't worry, God will take care of/deal with me, and I ask him to bless you all too.:)
TO POST ABOVE, AT MQ 6 YRS....sm
Would you please e-mail me at jcarros213@aol.com. I "really" need information.
TIA
This post should have gone under OP.

WHY DOES MY POST
On Greenlight Transcription keep getting erased?! 
WHY DOES MY POST??
mine got erased too..I asked a question about eTransPlus and now it's gone???
Above post
Oh my.....I didn't know Wal-Mart had "greaters". I thought they were greeters! I am sure they are hiring though so you should do well there.
Why don't you sign your posts? Are you also the one that said SoftScript is the worst? Wow....there a lot of worsts out there. Guess we will all starve.
Will you post when you do?
Are you a SS transcriptionist? Will you post your acknowledgement of e-mail?
It gives YOU something to post about right?!
What else would you post about?! LOL
I like your post!!
x
To Can't Say: Regarding your post below about
Can you say which recruiter told you that Transcend was buying MQ?
Where did you see this post?
asdf
If you post their name they probably won't get any
resumes. This way they'll probably get a few, but hopefully the MTs will be wise enough to turn them down.
Another good reason not to respond to a blind ad is that it could be the company you are currently working for - or you were working for (LOL).
I appreciate your post...perhaps I used....sm
the wrong word of undercutting, but when I became an MTSO 9+ years ago......a national was charging 13-18 cpl to the client and so I went ONE cent below that, 12 CPL.....and I get the work, have had clients for all this time...and I work for a national part-time....
Thank you for taking the time to type all that....much appreciated!! 
And you might want to post
your message in reply to the correct message. I am not oops.
I have only posted one message in response to this person.
Anyone could post on here and say they are from
Whose to say that poster posing as KS Team Leader or such is not someone specifically out to do KS harm?
For crying out loud, people -- just someone with a mean streak and nothing to do can get on here and cause harm. And the reason they can cause it is because most people on here will believe any post they read.
Now THAT is sad.
sorry about my post above, was
nm
I think they are trying not to post here except
Still doesn't make any sense at all to come to a public forum and ask these kinds of questions.
I'd be reluctant to hire someone who had no more IQ than to do that.
PS: Just saw the post below, anyone do QA for them?

Thank you for this post!
Your post is 100% correct--disgraceful disrespect for the MT whose skill, experience, and expertise keep transcription companies in business! Unbelievable attitude. Thanks for your post--it is 100% right on!
PS to above post, sm
The accounts are teaching hospitals, acute care, and clinics etc. A mix of ESLs and non-ESLs. Not easy unless you really know your stuff, but good accounts. Good luck.
See my post below -
My experience was different but also bad!
Where's your post?
See post below from 9/27
titled 'Is this weird' - I was talking about Shapin. That may just have been my experience though.
Post the hos name here, someone may be able to tell you where it went.
