I'm sorry but you're wrong. My
name is not snowball (my cat) or Stanley (my dog) and I am no pet. I am just an MT who is supposed to work part time for the company 4 hours a day 4 days a week but end up working a lot more because the account I'm on is always out of control.
You're not doing anything wrong...
Unfortunately there is no way to search for recent posts other than to scroll through each page. If you use the search function at the top of the board, you can only search archived posts which date from about eight months back. Less than eight month post you really can't search other than going through each page - it's kind of a bummer!!
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. SM
I don't appreciate your characterization of my concerns as paranoid. I happen to work in this area, conducting ID theft investigations; I doubt very much that you can claim any expertise on the subject, based on your very ill-informed post.
Apparently, you're not aware of the huge Monster.com incident that is still under investigation and that involved the theft of RESUMES.
Here's a link to enlighten anyone who thinks throwing your resume around willy-nilly is a great idea:

I personally know the new leads and have worked with them for over a year. All are located here and transition is really happening. But Focus does have to live down the past and let the new show what they are gonna do.
Sorry, but you're wrong....
If I'm on the job board, it's because I'm LOOKING FOR A JOB!
You're wrong... sm
Like there's no poverty and desperation in THIS country?
It's NOT about identity theft: That can (and does) happen ANYWHERE.
The reason medical records should NOT be off-shored is because it's taking jobs away from Americans, putting American money into the economies of OTHER countries, and at the same time allowing American hospitals and providers to thumb their noses at HIPAA. HIPAA isn't enforceable in Timbuktu.
You are oh so wrong. They're changing the name and
they're not 'exclusive.'
You're wrong. Never have been paid for OT. Many others
have said the same thing. I don't know how other accounts work, but there is no way to even submit OT on transnet, you can only submit the number of lines.
I think you're taking it the wrong way.
What if a brand new MT happened across MT stars and saw your post. Maybe it was their first time here? What if they thought - hey, great, an opportunity? On an MT board do you really think Transam associates was a well hidden secret that you happened upon? Isn't one of the biggest asset an MT brings with her/him research skills? One only needs to type Transam Assoc in Google and there you have it.
Think of it from that perspective. Let's just hope some new MT didn't happen along that day and see your post and now is on her/his way to being broke and taken advantage of. 
FAIL - You're both wrong....SM
Technically, you are both incorrect. This correct phasing should be:
*If I were the person to whom you were unable to offer a position, then how...*
Wrong use of a couple of words and punctuation in there, ladies.
Carry on...I'm getting some popcorn.
when you can go to Starbucks and get better benefits, we're doing something wrong.. Thanks for fu
That was great!!!
You're wrong. You have posted many times
about QT, always trying to start something. You've even posted things making it sound as if you work there, and you say you don't. Why do you need to know what is going on if you don't work there? Things are well at QT, despite all the garbage a few months ago. They are not hiring so any information about pay, work load, etc. isn't needed.
You're giving out WRONG information!! sm
There are 2 Synthescribes. The one involving Heather Rigsby is based in Tennessee. This is why you just have to trust your on judgment on this board sometimes!
Barbmt - you're wrong. Focus has
always been offshore. They wanted to come onshore but for whatever reason, they are now returning all work back to India. Get your facts straight. We were not paid too much - heck the MT work was horrible, mostly the Indian MTs but also the American MTs. I could have typed them faster than all the time I had to take to fix these mistakes.
you're scolding to the wrong person

Not one account lost in over 3 years. You're wrong. sm
They just chose not to bid on one that went to voice recognition but have had 100% renewal on contracts.

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
Yes, GP is dead serious! S/M
While MT Stars will not voluntarily give out personal information, I seriously doubt they would be inclined to defy a court order. Anyone who thinks their identity is truly annonymous might ought to think again.
It occurs to me that it is very interesting that someone(s) are attacking me as they are. Could be that someone(s) finds it objectionable that I am standing up for MTs who work under the most difficult and unfair conditions of any group since the coal miners? Undoubtedly some MTs have better working conditions than the majority. This board is only one of my sources and the allegations of MTs with 20+ years not being able to find employment, no OT pay, being forced to flex their schedule to get required lines but flexing only to the benefit of the employer, being fired or forced to quit for speaking up, etc. etc. are true in one form or another for the vast majority of MTs. That doesn't even touch the subject of people paying good money to attend MT schools and never being able to find employment. Many do find employment, the majority do not.

Seems like you are kicking a dead dog. (sm)
I assume you have contacted them yourself. Sorry, but I have no idea why they didn't give you work or why you had to pay shipping yourself. I understood the standard was they gave you a shipping label, you called Fed Ex and they picked up and delivered said package.
I assume you did deduct this as a loss from your taxes in the past?
I would! This profession is all but dead
@
You are dead right, my friend
That's right, it did come from an apparently specifically-created email account, so it would not have come back undeliverable. Someone was on the other end of that email account, and apparently the Yahoo Fraud Group contacted them.
Obviously the VP wanted the poster aware of the fact that her 'resignation' had been accepted. In the VPs position, I would have been mortified if an employee informed me they had NOT resigned and that was in fact not their email address. A cursory glance would have proven to the VP that this 'resignation' email came from a different (yet deceptively similar) email account.
I think this entire situation reeks and I hope the OP has all of this documentation printed off and seeks legal counsel. I remember her posting about All Type discontinuing the hourly rate and only paying the per-line rate, and although I have not searched the archives to re-read that post, I certainly do not recall her saying she was resigning because of it, nor do I recall other posted 'rants' as indicated by the 'about seeing an attorney' post. I also do not believe the OP even mentioned All Type by name in her original post about having her hourly salary cut, so I'm wondering how her alleged co-worker even knew that was an All Type employee.
Too many questions with no apparent explanations.
Grammar is dead.
I wish it were not so, because I'm with you - reading some posts almost makes my eyes bleed. I get such stuff from supervisors, from the owner of my company, from friends and it all drives me nuts! I think the advent of ''instant communication'' has killed thoughtful written expression. Don't U disagree? Nobody takes the time to proofread anymore - just bang out a message, maybe run spellcheck, and hit SEND. Nobody sees the point that there is a difference between the word then and the word than. They now are used interchangeably. Gaaag! There, their, they're; to, too - all the same, right?
Its going offshore because so many brain-dead MTs
admittedly don't care if the company they work for offshores. I refuse to work for any company that offshores. I am an AMERICAN and until every American has adequate work, I say, keep our work here. We are being the authors of our own demise by our I have got mine kinds of selfish attitudes.
Beating a dead horse
Not sure about NOW but they used to hire a lot of people M-F who had to work only 1 weekend per month. I chose to work on a weekend day because of more money but a lot of people that were hired still work M-F and rotate weekends.
Dead horse is right, Sharon
These people do not want to listen to reason, do not want reassurance, and quite frankly do want to have to expend the brain cells to LEARN. They'd rather trash the company, VR programs and MTs like us who are successful at it and make good money at it. No point wasting your time or effort.
I say let 'em go...Sounds like TTs better off without them and I'd hate to think I have co-workers of this mentality.
Have a nice dinner out...One of the beauties of working for TT (even on VR, lol) is the extra money for the nicer things in life. At least when all of these posters bail we'll have even more work and even more money to enjoy the finer things in life!
thats 'worth' and...EACH above. sorry, dead hands. NM

Beating a dead horse here, but
If these companies came on here and started naming employees that were bad news, you all would be in a hurry to find a way to make it someone else's fault.
There must be grounds for the poster to be sued by TT or else a lawyer wouldn't have taken the case. Who wins? No one.
The poster allegedly being sued came on here to gather up a herd of followers and then closed her thread. I don't see her posting any longer, do YOU? But, you are here to defend her? For what reason? It makes no sense to me.
Whoever this person being sued in my OPINION has screwed up this board for the last few days. It is nothing but fighting and bashing! That poster is gone with the wind now, probably never to return again and we're all at each other's throats.
Can we please quit beating this horse; it's dead; deader than a doornail!
Your post is so dead-on! Agree with everything you said.

If you looked closely, they were dead on the vine THEN
It was all a ruse, a facade or pretense of caring. It was in an effort to avoid an en masse uprising and, to their credit, it worked.
The ONLY thing given any thought was the amount of $ involved and how long it took to get it to the bank.
Cannot answer TTS posting below- beating dead horse
Very strange, never saw where you could not reply to a posting, but the ones below to TTS are just like that. First of all, baloney to all- TTS is a great place to work, been there several years now, they do not bother you and how, pray tell, think about it, can you possible work at your own home and have someone miles away KNOWING when you take a bathroom break, get a glass of water - that is unless you had been gone for a longgggggggg time. Who is trying to post and pull someone's leg? I think the board has been hijacked.
Alright, no sense in beating a dead horse so
know what I am able to do and sorry you all are faced with something apparently lots are resistant to. I am leaving for the evening to have a nice dinner out.

I can't figure out how to use the shorthand properly (brain dead I guess) (sm)
Maybe I haven't taken enough time to learn it (I can be a bit impatient with myself), but I seem to have a mental block and have about given up. I used to have Smartype with my old system (before DQS) and wonder if it worked with Vianeta. Anyway, anyone out here, what do you use other than the ShortHand that comes with it?

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?
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.

s
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!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)
