The post on the other site is by the owner. It is there signed
by her for anyone to read which shows that much of what that poster said is true and she has also posted before about the time they had to cut pay. I believe she genuinely wants things to change and is trying but she did post this on a public board about the pay problems, the plans, as well as whatever else was on her mind and it is there to be read by all so when you say what you just said, the owner posted all of the information that shows that poster was right on with what they said.
Wow, I didn't know the owner would get on here under different names and post
I guess that explains it all. My experience wasn't the best and I know I'm not alone. No wander there are lots of positives, had no idea the owner did that.
Here is a copy of the owner's post the last time the help-wanted ad was listed;
I would like to comment on your posts, as it is my help-wanted ad you are discussing. I have attempted to put as many details into my ad as possible, in order to answer all possible questions anyone might have before applying. My ad is not meant to be overbearing, rude, or pushy, but I realize it might appear that way to others because of all of the fine details I have written into it. I have amended the ad many times over the years due to certain situations that have occured. The part about if you love animals is due to the fact that I had a Transcriptionist working with me, who later told me that she did not like animals. Since she did not like animals, it reflected in her work, which is probably because the work did not hold her interest.
I have read a lot of really vicious posts about myself and my company, none of which I feel are justified. I am sure I have hurt some feelings when returning test results and when informing others that they do not appear to be compatible with the current position, but I have always been diplomatic in my emails and polite when conducting phone interviews.
I would like to set the record straight and let everyone know that I do NOT send out real work, hoping someone will do my job for me. When I test someone, they are typing actual dictation files, but the reports have already been typed and returned to the clinic. When testing potential applicants, I only send out two small dictation files at the most (sometimes only one), and the person below is obviously confused, or is blatently lying.
Also, regardless of what some people might be saying/thinking, there are at least four new clinics that open each year. In the past six years, I have had five people leave their jobs voluntarily for their own personal reasons. My newest ad is posted because I have been short-handed for some time now due to all of the unexpected clinics thrown at me and because I recently had a transcriptionist pass away unexpectedly.
I personally take the time to train each new person, and I can only handle training one person at a time because I have many other duties during the day, such as invoicing, payroll, emails, phone calls, typing the work from my own assigned clinics, etc. It takes at least one month for each new person to feel comfortable enough to go on their own with the work, so I am constantly behind on getting all of the clinics covered. As soon as one transcriptionist is out of training, I post my help-wanted ad and start all over again. Believe me, I would like nothing more than to hire someone and put them on their own right away, which would make my life a lot easier! However, the vet group I type for is very picky, which I can only blame on myself because they are spoiled and accustomed to having things done a specific way.
I could write a book in trying to defend myself and my company name, but, unfortunately, I no longer have the time to chat with other transcriptionists like I used to do years ago. My main reason for posting a response is because I realize these posts will remain on the board for a very long time to come, and I am hoping potential applicants are not deterred from applying because of what has been posted at this site. 
Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
I know the owner pretty well and having seen her work, I'd....SM
... definitely give it a shot if I were looking. Go for it!
Yes, I work there...The owner and QA and everyone else is very nice.
xx
The owner of the company I work for says she will never sell but I doubt anyone could
pass up millions if put in front of them. I couldn't, that's for sure. A nice island somewhere with someone to bring me slushy drinks :)
Old posts say the owner is nasty and they run out of work all the time. Don't like workaholic
s
Decent place to work - the owner is fair and reasonable.
I have known GG, the owner, for a long time. I worked for her as an IC and never had a problem, except for the no work syndrome, but that was about 5 years ago. Hope they are busier now.
If I had to go back and work for a company, JLG would be the place.
I am a remote employee directly for a hospital now, so no need to work for a company.
I can vouch for JLG anytime. Pay is always on time, their staff is friendly and professional, never had a problem with QA.
Wow. This board continues to stun me. I don't even work there and feel bad for the owner. sm
I have a few friends who work for Keystrokes and have had the owner do a lot for them. They make good money and she has helped one of them out of a bind more than once. Should my hospital ever outsource, I would go running to Keystrokes.
Why is it ok to attack a person on here? Why must everyone be nasty so often?
It seems that every company has people like you that come on and go on and on. Why? Don't you have anything better to do?
I would hope that there is a way for companies to be warned about so many of the trolls on these boards. I'm sure they talk among each other and know who you all are. At least I hope they do. As a hospital supervisor, I would hate to have you work under me.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Can't post there if you don't work there nm

The post above is not from me. I work for Transcend, not MDI
I've been doing my best to stay away from these boards because I find myself being drawn into arguments or having to defend myself for what I say, feel, or experienced. I already apologized for my part in the argument the other day, so why do you feel the need to drag me into another one? I still stand by my assertion that the posts by disillusioned and myself were blown out of proportion by a select few in an effort to change the subject, and it worked quite well. You should feel very proud of your efforts. For a person who is so adamant that it is only the negative posters causing the problem, what is your excuse now for trying to stir something up? Like I said, I don't even work for MDI - I work for Transcend. This post wasn't from me. Lots of people know how to use the bold and color font function above. If you know word processing, you know the text effect functions.
Believe me, you made your point the first time you bashed me for talking about my experience. I really don't want to go through it again and, although flattered, I really don't want a stalker either. You won okay? I will never, ever speak of any of my experiences about Transcend again, good or bad. So, please, just leave me out of your future bashings. Thank you.
Like I said I don't proof every post on here. As far as my work goes,-sm
I proof everything I send in. I retract my statment about you being an embarrassment to the MT community; you are actually an embarrassment to the human race.
I don't think so. If you were, you would be willing to post where you work. Still haven't se

They post because someone WILL in fact go to work for them -
Sad but true.
I don't work for TT, was responding to the post
about being slow everywhere. Never said I worked for TT.
No wonder you post anonymously and work at home.
With that personality. Lash out irrationally lately?
Please work on your typing skills - your post has so
flexible, not flexable Spheris, not Spheirs MedQuist, cap the Q appreciated, not appriciated Also, it would be, ... with flexible hours (for those sleepless nights). ... I think if you will have difficulty finding and holding a job with those kinds of mistakes.
In another post, you say that you are 3rd shift. There is plenty of work on sm
other shifts. I spoke to my lead last night, and she is getting 3 new accounts to manage and told me that there are more than a dozen starting throughout the next month.
Isn't that job post from doctor recruiting work and not MTs? nm
xx
Others will post that work for these companies, there are some great
people that post on this board, you just have to overlook a few. Unfortunately I do not work at any of these companies, otherwise I would be glad to give you any information needed. Good luck though!
I have mde over 60K doing MT for the past 5 years. Why are you so hesitant to post who you work sm
for? Yes, I think you are a fraud am I am no jealous in the least. At least I don't have to lie as a part of my daily business. You still, an no other recruiter responding, has had the integrity to post their company name. No surprise.
Actually, I thought her post was professional. Do you work at MDI? I doubt it.
she can most likely weed out the MTs just by their posts anyway if she's dealt with them at all. She did the right thing to simply state MDI MTs can come to her IF they have concerns. It's great to share info, but not ALL posts are by sister MTs sharing the good word. There are many, many who love to incite drama and there are always 2 sides to every story! Anyone can come on here and claim they are great MTs and do all that is expected of them yet are treated terribly by a company, but that sure doesn't make it the truth. About how many MTs do you think are at MDI? And how many individual MTs are here complaining? Not the same posters using different names but single persons. Do the math and figure out from that how many are unhappy at MDI, and my bet is your percentage will be low. I know of a lot of MTs very happy at MDI with enough work. But then I'm sure the naysayers will just claim those are the favorites or something.

What happened to my post with an inquiry for companies that have clinic work available in the
mornings (not in the afternoons or evenings)? I did not think there was anything inappropriate in my message and thought it was on the correct board. Thanks.

The above post is the most inconsiderate, cold-hearted, not to mention ignorant piece of work I'
Do you even have a clue as to how much one cycle of IVF costs? Try 15K to 20K and it takes on average three cycles to achieve conception...if at all. How many people do you know wait until they have $20,000.00 saved before starting a family? Get real.
Not that it's any of your business, having a child was not a mental issue for me. I initially didn't feel that it would be necessary to share the details of what led up to our infertility because I didn't see the relevance. Infertility is what it is. However, if sharing the details will prevent you or anyone else from drawing conclusions and posting abrasive half-truths, then here goes:
My husband, against my wishes, had a vasectomy when our only daughter was 3. Coming from a big family, I always wanted at least two children. Long story short: We went to Texas for the first reversal and Arizona for the 2nd (5 years ago). We spent our entire savings, which was close to 20k and both surgeries failed. My daughter prayed for a baby brother or sister every night. I had this tremendous burden of guilt because our infertility was self-inflicted. I knew she would never be a big sister or even an aunt because of our selfishness.
Infertility in and of itself is traumatic enough, but when it's self-inflicted, the guilt can be overwhelming. At least it was for me.
There, now you have the facts. However, if you find it more entertaining to post over-the-top fabrications about my complete lack of control and severe mental issues, as you called it, knock yourself out.
I have been pretty honest about my personal life and would appreciate it if you could just answer 2 simple questions.
(1) Dou have any children?
(2) In your opinion, do you feel that insurance companies should cover the cost of elective abortions?
You can just answer yes or no. I'm not posting anymore on this thread so you won't get any arguments from me.
Hmm, wonder what the owner will say
no flame, but I would not tolerate that kind of off loading in a public forum from someone on my management team. Please remember I was responding to horn tooting that was short on information and left an impression that huh, I could do better elsewhere in addition to feeling insulted at the lack of decent benefits. There was no mention of UC contribution, STD or LTD, employer paying part of the health insurance premiums.
I said what I said mostly to make the point. If you want to sell me, do a good job the first time or you sink yourself and I won't look at you twice. There was little in the original post to sway me in your favor and the Jeckle/Hyde posting afterwards warns me of good day/bad day tangents.
As I said, best of luck to your company.
Are you the owner of
Why not just post the email address of the 'administrator'. Are you just trying to draw traffic to your forums and away from the forums here.
Seems to me, if you are really seeking MTs you'd just post like the other companies do on the Job board.
it USED to mean owner (sm)
back when most MT services were little and there was a real owner. Now that there are so many huge multinationals with no owner to take personal responsibility for the service, it's sort of transmogrified to mean organization, but that's redundant.
Just take it as meaning a service. Once again, AAMT, worthless as ever, ruins the language.
no changes that i know of. Same owner.

and this is the new owner
 My god you people are so gullable. That picture could have come from anyones kitchen!!!
How do you know? Are you the owner?
They are obviously losing something if there's no work. Have you been with them since they started or something? Do you know of every account MDI has or what? How can you make a blanket statement like that?
I can't believe people sit frustrated about no work and don't move on; that's just plain silly. There are tons of companies hiring; get on with it already! Come on show your stuff to a company that will appreciate you and not OVERHIRE!
Owner? sm

Owner is snarky.

As the owner of Omniscribe.... sm
I would like to come here and say that I have no idea who this individual is. She/he has never worked for me and my paychecks have NEVER been late. A company who does not pay their MTs would go under in no time flat and I am still going. Omniscribe is a very small company and I can count on one hand the number of MTs who have left here. Not one of them would come to a public forum to bash me or my company, so I'd be very curious to know who you are. I'm certain you have me and my company confused with some other place.
Oh, okay. I thought it was okay because the owner
people are saying DEROGATORY things about her. I was saying GOOD things and mine was deleted.
Is this really the owner of a company
Wow! You are soooooooooo ghetto and ignorant. I am speechless!
As a business owner
I have had people give notice and then NOT work their full shifts because they were leaving. Contracts can stipulate that you can be deducted pay for not fulfilling your contract.
Anyway, there are other methods to collect funds owed, if they are due.
I just do not feel that public character assassination is an appropriate manner to do so.
Walk a mile in my shoes!
You said you spoke to the owner.
You are not credible.
