What happened to the thread talking about YOG and L&H? How could that be bad? nm
Well, no offense, but I'd rather not...
..since I have put in my notice, it's kind of a done deal. One of the reasons I didn't go on the company forum with all of this is because of Larry's email and I can see where it can be construed as stirring up trouble. I just wanted to know if anyone else saw some things that I saw. In other ways, Transcend has been good to me. I really don't want to stir up trouble and sew more seed of discontent, so I hope you can understand that. Take care...if you enjoy it, that's all that matters. Take care.:)
Don't take offense....
Oh guys, it's not that I don't believe you...I'm just trying to figure out how I could find such conflicting reports on the same company. Had I known about the outsourcing I probably would not have applied but I did, based on all the good things I'd heard about them, and now I get to live with it.
Thanks for your replies:)
I did not take offense
No problem - I did not take offense in any way. I appreciate the help.
No offense taken...
It is about time someone realized that anyone can post anything anonymously on these boards and a certain number of chicken necks will take if for face value. I read where applicants offered positions attempt to do their due diligence in company research by posting Hey, does anyone have anything good or bad about company XYZ? That's a good idea- leave your career decision up to the input and responses of a bunch of anonymous posters. Why not ask the homeless about investment advice? regarding my identity, it really doesn't matter. The original poster, an applicant who interviewed for a position which she failed to get, crossed the line when SHE made disparaging posts anonymously about an employee (a recruiter) of that company. Whether or not I am that recruiter challenging her on this, or whether or not I own the company in question, or whether or not I'm a fellow schlub MT just getting my rocks off by stirring it up, is irrelevant. As one poster put it, if I was disparaged or if my employee was disparaged- rightly or wrongly- I'd stand up for them (or myself). The fact that NO ONE- including the original poster- can determine where these posts originate from, is entirely the point. If you do not want to get attacked, do not drop the first bomb. If you do ot want vicious, vile rumors spread, then don't post viscious, vile rumors about others. Live and learn by The Golden Rule. If you don't know what THAT is, ask a kid in Sunday School- they'll tell ya'.
I really take offense to this...
If I want to make extra money on a holiday (and besides, how many times have I flexed to meet my lines??), then I feel free to do so. Have I ever been told NOT to work? Heck no. In fact, I am ENCOURAGED to work...keep that TAT...
It is dog eat dog...has always been that way. Get over it. We all work different hours and have different accounts...there is plenty for all.
I take offense to that.....
You are making it sound like all southerners are religious freaks or something. And yes, some supposed Chrisitians are hypocrites...but not all. Don't generalize southerners. There are some good southern companies out there. There are a fair share of NORTHERN companies who are horrible.
I take offense as well...
Derm is no easy specialty at all. Most clinic MTs can get into another specialty without a problem at all, so that could have been left out. I guess I'm an ad guru all of a sudden, but some look really professional and others let's just say not so much.
Note: Emdat is not one of the best platforms out there. Me thinks someone is lining their pockets bigtime in this deal! JMO.
OffenSe, not with a C. nm

It is a federal offense
If the federal government checks the time the employee is producing work from the company software instead of the falsified time sheet and finds it is consistent across the board, the company will definitely be in a huge amount of hot water. I don't work for them and never have. I have my own small company with just me and two more employees, but if this is going on, the employees would have a firm case. They should also document the calls or even record them when they are called to work extra. Just my two cents. I hope this helps.
Why did you take offense - none meant
If you are comfortable with your self-described 'hatred' of Indians you need not defend yourself to me.
That said, I disagree that hatred is a valid emotion. Anger is a valid emotion, but hatred is not an emotion per se (per many psychologists) for one reason because unlike an emotion like sadness or anger, it is not of a temporary nature.
We'll just agree to disagree on that one.
We'll also have to disagree that contacting/lobbying your REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS - the ones who write laws like the one(s) you currently oppose - would be LESS effective than trying to bring down 'Indian call service centers.'
No Offense Intended at All!
I'm sorry if you read something into my question that was offensive to you, but it was not meant that way at all, I assure you! I only asked how you knew because as Ire stated in my followup email, no one seems to read these or answer them that has ever worked at AccuPro. And I asssure you, the only reason I am inquiring is because I was considering applying for the Hem/Onc position they are advertising for, but my 15+ years experience in Hem/Onc is all clinic, thus my earlier question to anyone who could answer...do they do hospital or clinic work or both. I'm just a bit concerned about applying when so little is known about them, but I do very much appreciate the info you gave me and in no way do I question or wonder whether it is true or not! I give everyone here the benefit of the doubt and assume if they post an answer they are stating what they know to the best of their ability. I was just hoping maybe you might actually know a real person who had worked there since none seem to come forth on this board to answer any questions, which I do find very strange in light of all the MTs that read and post here. I thank you again for your information!

'Scuse me but I'm not a monkey and I take offense
at your insinuation.
I do VR and I love it. It is not mindless and boring. You have to be able to READ to do this work, and you edit as you go along. I think it's just as challenging as MT'g. The program I use does learn as it goes along and the work has gotten easier, but you still have to CONCENTRATE hard to put out good reports.
I haven't doubled my pay or lines like others because I believe in quality before quantity, but I am close and am making more money. It just depends on the work. Dictators are mostly pretty good, even the ESLs. In fact, some ESL reports don't need a single word edited. Sound quality is good, too. No problems.
The bonus to VR is that it is saving my hands. While doing regular MT'g, my hands would be so sore and swollen by the end of the day that I could barely lift anything, open jars, or make a fist. Now, I only get pain in a couple fingers once-in-a-while.
No offense, but part of a good MTs
job is to do every dictation (or at least attempt to do, to the best of their ability) they get in their que. He's/She's hard to understand is NOT a valid excuse to skip a report. When you have to type one ESL after another while your co-worker picks and chooses the easiest dictator, it is dishonest and unfair to good MTs.
No offense, but you are insulting the wrong ones.
You are correct when you say that difficult jobs make you a better MT. But the same holds true for cherry-pickers. They would be decent MTs (as well as honest ones)if they were honest enough to type whatever came up into their que. In my early days as an on-the-job MT, I myself had a more experienced MT cherry-pick and my lines and paycheck suffered because of it. I don't check for cherry-picking, never have, but I resent them thinking they have a right to pick and choose what I type. I, too, now am good enough to do any job, but that is no excuse for others to be dishonest. You obviously must not have to worry about money. It's a shame you are insulting the honest MTs who are complaining about the dishonest ones. You seem to be insulting the wrong people.
Why not a group note? I took no offense. (sm)
I don't expect them to spend all their time monitoring us. We are supposed to be professionals. I like them spending them time on getting new accounts, improving software, etc.
Besides, I received part of a group E-mail. I have no way of knowing what happened to any individuals who were repeat offenders. For all I know they WERE dealt with on a 1:1 basis.
I took great offense to the tone in that job ad.....sm
I have typed dermatology for over three years and it is not as easy as everyone seems to think it is. When my docs are dictating, they not only talk about their dermatology problems, but other medical problems as well and that can be any specialty under the sun.
Personally, I think she/he can take their job and stick it where the sun don't shine!!
Sorry for the typo/brain fluff-offense

No offense, but do you work at line rate in-house?
s
Yikes!!!! No offense but more than 1 MT has said they havent gotten paid. I cant take a chance.
Thanks anyway..
Are you gay or an actor or both, Seymour. No offense but I like a little light humor to make me sm
smile on a day when I have hit the bottom of the barrel.
Come on, learning correct spelling is important. No offense meant.

Not talking about lines. Talking about what you actually

Man this thread is getting serious.
Dont fight over spilled milk. Its just two thousand dollars. We dont want to start world war III with a simple two grand.

there is a thread going now, look below

My bet would be no. From the other thread

Oh, not another TT thread. Not another day of this!
It's getting like MQ. Get TT their own grip board, will you? It's no fun coming here anymore with the same gripes over and over again. Ugg.
There's a thread below about that
Apparently they want a Transcriptionist in their Bangalore office- or at least their ad states they're based in Bangalore and looking for an in-house transcriptionist.
Keystrokes thread
Get over yourself. You're defending a company you say you don't work for and you want me to leave it be? ROFL.
I'm an observer who understands double-talk. Shoot me for pointing it out to those who might not have caught it. Apparently a lot of people did. I made some interesting observations. Is that what's really bothering you? Does one have to work there to make an observation, ask a question, or question their comments? Sounds like you have a problem with people who can think for themselves.
I'm sorry I missed the posts of those "trying to soothe" me. Is that why the thread was removed because there was so much soothing going on? You obviously read all of them. Why? Or maybe you misread all of it just like the one who viciously answered my post.
Keystrokes thread
Did anyone notice that Keystrokes personnel got pretty vicious?
Hanging by a Thread..
Yes, I currently work for HIS, but not for the reasons you have. I am only holding on for the insurance and PTO. My supervisor is unbelievable rude and all of my accounts are 97% ESL. If HIS is not being sold, why are people leaving left and right? It makes me wonder if the employees in-house know more than the remote staff.
Thread deleted. (SM)
The thread was without any substantiation whatsoever, just 2 inflammatory remarks with no credibility and the replies were starting to get out of hand.
Information about any company can be posted here; however, it should be posted with specific information, not just general name-calling and not even specific complaints listed.
The thread turned and
and drifted to another company. It's not your fault, and it's easy to see how you could have taken it the way you did. (As an aside, I totally understand and empathize with the late nights!!!)
And I agree with what you said. It is very helpful to express good experiences with a company. However, I'm not going to do that unless I've been with a company for a minimum of 1-1/2 years.
I don't know how long you've been with FN. I can only speak from my own experience, and I came here before as a newbie, bragging about how great a company was, only to discover months later that the negative comments I responded to were completely accurate and warranted, and now I have egg on my face. ~LOL~
I won't ever post a positive post about a company until well after the honeymoon period, when I'm certain they're for real, even though I know how tempting it is when you think you've struck gold and found the right company, getting good line counts, making lots of money, etc., to want to share that positive experience with the world!
Sometimes I think that's part of the company's reason for the honeymoon period: So the employees will think the company is so great, they happily and unwittingly become a PR person for the company.
I've recently been burned pretty badly by the company the above poster was referring to, so that's why I responded. Even though she didn't mention any specific names, those of us who are employed by that company know exactly who she was talking about.
Again, I apologize for confusing the issue. I totally believe everything you said about FN, and I'm glad you found a company that makes you want to defend it. There's nothing better than being able to respect and trust your employer. I hope someday I can find that kind of company, and I just might check FN, based on your comments.
In a thread yesterday or the day before, a QT MT said that .... sm
she had heard from loose-lipped office staff, as I believe she put it. Soit was leaked out unintentionally but, I would imagine, not without merit.
Pulling up thread from below. Why I believe MT is not going
anywhere for a while ...
WordPerfect 5.1
We still have clients that use it. If they are still on DOS-based word processing, do you REALLY think they are going to invest in Voice Recognition? Do you think that they are so open to change that they will welcome offshore transcription with open arms?
We have to learn technology and be ready for change, just like when typewriters were replaced by computers, but technology changes do not happy everywhere overnight.
In addition, the VR that I have seen in place has a LONG way to go. If they put it out too early, which I truly believe, it will take a lot to convince someone to give it another try. I think this is why they realize now that they cannot do without the transcription component.
Can't get rid of us that easily 
This is weird, I was actually under the thread I was
.
and I thought this thread was going so well
I often quote Einstein when he gave his reason for not remembering his home address. He said he didn't dedicate anything to memory he could look up so he could use more of his brain on more important thoughts! Of course, I'm blonde so that saves me sometimes :)
BUT, when it comes to knowing tenon versus Tenon, that is important and will slip by any well taken and readily available notes when you're going too fast to care to look it up. Well taken notes don't help if you don't remember the contents. I think everyone has stumbling words but good MTs know how to compensate for that with good work habits and productivity tools. Having a cooperative attitude is something else they test for on verbals.
Well, I think some of the posts in this thread
I think it was this thread.... A recruiter had come on screaming at everyone saying she didn't have time for every (can't remember exact names) Jane, Jean, Abdullah, or Mustafeh who contacted her but didn't suit her needs. Then she went on a bizarre rampage--it was really quite spectacular, albeit on the dark side. Then she used the name Mustafeh again, basically saying she couldn't give a d*** what an unqualified Mustafeh thought of the situation. She received a reply saying that someday Mustafeh might have exactly the skills and experience she would need, and s/he would remember her rudeness. So....I think that's where it comes from.
looks to me most replies in this thread are from QA
not MT. Good for you that you talk to MTs daily. Now, what does that have to do with my opinion? Are you implying I am supposed to think like everyone else?
I challenge you to not just talk to the MTs, but ask their opinions on lower pay, longer hours, making less money than when they started...
The MTs I would talk to would be the single mothers, or MTs who are supporting themselves or are the heads of their household, not married, not working for a second paycheck. When I started some 15 years ago, I was making more than I am now, benefits and everything included.
Rather than just say things like that is how it is, it is a business, etc., etc., I say, why not be role-models for the future? Where else can that be done other than chat rooms or boards...
This is the only outlet, period, so when people express their opinions and are personally attacked, rather than supported, even if in disagreement with the majority, you are only allowing more and more repression...
This whole thread is weird and obviously has some
ulterior motive - so much name throwing and personal smut details. Susan and now Tara? Sounds like Days of Our Lives. Give us a break. We're really not interested in whatever your personal agenda is. Buh bye!
You may want to start a new thread.
Not many people going back this far in archives for discussion.
it's about time. That thread was truly getting old
nm
That isn't the point of this thread -
which you know already. Nothing like trying to change the subject BECAUSE you can't defend your position.
It's because there are people in this particular thread (sm)
who aren't reading posts and who are jumping on the defensive in an offensive way. JMHO. This whole thread has turned into a train wreck.
regarding Axolotl thread
For all of those confused readers, I would invite you to read the post that is encaptioned - Such hostility! Wow! - which is right above the - Your [sic] just jealous! post - for a quick summary of the original point.
Once again, I would like to say that I believe we all deserve to be treated well - not just by our company, but by our fellow MTs - and I wish everyone all the best.
