You put your post about the wrong person in with
the posting that he is a criminal, steals $$, threatens lawsuits against MTs, and more. Geez back at ya! Can't you figure out that posting the wrong guy in with this mess may tarnish the wrong person's reputation? So you thought he was a salesman, your opinion. But you opened your mouth and inserted the WRONG PERSON in this thread, and others then knew who YOU were talking about and assumed you had to know what you were talking about, or why would ANYONE post something so horrible about someone? Read names more carefully next time. There were far more than a few letters off for to you arrive at your wrong conclusion - the entire last name was wrong. And yes, some people do value their reputations, especially when their livelihood depends on it. Seems these days our reputations are about all most of us have left.
You are wrong...not the person you are thinking of
If I was a person who you were unable to offer a position then how would I know that you often misspell and use words incorrectly in your emails and IMs? I am not the person you think I am.
I did not say anything about your work. Just offering a kind suggestion to you so that you are aware of the misspellings and misused words. It does not look very professional and does not give MTs much faith in QA when the person heading the QA team has trouble spelling simple words.
the person spelled "have" wrong

I accidentally responded to wrong person
I got trigger-finger happy hehe
True! I just hope the wrong person doesn't
get banned in error.
If a person is happy at their job, what's wrong with wishing them well by having them stay there?
That's not nasty.
Wrong. The person who was fired this week was from Keystrokes. I just got an email
from someone asking if was me posting here tonight, so I came to look. I agree with a lot that the poster has to say but I post my name when I post. Anyone who knows me or of me knows this. I do not have to post behind anonymous names nor do I.
I do disagree with some of what this poster says though and will take a moment to tell her/him something: You chose to run a service and knew or should have known what you were getting into. If you are doing all that, you should either hire more people or hire different people. The best move I ever made as a service owner was learning to delegate and hiring the right people including Human Resources, Accounting, Operations, QA, Recruiting and IS. (The second best move I ever made was to stop letting the posts on the MTStars and others affect me). Best advice I could give a service owner is to cough up the money for a good staff; it is worth it in the long wrong although hard in the short term.
While not everyone agrees with me or likes me or wants to work with Keystrokes, I do not feel a need to hide behind the anonymous nature of these boards and would rather have people know where I stand than wonder.
You would also know that I value our transcriptionists and know that as a company, Keystrokes constantly tries to improve. If you know me at all or anything about Keystrokes, you would also know that our rates are going up not down and we do not undercut prices to beat our competitors.
If anyone has anything to say to me directly, please use my email. I do not visit here often anymore and do not plan on starting again as it gets a bit addicting :)
Maybe you asked the wrong person. I am sure that not everyone is privy to all account information.
I know that there are at least 2 more in the works, being converted over. How do I know? I am the lead on one of them and have been involved with the conversion for the past 3 weeks.
The only people who know would be KB, LT and PG for sure as they handle sales and operations.
Uh, actually, no I'm not the person you're
referring to. Is there an equally psychotic term for someone who is secure in the knowledge that they've got everyone figured out but are actually dead WRONG? Because from this side of the monitor, you're looking pretty foolish right now.
For someone who is so happy, you're sure a mean person.
But hey, that's how it works here, isn't it? Socially retarded person who can't discuss anything without resorting to personal attacks.
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:

You're wrong. - sm
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.
Annabanana - you're a great person!
I have no word for it! It is just ridiculous what some will post here! Ugghhh.... The funny part is that I agree that someone should know how to spell their company name and give real facts! There are times when I see posts stating they can't find a job, but there are spelling errors all through the post. It kind of makes you wonder............ 
You're not missing out on anything believe me. This person who represents
themselves as management as said she fired me because I did such crappy work, ....... I was NOT fired, I quit. I dealt only with the CEO of the company. This person doesn't know who I am and obviously has more than a few screws loose. When I turned in my notice the CEO offered me a management position and I could name my price. Now that doesn't sound like someone who does crappy work to me. I have since been offered a position 2 times since I left.
I would not recommend SS to my worst enemy.
bet you're dead wrong on that one!
!
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.

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 right -- ignorance means a person didn't know, and I didnt. Sorry. nm
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!!!!!
I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.
I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way! This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
You are wrong! Here is the ad. I got it too. There are no words spelled wrong and the caps are pa

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.

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)
