I was just getting ready to post the same theory
I can imagine that some PSs don't appreciate it when recruiters hire unqualified MTs for a particular position. I'm not saying the OP was unqualified, but if a recruiter has a history of not hiring within job requirements, thereby putting a huge load on the PS, I can see how the PS might not be a happy camper. It's definitely not right of her to take it out on the MT, but that might at least be the reason for such irrational behavior?
Theory about MT Pay
I personally think MTSO companies ask for raises to the clients and get them - they just aren't passed down to the peons MTs - am sure this is so - i bet your eyeballs would spin if you knew how much they make off of us - the only way we can get decent pay is to unionize - you cant support yourself on MT pay - who are you kidding - it is just to pay a few odds and ends - are there any single parent MTs - i sure doubt it - I guess I feel sad because we are very skilled and this work is not easy but we are just paid peanuts for it.
in theory, being an IC should be different, but...
as we have all pretty much found out, about the only true difference is that ICs don't get benefits, while employees do.
The whole concept that being held to a set in stone quota and a specific schedule automatically means you're an employee is just a fantasy.
Hugs to you and your little boy.
I bet you believe in the Big Brother theory too!
So you are saying that the moderator and administrator of this board specifically search through the posts and delete any negative posts about Transcend? They do this why? Why do they not do this for every other company talked about on this board? Please, add something substantial to the conversation!
I agree with what you said in theory
We are part of the healthcare team that provides for inpatients and we provide a service that is just as needed as the hands-on care. Unfortunately, we're not always treated in that way by the others in the healthcare team and a lot of times aren't even considered to be part of that team. To them, we're only the typists in the office. Because we work remotely we don't get the same benefits or wages that those in-house get. It seems like management of both the clients and MTSOs want to view us as part of that team and expect us to step up to that plate when it suits them. But yet when it comes to wages and benefits, in their eyes we're all too easily replaced. They're not willing to compromise for us, but expect the compromises to come from us on weekends, holidays, and when the workload is high. If they want us to be part of the team they should treat us as such instead of the oh typist, I forgot something... attitude.
I must disagree with your theory that
MTers who are compensated hourly, rather than by line & incentive, are less productive. I am DEFINITELY in that category, and I do insult the inference. In fact, the majority of my 25+ MT career has been spent being compensated hourly, and to date, there is no administrator that would harp about what she got for what I did. Rather than paying our hard working MTs in puny, pathetic pennies, which is what goes on much to my dismay. After a number of years of service, make it hourly. Show some trust in people people. This career has turned into an absolutely, positively ludicrously uncompensated one. We deserve SO much more.
Your theory shot down
No money to be made here. Volunteer members do the work, and office products have been donated. No paid positions.
So . . . . you have nothing, basically.
In theory I agree with you
The MT will have plenty of time to readjust her checkbook, creditors, etc. But there is a difference between a choice you willingly make by changing jobs and a choice that's foisted upon you due to circumstances out of your control.
And just because change is inevitable does not mean that we have to come on here acting like the Gordon Ramsay's of transcription. OK. You think she's being melodramatic. Shake your head, roll your eyes, and move to the next post. There is no need for the meanness that some posters are exhibiting to people who are already feeling betrayed and afraid of what their future holds. Kicking people when they're down is a bully tactic and not an act of helpful advice.
My theory...and I hope I'm wrong...sm
Keep in mind this is just based on a previous employer and I have no way of knowing for sure this is what MSJ is doing. My former employer did a big hiring boom (and MSJ has done that; I have been watching the boards). This accomplishes several objectives:
1. It keeps the accounts in tighter TAT.
2. It keeps the MTs logging on when there is work, and therefore on an on-call status and taking whatever is available, with most of the work coming from accounts other than the primary.
3. It keeps the MTs from making the top-tier bonus pay, even though the accounts are in TAT.
This is a win-win situation for the employer and a no-win situation for the MT.
I hope to heaven that is not what MS is doing because if it is, I'm outta here. I put up with that baloney for a year before I left my previous employer and will not put up with it again.
I am really fuming right now but trying to keep myself together, hoping I am making a mountain out of a molehill. We'll see.
I just wish for once, I could work for a company that shoots straight with their employees. I don't think that company exists.

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.:)

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!!

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

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.
