It's their business anyway! Are you saying if you owned your own business you wouldn't enjoy the profits WHO WOULDN'T. Please. Keystrokes is a super company and the CEO, managers, co-workers, everyone is awesome!

How do you know that the owners are enjoying the profits?
If she or he is, great. That's the reason you go into business. Personally, I would not want the stress or the responsibility. With this economy getting worse, business owners are taking on the stress. They can keep it.
And if the owners are gamblers, who cares? I'm glad you entertain yourself.


Aren't MTSOs the owners? Well if owners of MT companies
don't want to work for that MTSO. There should be some idea of what is coming at us.
The "former owners" are the current owners. QT has not been sold (sm)
and I was told it will not be sold and is trying to get new accounts.
Former QT owners? I thought they were original owners

Seems like you're enjoying it.
I'll run my posting past you for approval from now on, just in case you may think I'm voicing my opining that may differ from your own in an attempt to cause trouble.

Get over yourself, and maybe get a life separate from your keyboard.

Sad, yet typical.
Since there are so many MTSOs enjoying the board
give us your side - tell us about your company, what you offer, how many times checks have been late, what your true TAT for IC's are, and what you feel our problem is with dealing with those issues that appear to be your problem.

Don't forget to leave your name so we can come sign up right away. We use this site for information - good bad or indifferent - do not post an employment ad - post like the basic run of the mill IC posts - state facts about your company and set us straight - rather than one liners about how great your company is trying to get us all to believe you are an IC as well. I would work for an honest MTSO that let me know there would be a problem with payroll in advance so I could adjust my situation accordingly, than for someone who dodges the question all the time, or for someone who gave me a workload to keep me busy for a lower line count than have me on call for work that never comes at a higher rate - at least I know I am working.

So come one - give us the facts about your company honestly.

I bet my eye teeth that not one MTSO will post a response with only the information requested, instead of a bunch of banter. So let's see - prove me wrong. I am particularly interested in the KS, TTS, D&L, and Medware - as they seem to be the ones that make us all worry

Yes, but were are the profits going? Japan? nm

No, it's not according to profits - not from what I read.

I am happy for you in this day and age when companies want all the profits themselves, thanks Keystr

I doubt any business will succeed that bases its profits on screwing their long-term employees. sm

You are not the only one who has worked hard for the company, but it doesn't matter if I like the people or not -- I have to make a living.  Your callous disregard for that fact (along with theirs), calling it something like an oversight or human error is a slap in the face to those of us who struggle alone to support a family on a measly 30-40 minutes of dictation a day, coupled with the fact that we were out and out lied to about the shortage of work.  How can there be mutual respect in a situation like that?


I am glad you support and care for them, and I hope they never leave you high and dry like they have done the rest of us.  I, for one, am done.  I don't need the lovey-dovey family talk when it is all a pack of lies.  That kind of family I do not need.


Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

Who cares?
I can't even believe that all of you are wasting your time talking about how to spell the stupid word anyway. Don't you have something better to do with your time than argue about how to spell a word that really ISN'T a word? GET A LIFE!!!
WHO CARES
NM
NOBODY CARES!!!!
Enough already. Do you have enough work now? I am flooded with work for over 3 weeks now (not complaining, love it).
Who really cares..? I don't!!!. nm

who cares

17 yrs exp. and nobody cares
I'm so sick of seeing ads requiring mega years of experience in multiple specialties, working knowledge of various platforms and every conceivable toy already installed on your computer only to find out the pay is entry-level at best.
Here we go again … who cares? nm

Look out for #1, who cares about anyone else.
Sigh. Thank goodness our forefathers weren't as selfish as we've become.
Nobody cares where you work or what you think.

who cares if they are in india

i heard good things about them


But who really cares? Anyone that has been in this business
knows it takes awhile to get back to people!!!!! If every company came on this board to read their stats, it would be full of stats. Do we really want to see them? If we do, I urge Transolutions, Transcend, Medware, every company that posts to come to this board and say all this. Do we really want to know. The board would be full of statistics. Do we care? No!
Like who the heck cares if she is one or not?

CMT according to AAMT, who cares?
I attended the best MT school in my area in 1971. It was held in a very large medical center with a R.N. supervisor as the instructor for our medical subjects and an English/Business teacher who taught medical office procedures,health, etc. We saw autopsies, learned to give injections and take BPs. We did rounds with doctors during our internship. We worked in the field in this hospital in at least 9 different areas, doing medical transcription, and were graded by the department supervisor at the end of each term. This on-hands medical training gave us the absolute best when it came to understanding what what we were transcribing. At the end of the course, we were given CMT pins and diplomas and I have considered myself a CMT ever since, which is a heck of a lot longer than the AAMT has been in existence! I do not care about any list they have compiled nor do I care about a $300 test they give so you can become certified. That means nothing to me. I have my excellent training and over 35 years of experience, as well as my diploma stating I am a certified medical transcriptionist, and that is what I am.
really who cares if you have nothing to hide?
now if they are delving into your personal life then thats another story, thats just plain nosey. But a criminal background check is not a bad idea.
You know what everyone? Who cares if you're a CMT or not...
If you're good, you're good. If you're not, then oh well. I make $21 (yes, $21) per hour PLUS incentive, and I'm not a CMT. So there. Get over yourselves. My goodness.
So what noone cares about my opinion? I am still

Managment cares
The upper management, and I mean the administration, lets you know they really care and they admit that it is the MTs that are the backbone of the company. They let you know you are appreicated.
who cares if they're mgt ?

Who flippin' cares?!?!

For the people who don't like what she does, guess what?  You don't have to work for her.  If you're tired of seeing her job ads, guess what?  Use your scroll bar and move past it.  But please, stop creating thread after thread about her company.  It's getting really old... and it's so pointless.


Who ASKED? And WHO CARES ..nm

who cares? Put your energy into sm
something else. If you have ever had a business you would know that the half that you think they are keeping is NOT their profit! They have to pay self-employment taxes just like you do on the money coming in, overhead, etc. Dont waste so much time worrying about it. You are gonna get an ulcer! GEEZE!
Well, good for you. Who cares if
fellow MTs can afford to feed their families with the lastest pay cuts, as long as YOU are doing fine.
If you think MTSO looks out for/cares for anyone

Who cares your opinion? Get over

who cares if its not a lot of money! You worked and

You should be paid. 


I let this go with a local medical transcription company.. only thing is I worked there (at the company) 5 days 6 hours a day and never got paid. I figured I gained experience and they weren't worth fighting.  I was just happy to be away from the place and the people who worked there.  I H-A-T-E-D that place.  In all honesty though, if they send me ANYTHING in the mail as far as taxes are concerned after not paying me.. something will be done.


clicks, cliques..who cares..nm

Who cares? Save the trees!!

If it does not affect your paycheck, who cares.....sm
If you can do as many lines or as much work as you want daily, who cares if you are on QA for 5 years. How they run that part of their business should not matter to you, unless you are limited as to how much work you get; thus affecting your paycheck.

I would not give a hoot if they kept me on QA for years, as long as I make my daily line requirement I need to survive.

Just my 2 pennies worth!! :-)


Who cares about punctuation and grammar?
With the doctors using EMR and VR without editing, these things are a thing of the past.  Medical records are a mess and nobody cares.
I think that they were the owners but not very
friendly. The other services seemed to be having fun but they did not. Makes you wonder what's going on ?????
owners are not MTs.

owners
are nice but the voice files are very hard to hear!  Pay is on time as well.  I had to use express scribe to transcribe.
You do know that the owners
of MSJ are accountants? (Unless they sold the place sometime in the last few years.) There really shouldn't be any problems with payroll since they are bean counters by trade.
Owners are not MTs and they have

I put my email at the top up there and no one cares enough to write. They just want to complain
and tell untruths about this company. Some are a good fit, others not, but the things that I am reading are definitely not true. I would not worry about constant complainers. These people would not fit in anywhere and I am not upper management either nor am I lower management.
If anybody cares, here is my experience looking for a job for the past 3 weeks

One company writes and says they are hiring and will have a coordinator contact me to schedule testing.  I schedule the test.  She then writes that she will be out of the office and to reschedule with her when she gets back.  When she got back, I wrote her and never heard from her again about rescheduling.  That was a company that begins with the letter F + net.  Not impressed.


Now transcending that scenario, next company that begins with the letter T...I tested and was offered a position by recruiter only to then be told they did not have the speciality I was looking for after being assured they did before testing.  We both agreed to put everything on hold.  Later, she contacts me and points me to a job ad for another company offering the work type I was looking for (?) which was nice but odd but then goes on to say she is leaving herself at the end of the month.  Recruiters at companies helping you find better jobs at other companies?I'm not real impressed.


Now...the company that recruiter referred me to begins with an Arch and hardly any posts on them anywhere to be found.  They tested me and offered me a position to start ASAP on a new account...ASAP drags out 2 weeks and then am told contract negotiations fell through so no account.  I can do another account on a different platform if I want - hmmmm not what I was looking for.  Recap = offered a position on an account they didn't have.  Not impressed.


In the meantime, investigate going back to a company I used to work for that is unmentionable here - begins with a big M.  I used to work for them so I thought go back to my old account.  Three weeks, many e-mails and phone calls later I am hooked up with a recruiting firm they hired and they send me paperwork and schedule me for training.  I complete training last week and have heard nothing from production super as promised but I have received 3 phone calls today from recruiting firm asking me if I need to be scheduled for training (and 2 of those people have never heard of the third person who called me so I am left wondering who I gave my SS# to).  Tried corporate office - no luck - no way to contact anybody.  Recruiter who had me return my paperwork to her does not know if it was received because she doesn't handle that.  Hmmmm....TRULY not impressed.


Another inquiry with yet another company yielded a reply e-mail that stated there was a testing file attached.  Hmmm....no file attached.  Answered that e-mail and have heard nothing since.


What in the world is going on?  Are there truly any good companies left? They keep running ads and complaining about a lack of good MTs when the fault lies possibly, quite possibly, in their complete lack of professionalism that immediately sends up a red flag to prospective employees.  When they get their acts together maybe they will have MTs.


Sorry but I needed to rant!!!!!!!!!!!! 


She did not say she cares what happens to Transcend, just making her point.

re: She did not say she cares what happens to Transcend, just making her point.
And her point is?
I agree...who cares how she spends her money? (sm)

She personally worked with me over the last couple months to get me a solid backup account.  I don't know how many people who own companies who would take the time to e-mail one of her MTs several times back and forth to try to find a backup account for them.  Normally that is done by someone in the office.  But she really worked with me one on one.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate that and how it went a long, long way to convince me that I should definitely stay at Keystrokes.  It's communication and dedication like that that sets Keystrokes apart and makes them a cut above many other companies.
