You can block your e-mail so no one can contact you privately; some people like to be contacted via e-mail, others do not.  I am not sure how to do that, but contact the moderator.

Even if you had posted the article, that is fine; I love working for a company that is the #1 publicly traded company in Georgia.  Mr. Gerdes just sent out an e-mail stating that we also were ranked highly in Forbes.   With all of the horrible economic news, I am glad I work for a stable company.  It's not for everyone though - to each his/her own.

I've seen glowly replies everytime anyone asks about Medware, but on looking into it I find a few things to be not  so great and am wondering why everyone who replies says they're wonderful?

First, top line rate 0.085 cpl doesn't seem really that great to me for someone with quite a few years experience in acute care.

Second, incentive pay only has one tier, so essentially anyone who can produce 150 lines per hour gets the same pay.  It seems like 150 lph should be able to done by even a newbie.

Third, the way to get a raise is to leave transcription (become an Editor sounds like).

Fourth, they obviously offshore!

Last, insurance while lower than some is still not really good.

With all these added up ... how does Medware still end up being AAMT top employer twice in the last five years and why does everyone on here rave about them? 

Offshoring is one of the sorest subjects for MTs currently. 

Remember, however, that we just cannot tolerate racism on this board.  It is your businesses and government that are doing this -- pushing for it, allowing it, promoting it. 

Keep racist remarks off the board, period.  Racism is hate speech and it will not be tolerated.

I have removed a thread about Acusis because it was practically 100% absorbed into nothing but hateful rumor and personal attacks of one individual at the company and too much identifying information.

Do not identify people by initials, names or other descriptive information about individuals.  Stick to topics about companies, issues, etc., but we will not be tolerating personal attacks on anyone. 

While I generally try to use a temporary ban to get your attention for such posting violations, banning for this type of attack will be slower to lift. 

Please be responsible with posting in leaving out information about others individuals, internal/privileged information, etc.

I just wanted to clarify something with everyone in hopes to ensure we all are on the same page.

I have deleted some posts that were correcting grammar/spelling, etc., as those are not allowed.  I usually will place a temporary ban on a poster in order to stop them and tell them in my action reason why I deleted/banned their post/privileges and ask that if they will abide I will remove the ban.  For 99% of posters, this works well as they were not aware that it was a problem or that we are serious about it, at least.  However, there are posters on occasion who resort to calling me names and who rant over the morality of some posts left on the board and try to enforce THEIR views or to allow them to pick/choose which posts should remain or even to excuse them from their unwillingness to abide by guidelines.  Not happening!

We do not moderate any of the boards for niceness, for ethics, for morals, for specific opinions.  We DO moderate for name-calling (troll, liar, or foul names), for posting privileged or private information, for spelling/grammar policing, etc.  All opinions are welcome here.  Stick to posting about topics, etc.

I just wanted you to know that MTStars does protect YOUR right to express your opinions here - regardless of what perspective it comes from - as long as posting guidelines are upheld.  This means that you may well find posts that are offensive to you - just skip them, leave them alone.  Stick to discussing or even debating topics but leave the personal attacks alone.

Thank goodness that we do not moderate by any one person's opinion of what is nice or not, right or not, appropriate or not, moral or not!

attack people by name.  In Lee's defense, she has over 200 people working for Keystrokes now and accounts in a lot of different states.  As managers, we have started taking on more of the day-to-day and HR and the clerical staff take care of the transcriptionists.  It is a hard thing to learn as an entrepreneur but delegating is very important.  We are finally seeing her do this, and things are much smoother.  One person simply cannot do it all in a company of this size.  I wouldn't want to own my own company for that reason.  The hours she works would kill me and I would be divorced.  The constant travel of this year would cause most people to take days off after each trip, but I have talked to her hours after she got in from a one-day trip for a meeting to sign a contract and while tired, she is still out there making sure that our jobs are secure.

No one was out to get you or to mess up your life.  I am sure that there is more to the story than you are saying but I find it hard to believe that you were ignored.  I personally talk to each person hired for one of my accounts and make sure that they have all that they need. 

If you came during a hectic time and felt you were not treated fairly, on behalf of the company, I apologize.  However, and this is not an excuse, with the growth that Keystrokes has experienced, there are bound to be hectic times and bound to be changes.  I, for one, am glad that the changes make Keystrokes a better place to work.  I hope that someday Keystrokes replaces MQ and Spheris at the top of the national companies and know that if they do not, it is because they refuse to compromise and hurt the transcriptionists. 

Life is about choices.  Mine has worked well for me.  We should all help each other rather than carry around so much negativity.
