I see. So that's why you are calling her dishonest?

Apparently there were changes made. That does not make her dishonest. It means her plans changed.

    Got the same treatment,sounds like alot of us did, not just us 2 I am sure.
    dishonest
    Why are they dishonest? What do or have they done to make you feel this way?
    DISHONEST TIMES 2!
    I transcribed 1,195 lines and ichart reflected only 154.08 lines the next day! I documented line counts every day, and for one pay period it was 2500 lines off on their end! - disqualified from benefits too. NO answer from supervisor.
    Could you explain what was dishonest?
    I got an email saying that I could not sustain my life with 1 doctor - so they would have to let me go - that = you aren't working here anymore. So, the next step is to call your unemployment office - they determine whether you are eligible to receive benefits or not - and because of the emails that the lead MT sent - she is the one who hung KS - it was determined that I was eligible. Then you look for work - for which there are many different aspects of what you apply for and what you do or do not accept - there are not so many employment positions for MTs -more IC jobs which do not count as employment. I did everything as layed out in the guidelines. KS just didn't want to be responsible for their part of the unemployment - siting laws in their state - which are not the same as those in the state where I live - and you state's laws are the ones that count - not theirs. Please tell me what is dishonest about this. I did nothing dishonest while working for KS - all I did was work. Oh, I did miss one TAT because my broadband was down - and that was in a year.
    Well that's just plain dishonest then.
    I wonder if the MTstars quote was actually written by the the recruiter him/herself then.  I think I'll pass on this company then.
    Actually, I think we all would like to forget them. It has been proven that they are dishonest.

    Right on Sista!! They are dishonest and friendly until

    Defending dishonesty is being dishonest
    .
    I rest my case. Once again OSi shows how dishonest they are.
    This makes me ashamed that I once worked for them, but also makes me glad that I work for a decent, honest company now and do not have to be a part of their BS!!
    Yeah..they are dishonest. They most certainly are in India. Do you really want to work for someone
    that is dishonest?? not me..
    Why take it to email. Shouldn't we all know if this is an employer who is dishonest to their
    employees. Inquiring minds would like to know if they really offshore..
    Most Indians in the MT business are dishonest scum
    nm
    If you are such a dishonest person, maybe they saw through that and let you fall to the wayside inte
    You should be ashamed of yourself. This is called FRAUD. It is ILLEGAL and can give you prison time. You deserve it. You give MTs a bad name and I hope no company EVER has to deal with you that they have a way to talk to KS or any other company you have ever done this to.

    I also hope they catch you and prosecute you.
    Please look at your posts defending dishonest cherry-pickers, then look at yourself.

    How are they dishonest for taking out premiums for insurance that we signed up for? sm
    Wow. People will bash any company for any reason.
    RE:Sure is and the gal out of Nashville that runs it is a rather dishonest person - to boot. nm TNMT

    I've feel for the same thing and tired of dishonest people.
    My favorite was when a recruiter would actually do all of her recruiting by pretending to be an MT. She went to great length singing the praises of her company, even though others were badmouthing the company. She was very convincing until I put two and two together. Actually, she wasn't too smart. She private emailed me from the board as the MT saying that she would contact her boss to recommend me.. Well, though and behold her boss and her both had the same email. Now, do I look like a moron or what. So, honestly, I rarely trust those cheerleaders on here and just take it with a grain of salt because you never know who your talking to.
    CALLING ALL NEW MQ MTs

    What incentives were you hired at? If you are an SE, were you told you get quarterly bonuses?  PLEASE REPLY!


    Just keep calling (sm)
    Don't be nervous. Same thing happened to me. They are spread pretty thin there, with people wearing a number of hats. They don't really have one person who does only recruiting that I'm aware of, unlike the other companies, hence the disconnect in getting back with people.
    Have you tried calling them?

    Calling on ICs

    I have always been a FT employee for a national ...I understand IC status but very unfamiliar w/companies hiring IC status....Any advice on ICing greatly appreciated and good/bad companies....How is money doing Rad as compared to hospital basic 4...?


    Thank you


    keep calling
    630-553-3680 I played phone tag for quite awhile before I finally got to talk to the recruiter. I believe they must be really busy hiring these days.
    No name-calling, please. (sm)
    We all have to get along on this board. If you don't care for what someone is posting, you can disagree but you cannot use foul names or vulgar references.

    First off an MD would not be calling HR to
    talk about an MT.  They have a contact and if they had a problem with the work of an MT they would call their contact, not HR. 
    Have you tried calling them???
    x
    Why would you be calling yourself sm
    Newer TTer if you've been there for 3 years?  Probably forgot to change the name field, didn't you?  I smell someone trying to be more than 1 person here.
    you are calling her smug?

    I think it's quite smug that you assume because you state you were allowed to have a flexible shift that this statement will automatically allow Transcend management to know who you are!  So, you were the only one treated special?  Well, you don't work there anymore so all should be fair now!


    Also, I knew coming into the job that Transcend had 300 or so employees and was not as big as Spheris.  Who cares?  Also, I think the fact that you pointed out, about how numbers of MTs post positive comments about Transcend, I think that definitely speaks as to the health of the company.  If we were posting negative comments, everyone would be ready and more than willing to accept those posts as an indication of how the company is functioning.  It seems that the bad is always more spicer and acceptable than the good. 


    As far as blanket statements go, that is exactly what was going on with the unhappy poster.  They were blanket statements.  And as far as trying to "draw her out", you are absolutey correct.  I could care less who that poster is, I want to draw out the specifics of the allegations.  I want to understand what she is talking about and why.  If you are going to post something on here that is controversial, you had better be prepared to back it up, good or bad.  There is nothing wrong with expecting that out of someone, otherwise that poster's comments are chalked up to a disgruntled employee or bad seed. 


    I also know that I am no one special at Transcend, but I have managed to be treated very well there since being hired.  I have been given everything that I need and have FINALLY found a company that I can trust.  It is quite easy to get on here and post positive things about a company, placing your name beside it.  You are right about that.  However, I have worked for Keystrokes and Spheris and have posted many times complaints about each and have posted my name.  Why is that? Because I believe in what I stand for and if I feel that I am not being heard or treated fairly, I am not ashamed or afraid to stand up for what I need.  Sure there may be repercussions in that, but I am willing to accept that.  What some people don't realize, though, is that there are also repercussions in anonymity in that you never get anything changed.


    CALLING ALL MEDWARE MTs

    Considering this company, could some people give me their average pay an hour, etc.  Tx


    ?? Why the name calling? Deal with it..

    I have this recruiter calling me
    about a position within her company. When I asked her initially how she got may name and number she said someone gave it to her but she couldn't remember who. Anyway, she has called 4-5 times. Her name sounded familiar so I looked back to old jobs I had applied for. She used to be the recruiter for SoftScript (I guess, she may work for both). Are they allowed to take that information with them to another company? I'm really bothered by the fact that she has done this and have told her to quit calling me but I'm just amazed that she has taken this information and is now using it for this other company.
    Hmmm. I would try calling them. nm
    nm
    If they are calling you , then yes, you passed - sm
    otherwise you'd probably never hear from them, or maybe get an email saying try back in 6 months. Talk to them, you have nothing to lose. If you like what they say accept the offer but tell them you cannot start until January. Or if they don't like that offer to work PT until then and go FT in January. It usually takes a week or more to get all set up as it is. As for looking around, you face a lot of competition, jobs are hard to come by. I just lucked into a backup job for my main job (both are totally IC, no set hours and on the new one just have to meet 500 lines a day) (getting bad vibes from my regular job, another MTSO is trying to get the account away from my employer, and if they succeed I am out of a job--they have been up front with me at least at let me know). The pay for the new IC job is not great (average), but for now is it extra $. If it becomes my B&B I will be making less, but it is easier work so it would all work out in the end. You could accept the MW offer and keep looking, no law against that. Good luck.
    Try calling a recruiter.
    x
    Or not calling a recruiter. That would be best.
    andd
    I would appreciate your not calling me **nuts**

    I only got 5 hours during my scheduled shift yesterday and only 3 hours during my scheduled shift today, so I know for sure. No jobs.


    Please know the entire story before posting such accusatory names as ***nuts***. My account has no work for me.


    Calling all MDI-MD'ers...

    I have just been contacted by MDI-MD for interview.  I could sure use your imput esp if you are an old MQ'er.  If you would like to respond, could you please E-mail me?


     


    Thanks so much!


    maybe try calling them and ask if no one knows the answer

    If that happened to me, I'd be calling the BBB

    Try emailing or calling your former STM. nm

    Calling all you LANDMARKIANS!! (Is that right??)

    Hello!  I just joined Landmark and would be very interested in meeting some of my many co-workers scattered out there across the country!  If there are any of you that may be interested in sharing IMs, please just email me.  I promise not to abuse you with IMing.  The company I just left mandated IM accounts so I will understand perfectly if you're not interested.  I didn't think I would ever be again!  All the IMing I had to do caused me to have to burn the midnight oil on more than one occasion!!


    Please just shoot me an email if you are interested.  I think this could very helpful for us.  If you have zero interest in an IM relationship then that's perfectly fine too!  I'd still like to hear from any of you working at Landmark.  I've been doing this so long there may actually be a few of you I do know from years ago!


    Thanks!


    Landmark Newbie


    Yes, I agree with calling New Jersey
    What has happened is that P and M have a lot more authority than they are capable of handling. for example, I know of an MT whose son was killed in a car accident. For obvious reasons during the funeral and shortly thereafter she could not make her lines, they threatened to cut off her health insurance, single mom. That one broke my heart and I knew I had to leave.
    IF you stop calling it Christmas
    First of all, I don't think it's possible. People would never totally adapt to saying Holiday instead of Christmas. But second of all, I think that if we did stop saying Christmas, lo and behold, whatever word we used instead, be it holiday or whatever, would then become an objectionable word. They just are jealous of us and want to bully us around. I can imagine maybe we just change the date? Christ was born in September anyway. It all goes back to converting pagans and having a celebration to coincide with their big winter celebration.

    No communication? They are calling and emailing me
    /
    Same thing happened to me, and when I kept calling
    hired me went on vacation for 3 weeks. Ridiculous. I had to move on and get work with someone else. Cannot waste time waiting around for people like this - how long will you wait around when you have a problem. Nope ... move on.
    Have all the emails go to Junk so you don't see them. Keep calling until
    s
    Looks like the pot calling the kettle black to me....sm
    Obviously you have time to come here and check out the posts. Ever think other people might be the same way?
    To OSi, pls stop calling me to work on my day off!

    If all your newbies and mentees can't help you out for chrissakes stop ripping people off and lying to them so you can retain quality MT's who actually have experience and can get the job done.


     


    They are the ones calling it Medquist Docuscribe, not me. nm

    Thanks! They are calling me to talk to me on Monday! SM
    I'm very excited! I'm looking to move from Keystrokes to MDI, or at least drop down to part-time at Keystrokes and be full-time with MDI since they seem so great, and the recruiter was very, very nice! What type of platform do they use? Do you have to submit a time sheet at the end of the pay period?
    Have you tried calling their office and talking with anyone?
    nm
    Wow! How 'bout doing what I did and calling the office and asking?
    In fact, there ARE new accounts coming on all the time. There is a large new one starting the 28th of this month, as a matter of fact. I really do not understand the one or two posters who continually come to this board to bash TT. IMHO they are the best of the best. I am sure they aren't for everyone, but why so nasty about this company. Did you have a bad experience? Did you get fired?

    With regard to the press release quote, I have asked management about it and they have said they estimate ultimately between 15-20% of their staff will be on speech recognition. People, that leaves 80-85% of us who will not. Is there really a problem with that? Come on.
