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.

    RE:Sure is and the gal out of Nashville that runs it is a rather dishonest person - to boot. nm TNMT

    Yep, I can see for me that weekends and OT will go by the wayside. nm

    Not long at all. Should go by the wayside too.

    Got the same treatment,sounds like alot of us did, not just us 2 I am sure.

    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.
    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.
    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

    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.
    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.
    And fall out of TAT?

    I always have had something to fall back on too.
    I have a full time job as hospital employee, plus an IC subcontractor position for a few hours a day.  I will say though, the only thing that saved me the last two weeks was the fact that I get paid downtime for full time job.  It's an hourly wage, which is not nearly what I average on production (about half), but at least it is something.  I had work with my IC position, but things were slow, plus the facility was closed a couple days for the holidays.  I myself am not complaining though,  it was nice to have some time off.     
    Ah but see, you DO NOT fall in the category I was

    referring too.  You do produce and I would almost bet very accurate work. YOUR kind of work is highly appreciated. Does not matter whether you need to take a break after 4 hours, 2 hours, whatever.  That works for you and I think that is great.  If you read my post, I am referring to the people that think they should get paid more to work less.  Yes MT is a production position no matter how you look at it.  As long as you are happy with your production and your company is happy with your production, then double happiness for both of you. This was aimed at the people that are griping at offshoring, constantly wanting higher wages etc that DO NOT produce accurate work and in fact instead, more and more of their work has to go to an editor.


    I think any MTSO would be nuts not to work with an experienced MT over a less experienced one, even if that means we need to take a few more breaks, etc.  I am no spring chicken myself. 


    As far your statement of ME getting back to work....... Nah,  I only work Mon through Fri roughly 8-4 or 8-5, so at night I get lazy  


    was it last fall?, or maybe longer, whenever...
    nm
    I worked for them for a while last fall, they never
    x
    I tell ya, when it all hits you the fall sm
    is going to be much harder! I only hope folks won't be as unfeeling to you as you have been.

    Folks do what they have to do to stretch a dollar my dear. It just hasn't hit you yet but it could and it a much bigger way.
    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.
    If you fall below 98.9% accuracy twice within a year, sm
    they dock you 1 cpl.   It is on page 10 of the information I received from the recruiter.
    How'd you fall of the couch if u were in bed sleeping? Lol nm
    ..
    I can't believe anyone would fall for this. Didn't your mother (sm)
    tell you if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is?
    I worked for them last fall for a few weeks, pay was
    9.5 cpl, but always ran out of work and still after 6 weeks they never got around to giving me a second account, even though they said they would. Left after that.
    I'm in CA, too...I hope it doesn't fall off, LOL (sm)
    Hey fatcat...My primary is very high ESL as well, but it's one of the Lanier accounts. Apparently, the account is phasing out the Lanier system and going to Inova, which is an Escription platform. Perhaps your account just isn't going to affected by it.

    If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email. In the meantime, I'm gonna get some coffee and check to see if my lifeboat is ready to go in case CA does break off into the water, lol!!!
    Sometimes the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
    Lots of these big MTSO co's are in bed with AHDI, and I have a hunch the whole kit-n-kaboodle of 'em are ridin' for a fall. Or a public hangin'.
    Don't fall for the sweet talk.
    The recruiter is the sweetest person in the world when trying to sucker you in, but will bite you in the back like a viper after a while.  The honeymoon phase was wonderful, but then they started changing all the terms that I had agreed to one by one, including a cut in pay.  She got really mean and nasty towards then end and I just quit.  I didn't need to be treated like that. 
    Yeah, I was dumb enough to fall for that one!
    nm
    I can't wait until you fall on your face. The nerve of you sm
    to think you are better than someone else. You are pathetic. Nothing will come good out of that statment mark my word.
    Tired excuse... what about fall and after the first of the year...
    You constantly hear... work is slower around September through early November because kids are back in school and more moms are typing full days. Or Jan-April is slow because no one is taking any vacation during these months?? There is always some type of excuse for there being lack of work!
    Most companies fall short on their promises

    either in the interview or in the first few weeks of employment.  Just like any small business, things are more likely to go sour in the beginning and not the end (usually).  I have been through bait and switch with work and expectations in regards to scheduled time worked because I am an IC.  This is my biggest pet peeve. 


    I've been doing this for 19+ years. 


    My first SE job:  Dangled a job at a time and IM'd me literally to death.  I had to give it up.  My nerves were frazzled. 


    My first employee job:  Was wonderful, but I had a death in the family and had to give it up during the training phase - couldn't commit.  I was executor and decision maker.  When I went back a few weeks later to begin training, the company had changed my days to work - so I couldn't commit.  So whose fault is that?


    My online job I've had for over a year now and is wonderful.  They know the true meaning of IC.


    I have my own accounts that I've had for 10+ years and one new account that was a physician from an on-site job that I had and liked my work.  He's an ESL and begged me even when I really didn't want to have to pick-up tapes.


    Another company I have been in contact with through a friend's recommendation is now on the job board needing help, but told me they were only looking for acute care, so..........  Do I go there yet once more?  This would be an IC job. 


    Your post is long, but I can tell you this:  You will have a hard time finding companies that pay, are willing to give you a steady stream of work, and come through on what is promised.


    As far as the company providing HR and equipment, they should.  I test for free, I train for free, and I study and learn new accounts for free until I've built up production.  No one is that productive on a new dictator from day one especially mixing that with learning a new platform. 


    So, yes job-hoppers are there, but what can we call MTSOs that advertise and then not come through in the end for us MTs?  I guess there are no names for that.........  What do we call an MTSO that treats us like employees, but pay us low wages as an IC? 


    I love my job! 


    Most national holidays fall on Monday.
    .
    when you rock that boat, you may fall overboard
    Unionizing is not the answer. all that does is make the union richer instead not the MTSO. It doesn't make the employee any richer, for sure. My union experience in the past has hurt me more than helped me, and I would never want to be part of any union again. Union bargaining hat costs thousands of thousands of jobs in this country. But the union goes on, just the working people are out of a job.
    I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
    She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
    Of course lets not forget all our little offshore MTs that they can fall back on if a lot of SEs
    leave. They waited until they had all this in place before they dumped on us dont worry. Why do you think they hired a lot of new corporate people that work with overseas companies. Go figure.

    No affiliation with Transend, but that was a DAMN good post and fall under
    all companies, all posts. These same "cheerleaders" have posted negative on other companies IM SURE, but yet when they find their place they think it okay to bash others who have not. Very annoying. There is nothing wrong with giving neg/pos on companies, but it should NOT lead to an argument, bashing, etc. When making a decision a pro/con list is very affective and those looking for a new company or doing just that by reading this information. I have turned jobs down solely for the "attitudes" of the cheerleaders. I figure if they have people that snotty and high and mighty working for them, I don't want to be in that category or atmosphere!!
    Well, I fall above the average I guess. Would rather not post as not to make others feel bad or thin

    Archieved info from Futurenet is kinda old (fall of 2008) and was wondering how things are now? sm
    Got an offer... they admitted to lots of ESLs which is nothing new to me.   Being an IC is nothing new to me either.  The recruiter was a doll.  I like to work independently, don't mind running out of work once in a while as that's the way things go at certain times of the year in this biz, but want pretty steady work most of the time.  I don't mind being asked to work extra.  I don't mind working one weekend day.  I don't need a ton of flexibility all the time, but don't want to be called if I am half an hour late one day and hope to be trusted to make it up myself. I don't want or need to be babysat.  Will I be happy, I ask the 8 ball?   
    The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
    I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
    that person go.
