Isn't that the MTStars Administrator/owner's business?

It has nothing to do with MTStars or the owner of MTStars. It
has to do with the fact that the person who posted gave enough information that the company recognized who it was.  We, at MTStars, do not give anyone information about who posts what.
The owner of MTStars?
I thought Sheri owned it? (though I haven't been here in a while)
As a business owner
I have had people give notice and then NOT work their full shifts because they were leaving. Contracts can stipulate that you can be deducted pay for not fulfilling your contract.

Anyway, there are other methods to collect funds owed, if they are due.

I just do not feel that public character assassination is an appropriate manner to do so.

Walk a mile in my shoes!
LOLOL--business owner
Like I said, you must be her kid. And just for the record, I was not interviewing for the job! You don't listen. I am a business owner. So I don't need to be hired, nor am I 13. I am an honest business for 20 years trying to help MTs make a decision. If you don't take the warning, that is your choice.
I'm also a true IC; not a business owner

I subcontract for a very small business.  I have one of my own accounts (so I am the contractor for that account), and I also subcontract for an online company. 


Your comment:  with the exception that I don't work for an MTSO who is making money off me while I'm doing all the work.


You are not doing all the work if you are not being the person that has to answer requests directly and collect money from that practice.  As you should know, there are administrative tasks involved in maintaining your clients. 


An MTSO will pay less because they need to make the money for doing the administrative tasks. 


I am doing both.  I have expected the online company to supply me with sample reports and also I was trained on their software, which is only fair since they want me to send things to them through their software, which I agreed to do in my contract.  I have no quota, set schedule, or any of the such.  I type when I want to do the work from a pool.  To me, this arrangement is perfect.  I can simply sit and type all online and am not worrying whether I'll get paid on time because it has never been a problem.


I guess the point I am making here is that when you are the contractor, you can use your system when setting up your clients.  Even though I consider the online MTSO my client (I'm the subcontractor), I agreed to use their software, and I also was trained to do so. 


To state to someone that an IC requires no training is just outrageous especially when that MTSO wants you to use their software, equipment, client specs, etc.  If it were the other way around, then you would tell the MTSO what software you use and then you would require no training and could create your own client specs.  The MTSO cannot have it both ways.  It's one or the other. 


JMO. 


For a business owner, you sure have a lot of spare time!
And quite the potty mouth. Poor bitter thing!
They snowballed you. The owner is a young man who inherited the business. sm
He has no transcription background, although that does not always matter.

Most of their accounts are Meditech. They are fairly small, with about 80 MT's.

No negative feedback on them so far, which is always a plus.
Do you feel better now? !! Business is business, most of it should be confidential. Why post on a
x
Trying to build his business? He's been in business over 15 years!!!!!! sm
I also had a hard time, nearly impossible actually, getting paid. The owner does this on the side; he is very involved with other things.
So administrator..is OSi done for here now??
xx
I wonder why the Administrator
as she so frequently does? Question for the Administrator...Is it true that any negative posts of companies who advertise on this board are deleted??? If so, why is this? If this is not true, why was the string about Transcription Matchmaker deleted?
ADMINISTRATOR
Is there any way that you can make a requirement that MTSO's who post on the job board list the name of their company.

I have responded to some of the anonymous posts by sending my resume and never ever hear a word back. It makes me uneasy because my address and phone number is on my resume.

After giving this some thought, why would a legitimate company post anonymously. On all other sites, companies who post jobs must list the company name.

Please consider making this a requirement.

Thanks.
To the ADMINISTRATOR
I have received unsolicited email from this site and do not like it at all.

As the posts get older, will they eventually drop our 'email me' link?
Way to go, administrator!!
Thank you for speaking for all of us!
Administrator

What does a little hand pointing in front of a post mean?  I am searching for a post of mine that looks as if it has been deleted.  While searching I came across a reply of mine to a post, and there is this hand in front of it, and you cannot open my reply.  I feel as if I am being boycotted or something - - LOL!  Seriously, what is going on?


Administrator
It's great you removed the post, but I didn't get to see it. Wondering if it wouldn't be fair to name the company so those of us who didn't see it will know what type of company we are dealing with if/when they repost an ad?

You could leave the ad and the company up as an example of how to get your ad deleted... what *not* to post.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.

We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.

We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
Administrator-just curious
what was offensive about my post that caused it to be deleted?  Not a regular poster but wondering what is considered offensive?  No name calling, no swearing, yet....the rude and aggressive posts are allowed to remain.  Makes no sense to me. 
I will pass that along to the Administrator. Thank you. (NM)

No. Only the Administrator and moderators. NM

ADMINISTRATOR and others regarding TPJS

I just thought I would let you and others know about a job that is posted on the job board.  It was a ACUTE CARE MTS/EDITOR position that offer hourly wages.  To me this sounds like a BIG SCAM.  They send you an email stating that they are delighted to offer you a transcription position within a certain hourly range but then as you read further it states Please remit $25.00 for your independent contractor background check. We
accept credit cards, debit cards, money orders, money grams and cashier
checks as a form of payment.

Please note: We do not accept personal check.  They go by the company name of Telecommuting Personnel Job Services or TPJS, Inc.


The ad never had the companies name in it as well.


I would think that if a company wants to hire you and do a background check that they would pay for it!


Do you think this sounds like a SCAM??


Administrator - Another job ad w/o company name
.
E-mail the administrator.
company name identified. 
Administrator...I have text set for largest, but

...have to keep the settings in control panel as is for my job.  The text is awfully small.  Would there be any other way to enlarge it, or do I have to make-do?  


I love the site and the changes, too, just find it rather small.  Unfortunately, on my end, I can not change any other settings, and the +/- does not work for me, either. 


Send you comments to the Administrator. (SM)
Be care of the tone and remarks on this board.
ADMINISTRATOR, MODERATOR, please explain (sm)
Why does clicking on the OSi link say no offshoring activities reported after they have been banned from advertising on MTStars for proven offshoring?
Only if administrator of board can be given proof.
nm
I am sure the Administrator is looking into this. Don't make assumptions. nm

Yes, administrator/moderator has posted that
.

I have reported this message to the Administrator

This has got to be the most unprofessional situation I have ever witnessed.  I cannot believe it.


This question was addressed with Administrator. (SM)
Job listings are written by the companies posting the listing. We do not define how they make their own listings.

If you feel uncomfortable sending a resume to an unidentified company, then you should not. Perhaps an e-mail to them asking for identification first.

I thought that was the Administrator and BuckeyeLil! nm

Please email the Administrator regarding CorTMedical
/
To ADMINISTRATOR: Is this a legit company?
I hope that this isn't someone's idea of a joke as I have already sent my resume. I find absolutely nothing on the internet regarding a company with this name. The ads indicate that they have several accounts already...why can't I find anything on this company?
I say have the administrator check the IP addresses
That's the only way to know for sure!!  Can you do that, administrator?? 
Administrator: Jill on Job Board
Job listing for Docshuttle Experienced MT - Part Time has no company name. Any info?
Please forward those e-mails to the Administrator. SM
The Administrator will handle those harassing e-mails.

The address is admin@mtstars.com.

ADMINISTRATOR, what company is she advertising for, please? nm

Administrator Why is Webmedx posting here they OUTSOURCE!
nm
They told the board administrator that they didn't
offshore, when there was proof that they did.   Whether or not they posted the other stuff I don't know, but they lied and got caught at it and if that doesn't make them look bad, considering how sensitive an issue offshoring is,  I don't know what will.   They probably didn't think they would get caught. 
Do you have proof that JLG outsources offshore? If so, please email the Administrator.
admin@mtstars.com
maybe administrator read it wrong and thought it was bad - but I wasn't saying
anything bad. Just an observation and just a vent. Maybe it belonged on the Gab board. Siiiiggghhh
Thank you and thank MTStars..NM

Maybe MTStars

is also hindering your production?


MTStars

This board is really a great help when looking for employment.   There are many positive posts that turn out to be decent companies, and then there are also negative posts about experiences each person has had.   Both perspectives should be allowed and not discouraged with threats.  Just maybe, these companies that are trying to decrease our wages even further and are deceptive in their business practices will be put out of business eventually and we might see a new trend.  There are a few businesses posted about regularly on this board that have the same issues come up time and time again.  I see these as red flags.   On the flip side it is just as important to let people know if you've found a good thing (this does not include recruiters on here making untruthful posts for their benefit).  This might encourage companies that are treating their MTs well and are above reproach to continue to strive towards making this once again a decent career path. One could only hope that a board like this would be able to make a significant difference in the way things have been going by networking and sharing our information.

But what about those ads up at the top of MTStars? Those
are their sponsers/advertisers.  One of those could also place a job post with MTstars.
If anyone has definitive proof that OSI is outsourcing offshore, please email the Administrator
and I would be most interested as the owners of OSi say differently.  My email address is admin@mtstars.com.  Your responses will be held in complete confidence.  Thank you.
