Latest excuse about OSI offshoring

Posted By: OSI on 2007-08-15
In Reply to: New OSI policies - NO WAY JOSE

Offshore labor is used only for accounts that have insisted that we provide an offshore solution to their transcription needs.

No sane MT would ever believe that a hospital has insisted on offshore MTs. They may have asked for lower rates and in order to land the account OSi itself insisted on using offshore labor.

I have known people who worked for the facilities where work is offshored and THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT IS OFFSHORED.

Anyone hear or know what's going on at SoftScript? I've been hearing a lot of rumors (or facts, perhaps!). Fill us in....

OMG just saw the latest newsletter - LOL!
LOL LOL
Latest on Amphion?
Hi.  I'm thinking of applying there.  What is the latest on this company?  Do they have a high turnover rate or do they seem to keep employees?  Are you switched around on accounts much?  Do they make you pay for your computer?  How picky are they about keeping schedules?  What is their platform like?  Any info would be appreciated -- don't want to waste my time if they are a bad company.
latest news
You're right. DSG made me absolutely miserable. I finally quit. The lack of organization, the constant changing of the specs for each account, the constant shuffling of which accounts you worked on, now keep a log of all cc's sent per report and send it to operations each day, plus the fluctuations of work available just got to be crazy.
I think this had been a very good company and it's sad that something has gone terribly wrong. They need to step back and look at their management style and their growth, and reassess what's going on. They can't keep experienced MTs or QA people, they are now loaded with very inexperienced MTs. They are in deep waters and need to take notice.
What is the latest with Spheris?
Anybody happy, not happy?  Do they offer statutory?
According to their latest post (elsewhere) she is
She recruits.  It's not her fault they cannot keep people.  Their platform stinks and alot of look-ups are required.  She's got a great job.  Half the time she's never in the office!  lol
Transolutions latest?
Are there happy campers at Transolutions? 
I also tried it. Even bought the latest..sm
version they claimed to be so much better etc. I tried it and it was a complete waste of time and money. It does not work like they say and I spent a considerable amount of time with it. IT is the way to go. Much more worth it and so much easier.
latest TSI info is just another lie

I'm posting on this board and will also post on the main board.  But those of you who have been ripped off by Jayne Mattingly from TSI (Illinois) may have received an email stating she would send us the contact info of her 'partner' who 'seized' the acct.  Well, don't bother calling the phone number of the 'partner' as it has been disconnected.  Weird huh.  Also, it's not a partner..its her attorney who is just going to fool around some more and never pay us.  You could email her and ask for the correct one, but good luck with that.  I saw a post about contacting the attorney general (yeah, apparently other people dont get paid) and I plan on looking into that more and will let you know what i find out.  Also, if you are interested the local newspaper is Herald and Review.  Might be an interesting story for them....would love to read the story Local Businesswoman Pockets $1,000s from a Government Contract and Never Paid the People Doing the Work  I sent a quick note...would probably help if others did.


sorry, but what I see is *latest messages* ,,,sm
not *related messages*, unless yours is showing something different than mine.
Latest on Cardioscribes

I didn't see anything particularly recent in the archives on Cardioscribes and wondered if any current or recent employees would care to share any info about how things are there.  Are most accounts straight typing or VR?  On the overall, how are the dictators and the audio quality?  Is the pay decent and on time? 


Any info anyone would care to share would be greatly appreciated.  Email privately if you prefer.


TIA!!!


 


MDI's latest propaganda
Did anyone else see the latest missive from Dorothy?  It is kind of a rah-rah piece where she is going to have another conference call next week where we can hear the confidence in her voice (yeah, I would be confident, too, if I had just sold my company for 16 mil) and how we are all committed to excellence in our DNA!  Wow.  Perhaps if MDI folds, their officers can all get jobs writing advertising slogans on Madison Avenue.  Meanwhile, no answers to our practical questions.......
Oh, Gawd, if you could only see the latest newsletter
OSI has been the subject of so much discussion, it just does not get any better. LOL LOL

It is actually a joy to work at OSi because it is so ridiculous that there is never a dull moment. I can't believe that she would have the nerve to post another stupid travelog.
$12.50/hr. is their latest fabulous pay scheme.

Whats the latest on this company?
I had heard at one time they were a great company to work for, are they still maintaining that status?
Webmedx-Latest info?
Any recent info on how they are to work for now?  Looking for steady workflow (understand seasonal slumps), is the insurance good/affordable, and what kind of time off do you get?  Any help would be most appreciated.  Thanks!

Any latest news on Davis Transcription?
They tried to rehire me back last month and I have not heard a word from them.  Heard they got bought out by another company which does not surprise me at all.  Any latest news on this crazy company?

Didn't you just LOVE the latest TT email?

Congratulating us for getting all the work caught up last night and pointing out we weren't EVEN OFFERED A BONUS.  Nice.  Yes, those of us at TT are so desparate for work that when it finally shows up, we don't need a bonus to work our fingers to the bone and those in Management crow about it. 


Made me throw up a bit in my mouth. 


Didn't you hear the latest? They are wanting everyone to submit a name ...sm
change through the local chapters to be able to include everyone.

Who invited the Indians anyway???
The latest large incentive they're talking about is...sm
for the BeyondTXT editing program and details were given to everyone working on that platform. Other incentives are for various accounts at various times and details are provided by the ROM for those accounts as those incentives are put into place. The holiday incentive is for everyone, MDI as well as Transcend employees. This is for 3 cpl for all lines transcribed on the 6 national holidays as long as you meet the criteria outlined in the policy. If you do not have a copy of this and would like to receive it, e-mail me and I'll be happy to send it to you.
Latest, related, same difference. Copy and pasted.

Excuse me.....what?
we need more details please.
Excuse me, but...
I would say 200 million in DEBT is pretty much going down the tubes.  HS was a great place to work, but Spheris leaves much to be desired.  I won't even dignify your last comment with a response. lol  I was with HS since the very early days, so I am sure I was with the same company longer than you were, as I just recently left myself.  Oh wait, every company I ever left? Let's see, 8 years at one and 7 years at the other one.  I would say that was a pretty good track record, dear.  Sorry you had to make it personal.
Excuse me? But where, exactly did
I simply expressed that radiology and pathology will always be around and need to be transcribed and that the school sounds like the cost is too much. Where am I missing the bullying/harass?
excuse me? you don't know me...sm

ooh - someone woke up nasty or stayed nasty all day, huh?


IF you are presuming to know me, you're coming out of left field...and you have a choice - you did not have to respond.......


Go enjoy your weekend - hope it doesn't rain anymore on your parade.......          


              


Excuse me! Wow.

Excuse me? If I say they did, they did. I ought
to know. My start date was the 1st of the month. Actually my first payday was supposed to be in the bank the 15th of the next month. So do not tell me NEVER when it happened to me. I also know others it happened to also. I do not post things that are not true. I have all of that information and the emails that went with it saved so if you want to post an untruth and say it never happened, you don't know what you are talking about or your memory has lapsed...depending on which KS MT or mgmt person you are. You won't intimidate me dearie, not when my bank account is the best proof along with the documents that support it.
another excuse
I worked for a company that said they maile dchecks Tuesday but it was postmarked friday, and the best excuse was that their bank had an error and they had to wait to send checks, and when they went out - they bounced, so another week or two before the money actually came - anybody ever have dealings with a bank that in themiddle of having the account they began holding your checks for mor etime - usually that is beacuse you bounced to many outgoing, so they hold your deposits - but as MT we are stupid and must believe the hype. I say if a check bounces, press charges, show them we mean business, and if oay is late - tack on surcharges, after all you are contracted for work and pay date is part of the contract. there should be no ecuses, we are not allowed any room for our TAT, we work very hard for the money
There is no excuse for this
The company I work for I don't have to rely on the dictaphone website for my line count where I work now, I look under the sessions stats which are DISABLED on your system. Even if there is a lag there is no excuse for the awful line count, the line count lag has nothing to do with your production. You can put all the shortcuts you want in but your're still gonna work your fingers to the bone. I do about 270 lines/hr now, where I used to do about 150 there if that and that was really struggling. When there is that much descrepancy then I have to wonder what the difference is. Headers and footers are not counted on the account I work on either. Hope things have changed for your sake, if so, thats just great and i wish you luck!
Excuse me but...
I am not the one calling someone small minded. I do fit in at DSG. It is a great place to work if you are a dedicated hardworking MT, so thanks for the compliment and good luck with your job hopping. Hope company #26 will be able to please you.
Well, excuse me!!!!
make roughly $15 an hour? But you REFUSE to do high ESL's. I am glad to know that you can find a job and be able to REFUSE work and make your coworkers pull the load. HEY, KSMT2, how does that make you feel? LMAO. You two are a joke!!!!!!
That's always the excuse

You must not have met their standards.  No, they are just a lousy, disorganized company.  They did not meet my standards, and I am not the only one.  There are many MTs who have had the same exact experience.  This is not new information.


To Excuse me?
Well stated!
Excuse me????
Who do you think you are to say this has never happened to me?  I have been an MT for 20 years!!    Aren't you doing the same thing as the cherry pickers by whining about the crappy report you got?  You guys actually look up the job to see if someone dumped it?  Are you that pathetic as well that you can't handle transcribing the thing either?  It boils down to this - If you are good, not a single report will slow you down.  If you are a terrible MT who only can do easy reports, well, I could care less what you throw back in the pile.  If my child happened to see a doc who was ESL and an MT started whining about getting the crappy report and spent even a second trying to see if someone was cherry picking - well, I would fire their lazy butt!!  All I'm saying is do the darn reports and quit worrying about people who cheat, they aren't any good anyway!   You guys call yourself MTs?  Please!  More like a bunch of babies!   This is why being an MT is no longer considered a profession.  There was a day when we cared about doing our part for the physicians and the patients.  Now we have a bunch of typists complaining and whining.  We actually used to get paid very well!  I can see why rates have gone down - there aren't any real MTs out there anymore. 
Excuse me?
You guys are such a joke! 
Excuse me?
When did I defend anyone?  No wonder you get so upset about having to do the lousy reports, you can't even read!   This is a waste of time.  Have fun being paranoid....wah...wah...everyone else is getting the good reports....poor us!    Sheesh!
Excuse me?

I say again - you can't read nor do you understand the definition of words.  Ignore means refusing to take notice of or to reject.  if does not mean to defend.  MyGosh!  Please tell me you are not an MT?  You are just making it worse for yourself.  Give up now, ok?   


Excuse me? sm
I don't work for TT but, in my opinion,  if your statement rings true that lead MTs take/get work when others don't have any, that's gross mismanagement and should be delt with somehow, through emails to upper management. It's bad everywhere, low work, ASR lower wages, but there is no excuse for such behavior.
Always an excuse
Sounds my company.   Raises are as rare as hens teeth. I know that the economy is bad but they always try to find an excuse not to give us a decent raise.
Excuse me mis Desertflour, but unless you have my name - sm
I suggest you shut your trap. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. And as a matter of fact, Miss knowitall, you do not know who I am whatsoever. And if you do have my name, I suggest you go ahead and type it on this board. Because I can bet your pathetic paycheck that you do not know who I am.
