Ola Corporate Services
I just want to praise this owner and company.  I have worked there for a couple of years now, and she is awesome!  Very easy to get along with--work is always available in whatever amount I request--and pay is ALWAYS on time and no hassles.  I love working here!
Info on OLA Corporate Services
in California. I have never heard of this one! Anyone have any info on it?  Thanks!
Where at - in the corporate office?
or maybe you are management and get paid by the hour. I am guessing probably the hourly paid since you do seem to have a lot of time on your hands chatting all day.

I have 16 years experience and I did not maintain a job for this long with no skill.

Perhaps you should work on some SOCIAL SKILLS - you think? I have always heard if you're good at something you don't have toot your own horn, but you go right ahead and sing your own praises.
The corporate media
they are ALL ABOUT protecting other corporations - and censoring the news is what they do best. Just look at bush.
This is a perfect example of either corporate
We feel hopeful and excited that maybe, MAYBE, if the cosmos and stars align and unite, our employers may toss us a blessed $25 gift card, and you DARE BASH THAT HOPE???  I hope to get one as it will feed my kids for a decent LUNCH for once.  You bash us with our hopes and its A-OK for corporate execs to DEMAND their Christmas bonuses which generally run in the 6 DIGITS, and often 7.  Yup, that's not greedy, that's not childish, but a bunch of honest, hard working trusting soles transcribing for the health and safety of patients world wide are CHILDISH AND GREEDY for hoping for a crumb of the MONEY THEY MADE by the skin of their fingers for their CEOs.  Get a life. You are either swill of the earth or one of the CEOs typing with 1 dirty finger on your laptop in your corporate jet.  Fly off!
Corporate mentality
I am sure at least some of you saw on the news about the hospital shootings in Calif. yesterday. I was just talking to my neighbor today, who is a Occupational Therapist there. She was saying how bad the atmosphere in the entire hospital has been for the past 8 months. Somewhere along the line I think the compassion and caring has gone out of corporate healthcare. It is only about the almightly dollar now. This particular facility has been very secretative about lay-offs in the past months. People get called in and told you have 15 minutes to be out of the building. What ever happened to two weeks notice, they want their employees to give them two weeks notice before they quit but when they want to get rid of someone they just smack them in the face with it. The rumors were flying that there were going to be more layoffs and the shooter, whom everyone says was a really great guy, was apparently stressed out over the fact that he would be let go. It is a sad situation all over but if the corporations would care more about their employees and less about saving a buck morale in this country would be alot better than it is right now. My neighbor said they brought in a new CEO and that is when things got really bad. The real tragedy is that the manager of the department he worked in had just come up with a plan by changing schedules, and cutting costs in some other areas he was not going to have to lay anyone off. Everyone is saying if only the guy had talked to his boss. 8 kids are now without fathers. The hospital spokesperson steadfastly denied any future layoffs but the rumor is they are going to happen in June, it will be interesting to see how they do that after they got on nationwide TV and said no more layoffs are planned. A really tragic story, the guys who were all wonderful fathers gone for nothing.
not only the corporate mentality of sm
the way they treat employees but also the way the medical profession treats patients.

I have a chronic illness that puts me in the hospital every so often and I am telling you the care (or lack of) is ridiculous. Hubby works for this particular hospital for the last almost 20 years and he says he fears the day when some idiot comes in and starts mayhem. We did have an incident three years ago where some guy whose son had died went to the office where the doctor was at and shot and killed him. Worked out that he wasn't so ticked at the doc but he was ticked at the care his son got in the hospital and took it out on the doc. I am to the point I think the whole medical profession is something to stay away from.
Sorry, I dont. Maybe call Corporate.
:
Don't forget the corporate director of HR
He's a piece of work too, totally nuts!
I personally never give the corporate contact as
a reference. I always give a supervisor that I had as reference as they CAN give a reference. Many supervisors do not stay at companies and it is always better that they talk to someone who knows your work. HR has to go by the rules of just verification. You can give references though so get together with your supervisors and see if they will either give you their contact info or a letter of recommendation. That always helps. Right now with all the MTs out there looking, I would try to get my feet planted firmly on the ground as soon as possible.
Why not call the corporate office / payroll? nm

Corporate greed is driving it right out of existence
can afford to live in the United States and stay in MT. More & more of us are getting out. Some, like me, are trapped... been at it for too long (30+ years), and most of us are now what you would call the Working Poor. Back in my 20's when I came to that 'crossroads', I should've gone with my friend and learned court-reporting. So far their jobs haven't been teetering on the brink of extinction (yet), like ours are in MT.
Spoken like a true corporate sell-out.

Lisa and other corporate "hacks". You really outdid yourself on this one.
Been reading and watching a lot, but your posts are definitely the best I have ever seen as far as being totally inaccurate and misleading.

My first statement is that if Transcend is so ashamed of outsourcing/offshoring why do they do it. They need to be upfront about what they are doing and quit telling these lies. They do not just offshore work because there is no available help. They offshore work because it is cheaper. Too many nights I see 20 to 50 reports go flying off my screen while I work and I am left with nothing to do for the rest of my shift. If anyone cared about me and my having enough work, this would not be happening.

Transcend has publically stated that they use offshoring because it is cheaper - not because there is a lack of available help. They said they would not take work away from the domestics; but I guess my status is so low that I am not even considered a domestic. And your statement below that they would not use offshore if there was enough domestic help is completely absurd.

You and those other Fony ADHI people who have that stupid F after your name - those of you who think you are more important and better educated than the doctors - need to face reality. You picked up the phone after 'your public meeting and called Larry'. Who do you think you are? The most important person in the world? You are a brown-noser, trying to get settled into management by hobnobbing with the bigwigs. Did you ever stop to think that Larry might have far more important things to do than to chit-chat with you? Well, I guess it worked, you dug your way into a team lead position didn't you. And with that position you know just like everyone else knows that offshoring is not going away no matter how many state-side MLS there are in the company. You have just lost every ounce of credibility you may have had.

And how can you say that offshoring was your biggest objection to this merger. You obviously came over with TRS and they have a school in Barbados so even more work can be offshored. Did you object to them having offshore associates?

Lisa, its time for you baby ostriches to grow up and pull your head out of the sand and face reality. We do not believe you or anyone else that is trying to pass off these type of statements as true, just like we do not believe that we can make anywhere close to what we made with straight transcription by doing that VR stuff, especially with the problem-riddled platform that Transcend uses.

Things might settle down a little faster if you would just be honest.
I worked 30 years out in the corporate world
Suits are the same everywhere.  They sit on their asses in their fancy offices and rake in the dough and make the peons beneath them make their coffee and run their errands.  They rob from the poor and give to the rich!  I've talked to them, covered their butts, lied for them and even gave them sexual favors back when sexual harrassment was just a big word!  You must be married to one or you wouldn't be acting as if they poop golden eggs!  They produce NOTHING but spin tactics and good old boy networking!

All of Focus is indian-based, except their corporate office in MA.
That is a smoke screen to make it look like a US based company. Imagine, indian MTs editing you an American MT with 10+ years of experience, and changing correct terminology to incorrect terminology. I could go on and on, but I won't.

All tech support is india-based, all QA is india-based, most mts are in india, except for the MTs here in USA working for them, all of their account managers are in India working the night shift (their time), day time (our time).

If you are an AAMT member, they have a mailing list that corporate sm

Person from corporate contacting me via email regarding my posting today
I have no reason to meet with you, have a good job and certainly do not care to discuss with you where you send your work. I know what I read and it was quoted by a top official at your company. Even though you said the newspaper slanted the story like they wanted it to read, I saw quotes and never saw where the paper did a retracation of the story.
info on AMD Services/AmeriMed Data Services
Please help me. Does anyone know anything about AMD Services or AmeriMed Data Services. I have been offered a position with them and need to know if they pay good, etc. before I accept a position with them. Thanks in advance.

Could be one of the MS services down there, too. nm

There are still some services (sm)

which treat ICs like real ICs and expect them to have their own equipment, know how to use encrypt files, use an FTP site, and the like.  If you would like to email me with an idea of what sort of work you are looking for, I can probably suggest a couple of places to try.


Do you use Instant Text?  That's your best bet if you want an Expander that works well with almost every transcription platform.


I don't like working on platforms that dole my work out a job or 2 at a time.  I find I'm much more productive when I can download an allotment of files and prioritize them, doing the longer dictations and more difficult dictators when I'm freshest and saving the easy stuff for when I'm dragging a bit.


Anyone know anything about DTK Services in CT? nm

MRT Services
Yes, I have info. The reps that work the office are totally incompetant. They state that payment will be received within 30-45 days of the invoice for the services. It's not. The pay in trickles here and there, say they mailed checks when they didn't, and they are currently behind on payment several hundred dollars for my wife. We received two checks from them in two weeks, and then checks just stopped coming. She had not stopped working or had any significant gap in invoices, they're just not paying her. I am seriously irritated with them. I don't know anyone who needs a job, but doesn't need the money. They state they'll pay you in a particular amount of time, that's what they need to stick to. The defend themselves by saying their clients haven't paid. That is their problem! They try to pretend like it should matter to you that they haven't been paid, but the fact is, you're working for them, not their clients. They need to pay on the schedule they agreed to regardless. My wife now has to get a full time job because this isn't cutting it for paying our bills. Not only that, but when you agree to take a job at NOON, you don't get the job until 5 or 6 pm or even later!!!  That makes a big difference in whether or not you can do the job. They claim it's because they have to digitize the jobs. How long can that possibly take? They make too many excuses, don't pay on a schedule, are constantly late, and whine about little details. They constantly try to correct your grammar when they're actually wrong (wife has a degree in English). So thanks a lot MRT, you people need to get it together in a big way. And teach you front office who deals with your typists to be a little more respectful of their time and money, stop making excuses for your mishandling of your role. I would not recommend MRT Services to anyone. If you need money, get an actual job, because MRT is a joke.

they match up ppl with what services
they need...ie filing bankruptcy, they will link you with those resources. Lawyer referrals for what you need, not just a lawyer. If you use those services, you get a discount of one sort or another. Counseling, weight control, other life problems are free. Depends on what you need them for, but they are supposed to be pretty good. The hospital I work for has them for things like child care, elder care, cousneling, life matters, etc. Hope this helps.

Hi Patty - I have worked for Transcend for almost 3 years and am now a team lead. I have always found the company to be very fair in both pay scale and employee relations. They are very open to discussion about almost anything. I would say go for it. Email me if you would like. Sue
Has anyone tried those MT matchmaker services?..sm

I have been looking around at MT companies for months now and only apply to those that I would really want to work at, including being able to do work in my specialites, days/hours I prefer to work, pay rates that are acceptable to me (when stated in the ad), etc.  So there really aren't many that I have sent to overall, but I am flabergasted how many do not return my emails or email back saying that specific position is filled, but would I consider a different position/shift, etc... like a bait and switch before you're even hired.


I have over 12 years of experience and a decent resume of work done in the past for multiple types of transcription services and also includes that I've been with one national company my whole career so far which shows my loyalty and dedication, so I don't know why I'm not appealing to these companies.


Has something changed in the industry?  Several years ago I was going to leave my national and sent out resumes and every single one of them called or emailed back with an offer within the day... now, there's nothing.  Are the services just overwhelmed with resumes or are they shying away from experienced MTs or what's going on?


So my question is... Have any of you tried those matchmaker services where they match you up with companies looking for MTs with your skills?  Do they work?  Are they legit?  Do they cost?  Just because the companies are registered with them, does that mean they are legit companies, or is this a sort of an anything-goes type of thing?


Just wondering what other's experiences have been and whether it's worth trying something like this.  I put my resume on this board years ago and got spam, spam, spam, and no responses, so won't do that again.  Any other suggestions?  TIA!!
