That is the exact reason why I am looking for a new company is voice recognition that my account just started doing very heavily, and I HATE it! If I don't get an e-mail response from them by Monday, I might call them to see if they have any current openings.

Read the archives. Someone else just asked about
them this week. They are not a good company.
Oops!!! B-wear??? what does that mean. I read some posts but I could not see that anyone clarified
what the benefits were changing to...Anyone??
Exact question asked last week. Read old posts.
Please read BEFORE you respond - they asked about the WI Accustat and you gave very WRONG informatio

Oops, this should go under the post
Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.
zzzzz
oops sorry the typos - my 1st post.
You definitely cannot tell I have 19 yrs of experience by that post!! Yikes. Sorry about that. I think you can figure out what I mean, though. Thanks for your help.
Oops. There is a brief message to above post. nm

I asked for the above post.... more
....to be removed. I asked nicely. The administrators on this site decided not to take it down. How sweet of them to do that.
Be careful of posting on sites that don't allow self-editing or self-deleting. If you make an error, stupid or not, it's yours to eat. The people here will not help you.
oops - misread post- confused with another

OOPS! SOrry, that post above should say from MTSO not MTSO2! :) nm

Oops, sorry. Looked at wrong post.

I had a post removed too and all I asked was about
companies that hire for Radiology.
OK< but the post asked who would SUPPORT
the concept?
You are *totally* entitled to having all or mostly negative feelings toward unions - they can be just as bad as nothing.
So, we'll put you down for a no thanks and move on... :)
post asked about 10 cpl for transcribing, not VR

Oops, meant to post under credit check
That really irks me that a company thinks they can run someone's credit without authorization - business like them need to pay through the pocketbook - maybe they will learn a lesson.
I don't mind undergoing credit check if I'm told in advance and I authorize it - but I would DEFINITELY go after a company for the maximum penalties allowed  if it ran one without my consent.
From above post. Oops, meant my MTSO support

I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer
xx
Do not outsource to India, outsource a small amount to Phillipines.

Your post doesn't answer the question I asked.
You said you LIKE to pay your bills, you have a good rapport with your supervisor, you're flexible. Does "you're flexible" mean that you work in addition to your 8-hour shift when the work load is low to make your 20K lines per pay period?
Maybe because not ALL companies post there. He/She just asked a simple question!

Too busy working to post anything...plus no one has asked any questions about them lately...

I just asked the moderator to remove Denise's post...sm
from the board. Since we all figured that she must be new on this board making such a faux pas, I thought that she does not know how to tell the moderator to remove her post.
I read your post. What do you want me to re-read?
and it seems those are your posts, too, so things just didn't add up and seemed inconsistent. If a place dropped me down to p.r.n. at 7 cpl or whatever and I already had another job where I could get 1000-1500 lines, I wouldn't give the first place a second thought so just couldn't figure out why anyone else would.
DUH, read my post again
It has not happened to me, nope. Also, I don't know of anyone that it has happened to. We have a forum that we can post on and no one has said anything of the sort on it. Why is that? Why would you come on here and post instead of on our forum if there is a problem? I have seen other issues brought up on the forum and have not ever seen them called emotional.
Also, if I was an MT that has been there for years and found that I wasn't getting paid what a newbie was with the same experience or less, and I knew I had been making my line count and been a good employee, I would say something. I would demand a raise. If I didn't get what I was worth, I would find a new job that would pay me what I was worth. As a matter of fact, this is exactly what I did. I have plenty of experience and was not getting paid well. So, I asked for raise and was told they couldn't give me one. So, I left and found a better paying job. I didn't stick around to become a complainer. I mean, who else is going to take care of you if you don't? Whose responsibility is it to make sure you are getting paid well or treated well?
Did you even really read my post? sm
Gosh oh gee. I said, nurses are making more money not less, like MTs. That is ALL I said. How in the WORLD you got all that out of my short post I will never know but it is sure being blown out of proportion. I have the greatest respect for nurses. Stop trying to put words in my mouth, please.
Thanks, I did read Not Me's post....s/m
and I responded there too.....with a different name is all...
it takes great minds to think alike....and we cannot convince the entire world.....but we can make change in our own little groups in our families and friends and hopefully everyone will pass around the good stuff! The love and compassion....
I think you need to re-read my post.
I think you need to re-read my post. I said they were TRIVIAL. I didn't say that I did not CARE. I didn't say that I sent out terrible reports to make my work go to India. How do you suppose when there is more than one way to do something you chose the right way depending on what person is checking work?
I have read your post and all the
others down the page and I agree with you completely. I left a company last year because the QA person just would not let anything I did alone when it came to punctuation. You are correct when you say that punctuation is a style issue and except in cases where it would change the meaning of a sentence, it should be left up to the MT to use as she thinks/knows is correct. I am now with a company who uses this policy. When I was on direct QA for a new account, my QA person did sometimes change punctuation, but this only reflected her own style preference. She made sure to tell me that this did not count against me and that my style was also correct. If I were you and they keep this up, I would look elsewhere to preserve my sanity.
No, not in QA (if you would read my post below)
the one that begins, no, no, what I meant was if your work is accurate and doesn't require much QA. I don't know the percentage of accuracy; I don't remember, but it is a bonus for the MT's, not the QA people. I have no idea if they get bonuses, nor do I care.
I don't think you read that in a post
Why would they mess up a good thing? I think you are mistaken.
Read the post
Read the post on the main board, I think it was a couple days ago, labeled the downward spiral of the medical transcriptionist, again this proves everything written is true and happening on a daily basis.
I should have read your post first sm
because I said almost the same thing in mine. Sorry!
What post did you read?
She asked where the good dictators went, and the reply was that off-shore MTs were sent the good dictators.
What a way to punish the good dictators. Now they get crap back for no reason, unless some poor American is assigned to clean up the mess.
maybe you should read my post again...
I have 2 (two) IC jobs and they do me just fine--I mean $4000 take home fine. CHEERS!
I read your post and just for fun,
sent a mexican rice recipe to that address that you send the sample dictation. I got that same job offer e-mail afterwards. It's all automated, all a scam. I went on live chat and pointed this out, and they disconnected the chat after a short while. Oh well, I feel good knowing the time they wasted on me they weren't taking anyone's money (mine or someone else's).
Did you clearly read my post?
There IS another company involved even though you are told there isn't and i just found this out recently after working for FN for a few years
Well, since this is the first post I have read
including the archives with that information I am just going to continue to look forward to the position. If there is not enough work, I will go back to the recruiter and work with her. THey are hiring from what I understand because they are growing, not for turnaround, so I am not goign to assume there is no work. I will not worry, and I suggest that you do not worry until after there is no work, and after the supervisor cannot give answers. We should know pretty soon which is true. For me, I heard the place is a good one, and I have more reason to believe that at this time.
Read my post, it says- over 20
and no I am not that person you speak of- my pay is less than that - but with my speed it is possible to make OVER 20 an hour and I do not have to work full so my salary very satisfactory to me.
Read the OP's post on p.2. How can sm
you say they're not up to something? What they are doing is farming out the work to this J & J transcription company and really who knows if there are other companies they send work to.
I had to read my post again to see
what I wrote as no one who posted a reply even addressed my query.
I sure didn't need any reinforcement as to how crummy this line of work is.
did you not read her post.? She said sm
we need people who are willing to do what it takes to get the work done when it needs to be done. this is what the profession is and always has been. Its just been the last 10 or so years that the real primadonnas the ones without years of experience coming out of these limited schools are demanding all these bankers hours, greater pay than warrants for their experience, etc. etc. It has run this business into the ground.
I am repeating myself for the umpteenth time, but those who have been doing this for years know what it takes to be in this business and it is willingness to work when needed. This is not and never will be a 9-5 job only, a day job only, etc. etc. If you can find a job like that I hope you do but you will get limited experience. The ones that are working all these shifts and willing to do what it takes are getting the experience and they will have jobs. Its not a hopeful situation for alot of us who are willing to work where and when the work is there.
Read my post again
I realize you want to defend them and they may have many positives but in *my* case, I was specifically called back to fill a position, immediately finished and passed all tests. Then the *position* mysteriously vanished.
They didn't even seem to realize how this looked to me (the candidate)... which was suspicious at worst and careless at best
BEST post I have ever read on here!
I am SO tired of seeing the managers tell day people to just flex to evening and nights,... So those of us on nights end up working ALL f#cking night to try and get in our hours. I gave up and I work into the DAY now, so I have their work stolen from THEM before THEY start their day. The managers and their JUST FLEX EVERYBODY policy is retarded. It's chaos!!! Now we're ALL running out of work, all of us have had our salaries slashed due to ISR our health benefits have doubled in cost... It's just rediculous. While they have conferences to tell us how well THEY are doing and what companies/ schools they purchased, while the rest of us are broke an dout of our minds from lack of time AWAY from the computer/work. Evil.
I would re-read your OWN post
if you want to see what a childish tantrum reads like...
NONE of the posters said they wouldn't work weekends; they are objecting to an EVERY weekend requirement.
Read my post ... SM
Again, for the millionth time: ALL OPINIONS ARE WELCOME ON THIS BOARD.
You WILL find opinions you do not agree with. If you see a particular poster, using the same moniker, that you do not share views with, be an adult and skip their posts. You will have to grow a thicker skin, be a little more proactive on what you read and don't, or simply just allow everyone to have their own perspectives.
You do NOT want me to moderate this board for niceness - trust me.
If you have a problem with a post, report it. I will review it to see if needs action. However, complaining on the board like this is not appropriate. Complaining about other posters' opinions will not necessary get you any where.
ALL OPINIONS ARE WELCOME. Having the few posting guidelines that we do, we strive to keep this as open for free expression as possible.

If you read my post, the explanation is all there!

If you bothered to read my post--
there were other problems as well. There were problems in all of their depts, not just QA. Let's just say that communication is not one of OSi's strong points. The company's overall attitude played a big part in my decision to leave. I also stated that there are some people who work there that are wonderful and I have no clue why they have not left yet.
I would like to know how you know what my attitude is? I am stating my experiences, you are the angry one. How would you "know" how I take my feedback, whether I blame people, etc, unless you are in the QA Dept? What's my opinion to you, anyway? What makes you such an "expert" of knowing people's attitudes over the years? So, what reason do you have for your panties in a twist? What's YOUR problem and why are you defending OSi so vigorously? You sure are taking this rather personally for someone who is not "involved".
I am not the only person who has had problems with OSi. Apparently there are a lot more out there after reading some of the other posts. We can't ALL be wrong about this company. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if there is smoke, there is fire.
If you bothered to read my post
I agree with you dear
WEll the bottom line is if you don't want to hear anything that is posted here, then don't read it. It's as simple as that. It appears some people are complaining and posting about people who are posting. I have to laugh at that. Bottom line also, people are not happy at OSi and talking to a supervisor there is like talking to a wall. People are upset because we have a QA Manager who doesn't know anything and is not qualified to do her job and Management does not care. I think their opinion is "oh well, so that one quit, we will just hire another one". Do not ever believe you cannot be repaced. Unfortunately, people looking for jobs and are turned off by OSI. If anyone ever asked me a question about OSI i would be perfectly honest and state my feelings and then refer them to this board. After all this is a "company forum" that's what it is here for. I personally am not one sugar-coat anything unless it's the truth. I have to agree that most of the posts here are right on target. And that's why I am soon to be out of here too.
Guess I should have read this post first, huh ;-)
Can you be more specific as to what you need to know about a C-phone? I'll help if I can
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the post threads - sm
throughout this board. they are a scam. DO NOT APPLY WITH THIS COMPANY. There have been articles in magazines and internet postings about this company. THEY ARE A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
