You should be ashamed.

I am the daughter you are referring to. KS losing or getting rid of an account had nothing to do with me or my mother - to say the least. What a very vague and below-the-belt post. Be careful to make sure your facts are accurate, lest the truth be revealed. I left KS less than a year ago - quietly. It very unprofessional to post lies on a public board about obvious employees who have left. Anyone working at KS knows who you are referring to and many know the truth about why we left. I would love to know who the poster is. I think I know :)

They should be ashamed of themselves
Most of us who have complained or exhibited negativity toward this company have had experience in editing and producing quality work when MT'ing. Those of us who do have the experience in the work world, who do take pride in quality work, and who have enough sense to know what we are worth would never dream of taking a job paying 1.5 cpl in editing. It's a joke to be offered a cpl rate in editing to begin with, but this rate is more than a joke, it's an insult.
I did apply at one time to Shapin. They offered me 1.5 cpl in editing. It was an insult, and the woman who replied to my refusal was very unprofessional. She insisted that she made $4000/month. Well, if she was doing it at that rate, I imagine that she was churning out trash. The mathematical proof of a $4000/month paycheck at 1.5 cpl is just horrible.
So don't trash the ones who come onto boards and tell the truth about this company. You sound like you are either management with this company or else too new and inexperienced to know better. I would bet you're management though. They have embarrassed themselves multiple times in the past with antics like this.
These rates are shameful, and the attitudes of the Shapin employees/management are even worse. I pity them. The impression they are making on the professional world is definitely not impressive or enviable.
Fallyn
I am so ashamed...
That last rant was particularly insane. Please forgive me. I had no idea one of my multiple personalities had posted that. I really thought I was gaining control of things here, thanks to a new, experimental study medication I have been on. It does have a few side effects such as projectile diarrhea, whooping cough/country music syndrome and foul-smelling, cottonoid nasal discharge. However, if this medication works, it will all be worth it! And I shall never, ever, and I do promise this for ALL OF MY PERSONALITIES, EVER urinate on your activities of daily living again.
If this is who I think it is you should be ashamed.
If... just if.... it is, then you're not sharing the full story.
The full story is that the hospital had to supply a security fob to access their system. Each MT had to pass a security check from the hospital and then were issued this fob. There were a limited number of MTs given these.
One of the MTs received a fob and was set up for the account and then worked one day and then didn't work any more. Didn't return phone calls, didn't return e-mails, and then finally DID return a phone call when the company became concerned for the MTs safety and began checking hospitals and newspapers. She also did not return the security fob to the hospital, and the hospital began to threaten legal action against the company.
The MT then begged for her job back but was placed on a separate account and platform but was given a second chance, and did it again. Worked one day and then no word.
This same MT also refused to fill out the paperwork when the company changed payroll companies in order to receive either a check or direct deposit but demanded to be paid, and yet had not returned the first hospital's secuirty fob. In fact, refused to return it for months.
I only know this because I was in the awkward position of having been friends with this person and being the one who referred them (I use the term friend loosely, now; I learned a hard lesson) and was supposed to step in and take the account this person was on because the hospital was screaming bloody murder. Their work wasn't getting done, and yet no other MT could do it because the hospital's security system was compromised because of the refusal to return the security fob. As a matter of fact, that stunt nearly cost all the MTs to lose their jobs because the hospital was going to pull the account they were so angry about the breach in security. The only way to get the fob back was to not give the final paycheck until it had been returned, which is clearly stated in any MTs contract.
Now, maybe you're not that MT, and maybe you are. If you are, there is much, MUCH more to this story than the way it has been presented.
We should all be ashamed for griping sm
about not receiving anything from them. I talked to EDITED on Friday when I got my card and she said she felt bad that the cards weren't out on time and that she had been busy with working and both of her children had been very sick. I think it is very thoughful of them to send something. Most of the companies out there don't think of us at all and EDITED makes sure we get something for holidays and throughout the year. Plus she signs all the cards herself and writes the checks herself.
OH I can't believe I typed "I was do." I'm so ashamed!!!
PS The thing is, and you are still so right that I am ashamed, but (inside)
It is just now that I am beginning to read between the lines with what is said by this government agency and another. Why would you be checking through the years for how our country was being sold off until you found yourself at the end of the sword. It is scary to think the government sold us out to corporations knowing it was all about money. Why does the the US government think they need to give tax breaks to corporation to send jobs overseas? They are already making beaucoup bucks saving on transcription services and many, many more services with jobs from the US. You can only spend so much and then it is obscene. I have written congressmen a lot in the last couple of years with no response back, sent emails and even letters to journalists with no response back. It just must not be something that they feel is important enough to expose.
Not ashamed to be part of this industry, but
definitely embarrassed to think of medical industry people checking out this forum and finding what it has sunk to.
That so many people are in trouble these days is heart-rending. The problem is when it comes out as anger expressed in irrational, libelous, and abusive attacks on others, including employers.
And especially in these remarkable days of the Information Age, there is simply no excuse for the astonishing degree of ignorance and lack of respect for truth displayed by many of us, who all come here via the World Wide Web.
Nothing is easier than self deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.
This company should be ashamed 1 cpl...we do live in America, right?
We are trying to live, right? and if it is Toth Transcription, from what I hear, it'd be next to impossible to get paid PERIOD..
