I think this is one of those disgruntled employees ......sm
Trying to start something. Anybody with any common sense can see that.
I am certainly not fooled.
Disgruntled employees
I have read on this board that people who post a bad thing about a company are disgruntled employees. A disgruntled employee would usually be one who has been fired, and no one who posts has been fired. Usually, they are employed and want advice on a new company or have quit, not been fired. Most of us know there are a lot of really bad transcription places out there. Once I saw someone say recruiters post here. Well, that might be true, who knows, but if they do and say fabulous things about their company, that just isn't fair. I hope that isn't happening.
There are disgruntled former employees at any company
if you do your work and do it well you'll be fine at Diskriter.
Merry Merry for Disgruntled Employees
A few of the posters on this thread - obviously disgruntled employees gone from TTS - have been posting the same hate for
2-3 years now - at least - that I can recall. I am usually pretty patient with angry people - they all seem to have been hurt in some way - but I really feel like I want to say to the complainers about TTS in this thread: We have all one time or another been treated unfairly, been misunderstood, had things not work out. It's called life. The bitterness that seems to consume you, the hatred that fairly drips from every one of your posts - make me - and I am sure everyone else reading them - think if you have this kind of attitude, this kind of insatiable anger and neurotic need to have the last word - it is pretty apparent whatever happened to you at TTS - and I am sure other companies - was most likely due in large part to you. Being unteachable, stubborn, seeing yourself always as the one who was wronged - and who is always right - does not lend itself to success - anywhere. I am sure you have found this to be true in your life, not just your employment. For a lot of MTs I know cpl and the going rate is not the most important thing. Yes, it is important - and up there no doubt - but there are other things to value in a job, some of them you can't put a price on. I am very happy at TTS, not in management, and so are many others. It is clear you were not. Once again, it’s called life, it's not always fair, we all do things that need forgiving and have things happen to us that need to be forgiven. None of us is perfect, whatever label or job description we may have. My wish for you this Holiday, for all of 2009 - that you get over it, you move on, see yourself more clearly, and find someone who will remind you everyday of all the good there is in each of us -- and that 2009 will be the best year you have ever had.
Larry doesn't know if he's coming or going! One day a mass email to employees begging them to
even though no work, and the next day mass email begging people to hire anybody they can scrape up and now accounts out of TAT, etc. Different story every day of the week, and I don't wanna hear about the company perils! Just let me type! No thanks.
If the OP has said, "LM didn't pay me," rather than "LM doesn't pay it's employees
Blanket statements never have a positive result.
Disgruntled?
Romey you sound very disgruntled. What happened to you at this company? As far as their way or the highway, what company have you worked for that lets you have it your way? Not trying to sound mean, but each company has their own rules, that's why we have a choice of what company/rules we want to follow. Are you saying you want to decide how you want to work for a company and exactly what you will/will not do for them? Weird...
Disgruntled?! I think not.
A little after the fact, I just saw your post tonight. So, in response, not all things work for all people. Also, thousands of foreign companies have a corporate office in the States so they can operate globally, pay US taxes, work American staff. Even though Focus has an office in Massachusetts, all their equipment and QA and account management is in India. I believe all that is state-side is like sales, recruiting and HR, probably accounting, etc., for the American workers. If the Massachusetts office closed Focus still would be able to operate on their own, they'd just have to get their own accounts (my guess on all this). It's a global partnership. So, here's my thoughts. There's a phrase from somewhere that holds true here, it goes like this: So many people can't be wrong. I'm sure many unsuspecting MTs tried Focus. I did 3 different times! I guess 3rd time was the charm. First two times really had a hard time making any lines though, but then got some of my own local work instead and resigned. The third time I was recruited though, then I made the commitment, this time I'll make it work, but alas it never did. My last go-around was the tie breaker. I really needed an income, they re-recruited me, I was happy to try again. Got reset up and was ready to start work on the startup date. At 6 a.m. I log in and there's no work, none at 8 a.m., 10, 12, 2, 4--nothing all day! That first day came and went without any work ever in my queue to download and type. Next day same thing. Third day same thing. I was in total shock! I could see the rent payment disappearing as the minutes ticked by. I went ahead and tried to get some answers, IM and phone calls to everyone I could, emailed both the recruiter and the guys in India. It took 3 days before somebody let me know that the account I was hired on for wasn't going live for another 3 weeks!
See, that's just a lot more than just complaining about them being in India or being a disgruntled MT. These are serious conditions that can truly (this is how you spell it) mess up your income. The recruiter misrepresented the startup schedule (come to find out she claimed she didn't know the status because India hadn't told her about this account start date). I agree that being in India doesn't seem to matter, nor does the Phillipines or China or anywhere else this stuff goes. The problem with Focus is the recruiters and the managers don't know what the other is doing. I think it's a perfect place if you can just go along with everything, but in my case I couldn't wait three weeks for work. I was offered some pool work while I waited for the major hiring account. I did my first five reports (that's all that's allowed per day during the 5-day trial period). Those reports were returned later to me from QA feedback and I was shocked to discover my original typing had been retyped--with errors. The feedback had those errors corrected and of course my qa and pay was docked because of them. (I know this is true because I saved my originals--why I don't know.)
That was it for me, I truly love the Escription platform but it's not worth it working for them. I've been an MT for 11 years, it's not a lack of skills (I work for myself currently, as well as one terrific online service). And this is totally an opinion of not so much a disgruntled MT, but one that was sincere about doing good work for good pay. In general, I don't think they are rude or evil. The one guy named I---c in India is the best. His new team not so hot. It's just that the different divisions are totally not on the same page, and then the mysterious re-typing done somewhere in the universe, which no one ever responded to my emails and IMs about that! I'm glad it's working out for you. Believe me, I'd be there today if it hadn't been for the above to reasons because of Escription. And, it is true they paid on time. Just sad though. They emailed me for months after I quit trying to woo me back yet again. I'm sure that blind email goes out to hundreds of former MTs who had tried it with them. Best of luck to you. This is way too long, not a bash, just kind of a sad commentary.
I'm an ex-employee and I'm not disgruntled.
This crap exploded after I left and I had kept in contact with people I knew when I worked there and I can assure you it's all true.
obviously the same disgruntled employee from above

I'm not a disgruntled MT wanna-be. I'm
and she's a suspicious, condescending, controlling person. She doesn't like anyone she can't keep under thumb.
It's no different discussing her than discussing companies.
Go away if you don't like it, Laurie. We see your rose-colored glasses -- they have a fracture in the lenses, dear! LOL
Alot of BS probably from disgruntled ex
Running out of work? That is the biggest crock of **** I have ever heard. I am so busy right now I don't know in which direction to go. We have so many different hospitals that I don't know which one to do first. Most people that badmouth a company is usually because they could not cut the mustard and got canned in plain English. JLG is one of the top notch companies and one of the best I have ever worked for. They actually care about thier people. You don't find that very often. Anyone who says they ran out of work is just talking out of thier ***
Who is the disgruntled and bitter one here??
I'm honestly not trying to ruffle feathers, just trying to understand where all of the bitterness and pinned up anger comes from on this particular board. I'm a member of some very diverse forums where the topics range from taming naturally curly hair to finding the best vasectomy reversal surgeon. MT Stars is supposed to be a place where professionals can come, share resources, and build one another up. All some people ever seem to come here for is to tear others down. It's really sad to see such hateful, ugly remarks constantly being made at MTs just for asking a question. If you don't have anything positive or beneficial to bring to the board, why post at all? What do you gain by posting insults hidden by an alias??
Is it the isolation of working at home that causes so many otherwise intelligent people to lose the ability to interact in a civil manner? If I ever become as angry as some of the people I've seen here, I'd be making a career change.
Stepping off soapbox now and getting back to work.
not true; are you disgruntled?

You must be disgruntled ex-employee if you cant

sounds like your disgruntled
your facts are screwed up Displaced
nothing is going offshore
there is plenty of work coming in and all US accounts
why are you the only one I see on this forum crying about not having a job?
That is incorrect, this is a disgruntled MT..nm

DO NOT BELIEVE "BEWARE" - she obviously was a disgruntled transcriptionist - sm
I have been transcribing for four years for them. Have a large account, and only a couple of times in four years have I had a very slow period (maybe lasting a week or so) where the work was low - but as anyone would know, hospital admissions usually go down in the summertime, docs go on vacations, etc.
They do have a couple of accounts that the HOSPITAL is absolutely picky about, i.e. they want the commas and the periods and the hyphens where they belong and they want the report spelled CORRECTLY. But a hospital has EVERY RIGHT to expect that from a transcription vendor. Maybe "beware" was on one of these accounts and just doesn't know how to transcribe!!
Your not a disgruntled JLGite. YOUR LUCKY TO BE GONE
I agree. they talk about everyone who is gay, looks fat, is ugly, too skinny, short or bald. Funny, they must not have mirrors. The worst day was when the lowest forms of toilet sludge came from MEdquist. Ruin one and screw up another. It was wonderful before these outsiders came from there. I have been there years and years and have knowledge of JLG and everyone in the company. I work there 7 days a week and trust me they are not what Connie says they are. So get off it. And stop brown-nosing medquist. So your not disgruntled. They will use everyone and when they have used themdry they will do to them what they did to you and 5 others this week. I dont need to know who you are but be happy your gone. I have to stay cause I have children. If I didnt, they would have kissed my left great toe and the right one years ago.
Sounds like disgruntled ex-employee to me!!!
I have never been chewed out but I have had issues discussed with me. Some people just cannot take constructive criticism.
Dear DE (disgruntled ex-employee) as per my

I'd have to agree with you. Yes, you get a few disgruntled workers who probably
aren't qualified to be doing this work and get reprimanded or just plain unhappy and like to complain, then think twice about their opinion on a company, but for God's sake when people tell you that they aren't not getting paid on time, correct, or AT ALL, why in the world would you consider even taking a job for them. I agree with the poster in that it does reach a level of stupidity and companies that have those kind of unethic and dishonest tactics just prey on stupid people who should have known better to begin with. I think everyone has a right to voice their opinion and experience, good or bad, and yes, some of it take with a grain of salt BUT if it involves your livelihood, a paycheck, then pay attention. I just don't get people either. Here's your sign 
This person is just a disgruntled former employee...sm
I replyed to this message on the main board as well. This person fails to respond there as well. I have been with Medware for over 3 years and it is a GREAT company to work for. They have made some changes over the past 1-1/2 years, but the changes benefit the MTs, so I am VERY happy here...pay on time every time, great pay, good benefits, great management...etc. JMO!!
This person is a disgruntled former employee...sm
I replied to this on the main board as well. Medware is a GREAT place to work. I have been with them for over 3 years. There have been a lot of changes over the last 1-1/2 years but so far, it has benefited us MTs. I am still waiting for this person to say WHY also, but so far, nothing...
Do not call me disgruntled - and do not make a judgment - sm
I am not lying about the people in the OFFICE leaving. Maybe you have the same contacts, but I sure as heck didn't.
NOTE TO MODERATOR: I am not using an angry tone - so please don't delete this.
You sound very disgruntled. Difficult to be objective
You have your opinion.
I agree with the OP, though.
You sound disgruntled; no wonder you weren't promoted from within... sm
sounds like sour grapes. Since when does top management share the internal workings and all the goings on with employees?
Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't

They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm

That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore

He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.
which employees are getting this and how much.
I havent heard a work about any incentives.
MQ employees
Quoted: Remember employee = real benefits, not this 3 days a year PTO and insurance that is laughable. Also you must provide the equipment, the internet, and pay for downtime such as weather. A supervisor to authorize your stupid OT
PTO can be up to 18 days per year. As a FTE, I was given a week of vacation PTO and holidays. The insurance is not laughable. Compared to many companies out there, it falls right in the middle somewhere. Who pays you because it snows? (or rains, etc)? I know in our region, many MTs were affected by the hurricanes and received some compensation. And where have you worked that you do not have to have OT APPROVED??
I still think so many of you are so accustomed to be picky that the reality of "real job" is going to scare you off.
Certain new employees get PTO right away but other new
employees have to wait a YEAR? Isn't that a little unfair and discriminatory???
And since when is $12-15 an hour considered GOOD in this profession?
Is this thread real? April Fool's Day isn't for another 4-1/2 months! 
How to keep employees
Every single MT company is full of BS these days. They turn our homes into sweat shops, they cut our pay. They have no consideration for our feelings. MTs are job hopping just looking for a decent deal.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a company with high standards. A company who gave so much in the way of decent treatment, time off, flexibility, civilized treatment, appreciation and good pay, and I mean very good pay. Can you imagine what it would be like to have every MT in this godforsaken lousy business clamoring for a job with your company? All you have to do is be FAIR, pay decent WAGES, treat people like HUMANS instead of machines. You would never be posting a help wanted ad.
Man, I wish I could do it myself. I would have the best, brightest MTs out there becasue I would attract and draw them to my wonderful company instead of nickle and diming them to DEATH.
Why don't you want to know what former employees have to say about OSI?
I think they would serve you better on what you want to know. I worked for them for four years. The first couple of years were okay, not many problems to speak of, then it all went down hill from there. The higher-ups started to get nasty to the transcriptionists, they starting changing accounts around, loosing accounts....it really got bad. I think they have a revolving door on their main office, so many people come and go. I would do my research before I jumped the gun with OSI.
no those employees are all over here
throwing muck and personal attacks all over the place, especially at the company (ies) they left. I also know the company monitors the board which resulted in the formulation of the language of not allowing the company named to be posted.
As for not wanting a good thing to leak out, I've always been a cheerleader and am of the opinion that if I can help my employer grow by being a good employee and bringing other good employess to them, then that adds to my job security and a recognition by the company of my being loyal to them.
Maybe that's the part that has so baffled.
It is so new that most of us employees do not know anything about it yet. nm

MDI-MD....I think all their employees are SE (sm)
I got hired for Radiology not acute care...
I only mentioned that again because there were some posters last week who were running out of work at MDI-MD and were afraid they overhired but I think those were acute care MTs...
An OM did this to both employees and ICs
at a company where I worked for 4-1/2 years from home, then about 10 months in the office. I ended up leaving the company because of what I saw happening within the office. The owner was a great person, but left much of the day-to-day operations to the office manager. If someone called in and needed extra cash because they wanted to put a child in a private school, she would take work from someone else and give it to the needy person...now keep in mind that the person needing the extra cash didn't actually HAVE to work because of the husband's income and the person whose work was taken away was single and had no other source of income.
This is just one example, but it happened like this A-L-L the time I was in the office. I lost total respect for the OM and then for the owner for knowing it was happening and allowed it to continue.
They can't keep employees...
They are rude to their employees and they go in and change your time-sheet hours if you are getting paid by the hour and cut your actual work hours in half. That was my experience with them.
They must REALLY need employees
Between yesterday and today I've had 3 phone calls and several emails, after I said no. I told the guy I'm not interested in a company that has QA in India, especially since they would be deciding whether my work was correct or not.
5 employees?
I do two of mine accounts, and I certainly do not require employees? No wonder you weren't making any money. You have to actually do the work yourself not hire people to do it. My goodness. 
employees, I mean

US employees
They said they employ approximately 30 MTs in the US.
Can anyone tell me how many employees
before I make a decision. Thank you.
Any MDI-IT employees out there? sm
How long have you worked at MD-IT? Do you run out of work?
