I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
Possibly the whole idea of their email isn't
but instead, to drive as many of their US competition out of the industry as possible.

Anybody have any idea what company this is?

500 emails in two months?!?! Not my idea of an organized company. No thanks. LOL

Is that the same one from L&H?. Probably, knowing Teresa.

I, too, am interested in knowing more about this.....
TIA
Nothing to do with knowing a specialty...SM
It's the sloppy, lazy dictators we MTs have to pick up the slack for. If you can't understand it, it doesn't matter how well you know your subject. 
i'd be interested in knowing that too
thanks
I'd be interested in knowing, too.
I'm looking for a 2nd job, and it would be nice to find something that would be hitting in between the other job when things are getting really tight.
Not knowing the specifics
I can think of a lot of reasons why, although I'm not involved in any way in this specific circumstance. If the client has become too difficult to work with- impossible turn-around times, dictators with too my individualized preferences, nit-picking (yes, they do it on the hospital end, too), and an unwillingness to pay the requested rate, I can see where it would be just as easy to not renew the contract. If the MTSO knows it has new account(s) coming on or that it has enough work for the staff it has, it could easily let a difficult account go. Much the same way some transcriptionists will take easier accounts that pay less but they can type more, I would assume MTSOs make the same choices.
I would be interested in knowing
I love Emdat
Thanks in advance
if you don't mind not knowing what's around the corner -
and you don't know when you're next assignment is going to be, 1 month, 2 months, etc. then go ahead and apply, but there have been too many negative things about Kforce said, and I should have listened and took note.
I don't think anything is wrong with knowing you are good...
But saying companies are falling all over themselves for her to work for them - sounds like a job hopper or someone who can't be satisfied for so many companies to be falling all over themselves begging her to work. She must be applying at plenty of places, huh? It just had an extremely arrogant tone, that's all. It doesn't bother me at all that jobs are offered quite readily. I'm a good MT also and get great audit scores every time. I love where I work and have no intention of leaving, but if I did apply somewhere else and they were supposed to call me back and didn't I wouldn't start bashing the company. People are busy, and when you are trying to take care of hundreds of transcriptionists, some things tend to slip your mind. Get a grip!!
Apprecaite knowing this info. Thx. nm

So you will tell a person to join, knowing they won't

knowing the VA health system....
and what they did to me as a military widow and what the VA does to our service men and women, I would NEVER work for a VA hospital/ Our military whom are in VA hospitals, are the ones who have gone through the Wellbutrin to stop smoking trials etc -- you will have a patient who one week, his attending is 'Dr. Jones; he goes home and the next week his attending is this one -- also LOTS of ESLs and residents -- the goverment as a GS position 10 years ago only paid $15k per year -- hasnt gone up that much. JMHO
Please email me which company does this
This thread is very interesting. I can see having a credit check pulled if the company is going to supply you with all the equipment, but for an IC position? Something smells.
I'm about to graduate from Andrews in the very near future, and I would appreciate an email letting me know which company(ies) is/are doing this. I think it's absolutely outrageous.
I can stand up to an intensive FBI background check, and I recently had one done to renew my state security license, so I have no problem with that aspect.
Please let me know *which* company is doing this. I won't waste their time or mine.
Also, knowledge of AAMT BOS, knowing formatting, being able to
transcribe bad/fast/or foreign dictators, your English grammar, spelling, and punctuationk, attention to detail, computer knowlege in many cases...plus just having the ability to test as fully as doing full-on radiology, op, ds, or whatever reports in any specialty...that would take so long orally. As much as I HATE all those test files, it really proves so much more than just a basic knowledge or your ability to look/Google things up.
Knowing that the only time work is slow is during
is wonderful and I will flex my schedule any time to keep my job at Transtech.
Issuing a check knowing that it will bounce,
is a really silly action. This equals to giving the person a tool to go to the police. If they know that the funds are not available, they should issue a post-dated check.
And I sleep well at night, knowing I have provided

Please email w/ name of EXText company
Thank you, tired of being out of work when I know #$%^ well that my account has work going to India!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to know which company. You may email me if you wish. sm
Email above. Thanks. 
Actually, I sent you an email through your ad on the company board. Thanks! nm
I left a company as soon as got email saying they were
w
Email said not about company stability, and you
Of course they sent encouraging apologetic email. Do you think they would send one saying, We are having dire company problems and you may never get this money? They can put ANYTHING in an email. That doesnt mean it is true.
do you realize how many companies outsource without the client even knowing?..sm
an extremely high number. Do you think they can get away with this..absolutely. They advertise that the are U.S. based and higher some U.S. MT's and the majority of the work goes overseas. Wake up people, it's called business. It may not be proper, but these large companies are cut throat, particularly the overseas companies. They have struck a gold mine and they know it. Sad part is, they will always find U.S. MTs to keep the company afloat. Without the U.S. MT's busting their rears to produce quality work, these companied would fail. Why can't anyone get this? Ladies (and gentlemen), do not work for any transcription company who outsources work out of the country. Otherwise, this buyout situation will continue, and before you know it, there will be virtually no large U.S. transcription companies left. Unfortunately, we will only have ourselves to blame. Don't be an enabler!
OSI allows only company email, keeps coworkers anonymous
and that stinks
No problems for me. In fact, the company sent out an email sm
yesterday asking if anyone wanted a backup account, so I took them up on it. I know how scary slow days can be -- hope it ends for you soon. If you do not have a backup account, maybe you should call and ask for one.
Good luck!
I don't believe I trashed the company, and I had not received the email yet. sm
And yes, she is cheery and full of hope and promise, but that doesn't pay the bills now. I appreciate your compassion.
What is wrong with a good MT knowing what she is worth and expecting to be compensated
:l
In case this company doesn't see this post, email them and tell them
y
Email me privately. I think we work for the same company and I have an answer for you.
I went through all of this about 6 months ago and if it's the same company I'll give you the lowdown.
No sweetie, you were coming to branching, thank your company by their email.

dont misunderstand me...we didnt work knowing we wouldnt get paid
How stupid would that be? We were paid a month behind. So when the 18th came we expected our check for the previous month. So that would be one paycheck. No one willingly works for free. I know i certainly wouldnt have typed as much as i did for her - taken time away from everything/everyone else - if i KNEW she wasn't going to pay me. Seriously, I hope she rots for what she has put me and my family through. I'm not talking about a couple hundred bucks. I'm talking thousands of dollars. Yep, I'm ticked
My mom was a lab tech, so I grew up knowing about working holidays in the medical field sm
so it is no big deal to me. I do not have any children, so I have pretty much always volunteered to work the holidays so that others can be with their families. As someone pointed out, when you work at home for the holiday, you can jump off and on whenever you want, so it does not really feel so much like working.
Sorry that you are unhappy about it, but unfortunately, people still get sick on the holidays, and part of being in the medical profession is accepting that you will work some holidays.
Hope the New Year brings you lots of things to be happy about.
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm
nm
They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
Idea to help us all, maybe?
I've started an Excel chart noting objective information on companies. PTO, bennies, differentials, incentives, platform ease of use, spaces, all the stuff that helps to make a decision about whether a company is a good fit. So, I've really appreciated some of the information I've seen here today, good and bad. Keep it coming!
No idea!
nm
Here's an idea...sm
Why not just hire weekend people at a good rate? They won't have to pay benes, etc.
Here is a novel idea
Very well said!! I can name a few that do that such as, Ascend Health Care Systems, Transcend Services.... should I go on???
Have no idea.
:(
I LIKE that idea.
Let the recruiters compete for their paychecks like MTs do when companies overhire MTs (even if just for a week or so). 
Yes, I have an idea for you. sm
If you email me, I can give you the name of a company who offers this. Please be sure to put in your subject line of your email that it is in regard to a post at MT Stars, because I try to be careful of what email I open. Also, if you could give me an idea of how long you've been an MT, that would really help.
Anyone know how many MT's they have? I get the idea that
they are fairly large but the couple of times I have spoken with them they are really nice and pleasant and seem to be on the ball. They seem to treat people more like a small company.
