Good god - what is wrong with all these MTSO people?

Posted By: S/M on 2009-06-01
In Reply to: I did not settle - MissionimpossibleMT

The more accounts of abuse, lies, bait-and-switch, harrassment, intimidation, and other downright skullduggery these outfits pull on their employees, the more obvious it becomes that the MT business as a whole is descending full-tilt back into the Dark Ages. Next will come the floggings and beheadings.

Wrong again! I am NOT an MTSO - just an MT
who does her job well.
LOL - people like this MT-MTSO have no MIRRORS
in their homes!

This person needs to vent on a couch with a professional nearby IMHO...

that or get treatment for *severe* myopia.
What is wrong with you people?
Are you all on drugs?  Watch my back?   This is hilarious!  
What is WRONG with you OSi people? smsg

All of you (ex and current employees posting ad nauseum about that stupid company) sound like a bunch of NUTS.


Go get help!  No one cares what you think, move on with life.  Or get a life, whichever applies to you.


Are you kidding? That many people can't be wrong.
If that many people are posting negative information about a particular company that's a HUGE red flag.
My gosh!! What is wrong with you people?!?!
READ WHAT HAS BEEN POSTED ALREADY!!!
You must be hiring the wrong people...

it must be bad judgment on your part, but don't lump sum the rest of us who do take pride in our work and do have great work ethics and take our jobs seriously! 


They are nice. If you do something wrong, they tell you. That is their job, isn't? You people.

Holy Cow!!!! Are you serious??? What is wrong with people??
Are you sure it wasn't in New Mexico, although not much different clientele. Wow.. I'd be moving on and telling them to lose my number.
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

What is wrong with you people and proofing the replies? Do you not have anything better to do? Pro

You are gathering wrong. Lots of posts of people
This is like beating a way dead horse at this point. So many just can't follow the subject of posts. The poster you are responding to is stating the fact that this is JUST LIKE the fiasco that used to go on here regularly with Keystrokes, with management and owners freaking out at any perceived criticism and posting over and over and over defending the company, calling the MTs liars, fakes, whatever. Yes, it is exactly the same, and it shines a very negative light on the company name, worse than the original posting. It is very yucky to see companies posting on here. It does tend to validate the MTs who have complaints. Its just plain old weird.
NEVER said anything about a good MTSO
and you talk about getting and/or quoting things straight? I talked about my company being good and I have posted time and time again with always flames going up around me because others have something against this particular company. Hey, no problem, my total gain. Once again, never on any postings on MTs praised the owner of the company so that is end of this thread.
Will not let any MTSO cut my pay for VR, etc. Good for me! nm

Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
Good grief! I am not an MTSO either sm
but why is it any of your business what the MTSO charges? Whatever they charge isn't going to get you any more money. They pay what they pay. Why worry yourself about it.

While I think many MTSOs ARE taking advantage of their MTs, if I wanted to make more money, I would (and you could to) get my own accounts and charge more.

When you hire someone i.e. a plumber, carpenter (example) or whatever to do something for you or buy something from them, do you investigate into what they have paid for their supplies, etc? No different. WHO CARES! Put your energy into something more productive!

What the MTSO charges has nothing to do with whether you are going to be able to pay your bills at the end of the month. All you have to be concerned with is whether you have any work to do or not, just like the rest of us. Also, you don't know whether the equipment is paid off, expenses etc. WHY DO YOU CARE AND WASTE SO MUCH ENERGY WORRYING ABOUT IT? Put your energy into getting an extra job if you need it.
VERY GOOD MTSO! DON'T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE REMARKS!
I have had an excellent experience with Nicholas Transcription since signing on with them over two months ago. She pays on a weekly basis and the pay is seldom late. When it is late, it's only one or two days off. I received my first paycheck via DD the second week (on a Friday) after I turned in my first invoice, which is not usual. In fact, most MTSOs pay on a bi-monthly basis -- she pays us weekly!!! I have gotten paid in a timely manner with the exception of only one or two times and both times, she paid me the following Monday or Tuesday and she made me aware of the fact that the DD would be a day or so late. Also, the owner was upfront and honest and made me aware that late payments do happen on occasion prior to my ever signing a contract and I was fine with that -- so long as I get paid, I'm fine with that (AND SHE DOES PAY ME WEEKLY)!

Also, the owner is extremely flexible, understanding, and extremely very easy to work for. The dictators are great and the work is very consistent.

I speak from present experience! I work for her now and will continue working for her. Don't believe the negative comments -- they are not true.
Just curious as to what MTSO feels is good pay for

I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 


I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 


There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments


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!!
haha! Good one... no you got it wrong sm
I typed 200 lines an hour easily.........not slow. You sound like a salaried TTS'er or the owner. That's why there are always mixed reviews. The relatives and people with skin in the game post positive information.
What do you think a good gift would be from an MTSO? I am curious what would be a well-accepted gif
Let's be realistic and realize that most companies can't send out $500 to each employee if they have more than a few to send to, but maybe if we get some good ideas, we have something to start with and/or build on.

One reason I stopped sending gifts for Christmas, MT Week, birthdays, etc is that so many people complained about what they got that it made it more stressful to send anything at all and quite depressing to put time, thougt and money into something I thought was good only to be ridiculed.

I would love some suggestions for the future!
What is wrong with a good MT knowing what she is worth and expecting to be compensated
:l
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
I worked for them previously. Very good, growing co., wonderful MTSO, average pay but lots of work.

God forbid the poor poster made a mistake by posting on the wrong board!! Good grief!

Good people
Great benefits, insurance - 2 weeks vacation. Rarely hear from anyone, they just let you do your work.
Jealous? These are good people ...

You see - all the good people have left OSI
She was super. She was treated very very badly at OSI. We will all be in better shape very soon as long as we can get another job before they are all taken. I think alot of people are leaving Medquist and they are going to be grapping some of the available jobs too. The old saying- Time is of the essence.
Thank you for your support. I know who you are. :)
Good grief people....
If I could make a list about all that has gone wrong at MQ within the last 2 years, I would be her forever!!!
Some good people used to work for MQ including

It's a really good way to annoy educated people, though. (nm)

Good! Great people to work for!

agree - most people only have good things to say about MDI-MD

Yes, they are a decent company. Different personalites, overall good people. nm

Question for people at DSG. Are you having enough work and for those on DSG1, do you have good
sound on your accounts.  I think DSG2 is overflow from MQ.  Am I correct on that.  I had heard the sound is not as good.  Can anyone let me know anything about this.  I would appreciate it.
Ha -- good for you. If more people stood up to the greedy cheats, maybe sm
we wouldn't be facing this now.  I miss the day of the gross line, but that's hard to find anymore, and if you do find it, even then sometimes they try to cheat you and make it a 100-character line .. sheesh (okay, I exaggerate a tad, but only a tad).

when docs give mtso a check, then mtso pays you?

Good accounts, great people, plenty of work. sm

I'm past that "honeymoon" stage of the first few months that another poster mentioned.  I still find them to be the best for me.  Never run out of work, always there for questions, including timely responses, great people (QA and otherwise). 


I'd highly suggest contacting either your supervisor or Jane (as she offered) about lack of work.  As you should see on the daily reports, there is plenty of work out there. 


Good luck & I hope it works out for you. 


good people who all go to Hawaii while making you work every weekend. nm
....
And you are no longer a hiring manager and probably lost out on a LOT of good people
because of how you handled it. HMMMM??
Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

My job is working out splendidly, I wouldn't say big bucks, but good pay and nice people. sm
I am just looking for something to do in the evening and weekends.  I am going to the job during the week daytime hours.  I miss transcribing as it is not transcribing.  Thanks for your concern.  But, yes this job I am working at during the day is a breath of fresh air compared to trying to sort through transcription companies, trying to figure out how they pay, by the character, by the 65 character count line or gross lines.  I really am enjoying the people the place too.  I would recommend trying an out of the house job for everyone on this board that can! 
RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc. 
good guesses, but none of what you stated in your post....i rest my case though, you people
ARE TRULY NASTY.......nothing short of a JERRY SPRING remake here....i simply said that SoftScript was wonderful and so far, i've been told i'm a joke, insulted, called names, etc.......now lets see if anyone has anything nice to say......as if that were possible on this board.............
I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm

good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.


 


Hope this helps.


Most people get lucky and get good accts. I was also one put on an acct that had me leaving para

This job is only good for extra pin money for people that have other regular income coming in.
It may end up being a good job for people that are experienced and on social security and have other investments now for some extra money.  Would never want to have it to pay all bills.  No way.
It is a SUPER FINGER reference .. DANE COOK PEOPLE... good grief.
Amazing you wasted those brain cells analyzing what didn't need analyzed. TIME WELL SPENT! geesh.
Not just this week, a long term problem. Nice people, good benefits, but
