    That's not just unprofessional.... sm
    it's illegal !  I would forward those emails with a letter of explanation to the Department of Labor.  You'll see how fast SS changes their tune.  And by the way, if they know who you are by your posts, then the companies and the administrators of this forum are obviously on the same back-stabbing team.  Bet this gets deleted before you can say "shove it" !!
    very unprofessional

    If your oversea MTs are that great, why bother with us Americans?  If I worked for your company, I would quit yesterday. 


    Unprofessional
    This is very unprofessional. Imagine If we all knew what hospital you were referring to? This is confidential information and should be kept such, not even funny.
    UNPROFESSIONAL
    Perhaps the term suck is unprofessional.  However, since you are not with FN, perhaps never have been and never will be,  I reiterate that I personally never confirmed anything about work or no work. What I said had you read it closely is that as per many companies throughout the US, there are periods of a lull.  I never said there was no work and you are quoting out of context.  If you seem to have a problem with FN why don't you just go to the source instead of using a public forum to confirm unwarranted comments from others about something they no nothing about. 
    unprofessional
    It's just totally unprofessional for either MT or management...and totally uncalled it.
    I think it would be really unprofessional
    I think it would be really unprofessional and immature on the part of the company who is sending it around...if they do exist. I also wouldn't want to work for a company who participated in that drama either, either blacklisting people or not hiring people because of it. There are always two sides to each story. It's not fair to not hear the other side or to not give that MT a shot because of what a disgruntled employer has to say.

    If I were doing the hiring, I would start questioning the credibility of that company and actually probably see why the MT left/quit/got fired in the first place. It is up to the MT to prove him/herself and if it doesn't work out, well then fire him/her.

    I have no doubt that it goes on, especially with smaller/medium MTSOs who are friends. That's just my opinion, though. I know some companies I had worked for had no issue complaining to me about their own transcriptionists incessantly, personal and private matters included, so I have no doubt they ran their mouth to other people in the industry about them. Made me paranoid/wonder what they said about me.
    Unprofessional and Same As Before
    Recruiter was unprofessional (um, um, um, let me check, um, um...).  Told the recruiter that I worked for them 5 years ago and had a horrible experience, rude QA, rude team leaders, inaccurate QA (grade wrong and when pointed out the account specifics, they get very rude), 99% ESL doctors on all accounts.  He said they were still the same with the 95% to 99% ESL dictators and didn't know about the rest of the staff problems.  Pay was on time, but never received anything worth cashing at the bank due to lousy dictators.  If you ask for another account with more American-speaking doctors, they said that all the accounts had the same type of doctors, and they did.  I got put on 4 different accounts and had plenty of work but unable to translate the dictation.  I personally think that they only get the accounts that other transcription services REFUSE to do.  There are a lot of companies out there that have better dictators and more professional/knowledgeable recruitors and more knowledgeable, friendlier and team-oriented QA and team leaders, so please don't waste your time with the same nightmare as 5 years ago. 
    Unprofessional people
    This company is very, very unprofessional.  They expect a new hire to know what each doctors wants within a 24 hour period of time.  They EXPECT that.  They are also very rude in conversations.  Just beware.
    very unprofessional and rude (sm)
    and I was able to find much better work for myself, at Proscript.
    Unprofessional and ridiculous! sm
    Unless it is done in conjunction with a real test.
    Extremely unprofessional nm
    Are you a member of management?
    It was just as unprofessional of the poster--sm
    above to have asked who had been contacted by this company. The person who requested resumes to be sent has been harassed for the past three days trying to find out a name of the company. I guess she has had enough and I don't blame her. They probably weren't real names anyway. Sheesh!
    If you are an MTSO, you are really unprofessional
    JMO.   
    Very unprofessional, they are not honest, some of their
    accounts are horrendous, they offshore but don't want you to know that. 
    That is extremely unprofessional...sm
    It's also very direspectful to one of us. We are all a family of MTs here, so I take this personally!! I think you should post this up top as a separate post so everybody can see it better. They need to know about this company's baby fits if they don't get their way. They wouldn't be making any money if it wasn't for us!!!
    Oh brother, how unprofessional are they?
    Ask to speak to the QA supervisor and collect all the e-mails you are getting with conflicting ways to nit-pick.  Show her the e-mails and tell her you are confused.  You would be happy to do what they want, but you are being pulled in different directions.  If she is not accommodating, look for another job.  Who needs that grief?
    I find this all very unprofessional.

    start a yahoo group?  That would be better than how you are reflecting yourself here.  You are showing you're true colors.  It is quite obvious you are frequenting this board.


    Your pay rate is very low.  Your demands are high, and you are not showing anything here but how unprofessional and NOT BUSY you are! 


    Please save it!  You have obviously burned some MTs, and they are not getting past it!  So, why do you continue to post?  You are like stirring the pot!  Your original post was enough.  Really it was....   


    P/S:  No, I am not an ex-disgruntled IC (really should be employee) with the demands you have on there. 


    Then, you have the nerve to respond to someone asking about line rates that you charge anywhere from 9 on up, yet your starting rate is 8 for 2nd shift, but you claim you cannot afford to pay more.  Shady!


    Rolling eyes is quite unprofessional, IMO. sm
    Get over it disgruntled.  My goodness, did they expect you to do horrible things like to  work 8 hours a day and meet minimums?  Shame on them for expecting such of a Primadonna.
    Precisely. We have had some very unprofessional people sm
    and some who turn their editing back in unedited. I will not say the name of the company because I am not a recruiter, just someone who thought I'd help get resumes for the positions. At last count, apparently some people cannot read and we keep getting resumes, the resume count is 179.

    Its not Shapin. It is a small midwestern company located in middle America, Illinois.

    You can nag all you want, but I have no say in hiring, nor do I have any say in firing.

    If you want, I'll list the names of all the people who applied and then you can see who you can contact to see if you know any of them?
    I read it. Very unprofessional and childish
    but he/she can be that way because he/she did not name the company, which again is very unprofessional and shows that someone has something to hide.
    You just took the prize for being unprofessional my dear.

    A professional would never take such a minor issue and blurb it on a chat page.  A professional would have approached the maker of the typo or would have just looked past it.  Pretty sad when you have to stroke your own ego over a typo.


    Using people's names is really against the rules and you should not do so. It is unprofessional.
    do you? Why do you think it is right to name a person and then slam their name. If you think this is right, then tell me why? It is not right and it should not be allowed.
    Lee has been told before..it is VERY unprofessional and raises big red flags sm
    when the owner or the KS Lead MT posts rebuttles and tries to defend her company.  You and she know full well things were not well with that company for a long time.  Sounds like things are turning around but posts like yours only demean..methinks thou doth protest too much    Let your reputation be built on happy employees, the sour grapes might be unhappy employees, former employees, people gossiping about what was heard, etc.  Do you see ANY other MT company coming here and defending itself?  No..I don't either.  Think about it.  Keystrokes reputation preceeds itself..it will take time for that reputation to be restored.
    lousy mgmt/response, unprofessional.
    x
    Shapin...unprofessional, disorganized, let go without any warnings at all.
    I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy!
    You may never - seems this is common from this company - how unprofessional & rude

    I'm thinking..unprofessional. First impressions are everything and my impression is....
    I wouldn't want to work for someone like that.  There would probably never be any way to ever please her.  I mean how many of us at one point in our careers thought we were doing a great job only to have a supervisor or someone else tell us our work stinks..It's obviously subjective versus objective opinion. I just think her ad had a very unprofessional and rude tone to it and I am guessing that she has been burned or thinks she has.  I just don't think you'd want to portray your attitude upon potential new hires. I will say...the ad did make me laugh, but there is a time and place for jokes and posting as a job ad isn't where you'd want to make people either offended or laugh at you.
    The owner is an unprofessional mental case.

    I worked for them years ago.  Supposed to be PT to supplement my FT job.  Got way too much work (I know with low work flow these days, I shouldn't complain).  I sent a very professional and very friendly email stating that I considered PT to be less than 1000 lines a day and that she was sending me too much work.  She went crazy waying I was flaming her via email and then called my home phone and left a nasty message calling me a liar and that I should never expect to work for them EVER again.


    I knew someone else who worked for Accupro as well.  She gave two weeks notice when she resigned and said she would ship the equipment back to the owner after her two weeks.  She lived locally to where Accupro's owner lived and the next day the owner showed up at her home, banging on the door demanding her equipment, and told my friend what a fool she was to have quit.


    Finally, I had a friend who worked for a hospital that Accupro contracted with to do overflow.  The owner was constantly behaving unprofessionally, calling the supervisor demanding to know why they didn't have much work, refusing to accept that the department was simply caught up.  When she was reminded that Accupro was contracted to do overflow only, she would attempt to go over the MT supervisor's head.  And then would play games with workflow - not returning work to the facility purposely for days at a time.


    The woman shouldn't not be a business owner.  She is totally unprofessional and feels she owns her ICs, but won't make them employees and got help you if you decide to move on.  She becomes vengeful and downright scary!


    Okay, this is turning ugly. These kind of comments are unprofessional
    If you here work for the company you could be earning money by taking TT up on the big BONUSES this weekend that nobody has mentioned while griping about the headers, etc. um er, how about telling the world that lines and a half are being offered and an extra 50 to 100 in addition. So, why not just put your ugly comments away and get to work!
    One word for them..UNPROFESSIONAL. I applied and immediately tested
    as they were in a big hurry to have someone hired so I dropped everything, tested, and then NOTHING.. I emailed numerous times asking if they had received my test but they could not even respond to that. The testing was easy and so I just could never figure out why they could not at least say they hired someone else or whatever the reason. I just find them extremely unprofessional (initials KB) if I remember right. I would never work for someone so unorganized anyway.
    Wow..you even tested...hmmm. All that shows to me is unprofessional and disorganization.
    As much as I hate to get the Dear John, we didn't select you emails, I would rather hear something than nothing.  I can handle that kind of rejection but when I waste my time applying, and then they do not even have the common courtesy to respond back on any level.  That truly just shows me that I would not work for a company like that.  It just gives you a little preview of how they do business.   
    As a MTSO, why would he/she feel the need to come to a public board and complain? Unprofessional in
    x
    Even so, it is very unprofessional and rude to not reply back when someone took the time to test!!

    A typo does not make it unprofessional. Perfect doesn't exist.

    We all do our best, but typos will happen from time to time.   Won't matter tomorrow and certainly won't matter next year.


    Any manager worth a grain of salt wouldn't even reply here. How unprofessional.
    nm
    What good does it do? They've lied, they've betrayed us.

    They've taken all they are going to take from me.   I am not going to waste any more time being angry.   I hate the way things ended, but I refuse to accept the blame for any part of it because I know that was a lie too, even though they did try to blame the MTs.  I know part of the problem was quality issues, but QA wasn't to blame for that either, although they have been.   


    It is time to pick up and move on.   I think mgmt will reap what they sow.   For those who worked on the main account Webmedx is still hiring, though the best time slots have already been taken.  


     


     


    What the heck? I've never heard that in the 8 yrs I've worked here. sm
    Go back to your STM or over his or her head.
    Since you've brought it up, I've stopped SM

    giving the negative info because every time I have in the past I am called a disgruntled ex-employee or told that my experience has no relation to what the company is like today.


    I won't repeat the information I've given in the past, anyone can find it on searches.  I've decided to just let the people have their experience with the company and that experience will validate everything I've ever said about those people.


    The same people own and run that company--they may have new names doing the management, but it still runs the same way.


    You've got it ~ you've hit the nail on the head....

    I can Google until dawn and still not find John Smith in NY - you know the neurologist...  Cut me a break!  I've now learned to ask my online company for a list of referring physicians (since none of the accounts are in my state) and also ask for websites for the hospitals, but I still don't take more than 5 min of my own time to find referring physicians.  I send it right through with a verify cc:... 


    As far as making an educated guess, I would only do that if it was my own account and I know the dictator well.  For the online company, it is their responsibility to make that educated guess as it is their client, not mine.  I leave that up to the company to make assumptions; this way it is on their back, not mine when it comes to the legality of the report.  Ultimately, the physician is responsible when signing that report or there should be clause on those reports that state dictated but not read.  If that clause is not there, then it is the physician's responsibility to know the content, not the MT.  An MT can only transcribe what they hear and really should not be making educated guesses on anyone since we live in a world of sue-happy patients and their malpractice insurance is so high.  If there is a question, it needs to go the dictator to resolve.


    JMO - been doing this for over 20 years.  


    I've been a QA 15 years and I've never heard
    of any company only paying for the actual Keystrokes of the blank. You would literally make less than minimum wage that way. Waaay less.
    I've come here for as long as I've been...
    ...an MT, for the same reasons all of you do. I don't scan the boards looking for false accusations, but when something comes up that does involve me, I would like the opportunity to defend myself. That's all...
    I've used it before...sm
    If you are thinking of going with a company with the beginning letter of "e" and ending in "Z"....you will not be getting paid for spaces.  They allow ONLY 8% for spaces, which IMO, is retarded.  The platform is very easy, but this particularly company has it set up to NOT count spaces, you will be typing your fingers off it seems.
    I've been doing this for more than 11
    between 250-350 lines an hour where I am now, without killing myself. At Medware, I was lucky to get 200 lines an hour.
    I've only seen 1. sm...
    And it was at www.transcriptionoutsourcing.com . It doesn't say this or much of anything else on their website. I think I got this as a link from an MTDaily ad that had a different company name listed and when you clicked their email, the Transcription Outsourcing web site is where it took you. I'll look around and see if I can find the original ad. It was a small company. Good luck in the meantime!

    I've been there too ... and it's getting very old
    I've accepted offers with and tried just about everyone. So far, the one I trained on today has been the best to deal with. The trainer also told me she has been on this account for many, many years - and in that time has only run out of work twice, due to hurricanes. I'm getting very, very tired - I just want to find the right fit. I've found quite a few WRONG fits (and I'm not a newbie - I've got 13+ years on me). I figure, at this point, I want to pick the RIGHT ones, not just ANYone. I think I'll talk to DH some more and see if we can work something out. Who is the *&%* Company, it's late, I'm tired and I can't figure it out. If you want, and can do it, e-mail me separately. I have to make a decision with them soon. Thanks so much for at least your honest, yet positive, input. It's refreshing on these boards.
    I've have been doing (sm)
    some work for them lately. The stuff is mostly medical conferences and symposiums where people are giving talks. You generally get their Powerpoint presentation to help with drug names and doctor names. I did have one nightmarish assignment where there were about six people sitting around a table all talking at once and I was supposed to figure out who was talking when. The rest of them have been pretty good, though.

    Again, it is common sense not to post people's names on public forums for any reason. Sometimes, I can't tell if you folks are 12 years old or 98 years old.

    Please do not post names.
    Well DUH - so do I. That's why I've done

    in one form or another (as an employee, as a contractor, as an MTSO) since 1983.  And have been with the same small service for many years.  And have had my own company/accounts since 1992.  But I know my skills are in demand.  That certainly seems to bother you a LOT.  You sure are defensive about this company, aren't you?
