I doubt she's having fitful sleep. Money makes a soft mattress.

She sold us out for the mighty dollar.

This did not happen in a day; I bet she knew for months, way before she wrote that email a few weeks ago.

We see how she makes her money

  Made ya' look...  Okay I'm done now!  Have fun! 


You got it RIGHT! NO ONE MAKES MONEY ON VR.
Unless you are MANAGEMENT.  Plain and simple.  You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. 
Escription only makes MTSOs money
through the sweat of MT's hard work -- and they know that. VR is crap, big time.
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make

I function without a lot of sleep
I try to get up at about 4 a.m., work until 7 when my daughter gets up, start working again at 8 a.m. until she comes home at 3. I guess I do work evenings sometimes, but my desk is right by the kitchen so I'm up and down a lot then. Sometimes I stay up until 11 or so to work after she goes to bed. I do sometimes feel like I'm always working, but I ran up some credit card bills a few years ago and promised to bring in a certain amount of money to help pay down that debt, and now I'm living up to my part of the bargain. Again, though, I do work a lot and sometimes feel like I'm missing out on life, but don't a lot of us feel that way?
How they sleep at night
They sleep just like the guys over at MQ sleep. More and more this business is getting down and dirty. I feel for you all.
How they sleep at night
MQ and Heartland are both scum, cut from the same greedy cloth.
How can they sleep at night?
x
They can sleep at night because
they have no conscience. Look at how many people were done in by MQ. Do you think the MQ pooh-bahs care? Nah, they're too busy on their yachts. I hope they one day join Mr. Madoff where they belong.
You may sleep well at night
thinking all is well because you have provided for your family. Yes, you have provided them with food and the basica, maybe, but what about selling out in order to do so? What you are really doing is subscribing to a very dangerous philosophy called THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS. Many tragedies of a global nature have been brought about by just this kind of thinking. Study history.
make that, I would not lose any sleep over this co.

How do these people sleep at night....
x
I wonder how these people can sleep at night
knowing what effect their actions have on their employees. But then again, 16 million dollars will buy a lot of sleeping pills.....
If you never take a break, work 24 hours with no sleep and ....
no potty breaks, and work seven days a week, 365 days a year, then yes, you can make that kind of money.. Who are they fooling..That is cruel to lead people to believe they could this working a standard shift, 8 hours, and 40 hours a week.  I wish. I made $40,000 last year and I had NO life. All I did was work.. Not worth it..
Sleep Medicine with 48 hour turnaround?

Does anyone know of any companies that specialize in Sleep Medicine with a 48 hour turnaround window?


Thanks,

I try to be correct at all times, but I certainly am not going to lose any sleep sm
over errors I make on a message board, nor will I ever be so petty as to attack someone as this other person has done.  If your little snipe made you feel better, then I'm so happy I could be of service to you.  I try to treat people as I would like to be treated.  I know there are times I have posted something and then saw it and thought OMG .. can't believe I messed that up like that or something, but I have been fortunate enough to have the barracudas leave me alone.  I stand by my original post.  This is not the forum to police each other.  I have over 99% average on my QA scores at work, so I do not worry too much about whether I measure up to the standards of someone here who apparently has nothing else to do except pick others apart for no reason.  However, I have been in the work force long enough to realize that there are some people out there who can only feel good about themselves when they are trying to make someone else feel bad.
And I sleep well at night, knowing I have provided

I'm taking the same chance. I think I'll sleep better at night. nm

soft script
i just started with them three weeks ago as an MI. i work fulltime somewhere else with almost four years experience. just by the emails, you can tell that both QA and MT areas need to do a little bit more standarizing.
soft script
i work for them too part time. so far, the only problem i have is standardization of QA because it gets confusing when one corrects one way and the other corrects another way.
soft script
lol see what you did, you got everyone fighting lol
Soft Script

           


Can ya tell they are bad news? 


Soft Script and OSI

SS tells you that you have to purchase Start/Stop software and pedal also though.  If you have a universal pedal, you only need the software, but it is $75.  I now find out that other companies using the same platform say it is not mandatory, so why are they saying it is?  If they are making a kickback off the software, that makes them no better than TRANSCAM IMO.  I'm not an easy one to sucker, but hats off to them!  If you cannot tell someone WHY something is necessary, then it's not necessary.  Start/Stop is a universal player.  I own a universal player, so what's up? 


OSI uses it too, and they don't demand unnecessary software purchases. 


Soft Script
Don't go to work for Soft Script. I tried it, and it was a horrible experience. The dictators were awful, ESLs mainly. I'm an MT, and they wanted me for editing.

They make Medquist seem like a great place to work.

Nooooo,,, not Soft Script.
Soft Script
A friend of mine used to be the operations manager. Maybe the MT side of it is okay but the QA side is a different story. She told me that they took in a lot of new graduates. There was an incredible incredible amount of editing to be done on these reports and they were struggling with this task. Im not sure if they were sending out to India or not, but that may have also been some of the editing issue. Anyway, sounded like a real mess to me and I didn't care to jump into it. Like I say, the MT end of it may be perfectly fine. Any other experiences out there?
Soft Script
I hope so I don't work for them anymore.  Does anyone have an info on Sten-Tel?
Soft Script
Can anyone tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly about Soft Script?
Soft Script
Info regarding SoftScript?  Good or bad ?  Stable or ?  
Soft Script?
Does anyone have any info about this company? Thinking of applying with them PT while still working for MQ PT. Any info about them, how easy their platform is, etc. would be greatly appreciated! :) Have a nice Sunday! :)
Soft Script

Can anyone give me information on Soft Script.  Do they have flex schedules, is their platform easy to learn?  Is there an abundancy of work like the advertise?  I was considering sending them a resume.  Any info you can offer would be great!


Thanks!


I understand. It is a shame isnt it. I hope they sleep well at night.

Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,

It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.

Typo in above - not Soft Script but
Medscribe
Has Soft Script improved at all lately. nm

Chronicle and Soft Script
I had problems with the platform at Chronicle and SoftScript had poor training when cross training on a secondary account. The recruiter at Softscript wasn't always nice either. That was a couple of years ago. The Chronicle experience is very recent.
Soft Script info
I see Soft Script is hiring. Any current info on this company would be appreciated. Good, bad, or otherwise. Work flow, pay, benefits, etc. Thanks.
Soft Script Line Count
I have been with SS for a few years now and pay is dependable except for a couple times. But, don't you worry about the accuracy of your line count? Is there anyplace else you can work and have no idea how many lines you typed per report? Wonder Why??? No one will give you a straight answer, or for that matter any answer at all. Any management from SoftScript want to answer this Honestly?
Is Soft Script a good company. nm
:
Soft Script Pros and Cons
Pros: Their pay is good; the software is pretty user friendly, rare glitches.

Cons: Heavy ESLs; lots of accounts with tons and tons and tons of account specifics and many, many other details to learn; holidays don't exist to management. The management's attitude is poor.

QA: They pay per line. If you have experience, you'll get put on heavy ESL accounts and make nada if you do your job right.

A pair of soft flex gloves
Looking forward to using them on days when there's OT.
Old posts say that many MTs fail their testing, and they have offered low pay before, too. Soft

yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM

So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.

Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.

If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

Their last job opening on the other board isn't dated. They were using Vianeta &Arrendale? soft

The only company I have ever worked for is Soft Script so I have absolutely nothing to compare sm
it to. I had my own accounts, lost them and so went with the first company to high resistance me!  I've been with them a few years now and certainly have had issues but with absolutely nothing to compare it to, I have always assumed this was just par for the course....now after reading all these negative comments about the management and the platform, etc., I am wondering what I'm missing by staying with SS...how much worse is this company than most? Would it be prudent to start interviewing with other companies and if so, which ones are better than SS. I would so appreciate any input....I support myself and believe me if I can find a better company where I could make a bit more money...I would be there yesterday! 
OK. It is late and I yearn for sleep. Yet more I yearn
time, this thing she explains so well that I do not understand.  I want to have it explained again, please 'x.'  You have a gift for this and I am waiting. Please tell me what I will agree to because I will understand as I don't agree because I don't understand. I am waiting so just go ahead now. Very much I thank you 'x' for caring so much to share this understandment.  Thank you.
They are a mom and pop. I doubt they could buy anyone.

I doubt SEs will be out with MQ.
I think they probably get very excellent coverage from SEs because there isn't the same schedule/time limitations and therefore SEs feel more free to work as they can.

I'm an SE and I truly hope it doesn't change much for me but, if it does, I will just have to re-evaluate and decide if I want to make that change.

I think SEs may see a changes in the form of base pay rates, shift differentials, etc., all the pay issues but no re-classification as it seems is coming for PT and FT employees. They will probably offer a very attractive employee package for SEs for those who were walking the line about SE vs Employee status.

We will see, I guess.
