Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Keystrokes BOUGHT an office rather than renting, moved

Posted By: KS Lead MT on 2006-01-29

less than 20 miles away, kept the same phone number and sent out the address changes after settled in. What is wrong with that? Do we need to keep everyone in on every detail? If so, I should tell you that we added 14 phone lines to the dictation system.

Management has only added people and changed TWO in FOUR years. What company, in and out of transcription, has the same management team in place forever? People move on to other companies, other careers, take time off, etc.

No wonder the owners tell us all just to ignore the boards; some of the posts are ridiculous.

Just as an aside so you know the proper terminology, a transcriber is a machine; transcriptionists are the humans.

They recently moved to another office.
One of my friends who was recently hired was about to train, but that did not push through as the network was still quite down and the telephone line changed.

I have been working with them for almost two months now.

At first I had lots of files to work on (thanks to a new account they recently just acquired). Nowadays, they are a-trickling! Maybe I should ask for another account.
I heard it was the company that bought their office in India. SPI?

I started as an IC with Keystrokes and moved to employee status after 90 days. nm

Keystrokes BOUGHT an...
According to my dictionary transcriber is a person. It only takes a second to look it up.
Equipment bought by Keystrokes
Anyone who can help with a telephone number for  Keystrokes please e-mail me.  I sent her a Lanier 219 unit one month ago today and even after several reassurances I'd be sent a check for the agreed-upon amount, still haven't gotten paid for it.  I understand there has been sickness with several people in the company and other difficulties last month, but I'm getting really worried.  Thanks very much!
and they could be together or just renting...sm

I know that many MDs are sharing office space - some are actually together in a large group as one group and some are not, just using/renting space.


We have an office near where I live where it's an orthopaedist's huge office and they have 8 orthopaedists.  They also have a rheumatologist there and other physicians who are not really part of their orthopaedic group. 


hope this helps a tad....


Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
When I am renting, I am PAYING; when I'm working, THEY are paying ME. sm
Seems I should be running a credit check on the potential employer to see if THEY are responsible with their money, not the other way around.
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm
nm
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state.  The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit.  The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone. 
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm

Have not moved around a lot
I have not jumped around a lot, worked for MRC when they were around years ago, then Medifax and Speris when it was Edix, now work for a small MTSO. Am happy but no benefits, no incentive, get paid the same as a new hire just out of school, kind of depressing.
Ask to be moved to something else...
I have heard the same thing about BeyondTXT. It seems like two different worlds.
how have you moved on if you are here....try
nm
I have moved on
and kept looking for other employment, but I didn't know if I needed to email her officially quitting or what (how ridiculous after all this time...).  I signed an IC contract, so I didn't know if that means I'm bound to anything.  I don't know how this works!!  Anyway, I'll just let it go and continue moving on - thank you everyone for the replies!! 
I do believe they all moved now.

Yes, she moved

out of state of Alabama.


Wow...you just moved yourself to the top...
of many people's NO WAY list.

Oh, and your confidentiality disclaimer probably doesn't stop her from distributing if she was the intended recipient.


Mine was moved to an IRA and then
I just moved it to my new company from there when I became eligible to get one from the new place.  Wasn't a problem at all.
If you have moved on, why are you still on this board? nm
mm
All the reasons I moved on
Gotta eat and like to actually get in touch with people.
I think she moved from Alabama, not sure...nm

just moved SS to the top of my list
If the word lie or liar was never implied, then what exactly did you mean when you wrote this in your earlier post:

Your original posting was filled with untruths

What exactly were you implying when you wrote that?


When I was there they ran out on all shifts, so I moved on. NM

Would this be DSG? Certainly what I noticed with the DQS software there. I moved on. nm
n
Wow! That's great....I think I just moved Amphion

to the top of my list!  Thanks!! 


I have friends who used to work for FN and moved on. sm
FN has more than their share of ESLs and you very well know it.  You are not only snippy, as someone said, you are condescending and misleading. 
This is not true. This thread was moved. (SM)
This thread belongs on the Company board and it was moved. However, in moving messages all replies are automatically deleted by the software.

Goldbird
I know of someone that had a very negative experience with them and moved on right away. nm

It's a shame when a post gets moved
to another board/correct board - that posts made to it in the meantime are lost.  I've seen good replies lost that way. :(
You moved me from the main, to here, now I'm Lost! NM
nm
Is it possible your posts were moved to a different board? nm
x
Actually now these posts have moved to the top 1/2 of page
s
It just means it was moved to the appropriate board. nm

I actually moved the monitor closer
.
I moved to Transtech and couldn't be

We don't have the pool any longer- we moved

A Mexican family.  So, I'm not paying for anything.  The pool installers were American and lazy, broke the filter, and took all day and night and brought theird kids to play on my swing set and requested soda.  The Mexican landscapers required no water, did not ask to use my toilet, and were done in one-half day with a lot of digging and a lot of stone work that would have taken a lot longer if they didn't work as hard as they did in the blazing sun.  The American installers did nothing but cuss, moan, and complain about the heat. 


As far as healthcare, we'll be paying more anyway once Hillary gives everyone who can't afford healthcare, free healthcare.  Too bad, Americans are too lazy to work harder and smarter.  I'm all American, born and raised, and I work very hard, but hey if the foreign entity comes along (like it did on my hospital job) and says they can do it cheaper, then what can I do?


Mine experience was the same..so I moved on...
nm
Alltype moved all account to VR

Unless Oschner moved to Bangalore, no.. that is not the case.

I just do it as a second job so I don't get rusty. I've moved on to a completely different car

Yes to Shorthand. I transfered mine when I moved over to KS from MQ. nm

Yes..it is the same person/company. Guess they moved

There is a lot of negatives in the archives, moving to another state doesn't change that.


 


Wow, that's awful! I recently moved to another state and they have a WF here sm
and I had thought of opening an account there, thinking it was a big national bank and might be the best bet -- thanks for the heads up!  I certainly do not need those kinds of headaches. 
I think that really does explain it! I bet those accounts will be moved by December though. nm
nm
I am happy for you that your accounts have not been moved to Beyondtxt yet! sm
I will be interested to here your opinion of the software when they are moved over in a few months.
I moved this post to the Company board. NM

Not anymore. I think the nuts have moved on and the owner is less stressed now. I see a sm
a much calmer atmosphere this time around. I've been back just over a year and it is night and day from four years ago.
Must be MDI-FL. Has its moments. Either too much work or not enough. No happy medium there. Moved on
No thanks.
