In Reply to: And still haven't. BTW the job on the jobseeker's board...sm - BrokeMT
companies need to have their names out there. I don't care what their excuse is...if a MT works for you, no matter how long or circumstances, pay them!!! They need to be turned in. I find it disgusting to NOT pay your employees and keep trying to recruit more suckers. Shame on them.

I had the same pathetic OSI experience
They aren't required to pay out PTO and I never got mine either, bummer.
What a pathetic individual
I know what you're alluding to, even though you are too much of a coward to say it outright. If you can't say anything nice, or heaven forbid be supportive of this individual, then just keep it to yourself.
I, too, work for OSi and have for a few years. It's bad enough that you come on here and trash the company, now you're making personal attacks?! Go crawl back into your hole!
You are so deluded it's pathetic,
that your job will be safe with cheaper labor around to do your job. You may be a bleeding heart that doesn't mind your fellow Americans losing their jobs and losing everything else which comes with it, but most of US MTs care about each other. What is so horrible about Indian/Pakistani MTs doing work in their OWN country by their OWN doctors?! You liberals astound me with your stupidity.
That is a pathetic truth.
Just LITTLE , PATHETIC, WORTHLESS Me

This is the most pathetic comment
I have ever read. Thanks for re-posting to see what sorry pathetic attitude that Pacific is defending. Pacific and sm are probably cherry-picking supervisors' pets anyway.
offer of IC at 9/4...seems pathetic...
 I'm wondering if I'm just expecting too much
They are probably trying to hide again because they
have a horrendous reputation. They have moved from one state to another, hid behind the software company, and now they have changed their name it seems. The claim to be Christian, but their actions say otherwise.
I would avoid them at all costs.
You should never have to pay up front for equipment/software to work for a company. They may require you to have the equipment, but they should not require you to buy it from them and if they offer to sell it they should to it on a payroll deduction.
Nothing to hide - sm
Maybe personal files, pictures... I really don't think that anyone would choose to have someone have total access to their PC at anytime. Just what I think.
They all have something to hide. SM
Having a forum where they can suposedly answer questions is useless. Recruiters are not the appropriate people to find out about what it's like to work somewhere. They are paid to put a spin on every potentially negative thing - not to mention most of them have never typed a report. Companies also change recruiters like they change underwear, so getting an answer one day from one person means nothing when you are dealing with someone else.
The company owners are not appropriate because if you dared to ask about something that doesn't measure up, they tend to get very huffy and start demanding that posts be deleted.
Absolutely. However, all the flaming is pathetic so
search the boards. There are plenty of MTs with positive situations with them.
That is PATHETIC! Co is offering an IC position
at 5 cpl (yes, 5 cpl for an IC!!!!) with a POSSIBLE raise to 6 cpl in 90 days. That's the worst I've seen yet. I sincerely hope noone stoops as low as to accept that kind of pay.
See inside for what I have done about this very pathetic situation.
Well what I did was get a second PT job and when the first one runs out of work go into the second job. I dont sit and wait anymore and I dont help out when other MTs decide to not work. We are all IC. That is what I did and it seems to work because they get the idea finally that you are going to continue to do this and they just more or less tolerate it and keep right on hiring. It really doesnt matter to them so it works fine for me.
really who cares if you have nothing to hide?
now if they are delving into your personal life then thats another story, thats just plain nosey. But a criminal background check is not a bad idea.
proveros cant hide
This is hilarious. I am sure shortly Syd or Sheri at Proveros will whine to take these posts down. Because it is defamatory. LOL But you can run but you cant hide. Proveros is a deplorable company to work for for FREE.. Bottom line over and over and over again.. Pay is LATE or NON existent. Whine away girls at Proveros. We all know the deal.
they aren't even trying to hide where sm
they are at anymore are they? They want Americans to come to Saudi Arabia?
Don't know if you remember this but back in the 80s and 90s, many MTs use to go to Saudi Arabia for a contracted amount of time to work as MTs. The draw for many MTs was the fact taht they money was ridiculously high, food and housing was free and MTs went over there to make the big bucks in a short time. Kind of like American civilian workers who go to Iraq to work contract jobs.
I know several MTs that went over there and for women the conditions were outrageous. you have to go by their laws.......you can imagine. I wonder if this is like that OR if this is something else and they actually expect Americans to come over there and work?
I don't even know why that website allows these companies to post their work ads. Ridiculous. Its like a big slap in the face.

If they keep offering those pathetic line rates
LOL.
When a company is secretive about who they are, they are trying to hide something.
I won't respond to someone that does not say who they are because you have no clue whether or not they are even legitimate.
DITTO They used to hide it & fired former QA mgr
If they had NOTHING to hide she should have NEVER BEEN FIRED!! She was a super QA manager. When she got fired a mass exit of MT followed.
Be glad you did not go to work for OSI. You are much better off anywhere else.
Because anonymity is a cloak to hide behind
No way would anyone speak to another person they way they do here. Most people have self-control, but here, that is thrown to the wind.
I didn't know people could be so mean to each other until I started reading on this board!
No way...TROLLS hide under bridges
And those things are annoying and smell bad.
*smile*
Yikes..5 cpl and they filled the positions..pathetic..okay all you out there that stooped so low to
accept that rate, please raise your hand LOL.. That is SHOCKING..who could live on 5 cpl. I think I'd be insulted and humilated and DESPERATE to accept that rate. I'm pretty sure they are getting more than 5 cpl from their clients. You can bet they are making more than enough by having the slaves work for free practically.
I agree. I wasn't about to apply for that pathetic amount, but that is why
I was curious. At 7 cpl, they better lower their standards for experience, like someone right out of school who just needs the experience because they certainly couldn't survive on that for a living.
I wasn't aware that Medware was trying to hide their
involvement in India with Medware India. This is actually a very good program, just like the one Transcription Relief Services has going on.
Neither of these companies sneak around and hide the fact that they offshore and both companies still actively hire US MTs and editors.
I am very happy with my editing job at Medware and having the opportunity to work with some really great professionals in this industry.
If you would rather work for a company who offshores and then lies to their employees and clients about it, then go for it. To me that is a very unstable situation to be in.
Sending work offshore is a fact of life, the way a company goes about it is what makes the difference.
Spheris does not hide the fact it off shores. It was a
news letter.
Personally, I think that is awesome. They're not trying hide anything from anybody. I think tha
would be a company worth checking into.
Some of the VR editing work you have to retype the whole report and then you get pathetic job offers
I had some offers for editing VR as low as 1.5-3.0 cpl and I just want to say to them ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! That is not realistic. I am really afraid to see where this profession is going. Slave wages.
If transcend has so much to hide and has to treat everyone with threats, they stay away.
That is a big red flag in everyone's face. From what I read, they are going downhill fast with lots of disgruntled employees anyway, so I am sure they will all leave the company "at will" when they find new jobs.
If you're not afraid to hide, then tell us who you are so we DON'T apply to your company!!!!
AND, if you don't NEED us for anything, then why are you HERE!! Go away!
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me. 
Only when names are used. If you do not
use names, the posts will not be deleted.
This must have been a long time ago because with HIPAA, no one can use someone else's ID and KS is very strict about that now, if not in the past.
The leads have been changed over the past few years and especially over the past few months and weeks.
It might be worth revisiting just to see the positive changes. I am not saying that KS is the right fit for everyone, but I will say that things are MUCH better organized over the past 3 months than EVER before and the new office, with having so many people in the same place (finally) will make that the norm not the exception.
I can't name names but this is
There must be a lot of problem in QA and I heard a rumor that 3 people are about to get fired. they wanted somebody in there in place before this happens so they will have a QA staff because they have a big backlog. I wasn't sure about it because they kind of come and go so I was offered the extra line rates for now to motivate me to learn my newbie program and take the step to teach QA
Those 2 names
Probably the same 2 from the other company
seems to me I see the same names
I always see every day and communicate with regularly with the same MTs - - group looks to be over 100 now where is used to be only about 50 - - they are growing and that's why they need MORE MTs... new accounts like crazy coming on, I see the emails from the acct manager regarding new accounts starting up - - reason tells you thats why they need more MTs - I know I'm not working on any of the new accounts and see a growing list of MTs in the group emails weekly
I don't know particular names, but
that advertise they use an FTP site. Most FTP sites have you type in Word. Hope this helps a little. Not a platform lover here either.
No more names, please. (sm)
I have removed several replies to this thread that were naming 2 different people associated with this company.
Let's just leave the last names off and realize that the original poster is referring to the company Allstate and the owner of it.

They also use other names now since so many
I recently saw ads with another name and it was the same exact wording TransAm uses so they're now using other names to try to lure unsuspecting MTs into their web. Basically, a good rule of thumb is any company that advertises 100 of the same ad all over the place, states you can make a ton of money with no experience and they'll show you how, and wants you to work for free or pennies, it's a scam, and probably TranScam. lol
I would like to see names also, but
also think it is a crap shoot either way. You never really know if a company is the right fit for you until you actually work for them. It all depends on what a person is looking for, what accounts they get, their supervisor, etc. For instance, there are a lot of negative posts about MQ, but I do very well there. Some companies that people rave about being good I have worked for and not been happy with, mostly due to lack of work or platform...crap shoot.
I don't want to name names...but...sm
it is a job posted on mtjobs.com.....company out of california.
I don't think so..unless she has different business names. nm

They had people's NAMES in them, a no-no.
I do not know of ML&M or any of those names but Jamie.

Ubiqus goes by many different names - and
they also offshore their work. In fact, they have lost quite a few clients in the past three months because of the quality of the work that is being returned. I work with their sales guy, as well as transcribe for them. But I DEFINITELY do not rely on them to be my bread and butter. I'd be the skinniest Transcriptionist in the world! They definitely do not pay well for pharmaceutical work
Funniest thing - the owners used to have this thing about converting everyone that worked onsite to go into scientology. I just humor them.
Is there some reason we can't come right out and name names?
Do we have to use cryptic abbreviations for these non-paying or slow-paying companies?
You can't post names
/
PS: No names needed.
No names needed, as I believe that is against board policy now, but just wanted to get a broad idea of how much per year deductable you pay if you work for a national service.
I would also ask about looking patient's names up and such.
z
Personal names. How would you like to see your own name
trashed on this forum? If not, maybe you shouldn't do it to this man, either.
You don't call names?
Be careful of your thoughts. They become words.
Be careful of your words. They become actions.
Be careful of your actions. They become habits.
Be careful of your habits. They become your character.
Be careful of your character. It becomes your legacy.
