oops!! I meant "a" bitter not "an" wouldnt want the MTSO to NOT hire me LOL
Actually, my local hospital offered me MUCH less than what I make at my MTSO
By 4 cpl.
Please please do. My ego is SHOT!
.
Complete with mug shot
with a lot of help from her
this is a long shot, but
 Does StatIQ Solutions pay for headers?
Give it a shot
They gave me a chance years ago when I had little experience but tested well - am still there and happy. Downside: Heavy ESL, demanding work environment, expect you to stick like glue to your schedule, very specific accounts. Good: Pay, on time pay, lots of work, 100% US based, hey it's a job and one that I have had for a while now and will continue to defend on here regardless of the horror stories people had years ago with HR or the person who used to be in charge who has since passed away. Make your own decision and take a chance!
Your theory shot down
No money to be made here. Volunteer members do the work, and office products have been donated. No paid positions.
So . . . . you have nothing, basically.
I'd give it a shot
Are you looking for clinic or acute care? They do quite a bit of clinic work, too, and you might just be experienced in an area where they need someone. It would most definitely be in your best interest to throw your hat into the ring and apply, Robin...this is quite honestly the best place out there that I've found.
Let us know if you decide to go for it :-)
Didnt he get shot?
bang
give Diskriter a shot, sm,
they are hiring, some ESLs yes, good benefits, nice people, written test only, loads of work and paid downtime for the rare time there isn't - - can't hurt to give them a call and make your own decision if they match what you are looking for - - been in the business 15 years, best company I've worked for, 3 years running now
Give them a shot...I'm happy there...SM
It's something each person really needs to try for themselves to make an informed decision. I'm glad I went with them. No job is a bed of roses but overall I like the job. There will always be negative and positive opinions to sort through. I did lots of that when I was deciding where to go.
what a nasty shot at QA people
The only people you'll see in QA are the lazy ones who have no pride and no longer care.
Are you kidding me? People who make nasty comments like this with absolutely nothing to back it up are just simply trying to start something. What a nasty, nasty thing to say.
For the person who originally started this post, I personally can't stand doing MT work anymore. My wrists and back are shot and I have found that my ears are much sharper when my body isn't stressed out. I have found in QA my passion and talent and wouldn't trade it for anything. If you are awesome at MTing, maybe what everyone else is saying is worth heeding and you should stay where you are :)
TY. I'm gonna give it a shot...
Just turned in my resume. Thanks again for the info!
Thanks! I'll give that a shot....nm

Yes, they call it a "snap shot."
I also had the same concerns you are expressing and the tech guy said he wanted to take a snap shot of my computer. I have a very fast internet connection and it was taking him forever to download and get things setup. Was not happy and was worried my computer would be ruined. When I voice my concerns, he just said time out like I was just suppose to sit there and put up and shut up. I still get a of error messages.
I will give the resume a shot and apply! At least you
are passionate in defending your company - at this point in my experience with my company, I wish I felt the same way. So, to me, I'll try to look at your passion as a good sign for KS!

No wonder you don't have a man! You're so bitter!

I am not bitter, at all - I work for them and several others
that I dealt with. Little or no communication after training, always changing the rules, changing the hours, and what I believe they do is hire more people than they need for an account and then weed people out - I was hired for a specific account, specific hours and all of a sudden, additional hours were added, additional days, and there was a certain person, who although we were supposed to do all worktypes on this account, would do a TON of work, but just all the easy stuff. Left all the more difficult work for the rest of us. She looked like a shining star because she did a million reports, but they were all easy, never anything that required a bit of thought and experience. So, maybe it depends on the account, maybe if I did it again I would work for them as an IC, but never as an employee. Too many inconsistencies. Then, to top it off, pay dates got switched around, yet again. Maybe it's growing pains, I don't know ... but I can't wait around for them to get it together. It was a learning experience, and I've moved on, but I would just be careful, and make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing before committing, or you won't have a leg to stand on when the discrepancies arise. I am not a bitter employee ... I quit on my own because I could not stand the inconsistencies. I now work for a company where the rules and expectations were all outlined in writing, signed by both parties and I know what is expected of me, and me of my employer. In this business, there is much turmoil now ... take care of yourself, first and foremost, so you don't get taken advantage of.
You can add me to the bitter list, for sure! nm

Who is the disgruntled and bitter one here??
I'm honestly not trying to ruffle feathers, just trying to understand where all of the bitterness and pinned up anger comes from on this particular board. I'm a member of some very diverse forums where the topics range from taming naturally curly hair to finding the best vasectomy reversal surgeon. MT Stars is supposed to be a place where professionals can come, share resources, and build one another up. All some people ever seem to come here for is to tear others down. It's really sad to see such hateful, ugly remarks constantly being made at MTs just for asking a question. If you don't have anything positive or beneficial to bring to the board, why post at all? What do you gain by posting insults hidden by an alias??
Is it the isolation of working at home that causes so many otherwise intelligent people to lose the ability to interact in a civil manner? If I ever become as angry as some of the people I've seen here, I'd be making a career change.
Stepping off soapbox now and getting back to work.
What is up with all the angry, bitter MTs?????
Do you think we do this job as a hobby? Do you expect us to change our budget without any notice without major difficulty because work distribution isn't a high priorty to MTSOs?
not bitter just trying to tell the truth. sm
we have a whole entitlement society and you want to change the profession to fit your personal preferences.
I don't agree with the way MTSOs treat us regarding pay anymore. But the job is a 24/7 day a week job. Not that you have to work 24/7 but that is when the work is there. If the work isnt' there are your particular shift, then you should be willing to work when the work is there or accept that you won't get a paycheck, OR go back into an in-house setting.
I will have a job long after all the ones who got into this job for quick money, working at home thinking they could have it all will.
And you are very bitter. I hope you
aren't like that in the real world.
I'm not naive, I'm just loyal to a company that I work for, and may I suggest that you learn the meaning of loyalty.
The truth is VR is here to stay whether you like it or not.
I will not defend my reason for being with TT except to say I like working for TT, I like doing VR, and I plan to stay. If you work for TT and you're that unhappy, find another job. I'm sure there's a company out there that like people with negative attitudes and would hire you in a flash. If you don't work for TT and never have, then you have no right to post such negativity about the company.
There's no talking to a brick wall.
You don't owe these bitter MTs an explaination! Too many of us on here...sm
that haven't let this job get to us yet, that put family and God before any job understand where you are coming from and back you 110%. There isn't a topic in the world you could post on this board without a flame war. They are miserable and I think they like being that way. I don't get it. Maybe so people will leave their miserable butts alone so they care work their weekends!
Is that why you are such a BITTER person?
nm
Do they provide sample documents? If so, it may be worth a shot. nm

Thanks, I'll give it a shot! Hope they are hiring PT. nm
..
Long shot.. Does futurenet give out any kind sm
of Christmas bonus or gift? Just wondering.. Or for that matter, do any of the companies?
You sound bitter. I just got their new rates
starting in November and they are very reasonable. I do not know what you feel is high, but the mid range plan is $45+ a payperiod for individual, the low end plan is about 25, and the high end is 71. The high end plan is about average for all the companies I have seen.
If something went wrong for you at the company, act like an adult and call management and discuss it. I am not management, in fact, I am very new to the company, but your behavior is very childish. If you just did not like the company, just move on. If you have some very real facts about why they are so bad, then post them, but leave the venom out of your post.
Because of postings on a bitter board? Why would you
quit a job or question your judgement based on postings on an anonymous board? If you like the job, stay. If you don't, look elsewhere.
for someone so happy you sound bitter yourself
just an observation
I'm not bitter at all. And I love my company and my
job. Just made an objective commentary on how all the cheerleading for this company can strike some as cautionary. And your overreaction still confirms to me that something is fishy with these posts... That does not equate to bitterness, but rather, wisdom...And I never said I believe negative posters but not positives - you're reading a lot more into my simple statement. 
Not bitter..just giving my experience
nm
Gosh you are a bitter person. ...sm
You sound so bitter. You are confusing venting with looking for pity. Sometimes people post on here simply to hear other people's stories who are in the same boat. You know sometimes people just need to vent a little. It doesn't mean they want your pity.
Nasty, angry, and bitter
About a year ago, none of us were. We knew there were changes and trying to go along with them, but as SM so perfectly put it, they have made it very difficult. I could not have said it any better SM, cheers to you.
If you think this company is something you would like, then more power to you, just remember they are about their profits and they do not gave a damn about us.
All you TT people are so anger and bitter! sm
She said she just found out she was pregnant so I highly doubt she is going to pop out a kid tomorrow! Explain to me how you are paying for someone to have a baby - that doesn't make sense to me? I am sure most of you have been pregnant at one point in time and needed maternity leave then. I don't understand why you are all taking out your bitterness on your fellow colleague.
I hate this kind of cheap shot post. What's the deal? nm
nm
you sound very bitter...that is my interpretation and I am allowerd to have it...
why are you so upset somebody else gets to retire at half apparently at age 55?
this is my interpretation of what you wrote, and again, you sound bitter.
if these people are successful, which I highly doubt, but if they are, that could benefit all of us.
You probably need to get a life... Some people are sooooo bitter.
I am obviously good enough to keep busy with work.
haha, you are the one who sounds angry and bitter...
Don't worry about me or what you think I should do or need to do. I still have every right to express my opinion on this board, and you again are being rude and typical of 'your' profession.
Again, I believe medical care should not be a business. That sounds ludicrous to me. People without insurance cannot have access to health care...and people like you do not care.
We get it already, now perhaps you can go bother someone else. You are really starting to get repetitive and rude.
nasty/angry/bitter people
they're just voicing their opinion, like you just did. Does that make you nasty, anger, bitter too? I have never gotten a Christmas bonus since I have been a medical transcriptionist/editor, so I don't miss it, but I can certainly understand those who have gotten it in the past being upset about not getting it now.
when docs give mtso a check, then mtso pays you?
nm
How 'bout something to offset that bitter pill you swallowed?
?
This board is full of nasty , angry, bitter people. Why? sm
With this economic crisis that the entire world is under, we still have jobs that are fairly secure. We have jobs that pay more than minimum wage. We have benefits, unless IC status. We have good work environments, do not have the risk of losing an arm, leg or life in a piece of machinary or being blown up in a mine.
Yes, there are companies that do not pay. Yes, there are companies that do not pay more than 6 cpl, but we have a CHOICE on who to work for. Don't work for them. There are plenty of good companies that treat their employees well.
Christmas bonus? My husband was laid off last week from a job he has had for 27 years. That was his bonus.
Unemployment is at record highs, prices are at record highs and it does not seem to have an end in sight for many years.
Perhaps a depression would show Americans that nothing is free and people would stop standing with their hands out all the time.
As a society, we have come to expect everything to be handed to us. As a transcription professional, it is disheartening to see all the angry, bitter, hateful posts here all the time.
Transcription companies face the same rising costs as every other company out there and I am sure they feel the crunch too, but they are not telling this every second like other industries.
I am not an MTSO, not a manager, not a troll. I am just an MT who is grateful for her job and skills that will allow her family to survive this crisis without scars.
Don't worry. Next week, the bitter people will move on to attacking another company. It is just
you watch this board, you will see a pattern. One a week. Have to shred the reputations of good companies to bits just to feel good about being unhappy in general. I wonder sometimes if these people job hop constantly, even work at all, or work for the company they are bashing. Maybe it's just sick fun for those with no outside lives :)
Isn't she an MTSO owner - which MTSO ? Just curious. n/mnn
nnnn
That is ridiculous
I never heard anything so ridiculous - none of the companies do what? want you to earn too much? LOL. Every penny you put in your pocket is probably two in theirs. Companies want you earning as much as you can.
This is ridiculous...sm
I received an email today regarding an employment application I had submitted some time ago. I currently work as an IC and am very happy with my job, so the application must have been submitted at least 6 months ago. First of all, the email does not state the name of the company that I supposedly applied to. It is three sentences long and states that they are looking for ICs to work from home. They will pay 6.5 cpl without spaces! Attached is a list of their computer requirements. The email states that if I meet the requirements to contact them and they will direct me to their testing site.
I have about 20 years of experience as an MT. What is going on with this field that a company thinks that 6.5 cpl is a respectable rate for a seasoned MT? Not to mention not putting the name of the company in the email...so I don't even know who I'm dealing with. And, not paying for spaces?!?!? I will not work for a company that does not pay for spaces. A space is a keystroke. It should be counted. Spaces don't get into a document by magic!!
I have a good mind to respond to this email and tell them exactly what I think of their offer, but then again, it probably wouldn't do a bit of good.
ridiculous
That statement is absolutely ridiculous. The QA manager is the most easy person to get along.
That's ridiculous
I have to say that I used to be MTSO and while I was not rich, I definitely made more than the people who worked for me...if you don't, even part of the time, then you are doing something wrong and why be in business? And yes, most of the MTSOs that I know (and I do know 5 of them right in my general area) do live in the very best neighorhoods, have 5000 sq foot houses, and if not vacations homes, then quite a bit of money in the bank.
