    You were just posting on her board
    when she didn't like your avatar.  ???????????  I'm not sure I understand this whole thread.  There are a lot of companies that offshore and there are also a lot of companies that do not pay ever.  It's a shame, but it's true.
    How did they get your name from posting on this board. nm
    :
    Before posting on any board you should know the rules/
    guidelines.   There is a link on the top of each page that tells you what you need to know and one of them is not to post account information.  No one is attacking you.  It is just common sense that you don't go around posting account information. 
    Posting my resume on job board

    TIA


    It's simple, look at the job posting board.
    The more ads you see from the same company, they are the companies to avoid.  They have the biggest turnover and the worst MTs.
    WHO is being sued for posting on the board?
    Seriously is someone being sued for their post?

    If so, what is the charge?

    On the face of it, this seems outrageous - would appreciate any details you can share.


    No info about the company, but there is an ad on the second page of Job Seeker's board. nm

    I found it, bottom page 2 Company board

    There is SO much info...read this board and do searches on each page.

    Was let go from Zylomed because of posting to MTStars board
    Just a little followup to my post of 10-14-06 post to this board.  The Zylomed MT manager failed to address the real issue I raised concerning taking away regular work without notice or explaination, but decided to let me go today because of my post about their company to this board.  So, because of my comments I have been let go.  Maybe it's best to not name company names (excuse me, my tongue is in my cheek) on a board that's specifically designed to uncover these problems.  So, MTs beware, I guess.  However, I received many supportive emails from others visiting this board--one of those kind MTs referred me to another service that I'm starting with tomorrow (while I beat the pavement locally.)  Much happier MT today!  Feel like I can breathe again.  This board has awesome support.  All worked out well.

    I may be posting this question on the wrong board but
    does anyone know who manufactures or carries a computer chair that has arms which pivot from the position at each side of the chair (regular position for armrests) to the front of the chair which gives you a really nice armrest. I saw one chair like this recently, but before I could even look into buying it, the college that was using it put it in for their auction and I lost track of it. It was the nicest chair I have ever sat in and the one I have now is ready for retirement. Thanks so much if anyone knows of this. :)
    At the top of the company board page, do a google search for MTStars.
    Start reading. This is an Indian based company. There were recent posts over the past few days about this company.
    Posting on the company board and companies figuring out

    who it is.  Okay, this is the topic, and the reason why I am bringing this up is there were at least 2 posts here in the last week stating they believed the company would find out or did find out they posted here and they said negative things and might get fired or did not get hired because of it.


    How is this possible? Can a recruiter or boss actually pin down who is posting? What if someone says something and they are a troll and sounds like a situation which the company person perceives is an employee and they take it out on the possible new hire or employee and they are wrong?


    There have been posts here in the past by company managers who say if they find out who is posting they will sue for slander.  Then, MTs come on here and assume that the companies go to the board managers and get the IP address to figure out who this is.  Even if it was a certain IP address, and they went through this whole process to find out, it could be routed through another IP address such as overseas (this is often done in the case of hiding identity).


    Since this is an anon board, how can any company say for sure it is a certain person. Why would they go to the trouble unless it were given to the police or a lawyer in the case of attempted murder or threat of such?


    I want to know you opinions. And moderator please feel free to comment.  Wondering if our IP addresses are given out every time a company suspects something and if so, is this an invasion of our privacy since this should be anon.  Or, is it that people are paranoid, whether it be the employee/new hire, or company assuming such.  Remember to never assume because why? You make an *** out of u and me.


    Thanks for your comments.  This has been bothering me a while now, and I would like to get some input back on this issue from companies and from posters alike.


    WAITING FOR WORK? POSTING ON JOB SEEKERS BOARD.sm

    07/28/09 for new MTs, FT & PT, all shifts.  Are they saying the accounts are UNDERSTAFFED?


    Naturally, the new hirees will be gooing and gushing all over this board again about how GREAT their accounts are and how  EASY their dictators are.


    I JUST WONDER WHAT THIS LATEST, YET ANOTHER HIRING BLITZ IS GOING TO LEAD TO IN ANOTHER FEW WEEKS.  Anyone care to predict?  .


    ANYONE ELSE BEING SUED BY TRANSTECH MEDICALFOR POSTING ON THIS BOARD??

    The problem with posting a question like that on a public board is that you could get inaccurate inf
    I asked a question about a company I worked for, received 5 responses all saying the same thing, that we were paid for a holiday, which was wrong. I counted on it and was in a bind because of it.
    God forbid the poor poster made a mistake by posting on the wrong board!! Good grief!

    QA policies

    Hi All,


    I am working with a company that is in the formation stages and was trying to get input so we could put together a very competitive package for MTs.  I know average line rates, etc. but wanted input on experiences anyone has had with regards to QA policies - do companies penalize for bad quality and, if so, how much?  Same with turnaround time.  The more details you can provide, the better.


    Thanks for any feedback!


    What policies are those??

    New OSI policies

    Now in order to be paid for holidays you have to have at least 98% QA score for the previous 6 months.  I understand how quality counts but if you are counted off for any moronic thing which is usually the case because there is no consistency whatsoever with OSi QA dept. you will not be paid for holidays within 6 month period. You must also meet minimum line requirements and it doesn't matter if there is no work, low work or PTO.  I cannot believe that if there is no work prior to a holiday you won't be paid for the holiday.  Just another way to rip off the MTs who are the bread to the butter of this company. Fortunately I have never had a QA problem but I have run out of work on more than one account.  This is one more reason I have decided to give OSI a big kick in the behind, BYE BYE OSI.  GOOD GRIEF!


    Company policies
    usually state that no political affiliation be displayed in the work place, and I believe that sending political emails is definitely against procedures and protocol of any company.  Employees can get fired for promoting personal beliefs in the workplace, but managers and owners can preach religion and push their political beliefs.  Double standards ad infinitum.
    Transtech does not have any policies like this
    nm
    Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about
    s
    I have BCBS individual policies for myself and
    my last home-living son. When all my children were still at home, they had individual policies that they could take with them.

    It was cheaper for me to do buy each of us an individual policy and know that I can keep us insured 100% of the time regardless of whether I changed jobs or not.

    The plan I chose for ours has a $5000 major medical deductible but we have not ever had to use hospitalization and I can pay out $5000 one way or another. Office visits are covered 100%. That was my main concern as I wanted the routine items covered. I can handle facing the other big ticket items. I also wanted the lowest premium possible. It was a great bargain for us.

    TTS does not change policies, procedures and
    don't drop bomb shells constantly like MQ. I work for both and TTS is a reliable MTSO to work for, little hassel and no stress, not to mention actually having a primary to work on. I would rather make 9 cpl and have job security and comfort with TTS than all the stress of MQ! Take the job, you will love it!
    Whoa! That's one of the strangest policies I've seen
    They make you list 3 places you tried to look up a term? That's just plain nuts. I wonder what their turnover rate is.

    Thanks for the info.
    I have a question regarding pre-existing and insurance policies if anyone can help me. sm
    I haven't had insurance in a long time but my DH is coming up to qualify for insurance in July. It is BC/BS and is $305/mo for he and I with $2000 deductible. I have been having a lot of medical issues lately. I see on the paperwork it asks for proof of insurance for the last 18 months. I don't have any. Anybody know what they will do about pre-existing? I could go to a doc where nothing is documented but at this point I am not sure if it is better for me to search my own policy or get on his given my medical situations. I don't know how the pre-existing things work.
    it is NO longer MDI people, it is Transcend policies
    The rules change, the people change either from new policies or new staff.

    Didn't you read where they send out threats of termination if line count not met YET YET, the MTs don't have the work to GET the line count and they know it, were told that.
    there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
    I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.

    I've had private individual policies and you pay a fortunate for bad coverage.
    You either get stuck with an awful deductible or a policy which limits coverage. So, that is not always a good option. If you want a decent cheap premium, you get what you pay for.
    For decent private individual policies, it is very expensive for a family.
    Unless, you have a $5000-7500 deductible and a 50% copay on prescriptions which is bad for us because my son takes medication that costs $160 a month.  If we went with a policy equal to what my job provides, the premium is over $1000 a month. With my job, I am paying about $400 a month for family coverage.
    the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
    job seekers board. It is under state boards
