Why? Sometimes you have to repeat it
before it sinks in. I don't even know what TTS is, but if there were enough similar posts, you're darn right I'd avoid them. Plus, if other MT's read the repeated posts, they may chime in. This is how class-action suits are filed. All you have to do is look up Soft Scrit to see all the nasty postings from many, many different people. And those postings are TRUE too!
Well, as a single mom, do not, I repeat do not,
You will be soooorrrrrrryyyyyy. I guarantee it. There are too many other GOOD jobs out there, keep looking and good luck.
Don't know what is happening with my brief post below, so will repeat. SM
If most of the drafts you get are truly all that good now, then it sounds like you won't even be needed in the not too distant future. Pretty soon those drafts won't need editing. What then?
Repeat, never a problem with my checks
I've never had a problem with PTO, sick leave, vacation pay, or anything else. I also don't have trouble understanding the pay sheets.
If this was repeat occurance, surely you kept last

It has been mentioned on here before but I will repeat because it is true. Sometimes the "fit
either for the company or the MT. What is an dream job for one person is a nightmare job for another person.

I work for a company that is talked about here frequently, both good and bad, and it is hard for me to believe that the bad posts are about the same company that I work for.

I received great training, great feedback, have steady work, like my supervisor, get paid well and on time, etc.

My friend, whom I have worked with at several companies, going back 15 years starting at the same hospital, felt that the SAME supervisor was horrible, the SAME account was terrible and she hated it.

Maybe you are reading into things wrong, maybe not. Either way, it does not sound like you liked the company and/or they did not like you.

One way to avoid this, and it sounds so trite without my meaning to, is to go with your gut instinct and not start with a company that you do not click with.

Maybe they were looking to unload a difficult doctor on you and based on things that you told them, they thought you could handle him/her. Then something happened that made them re-evaluate their opinion of you and/or your work. Maybe it had nothing to do with this doctor, but they were testing the waters to see if you were a team player or to see if you could take a challenge.

All you can do is learn from this and then leave it behind you. Good luck on finding the perfect company. It makes the world of difference when you finally find your home!
No work at MDI, I repeat, No work at MDI!!!
I have just read the below post and I do not want to start any trouble,but it is true, there is no work at MDI.  I have been at MDI for 1 year now and the work is drying up.  I now have to start looking for other employment because I feel they have overhired or have lost some major accounts.  I have contacted my supervisor and I am told try to log on in the evenings or weekends more.  I did, but the work is slim to none.  If anyone is thinking about this company, please save yourself and not come aboard.
No, not foreign sounding
Try ebonics.
pretty hateful sounding
I reread my posts and I said Fine that I understood what you were saying was rude.  I was just commenting about the line count issue at Transcend, giving MY opinion.  I have yet to see in any of my posts anything rude or sarcastic towards you.  I don't understand why your posts to me have an accusatory or rude context to them.  I disagree with you on certain issues that we have talked about here.  There is nothing wrong with that.  I understood and understand what you thought was rude.  Okay, get over it!  I am done talking about that, I was just trying to give my opinion about the company.  I could care less about having the last word or not.  I just want to give my opinion that happens to represent a fair amount of MTs out there who happen to be happy at their company.  Sorry if that bothers you to the core! 
I should not have posted sounding angry. The
fighting back and forth is juvenile and I am not going to take part in it any longer. The only drama with Keystrokes is on these boards. Please don't let it stop you from applying. We want long-time, solid, steady MTs.
I think its more of a "rhythm" sounding thing. sm
You know if you type the word the with three letters, it sounds different than a word with six letters. I don't know how to explain it but I can hear the typos! Yeah we learned in the same era! I remember those black strike-arm typewriters we had when learning in school! I can remember typing 80 wpm on those. I bet I couldn't type 10 wpm now on one! That is just too funny!
Sounding kinda paranoid.
Why are you so up in arms? Some of your comments sound like you're a caffeinated conspiracy theorist.

For instance, you think IC's billing statements will be scrutinized.

Uh, I have no problem with my bills being scrutinized. They are absolutely accurate and in keeping with my contract. Why would anybody be concerned unless they were trying to fudge the system, hmmmm?


As far as companies putting Spyware on ... pfffft. I go through a HIPPA compliance training session every year. Takes, what, 10 minutes? I sign the paper. Everybody's happy.

Mountain.

Molehill.

Learn to differentiate the difference and you'll be a much more relaxed person, IMO.
At the risk of sounding offensive
You must be doing something wrong. Admittedly, every opening posted gets probably 100 applicants, but they are still hiring good people. I hated the job I had, applied/tested/interviewed for one that sounded good, and got that at 9 cpl. I wanted some easy typing, so I applied/tested/interviewed for another one, similar to the one the OP is looking for and got that one for 8.5 cpl.

Of course, now that the company has read that they can find chumps to sit and type it for 7 cpl, my job security may be out the window. Of course, the same people that will screw their fellow American MTs out of work by working for that amount will be the first ones on here crying about how they lost their account because it got sent offshore just to save a few pennies.
be careful, you are sounding like a cheerleader. Dont
