    It has nothing to do with MTStars or the owner of MTStars. It
    has to do with the fact that the person who posted gave enough information that the company recognized who it was.  We, at MTStars, do not give anyone information about who posts what.
    Thank you, Admin!!! sm
    It's not that I don't believe MQ MTs have just as much right to post here as anyone else. It's just that there are so darned many of them that wading through their posts was getting to be a pain.
    I've been in admin before... (sm)

    It was impossible to balance the accounts and keep everybody happy. Stuff would get backed up to the point that accounts were in danger of being lost. MTs would be hired. Dictation would suddenly slow down, and people would run out of work. Some would be out of work while others had tons of work due to individual ability to do various work types.

    I don't think they try to overhire. Usually the people who recruit are told what to hire for. They don't have anything to do with setting the number. It's just a crappy field. Either the clients are unhappy or the MTs are unhappy. I'm an MT again, and I can relate to both. The field just sucks if you don't have a backup form of income.


    obviously there is a KS admin person
    You may have had a good experience, but others are not and that cannot be denied. I was raring to start work and I got pushed away until... their loss, I might add.... I got another offer, a pretty good one at that.

    The Admin is not the offshore

    You have to have admin rights to get
    .
    What do mean by admin rights?
    Do you mean whoever we work for has control over the line counting method? 
    IP numbers can be seen by the admin BUT a lot

    of money will be paid for the service of having someone's records subpoenaed. I have read this entire thread and I see nothing that anyone can really do.


    IP addresses are not definitive either. Groups of people can share an IP address particularly on places like AOL and there are other companies that do it that way also, so someone would really have to go to lengths to find out the definite ID of someone. I don't believe I have read anything other than independent opinions presented on this topic.


    These boards are to share opinions and not all opinions are fair, but this is the United States and we do have freedom of speech. Presenting an opinion about a company is ok. Libeling a company is not. I do not see libel at all in this topic.


    All the ones I never lied to !!!
    x
    lied to again
    I'm IC, too. Your line requirement is 4000 lines in a pay period -- I was told a while back that ALL of the offices were going to require 6000 lines for IC's.
    I have to say, though, I was never lied to by MQ

    I'm not trying to start a MQ dispute here, I know this isn't the MQ board, but I left Precyse and went to MQ and I have been treated sooooo much better there and way more professional than I have ever been with Precyse.  Although, I think that any company would have treated their employees more professional than my supervisor.


    I am the type of person that doesn't need my hand held, I would rather have minimal communication...BUT when I have a question and the lack of work is making my pay go to ZILCH.. It is their job to stop badgering me about line counts when e-mail upon e-mail was sent to them about not having work.


    .. I bet you can guess my pay because this was my average 5 day, 25 hour  week... log on work for 20 minutes, but never more than 1 hour...no work the rest of the night...then hear about you have to make that time up  ..lol, when? I tried to get my schedule changed for that exact reason and was absolutely, flat out denied.


    Like I have said before, I guess maybe it isn't the company itself, but the lovely supervisors that are hired that make or break your experience.


    Again...they should not have LIED.
    Not every MTSO requires this. If I am being hired to QA...then my QA skills should be assessed. If I was a poor MT I never would have been able to pass the testing. If I am a poor MT it will show in the work that I QA.
    they lied. NM
    .
    I feel bad for moderate/admin
    They remove them, but they don't really realize that the posts are true.  There are so many things that happened to me with that company that were bad.  If they realized how true most of the posts were, maybe they wouldn't delete them so often.  I don't know.
    Thank you, Admin. I agree wholeheartedly. NM
    ..
    Kudos to you Admin!! Ty whoever had the proof too!

    Anyone heard of these people?

    I fell for the first part of their scam.

    Now, I am trying to get my money back. I keep getting the run around from these people about my refund.

    I just want some information about this company because I am considering turning them in to a few agencies.

    If anyone has any information about them, please reply.

    I could use the state that live in, perhaps an address, name of a contact at the company, and a phone number would be great too.

    I would really appreciate any help anyone can give.

    If anyone is interested in hearing of all of the steps I have taken so far in trying to get my money back, just let me know. I will be happy to share.
    unless you're a moderator/admin..sm

    unless you're sysops and/or can grab IPs and DNS, you can only SURMISE who is posting what....


    However, the moderators and administrators can tell for sure.... *S* 


    good advice from admin above
    This is a good recruiting board.  Recruiters posing as MTs raving on and on about their company.  What snakes!
    They flat out lied to me then. They said
    they do not get any kind of pay at all. Hmmmm....
    Oh come ON! She lied her head off. sm
    She lied on the boards right up to the minute the electronic e-mail came out that said she had sold the business. Good gracious, some people have a short memory.  And when she was in the process of selling, she was send out e-mails saying how sick she was of all her MTs and talked about their K-Mart clothes and Kathie Lee hair.  I remember those e-mails being posted.  Pretty bad.  LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE.
    That is terrible, to be lied to and out of a job
    At OSi I took maternity leave and they constantly called me to work no matter what I told them.
    I am thinking they are disorganized and shorthanded with admin
    That is the impression I get.... and they called and told me not to call back because they are constantly on the phone. okay so ? But ?
    ATTN: Transcenders - Pls provide admin.
    that Transcend is offshoring, and they will be dealt with accordingly.
    The person that told you that LIED like a rug.
    If you have it in writing, I'd turn them in to the FTC or BBB for false advertising. $30,000 is pretty respectable.
    The fact that the offshore and lied about it so they
    could advertise here and when they were banned, they tried to hide their postings inside other posts and continued to post shows that the ethics don't exist.  I wouldn't need any more information than that. 
    Other than the offshore, lied about it and got caught you mean.
     
    Are you referring to the same HR person who lied about
    Look in the archives (9/05)for a series of posts about KS where several people posted that the HR person told them that she had worked there for X number of YEARS when in fact she had only been there a couple of weeks.

    I was one of the people she told this to. I am also one of the people who waited weeks to be contacted AFTER I HAD BEEN OFFERED A POSITION. Check it out for yourself. I have no reason to lie. I don't think anybody else has any reason to lie. The person you are referring to who gave you the stats about applicants and testing has lied before.

    I urge you to find the conversation on MTSTARS that I am referring to that occured in 9/05.
    One more thing...they lied on their web site
    When I applied with them, it stated on their web site that they paid for spaces. After starting work with them, I discovered that they didn't, and when I questioned them about it, they stated that they had changed their line counting program and hadn't yet changed the web site. Well, the last I looked, their web site said yes, we pay for spaces, so if anyone is desperate enough to go work for this company, I would make down sure it is in the contract what the time frame for payment is and whether or not they do in fact pay you for spaces. They are very devious at Rapid Transcript.
    wow 10 minutes a lot of time. She could have lied to you said sure ...
    was okay and then have it rejected once you go hired like a lot of places have done and will keep doing.

    You are lucky she was trying to at least work with you.
    Actually, it is my business, when I have been lied to in the past about (sm)
    why I am getting a pay cut.

    Also, if you are an IC, there is not unemployment tax, worker's comp and normally, there is no rent, because they work out of their homes.

    If they have been in business for a few years, you can be sure that their equipment and software are paid off. Again, no expense. Most companies do not provide equipment anymore, just the software and that is recycled if someone leaves.

    You are right, I don't have to be concerned if there is coverage for the work. What I have to be concerned with is if there IS work and if I am going to be able to pay my bills at the end of the month.

    And actually, I think it is everyone's business working for an MTSO, to know what their company charges the client. Why hide it?


    Transcend recruiter lied to me
    When I itested, interviewed and was offered a job at Transcend, the recruiter proceeded to tell me about this really nice account.  Turns out it was an account that I had worked on at Medquist, and it was far from nice.  As a matter of fact, it was one that I recalled as being among the worst.  I called her on this, and she tried to take back and edit what she had plainly said.  I figured, if the recruiter could lie about that, what else was she lying about?   I declined the position.  So, beware....

    Well, I guess I got lied to by the recruiter then. Nice.

    OSI lied when a company I worked for outsourced to OSI and .......
    The gentleman representing OSi was present offering five of us a job with OSI. I point blank asked the gentleman if OSI outsourced their work, because I did not want to work for a company who outsourced overseas. His response was, No they did not; however, if they ever felt the need to do so because a client specifically requests them to do so, they would have to consider the client's request. I had just cut out an article not three days before that meeting where an OSI executive stated they were outsourcing accounts to overseas. I did not have it with me because at the time of the meeting, we did not know that the meeting was to tell all of us we were outsourced, no more job, see ya or I would have shoved the article in his face after his answer. Of course, I had no intentions of ever working for them, but just wanted to see what people like that say when directly asked. Oh well, if that is how they run their business, it will catch up with them eventually.....
    It is his choice who he offers what position to. He should not have lied about it, but I think
    :+
    Not true. This info is on the Company board per Admin's request.
    It is all clearly marked "MQ" somewhere in the subject line or name.

    The Main board is virtually free of the new MQ posts. Go back over there or just scroll down the page to where you want to read.

    No one has forced you to read anything. Admin made a request that the new MQ info be placed on this board and we have complied.

    You're not obliged to read if you don't want to.
    Used to use this in a hospital setting, admin could change the number of characters per line (sm)
    at one point they had us typing an 80 character line. Talk about zapping your line rates down. Of course we worked for an hourly rate so it really didn't matter, just management's way of pushing us to do more. They only required 800 lines per day for a FT MT so they were trying to get their moneys worth I guess.
    I guess if I got screwed out of my paycheck or got lied to by an employer I'd have a rotten att
    This board is a great way to find out about an unsavory company before those things happen to you. If you think warning people about scheisters, liars, bottom feeders, and rip-off artists is amusing, time to double up on your meds, sweetheart.
    Nope, the board administrator checked with OSI and they lied to her and got caught.

    Mts have "personality disorders" ? Like, wanting to be paid what their worth and not lied to?
    How about vacation? Bereavement leave and not losing benefits because your parent is dying and you miss a quota?

    Or, how about wanting a 401-K and employer contribution? Or medical and dental benefits? Is wanting those a personality disorder?

    Or, wanting to make production, but getting NO WORK day after day, or getting only the worst dictators?

    Let me know where you work where it is perfect, because I want to work there, too. But, I also want benefits and vacation and bereavement leave and a 401-K, as a minimum, and I want steady work, like I am a steady worker, and I want to be paid what I deserve, and I want some good work along with all the crap.

    Thanks. Let me know. ONLY a profession of predominantly women would call the other women crazy for wanting the basics. Sheesh. Again, email me with that perfect job, because I'd like to have one just like it.
    Isn't Wal-Mart the company that lied/replaced labels several years back with Made in USA? nm

    Maybe MTStars

    is also hindering your production?


    MTStars

    This board is really a great help when looking for employment.   There are many positive posts that turn out to be decent companies, and then there are also negative posts about experiences each person has had.   Both perspectives should be allowed and not discouraged with threats.  Just maybe, these companies that are trying to decrease our wages even further and are deceptive in their business practices will be put out of business eventually and we might see a new trend.  There are a few businesses posted about regularly on this board that have the same issues come up time and time again.  I see these as red flags.   On the flip side it is just as important to let people know if you've found a good thing (this does not include recruiters on here making untruthful posts for their benefit).  This might encourage companies that are treating their MTs well and are above reproach to continue to strive towards making this once again a decent career path. One could only hope that a board like this would be able to make a significant difference in the way things have been going by networking and sharing our information.

    But what about those ads up at the top of MTStars? Those
    are their sponsers/advertisers.  One of those could also place a job post with MTstars.
