What is up with that??? Are we the enemy or something?
I have just dealt with this. It has ruined my entire day. Such a condescending tone, Can we not talk about this again? Regarding my error...
getting to know the enemy
We're on the pavement and guess who kicked us there? I have never been so disappointed in a company in my life. I absolutely support any company owner in doing what they want with their company, but what really chaps my hyde is the fact that for three months I have sat here without any work and MDI has had NO CLUE where the work was. Yeah, right. I was dumb enough to hang on. I guess I am about as dumb as they come. I personally think things went south in the spring. Dunno what happened, but that is when it all started to fall apart for me. And really, I think we have MQ to thank indirectly for all of this. They proved that they could get away with murder, so to speak, in the corporate arena, and other companies are pushing the margin now as well. It's kind of like in a classroom of kids. If my grandson acts up (and he does) and is not corrected, his behavior will inspire other kids to follow suit and misbehave as well. That might be funny for a room of seven-year-olds. Not funny for CEOs--or their victims.
your worst enemy...
...is AHDI (formerly AAMT - note the absence of American in the new name)...while you are educating the public about Homeland Security violations, AHDI is going to be ACTIVELY working against you, facilitating & promoting CMT certification of offshore MTs (& making a ton of money doing it) & using their significant political and financial clout to globalize medical transcription under the noble-sounding rubric of Contributing to Global Commerce or some such malarkey. In the end, they have totally pulled one over on us--started out as an educational organization, more or less; exponentially grew their membership; & while no one was looking, ceased being an educational organization and became a political organization -- entirely switching their focus to the support of offshore outsourcing. Meanwhile, the MTs to whom they trafficked the CMT certification now appear to agree with their political stance simply because they are affiliated with the organization.

There are only 2 reasons I can think of for an organization to so completely betray its membership ideologically: Money & Power. Not necessarily in that order, & probably both.

Needless to say, I didn't renew my CMT certification & don't plan to ever again.
I would not wish MQ on my worst enemy! Was there for
almost 10 years and can't think of 1 nice thing to say except that I'm not there anymore. Can't help you with Webmedx, but they must be better than MQ. Best of luck to you.
PLEEEEZE: I would not wish OSI on my worst enemy

Spheris. Wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. nm

Refer to Sue's message above...
It is quite obvious you only want to bash the company and not try and better your relationship with the people there so I have nothing more to say. I am not, however, a team leader and don't intend to be. I have had a very good experience with Transcend so you will have to go elsewhere for your pity party.
Seems weird they would refer you to CS.
They are no longer accepting new grads from CS to work for them. They have done away with their Focus on the Future program and left many CS grads hanging who they had already accepted into the program. They say they will now only hire those with prior experience.


I wouldn't wish that place on my worst enemy. Tell her to run like she's running in the Olympi

I have never seen anyone so blatantly asking for someone to refer for a bonus!! You know,
the problem with your philosophy on how to get referral $ is you are SUPPOSED to know the MT, even if its rather remotely!  Your company is paying you good $$ to refer GOOD MTs, as in ones you know! They don't want random employees trolling for strangers to refer - that's not the real basis for referral bonuses.  If you love your company as much as you claim (which is fine), how could you refer a complete stranger who answered your plea on a message board? You wouldn't know 1 thing about them honestly.  You wouldn't know who, or what, you were referring to your company.  Sure, maybe they could pass testing, etc, but you know NOTHING about that referral.  I refer people to my company all the time and SKIP the referral bonus cause its not proper to refer total strangers and expect $$ back for it. 
At least he didn't refer to them as mares and

Please refer to MT's newest post above
THIS is the applicant you would prefer to hire over x?
Sheeple is good. I usually refer to them as lemmings.

Fortunately, I work for a company that does not refer to their
employees in derogatory terms, as you seem to do. I would judge, based on the above letter, that you are from from being the perfect boss. Obviously you feel you should have time to have a family and a life, but no one else is entitled to that luxury because they are beneath you.

I think you would be much happier if you packed your bags and moved to India and the Phillipines and ran your company from there using slave labor. I am certain there are enough hospitals in those countries to keep your not-so-wonderful company in business while you pay line rates that will ensure you keep the peons in their proper places.

I can now see why there are derogatory posts about your company. Ordinarily I would ignore such comments and apply if I were looking for a job, making up my mind after that point if it would be a good job for me, but your post has convinced me that I would never want to put myself in any type of relationship with you.
When people refer to offshoring, don't they mean the Phillippines as well as India?

Agree with above, not to mention all the docs' names they refer to

Beware of Helpful Posters and MTs pushy to refer
Regarding post below, it reminded me that I have been meaning to post something, but just have been so busy.  It stemmed originally from the recruiter discussions of late, and their credibility issues at times.  Even more than worrying about recruiters, please be very leary about seemingly sweet and helpful posters who reply to you on here and then send private emails about jobs they know of that can help you out.  I swear, in the years I have hung on this board, and in the days when I used to be trusting and naive, I have never once been contacted personally by anyone who was trustworthy or had my best interests at heart. I have run into the really screwy companies via these supposed helpful posts, and these are the companies who don't pay, are very dishonest and/or shady, etc.  I won't name names, but many of these helpful posters are well known, and also recruiters fot the shady companies with less than above-board business practices.  I just hate to think of the innocent new posters, truly looking for help from their fellow MTs, getting sucked in by these unscrupulous vultures.  These vultures peruse these boards 24/7, looking for vulnerable MTs to pounce upon.  By the time you realize you've been conned, its too late. If they just happen to know a job that could just happen to help you out, chances are more than good that its a skanky company - otherwise, they wouldn't be phishing here for victims. They'd have legitimate advertisements on the many MT job sites.  Also, please keep in mind that many happy employee referrals, who also happily email you privately, are simply 100% looking to make a referral fee. Their company may be a nightmare, with horrible conditions, but these vultures make up the $$ by phishing these boards and referring literal strangers to their company. Referral bonuses range from $300 up to $1000 at times, so you are nothing more than $$ to the helpful person, who is just looking to pad their paycheck, not help your situation.  I know I was conned several times over the years, or at least stuck in very uncomfortable situations, and hopefully will spare somebody going thru the same. Remember, too, if a company is that bad that they have to have MTs referring and recommending complete strangers, there is something wrong, with the MT and the company.
