Actually, I worked  for MDI-MD in between the Q and where I am now.  I liked it a lot but I got into such debt by staying with MQ for much longer than I should have, and after several weeks I realized I wasn't going to make enough to pay my taxes AND pay for my own benefits at MDI.  They are a great company but I took another job to be employee status again with benefits. My biggest mistake was not leaving MQ sooner but I kept thinking things were going to get better.

I also am very happy with my employment at OSi.  I think it is a great company, one that listens to the needs of their employees and does their best to accomodate.  It is pitiful to read how so many bash OSi and other companies on this board and you don't even work for them.  If you have in the past and have found employment elsewhere, move on and knock off the infernal complaints.  If you are employed with the company you are complaining about, then find a new job.  We don't need or want your constant bantering.  And if you are still employed here, that tells us you obviously aren't good enough to get a job elsewhere.

about the taxes and sure can't blame you there.

I hope you can reconnect and get the job with him, though.  If more docs start to realize what's happening and leave the companies that do the outsourcing, that will send a huge message to these companies.  Might also force them to treat their American employees better.

In the age of terrorism, I don't see how it CAN'T be a security issue to outsource medical transcription, especially to middle eastern countries.  Think about it.  Besides access to the obvious personal demographics of the patient, they also know which medications the patient is taking.  With the way elderly people order medications from Canada, I can just imagine an elderly person getting an ad in the mail for the medication they're on at less than half the price, order it and wind up dead.  It seems that large groups of Americans could be targeted and harmed based simply on their medical information.  (Maybe my imagination is running wild, but I never could have imagined that anyone would think to use a plane as a missile to kill a large group of people, either.) 

After reading your post I'm sure we do! 

do that.. I just hate to go through resumes, interviews, testing and the whole starting a new company hassle only to find out that they pay decent but you can't make any money because the platform is a hassle, they fed me a bunch of lies and the company is terrible..or you have to kill yourself to get a decent line count, so the rate doesn't matter. On a decent, normal platform where the lines are counted in an acceptable way, I know I should average 250-300 lph without killing myself.. if i can't do that, I'd rather not bother.  I've heard a lot of good things about Keystrokes and have considered going there, but not sure what they pay.  Right now, I'm leaning towards SmartMed..but not sure of their line counts, and I've heard good and bad about Transtech and Webmedx.. and a few others..I'm just sick of company hopping and BS.

I have worked for them for over 3 yrs.  A lot of what goes on is down to the team manager.  I had a great one, now I have one whose fingers I'd like to break!  She is NOT an MT and about as bright a no-moon night. She is always getting into my software (not allowed) and changing my settings by logging in as me (a BIG no no).  It doesn't matter what she does, her behind is made of Teflon and nothing sticks...yet. 

On the other hand, there is a wonderful team leader I work for sometimes.  She is knowledgeable, friendly, fair and deals ya straight. 

It is, overall, a nice company, or at least it was when I went to work there.  They need to let most of their account managers go and hire people who will actually work and who are actually MTs.  It is sad when the powers that be ruin a perfectly good MT company.  ');>
