You made the claim by making your headline say

Posted By: JLG is dishonest on 2006-04-02
In Reply to: Dont care if you agree - me

that is a claim and could potential be called slander. Hope you have an attorny on retainer.

you said ... I am not making any claims. ..... You made a specific claim that JLG was dishonest. I'm more inclined to believe you can't live up to the owner's standards.

    Not convinced that anyone is happy making peanuts when they made $70,000 sm
    no matter what year...........if you made $70,000 typing and now you do VR... keep telling yourself you are happy now making peanuts.
    Why should I go back to making 9 cpl when I make 11 cpl now?? I made 8 cpl over 12 years ago.
    nm
    yes you can claim all that as SE.
    x
    Yes, they do. They claim only 15%. nm
    xxx
    Could be, just like you claim to be an MT. nm
    xxxxxxx
    This claim in your post is exactly why
    It is dangerous to both the employee (MT) and the company (MTSO).

    Both were burned here by someone who apparently is completely anonymous to either or at least hiding like the loser they are.


    Yes and it was not a claim..have proof. Thanks

    How do I make a claim at the BBB? nm

    They claim to have been in biz since 1992. nm
    ,,
    They claim they do this out of necessity...
    as well as for efficiency because they can't handle all of the required work. I'm curious, though, as to what they pay the Indian MTs. If the pay is extremely low (usually 1 to 2 cpl in India), that says it's mostly for the profit margin. I still have yet to see a company that pays an Indian, Pakistani, or Philippian MT more than that or equivocal to an American MT. It's all about the profit margin.
    how much of your utilities have you been able to claim?
    My tax advisor told me I could only claim the amount of utilities that equaled my office space. For example, my office space I claim is 20% of my house, so I could only claim 20% of my utilities. Anyone else have this experience?  Anything I can do differently as an IC? I do deduct the total expense of internet and phone since I am required to have these for work... 
    Yes it is true and if you were there 2 years ago as you claim
    as well as the "not so flattering" picture of her that was in the company email newsletter at around the same time.  Nice try though.
    BBB - I think it costs $9.50 to make a claim now
    Check the BBB internet site.
    If told to do it but not claim it, that is PERMISSION, nm
    nm
    So if you have a medical claim, the insurance - sm
    doesn't pay anything until you've forked out the first $2,000? That's appalling!
    They claim it is only 15%, but it is more like 60% offshore work.
    The offshore swine get preferential treatment over the US transcriptionists. The screen shows there is work to do and suddenly everything is gone but the bad dictators, and I do not mean 10 jobs, I am talking at least 45 jobs at one time off my accounts just disappeared. I thought about changing my name to hari skrishna for a while so I could get some work, but found another job instead.
    You said they claim easy dictators..

    Are they easy with a significant amount of repetitiveness?  If there isn't...and all they do is talk then as an IC, 7 cents is not gonna pay the rent.  If the doc repeats things over and over...then you have a chance. 


    I had an ESL once who others wouldn't do.  However, once I figured him out I found that he repeated 90% of the reports so it was great.


    It also depends on platform.  If it's in MS Word with an FTP site...great.  If they use something like Emdat but don't have the demos and base information correct then your line count goes even lower.  Shop wisely....


    TO THE ABOVE POST - IF YOU CLAIM TO BE SPEAKING TRUTH - SM
    THEN GO AHEAD AND MENTION NAMES OF MANAGEMENT THAT LET THESE THINGS GO ON! WHAT DOCTORS AT WHAT HOSPITAL GOT FED UP WITH WHAT ACCOUNT AND ONLY GAVE OVERFLOW!?!?!? YOU ARE SO FULL OF CRAP! I AM A SINGLE PERSON AND I AM NOT A FAVORITE OR A CHERRYPICKER OF THE COMPANY. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME NAMES TO BACK UP YOUR "TRUTH" I SUGGEST YOU SPIT IT OUT. BECAUSE OTHER THAN THAT, YOU ARE FULL OF CRAP!
    Can you file a work comp claim
    If you are an employee, you can file a worker's compensation claim, and the company has to follow the rules of the state the insurance company would consider jurisdiction.  As a former workers' compensation claim handler, MQ is legally bound to have your claim handled wihtout any issues.  If you have issues you have the right to go to the state workers' compensation board for assistance. 
    I just find it amusing when MTs claim to assist others
    If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it.

    They claim "it is so much faster than Spheris".

    How very interesting that people who claim NOT to be management seem to know all this is going on?
    Out of the 196 e-mails they sent last month with account updates, endless pleas for help until they get new people in place, etc., there was not any real company info. I have been there 3 years and am currently looking to leave. They are hands down the rudest group of people I have ever worked with, in or out of this business. I have had MANY e-mails go unanswered, you are not allowed to IM but they send endless messages about all the work to be done while I am TRYING to work, and forget about ever reaching them on the phone should you need to. I work on numerous accounts that switch back and forth all day long. They want you to shut up and type and will contact you when THEY need something. Let me also add they have tons of ESL docs and very bad dictators in general. The only thing good is that the pay is on time.
    I thought statutory could claim those same deductions? NM

    The same way cars that claim to be "made in America"
    Some people just take a shred of truth, and spread it really really thin.  But their lies should be exposed every time someone gets a chance.
    Aren't they the ones that claim to be a good Christian
    company too?  Sounds too much like TranScam to me. 
    Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
    Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
    It's not BS as you claim. They told me they do not hire PT. I have tried 3 times in 3 months.
    I cannot work FT as I have a job at a hospital but they will not budge on saying no PT. I have read all your posts as I have been researching companies and it seems like you think you know more about KS than you do. You post something bad about every KS post but you don't give details, so I think you are BS.
    u made 300 a week? That's more than I made there.
    But no work, no pay. Nice ppl, they really are, some of the nicest in the business. Just can't communicate to save their lives and the recruiters are lying dogs.

    I'd say if you're looking for part-time work, as in less than 20 hrs a week's worth of work, then this place is for you. Use them as ur backup. Because guaranteed that's all they're using you for.


    they are making a lot of changes....
    This is the first I heard of it also and I found out by logging on and all the sudden have all new work types. When I inquired as to why this happened and was told it was part of the "MQ compliance team" (whatever!). Later on that morning, I received an email stating that the first change made was to rank the MTs by classification: Level 1 - ER/clinic notes, Level 2 - ER, Clinic, Progress notes, H&Ps, DS, Consults, Cardiac notes, PT notes (everything except radiologys and OPs), Level 3 -everything including radiology and OPs.
    how much are you making, cpl

    what are you making, cpl. ect.

    It is b/c OSi is making changes
    Positive changes...and that scares the daylights out of everyone else.  Yes, they have made a few mistakes, but who hasn't?  I am with you here.  I never had a single problem with OSi until I came to this board and then I found out just how sucky my job really is.  So, why wasn't my job bad before?  It is a pitty that I had to come here to find out that OSi employs only the worst.  I make a lot of money and I don't leave my home.  I have a wonderful AC too and I love the people that I have actually gotten to talk to on a day-to-day basis.  What more could I ask for?
    I'm currently making more than that, but have been
    looking around, testing the waters.  I ace the tests, they call 2 and 3 times offering me different things, but never enough money.   I have even been offered 7 cpl as an IC.  My point was that experience doesn't necessarily count for anything these days as no one wants to pay you for it. 
    Where are you making $120 a day, can I ask?
    That's pretty good.
    I will be making 9.5 cpl
    They offered me 9.5 cpl right off when I was hired last week for an ER account.
    making fun?
    saying - Having a laugh - is not making fun - it is a comment - not like are they kidding, could not get a coffee for that etc. They do not belong here.
    but I am sure if you are concerned the moderator can give you the information so you can apply.
    I was making ...
    17.00 a hour.
    She's making more
    than I am right now at my company and I have 15 years of experience and she has about 8 or 9. From what I have heard, it's at the top of the pay scale for most companies out there and you get paid half of your typing rate for editing which is a lot more than I make editing. All I can say is 15 years in this business, they pay very well and that is why I'm applying for a job with them.
    Are you saying you re making 0.075 MORE than before, or
    they are giving you that which is more than you made before? 0.075 more a line is hard to believe.
    I was making 16/hr when i was QA

    The ones who are making $125,000
    aren't the ones I have a beef with, it's the ones with millions in income and they pay less taxes than someone making $40,000 to $50,000.  $125,000 doesn't give anyone enough money to take advantage of the tax hedges and loop holes that go only to the wealthy, especially if they are mortgaged to the hilt.
    Please....you'd be making those
    wages no matter what. Find a profession that will pay you more and quit blaming those of us who do our job every day without complaint. You all seem to have excuses why you aren't making money. Find another job where you can sit there and work in your bathrobe, chat on the phone whenever, peruse the internet, throw some laundry in when you want, not have to pay for work clothes or gas, not have to deal with lousy weather or traffic and can be home with your children. And yet you still want to make the big bucks and get all the perks. Why not find something else that will pay you what you think you deserve? Yeah, my DH has a good job and pays the bills....sorry if that offends you. I do this job because I love it, not to become rich from it. Be thankful that you have a job during these lean economic times. Don't blame me because you have no ambition, drive, incentive or guts to do something else with your life.
    Are you making more than 5 cpl? (nm)
    nm
    You were only making up to 2 cpl??
    My VR pay is 4 cents a line and 8 cents for straight. I do not use Dictaphone there, there are other systems besides just that. I have no drama, monitoring software? Know nothing about that. I love it personally.
    She said that making up 2 cpl could be
    time consuming.  She didn't say she was making up to 2 cpl.  lol
    I'm not that bad yet but I was making
    more than my daughter-in-law who is a nurses' aide and works at the county hospital, but now she's making more than I am, and her health insurance is only $100 a month for a family plus she gets a raise every year.
    Then they are not making much of
    I make 10 cpl, and if my company is charging 16 or even 18 cpl I don't see how they could stay in business. The bonus structure benefits them because the more productive MTs are, the fewer people they have overhead for, but still...
    Are you making more/less/same now as
    you were 7 years ago at MQ? My pay has decreased due to the changes.
    I think they are GREAT! Making better $$ now than ever!
    nm
    Have you been making less than $16/hr for 11 years?
    I hope not.  If so, poor you after 11 years!  If not, you better get ready for the pay cut.
    HOW MUCH DID YOU MAKE AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU MAKING NOW?
    I am thinking about making the switch!
