In Reply to: Well, goody for you !!! If I - unsure
but it kind of felt like you were implying it is my own fault to not have work right now -- The actual POINT of my original post was that if they want to force us to pick a shift then we should get work during that time and NOT have to work late or all night to get it........

I apologize if I sounded rude to you
It just gets my goat when somebody seems to show a lack of professionalism and others of us work so hard to try and be the best MT we can be, and are working very hard to support our families. The attitude of working whenever I feel like it causes companies to overhire and then the reliable MTs don't have enough work. I am truly not trying to be rude to you and I do apologize if I sound that way, but your attitude is detrimental to the other MTs and also to any company that might hire you. I am sorry, but I still would never hire somebody with that kind of a work ethic.
Let me rephrase that! -sm
The name of the company is Voice Transcription. They are located in Washington state.
Got cut off-, but maybe you should rephrase that. nm
nm
Let me rephrase that
Is there anything positive about the company? I just saw all the messages related to them and it doesn't look good.
The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
Ok, let me rephrase that: We are on OT *and* have a ton of work on my acct. nm

OOOH I should rephrase that "crap" sm
statement. When I said that I was meaning what lots of MTs think about them. you know the MTs who complain about the OPs and ESLs, etc. I don't think either are crap and like you would rather do OP notes all day long and have told the company that. I would also think I had died and gone to heaven. Lots of things you can put in your key Expanders for OP reports huh?
Should have made that clear! Sorry!
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
Let me rephrase: "The owner presents herself as an MT who understands our situations"
x
Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
Rude answer to a rude post. nm
nm
3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm
the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee. Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great. VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform. They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

Sounded great, but then saw you have to
nm
Unfortunately, no, but they sounded great!
nm
Sounded like a big whiner to me.
s
Thank you so much!! It sounded too good to be true! :)
nm
That was a bizarre post. Sounded like someone
with a vendetta. I haven't seen anything like that at Webmedx. They should go after that poster for libel. Good company.
it sounded pretty snitty to me..sm
and it was the *adding of your stats* that made it sound like you were bragging. Your post didn't sound like it was meant to help, but to criticize and brag about what you can do. That would not instill confidence in anyone who was having a question about their proofing skills. You are lucky to have accounts where you can excel. Unfortunately that is not always the case for others. Some have to struggle to make their lines and if extensive proofing to keep from making mistakes is holding back production, just a simple answer on how she could improve that would have been sufficient. Your post sounded like pouring salt on an open wound. JMO.
Thanks, I thought she sounded familiar. I was with YOG then and now with MQ. SM
It would be so nice to work with YOG people again. I really miss that place. It was sure a lot less stressful back then!
it all sounded great.......until the C-phone part.
I really don't want to get a second phone line.
Good luck to you. Sounds like it is working well for you.
Sorry that was dumb.. current and new..sounded redundant..LOL nm
knew it sounded too good to be true...nm
knew it sounded too good to be true...nm
Agree!! Sounded too good to be true.
You do not get that kind of pay and only require 1 year experience!
Really? I thought it sounded like a good line rate.
nm
Sorry to hear that. I talked with Ann a few times, and it sounded like a good company. nm
Yes I thought it sounded nice. Just hard to change but it is time. Always a little bit of anxiety
about another company and leaving what you know and sort of starting over but sometimes it is time. You know, the fat lady sang.
Oh great. I knew the whole thing sounded familiar....so, everyone is getting the runaround. You eith
Not, the I need to talk to the account managers etc. Now, I'm bummed out. I knew it was too good to be true. I wonder if there is really any work at all.
YIKES... I guess I knew it sounded to good to be true. I wonder if anyone ever gets sign-on bonuses
at any company. Maybe we should take a survey on who actually gets a sign-on bonus. How depressing is that. Now I'm bummed.
Rude, rude posters
Hope you rude posters find a good fit for you. Don't run down OSi because some of us like them. No problems either and I have 10 years experience. No newbies here like you say. Love the accounts I'm on. Hope the complainers find a good home, but if not, they will be back and on another company's case.
It is so rude to call QA rude because YOU have
been stuck on QA hold for six months!! And the other poster above - if you are getting QA notes and they are including your supervisor, which you imply is not the norm, then YOU are the one responsible. It matters not if you've been an MT for 1 week or 30 years - if your skills are not up to par, they are not up to par. Many MTs get cleared from QA hold within hours or days at most - companies do NOT want to hold you up from producing, nor do they love to waste their $ on MTs on QA hold. You really need a reality check. And no, I am not rude! It is always, always the MTs lacking in skills who get pissed at QA - no form of feedback is acceptable to that type - even sealed with a kiss and a big bow! 
Rude! Recruiter was very rude to me.
She had an attitude right off the bat.
rude
Don't tell someone "get out of the business"... who the h are u?
Weekend work should be optional....... or hire people who want to work for a premium. Forcing people breeds discontent. So there big mouth.
rude rude rude
Those of you who NEVER have a typo cast the first stone.
They were not rude to you because you
took their offer. It is funny you say they charge because they claim they do not.
You are the one being rude.. sm
Your post sounds like deja vu. I'm not the one doing the name calling. I merely stated a fact as I know it. Say what you want. Everyone here knows the truth.
Why be so rude about it?
If you don't have an answer to that question, don't bother to post a reply. It's annoying.
wow, are you rude!
I hope you don't treat your family that way!
I happen to live by myself, and all I know is, I have to be able to make enough money to pay my rent, etc, etc., and I could not make anything with KS. I have MS, and cannot work out in public because people make fun of the way I have to live. So, like I said, walk in MY shoes first before you criticize ME! I have found work again. I have been an MT for 5 years, now, and love doing it, but I need some money to live on.
rude QA
I have been a Transcriptionist for more than 20 years. I was let go from my job at the hospital because of my sons illness. I worked for Medquist but made more money 10 years ago than I did when I got fired for questioning how they calculated their lines.
I started with a company at home in 1/06. I have benefits which are very expensive but the pay is OK. Nothing like the good old page count though.
I have been on full QA for 6 months now. I think it has something to do with the editors getting paid for QA-ing us. I was constantly getting emails in BOLD basically yelling at me. I did complain about it and have treated with respect since.
I think these QA people think we are all from India and have the right to ridicule.
You are very rude - sm
I believe the poster was wanting ANY response, positive or negative, about getting the job or not. No one said they felt they GOT the job. If you take the time to test, and some of the tests are lengthy, they at least should give a response to you, especially if you have tried to contact them, as the OP had obviously done.
There is no reason to have rudeness. Read the post more carefully. You obvious misread it or wanted to misinterpret it.
rude
I did not intend to be rude. It is rather sad to see someone with bright hopes and plans based on not enough information. I have had and friends have had such snow jobs by recruiters that it is difficult to believe anyone any more. This board is populated by honest, hardworking people in a declining, sweatshop industry (I've been around 20 years) and it makes me sad.
Thanks but I'm not being rude. (sm)
There is a lot of information out there from as little as 2-3 weeks ago that he/she might not have come across without doing a search first. So, you see I'm not being rude at all, quite the opposite.
Rude.
The state boards are very inactive.
I'm sorry, I truly don't mean to be rude
And please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that this was a company board where people can (are supposed to?) post their questions about MT companies?
I am far from new to MT, but am new to this website, and I only posted my question after I had already been trying to search in the archives. Did I break protocol?
I don't mean this in a rude way, but
why does this matter? I don't get it.
RUDE. nm
nm
Now that was rude.
nm
RUDE
You are so rude to people. I am glad I do not work for you!!!!!! I feel sorry for your employees. You must be one miserable person, I pity you.
Was not trying to be rude...
And I was not just talking to you giddy pc guru. I was simply trying to say that sometimes there are reasons to which no one knows about and everyone here just automatically thinks the worst about everyone without giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Rude!
this board is nice w/o all the rudeness. why are you so testy? my gosh, if I were moderator of this board, I would ban you for being rude!
Rude QA
The one that nitpicks your work to death, i.e, Quality is more important than Quantity and gets p.....d if you do too much work while first on QA that she has to read. If she gets too much work for her liking, she'll only let you do 2-5 jobs a day. (What the heck...SHE's still getting her full-time paycheck, right?) My friend lasted about a week with her... she had her keep her IM on full-time in case of emergency (SIC) . Acct. specs are an encyclopedia... Half of the time was spent on unpair/demographic work on the accounts... lines?? what's that?? T
