supervisor, when working at a hospital, threaten to disable our short-cut program if we did not watch the errors on those.

It was all bull.

Sounds like a new Nigerian scam tactic.

Will these people stop at nothing to scam people. I am so sick of the daily emails about Mr. Buckingham this or not has inherited millions but cannot get the money himself and will pay you millions to collect the money on his behalf. What is wrong with this country. I assume these people are so desperate that they not yet figured out we are not as dumb as they are. We do have televisions here and we're onto them.


I would if somehow this person was going to get a job using your identity because otherwise he could not make money being outside of the US. If he were an US MT, aka YOU..then he could work, and have his employers wire him the money via Paypal or some other means. I would be very leary having had someone scam my identity. I'd watch your credit report too. You don't know what he may have done with this information. Scammer!!!!


I am assuming that the Bait and Switch tactic
people smell the coffee and leave. That is just IMHO. Of course, if you don't make that great sign on bonus, and you decide to stay for making about 300.00 a week is your thing, then go for it.
Boo! Did I scare ya again?


What would scare me is that they sm
have my checking account information moreso than the fact that they didn't pay me. I have often wondered when applying with these companies and they hire you how safe all that stuff is.
Don't let the comments scare you
You are right, there is plenty of work at DR, plus they pay downtime if there is no work. Have been getting quite a bit of OT lately.  Management is going through some changes, but hasn't affected me at all.  DR is not the best, but I have worked for MQ part time also (quit in November), and DR is not nearly as disorganized as MQ.  I'm sure there are better companies out there, but I'm happy at DR so far.   
LOL You scare everyone...uhmmm, whatever your
LOL
dont let that scare you
I have 2 friends that I am in daily contact with. One an MT and one in QA and their line qualifications are both different. Check what yours would be before confirming your employment. Both my friends are very happy there.
What would scare me away is the fact
that they say they are a Christian company.  I am a Christian, but I've found that any company, MT or otherwise that claims it will screw you over in a minute.  TransAm claims to be a Christian company too and we all know what crooks they are.  
you know nothing. You're trying to scare people because

Ask the moderator - is that supposed to scare me?
I stated - it was posted here about a month ago - it was an article from some publication - already said I can't remember - its not speculation - it was a long, long thread full of postings from Spheris MTs - they started the post and were all very upset. Then, like so much on this forum, all got quiet and Spheris postings have vanished. Just like Keystrokes - just like Transcend - If I had the interest or the time, I'd run a Google search on it. It certainly looked legit at the time, was a very interesting long thread. And something that MTs thinking of applying should be aware of - I was hoping that Spheris MTs could comment in follow up. In the grand scheme of things, I could care less, but am certainly glad I had the good fortune to see this info for myself. Blast away - flame away - tattle away - I'm sure all will be deleted soon anyway - typical for most company posts!
Focus Infomatics-Don't let everyone else scare you off! :)
I have been very happy with them. I have more than enough work every single day, and I have never been IM'd during a shift. I think you should make your own decision because all the previous postings on here made me reluctant to start, but I am so glad I did. Everyone has been extremly friendly and helpful. Good Luck! :)
HUGE 2nd on that one! I see errors that really scare me.

Doesn't scare me. Most of the entire MT
The ones who should be worried are the ones who've been screwing MTs for the past decade or so.
The negative posts didn't scare me...
None of them compare to what I've gone through with other companies.  The good far outweighs the bad.
Mandatory overtime's not gonna scare you away, huh? nm

Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
