No, not how many rotten companies -- how many rotten ATTITUDES are on here!
Don't be so gullable.

so-o-o-o-o sorry. Rotten way to do it too.
Know what I would do, copy/paste (maybe revise a bit, but not much) you post here and email them. Tell them you cost me another job by the way you handled my question. YES. Only fair, they should know, not a way to do things and it WILL make you feel a bit beter too. It is not good to hold things in. Speak up. You CAN be very tactful but still get the point across.

Yes, thanks for the heads up, I will not go there for sure.
rotten attitudes
Who wouldn't have a bad attitude with the way some of these companies think THEY own their MTs. Thank God I got rid of the rotten companies out there and believe me there are several. Make you promises and never come through. I will never ever let another company OWN me. Something is stinky out there!
Rotten docs

Dear Doctor:


While I have a great deal of respect for what you do, you aggravate me.


Please, when you are addressing a letter be courteous enough to include the CITY and the STATE, and if you spell something don't spell ROAD for me, because, trust me, I learned how to spell road in the second grade!


Don't make me search for 15 minutes to find something your lazy ### could have read off the chart, because I only made 14 cents to type that letter, and my time and skill is worth more than 60 cents an hour. 


And while I am venting, how about you say pheochromatoma, instead of feo, if that is what you mean.  Don't be so lazy my job is 100 times harder.


Because they are rotten to the core. nm

Pay is less and less, declining 3 rotten cents/line for VR (sm)
If you have been offered a job for 3 cents for editing, I hope you decline.  We need to have these rates raised.  It's getting lower and lower. 
I meant OSi is rotten to the core, not 'us.' My bad! nm

Not for one payroll period. No company is that rotten and

Same thing--something is rotten in the state of Focus
I took the test too.  I used to work for Focus a couple of years ago and I've been transcribing for 20 years.  I have never failed a MT test and I was surprised when I failed and got the same email.  I spent a lot of time on that test and I know I know I did good.  If I was okay to work for them a couple of years ago, then why are they playing games with this testing?     
Rotten t o the core! And if you copied/pasted
then there are many more errors than you pointed out (if you did not copy/paste I am not bashing/correcting you, as I know this is just a forum, not a job, and also the anger factor plays into it)
It's amazing to read this board and see how many rotten MT companies there are out there!
What the heck happened to this business!
It's amazing to read this board and see how many rotten MT companies there are out there!
Only if you believe what you read on this web site. Personally, I would not put one ounce of thought into what someone anonymously writes.
I guess if I got screwed out of my paycheck or got lied to by an employer I'd have a rotten att
This board is a great way to find out about an unsavory company before those things happen to you. If you think warning people about scheisters, liars, bottom feeders, and rip-off artists is amusing, time to double up on your meds, sweetheart.
To th e core, rotten - I agree! Got same offer for editing, fergeddit!! nm

They have called me twice and I have not yet called them back
Per your recommendation, I just might. Thank you.
I called and called and e-mailed my STM. When that got no

results I went over her head.  Got another account, but with 3 accounts still not enough work to get in more than 20 hours/week.  I worked a shift that was part 2nd/part 3rd.  Some days OT was offered, but then there wouldn't be work the next day. 


No one called you a joke, just called the post a joke because
we all know better, but you're entitled to your opinion.  You're the one insulting saying those of us who don't like SS probably couldn't cut it and that is the reason for our complaints.   You would be hard pressed to find anyone who ever worked for SS to agree with you about how wonderful they are.   They aren't getting new accounts, yet they always have an ad running - umm, let me think why that is. 
When I was called ...
I called Corporate back. I asked why were getting a call to verify we had received the letter. I was told that they wanted to verify the correct addresses for every employee, making sure each had received the letter, because our packets will be mailed out on 9/30 and are individualized as far as our base rates.

Personally, I would imagine that they have reviewed years of experience of MTs as well as the difficulty of accounts, as they have already stated, and come out with a tiered level of base rates -- the more experience you have the higher your rate as well as the more difficult the account you work on, the higher the pay...pay commensurate with experience and difficulty of work.
I bet if you called them they

would tell you.


 


They just called me AGAIN!!!
OMG! I am going insane! I just got yet ANOTHER call from a different person at SPI saying that she got a call from the hospital that I used to transcribe for saying that they had all these stat reports that were way out of TAT and no one at all on that account was working! Go figure! We all quit!!!! I don't know how much more I can take of these calls. I told her that I had better not receive anymore of these calls as I have made it more than clear that I don't work there anymore and haven't in 5 months!!! UGH!!!
Yes, it was a little different for me at first, too, but I called
Wendy and she explained it to me. Pretty simple now. Give her a call. She is always extremely helpful. Good luck.
Have you called them? They are more than
a little disorganized lately, but a phone call seems to take care of the problem. 
Someone called me...
The female I spoke with asked if I could produce 1300 lines/day (I said yes). She asked about my computer system (it met the required specs). She asked if I had an updated Cardiology book (I said yes). She said someone would call me soon--that was last month.
some guy called....
and he expected me to start right then and there-no paper work, contract, nothing. What made it worse, in the middle of him explaining the system and wanting me to start then, he kept telling me to hold on because he kept getting calls. He finally said he would call me right back (in the middle of me learning the system). I never answered his call.
called
Jim also called me for radiology hire. Anyone out there ever work for them? So many out there that just are not worth the aggravation
Called them...
I called Silentype today, as is my practice when I am job hunting to call and see how their office is run etc. I asked for HR/Recruiting and was told No I'm sorry, not today... and they hung up. What a bunch of idiots, what if I were an MD calling for some reason to speak with HR about a specific MT? SKip them :)
It's also called
supply and demand. There are so many MTs out of work and looking right now that they don't need to pay top dollar, even to the cream of the crop. There are too many MTs to choose from.
They called me...
I think thats what the meeting was going to be about too
I called my supervisor...
I really struggled with the decision to quit. I liked the company (a national) and accounts, but I could no longer handle the 20-hour minimum for PT as I already work a FT job and it just became too much. She was very nice about it and understood. She is a good supervisor and I felt I owed her that much. I did give a 2 week notice.
There is a company called
in Texas that I would strongly recommend staying away from. I worked for this company for a little over a month but the platform made it way to hard to get any reports in. The pay was good but without reports, no $$$. Anyway, when speaking with these people I was told that they would pay for the return of the equipment if the position did not work out. When I decided to leave, I called and was instructed on how to return the equipment (foot pedal). Once doing this, I received a bill from Fed-Ex as now they are not going to pay for it. When I talked to them in June, I was told to fax them the bill and they would take care of it. Today, I received another bill from Fed-Ex. I'm going to pay this bill but I just wanted to let you all know how shady this company is.

When they are trying to suck you in they act all "Christian like" but when things don't work out the horns come out. Be careful!
Called her again today ...
asked about start date, schedule, etc. and told her I'd call her back tomorrow. Will probably be accepting with them, starting on 11/28. You know how it sounds too good to be true? I sure hope it's not.
called big bucks usually do not....sm
SIT on forum boards 24/7/365...........*lolol*

Spheris called but...

They haven't gotten back in touch with me.  Should I wait or call them back?  The lady who interviewed me told me that she would have someone get in touch with me.  That was a week ago now.  


I am not going to wait around for a phone call though.  I have been putting in other applications, but I really wanted to work with them.


Called out of the blue...sm

Have you ever been called out of the blue by a company which you did NOT submit an ap or resume to be offered a job?  Happened to me last night and I was a bit shocked.  It was what you would call a cold call, I guess.  Seemed odd...has anyone had a similar experience?


RE: Called out of the blue...........
If it was from Spheris, RUN LIKE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL and don't look back!!!
Well you called her a liar. We have a lot of new MTs
who appear to be happy. When you call someone a liar, you should be prepared to back up that claim. I am sorry they changed their mind on the trainer position. Perhaps they put it on hold. At least they told you that they decided not to hire anyone. Some companies leave you hanging.
Sorry, no one ever called back
nm
I was called and one of the first things they said was..
do you read the message boards and do you have any questions about what was said about our company??!! At that point i had not, but since i have browsed and looks like they are not a very well liked company?? I would like to verify this as well.
Yep, one called today. sm
I asked a company, who I previously worked with, for a letter of reference, and she asked me if I could work for her again. Still waiting for counteroffer as I said yes with certain conditions.

A few years ago, I went in with a brochure to one of my previous clients, and they asked me to work with them again. With that one, I wish I had not gone back. We parted company this time, but not on friendly grounds. He has a nasty temperament.


My AC and TL have also called me many times not just ops
Like I said one AC is real bad about it, maybe you don't have the same one.
It's called a bindi.
What Indian women wear on their heads.
LOL they called and reported me
to the ASPCA for trying to feed them a lesser brand...

Did you know dogs LOVE love love cat food?


They are just called holidays, but
There are companies out that call them holidays and PAY MT's for them when off -- TRUE HOLIDAYS.  Unfortunately, Transtech is not one of those companies that DO PAY for a holiday UNLESS you work that holiday.  Otherwise, you use your accrued PTO hours to be off ANY of the holidays.  Not good !!!
Has anyone used a service called
Transcription Matchmaker? Seems like a good idea but don't have time to waste my time right now. Thanks.
Called Webmedx
I too called Webmedx and they confirmed that they are hiring for the account to start in a few weeks.  QT has never told us the truth about anything, from the Indian outsourcing, to being low on work, and are still lying instead of at least coming forth so we knew to look for jobs.  I hope they lose it all, they are a dirty all their own that is for sure.
I just called Transcend.
They have no affiliation whatsoever with a company called JAX Transcription and have no knowledge of this company.
Recruiter called while I was out (sm)
I guess I need to be more patient!
That's called doing business. sm

If you open a business without using your real name, you should file for a fictious name and go as far as trademarking that name. Otherwise, anybody can take that name for their own and it could cause a real mess. That person could have been in business LONGER than the date stated in the file. I used a fictitious company name for 7 years before I filed, but all the time watching to make sure no one jumped on it.


So, what you're saying is that you would not apply to any company that has a fictitious name? I.e., OSi, Medquist, Keystrokes, TransTech, or any other company like that?


 


Have you called them? I don't work for them now, but
had this issue regularly.  Their communication is horrible, but supposedly there were issues with the client's system being down and unable to transmit work - at least that is the story I got. 
If they called me, I'd think about. Pasture(s) were not
