Can you tell us who this is or give us the initials? nm
.
can you give the initials of this co
so we can be forewarned please. Realize this does go on and don't want to work for any place that does this to MTs.
Can you give us a clue? Initials?

I think the initials of that company might have a MQ in them.
I had the same experience. Once I finally got a computer and finished training, my one contact was out of town for a week at a seminar for supervisors. I totally fell through the cracks.
Can you post initials of company you work for? I'd hate to go thru all those docs. Thx. nm

What is the company? I don't want to apply

Can I apply with your company?
Thank you for your post. It is a pleasure to know you are out there. Any chance you are hiring -- part/full time? If so, would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.
Who is this fantastic company? May want to apply.

Since you are an MTSO, all I can say is I hope I never have the misfortune to apply to your company.

If a company I apply with has VR, what sort of editing rate is fair?
Most fill-in-the-blank editing rates are around 4 cpl. What are the usual going rates for 100% straight editing VR? 
I don't think you should give a gift that makes someone feel little either...
I am sure if your husband left a $5 Walmart gift card on the table for your anniversary rather than a heartfelt card, handwritten note, or even the traditional nothing, you would feel offended, too.
KT, is there any way you could give us a hint as to who this company is
If this company has a recruiter like this pushing and pushing to do interviews and hire people and then pulls out, I do not think any of us would want to work for that company for fear of what happened to you. I truly sympathize with what happened to you. Although I do not have kids, I too need to work just to pay bills, keep a roof over my head, etc. To work for a company like this would make me hesitant about job security.
I do hope you will consider maybe telling us who this was. I also want to say that I admire the fact that you didn't bash the company or the recruiter, unlike so many people on this board do.
Not that I don't want to give you the company I work for...sm
It is Alphamed, but I wouldn't recommend it to you because I have hardly any work right now so I know they aren't hiring. If you did work there you would go broke if you didn't have a husband to back up your pay.
If your company does not give you the codes..
which I am sure they will I will be glad to assist you. I can possibly get you the codes tomorrow as I will have my daughter scan and copy it and then email it to me and I will email it to you. Most likely your company will get that to you. Good luck...
I'm already employed. I feel my company has sent

An idea of who this company is or where located would give you

I am planning to give this company Manipha
Global some test files. From there I can verify who's telling the truth. The forum readers will definitely hear a feedback from me in a week or two.
So, imagine the company that does not allow QA to give feedback, what does the MT learn then?
They learn that they've got no problems, they're not making any mistakes as they don't hear from QA, their work must be TERRIFIC.
MTs need feedback, no matter how long they've been in the profession. They don't need nasty feedback, just reminders if they are making errors to keep track of themselves. I know if I get feedback that I've done something wrong in a report it certainly makes me be more careful and I've even had to change some of my shortcuts to not make some mistakes.
What do you think your company will give you for Christmas: (Survey, I guess, LOL)

Maybe if they feel the company is unethical, they're trying to save others

How can you feel loyalty to a company that so clearly has no regard for a large portion of its MTs.
;O
Nope, I don't feel "LUCKY" to be treated like an imbicile by my company. Nope, No way.

Someone else using my initials
I'll try to make this as brief as possible. I starting doing IC transcription for a medical office with six physicians. One physician was using a company in the state that outsourced work and continued to do so. The work was uploaded via voice files, etc. I was paid to proof and print that dictation for that particular physician. Well, their work was extremely inaccurate and the OM decided to no longer use their service. She informed them of such and told them that I would be doing this particular doc's dictation from now on. I was told today by the OM that there were four final dictations from that group to print out. Upon going to the web site and downloading the four dictations, I noticed that MY initials were being used as having transcribed the dictation. They were called and asked if they had a Transcriptionist with my initials - to which they replied they didn't. THe work is horrible and I would never return dictation with so many errors and such "broken" language. I don't think I'm being paranoid in thinking this group used my initials to make it appear that such inaccurate work was my work. Were I the not the one printing the work, I probably would never have known this and the doctor would have read it, noticed my initials and stroked out thinking he had gone from worse to pathetically worse.
How would you handle this? Granted, the office isn't using them now, but I'm outraged and I think something needs to be done. Thanks.
initials
Don't let this be a problem for you. Change your initials ASAP. Change them to 3 characters (at least because that decreases the odds of identical initials), and make sure those 3 characters are WEIRD and UNIQUE, such as QPZ or XBJ, or something like that. As long as your own supervisor knows who you are and what initials you use, you do not need to worry about "fooling" anyone, as long as you use those initials consistently and do not change them around. Don't let anyone challenge you on it. Just say, "Those are my initials," and leave it at that. You do not owe anyone an explanation (other than your supervisor). Doctors could care less.
Then, if the outsourcing individuals do copy your initials, you know that somethin' funny's goin' awn .... they are, in effect, stealing your transcription identity. So, don't dwell on what to do -- just CHANGE your initials and plow forward. Good luck to you!
no, different initials- KP--- nm

ARE THEIR INITIALS - SB and GB
Since I do not wish to publish names and point a finger - I know the MTSO I work for had to fire two editors. One was caught working for two MTSOs concurrently and atleast for my employer claimed to produce the work which is humanly not possible. The second one simply did not work but turned in $3,600 paycheck request anyway. Work yes but freebee no.
Just so you know. If you use your initials NM
to post on message boards, it is the abbreviation for No Message. Meaning everything said is in the subject line. So you might miss a lot of readers by putting NM. We're all programmed to skip on by....
NM are my initials -
Oops
Initials NM
Someone posted on one of the boards that NM were their initials. She can't very well change her name.
where was this, initials only sm
We need to know enough to stay away, some of these people are plain nuts.
I use my own initials whenever I post. This seems to
be out of hand, sorry I snapped but felt like you were attacking me for asking a question. I get enough abuse at home, don't need it from strangers too !!!
and aa and jb are my full initials so no need to qa it

Someone is also using KS on this page as their initials.
:)
Is the owner's initials AM? sm
If so, her rudness ran me away
Glad they are gone! Can you tweak your initials to something else
dd
She was from Texas. May be the same person. Initials BF?

I was scammed by someone on this board with the initials K.P. `sm`
I purchased a c-phone from someone named Kristen in Oklahoma. She gave me a similar story. First she mailed it, then she lost the receipt for the post office, then her grandmother died, then her daughter had cancer and then her husband left her. I paid her $225. My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one so I lost some of the information regarding this but my old computer is now fixed and I have most of the emails that she sent me and that I sent her. I also have my copy of my priority mail slip and money order that I sent her. Besides scamming people out of money, isn't she doing something illegal because she is using the U.S. mail to do it? I was going to just let it go but now reading these posts that she is still doing it and that she is such a liar and crook, it makes me want to pursue it especially when I work my butt off for my money.
Who cares, we all have the same initials at one time or another. nm

Sorry about the NM-forget to change my initials
>>>
who pays attention to those initials anyway?
But I still know what you mean. I sometimes type things that I don't agree with. But his opinions, his take, I am just the MT.
When I was an IC, I just used my initials like this: "XXX Transcriptions, Inc"
NM means "no message," so why are you looking? 
I put the other MTs initials with min when combining reports. nm
It sort of surprises me when we get in an uproar about our initials
on a document when we think we are so right, but are not as concerned when QA fixes it when we were wrong and sent it in with our initials. I would just worry about doing the best you can and let the rest take care of itself. ((hugs))
Don't waste your time, with your experience, you don't need those initials (nm)

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.

i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Hey, no problem. I didn't post a name or initials, so you probably wouldn't have known it was

Well, if I do a co-workers report and my boss sees my initials, I'm fired.

Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."
