DTSOK, SO RUDE - Alice


Posted: Mar 20, 2012

I responded to DTSOK's job posting on another board 2 weeks ago.  Within a couple hours, I received an email from their recruiter, indicating that I should take the test that day, as they were planning to talk to people that week.  I did this.  A day later, I received an email from the transcription manager, indicating that I had passed the test, and asking if I was still interested, and asking me to respond to her with the best time for her to call me.  I did this.  Since then, I have not heard a peep from them.  I wrote again last week, asking if she was still planning to call, and she did not have the courtesy to respond at all.  In the past 2 weeks, I have only left the house once, and according to my Caller ID, no one called while I was away.  I have call waiting.  So, I conclude that she did not call.  How rude!

I've always believed that the best a company will ever treat you is during the recruitment process.  If the recruitment is conducted in a thoughtless and rude manner, the rest of the experience will generally go badly.

It seems that some MTSOs think that MTs are so desperate that we will allow them to treat us anyway they want.  Well, I'm one that won't stand for it.

Just thought I'd share my experience with DTSOK of Oklahoma, just in case it may help others down the road to decide whether or not to take the time to test, should another ad show up.

Also, there has to be a better way to earn minimum wage working from home using my computer. We don't have to allow others to use us, abuse us, and then toss us away when they are done.

Thanks,

I've dealt with a few MTSOs and recruiters who were - sm

flat-out nasty to deal with. I'm always thankful when they show their colors before I sign on because I'm not going to be treated like a dog... Where is the professionalism?!

yes, be thankful you are seeing it now and - instead of after you got started

Same thing happened to me with them. - landroverlady

I could have written your post as the same exact thing happened to me. I even did what you did with sending an email to them just to make sure they got my first one and have heard nothing. It is hurtful to get our hopes up and then not even just simply tell us they already filled the positions, etc. Very rude.

It is so frustrating to have a recruiter seem - MT47

interested in "speaking with you" or "would like to offer you the job" only to never call back or respond to your E-mail. When you do get in contact with them by E-mail or by phone, they have already "filled the position."

If you have no intentions in hiring me, don't waste my time.
Thank you - Alice

It helps me feel a little better to know that it wasn't just me.
I think we have all experienced this. - Anon

Nasty recruiters, MTSOs that offer a job and then you never here from them again, applying and testing for MTSOs and never geting a reply back. Or better yet you test, interview and then find out they only are paying 6 cents a line!

It is a vicious circle and very frustrating. I sometimes wonder, "I am doing this, why?"

I had a worse experience with same. I worked there for 3 months. I was put on a terrible account which I won't go into and never had any help whatsoever and no one to contact for any questions. The only feedback I got back was the worse QA review I have ever received. There was no way I would ever get a line count of 1200 per day with this company or any benefits. The hiring process was ridiculous too. For some reason, they don't like to contact you - for anything! I finally gave up and quit. Now looking again.

Thanks for the warning! I was almost going to apply - with them! Now I most certainly wont.

This company expects the impossible out of their workers while accepting horrible quality audio. First, you have a recruiter calling and praising your qualifications (not to mention taking a 5 part transcription test) and then when you decide to accept their job offer, they put you on an okay audio quality account, but then the 2nd week rolls around,( you are in a different account) and you find yourself replaying the audio and struggling to understand in the midst of static and other ...

Rude QA
Sep 13, 2010

Have to say, have been with this company for over 2 years and have always found QA helpful and informative.  Today; however, I ran into my first "smart %&^%".  I am sure they have a lot of work and attitudes to deal with, but....  I am sure sarcastic remarks will come back to bit this person in the butt at some point.  Their function is to assist the MTs in making an accurate report for the customers, pointers and assistance are great.  Ridicule,  not so much.&n ...


Rude QAs

I have encountered my first rude QA at this company (Transcend).  My audit scores last week were 100%.  The week before that 99% and 100%.  They have never been below 98% but are usually around 99%.  Starting receiving a new worktype and I sent some reports to QA because I didn't know what the heck the doc was saying.  The SR didn't even pick him up because he is difficult to understand.  Besides the fact, I hadn't transcribed his reports but a few ti ...


My CCM Is So RUDE. This Is
Apr 11, 2012

apparently the first time she's ever had any power & she doesn't know how to professionally handle it.  I've been a supervisor before.  This is not how you treat employees.  We are all adults, in this together, working as a team.  We're not children to be talked down to.  Asking nicely for something works a lot better than threats & rudeness.  I would love to transfer to a more professional, less nasty CCM.  The one I had before was ...

Why has everyone gotten so rude.  You apply for jobs and you can sense the "Tude" through the E-mails - if they are kind enough to send you one!  35+ years experience and they act like you are just off the boat to Transcription Land.    Counting the days until I can retire.  Love the websites that say you can make $60 K a year too - now that is really rude! ...


RUDE RECEPTIONIST
Jul 30, 2010

I have been seeing my PA every three months right after my cardiologist for congestive heart failure.  He prescribes my meds and communicates with my cardiologist during my checkup.  He's a pretty nice guy who really cares about his patients, and his nurses are awesome.  However, his receptionist is rude and unprofessiional. She answers the phone with an attitude, like she hates being there, and seems like she takes it out on the patients. She's only in her early 20 ...


Rude Employers

Are the rest of you as disgusted as I am with not hearing back after sending an application?  Are all these ads for work just made up to look like there are jobs when in reality the ads are fakes?  I hear from so many other MTs/editors that they apply for jobs but never hear back, even after receiving permisson to do testing.  Maybe we should all stop applying and let them sit and spin! ...
