NO work again at KS - ongoing issue. - KS e-mails and surveys

Posted: Oct 14, 2011

are full of lies. They try to smooze over what is really happening and keep everyone misinformed. Pay stinks, benefits stink, communication stinks, overall a STINKY COMPANY.

KS claims to help MTs in need of more work (but not at the expense of KS's coffers) and that is simply a lie. Acute care seems to be the new "golden child" of KS. Rake in the money while you can acute care MT's, that will soon be over staffed as well.

Continually pressing the refresh button gets old - and boring.

I have plenty of work - Ortho KS MT

[ In Reply To ..]
My ortho accounts have plenty of work. Maybe it's just you have limited yourself in your specialty?

I would think if I was so miserable as you sound, I would really try and find somewhere different to work. It's not worth living with such negativity and hated in one's life. It could really have an affect on you.

Oh here we go again- still choose to do nothing to help yourself? - TiredMT

I see you've decided to continue to bash your company on an internet board instead of contacting them directly to try and really do something that would help your situation.

Such a professional you are! No wonder you don't have work, maybe they are trying to tell you something.

BTW, my CPL rate is great!!! KS has great pay compared to the 4 other companies I had offers from when I took this job 7 months ago!!! Maybe it's because I don't do just 1 specialty?? Maybe you should look into broadening your MT skills and you could make more $$$ and have more work?? Then you could be the " golden child".

curious - how is it you know she has not contacted them directly? - and please stop name-calling.

XOXOXOX your way.

TiredMT--I believe freedom of speech applies to other MTs also. Your comments are way off. - anon

Good thing KS is a shoe that fits you. The other posters are absolutely right on. Maybe they wear a different shoe. Don't judge others until YOU walk in their shoes. KS has a looooong reputation of being deceptive. Good that you are great and tired. Don't assume. There are plenty of workers who know all worktypes but when KS has a plan and you don't fit in it, they lie. So continue with your big $$$ and think you have all the answers and hopefully things will not go sour for you.

7 months? Obviously you have not been burned yet!! - Ever hear of honesty and freedom of speech!

Enjoy your income while you can.

Acute care is not new at KS. - Rad is different

[ In Reply To ..]
The tight TAT of rad reports requires every company to have a lot more MTs on than necessary for patient care reasons. It has to be done in the TAT.

Another MT has seen the light with KS. Good for you, you are not alone. - anon

Many lies for many years. Many of us have traveled this same road. Don't feel alone and don't let anyone put you down or make you feel it was you...it is not. Cut throat business and lies. Been going on for many years.

the account I am on they are crying for help..sm - KSer

[ In Reply To ..]
Why not ask to work another account, if you are really wanting to stay at KS, ask a higher up to train on another account. I don't see why if they are needing help on the account I am on, why they wouldn't welcome some help.

they probably want their cake and eat it too - I bet their schedule is M-F DAYS

[ In Reply To ..]
I bet a lot of the complainers want the traditional schedule of M-F days!! Well if this is the case, then you deserve NO WORK. In this business, you have to work when the WORK IS THERE.

How about it BASHERS that have NO WORK, what is your schedules?

What is your schedule? - nm

Here's what I don't get - disliketrolls

[ In Reply To ..]
The MTSOs who employ us know what schedules are filled and when they need to hire for whatever shifts (or they should, duh), so, IMO, there shouldn't be over-hiring for Mon-Fri or any other days w/ the exception of when work slows down unexpectedly. I've wk'd weekends and been Mon-Fri at diff times and pretty flexible w/ day sched. I just can't see why if said MT had been hired in/already wk'ing Mon-Fri and MTSO hired extras on that sched that it should be held against the MT who already had that sched.

I've never worked at a place that lets me pick - capitalizingmeansNOTHING

[ In Reply To ..]
my own hours. Does Keystrokes let you chose your shift? Maybe some Keystroke MT can clarify that or is the capital lover just trying to blame the MTs for Keystroke's overstaffing?

Yes, they do let you pick your shift within reason. - rightnowhiringforevenings

I have always seen then cooperate with the MTs about their schedules. With life changes, sometimes you have to accommodate. Family is more important.

It depends what account you are on, a lot of flex accounts as long as you meet TAT - KSMT

[ In Reply To ..]
yes, a lot of accounts you can pick YOUR schedule. See, there's a lot others don't know about the flexibility of KS, huh? Nobody talks about that, huh?

I suggest that you - take a

Here we goooooo! Yesterday another meeting with the HIM manager and CEO quality at our hospital who has recently signed a contract to outsource MTs to M*Modal. Well, my only interest in the meeting was to find out from HR my options regarding severance, unemployment, etc. Clearly the managers in attendance are in the honeymoon phase with M*Modal and even had the gall to say she went to a site (forgive me for not remembering) and found M*Modal had 3.8 employee satisfaction with ...

typing job, my line count shoots up, and then, the longer I do ASR, the count progressively drops lower and lower. Very aggravating to have to do this horrible ASR we are given. Too many corrections! Too much time to format! Feeling so poor (money) and aggravated, but I start paralegal training next week! Only need this job 11 months (or maybe less as some people find jobs before they finish training!) ...
