Throwing a fit about how I trusted them, believed and accepted their job offer, and now I had bills that weren't going to get paid, I had two kids to feed, and what kind of way was this to treat people.  I threatened to take this to the department of labor, write letters to their local newspapers in the Boston area. 

So, I was compensated to shut me up.  Not that they were necessarily afraid of me, I was just prepared to be a very big thorn in their side until I found satisfaction.  So it was easier for them to just send me a check.

I made $3,000 more in 7 months than I did annually with Transcend after working with them for almost 4 years.   I can't say that I'm surprised that Transcend has now gone the way of offshoring because they are the kind of company that will stoop lower than low, but I will say I'm a little surprised that everyone was so up in arms on their company board when finding out about it.  People were warned about this company over and over and over and over.  The ones who tried to warn others about it were called liars, inferior MTs, troublemakers, the list goes on.  Yet, here it is 7 months after the last exodus, which was only 6 months after the previous exodus, and the proverbial stuff is STILL hitting the fan with this company.  It was once said that time would tell if the troublemakers were telling the truth or not.  Aren't you guys at Transcend tired of being shocked yet? I'm curious to see how many left this time.

I'm sorry this happened to you, but when the first month's check didn't arrive, that would have been it.  I still enjoy transcribing (most days) but not enough to do it for free. 

Good luck to you in getting your money   That's an awful thing to happen to anyone.

starting out right out of the gate producing around 2200-2500 lines in 6 hours, best I have EVER done since leaving my local clinic and going with a huge company.  However, it seems that once the honeymoon was over, things started to change and now, on the same dictators, I barely get 1600 lines in a day.  It is a Word-based program and in the beginning I had no problems with the programs opening or typing in them and now they seem to freeze all of the time which, of course, slows my production tremendously.  I cannot figure out if it is my computer or something that they have in the program to keep you from doing over a certain amount in a day, which I am not sure why they would. 

This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now.  You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day.  Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily. 

That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING.  Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech.  Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc. 

The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us.  The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!

I have not typed out my email address due to my email making it obvious of who I am to my current employer but would really appreciate it if you could click on my email link and send some information to me also!

Thank you for your help and your willingness to share information!

and inside the email has not put a resume, just a blurb about themself (which is impressive), no phone number, and when I try to reply, the email bounces back saying that it is not a valid email.  It matches the name of the applicant, but IF you are a job applicant who has not received a response to your email, please be sure you are including the correct information.  I can tell you that the email carrier is sbgclobal.net 

I will not name any names or initials, but if you have applied at any companies and received no response, this could be the reason why.

Thanks.

from some very professional MTs telling me they were embarrassed regarding some of the responses from their fellow MTs.  Thank you.  I wanted to let you know that it is appreciated.

On another note, the recruiter calling herself Hiring Manager is not me and I want to let you know that some of what she says may be true regarding resumes, etc. as we all get those, BUT I do not agree with the way she presented herself.  I also do not agree with the fact that she is addressing the readers as honey.  That to me is rather condescending and I do not treat any of the people who apply with me in a condescending tone.  I have written them to request additional information because the newer MTs are learning.  None of us in this MT world, recruiters included are not perfect.  The whole entire field on a day-to-day basis is a learning experience.

The other recruiter says she only works 8:30 to 4:30 M-F.  Well, good for her, but I wonder if she is on the west coast.  That might work if she is a west coast recruiter, but east coast recruiters have to expand our day to accommodate those on the west coast.  I know my days go late for those who work outside their homes and live on the west coast.  They have to come home, have dinner and then they have time to do a phone interview.

The other recruiter said some true things, but I do believe she presented them as a gripe...and I guess we as recruiters have those days, but it should have been presented as a pointer if they wanted to help someone.

I personally have devised a way to do a resume that works if anyone needs any tips. Most of you who have done this long enough know. 

For the woman who has no resume, that is a requirement.  Through the years I ran into one lady without a resume and she never could seem to put one together and she was a qualified applicant, but that is something we need.  If you only had a few jobs, you would not have had to put together much.  When you apply for a job, expect to get a resume.  If you have been fortunate to have jobs come to you, that is good.  I have had that happen too so I do know the reasons why a resume would not be needed, but be prepared in case it is because it can cost you a job if you don't have one. 

About the cutesy email addresses, I am with the other recruiter on that one.  It totally can take away from a good resume.  It will not keep you from being hired, but sometimes I felt kind of silling addressing someone's email address that was one of those cutesy ones.  We have the tools in place to have email addresses, utilize them.  We do not care if you are a scout leader, mother of 4 lovely children, etc.  We care that you are an MT or QA and are a pro.  Know when to use that cutesy email address. 

OK.  I did not mean to put the other recruiter down.  I can imagine that she had a trying day yesterday receiving all of which all us recruiters receive.  It's a multiple choice out there as far as jobs and I think we all receive the same resumes. 

I just wanted to thank those who were thoughtful enough to let me know privately that they did not condone some of the unprofessional remarks made by the MTs.  The same goes for recruiters. I do not like to see an MT put down with a name like honey.  That bothered me and I noticed in more than one post by the recruiter.  It seemed sarcastic, which was entirely unnecessary even if someone had been sarcastic to her.
