Also SE here.  I know, I used to hate when I was scheduled to work and there were very few reports, especially at the end of the payperiod.  I work overnights, so to adjust my sleep, get up and voila, no work or someone else is doing it ripped (on the old Dictaphone system.

It used to be, many moons and managers ago, that MT's were told in no uncertain terms that they were not to just jump on and steal others income. They were told to call the CSC before working any extra.  If they persisted in doing so, they would either be disconnected, or to really nip the chronic hoggers, they would just not pay them for the lines they made when they were not supposed to be on the system and had not called in for approval.

Now, with DQS, MQ just does not care who does the work as long as it just gets done.  The bottom line is TAT and $$$, it comes from management all the way up and when they call you, an SE to help out, why should we not do so?

Maybe I'm going to get flamed here, but I still do call in to see if they need any help (or they're calling me) and if I get the go ahead, then I will work. 

I agree, it's not fair to blame all SE's for the lack of work... I'm sure their are plenty of employees that work extra.  Correct me if I'm wrong on that but again, blame management. 

I know the feast or famine on whose working when.  I do the majority of my work on weekends, and I know just how bad TAT gets the first weekend of each payperiod and I feel pressured to work harder.

Again, don't mean any flames here, just stating my thoughts. 

Anyone ever hear of this company?  I am considering and any information appreciated

Thanks

Any Axolotl employees out there??  Are you happy? 

I am considering accepting an offer from them.  It seems they have a lot to offer.   I am currently with Medware and very, very unhappy with them lately. 

Any advice appreciated.

The company is fully aware of what it means.  If you go to the website, you will see. 

When I hired on, they actually sent me a salamander on a keyring!!  Their name is different because they, as a company, are different than any other!! 

I have transcribed now for 14 years and trust me, I have never had a better employer. 

Their benefits are awesome, their pay is more than competitive and I cannot think of one thing negative about them. 

MT25, I've also heard good things about this company.  Could you tell me what Lotus Notes are?  I am thinking about applying with them.  How would you rate the majority of accounts?  Hard to make lines with difficult dictators?  Do you transcribe for several docs or just a select few?  Thanks!

Axolotl expects quality and reliable MTs.  Due to the fact, they do not overstaff, it is IMPERATIVE, everyone be there for their scheduled shifts.  They provide OUTSTANDING and affordable benefits, as well as more than competitive pay. 

If you meet the above standards as an MT, then you should apply.  If you don't meet these standards, then you need to find a company who doesn't expect you to produce quality documents and to show up for your shift. 

I have been an MT for 13 years.  Axolotl is better than any company I have ever researched or any employer I have worked for.

If you are looking for former employees who did not meet the above standards, I am sure you can find them.

Does anyone know if Axolotl is hiring?  Everything I'm hearing about them sound really good.  My only concern is that someone posted they only have about 75 employees (kinda small), and if they hire more MTs, the workflow may be low...hmmm.

I wanted to thank you for all the information.  I am seriously considering applying.  So far, this one appeals the most to me.  I am still trying to decide if I want to make the move; this is something I take very seriously.  It has just been so difficult to make the money at MQ with all the changes; it almost seems intentional on their part to make it more difficult for the MTs so that they don't have to pay out these quarterly bonuses.  I could see having 3 or 4 accounts....that would be ideal, but 13 unfamiliar accounts with specifics to learn for each.....this, I find to be outrageous!!!  With all of this going on, they are driving their MTs (even the veteran MTs) right out the door!  BIG MISTAKE.

Did you send your resume in and they called you...is that what your saying??

I have never worked for Transcend but I have worked for Axolotl now for 2 years.  They are a great company with a good line rate, great benefits and a very user-friendly platform.  In my opinion, you cannot go wrong working for Axolotl!!!

It's just what I'm looking for.  Heard a lot of great things about it.  Nice people, etc. Lots of positives!!!!  Sounds like a place to call home.
