Beating a dead horse
Not sure about NOW but they used to hire a lot of people M-F who had to work only 1 weekend per month. I chose to work on a weekend day because of more money but a lot of people that were hired still work M-F and rotate weekends.
Beating a dead horse here, but
If these companies came on here and started naming employees that were bad news, you all would be in a hurry to find a way to make it someone else's fault.
There must be grounds for the poster to be sued by TT or else a lawyer wouldn't have taken the case. Who wins? No one.
The poster allegedly being sued came on here to gather up a herd of followers and then closed her thread. I don't see her posting any longer, do YOU? But, you are here to defend her? For what reason? It makes no sense to me.
Whoever this person being sued in my OPINION has screwed up this board for the last few days. It is nothing but fighting and bashing! That poster is gone with the wind now, probably never to return again and we're all at each other's throats.
Can we please quit beating this horse; it's dead; deader than a doornail!
I give up, it's you beating the dead horse......nm

Cannot answer TTS posting below- beating dead horse
Very strange, never saw where you could not reply to a posting, but the ones below to TTS are just like that. First of all, baloney to all- TTS is a great place to work, been there several years now, they do not bother you and how, pray tell, think about it, can you possible work at your own home and have someone miles away KNOWING when you take a bathroom break, get a glass of water - that is unless you had been gone for a longgggggggg time. Who is trying to post and pull someone's leg? I think the board has been hijacked.
Will you kids quit beating that horse???? nm
 
Dead horse is right, Sharon
These people do not want to listen to reason, do not want reassurance, and quite frankly do want to have to expend the brain cells to LEARN. They'd rather trash the company, VR programs and MTs like us who are successful at it and make good money at it. No point wasting your time or effort.
I say let 'em go...Sounds like TTs better off without them and I'd hate to think I have co-workers of this mentality.
Have a nice dinner out...One of the beauties of working for TT (even on VR, lol) is the extra money for the nicer things in life. At least when all of these posters bail we'll have even more work and even more money to enjoy the finer things in life!
Oh changes were made alright...
but not in the interest of the MT; I can assure you!!!
Oh, I saw this coming alright
I just refuse to be ripped off and refuse to compromise patient care. You all can go ahead and try to convince yourself that you are not being ripped off and you are not compromising patient care with this nonsense. That's fine.
When the chickens come home to roost, we will see who actually smelled the coffee, won't we?
They're pretty much alright - sm
The only problem I had was the cruddy account they had me on - loaded with cherry pickers and the worst ESLs - but I don't think it was Documed's fault. For the most part they're okay. The direct deposit is great and always on time. I don't like that they don't provide you with a breakdown of your line counts and they use their own line-counting system, so you really never know if you're getting shafted or not. I've never felt that I really got shafted, though. Faye can be kind of pushy, but I think she's okay for the most part.
They're firing alright, trust me I know. nm

Yes, GP is dead serious! S/M
While MT Stars will not voluntarily give out personal information, I seriously doubt they would be inclined to defy a court order. Anyone who thinks their identity is truly annonymous might ought to think again.
It occurs to me that it is very interesting that someone(s) are attacking me as they are. Could be that someone(s) finds it objectionable that I am standing up for MTs who work under the most difficult and unfair conditions of any group since the coal miners? Undoubtedly some MTs have better working conditions than the majority. This board is only one of my sources and the allegations of MTs with 20+ years not being able to find employment, no OT pay, being forced to flex their schedule to get required lines but flexing only to the benefit of the employer, being fired or forced to quit for speaking up, etc. etc. are true in one form or another for the vast majority of MTs. That doesn't even touch the subject of people paying good money to attend MT schools and never being able to find employment. Many do find employment, the majority do not.

Seems like you are kicking a dead dog. (sm)
I assume you have contacted them yourself. Sorry, but I have no idea why they didn't give you work or why you had to pay shipping yourself. I understood the standard was they gave you a shipping label, you called Fed Ex and they picked up and delivered said package.
I assume you did deduct this as a loss from your taxes in the past?
I would! This profession is all but dead

You are dead right, my friend
That's right, it did come from an apparently specifically-created email account, so it would not have come back undeliverable. Someone was on the other end of that email account, and apparently the Yahoo Fraud Group contacted them.
Obviously the VP wanted the poster aware of the fact that her 'resignation' had been accepted. In the VPs position, I would have been mortified if an employee informed me they had NOT resigned and that was in fact not their email address. A cursory glance would have proven to the VP that this 'resignation' email came from a different (yet deceptively similar) email account.
I think this entire situation reeks and I hope the OP has all of this documentation printed off and seeks legal counsel. I remember her posting about All Type discontinuing the hourly rate and only paying the per-line rate, and although I have not searched the archives to re-read that post, I certainly do not recall her saying she was resigning because of it, nor do I recall other posted 'rants' as indicated by the 'about seeing an attorney' post. I also do not believe the OP even mentioned All Type by name in her original post about having her hourly salary cut, so I'm wondering how her alleged co-worker even knew that was an All Type employee.
Too many questions with no apparent explanations.
Grammar is dead.
I wish it were not so, because I'm with you - reading some posts almost makes my eyes bleed. I get such stuff from supervisors, from the owner of my company, from friends and it all drives me nuts! I think the advent of ''instant communication'' has killed thoughtful written expression. Don't U disagree? Nobody takes the time to proofread anymore - just bang out a message, maybe run spellcheck, and hit SEND. Nobody sees the point that there is a difference between the word then and the word than. They now are used interchangeably. Gaaag! There, their, they're; to, too - all the same, right?
bet you're dead wrong on that one!

Its going offshore because so many brain-dead MTs
admittedly don't care if the company they work for offshores. I refuse to work for any company that offshores. I am an AMERICAN and until every American has adequate work, I say, keep our work here. We are being the authors of our own demise by our I have got mine kinds of selfish attitudes.
thats 'worth' and...EACH above. sorry, dead hands. NM

Your post is so dead-on! Agree with everything you said.

Spelling police are dead on these boards now.

I'll be retired or dead by that time. Let the

They will pry my expander out of my cold dead fingers.
And THEN they'll find out what Cranky REALLY means......
If you looked closely, they were dead on the vine THEN
It was all a ruse, a facade or pretense of caring. It was in an effort to avoid an en masse uprising and, to their credit, it worked.
The ONLY thing given any thought was the amount of $ involved and how long it took to get it to the bank.
Against. Dead/dying for MT now days for sure(30+ years MTing

I can't figure out how to use the shorthand properly (brain dead I guess) (sm)
Maybe I haven't taken enough time to learn it (I can be a bit impatient with myself), but I seem to have a mental block and have about given up. I used to have Smartype with my old system (before DQS) and wonder if it worked with Vianeta. Anyway, anyone out here, what do you use other than the ShortHand that comes with it?
I do not see you on any horse either
You have a right to your opinion and I respect you for it. You said what others want to say, but do not want to be criticized for saying.
This was from the horse's mouth.
Perhaps you need to get a new horse.
Remember the packet changes are effective January 1, not today.
It's unfortunate you aren't being paid for downtime. I was paid several times for 40 hours, when my hours fell short.
I see the packet as MQs move to finally consolidate EVERYONE onto the same plan of management so this ridiculous "but my office says and it's true" stuff can stop.
The horse's mouth would be
The Administrator can only go by what she is told by the company directly or an MT has to produce proof that they offshore before she prevents them from posting on this board.
High horse
You make some good points but the vast majority of MTs don't apply to your condescending e-mail. Glad I don't work for you. You find some poor employees in any industry, and the few bad apples in the MT business are not the reason work is being sent overseas where the work is even worse quality (but done with a smile - I give you that). Whatever - I will just be glad when this post has moved on to another page.
Come down off our high horse
I used to have excellent credit too until my husband lost his job and I had surgeries 9 months apart. There are circumstances that do cause people to lose their credit.
Maybe some bad luck should hit you and then you would understand how some of us feel!!!!
Come Down Off Your High Horse!!!
It sounds like you have spent too much time at the beach listening to the waves and in the sun as your brain is fried. Who do you think you are talking to anyone this way???
I have a good job, make good money and I always have work but your attitude is just right down horrible.
Since you don't spend much time here, I think you should just probably stay totally away if this is the kind of attitude you bring when you do decide to be here.
I don't see you on a high horse...sm
I agree with you 200%
Get off your high horse already
I have researched anything and everything I have ever delved into thoroughly before jumping on it. If a newbie jumps right in without researching first, it is their own dang fault. Geez.
You are on a very high horse
Might want to come on down and sit in the horse stuff with the looser MTs....waaaah
from the horse's mouth
Per company e-mail from Transcend CEO, the merge is with Transcription Relief Services.
No? The horse is at the glue

Well, come down off that high horse
you seem to be on. Where do you get that Now Let Me Tell You Something. First of all, who are you and what does it matter. You talk like that to your kids, not to another grown person. Sissy, go back to mothering now, ok? More experienced MTs know the 3 day leave for a funeral, newbies seem not to know.
Yup - horse i out of the barn, that's for sure.
,
that horse fromthe packet and
the Qnet rules. tellher to go lookit up.
Wow 8 years and already on a high horse? you
would be a good QA person one day, NOT
Can lead a horse to water....D&L
I can understand you're still working for D&L because I too have never been one to jump on the bandwagon. It is my own mistake not to have abandoned ship on D&L back when all the signs were saying GET OUT NOW!!! I remained loyal to this company and worked my butt off for them.
In the end, what did it get me and everyone who stuck around doing what they could? Nothing except a string of financial crises, ignored calls & emails, empty promises as they dumped their financial dilemma on me and the rest of us.
D&L still owes me for work done from June-July. They haven't yet paid their original set of MTs that worked the hospital account. They lied to us for weeks and suddenly owned up to the situation with the Oh Well email filled with promises of making good on pay.
....We are told that the payment will be honored when represented our bank has delayed availability of those funds until Thursday 07/19/07. Once those funds are made available we will immediately issue checks to anyone effected by this situation. We apologize for this unfortunate event and will expedite payments once funds are made available......
Here it is September 9th already, still no check.
Sorry to say, but what makes you think they have any intention of making good on YOUR check(s)?
Seriously, it's in your own best interest to find other employment quickly and not waste another minute working for free or you too shall suffer a financial crisis that will take months to recover from.
Good luck in your job hunt.
To quote Donna directly......It is what it is
the horse has already left the barn nm

Watch that first step off the horse. NM

Oh, that's horse puckey. The reason they
offshore is because they want a higher profit margin. You think MTs should now work for minimum wage so the MTSOs can keep their earnings high? No way. The quality in India is AWFUL. You get what you pay for, and hopefully the resulting lawsuits by the patients will make it less cost-effective.
Oh, horse poop, anyone can retire
I can retire, no big deal about that. Stated the facts, she is retired and she has come here to gab. I don't think she is particularly lucky. I am the age of retirement but choose to work because I want to make double the money. Don'cha think that is smart? I also don't have to worry about working, just do because I want to.
Funny, been on my *high horse* for 20 years!

Just a matter of time before she will be off her high horse
Medware used to be a stable company. I wonder if their advertisement will now say Used to be AAMT company of the year - or Please sign up with us- we will help you be eligible for welfare - or better yet Happy MT week, your job has been phased out.
Gorgeous horse country right outside of Philly!
Google areas near New Bolton Medical Center in Pennsy. If country is up your alley, there are lots of great towns. If you like cities, then Philly is for you! Go EAGLES!! 
Get off your high horse and go work your management job...sm
This is a board for opinions, isn't it? So don't tell me to get my facts straight.
That is the biggest bunch of horse puckey ever.
I DESPISE Escription, I hate it, hate it, hate it and hate VR no matter what the so-called better platform. It does NOT take me half the time to do a report. If I can type 250 lph I can edit 350 lph AT BEST. I DESPISE Escription and all that is associated with it. Oh and yes, I WOULD LOVE to go back to the old way. And there are plenty of MTs, we all know that--it's just that the work is going elsewhere to uncivilized third-world countries and the patients have no clue their records are being so jeopardized.
