    Can we communicate this company's name in
    Cryptically? Anograms?  I am due to start with a new company on Monday, hired on for a new account, etc. Same story. I will absolutely literally die if there is no work.  Support a family of five.  I am so very sorry this happened to you. Has happened to me before, company was Transcend, and years ago everyone praised them to the moon and back.  A bunch of us switched and went with them, and it was a horror story. We came back here and shared our nightmare, and so many piped up saying that the praises were all lies, recruiters posting, and I was sick.  The praise posts were not a one-day hit, they were constantly, and I was so innocent and nonsuspecting.  Took a huge financial hit, and am not in a position to take another one, but I cannot stay at the sinking Q much longer. Thanks for the scoop.
    These boards are to communicate ABOUT a company

    Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

    She is here to slander a good company just simply
    because they decided to change their mind on an MT trainer position calling the owner a liar. How sad is that. If she only knew the owner and what a good woman and professional she is.
    Is everyone in denial?
    any OBJECTIVE person who didn't want to stick their head in the sand and conclude that because Transtech was the least of the worst that they were the best MTSO to work for, by reading this whole thread can see that there are a lot of MTs who work there and who aren't happy, otherwise something as little as 2 weeks pay without working would have LITTLE impact on them, if they were happy OVERALL. Wake up and smell the coffee, the INCESSANT advertising (because of the VORACIOUS turnover) is the real TransTech, not the postings of Pollyannas (ostriches) who are in denial of reality. I used to work there, so I know.


    Sounds to me like she isn't in denial
    Just because she is making technology work for her while others refuse to do so and do nothing but complain about people in India, I think the smarter person is her.
    ITS NOT A PAYCUT...ARE YOU THAT MUCH IN DENIAL???
    Dear lord, lady, how many posts do you have to read that there is NO cut in way with VR before it sinks in?

    I'm so frustrated with you and other posters with your mindset.

    I am not management; I'm 99.9% sure none of the other VR supporters posting are mangement, either. The people at TT do not have to waste their time coming on these boards to coddle the likes of you who are hitting the panic button because *GASP* you have to learn something new.

    Not happy about it? You know where the door is.

    The rest of us will be happy to pick up the extra work.
    It was a gradual decline. Most of us were just in denial and
    believed the stories. 
    Well, Cleopatra queen of denial - ever occur to you that if someone
    this industry has gone down the toilet and there are so few companies worth even working for these days?  You're amazingly misguided, but whatever gets you through.
    Thank you for your commentary, Cleopatra Queen of Denial
    The sky may not be falling but what is falling is the bottom out of this business.

    Outta here while I still have time to get an education and move on.

    I wish you the best of luck.
    Anyone know of a company that uses a very easy platform with templates...
    and lots of fill in the blanks? I am trying to find part-time work that doesn't require a whole lot of typing because I have pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome. I still have several months of pregnancy left and I still need to work, so my only option is to find work that requires a lot less typing! I am just happy that this CTS is usually only temporary! I do wear wrist splints and take frequent breaks during my shift but this provides little relief. If you know of companies that use easy platforms with templates, fill in the blanks, cut and paste, etc - please let me know! Thanks in Advance!
    Great company other than below. Decent pay, easy

    platform, they usually don't pester you to work OT if they have it, they pay for downtime, QA very tough, strict schedule, daily QA feedback, monthly QA score.


    If you screw up be prepared to be yelled out like a 5-YO.  Work your schedule, follow account specifics, produce a quality product and you'll never hear from anyone. 


    At least they are trying to communicate --
    some people are going to complain no matter what they do or do not do -- if everyone who is so upset would leave the rest of us would have lots of work. I for one appreciate when they send us information.
    When the company line count is fair - it is easy nm
    x
    you should perhaps communicate better?? that's my guess.
    xx
    I am IC and do not use IM to communicate anymore - sm
    It was just a way to watch me and for them to treat me as employee and not IC...no more of that.
    They will post as they will communicate amongst themselves.
    In a private forum.

    As long as you have the FACTS to support your shared information, it is NOT slander and is NOT defamation or anything else.

    The key is being able to support your facts and accusations and truly be able to back it up.

    Good Luck to all.

    One is not allowed to communicate with the moderator or the...sm
    administrator through the boards, you cannot post a message yo the moderator on the board.

    You have to REPORT the message to the moderator or send a message to the moderator or administrator.

    Better to chill out.
    how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
    I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
    Great company -- good benefits, average pay, easy-to-achieve sm

    incentive tier, ExText platform, pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks, always on time.  The people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees, which is a nice plus.  I have been there since October and am very happy.  Of course, one man's paradise is another man's hell it seems at times, but it is a good fit for me.


     


    Good luck! 


    They shuffle us from one account to another, do not communicate well, pay is late, etc., so we have
    ns
    Let me get this straight: These boards are not to communicate or ask questions. Don't post if y
    because it will cause a huge thread of bashing to the point that the OP is sick to their stomach because of the ugliness.

    Don't say anything bad about any company because it will be defended by so many people and will turn so ugly that the entire thread will be pulled.

    The purpose of this forum is NOT to find out about companies, it is about seeing how nasty the next person can get.

    Do I have it straight now?
    Unfortunately this is how rumors get started. SM
    Someone posted that some company that uses ExText deducted 30% for headers/footers.  I have no idea which company does this but it is NOT TT.  They do not pay for headers/footers and will tell you this up front but there is no 30% deduction in your line count.  What you see is what you get.
    Disregard any rumors and try for yourself, sm

    They are a great match for me.  I am very happy with the account I am on, like the stability of having a primary with backups.  Pay is comparable with others.  They do pay for down-time that is their fault.  They do have incentive pay (and you can negotiate your line rate if you don't need benefits).


    They are not for everyone though, not is any company out there.  Rumors on this board in the past have been very misleading and some were just not true.  Everyone I have come in contact with has been very nice, that's why I am still with them after 5+ years and not complaining.  Steady work, your left alone to do your job, and the platform is easy to learn and can be very productive since you are on a primary account.


    If you like what you hear from the recruiter, get it in writing and give them a try.


    No one is starting rumors
    We are just trying to figure out the line count problem. Do you really think if we asked management they would tell us they are skimping on lines or how they go about doing it?


    This is how rumors get started.
    Management at TT came from another company, why would they turn around and sell? The reason they have low work is the overhiring for the new accounts, nothing other than that.
    Good luck with your interview! The best advice I was given before being hired was to communicate.
    I had a few vacations planned, had my son about to go off to college and wanted to give notice to my employer. They worked with me and were very easy to work with. I think they send out that letter to weed out those who do not want to work hard, cannot work hard for one reason or another or for those looking for specifics that they do not offer (i.e. IC status).

    Good luck!
    the rumors can be quelched by doing a search
    about their wonderful benefits program, a post which blew up in their faces. I disagree with your statement that their benefits are better than most and I base it on that post and my experience with other MTSOs.

    Yes, TH beats the pants off KS for its benefits package, its professionalism, organizational abilities, going above and beyond and more. I wholeheartedly agree with the other TH poster and can attest every word about TH was the truth.
    Heard rumors that Transcend does...
    but can't confirm it. 7 cpl for over 10 years of experience is criminal.
    Rumors don't hold water with me.

    GIVE FACTS or keep quiet. You keep trying to down TT everytime someone posts a question. I have asked you time and time again for the FACTS which you have not provided.


    You heard....i.e., you DON'T know. You  ASSUME. Why don't you go right to management and confront them and THEN AND ONLY THEN, come back to this board and post the TRUTH. Until then, stop trying to spread RUMORS!!!


    This is how rumors get started. Most KS MTs are employee status and there
    is a benefits plan, which I think is better than most.

    Too many people take what is said on the internet as Gospel, which is sad when it is not true.

    They are trying to go to employee status only unless you are incorporated with your own liability insurance.
    They absolutely do not! Please don't spread unfounded rumors like that.

    Webmedx, not rumors, true story

    Maybe you work on accounts that are not experiencing ASR yet.  All I can tell you is I have gone from around 1700 lines a day to now struggling to get 1000 and get those only because I consistently sit at my desk clicking new report to be taken to another job, and many times there are no jobs available.  I am not spreading rumors.  This is a true story of what has happened to an employee, one who has been called a most valuable employee, one who has worked diligently for 3 years for this company and has over 30 years experience.  And, yes, I have multiple accounts.  In fact, at the present time I have 20 accounts as I have called several times to request more work so my family does not suffer. 


    I am not a complainer, not looking to cause ill-will.  I am a concerned employee of a company who has not been straight foward regarding what is happening to our employment.  Of course, this may not be happening across the board in all accounts, but it certainly is in mine and if you look at the posts on this board, I am not alone.


     


    I am a good worker, reliable, accurate, with high QA, a producer and work on the most difficult accounts with lots of ESL.  Do not judge a situation which you do not know. 


    Boy you must like starting rumors. How completely ridiculous.
    x
    I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.

    I just do my work and when rumors crop up call and ask. Simple as that...
    too much panic and speculation makes for an unproductive day.
    Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)
    .
    And I was simply pointing out that saying
    you weren't a recruiter.  I didn't say you weren't a happy employee, most recruiters are, and so are employees that get referral bonuses.  In fact, I didn't even say you were a recruiter.   IMO, it could have been just as easy and more polite to say, No, I'm not a recruiter than to give the snide, condescending remark, now wouldn't it?
    Yes, I am. And simply look at the archives. nm

    I personally would take the $15 simply because
    production-based work stinks regardless of how easy and how many normals there are. Production is never going to be a salary you can count on. Go for the $15. I sure would.
    I don't think anyone has attacked you. You are simply
    nm
    I was simply posting that
    I was hassled by an MT who was fired. I could care less about your know-it-all antics. I'm over 30 and too old for your immature crap.

    LOL!!
    I was not IC, simply helping out
    my local hospital when it was swamped with work, and agreed to help, at $1 per dictated minute.  WONDERFUL $$; I could type off at least $130-$140 a day, and over 20 minutes an hour.  It really is worth it, but ask for at least $1 per dictated minute. 
    This is simply not true. nm
    There was never a time that they could not meet payroll due to not having money in the past 6 years. When they first started out it was tight, but they are a huge company and I have never had a problem. I worked in the office for a while. They have a line of credit and never have to worry about that.
    I am not a bully. I'm simply trying to tell the OP

    to do something about her situation instead of whining about it and posting on here that there is no work and looking for pity.


    There are plenty of companies hiring.  What's wrong with google?  Ever heard of that? 


    Geez - try to help someone and you're called a bully, Grinch, and told to go away. 


    So what does the OP want?  Because at this point, I'm clueless as to what she would expect with a post like that.  Almost any company on here would kill for a 3rd shift MT.


    Simply trying to follow along here.
    So what is the real concern in security here? I work with Escription and nothing is stored in my computer, download and upload each report to the company.  Most infringements are most likely occurring only by an MT who does not understand and practice confidentiality or HIPAA guidelines in this case mentioned originally.  We have been warned for years an MT can lose a job by any infraction, but this is a perfect example of that happening after the damage is done. 
    I think it's simply many people do not have
    enough money to go around and simply don't go in for medical care. At $20 a visit copay for internist, or $40 for specialist, then the prescription, many people can't afford the copays, especially if they have children.

    Our good sized hospital is slow, as are the others in town as well. People just dont want to come in and have major procedures done and end up with the copays of hundreds of dollars.

    I think people are prioritizing; feed your kids, keep a roof over their heads, or run to the ER for a case of the sniffles.
    Nothing to feel sorry about. You simply got an offer
    "too good to refuse"...Happens to me all the time whenever I interview for several positions, and they all have understood, as long as you're just honest. Sometimes the company you end up rejecting tries to match the offer of the better company. Then you realize how you needn't have felt bad - the original company would have, or could have, offered you more, too!
    Mostly, I simply ignore the "trolls"..don't need em...nm
