I received one also, and in now way will I sign the darn thing either.
I do believe they are worried about the line counting method and "conversion methods" they use to calculate your line count. For now, it is "hearsay", (don't know if I spelled that right), but may come to fruition in the future with proof and hard evidence.
That is all I know right now!
Not to mention managers playing on the darn thing

Do you get paid for those meetings? Or are you
x
I would call them. We had meetings all week and sm
the recruiter was saying that she is caught up and pleased with the way things are going. Perhaps you missed a call or email or they called the wrong number. I would definitely call as Terri is really on top of things!
They had "town hall" meetings today
Just to take questions about any concerns from people, etc. They spun the reasoning behind the new rules for holiday pay. Said OSi was growing. A lot of what I heard seemed a bit condescending, that they needed the MTs to be on there and working instead of everyone always wanting off and taking advantage of holiday pay, etc. Also several questions asked I felt were not directly answered but just kind of stepped around or given a we'll have to check into that. Not very informative. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
Employees must attend manditory meetings. ICs

Age has nothing to do with technical ability.
or lack of technical ability.
Ability to dream
Haven't lost it yet but getting really close :)
Their lack of ability to think outside the box & actually
No company appreciates your ability to
makes lots of money by high production. What they do appreciate is knowing they have a high producer and moving that MT wherever they have the need. I thought I was the cat's meow being able to transcribe an average of 2000 quality lines per shift. Yeah, right. Three companies later and it is painfully clear that the only concern the companies have is what I can do for them. If I lose sleep, suffer financial loss, etc., it's my problem. And before you wonder, 2 of these including the current are highly-rated companies on this site. This is what the last 23 years of dedication to this profession has earned me. It is possible to be too good and too fast. The only lesson learned is use them as they use you.
You are stating $15 - I assume you are arriving at this figure because they quoted a reduction in line rate or something else specific? Do you have an IC contract? I can't advise what you should do, but I'll tell you what I'm about to do. I am so sick, broke and distressed over this treatment that I'm going to simply stop the loyalty and divide and conquer. I am going to use my speed to juggle multiple jobs (I have before). If the company goal is to get more for less, they will find they get less for less from me. I read a recent post where an MTSO was discussing how distressed he/she was because the quality of MTs was so poor overall. To that I say there are awesome MTs out here who really need consistent work and fair treatment and who will bend over backwards to do a great job for your company. Say what you mean, keep your promises, and stop treating us like pieces of meat to be graded on a production scale.
As for that wine, I'd like to toast you even though it's 10 a.m. EST - you are not alone!
Ability to survive - the BIG issue too is sm
the line rate, the line production requirement not JUST whether there is work at night, which shift etc. It is the LINE RATE OFFERED. Does not matter if you even have plenty of work on whatever shift if it pays pennies a line.
1000 lines a day, 125 lines an hour, say 4 cents that is $40 bucks a day,
5 cents a line $50 bucks a day ($6.25 an hour)
They are going to require much more, if not, get a letter, plus lose insurance.
They will want more like 2250 lines a day at 4 cents a line, at $90 a day x 5 days equal $450 a week ($900 per pay period)
THAT IS 281.25 LINES AN HOUR PEOPLE
I cannot image that on Beyond TXT platform (or any other). I'm WORTH much more.
Agree to point, but people need samples and also ability

Looking for more opinions on Voice SYstems in Georgia. Anyone know about ability to make a living
here etc. Have already been told disorganized but would like more info.
I know who it is!!! And I can't say it, darn it!!!!
Thanks!!...Darn.. nm
Darn! I'm sorry.
Hopefully they get it fixed soon so all of us can work. I actually got the audio, didn't do the DNS changes, though so maybe that's why. I have no idea. I so hate computers. LOL
Darn, that would be perfect for me but sm
I can't do the move to Wisconsin thing with a husband, home, etc. I really could train at home strictly for the 3-6 months. And living west of Chicago, the daily drive would kill me.
Darn, that is disappointing.
I was truly considering this company after my line count with Spheris has dropped steadily over the last year and this sounded like a great place to go. Is there anywhere anymore that treats MTs fairly?
I know, you're right darn it. Ugh. nm
n
And what a darn shame too, because if there
wasn't the MT no one else would have a job.
It is a darn SHAME
WEBMEDX is a click. If you don't know someone personally and are not someone's friend personally, FORGET IT, they will trash you and think nothing of it...Great Job Today, On the streets tomorrow. They don't care who they hurt or who they Belittle. The QA mentoring is LAZY also.
sorry. Should be TRS's 'ad' - darn expander!

Hot darn it is in the Ahdi book.
The only time QA makes me pound my head is when they are correct and it can be seen in print.
Also, the new Nuance 7.5 VR is so smart. . .it remembers corrections you make. The whole page(s). Start planning. . .this one is top notch. . .better than the first. No more overtime. No more parttimers.
I meant voted (darn expander)
Darn, wish mine would have shown up DD today. nm

The lying is unbelievable. If you work there, you darn well

better than Lanier - darn short-cuts! NM

Darn my shortcut program. That is supposed to be "I" not HPI. nm

"Just get to your darn keyboards and work!!!!"
Oh my gosh, who are YOU to tell people to get back to their keyboards?!
::crackface::
Unbelievable!
I still cannot get over the fact that you said that. You may say that to your own children but you don't say something like that to an adult/s.
Where did you grow up? Heaven help us.
$7/hour is pretty darn good, I was making
the MT inexperience, as the inexperienced is all they are able to hire. Seasoned MT's know better than to go there.
WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone

Mandatory OT...
I just needed to rant that I am sick of Mandatory OT when I am IC AND typed 1400 lines in a day. There is no pay differential for this overtime until after 1700 lines that day.
Yup...mandatory OT bit the big one.
Glad I'm done with that!
DARN STRAIGHT... and as soon as the Indians are forced to work weekends,
then I will. I used to have plenty of work for my early morning shift and now none. Why? NOT BECAUSE THE CLIENT DOES NOT HAVE WORK AT THAT TIME......
BECAUSE THE INDIANS TOOK MY WORK. They get to work days and have off nights and weekends becuase us PRIMMA DONNAS are here to suck hiney and say *I will do it cause the client needs it*
WAKE UP!!!!!!! The world is laughing at you. 
Mandatory overtime
Yes as of a few months ago when I was there they had mandatory overtime. I think it is better for a company to offer incentive. Mandatory overtime is on a par with home slave.
Yep, working and mandatory OT
I love it!!!
Mandatory OT Amphion
You must be on the account with Drs. P, K, et. al. Been there done that. Mandatory OT should be compensated. It costs us money to rearrange our schedules. I exited giving my input and it looks like nothing I had to say made any difference. e-mail me if you like.
Can anyone say if they still have Mandatory overtime??? nm
s
Amphion mandatory OT
When I worked there, the mandatory OT consisted of horrible dictators that the in-house MTs did not want to do. If you were making line rate before mandatory OT, you would quickly fall into the pit with mandatory OT. Also demographics on some accounts are a nightmare. Doesn't mandatory overtime make one a home slave?
Mandatory overtime would keep me FAR away from them. nm
s
Mandatory OT? Is that even legal?
x
I thought it was going to become mandatory
That all physicians would have to go to EMR by the year 2010.
Diskriter used to make it mandatory that
a Transcriptionist with less than 3 years experience was not to be hired. Now they are dropping their standards to 2 years, no voice testing, etc. They do have a large turnover
Wow! What horrible place is this?!! Mandatory OT??? Ugh...nm
s
401K isn't elective but mandatory?
That's highly unusual and a new one!
They used to have mandatory overtime. Can anyone address this? nm
s
Used to start off at 7.4 cpl and they had Mandatory Overtime! Don't know
s
Mandatory extra hours?? How many?
nm
Plus Transtech has lots of OT - non-mandatory
.
Some accts. might still be on the DOS software here. And mandatory OT
s
Mandatory Line Counts
Just call me toad breath! LOL
