    Depends on the accts you get put on. They hire people every month, tho'! nm

    Most people get lucky and get good accts. I was also one put on an acct that had me leaving para

    I SO resent the VR mentality
    They don't RESENT paying technologists a decent wage for THEIR skilled labor, but somehow there is a mindset against paying a SKILLED Transcriptionist what THEY are worth.

    NOTE TO HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS: We are NOT typists!!

    Think of us more as TRANSLATORS and you'll see our fees/wages are BARGAINS.

    Remember: These are not just medical documents, they are legal documents as well. If you want to chance those documents to people who work at bargain basement prices, you are taking a litigious gamble...
    I'm sorry for your losses, but I really resent your
    saying that basically posters who do not put their names are not honest. You've got to be kidding me, though sadly you're not. You're with Transcend, and your post is glowing, obviously you feel ingratiated -- indebted -- to them, including posting names of those you wish to praise. Obviously you would want them to know its you. But for those of us who had unhappy experiences, its not really appropriate to be posting our names with our experiences. I gave exit interviews and shared my unhappiness, and was asked to stay, which I declined. Its naive to think that I am dishonest because I don't want to post my name. Again, I am sorry for your losses, but the sum and substance of your recommendation for Transcend is that they are a great company to work for when you have death and illness in your life. For me, the daily 24/7 routine during blessed periods in my life with no tragedy was torture, pure torture. So, I'd rather not base my decision to try a company based on the tragedy situations, but the daily ones. Again, great that they treated you right. I'm sure my company would do the same. You are just way off base by implying that negative posters who give full details are being dishonest simply because we choose not to put our true names out here. And just because you post a name, including details of a story, still does not mean you are you. You still could be Transcend management with an imaginary employee who you treated wonderfully. No way to know in the internet who is real  and who isn't.
    Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

    I didn't propose anything so i rather resent your "rah rah" sm
    comment. I just stated what I heard about a timeline.

    Sorry if you are such a poor budgeter that you can't live through the EXPECTED SLOW TIMES OF THE MT profession. I plan ahead during the overtime times, and SAVE some money.
    I resent being called clueless. If you don't work at

    Precyse, don't attack me or the company.  We're all trying to survive in this market.


    We resent converted wav files that will work in any player. All positions at this point have been

    each and every applicant who has submitted a resume and/or tested with us.  Should we have missed anyone, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for applying and/or testing for USAType, Inc.

    MQ accts not on DQS
    When our office was closed we were all transferred to Foxboro because none of our accts at that time were on the new platform, they were on MTS. Some of those accts since have gone up on the new platform and some are still on MTS--either way we still have NO WORK
    No more accts on WP5.1...all are now
    on the FN platform, which is Word based.
    yes to all the above - at least on the accts I was on.

    Not the OP, but do they have net accts now, or still

    On 5 accts at DSG and still run out - nm
    Been like this for months now.

    Are all DRC accts on Cphones?? nm

    They don't outsource VA accts because they can't (sm)
    Contracts with the fedgov won't allow it. Funny how the gov't won't allow VA files to be sent overseas, but they don't bother putting a stop to the rest of ours going huh?
    Webmedx does on certain accts, you have to ask. nm

    I'm new to them but have only 2 accts and plenty of
    nm
    Proscipt new accts
    Nope..just takes some getting used to. I take all the work I can get.
    So is this all QA or just those on the dropped accts?
    Just wondering!
    re wav or internet accts
    mine have been lower on work but not running out. I was told by my liasion that if there is no work you are not expected to keep your committment. I would suggest any of these things be directly discussed with your liasion so that there are no misunderstandings. Most any MT work will fluctuate some. I sure wouldn't turn away from MDI based on these concerns.
    No Work Either and I am on one of the new accts
    .
    I have 4 accts and still run out. I am requesting another. nm.

    MDI Lanier Accts
    I, too, will be starting on a Lanier acct in January. Please keep us informed as to how you like it, as I am also curious, anxious to know what to expect. I worked on Lanier over 10 years ago, but can't remember what I liked or didn't like about it. Thanks for any info you are willing to provide once you get started and good luck to you!
    Yes, they definitely are - new accts coming on sm
    and there was a referral bonus notice put out a few weeks ago.
    Who's going to manage their accts sm
    while they're gone?  I already have enough trouble having to press this and press that to get through their phone menu when I have a simple question.  I'm glad they felt they need to give their STMs a trip, that must be where our Christmas gift went.
    Dont know about accts because only
    work on 1, my own doing. I do both VR and straight, 8 for straight, 4 for VR. Most days the work is fine. Slump every once in awhile.
    I have no good accts, all ESL. nm
    x
    Maybe so, but anyone new won't be put on it. I had too many horrible ESLs on my accts. nm
    s
    If you like to be switched on accts all the time.
    x
    Do they keep changing your accts & platforms or do you have just 1 or 2
    s
    Any info on DonNik rad accts?
    Curious specificaly in regards to the platform they use and if pay is acceptable/comparable to most other companies.  Tks!
    you have to go through w/any company if you work VA accts..nm
    z
    Me, too. Those of you that got great accts. be glad. nm
    s
    At least 5 new accts coming on this month sm
    according to my manager.
    Spme accts use E-scription
    nm
    ...got played. They also had accts using MedRite, so maybe

    If there are backup accts then everyone should be trained on them
    If there is no work and no backup account then there is a huge problem. Please clarify the above. Have you asked for a backup? As for working at Sears, Im sure if business was slow you would have to stick around but they would pay you for your time.
    Execuscribe in NY has C-phone accts. Don't know about the
    s
    Ummm, well of course I'm not speaking for all accts..
    However, I do happen to know that the majority of the accounts have ADT feed, which provides all the DI info right there...nice try though!
    Some accts. might still be on the DOS software here. And mandatory OT
    s
    New accts. Can I beat myself with a stick now? A-G-G-H
    nm
    I have 3 accts and spend 85% of my time on 1 of those; sm
    I almost never run out of work. Good for you that you found some place else that is a better fit for you. However, some of us are happy and do well there.
    So today I see OT posted for at least 10 accts sm
    on the Enterprise side. Are you still out of work today???
    i have steady work, on wav accts
    with occasional lull's. i could work on secondaries, but usually do something around the house that begs my attention. All i can suggest is being able to be somewhat flexible with your hours, and/or talking to liaison about backup accts. as a last resort, a second company part-time i suppose. but in my opinion, MDI-MD is worth sticking with.
    Yes, I have 3 accts now, started the end of the spring.
    They are willing to cross-train you if you are willing and good in order to keep you busy. You start with 1 account and after you are let off QA and type on that for a while you can get a secondary, etc. This has been my best job in years.
    Webmedx - some accts ran out a few times from Wed. on (sm)

    Then we were told we could make up lines Friday evening or Saturday a.m.  All well and good, but now the 2 accounts I am on have 0, count them 0, jobs in them.  I work 8 hours tomorrow!!!! Last day of pay period and I am concerned  I will be at the computer all day scratching out the lines/hours I need. 


    Really like this company, but with Christmas and winter gas bills coming up, I am wondering if I should think about another PT gig on the side.  I know all companies are keeping closer TAT than in the past, I understand that.  Just worried. 


     


    Transtech has 2 huge hem/onc accts
    NM.
    Different STMs/accts have different rules SM
    and expectations.  The best way to find out is to ask your STM, because someone else's experience may not end up to be yours.  Mine happens to be very strict as far as hours/lines and I will get a phone call if I am short on either for a day.  I know others who have different STMs who do not have that experience.
    YOU'RE SO SURE NEW ACCTS. COMING?..sm

    First told in November - must flex for now.


    Thus, multiple MTs on board re. quitting/leaving.  (Kids wanna eat before November, car repo man around the corner, mortgage company frothing at mouth, who also wants their $ - you know the drill) - all before November, how greedy of them all!


     HAPPY FRIDAY, SUGAR PIES!   (Must do/say something STAT  - before all MTs leave - but have to tell them something QUICK)


    So now, Only have to wait 'till JULY for new work, sweetie-pie, babydoll!


    Sure, right.
