Best company I have found, BUT

In Reply to: Thank you very much, that's good to know sm - Thanks
I hate the ignoring of emails that goes on when they dont want to answer your question or address your concern. Have sent a few nice words to one of the owners, a thank you, a gesture, a comment....no reply ever. Must not speak to the little people. Same with DH. Nice, caring folks usually, then the many unanswered inquiries are troubling. At some point you just drop the issue because it's obvious you're being ignored and they don't want to deal with whatever.... so to pursue it puts one in an awkward position. In the grand scheme of transcription, this is heaven, but what's up with the stonewalling?

I found a company like that as well that
It is from a pool of work, but I do not HAVE to take it, and I do not HAVE to meet a quota. What a wonderful life! And, no they're not hiring... heehee 
I have found that company....
after working many years as an IC, I felt I needed more security, such as paid time off, retirement savings, completely affordable health care. It is pretty close to the perfect company for me. I keep to my schedule, I do my work, they leave me alone. What more could I ask for? BTW, it is Axolotl Corp.
so you found a company that sm
doesnt require weekends. If that is what you want, that is great. I also don't work weekends after 32 years of this. My point is the OP has an attitude that NO MT should have to work weekends when the MTSO obviously requires it. Just because she/or yourself for that matter, doesn't think an MTSO needs/requires weekend workers, doesn't mean that some MTSO contracts dont' require it.
I get so tired of hearing about MTs who demand certain hours, certain days, gotta have their pick of the work, line quota, etc but never want to bend at all. The job is not about the MT but about the patients. Seems to me lots of MTs have forgotten that behind all of this are patients.
If an MTSO requires weekend work and one MT doesn't want to work weekends, there are 10 that will take the place of the one. I just hate hearing the whining by the MTs who won't bend at all when the work is low and they need the money. Its obvious to me that the OP has never had to support a family totally on an MT salary. It can be done but not by a whiny MT who wants their cake and eat it too! After 35 years, you should know that.

Just found out my company offshores,

Company found way to handle TAT. SM
After 5 pm, they are dumping out whatever reports are in editors ques and sending them out to MTs, but just certain MTs who have high ratings and are not allowed to leave any blanks. Sounds like a great idea, except if one is the MT who gets stuck with all the junk, one right after the other.
This isn't VR either. 
Heads up, I just found out this is a BC, Canada company!!

Can you share what small company you found (sm)
that offers benefits (even if it is more costly). It seems that all I have talked to don't offer any and I can't afford to go without health insurance. Thank you so much in advance.
I agree...I found this company to be very back and forth...
when there is work, everything is great...but when there is no work and you want more, somehow they can't come up with any and make excuses as to the lack of work, et cetera...I moved on and am happy I did... I know people who are happy there so to each their own, this is just my own experience...good luck!!!
Awesome! I am glad to have found this company.

I am no longer working there. I had enough of their crap. I found a much better company

I found it hard to believe there was another company so close in spelling myself.

Former DRC/Acusis MTs - Have you found a company as nice to work for (sm)
as DRC with good software, pay, benefits, etc? Looks like REALLY good MTSO are few and far between.
Haven't found a great place yet . . ., was with last company three years.
Just new this internet thing.
This is what I have found while looking for the right job - sm
I have one child still at home who will be going off to Kindergarten in a couple of years. I do not want to put my child in day care, so I need a job that provides an adequate window to be able to finish my work. I do 1000 lines per day, 5 days a week. I know that isn't a lot, but with a child at home with me during the day, that's the most I can do at this time. I have yet to find a company who will allow you to have employee status and flexibility with your schedule. Yes, you can generally pick your own schedule with most companies, but I just cannot say that I will be able to finish my work within an 8-hour period of time. That is why I am looking into FN at this time.
To each his own. I have found in all my
years of working at home that what one MT thinks is great, another thinks is not so great. The opinions of the company that I stated are my experience. It could be mine only. I am only trying to help.
Found it! (nm)

I found
a Medical Dictation, Inc. located in Florida.

I found this (m)

Has the same email addy. Looks a little...um...well anyway, that's what I found.

I was not impressed, it took a long time to learn, and the training the pits.
OK, I found it
Thanks I will check that out!
I found some...
I finally found some fairly current posting about OSI. I had to go back to page 20 or so. However, if anyone wants to add anything new, I would love to read about it. Thanks.
What I found -
Most accounts have plenty of horrible ESL docs. There is also lack of work on a very regular basis. Pay is on time and seems to be correct. Communication, when there is any, is often rude, stinging, and nasty for no reason whatsoever other than *someone* is having a bad day. You decide for yourself.
Found it!!
Never mind, unless someone has updated information. I just did a search and found past posts on this company.
That's what I found odd..It was never really an ad..
It really was just someone on the job seeker's board, a Baspen or something saying that some company had contacted her about a traveling job and she was passing on the information. So, no company ever came and did an ad themselves, just supposedly an MT with information. The next thing you know, she is saying the position is filled Now, if she was only just an MT who was asked about a job she didn't want, what is her angle advertising on here for them. I found it odd and thinks this person solicited resumes for whatever reason. I am not sure why it was even allowed on the job board as I do not feel it was very legit.
Thanks! Found it.
I have to buy it. Thought someone could tell me how to delete words/lines at a time, etc.
Let me tell you what I have found about VR
I am on VR and thankful, very thankful a lot of the ESLs on there - the reason is their dictation actually comes out better on VR than hearing yourself. If they have a medication VR is really able to get in a way I never could have imagined. I would not worry about VR being able to get their voices- what I think will probably happen in your job is any and all dictators probably going to VR and then the money for transcribing drops, tremendously. A lot of places trying to do away with straight (the nationals) and get VR.
I have found it
by just typing in MD-IT Transcrip;ton Service. Their website came up.
Found it, is this it?
The company I have been working for for about a year decided they were not going to pay this pay period because they claimed they did not get paid because of bad transcriptions and they were looking to see who were behind the bad transcriptions and then pay next pay period, which is a month after the work is completed as it is. Also, the work has been under 100% QA, so how could there be bad transcriptions still getting through? Does anyone know if there are legal remedies, as they owe me three paydays if they decide to not pay me.
Think I found it
Do they hire employee or just IC?
I think I found it! Thanks!
I founds some discussion.
We only found out...sm
...in December. I'm sure the whole thing had been going on for a while, but they didn't tell us MTs until December and gave us about 2-3 weeks' notice. The conference calls were very helpful and informative, however. Made the whole process easire. My TL would always send us emails letting us know what was going on and what to expect...which was not much change from what we were doing already, except for how we report our time/lines. I just wish we didn't have to fill out all that paperwork again (W-4, I-9, etc.). The HIPPA and Transcend-specific paperwork I understand, but the others I wish would have just been transferred over. I'm not privy to how that process works, so I just do what I'm instructed to do.
Not sure about the not sending work to India thing. I believe that Transcend does send work overseas, but it's a small percentage from what they told us.
found it. thank you so much. nm

After 26 yr doing this I have found..
that if a co is paying this way, they are not paying well... the better companies are up front and do it by 65 char line.. no confusin formulas :)
wish I could have found you when sm
I was hiring MTs several years ago!
I would think by now you would have found another job.
Wasting time complaining here.
Here is what I found on ANP ....
I don't know this company and have not seen an ad posted for them, however, when I goggled them I found these 2 sites that are extremely alarming for anyone that would want to apply with them ....
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/334/RipOff0334462.htm
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/173/RipOff0173596.htm
While these reports are older, it does send up warning flags, in my opinion.
found a little more...
I would recommend, once again, just using the words of: 'company name' acquisition 'company name'

I think I found it but....
It is for sales not for a transcriptionist.
... I found myself a new job NOT MT, but
I probably wouldn't trust the offer you just threw out there. Cynical MT that I am! It looks like something I'd see on a telephone pole (and used to see, make $30,000 in your spare time doing medical transcription!
No offense, just how it struck me.
The only link I found
http://www.webnow.com/stattransinc
I found a macro to do this for you.
This is the link to the entire discussion and the macro for Word, but since there are several macros to do it, you can go and copy it and decide which one you want.

never mind, I found them on the sm
internet. They are in Abbeville SC. I have sent for information on their company. I am going to check it out. Thanks for the tip.
Where can this statement be found?
t
I found some stuff, but nothing really about -sm
their flexibility. I may leave an IC job to become an employee and I am really worried about it, not sure that I can do this with 1 child still at home (3-year-old boy). I know there is a BIG difference between IC and employee status. I just don't want to stress myself out too much on a day-to-day basis. By the way, I'm not the OP. I think I will pass though. Flexibility is extremely important to me, at least until my youngest goes to Kindergarten.
Nevermind. Found out they do not. Ah well.

I found a few comments...
from 2005 by using the Search function up above with Chase Transcription...those comments didn't look particularly encouraging so would be interested to hear any current opinions, too. Don't remember for sure, but there may have been some comments a few pages back, will have to do a search page by page forthose since not archived.
Thank you, Helper. I found it!
