What do we know about Transtech Medical Solutions?  I tried a search and found nothing.  They don't just use ICs, do they?  You can get employee status?  Pay range?  Ease of use of platform?  Anything?  Will my GearPlayer work?  ShortHand compatible? 

Good or bad on either of these 2 compaines would be appreciated.

Pros:  Good benefits.  Very flexible, no nights/weekends unless you want it in your schedule.  Always have work available.  Yes, they have radiology.  Great people & great accounts. 

Okay, after 3 months straight of mandatory OT at Amphion, it is time to rethink my choice of employers.

Let me just start out by saying, I had no real problem with Amphion before the OT started.  I don't mind a little OT here and there, but when I first started working, I gave a schedule that listed the times and number of hours that I could work.  Months and months of mandatory OT just cuts deeply into time which is not really available for work and messes up my day on a daily basis.

Mandatory OT, however, would be great if I were actually making significantly more money, which I am not. 

This brings me to my real vent.  I seem to be the daily recipient of what I have dubbed "reverse cherry picking" (among other less socially acceptable terms). 

Here's a little background info.  I am in an account where we were urged to tell the people who route our jobs to us our preferred dictators and usually that is who we get.  (After all, this account has over 100 dictators.)  Anyway, this also means that there are certain shall we say less than perfect dictators out there whom nobody chooses.  (Okay, I've been thru mushmouths and ESL doctors usually without a problem, but these guys at the bottom of the pile truly are the worst of the bunch in my opinion.  They are the "distracted and disorganized rapid whisperers". When I went to school, we were taught to enunciate.  I guess that is a dying art.  We were also taught proper grammar, but I won't get into that pet peeve right now.) 

So what is "reverse cherry picking"?  That is when your employer purposefully interrupts your queue and sends you the backlog of the worst dictators on the account.  

 I will work for an hour or 2 and then before my eyes, my queue will clear out and fill up with nothing but those at the bottom of the pile. (Remember, nobody wants them, so they do pile up.)   Productivity, needless to say, comes to a screeching halt or at least a slow crawl which often lasts until the end of my shift.  I think because I work late night hours, very few other people are transcribing which leaves us with the bulk of these reports.  However, now I am beginning to think I am being singled out.  The last time I got an email from my lead notifying me about this, it only came to about 5 of us and did not go to all the people on the account.  There are so many of us on this account, if they spead it out equally, none of us should be getting 10-15 reports in a row of these dictators, but I don't think that is happening.

I also have all the normal problems with Amphion that seems to be repeated, ad infinitum, on this board including the the demographics screen being unpaid and sometimes taking longer to fill in than the actual transcription.  (Yes, I am aware that some accounts don't have this issue, but mine does.) I won't get into that here, but it is annoying as well.

Anyway, just wanted to know if anyone else gets slammed on a regular basis with the worst of the worst?

Anyone work for them or heard of them?  Thanks for the info.

Are there any StatIQ MTs out there?  Do you like it?  Any pros/cons?

Thanks.
