I did and have been contacted by 4 companies.  Talked on the phone to 2 different people and 1 was definitely better than the other in terms of pay.   I'm just doing this to fill a gap until I get more clients for my own company but it's a living.

I had two MT friends who worked there, then things started going south.  They kept trying to get me to apply there.

I remember the post (if it was yours) on the company board and remember it didn't stay on the board very long.  If I remember correctly, even though they removed your negative (truthful) post, the majority of the posts that remained were negative, complaining about things like the terrible platform and some being afraid they would have to apply for food stamps soon.

And if you're the person I'm thinking of, I believe you and I even emailed each other a couple times because I, too, had many concerns when you brought yours to the board.

You weren't wrong, and neither was I.  The only mistake I made was I stayed there a little longer than you did.  I should have left when you left.

I can't blame the newbies either because they simply don't know any better.  It's part of the process with this company.  They make sure things are great at the beginning, and then the downward process slowly begins.

Every single thing you have said is true.  If people don't want to believe it, then they can waste a few years of their life at Transcend, too.  I'm just grateful that I now work for a credible, honest company and couldn't be happier.  Hopefully, this will remain the case, and I can stay with this company for many years.  But after my experience at Transcend, my radar is definitely always on, and at the first hint of preferential treatment to someone else or lies being told to me, etc.,  I won't hesitate to leave this company as I hesitated to leave Transcend.

you had to do up a schedule for every week of the days you would be working.  You picked the days and number of minutes you would commit to.  So, if you were working part-time and committed to 50 minutes a day, you could work those whenever you wanted to, (50 minutes x 5 days) as long as you made your commitment.  I don't think you ever had to work any weekends.

As for being an IC, I have never had this kind of insurance.  As far as I am concerned, if the doc signs it, he is saying he read it over and agrees.  I don't think any IC MTs have ever been sued, but I don't know for sure.  Maybe post this question on the main board.  The companies save big bucks using ICs so there must be something in place for protection.  I think most MTs are ICs. 

When you are an IC, you set yourself up as your own business, sole proprietor.  It is as simple as registering your name.  I have an accountant do my income tax every year and it costs about $200.  Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Can anyone remember the name of the company that was advertising a while back for Transcriptionist that had changed their name.  The manager came on and wrote out a big explanation for why they were still answering the phones with the old name even though they were supposedly not the same company...

It seems like the new name was All American MT or something like that - and the old company was an Indian-owned company.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
