That website tells me a lot - NOT

Do you always believe what your employer tells you?
I worked for a local company and transcribed university hospital and VA reports. The company was pretty busy - 100 MTs across the country and the owner whined all the time about how he couldn't make ends meet and couldn't pay MTs more - blah, blah, blah - but I certainly never got any tissues out during these meetings. We found out from the bookkeeper later that the company charged and got18 cents per line and that was 6 years ago. Then he increased his charge to a large account the next contract bid and lost it and and didn't have the guts to lay off by senority and just let everyone keep working with promises they were seeking new accounts that didn't happen very quickly at all while we were all out of work and scrapping to find what we could. It is called GREED.
Agree, unless OP tells them, they will never know.

In my opinion, take what MQ tells you with
x
it tells you your tier rate
on the sheet that comes with thepacket. If you are a Tier 2 like me when I wanna be a Tier 3 I have to test. That's for everyone. I don't know about new hires as SE's are changing to new hire with 8 or 16 or 24 hour work week. Maybe an SE can answer this who has the packet, I am full time.
that tells me some people don't know how to use their brain.

This just tells me that this service owner does not know how
to handle her money. This 30-day thing or 45-day thing is because they do not have the money in the bank to pay. Every GOOD service owner should have at least two entire pay periods in the bank for payroll. They should not wait until they are paid by their customers. Bad bad business. I would never work for a company that withheld pay ever again. Yes, I have BTDT! I think we all have learned the hard way.
if noone tells her? Will she keep repeating her sorry work

Oh yeah...I can beat that one...How about the IT guy who tells who...
that the company has massively overhired on the account that you were just hired for. Hmm...could that be the reason why I have no money to buy my kids any Christmas gifts this year???!!! 9 months to go and I will never go near this transcription bullcrap ever again!!! This is my last Christmas ever again that I can't buy my kids any Christmas gifts!!!
This is what I am leaning toward. This is what my heart tells me.
I guess it is my brain that is all confused. Your help here is truly appreciated, it echos that small voice we are supposed to listen to in hard times....
Well, that tells us nothing, Care to elaborate w/o yelling? SM
I worked on it for radiology and it was wonderful.
how childish.
your name "just me" tells me how minute you feel,
WHO in the world would call themselves, Just Me. Like I am a nobody; a brainless unimportant to be hear is a Just me.
I read the article, it states exactly what the company always tells us...
that they offshore a small percentage of their work, and that it will never take the place of their domestic MLS. I love working at Transcend.
For someone that doesn't work at Transcend, you sure have gone to a lot of trouble to find the article and continue posting about it. Any other issues?
When a company tells you you'll tripple your line count

do not allow them access..................nm

No DSL access or cable either
where I live. Have satellite access, but hospital will not allow us to use this. For the past 10 years been using dial-up at 28K only, which can be frustrating at times, but I try to hang in there.
My goal is 1400 lines a day (7.5 hour shift), which I accomplish most days, but I do not have any little ones at home.
Hospital installing new web-based system soon, which they say will be much better!
I work for a large corporation with multiple smaller satellite facilities -- I work for one of the smaller facilities. Do you think we work for the same corporation?
I would encourage any experienced MT to work for a national sometime during their career. The experience and wealth of knowledge gained will last a lifetime. It takes an exceptional multi-tasker to be able to transcribe multiple accounts all in a day's work. But, DSL is required by most nationals.
Have you ever worked in a home-based setting?
If not, it takes a lot of discipline to work from home. I also encourage you to keep little ones in day care unless you can arrange to work while they sleep.
I personally am a little on the hyper side, like to move at fast pace and would rather be up working around the house. Warm sunny days are my worst -- love to be outdoors! So, I work in 2- to 4-hour blocks.
Wishing you the very best!
Any info on AMZ access?
They posted on the job boards. Anyone have any info?
Can MT's access old reports?
.
You still have access to history, sm
If you received the memo on Thursday, read the second to last paragraph. You still have access via a different route. Try it.
If you "grant" them access, they can
My experience has been once you let them connect remotely to your computer, they can do whatever they want while they're in there...which is why I don't leave my desk while they're on there- at least in theory, you can see what they're doing. I worked for a company once that did not like their people to use certain programs, so if tech support was on there for one thing, they kinda looked around. In my case, they saw AOL running down at the bottom and promptly disconnected it and uninstalled it. It actually might be harder to know if they're doing a snapshot, but at least you should know exactly what they're looking at.
Need 2 PC, both with internet access
of course that is prob. DSL monthly fees. See there ad
This is a dumb question but how do I access..sm
For the Record? I have never head of it and when I Googled it nothing came up. I want to check the ads there. Thanks.
Internet access while traveling
Just to add to the information regarding wireless Internet capabilities at several different hotels, it might benefit you to also check out places such as Panera Bread stores. They are located throughout the country and many of their stores also offer WI-FI free of charge. Also, you may want to consider going online and checking out WI-FI Hotspots. Amazing what kinds of places have wireless these days! (If you're an RV'er, you've really got it made!) Good luck!
How easy is it to access old reports and
how far back do they go.
I don't get it. QA does not have access to our line counts
you couldn't make line count? From what I was told, only management and support had access to that.
Any other Keystrokers not able to access the intranet again?
It has been having a lot of problems this past week with going down. Has been down all day today.
They aren't that big on quality. We have access to
the past 50 files on a doc so if you have questions or need samples you can pull them up. I'm surprised at the gross errors I see and I'm not even looking for them. I don't know what percentage of the work they QA, but they need to be doing more than they do.
Enterprise Access Problem?
Anyone else using AT&T having trouble logging in to Enterprise to work?
need IC status and can't get high-speed access..sm
I need to find a company that will hire IC and using dial-up (can't get cable or DSL in my area). I have over 20 years experience. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
The new version you can access line count.
Maybe you do not have good tech support or no one has shown you.
Same for TransTech - have access to previous reports

Just to advise, that company does not have access to MTStars

I can't seem to access the archives. Is this a good company?
D&L talks a good game. Am frustrated running out of work with Medquist yet again! Does anyone know if D&L is a decent company to work for?
A counter this is quicker to access, but I've never seen anything

TTQA does not have access to MT line counts
Nor are they involved in hiring/firing. Only give our opinion as to someone's quality. And I might add that TT management is as patient on working with someone with quality issues as any company I've seen in 20+ years in this business. And low work is just part of being in this field. TT is a good company.
You use the Ctrl + keys to access everything in the program. Very

I work for them, and I have dial up internet access.
What platforms give you access to old reports?
NM...
FYI, any message board, any at all, have access to IP addies
Some people lol
WMX'ers, can you access the Community Page? sm
It will not let me access it, although it did last night. I just wanted to check with y'all before contacting someone at the company. Thanks!
Midwest Transcription? Anyone know of this company. Cannot access archives. TIA. nm

It was during the summer, I think. Maybe you can access old stories from your local newspaper on

Who knows? When I used it, couldnt access line count and hear others saying the same.

Whatever that company is, they absolutely do not have access to our resume bank.

I do not have access to her phone number. I can just assume she has already hired all the help
she needed, but thanks...
Control I
I agree with you regarding ulterior motive. The simple answer is to DEMAND to know up front when working with Ex-Text whether Ctrl I will be used and if not, WHY NOT. If no answer to this or if given some vague answer, DON'T work for them.
Control I
Not being able to use Control I sounds suspicious to me. Dictaphone can set up any line count in Control I. One woman in Florida is paid and charges by every 37 characters and dictaphone has that set up. So anyone stopping you from using Control I has their own motives.
They have control over it
.
Of course they have control, you don't think they are going to gyp themselves do you.

I recently downloaded a trial of spyware and it turns off ITV when IT is trying to access it.
Don't know if that may be your problem or not, but that is the only time I have had it happen. It alwasy links to IE and I haven't figured out how to stop that. Wish I could.
You can only access the Jobs Board on MTDaily w/o paid membership. nm
