They did merge us in with you in Jan SM

and the only difference between our group and yours is the platform.  We are working under Webmedx policies and management is all from WMX.  I was happier when we were TransHealth.  The company is very money-driven now and we are treated like nameless and faceless people.


MDI merge
*Mergers are a natural part of the business world. Some companies win and some companies lose. There are only so many resources they can exploit and as these become more limited in the global market there is a higher chance that mergers and takeovers will happen. There are signs that an

 impending merger will happen and many reasons why these mergers are enacted.*  
yet another merge

a friend of mine went from Acusis to MDI.  Like I told her, at least she knows what to expect this go round.  Bottom line for you MDIers..  Don't believe a word that comes out of their mouths going forward.  IMHO. 


Thank you. MDI/ Transend hmm sm
thank you, very helpful Not to disclose rates hey, hmmm. Know what I do, I email first and ask the lowest to highest so both sides don't waste valuable time and would be happy to then send resume or test and many/most do respond.
Transend
Any information on Transend, example 4.5 hours training and then another hour of doing  sample reports with feedback.  Plateform difficult? Anybody
I will have a new job, but it won't be with TRANSEND
I refuse to work for a company who is going to lower our compensation rates, send our work out to India or do a majority of it VR....no way!!

With all the extra I time I put into MDI because we would receive countless emails about helping out, that she is helping us save our jobs BS, I refuse to go with another company that is looking for someone to work for pennies. Reading prior posts, it does not seem Transcend MTs are really happy with their company. I refuse to sell my soul to the devil like Dorothy did!
Did Superscript merge with MD-IT??
Heard through the grapevine??
MDI merge issue
Has anyone from MDI quit without giving any notice, since the merge announcement?  I'm not sure if I should give notice or just quit right away and start new job.  Thanks
MDI/Transcend merge
What may be Transcend's pay scale obviously isn't the same as MDI's pay scale. So, you think it would be fair if they dropped MDI employees line rate to match Transcend's scale? Sorry, I strongly disagree. I don't consider the MDI employees new people either. We didn't just wake up one day with the great idea to move to a new company and start at the bottom again.
Any info on Transend
Could anyone tell me anything good or bad about Transend?

Thank you

I don't know anything about Transend, but they can't possibly
me worse than SoftScript.  If you read back through old posts there are lots of posts about both of them. 
Transend acquistions
I was sold  toTranscend as part of a package as well. I was happy with all of the personnel (QA, team leads etc) in my previous company..........good responses to IMs, emails etc. They have   left now Trascend for other opportunites. Honestly I am not sure why, but cannot imagine it was because they were happy.
Transend/MDI pay cuts
To all Transcend MTs, I am syaing without any form of hostility, welcome to our world. I am wondering if any of you have the answers to the questions us MDIers have been asking: Is IC still an option? Will be be limited to a 40-hour work week? Will our schedule include 1 weekend day EVERY weekend? What happens if we can't (because of lack of work) meet our commitments? Can we expect a cpl drop? Will we be forced to VR? Will we have a set schedule or can we work when we want? How is the current work flow, is there enough for everyone? What percentage of work is being outsourced and what are the projections for next year?

These are questions that us MDIers cannot get answered. Do you Transcend MTs have any REAL and credible answers?
MD-IT doesn't merge with companies.
nm
buy, merge, the point was they are now one company. nm
,
True! When MTSOs merge, the MTs are just
nm
Transend, good, bad, ugly??
Considering employment.  Any experiences to share????
Um.. Actually its Heartland and Spheris that is rumored to merge...
nm
There was a MT that was venting in regards to Transend on their private board sm
(it is automatically set up so if you enter you know who is posting . . name displayed)and the other employees and management was nasty as h++ so believe me I wouldn't post any thing on the private board negative. I have already resigned. I have a week left.
Address the same as Transend Services - HMMMMM ???

No affiliation with Transend, but that was a DAMN good post and fall under
all companies, all posts. These same "cheerleaders" have posted negative on other companies IM SURE, but yet when they find their place they think it okay to bash others who have not. Very annoying. There is nothing wrong with giving neg/pos on companies, but it should NOT lead to an argument, bashing, etc. When making a decision a pro/con list is very affective and those looking for a new company or doing just that by reading this information. I have turned jobs down solely for the "attitudes" of the cheerleaders. I figure if they have people that snotty and high and mighty working for them, I don't want to be in that category or atmosphere!!
Well, just wondering if they are getting ready to sell out or merge with Spheris. I dont work for
them either but from what I have ready this is close to the way they operate.
How much are single insurance rates???? Webmedx, Axolotl, Keystrokes, TT, Transend?
Thanks for the info!
