Didn't realize it was catty to realize that from 1/18 to 1/25 is a week and nothing happened. sm
Thanks for being supportive and kind.
I didn't realize there was such a
company where everyone is happy and no negative comments. Point me in the right direction - I certainly would appreciate it.
Thanks, I didn't realize there were so many. nm
I didn't realize it was the "law" to
board. And besides, Jayne may not even be your name.
The law suit is going just fine by the way, and we will get our pay owed to us, it is not just me in on this.
I didn't realize that was a problem
Let me see if I can edit it. Thanks for the tip-off.
Sorry. Didn't realize would be intrepreted like that but you are right.

Ugh. I was leaning towards TT but didn't realize
they were pushing VR so heavily. I can't afford the pay cut of VR. Guess I'll look elsewhere - thanks for the warning!
didn't realize, guess I don't then...NM

I didn't realize MDI hired employees --
What type of benefits are you receiving, i.e insurance, PTO, 401K? Is there any flexibility in your shift? Are you being paid downtime or do you have to flex according to the work flow?
Sorry to be so nosy, but I didn't realize MDI hired employees.
I guess I was confused...didn't realize poster...
was referring to hourly wages. Whenever I worked an hourly job, lunches were not paid--had to punch in and out.. The 15-minute breaks were paid though...didn't have to punch the ol' card for those.
I just get rubbed raw at the hourly thing because the average at-home transcription gig pays on production and to mandate that someone has to be sitting in front of their monitor from such and such a time or else is just very disheartening. We know we have to work our buttinski's off or we bring home a crappy paycheck and we recognize TATs that have to be met...treat us like the professionals we are and we'll all be happy, know what I'm sayin?
I didn't realize that had any straight typing accounts.
I've been there about 5 years and I only get about 5% straight typing, 10% max. What platform are you on? I work Escription and it is all basically VR. I truly hope what they promised you actually exists.
You have to realize that there are some people that you cannot sm
make happy no matter what you do and that those same people take their negative selves to the boards and attack their latest company. It IS two-sided. MTSOs have as many problems with MTs as MTs do with MTSOs, but we are supposed to just sit back and be attacked without voice.
There are some people who have miserable lives and like to spread their poison everywhere they go. The problem is that they seem nice and normal when being hired and then their true self shines through within days or weeks.
I didn't take the posts as trashing the company, just people venting about no work. sm
I used to work for TT, and yes, they are wonderful people -- very caring and supportive -- but in order to get my lines in, I had to be VERY flexible, working on my days off, during times I wasn't scheduled, etc., and it gets old pretty quickly. I personally didn't care for the e-mails calling me sweetie or telling me you rock, but that's just me. I just want to be paid well and have plentiful work. I do not know if they just overhire or what happens, but I finally left because I couldn't stand the feast or famine work flow there.
I think people don't realize those records are THEIRS
They are YOUR medical records. My sister is a nurse, and I used to work for a medical malpractice attorney, and I was amazed at the errors I would see in the MR. Plus, my sister says - those records are yours. You are entitled to view your medical records any time you want. You can't view someone else's, but you surely can view yours, and NEED to view them for accuracy every once in awhile. When we moved recently, and my husband was given his records to take with us to a new doctor, I was amazed at the sloppiness of the records. I loved our doctor, but considering the fact that her staff took my husband's history, and listed he was allergic to Doxacillin (he is actually allergic to doxycycline) - made me think twice about whether or not I would ever return to that office. Pitiful.
You do realize that probably 90% of the people who post
on here and read on here probably just applied to your company that you're talking about! It's nice to know that there are still good companies out there. It gives me a little glimmer of light in my oh so dark tunnel that I've been stuck in lately.
I agree. I mean I realize you have to have some idea what people are doing
because of the work that has to be done but not to this extent. You are right, I might as well be an employee somewhere. She doesnt hire employees just IC so I expect she feels a need to rule them like that or she has a problem with controlling people. It almost seems like that. There are other vendors on the account so maybe it is greed to keep pushing and pushing to get as much as she can. Who knows.
MOST of TransTech's accounts are obtained through Dictaphone/Nuance -- not by any TT mgmt people
out seeking work for all the MT's that they have recently hired on. That is not a good thing when Dictaphone has control of how much work TT gets, when we can have some work from them, etc. They have other MTSO's who want work for their MT's, too, so Dictaphone/Nuance has to share with all MTSO's who have contracted with them to use their equipment; thus, doling out jobs as Dictaphone/Nuance sees fit for their good.
I'm not mgmt. I don't even work there, but was
My choice was between TT and another company. The other company went higher than 9 cpl, and I went with them.
I can't believe you are MISSING a day when we are all drowning in work. You either aren't
working your scheduled hours during the week OR you need a backup account. Either way, there is more than enough to go around.
I realize...I just want a job that has a ton of work that
I can do as I please. There is one company I've been hearing about that has a ton of work and will let me go part-time, which helps (since I have a current job as well). I have little kids, it's just so hard...not what it used to be.
u do realize there are more than 2 platforms they work off of
I am a newbie there. Clarity runs out of work but the 3.8 and something else doesnt. They wont train me on the 3.8 because it is more easy to make money. I think they are transitioning all to Clarity. If they do they are screwed unless they get the exterminator in, there are more bugs in this system then I have ever seen
But - don't you realize not havng to work
See, many companies overstaff, have no work, and expect you to flex (attempt to work 24/7) or take PTO until it is all gone - taking UNPAID time is a luxury you can't have until your PTO is exhausted - at least that's what my supe just informed us. In light of that, these folks are so nice they're actually allowing you to take a day off without expecting you to be chained to your workstation TRYING to get paid. Yep, what most people in other industries consider a given, we are supposed to consider a thrilling luxury since we are so far beneath all others on the food chain.
NO WORK again today -- mgmt, are your checks LOW, too???? n/m
Who is making the money to keep your paychecks the same????
Is this really fair? You mgmt people should be doling out some of your paychecks to us MT's who have NO WORK and LOW PAYCHECKS.
i didn't know i was testing or working
thought i was just posting a quick response---what's the problem
I didn't get anything, but I'm happy just working for them. nm
I didn't start working as an MT until
my kids were teenagers. I never could've done it when they were little. I admire anyone who can, but no way.
I realize we work from home, but where in Ky is their base office?
nm
Be glad you didn't actually start working there...
I was hired and during training realized what a huge mistake I'd made. The software is really outdated and complicated, and there was a lot of miscommunication and misinformation from the start. I didn't have a good experience with the gal who hired me either. Strange to be treated like a number before you're even out of the honeymoon stage of employment!
Be glad you didn't get officially hired - you saved yourself some time and money!
glad I didn't start working for them. It sm
was a mess trying to get set up so I figure the pay would have been screwed up too.
but mgmt told me they outsourced some work to a small company at times.
There is no reason for me to lie about this.
I am NOT talking about offshoring, but the company whom they outsource to may offshore . . . I have no idea about that. But straight from the horse's mouth, they have outsourced to a small MTSO before.
You can notice how the work dries up all of a sudden when they turn it over to the service and we have no work.
TT mgmt may not tell that they outsource today, but they definitely told me about 9 months ago when I asked when the work was low. From the way the jobs disappear occasionally, I think it happens quite often.
Their IT people have been working on
it for quite a while now and it is getting better, but I live quite a ways out, so I might have more trouble than the rest. Any idea how to fix it? Our IT people are not very good.
did you have people working for you sm
when you had your business? Did you ever need them to work weekends for you?
So you made 10 cpl right out of school. That was then and this is now and the profession has changed. You have BEEN in the position of having to have a paycheck. Sounds like you don't HAVE to have a paycheck now. If you don't HAVE to have the paycheck then why all the complaining. Let the ones to need the paychecks do what they want, quit complaining. If and when you EVER GET TO THE PLACE where you need a paycheck again, you will again be willing to work and do whatever it takes to put food on the table. Don't knock those who still do.
Personally, I don't have to HAVE the paycheck either. But, because I don't have to work doesn't change the way I look at MTing. It is a job that you do when the work is there. If you had your own business for 19 years you should know that.
You are going in circles nad not making a bit of sense.
Uh, not too many people because the door didn't
All that is left are the newbies who don't know any better. They meekly wonder why they don't have any work to do but don't have enough experience to work for a real company so they twiddle their thumbs while their work is sent overseas. Nobody in their right mind would be happy there unless they have trampled on people on the way to the top.
Gee, could it possibly be because there are a lot of people who actually like working
there? You have obviously had some bad experiences. I am sorry for you.
What I want to know is why aren't people working?
......
Not working that schedule, but because they have people
working that schedule two days of my shift I can't get even half my time in and then even if I work my off days there isn't enough work to make up for the shortages those 2 days. I already work what seems like 12-hour days just to get in 7 hours with that stupid clocking in and out.
They seem to have happy people working for them
I too sent in a resume a couple weeks ago and did a search and saw mostly very positive posts. I did that related posts thing that the other poster describes and it worked really well.
I figured they are probably swamped with applications if the number of people I have seen post that they really want to work there is correct. :)
If I were working for the Toth people
I might just make a friendly little stop by my local IRS office for a chat.
Thank you! that was really kind of you. didn't know nice people were still around, LOL. sm
we all know as with everything, time and circumstances change. sorry to hear your outcomes. i too hope TT will hold up to its end of the bargain as they have something great going on now and we need companies like this.
That is just pitiful, How do people stand working there??? NM
xxxxxxxx
There are a lot of people who do and it seems that most love working there. I started 6 months ago
and have no complaints at all. It is refreshing to work for a company that treats employees as individuals, not just a number. I also like that they do not send work offshore and that I only have one main account. I do have 2 back-up accounts, but have never worked on them after training. I am lucky that my main account is very busy, too busy most of the time!
I hate it when people tell me that working at home is a benefit (sm)
Benefits are something that the company pays for. No use as MTs. If it was a true benefit, then they should give us the money to cover the costs of what daycare would be, because if you have kids, generally they stay at home with you, right? So, they should be compensating us for daycare costs on top of what we already make. Now THAT would be a benefit!
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
Give it some time. I think some people aren't working today and the ice
s
I remember your post several weeks ago..Hopefully, you still arent working for these people. I'm
sure they have been paid by their client. Why do they think they can rip people off. You need to post their name so that noone else bothers with them. Oh yeah, I think I remember now..It was someone named Joanna who asked for overflow help on podiatry, right? I am ashamed to admit that I submitted my resume. Luckily, she never called or I would be doing what your doing..Nightmare..
My job is working out splendidly, I wouldn't say big bucks, but good pay and nice people. sm
I am just looking for something to do in the evening and weekends. I am going to the job during the week daytime hours. I miss transcribing as it is not transcribing. Thanks for your concern. But, yes this job I am working at during the day is a breath of fresh air compared to trying to sort through transcription companies, trying to figure out how they pay, by the character, by the 65 character count line or gross lines. I really am enjoying the people the place too. I would recommend trying an out of the house job for everyone on this board that can!
I kinda agree. I enjoy working at TT, but this kind of "overkill" is why people sm
get tired of us talking so much on here. Every place I have ever worked has always paid early if the pay day fell on a holiday. Granted, they do not have to, and it is a nice and considerate thing to do, but hardly so much so as to make me want to burst into a chorus of Go Tell It On the Mountain. lol
Great advice. Is people stop working for them, maybe they will start paying attention. I wonder if .
their clients know they do not pay their MTs to do the work. You can bet that Rapid Transcript is getting paid by the client. What a ripoff. Just the fact that they have an F rating by the BBB woudl be enough of a turn-off for me. Crappy business practices.
Don't know mgmt, but in Feb. you needed Word 2003 and Office 2003 to work. nm
s
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
