I just can't believe Transcend management is promoting such a cut-throat / get it while you can / if you can atmosphere.  Everybody knows this field is feast or famine, but when the famine gets so bad that management isn't taking control of an already bad situation it becomes a scavenger hunt.  What's worse yet is that they're promoting it. I wonder how many MLSs working during the day and hopping on in the evening, middle of the night, or early morning hours realize that they're working over 8 hours just to make their usual 20K?  But we'll just turn our heads.  Hop on when you can, wink, wink.

I have worked for Transcend before, within the last couple months in fact.  I got so sick of scavenging for work and mismanagement that I left after years of giving it chance after chance. There isn't one person on earth that can tell me I didn't give them the benefit of the doubt. Once when the work was very low, I logged every single minute worked for 3 pay periods just to get an idea of how many lines I could type working various shifts throughout an 8 hour day.  Every time I sat down at the computer and checked for jobs, I counted it no matter how short the time was because that's still considered working.  Every time a job came in and I did it, I counted it.  No matter what shift I worked, I counted it. I wanted to figure how much I could do in an exact 8 hour period.  I can usually do about 250-300 lines an hour when the rhythm is there and the work flows continuously, but some times I had to work every single day to equal 40 hours per week because some days there was no work when I was on.  Anything over and above 40 hours is OT and OT was not authorized.  So if "Get a Life" is making 20K when the work is low, she is definitely working more than 8 hours a day or has some inside track to "know" exactly when the work is there to grab.  But, if she is actually working more than 8 hours a day without figuring exactly how much time was worked, and is only popping an 8 into that little box, that's illegal.  If she is claiming more than 8 hours a day, I'd like to know how she got OT when others can barely make the 11K requirement by working their 8 hours.

I wonder how many MLS at Transcend actually sat down and calculated the exact time it takes to make their regular lines when the work is slow instead of just working at all different times and just popping an 8 in the box.  You'd be surprised at how much time you're actually putting in to make your usual lines per pay period.  But then, hey, of course Transcend would promote this.  They don't have to pay OT that way, they get the work done, and they appease the MLSs who "think" they're treated so well because they can work whenever they want, when they want. Next time the work is low, try it some time.  You'd be shocked at your hourly wage, especially if building up those lines with editing.

I also agree with the poster below too that mentioned "Get a Life" never stated if the 20K lines were editing or typing.  If she went from 20K ppp while typing with high volumes to 20K ppp while editing when the volume is low, that makes sense.  She was able to keep her usual 20K, but 20K lines editing still makes for a smaller pay check and that wasn't brought out.  Usually when a person is that evasive in their replies, won't come right out and say how many hours they worked, or if it was editing or typing, there's a reason for it. Why not shout it from the rooftops if it is actually on the up-and-up?  Or worse yet, why take such great offense at someone asking for a straight answer if you're doing nothing you shouldn't be?  If you make the claim, be proud to back it up with details.

in the post below, why did no one tell the MT in the hiring process that they could not use ATT but had to have a digital phone service?  Not trying to bash them, but have heard so many wonderful things, was just curious - has this happened before, or did this MT just fall through the cracks....Thank you.

Being switched around a lot.  Great company, just very private about things.  Getting frustrated with them. 

What co. are you considering now, if company was not TT?   Just wondering.

:

I am in the process of testing with Acusis. Can anyone give me the good/bad and the ugly about this company. 

TIA

consistently run out of work.  I have my resume out.   Been working there fore 6-1/2 years and now it is time to go with no work every week.

What a time to find out about the loss of their biggest client -- just before the holidays.  How many will be out of work?   

Does anybody work here or have knowledge about the company? At least as far as pay and/or benefits in comparison of some other companies?

Thanks!

Part time employees must produce 600 lines per day, or 3000 per week.  I'm pretty sure you have to be full time to receive health benefits, but I'm not sure about the 401K and PTO benefits. 

Hope this helps!

Anyone currently working for Acusis?  I would really like to find out anything about them.  TIA
