You cannot always arrange your life to work OT even
IF you wanted to work OT.
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

Sure. To the suits but not to the MTs.

I liked the suits at first -
until I found out what monsters they were.
that's right, the Suits
I meant my company's top executives, who think we should be able to produce 60% more, and were probably told this by other Suits. I'm sure none of them have any transcription experience.
No suits here....
... I don't even own a suit. Well, actually I do, but I've outgrown them, if you know what I mean.... But I'm just a minion and proud of it. I've been a manager and a supervisor. No thanks. The money was nice but it cost me too much.
I only post what I've been told by people I trust, and based on my own experience. And, as I always say, others' mileage may vary....
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
I think most here would agree that going to the suits with any of our (sm)
problems ends up being useless. However, these boards are a good place to vent a little steam. If it weren't for a little venting once in a while, I reckon it'd be fairly easy for many of us to finally lose our cool, go Postal on our supes, and end up on the 6:00 news getting dragged off in handcuffs.
I believe it was actually a big meeting of suits,
ya know, the real thinkers and shakers, at some annual meeting or something. I know of one manager who had to slink back to the office - there were offices in those days - with his tail between his legs, as the word beat of the monkeys beat him back to the office. It was horrible. Happened probably a good 10 years ago, though, so its been their mentality for a long time.
Suits, I hope you know
how serious this is, and how profoundly you are impacting the lives of many hardworking MTs and their families. You are going to have a very unhappy workforce. Not a good thing.
Suits Salaries and Perks
What someone said on another thread got me to wondering about the salaries of those at the top. I googled the head of Transcend and came up with this on a Forbes article. Not too shabby. This was for 2007.

Webmedx SUITS, read this
We know you read the boards. During the call tomorrow when you tell everyone just how much pay is cut we want to hear how much you've cut your own pay.
You've told us how efficient and productive this ISR technology makes us. So as we're getting more efficient and productive, you must certainly be getting more efficient and productive. Therefore, we'll want you to tell us about your own pay cut on the phone call on September 22.
Also, we want an answer as to why we never get annual raises BEFORE this economy went to pot. What was your excuse then when you talked about how business was booming and you went and bought a transcription school? Why didn't you give your employees a raise?
You market yourself as the REMARKABLE leader in the industry, touting your status as hiring only domestic workers. Well, wouldn't it be remarkable to give your employees regular raises? What's remarkable about yet another company who pays MTs crap wages, doesn't regularly give raises, has low work volumes, and is cutting pay? That's pretty run-of-the-mill in my opinion.
Are you making what you made 10 years ago? No? Then why should we be making what me made 10 years ago? Remember, we're working for the REMARKABLE Webmedx. Do something remarkable to earn that adjective, please.
Check the Laws and lost suits
Anything you post on a public chatboard or in a chatroom can be used against you by your employer as reason for termination if they so desire, and you will lose in court if you try to sue them. Plenty of these suits lost since the Internet started.
I worked for a bad legal transcription firm for 3 wks - fired after I posted on a legal chatboard (along with tons of others) - within hrs of posting some stuff. Definitely was why - no doubt. I then began researching whether this is legal - and by god it is. I used an anon name and no email. This co later had all neg posts regarding his co removed from the site.
As to this chatboard - the co I just left had many, many posts removed because they did not like their content.
Fortunately most cos recognize the need of folks to vent and don't want to be bothered. But some of these smaller cos really monitor posts, and mgmt posts as if they were MTs in response to neg posts or just to toot their own horn.
The suits and facilities often control dictation, not

MQ good until Jan. 2006, when the devils in suits took over. nm
That's the attitude that keeps the suits rolling in cash.

Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.

It's not law, but it's usual general policy to avoid law suits. nm

good, let them do all the India work, and take all the hits for law suits...
I wish they would monopolize the India market and totally stick with that...
I also posted an article about this a few weeks back, even with pictures of the offices in India (lot nicer than here).
hope they put all their money into it and then when technology takes all our jobs, they will have nothing.
Medquist, hate it or not, has invested rather in the technology, thereby will be the leaders in that. if I worked there I would train and learn everything I could about working with that technology because that eventually, in my opinion, will drive even Indian MTs into unemployment.
WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone

It is the real deal. Back to not every company suits every one.
I have been there 2+ years and never had any problems. I make good money, have a good account, don't get bounced around, and have good management. The recruiter is very good to try and answer your questions or you can email me and I will tell you what I know.
"The Suits" is the proper term for these people.
There are Suits in every industry. They are the MBAs and they consider business a giant chess board. So much fun to move all the little pieces around and see what happens. Don't be afraid to sacrifice your pawns.
Annoying, Condescending, Uppity Snakes in Suits
They're always slipping these things in casually at the end of the day. Stupid suits.

Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Yep. It's the greed of the suits and the greed of the

You dont have to tell me..
I see it quite clearly. Some of that stuff is just plain crap, and it takes longer to change every other word or heading, etc. than to just type it yourself. Trust me, I know the game they are running. I am just trying to prevent others from going through the same thing a lot of us are going through right now. All of this could have been avoided by just having a little more consideration towards their MTs. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why we should have had to work for 12 days and not know what we were making--NO REASON. I think this really shows just how much they really DON'T care about us as MTs, and that makes me both sad  and angry  .
I dont know why
WHY what did your lawyer think?
dont do it
there are jobs out there that are more dependable. Dont go there. Not right now. Honestly, the system is new and there have been many new changes implemented. They are still in the process of making changes and it is a mess. The system has so many bugs in it that it is constantly going down and screwing up. There are times that it is down for hours and hours. You cannot depend on getting your line count in. Also, there is lack of work on many, many accounts way too often. They are going to editing and you will only get paid about 4 cpl. It is a mess. Please look somewhere else.
Dont do it. Dont take the job. You will
really regret it. I was laid off from my hospital job and went to work for a national and it has been the absolute worst experience. My income has gone down so much that I leave the answering machine on now because the bill collectors are calling me every day. The security of knowing that you are paid by the hour no matter what makes all of the difference in the world. When the national has platform problems, computer problems, no work (which happens frequently), etc. you are NOT PAID. You just have to sit and wait until THEY fix it. The benefits are nothing like you get working in house and they are so expensive. I just really think you should consider all of these factors and understand that it is very different from working for a hospital.
At least it has been for me, they dont TELL you to sit and
and I dont if I dont want to. If I have otherthings to do, I do them. Places to go, I go. As FT though, I do make up the hours or use PTO (which I hate doing) and really more now since my company took any PTO over 40 hours we had not used as of 12/31.
I dont know but it
is a paid ad, so they have to still be in business. They can't be too hard to find on Google or they would damage their business dealings. Sorry, I just saw the banner and knew people were questioning their existence.
I just dont do it
I personally do not accept a job that pays low. I can understand if you need the job yesterday; but with forethought and planning, a seasoned Transcriptionist should NOT work for peanuts EVER! I try not to accept less than 10 cpl, period; 9 cpl is really easy account as a subcontractor of course.
DONT DO IT! nm

DONT DO IT
DON'T DO IT...they ARE the same company as in the Phillipines operated by a very nasty CEO that will NOT pay you. She has been sued so many times for non payment. Not good people to work for.
DONT DO IT
YES they are the same company in Tennessee and the Phillipines. I use to work in both offices...trust me...DONT DO IT...very nasty owner, short fuse and will NOT pay you!

I dont know about everyone else, but my PC
In the last coupla weeks, it's slowed down about 50%.
You dont have to have radar here
Agree with poster above who said that only you can change things for yourself. Maybe shouldnt have used the terms babies. Fine, okay, I'll admit that. And I dont take anything on here personally. All I am saying is that all anyone does anymore is complain. It is tiresome and old.
you work there dont you? You tell us

Dont you wish someone would have warned you?...
I have gotten a lot of grief for trying to warn people about what was happening to me and others and that it would soon be happening to a large majority of you. I think it is a duty that we should all have. Why would you let someone else go through something horrible if you could possibly stop it. I loved the "old" Transcend and its management--not too happy with the "new" Transcend or its management. However, that is my opinion. I see there are many others with the same opinion, and these number will continue to grow if Transcend does not wake up. I was a "Current Transcender" until now. I just can't do it anymore. I tried to fight the good fight and hold on to them (at least until I found something else better), but my children need to eat, and I have a mortgage and bills to pay. I can no longer be a Transcend cheerleader. I was a cheerleader in the past and referred other MTs to the company (all of whom left before I did), but it is just a really "bad" place to work as far as wages go. I have to do what is best for me now. I can't go bankrupt for Transcend. Thank God I had the wisdom to find another job to supplement early on in this "transition" process. If not, I would be homeless now. I certainly do not wake up every day with my only purpose being to bash Transcend. I had to be honest with myself and others or I couldn't sleep at night. I wish all of you the best and hope you and Transcend figure it all out before it is too late for you.
Dont worry,
I never got a phone call, but got my packet today.
One word......DONT'!
