In Reply to: I have one suggestion..If there is no work. MOVE ON..why whine and complain on here EVERY day. I - Glad NOT to be a TT'er..
This has been going on for months and months and months. Obviously a new group of MTs over and over and they go through the same thing.

Quit whining and grow up
So, you were fired from Spheris. Probably because you couldn't cut it. You get 90 days to make your production, and if after 90 days, you aren't producing, they will cut you loose. Why should they keep people like you, who are obviously bitter, and carrying a huge chip on your shoulder, when there are other so-called newbies, with good work ethics who want to work hard, and are willing to put in the time required to get the production required. 3 months is a long time to get used to an account, and build your production. There must have been more to your firing than what you state in your post.
Hopefully you will find employment elsewhere. But, I would urge you to change your attitude, lose the chip on your shoulder and grow up. Don't blame everything and everyone around you. Take a look at your production, skills, etc. and then ask yourself again, why Spheris let you go.
i had this problem; never got it fixed and quit to move on. sm
at the time i knew of another person with the problem too and neither one of us was getting it solved. it's something with your computer, not actual pedal.
As your accounts move to India, they move you to another account. NM

Whining
Had to reply to this one. Accidently sent to her email. She thinks I'm whining. Sorry if I seem to be to anyone else. I was only trying to find out if there are others? It must be nice to be able to say Oh, I look at this as a little vacation. I am the sole provider of a 6-year-old little girl living paycheck to paycheck, so yes I do get worried when there is no work. I wasn't blaming anyone or anything. I was just curious if maybe it was just my accounts. Never expected such a reply. Always seems to be a smarta... in the bunch. Thanks all you other understanding considerate nice fellow MTs out there.
Whining
*However, what disturbs me just as much is the attitude of so many MTs. If the shoe is ever on the other foot, these MTs will be begging for someone to tell them what company is best and who pays the most, only to be told nanny, nanny, boo, boo! Why can't we help one another? What is it going to hurt to give company names? Are these MTs job scared? If not, why the cut throat attitudes? So sad!*
That is MY definition of whining. No offense, seems exaggerated description of us MTs. My day is OK, thanks
I just don't want to have to listen to the whining when this happens, as you know it will. nm

This board can be used for more than whining. SM
I personally skip over the obvious whiny posts. But when I was looking for a job, I found it invaluable to come here and read about various companies. It helped me weed out the obvious bad ones and send my resume to the better ones.
I've been doing this for 6 years - from local doctor (actually my brother-in-law) to hospital to large nationals. I tend to sacrifice speed to accuracy and take pride in my work. However, I have worked for 5 companies this year - yes, FIVE - with 4 of them (which I still consider to be good companies) unable to provide enough work for me to pay my bills, that is to say 8 hours a day, a minimum of 150 lines an hour. I have an excellent work ethic, sign on at the beginning of my shift, work 8 hours, my last QA rating as of 2 weeks ago is 100%. So, what I'm not understanding is - is it me or the companies who are mismanaging? Do I have a legitimate complaint or am I also a whiner? Something is definitely going on with this industry - and not all of it good. Let's put it all out there, the Stepfords and the whiners, and see if we can make gradual improvements to our industry.
P.S. I love my current company and finally have enough work to keep me busy - woohoo!
ah..stop your whining already..
get some work done so you can pay your bills and feed your kids LOL
Perhaps instead of whining and complaining
you should find a different profession? If you don't like your company and the way they treat you why not leave? You're allowing someone else to cause you grief and misery; most wouldn't take it, they would have enough sense to go elsewhere.
Why? Because you incite whining?
You bait people who are already hurting and when they strike back, you call it whining.
You are pathetic.
Certainly a better idea than whining along with them.
from under a bad MTSO and working in a situation that they can be proud of.
Ok, I won't. It IS hard to sing over the whining.

Nagging, whining WOMEN!!!
Exactly why I choose to work at home!!!!
Bunch of whining ladies
Andrea Renner does not care about postings here, she thinks the moderator will remove it! Seems she considers hard working participants here as bunch of whining ladies!
I just quit Medquist, hired by Etrans and quit them after one afternoon during the last two weeks!sm
Medquist made me buy a new computer to go to the "Docuscribe" system that was so much better than cottage. When I got there I took a real big pay cut to the tune of probably 30 to 40%. I was getting paid gross lines doing Cedars-Sinai operative reports. I asked for more per line and my supervisor just laughed and said you think were going to pay you $0.12 a line to just do operative reports! I said I quit. I should have said F you and your mamma too:( I had been there all together 7 years through buyouts. I am just sick of it all. I'm going to go sew my daughter a cute little Halloween outfit right now.
You may have to move on to move ahead (sm)
One way to look at what you are doing right now is more training only you are being paid for it; once you have a year or two under your belt as experience, you may be able to command a higher wage someplace else. It's funny, a place will pay more for someone with 2 years' experience than they will pay someone who has worked for them for 2 years! Go figure.
Just hate whining and complaining when there are backup accts with plenty
nm
Nope, just tired of the whining; feels like a daycare center
Seems to me all the time and energy put into this board whining over something that cannot be changed would be more wisely used either (a) learning VR or (b) putting out one's resume.
Move on from both! nm

Sometime you have to move on for (sm)
your own sanity. Working under constant pressure is not enjoyable. It is important for me to like my job. Unfortunately, I worked for a place and felt like we (many more than just I) were not being told the truth. I moved on and so did several others I know. The company lost a few excellent MTs in the process. I feel you get more with being straight up than moving through a thick smoke screen. Sorry this is happening to you, I've BTDT.
Why would you just move on? There are a lot of sm
accounts. You are going to base everything on a few bashers. There are over 300 MTs at KS, some who have been there for a very long time.
My advice? Ask for a different account or ask for assistance on the one you are on. They will help you but maybe you need to go over the person you asked.
I have heard that there is a lead who will not pass on information like that because she doesn't want to lose anyone on her accounts. I know that she is not going to be a lead very long either as I have heard that someone else is taking over her accounts. If you email me, I will help or at least will work to get the right person to do it. I know that it isn't one of my accounts as no one has asked for a change on either of mine and most have been on them over 2 years.
move
May be you need to move then!
Move on.
LOTS of better companies out there than TTS.
I had to move to QA
I broke my thumb playing softball and it still hurts to this day after several years. A lot of people in QA have had injuries of different sorts, but we obviously must have a bank of knowledge and a lot of experience as well. Unfortunately, I have seen some companies stick brand new MTs in QA for some odd reason, presumably because they are friends.
If you can consistently type for 8 hours without getting tired you can make more money as an MT.
One thing that we in QA have noticed is that it seems the highest producers also have the most errors, some of them critical errors. You can tell that they don't proofread or do live checks. They seem to be interested only in the money and not the quality.
MOVE ON! nm

Why not move on?
If you're that unhappy, why not just move on? There are lots of other jobs on the job board. It sounds like from your posts that you are a highly skilled MT and you obviously want to work. If MDI isn't working for you, then why not look for a new job?
I feel terrible for you that your experience is not good, but I don't understand why you stay. Consider taking another PT job with a different company. You could work it when the work is slow at MDI and if you find that it's better for you, then move on with the new job. I'm sure no company wants someone working for them that is that unhappy.
I know that making a change is hard, but it sounds like it's harder for you to stay than it would be to move on. Not every company fits everybody. You deserve to be happy. 
If not able to do the job, the MTs should move on
I have never worked at a job where I was asked to do so much work I could not do it. Maybe lack of get up and go or slow MTs, who knows? Why do you get the MTs are being disrespected? They can't do their job, we work production. We all put up with dictators who cannot speak clearly, chew, snort, ESLs. That is the way it has been and will be. The dictators are not changing for us. That person needs to probably find another profession.
Yeah, why would she move on??
She can belittle employees all she wants, does not answer e mails, sends snot grams on a regular basis and steal lines from the employees to fatten her own pockets.
That is a very smart move...
Perhaps that would be a better strategy for me.
This is a great move.
I believe of freedom of expression and we are just expressing ourselves. This problem must not prevail.
Yikes move on....
If this is how they hire people, imagine when it's payday!
Move on quickly...
There are other great companies out there. This really touched me, you sound like a single mom who is trying to just make the best for her kids. I feel for you! I, too, am trying to raise two kids, but work for a great national even though there has been a lot said of that, but they have been good to me. Don't feel like where you are at is the only option. There are many other places out there, just start looking and working at home really isn't so bad! Good luck to you!
Did HIP move to Georgia?
or do they have more than one office location now? Thanks!
Might have to make a move
Can you tell me how many lines you can produce a day with your Medware account and what the going line rate is for someone with 5 years experience?
No way would I take a cut for AVR. I'd rather type. Move on.

I really wish MTs would move on when a company does this to them.
I know a company who has been pulling this crap for 5 years now stating the same sorry story over and over. By 5 years, they really should have the bugs worked out, but, oh wait, she bought another new car and put in a hot tub.
Bottom line, if they are not paying on time, move on. If everyone would respect their work enough not to tolerate this more than twice, then eventually all the crap companies would either fade away or would make the necessary changes to stay in business. I really believe the MTs who continue to put up with this are perpetuating the problem. my 2 cents
Good move
Moving to Transtech would be a very good move!
Stupid move
Just because they are hiring does not always mean they currently have the work. I was with a company that was waiting for a certain type of transcription that I do. Even though the company did not yet have the transcription, they were advertising for MTs for that type of work. My sister said that do that so that they can be prepared. I am sure you made a smart move because more than likely they still wont have work to give their MTs.
Shut up and move on.
Geez.
move to another account
I tried that. After trying to break through the wall of disbelief that I wasn't making great lines. I was told by mgt *I'll get back to you about that on Monday*. Never heard another word.
Good move
I have been there for just over 2 months and love it. They are the best company I have ever worked for in my 6 years in this field. I'm sure you'll love it.
consider that is how they do business and move on!

So if I move from the Q to Diskriter, I can put if
x
Making a move?
Has anybody heard of Diskriter and if so do you know if they are a good company to work for. Their site looks interesting and their benefits look good. Thanks!
TransTech. Best move ever!

Me 2!! I just started! Best move
Do they still move the end of the pay period whenever they like.
They weren't bad to work for but that drove me crazy. I had it in my mind that the end of the pay period was on Sunday so I would work my schedule around that. So say on Friday I would think, Great, 2 more days on this pay period just to find out they were cutting it off on Saturday. I believe this was some bizarre attempt to be able to make payroll by cutting the pay periods short. I could understand if it was once or twice but it happened too many times and I find that made me nervous and wondering why you would changes pay periods so quickly without real notice. The company I work for now has their pay period dates set in stone for the whole year so I know exactly when the pay period ends and when I get paid.
I would take it as a sign and move on. NM
