I for one am still waiting for your post as to the difference in the pay raises, incentives, base pays, bonuses and treatment of newbies versus long-term MTs at Transcend.  You said many things but when asked for specifics, you never answered.  Well, you did say you wouldn't post publically.  Well, it may be public, but you are still anon.  So, why not "ante up" as the other poster asked you to do and give us some facts to back up your statements.

You have gotten on here publically and casually thrown around negative accusations about the company.  You should expect some MTs to want some proof of what you are saying. 

It just makes me really mad that some people are careless with their comments and can turn others away from possibly being hired by a wonderful company.   I can tell you specifically why they are wonderful and have proof to back up my statements.  WELL????? 

I work for a small MTSO, a mid-size MTSO and I have a private account.  I pray my situation does not change until I can get my 6-yo child into college.  I cannot raise her to be many things that we Americans aspire to be - programmers, doctors, track stars - because our society lacks cohesiveness, integrity, sense of family.  It is just too easy to sell off what we said we would never sell or give away.  I will raise her to work in a profession immune from replacement by computers or offshoring services...but pray tell, which one would that be anymore?  Perhaps pharmacy so as to dispense all the antidepressants and mood stabilizers that are coming to be the American way of life.

I met D in 1997 when I went to work for Signal and became one of the cream of the crop in the MT industry - until Signal was sold to MQ.  Life went on and many years later I rejoined the family with deference being given to my previous work at Signal as having elevated me to a standard higher than most MTs.  I left MDI some time ago, having stayed longer than I should have.  While there was nothing on paper to say that I knew what was happening, my heart told me the truth.  All those years of D saying she would never send work offshore, and yet, where was the work?  When my primary account only recorded fewer than 100 dictations over the course of a weekend, I knew there was a duplicate system syphoning off the work, again only my gut to tell me so, no proof of it...just a dead paycheck that does not pay the mortgate.  That was last fall.  When it was anounced that VR was taking all three of my accounts and there were emails stating D hoped she had made the right choice, well what else was there to know.  It happened with Signal.  I felt I knew it was happening with MDI-MD, and now everyone else knows, too.

To all you cheerleaders rocking out here the last few days, tell me I have imagined all the posts decrying lack of work by Transcend.  Tell me it was NOT just within the last few days one of your purported MTs posted that if you are going without work, don't take it.  Just pick up the phone and ask for more work.  You cannot post now that everything is rosy and gloss over what has been posted about the T over the last couple of years.  The MTs from MDI will be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.  Do NOT pretend Transcend's endeavors in VR and offshoring will prevent loss of American jobs.  Do NOT pretend Transcend is the answer to the problem (are you listening, D??)

I will keep my accounts for now.  I am grateful I work for an American physician who would give up his practice before sending transcription out of the States (are you listening, D??).  I work for an MTSO that has clients who tried it and came back with a better understanding of why it is important to keep transcription state-side.  As for the other MTSO, well, I will see what happens there.

Shame on you, MDI and shame on you, Transcend, for trying to pretend things are rosy. 

off my  

I was disillusioned as you.  I am an acute care MT with 20+ years of experience and it just was not for me.   Although, I have to tell you that the production management team were awesome to work with up front; however, I didn't like the behind the scenes action like changing my worktypes without telling me, as well as consistently running out of acute care work.  

For example, if you  work primarily on er reports and the discharge summaries are behind, they will just take the er dictations out of your queue and you will discharge summaries for a week straight, and they don't even bother to tell you, hey the ds are backed up and we put some in your queue.   There is nothing wrong with keeping the account in TAT, but give us, the MTs, the respect of telling us. 

Also, the ES accounts are a total rip-off.  Taking 20 and 30% off the line count is a totally stealing from us MTs.  Personally, I had a huge problem with it once I saw that it amounted to $500 out of one paycheck.   That really sucked bigtime!

Let me ask you - if you are an acute care MT and was given boring clinic work or doctor letters to do all day every day, would you be happy when you were hired for "basic 4 acute care work".

These are just a few major reasons why I am gone.

Good luck to those who have stayed and I hope you are happy.  To each his/her own!

I worked for Transcend one time for 3 years, had to resign for family reasons, but was welcomed back with open arms when I came back this year.  I'm sorry I ever left and glad I came back. There is constant evolution and constant growth.  The only limitations are the ones you will put on yourself.  I just enjoy the fact that we are kept in the loop on everything that is going on --- glad I made the decision to come back. 

Hey Missourians --- BUZZ ME!  Bet there are more of us than we realize :) 

Hi,

I work on 2 accounts and 1 starts with E and the other with H and they are both on the Escription platform.

of the fact that we're only allowed to work no more than 40 hours a week?  I always used to work more than that, ever since I started full time with TT.  Of course I never expected to be payed time and a half if it was my choice to work more than 40.  Then all of the sudden strict 40 hours and no more.  What do you all think is going on? 

to work hard and go above and beyond the call of duty just because it's the right thing to do in this case to get things back in order.  That was an honest, heartfelt this morning....why don't we forget about what used to be for right now and just help out.  I thnk we'll all be glad in the long run if we do. 

COMPLETELY out of work since 2:00P.M. on a weekday!!!!  How are we supposed to pay our bills???  This is insane!!!

I don't know if your ShortHand could back up and put an 's' on the end of the word preceding, but you can do that with TASpeed (used to be able to do that with Smartype, and that's what I missed the most about it until someone found that you could do that with TASpeed.)  In TASpeed under Acronym, I use ss, then under Replacement type {bksp}s exactly that way, and then when you need to add an 's' to the preceding word, just type ss then space bar, and an 's' will automatically be added.  Can also do that with 'ly' endings, 'ing' endings, etc.  Hope this helps!

Wow, are you ever psychic!  You are either mgmt or a **wannabe**.

If not mgmt, these are your coworkers that YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, unless you know them as your personal friends, and thank God I do not know you, but on the other hand DO YOU KNOW ME!
