Maybe YOU should do some research before you jump all over somebody. WHen a person just mentions a name, it doesn't necessarily mean a transcription company.

For crying out loud
Why would you wait for weeks - are you new to this industry?
This is COMMON practice and I don't care how big or small the company is... Many are just advertising for clients they HOPE to get soon - many are poorly organized and/or UNDERstaffed for administrative purposes.
Make it a rule to apply for MANY jobs at once; you'll be lucky if two are hits and then you can choose the best fit for you.
Always ask up front: Do you tie payment for work done to payment received by your client?
Is this opening immediate or for the future?
If you ask the right questions up front and they don't perform, start sending more resumes ASAP.
Take it from someone who learned the hard way.
Nice holiday spirit. For crying out loud.....
This is still a democratic country, is it not? Why is it that if people don't agree with YOU or the bandwagon cheerleaders for a company, they get bashed? I worked at TT and found it to match all of the complaints that are read on here. That doesn't mean it's not a good company - just not a good company for ME (and others, by the way). CHILL..................
And stop buying foreign cars for crying out loud. sm
Look at the 10s of thousands of workers who are being laid off from GM and Ford after giving decades of their lives. Thanks to all you people who buy foreign cars. 
High horse
You make some good points but the vast majority of MTs don't apply to your condescending e-mail. Glad I don't work for you. You find some poor employees in any industry, and the few bad apples in the MT business are not the reason work is being sent overseas where the work is even worse quality (but done with a smile - I give you that). Whatever - I will just be glad when this post has moved on to another page.
Come down off our high horse
I used to have excellent credit too until my husband lost his job and I had surgeries 9 months apart. There are circumstances that do cause people to lose their credit.
Maybe some bad luck should hit you and then you would understand how some of us feel!!!!
Come Down Off Your High Horse!!!
It sounds like you have spent too much time at the beach listening to the waves and in the sun as your brain is fried. Who do you think you are talking to anyone this way???
I have a good job, make good money and I always have work but your attitude is just right down horrible.
Since you don't spend much time here, I think you should just probably stay totally away if this is the kind of attitude you bring when you do decide to be here.
I don't see you on a high horse...sm
I agree with you 200%
Get off your high horse already
I have researched anything and everything I have ever delved into thoroughly before jumping on it. If a newbie jumps right in without researching first, it is their own dang fault. Geez.
You are on a very high horse
Might want to come on down and sit in the horse stuff with the looser MTs....waaaah
Well, come down off that high horse
you seem to be on. Where do you get that Now Let Me Tell You Something. First of all, who are you and what does it matter. You talk like that to your kids, not to another grown person. Sissy, go back to mothering now, ok? More experienced MTs know the 3 day leave for a funeral, newbies seem not to know.
Wow 8 years and already on a high horse? you
would be a good QA person one day, NOT
Funny, been on my *high horse* for 20 years!
x
Just a matter of time before she will be off her high horse
Medware used to be a stable company. I wonder if their advertisement will now say Used to be AAMT company of the year - or Please sign up with us- we will help you be eligible for welfare - or better yet Happy MT week, your job has been phased out.
Get off your high horse and go work your management job...sm
This is a board for opinions, isn't it? So don't tell me to get my facts straight.
Oh dear goddess, climb off of your high horse...
I've been doing this 20 years, half of that from home. If YOU don't feel the need to be appreciated ONCE A YEAR, then you're name says it all, ma'am....
You HAVE been an MT far TOO LONG.
*Laughing at your post and superiority complex*
You sound like an ex-friend I used to have that was on a high horse all the time. BOY am I glad I
She was always so quick to point out everyone's faults, preaching about what you SHOULD be doing, while at the same time, doing everything wrong herself. I believe that is why she has no friends. People don't like to be around that.
They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x
x
I should also mention that I do straight transcription, not editing.
I have never run out of work.
Why can't someone mention the company by name? Thanx. nm
Forgot to mention, the company I went to between MQ and where I am now (sm)
was MDI-MD.
Of course it is okay to mention company names, this
is the company board.
I think you can still mention company names, just not individuals (see message)
I work for a national and my deductible is $500 also per year.
Very high turnover rate at this company (sm)
You have to ask yourself why do they lose so many employees. This is not an MT oriented company. I would say that they constantly advertise because they regularly lose MTs.
Is there any company that doesn't have high ESL now days? nm
.
Good company. Pays higher than many. Very high
Pay is always on time (early if payday is on a holiday). Good transcription software. Approachable, friendly management. Benefits okay. (Blue Cross). Also eye & dental. 401K that they also contribute to. Pretty much straight typing, not much in the way of templates. VR in place on some accounts. Currently MT has the choice of using it or not. All in all, I'm satisfied with working there.
I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
High insurance costs are a national problem, not just in MT. My husband's company sm
charges us $210.00 per paycheck for him, me and our 2 children. The deductible is $500, each visit costs us $25, prescriptions are $10 for generic and $25 for everything else. It is getting crazy everywhere.
who's crying??????
nm
WebMedX is a good company. Decent pay for high level acute care
They have excellent account managers and a great QA dept. The platform is really quite easy with the improvements they have made, and they are constantly working to make it even better. Everything is geared to making the MT's job easier. I have been with WMX for over a year and I am quite pleased with them.
You're the one who came here crying.
Boohoo, poor you, aren't making enough money at $21/hour. I can understand you not wanting to read this crap. You're not even happy getting $21/hour to read crap, so reading this for free must be doubly painful. Enjoy your box.
I'm crying over here laughing so hard
no message so you don't have to bother looking inside the post. I thought same thing when I first got here...thought boy is this NM lady annoying. LOL!
For crying in the corn. I had to chuckle at that.
Thank you for making me smile.
My accounts are crying for overtime. What's up I wonder? NM
,
OMG. Did you really sound that out loud? nm
nm
Loud and Clear.
..
OMG, I burst out loud on that one! NM
x
Shhh! Don't say that too loud!
nm
Well for sobbing out loud
Who said anything about stopping change????
hahaha... I HATE that loud, -
.
I used to laugh out loud at the VR-produced
nightly news on the TV sets at my local gym. I'd be watching it while using the treadmill, elliptical trainer or StairMaster, and would occasionally belt out a 'Bwa-ha-haaa!' at something the VR had written. Got more than a few stares from my fellow gym-goers, who probably thought I was nuts. The humor of VR sure did make my workouts go by quickly, though!
Its a message board for cryin out loud!
To bad we can't come on here and state our feelings or vent our frustrations without having to worry about all this. Some posts are over the line, but most are just people who want a place to talk to others in the same boat they are. I think the ones who are trying to dissect the posts to figure out who they are written by need to spend a little more time working!!!
LL ahh c'com on. IF ans out THERE loud & clear, not riled up MTs
If know very well LL, if the ans were avail in first place and some MT did not know the ans, and posted upsetting things, he TRUE answer WOULD be posted by other MT and you know it.
People get upset not knowing, then speculation begins what else can they do.
I guess you live in a vacuum! Search this board, for crying outloud! SM
A couple of weeks ago there were several former JLG employees posting how they were fired from doing SR and were not even offered MT positions! I'm not trying to hide anything and I don't appreciate you insinuating I'm a liar!
You want to know who I am, email me! My information is from firsthand experience!
I do not see you on any horse either
You have a right to your opinion and I respect you for it. You said what others want to say, but do not want to be criticized for saying.
This was from the horse's mouth.
Perhaps you need to get a new horse.
Remember the packet changes are effective January 1, not today.
It's unfortunate you aren't being paid for downtime. I was paid several times for 40 hours, when my hours fell short.
I see the packet as MQs move to finally consolidate EVERYONE onto the same plan of management so this ridiculous "but my office says and it's true" stuff can stop.
The horse's mouth would be
The Administrator can only go by what she is told by the company directly or an MT has to produce proof that they offshore before she prevents them from posting on this board.
from the horse's mouth
Per company e-mail from Transcend CEO, the merge is with Transcription Relief Services.
No? The horse is at the glue
nm
Yup - horse i out of the barn, that's for sure.
,

the Qnet rules. tellher to go lookit up.
