your old account. You have to give yourself the time to adjust to new formatting, dictators, etc. with any new job.

That's a thought. I just found the ad very familiar and odd the second time around.
But, your reasoning makes sense. It is so hard to trust anyone these days. You never know how your dealing with when they are so secretive etc..
They used to give out $25 Amex cheques -- give them time. :-) nm
Give it time, sweetie, give it time.

Not familiar with actual company but familiar with platform some use and it is super-slick!

Give yourself a little time ---
to get used to it; it really is pretty user-friendly. If you're having problems, give the trainer a call; she's always been very willing to help me out, and give me little 'tweaks' to use.
I would give them a little time....
Lots of things going on at the current time with the new hires and new accounts, plus the weekend is coming up. I would think the beginning of next week would be reasonable to hear back. Good luck!
Give yourself a little time; however, just
consider the transcription part of it......do you enjoy the worktypes given, can you make a decent line count....do you like the platform? If you answer yes, then give yourself some time. All new jobs are overwhelming at first.
Personally, I can usually tell if the job is for me within, at most, 1 week.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
Give it time
When did you start? Give it a couple of weeks, it does get better. Will it ever be as lucrative as straight typing, no, but it's not that bad either. I actually like editing better now. I just try to work a little faster to make up for the slight difference in my paycheck.

Give them time, they will respond.
I wish you all the best!!

lol I'd give it a little time. Who knows how many tests they
Patience is a virtue.
She cannot give up her full-time job
currently because she is testing the waters. There are a lot of posters on these boards stating they feel like job hoppers. I do not think she is giving anyone a bad name. You personally make your own bed. You must be QA. QA can get on a power trip and just never let up. I have not tested or worked for a company yet that does not ping you on something or other. It is just insane out there. No wonder people want to get out of this field. Posters slamming other posters is negative and certainly not positive. We should be empowering each other, not assuming variables on other MT's situations when we really do not know. No offense, but that is just plain nastiness in my opinion. 
Just give them time. Remember, there
are 100s of people seeing these ads and sending in resumes.
Give them plenty of time. I think most
places are overrun with resumes at the moment.
It's not that the pay is never on time, it's just that they don't give you an exact date; o

By flex your time, do you mean the window they give you (sm)
or something else? I can't even get the hours in during the window for running out of work. Do you just mean make up time during the week? thanks.
Give it a rest, willya? You say that every time sm
you post about Webmedx. Maybe they were short on work when you were here, but we sure aren't now... (radiology accounts excluded - I can't speak to that).
Things can happen give it time-they are not ones to

i think the opposite, give the boot to those who are wasting everyone's time and just don't ge
the quality dropping also drops our pay for good MTs who care about quality.
Give TT some time to see if they can find cheaper plans
I also am greatly upset by the insurance hike, but I have decided to give them some time to see if they can come up with something more affordable. Like many of you, I have to insure my whole family, so this increase is astronomical.
The grass is not always greener. Changing jobs means switching out problems, and yes, some problems are easier to deal with than others. My last job (Amphion), I was so stressed out, I lost a lot of quality of life. I have young children. I can't afford to be a stressed out freak just like I can't afford the expensive health insurance. When I moved to TT, I regained my quality of life. I'm not so tired anymore, and I'm able to be a better mom. That means the world to me. I'll hang in patiently to see if another option can be found for the health insurance.
Give it time, they'll get to you. The grand plan is
my shoulder, it's a block(head). The games they play, the excuses/reasons are old, worn out, and it's aggravating to sit there staring at that NJA cyclops when others are getting the work. Dog-eat-dog is not conducive to a good work environment. We didn't create the situation but we bear the brunt.
Give it some time. I think some people aren't working today and the ice

Yes, pay on time. We give a 2-week schedule. Accounts pretty good
Why would they give you a choice of 16 or 24 hours. Usually part time is anything under 37 hours.
That is extremely odd. Well they must have something up their sleeves. Well I will be working elsewhere part time as well as with MQ as I have no intention of sitting 40 hours with no work from Amherst and be expected to have 150 lph with no work. What is all this window of work time they said they would be giving everyone. I figured all along they would do away with SE. I have already been looking around and ordered a new computer to send theirs back.

anyone familiar with . . .
Electronic Medical Transcription Services? Found them on MTJobs and would like some insight. Thanks!
Familiar
Firday entertainment or just an owner / operator looking to get feedback - maybe if they are tired of annon bellyaching, they should post their company name and let us have it lol. Mnay of us do go to the people who bring us on as IC - but as an IC they state it is rheir company and they can do as they like - and sure they can - but without good MT they will not go anywhere but India. You owners must soon come to realize that we give your company it's good (or bad) name for the work WE do - you on the other hand hold checks, bounce checks, and give us grief for your own downfalls. Good luck to you all.
not familiar with D & L? who are they

I am not familiar with SH, so not much help there...
But I did use an Expander program that boosted my productivity b/4. That was great and it helped, but I needed to take the next step. With IT, it sort of thinks ahead for you. No memorizing the shortcuts...it works differently. If you type tpwa for The patient was admitted, IT automatically brings up several words and phrases that MIGHT possibly be used next, like: to the emergency room, to the hospital, in the past, and all you have to do is use 1 or 2 more Keystrokes to add whatever phrase is dictated. If you go to textware.com, you can get the lowdown. They also have a refund policy if it does not work for you. It took me a while to get used to it, but I love it now. I also use my expander in addition to IT. I have hospital, the, and, physician, etc. under my expander as well. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I hope this helps.
Good luck!
Anyone familiar with LTS, Inc? Thanks
nm
Anybody familiar with SFT
There is a job posting on the job board by this company. Anybody know anything about this company?
Most of the ones I am familiar with you
either save up your sick time or vacation time (if they give any) or take Family Medical Leave Act with no pay.
You would not do at 4 cpl but very familiar?
I think $20+ per hour now times is pretty good salary plus with my full retirement money from SS and retirement check, I come out ok. You as others on here are doubting Thomases but those are the ones who can't cut the mustard doing it and probably never will be able to do for a good paycheck. Funny thing but the most I see for VR is 4, some has fallen to 3 and yet you are familiar,,,,, hmmmm would not do for 4. Oh, that makes a lot of sense, never do for 4 and very familiar. Do those 2 belong in the same sentence? If you really were familiar then you as a longterm MTer would not a newbie could not do.
I'm Familiar But It Was
There has been a lot of restructuring there and things are still in a state of complete disorganization. Upper management gives conflicting comments when asked questions or for clarification, turnover is high, pay for MTs has been cut repeatedly, QA requirements gets changed often, and the list goes on.......it was not a good experience and personally I'm not sure I would recommend them to anyone. If you have more questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
Anyone familiar wtih QED
Does anyone work for this company? Does anyone ave any advice on this company?
that sounds so familiar to me
I wrote the QA director regarding one incident and made my case. We, MTs, use our fingers, ears, and most importantly, our brains. Somehow, the QAs forget that we have brains and can analyze what we hear.
Anyone familiar with EZ-Scribe? (sm)
Any comments welcome!
Anyone familiar with TRX, Inc? I have an interview
Anyone familiar with Inscribe or NTI? nm
Sounds familiar..
Sounds like we work for the same company! I started a couple of months ago. It totally feels like I've come home to familiar people who treat MTs with respect. I actually like working again after a nightmare with the squid as you put it. I will never go back there - they couldn't pay me enough. I'm happy now and feel blessed to enjoy my job again.
Anyone familiar with FutureNet?
Looks like I'll ditch Transcend to sign with FutureNet. Archives have some good reviews on them whereas Transcend was completely trashed here.
Anyone familiar with DeVenture...
...I read the archived posts, but was wondering if anyone had any recent experience with them. tia!
Only familiar with one of these -- Transtech
My first question is regarding holidays - how many are you required to work? There are 6 holidays, but no pay unless you work that holiday. Required to work either Thanksgiving or Christmas each year, switching out each year, plus work one other of the holidays. ALL taken off WITHOUT pay.
What about weekends? I know some companies offer a shift differential IF you WANT to work weekends. Required to work one weekend day each week. The differential is so little that it is hardly worth it money-wise.
Another question is about PTO - do both TT and MDI offer this benefit? PTO is offered at a percentage that is approximately 3 hours per pay period. This is to be used for holidays, sick days, vacations, personal days, and OUT OF WORK DAYS -- ALL time requested off. NO other time off offered with pay. In other words, forget taking vacation, getting sick and holidays off all in one year -- NOT ENOUGH TIME OFF WITH PAY --- unless you can afford to be off without pay.
Last question is - are the work hours flexible? Do both or either require working 8-hour shifts or does either offer a minimum line count per day and then you're done for the day? No flexibility whatsoever -- as in a window to get work done. Must adhere to schedule given to them EXACTLY! You will be contacted by them if you are not on during your scheduled shift hours. Lines don't matter -- still have to be on your complete scheduled shift no matter if you have 3000 lines done.
Also does MDI lease/rent/provide computer? TT rents the computer to MT's.
Office staff are generally very friendly and call you honey, sweetie and says you guys rock if that helps in deciding which company to go with.
My..This sounds so familiar...

Sounds familiar
About a year ago, I went through the same routine you're describing, except I even went a step further and took thier test. I then got an email saying that I passed the test and someone would be getting back to me to discuss what accounts I would be working on and the pay scales for said accounts. One week went by with no word and when someone finally answers my many emails, I get the same answer you did, about how the hiring process had ended and they thanked me for my interest in thier company. Like you, I said WHAT???
Yes, it does sound familiar
Yes, I have to say if I didn't love my accounts and job at AX, I would have been gone a long time ago because of the supervisor.
It sounds familiar to me
With the exception of the not logging the OT on your timesheet, it sounds like MQ.
I know everyone has asked you who you work for, so I will not. However, if it is the Q, you should do something. Even though the pay sucks because of VR, you have to be compensated for OT, and you have to log those hours.
Are you classified as an employee with the company you work for? Are you working FT with OT or PT with OT? I believe it is a violation of labor law not to get compensated for it. Some states, that is past 8 hours per day, some it is based on how many hours per week you work.
That sounds really fishy to me to be told not to put the OT on your timesheet. I just don't get that. You really need out and I wish I could help. I am working on getting a new position myself.
Some of these companies take FOREVER to get back to you. I put in a resume at one place in early January and just heard back from them last week. Keep your chin up. I must say, though, with 30 years experience, you should be making more than 8 cpl. I have 10 years and make a little more than you.
Sounds familiar....
Superior Globe actually pulled this same routine on me. I had just ordered a new computer when she called with the job offer. I told her I could start in 5 days, when the computer arrived. She said no problem. I sent her the specs for the computer which I had in transit and she cleared it with their tech department and said it would be no problem. I emailed her with updates on where the computer was and she responded great, couldn't wait for me to get started. I emailed her the day it arrived, very excited thinking I would be able to start on Monday (the computer arrived on a Friday)....
And, you got it, after all that hoopla, she NEVER emailed me back once I was ready to roll.
What the heck is wrong with these places???
Not familiar with CC Trans. Who is it, won't sm
be helpful in any way without company name,
That does sound familiar.
The first e-mail I got said I had 24 hours to complete their test. I work for Q now and thoroughly hate it.
