We all have our own agenda
and I tend to move cautiously and not burn any bridges. Thank you though for your opinionated suggestions regarding my options. I have a couple part-time private accounts also that pay well and have my reasons for waiting to move on.
No agenda here. Still reeling from the shock
I don't know how long you've worked for Transcend. I was hired in the last six months at 8 CPL, and I had a great account. I loved my job. I transcribed between 20,000-23,000 lines per pay period. Everyone told me how happy they were with my work quality and with my production.
During the last month or so, my line count has begun a rapid downward spiral. The pay period for me, because of my schedule, ended today, and I just managed to squeak through with 11,000 lines to keep my benefits. I'm not editing yet. I'm still transcribing. If this is happening while I'm transcribing, what is my line count going to be when I do begin editing? My account has suddenly been overstaffed, without warning, without any explanation whatsoever. Like I said, I have a great account and used to make very good money. I've questioned this and was offered additional accounts. I'm still thinking about this, but my preliminary conclusion is that I wasn't hired to do other accounts. I was hired to do this one. I'm resisting the other accounts (so far) because I fear that ALL my work on my current account will disappear and be given to the new person. I was there first, and I don't understand why I should have to make less money while learning a new account, while the newest person will able able to make the money I used to make. Secondly, if I have to learn a new account, I may as well do it at a company that is fair, loyal to its employees and trustworthy, if such a company exists. I'm beginning to think that a smaller company might be less hazardous to your life. I'm still considering another account, but I'm quickly losing respect and trust for this company.
My income has more than been cut in half without any warning. I'm no longer earning any incentives, and I've found myself just sitting at the computer like a zombie, clicking the "refresh" key to see if I can manage to snag a job that's been dictated within the last 10 seconds or so. I know I can't go on like this because I can no longer pay my bills and that I have to make a decision very quickly.
I don't know how long you've been there. If it's been for years, then maybe you won't have a problem. Maybe the job security you feel is justified. If you're fairly new, you can take my situation for what it's worth. Just please don't think it can't happen to you. I didn't think it could happen to me.
okay nervous nellies, consider the source and their agenda
there are so many people that want to see the 'giant' fall -- they throw out statements with nothing to back it up -- hoping everyone runs scared and they can help MQ fall. Well it ain't gonna happen. You provide no facts. Every thing this company is doing shows it is improving and getting stronger. So go cry in a corner and quit the chicken-little theatrics of "the sky is falling!!". MQ is the biggest and getting better and has a lot of happy MTs that are too smart for your antics.
How are they pushing?
In what ways is MQ pushing a lot of VR with radiology? Do you know how they pay for radiology VR? Every pay hourly, or just by productivity?
Pushing VR?
The MTSOs do not push VR to the clients, they contract to provide a service. The developers of the voice recognition software are very busy contacting CIOs and HIM directors who have made decisions quite on their own to jump on that bandwagon. The MTSOs should not be blamed for everything.
I'm not pushing myself in that 5 hours - sm
I'm sure if I did, I would be doing a heck of a lot more, but I actually have time to do other things while I'm transcribing in that 5 hour time period. I'll be getting a bump up in pay in the next few weeks. But it is a seriously easy account.
They are also pushing VBC line, too.
And they are pushing for year end for all accounts to be on DQS so they can get more work on ASR,
more work overseas and then begin to push EMR. This is the beginning of MQ not needing MTs like they did and that is why they now eliminated SE because everyhing is in place. That is the game plan.
Webmedx isn't slow - lots of OT posted and they are pushing sm
to hire a lot of MTs due to new accounts coming on in the next few months.
That wasn't my experience there. I wasn't on that kind of all-inclusive acct, either. nm

HAHAHA
Thought it was Miller time? LOL
HAHAHA.
H
hahaha
now that was funny ;-)
hahaha
Constantly ran out of work to QA and was expected to type in order to make any money.
Not sure why you are complaining. You make NO money doing QA for DSG, typing is the way to go.
....and then there is there fabulous HAHAHA $12.50
Downtime? hahaha
There has been no mention of that and I'm sure it wont happen.
When the system is fixed, the most we'll get is double the amount of emails telling us how much work there is and how we all need to give us food/sleep/bathroom time to get it caught up.
I know how to do ESLs hahaha
Where did you get the impression that I do not know how to do ESLs! I have done them for years at above 99% QA for crying out loud but 80% you cannot make a living doing, at least the kind of living I want! I am only willing to do 20-30% and have never settled for less.... My question was about VR, not ESLs.
hahaha welll.. (sm)
I'm a tier III and still don't get paid for op notes, so don't feel toooo bad - my cpl is less than yours. ;)
Hahaha! I think she finally got it...She
should have exited with a formidable
'I screwed up'....LOL,
same with 'deenibeeni' !

Sorry couldn't resist
Hahaha! That's too funny! You tell 'em! nm
Hahaha! LMAO, you are hilarious!...nm

yeah..where they dump all those old IBM SelectricS!!!hahaha--nm
s
Hahaha, you silly, that is a stock photo of a
making a big deal out of a picture. You just love stirring up stuff, don't you?
Oh great - Another psychic employee!! HAHAHA
How about just saying yes, it is 70% of your line rate instead of making up rumors.
Hahaha, don't hate me, but I have the beautiful NJA screen right now!!
And I am very happy to see it. Off to drink a hot cup of coffee and bask in the warmth of the morning sunshine.
Ta-ta.
Amen to that.. and we are mad as heck are not taking it anymore...HAHAHA
You're right! Hahaha My typo totally messed up the meaning!
Yes, MQ is aware of my other position. I was very up front with them when I took their offer. Spheris probably would not be happy about my situation, I agree.
My other comments were made because no matter what I post, someone has got to be interested in what I'm doing or not doing, whether they think it is right or not, etc.
My whole post on this thread was an answer about great companies. I posted. Then, if you'll go back and look at this entire thread, I am the one getting all the virtual "you can't do that" complainers on my back.
It's not anyone else's business. One of the OPs started it I suppose with the trying to tell me I can't post on this forum because I work for Spheris and I can't use their computer. Then others chime in. Then others start in with what they think I can and cannot do.
It's none of anyone's business. I wasn't addressing any of those subjects whatsoever.
I seem to be prime fuel for the flaming activities, regardless of the subject of my posts. Even if I respond to others, 9 times out of 10 I get flamed and for other subject matter most of those times.
Hahaha, you are right in your answers to some of the other posters. You and I are having an adult conversation and understanding each other well, even if we disagree. THAT is how it should be.
As I answered you somewhere in this same thread, I understand what you were bringing to light for others who may not realize about working for more than 1 company. It is a gamble. I agree wholeheartedly.
It isn't just the competition between Spheris and MQ though. That expectation is with other companies as well, maybe not all, but most. And most, if you read the employee handbook imply that they do not want their employees on forums like this.
One of the OPs stated that I signed a contract with Spheris forbidding me to be on this forum. No ma'am. That simply isn't true. I went back and looked at everything I've signed. I've signed no such contract. There may be an implied policy but I have not signed any such contract.
I personally think that each company has really good aspects. I can also see where each could improve. That will be with any company though. As long as I am well paid and have flexibility and opportunity, I'm a happy clam.
Hahaha! Pitiful and ridiculous comment. A lot of posters, as 1 poster even mentioned
in this thread, immediately stop reading a post full of GRAMMAR mistakes, NOT typos, before getting the 'issue.'
How can one respect the opinion of a poster whose grammar is a catastrophy, especially from an MT?
The 1st question that pops into my head is, 'How did this person get an MT certificate?' I am not talking about typos, incorrect grammar only.
This comes at the same time they are pushing this TAT time. I have no intention of sitting here on a
set schedule for no work. The only reason I get work now is working erratic hours when there is work so I think anyone that works for Amherst better put down on their time schedule they send in they will be working when there is work. The worst thing that can happen is you get canned for working different hours and if there is no work who cares. They surely dont care about SE do they. They just pull the rug out and expect all these people with second jobs to adjust and quite frankly a lot of them wont be able to so I think it tells you they probably dont care about those people. I think with ASR and EMR they figure they can just trim the work force and the first they dont care about are those with other jobs using this as a second income or spending money. Pretty obvious to me.
Hahaha. Good April Fool's Day joke but gotta break the news to ya,
:+
Wasn't right for me at all. nm
s
it wasn't a can you help out, it was I need everyone
to work extra.
wasn't for me
pay was directly tied to quality and number of blanks you left.
Are your sure her name wasn't
I even talked with the owner over the discrepancies of my checks. He gave me his word that the problem would be fixed --- it never was. Your right, they should be sued, but who has the time and/or money to do such? That's why they're still around. One other thing -- I can't believe that a company like this is allowed to advertise on this website. We have to follow rules as an MT when we chat. Why shouldn't companies have the same stipulation. With all the negativity with this company (and I can back it up with phone records, paystubs, etc), they should be banned from advertising here, or anywhere else!
No, she wasn't.
nm
Boy, it sure wasn't that way when I was there...sm
We were always behind, it seemed, and always asked to type more, more, more. I'm not defending OSi, but this was in later part of 2006. Wonder what has changed? I can't believe, if this is the MK account, that they would send charts overseas. They were so !#$# picky (MK) that I got put on probation for some really, really tiny errors. Took me for a whirl and hurt my feelings, big time.
I had to quit just from mere principle. Harsh, very harsh! I can't imagine, from the quality I understand comes from India, that they would get away with making any errors whatsoever. Neither here nor there now, I'm just amazed at how fast things changed.
thanks - I wasn't using the right box
sounds like mixed reviews. Guess you never know til you try it yourself.
It wasn't MTs that were let go, it was QA, as that
is now going to India. I wonder how many accounts that CBAY will have this time next year.
A company that I used to work for offshored work to India. First it was just overflow because they couldn't stay in TAT, but then company saw how much they could save and sent more work to India. The problem is they weren't QAing the work and was of such poor quality that the lost the account, which ultimately cost them their business.
**wasn't

It wasn't all THAT bad for me
I will admit when I first started with Amphion, I HATED it! However, I was there for 4 months and only left because I was offered better pay somewhere else, also I was really running out of work bad on my primary account, I assume from overhiring.
It is true about the mandatory OT, but I liked the money, so I did do some. When I didn't do the OT, I was not reprimanded. I attempted to quite because of the QA person on my accounts was really condescending and I just couldn't take it anymore. I was talked into staying by the supervisor I had and I was even offered (later) a QA position there, but didn't take it. My supervisor there was fantastic and wonderful. I know they have other supervisors, but I couldn't tell you how they are/were.
I fell upon hardtimes close to Christmas and was having to move back to my mother's to take care of her house, my husband lost his job, and after explaining my situation to my supervisor, they sent me a 300.00 dollar check to help me with getting the lights turned on at my mom's house. I was informed I did not have to pay that back, but under the condition that I help someone else in need. I did feel appreciated at Amphion, but as I stated, I needed higher pay and I needed affordable insurance. With my account running so low with work, I just couldn't do those things, and it really made me sad that I had to leave.
Yes, they are very picky about quality and really some of it was so minute that it was ridiculous. However, if something ever happened with the company I am at now, I would go back. Under the condition I was with the same supervisor.
Anyway, I wish you the very best of luck with finding the company of your dreams. I am now with Axolotl and like it very, very much. Of course, there are a few bumps just about anywhere you go, but I enjoy my job.
Good luck and take care 
Wasn't here for that
so I couldn't say. I generally only pop in to research a company I may be considering because I know this is where to go to hear all the actual negatives and then some about a company which is why I felt compelled to say that my experience has not been the same as the other people. But whatever. I'll just take my positivity elsewhere since it apparently is unacceptable on this board. Oh, and I didn't take Carlotta's email that way. Then again, I'm not the one on here complaining.
No that wasn't me
MT Chat? How do I find that? Thanks
Are you saying your pay wasn't cut?
.
Yes, it wasn't... Not yet, anyway.
So am I waiting for the other shoe to drop? That's why I said I'm feeling MORE paranoid, not less.
Thanks! At least I know I wasn't seeing
things (or not seeing them as the case may be). :)
Hey, that wasn't me!
Someone else is using the name fed up but I am not that person.
I wasn't
arguing!? I was just stating my opinion... or is that not allowed anymore?
