In Reply to: Agree, lol. I dont even work there & I can tell - who the suits are, lol. nm
And might I just add, what slimy little WORMS all suits really are! They sell their integrity and their souls for their do-nothing jobs in an already top-heavy industry. Considering the mood of their workforce these days, I'd actually be SCARED to be one of them right now.

In her defense, (sm)
so many of us have had broken promises (not by this company but by others) that we almost expect it. 
SPI Defense
HI,, Time to see a positive mess,,, I currently work for SPI,, left them about 2 years ago for a short time and came back,,,yes the work is low right now,, but,, I ALWAYS get my lines per day and more and I think it is because I ASK for more work when I run out and my AM always has more than enough for me. There are some out there that will not venture beyond their comfort zone and try a new account. Why not I just don't understand.. sit there and do nothing or type slower than normal and learn a new account type. I am not management so dont try that.LOL.. I love what I do and that is why when I left and realized the grass is not always greener I came back home to SPI. Dont' slam me with raves and rants.. this is only my feeling and thoughts.
In Defense of Webmedx
Webmedx has ESL dictators, but then again, so does every other company out there! ESL dictation is part of the MT world that will never go away. If you can't handle ESL dictation, then perhaps it's time to look at another career choice.
In defense of Transtech
OK I have worked at several companies and TT tech support are actually the nicest I have seen and respond the quickest. What I like is that I can pick up the phone and they will fix the problem immediately. I don't have to wait for 3 days for an answer.
Folks, you have to give them something to work with. It is not easy for them to stream in when they have no idea what kind of crap you have on your PC, if you play games, if you swap files, if you have spyware, viruses, etc.
A few years ago I was a supervisor at another MTSO and was shocked to find out just how little MTs know about their own computers. MTs should be able to fix most of their own PC problems or they have no business using them to make a living in the first place. Some of them constantly open a ticket with tech support for piddly stuff that a 10-year-old could fix. Take a computer course, for Pete's sake - so tech support can help you with real problems. It is so unnerving to hear I don't know or I can't do that when you could if you knew how your computer works. Nothing but excuses. Read your manuals.
The other thing is to be honest with tech support no matter what company you work for. If you tear up your computer tell them instead of playing a guessing game with them.
Really people... grow up and be responsible. If you don't know how to work on your own computer to some degree, find another profession.
I guess this sounds mean but you need to look at it from their perspective sometimes. I hope I don't offend anybody.
DEFENSE for defamation
Is the truth. Hopefully they are prepared for that - judging by the posters here, they may want to close that can of worms sooner rather than later.
In their defense, if I remember correctly, their name
was very similar to at least 1 other and possibly 2 other transcription companies. I don't know if that was the reason for the change or not.
A blindly written defense regardless of logic
I don't know how many, but just because 1 or a few are having a bad time doesn't mean they are lying no matter how small of a percentage they comprise. I never said they are all sister MTs sharing the good word. I said this is a place also for MTs to share and support each other when they feel they are in a bad spot, not just share the good word on a company...sometimes there are problems and they want support anonymously. There were 2 posters specifically that had intelligent well-worded concerns they voiced (and I believe one said at the risk of being bashed even)...that seems scared to me and they seemed to be real concerns, asking if it was just them or were others having the same problem. Their posts didn't come across at all as company bashing. And who are you? Do you know the poster, Carlotta either? or are you her? How do you know what she does or doesn't do or who she can weed or cannot weed out unless you are her posting under different names as you accuse others of doing? & she didn't say come to me IF...it was much harsher and dismissive than that. But I tell you what, I've actually got better things to do at this point than argue because people are going to believe what they want to about any company regardless of what is said. It is just sad to see people come here for support and then have to fear being weeded out because they sought honest advice and help and find their boss coming after them on here seeking to find out who they are and calling them liars. So, I respectfully disagree with you. The whole tone of her post, to me, proved more than discounted what she set out to prove/discount by writing it. have a good night!
In OP's defense, there are a great many questionable posts
Regarding TT by disgruntled employee(s), so I'd be more comfortable if she emailed me rather than post here and be flamed by those cyberbullies that totally derail ANY discussion of TT with their unbridled hatred of the compnay.
JMHO.
In defense of poster with typos...Sometimes when you use so many expanders(fortunately = fty for me
so I bet she is a high producer 'cause she has awesome expanders... don't typos happen to you on the bo ards sometimes? Or you hit enter too soon and your post looks like a first-grader typed it out...
Haha Hey, I know! ....
I'm not the pro-Spheris or pro-MQ cheerleader everyone thinks I am.
There are some items that could definitely use some tweaking or revamping!
Oh ok...haha....sm
I was about to say Hey, where is my downtime pay? But that sounds like you have a great set-up with your job....at least you know you will get some sort of pay. Too bad everyone doesn't get that!
HaHa
Haha!!
X
haha
Sorry, but I thought I was the only one living in BFE...LOL.
Haha
Medquist is now owned by Indians. I think people just left before they were let go down the road.
haha
...
Sure, come here and keep it quiet. haha sm
haha, I think she just did, on this board!
x
funny haha??
Actually the funny thing was that there was always just one I like them post - not that you would not use your name. I am glad you had no bad experiences, like I said that is one. No personal problem here - I put my running shows on some time ago. Sorry you took things so personally - was not my intention.
haha - if it says "USA", then it's probably
x
LOL HAHA LMAO, etc.
Funny how all the people who claim to think VR is the greatest, simplest thing since the microwave also come back later to state that they have alternate sources of income. Based on their postings, I suspect some of their other income comes from writing fiction.
HaHa...you are contradicting yourself
You just said that you were supposed to start working around noon the other day. Why would you have to send an email saying that you would be starting late if you don't have a schedule? You are contradicting yourself.
I am done with the back and forth with you. If you like working for them, good for you. ICs are not supposed to be locked into a schedule like an employee. If you were truly an IC, there would be no need to email anyone to tell them that you were going to be starting 'late'.
The only reason an IC should have to email them is if they were not able to work at all on a particular day.
They are breaking the law and they will be dealt with. Me and one other person in this thread have worked there and been treated like an employee when we were ICs. I am sure there are others.
HAHA DUH...Guess what?
Those MTSO recruiters take valuable time to sift through hundreds of applications to try to pick out the most qualified, best 'fit' for an account. At what point do you feel that perhaps someone of perhaps a little less experience but a lot more flexibility didn't have her application tossed off the pile to make room for YOUR just-for-curiosity application?
You waste people's time, resources and money when you apply willy-nilly just to see 'what's out there' when the job market is so desperate right now.
So, I'm afraid that VERY mature DUH, HAHAHAHA is back on YOU, my fellow MT.
I'm not the one wasting everyone's time applying for jobs I really don't want when I'm happy where I'm at.
Yes, MQ has known all these years. My typo!! Haha
...
20% increase in production - haha!
haven't they been repeating over and over to you that you WILL see a 20% increase in production RIGHT AWAY!! after you conquer DQS then they're going to throw ASR at you and swear up and down that you'll have a 25% in production and they're going to cut your baseline rate by 20% to become a Medical Editor -- doesn't that sound just peachy!! i recalculated my last check with my MT work and my ME work and it came out to be $50 less because of the 20% decrease on my baseline rate for the honor of doing ME work (i have until 10/1/05 before the cut takes place). Oh, but you have your choice of doing 100% MT work and keeping your baseline rate, but guess what you'll be getting the docs that the voice recognition system can't do, therefore, you will probably see a 25% decrease in production. Heck, now as it is, the VR program can't pick up the little words like an, and, in, etc right and it's even leaving out very, very clear words that a very, very clear dictator is saying, so you figure how you're going to have a 25% increase on production when you're pecking nonstop on the keyboard like when you first started typing on a manual typewriter?? Tell me again, how grateful we're supposed to be for working at MQ? And, yes, I know I can go to MTJobs.com and find another job, but you know what, there's principles and if we just walk away from how we're being treated we're just going to be treated like that at another MQ-like company. Something needs to be done so they know that we don't appreciate being treated like someone with a 5th grade education.
haha (but not really funny, it is sad). You can do so much better...(no message)
xx
Haha ... you're funny ... lol. nm
haha - actually I kinda' like it better as a DO-DO list! nm
.
Thanks so much for you message...haha...just curious
since they expect perfection do they pay okay? THANKS!!
Haha! all too funny! sounds
like they require no experience on the executive level as well!
question - they don't pay for headers but who's to say they really don't charge for them?
no idiot, been there and they suck haha
Let me know when you wanna play with the big people. On one job, I make $23/h plus incentive. Full benes. 20 weeks PTO/yr. Second job REAL IC pays 11 cpl including headers/spaces. Now, who is jealous? Not that you would admit it. LOL. Now, go make your hard earned sucky money LOL
Haha! LMAO! Right! What is PHASING?????nm
nm
Yes, here you go, toodle-loo and fly a kite! Haha, nm
nm
Haha!! Brilliant move!!
I did the same thing once when I worked in-house. The cherry-picker ended up being written-up. That's the way it should be. The good employees should have a fair shake of things. Too bad people like sm will defend them. Yes, revenge is sweet LOL. Justice!
Yes we are on the same page, you used better words tho. haha
haha! Good one... no you got it wrong sm
I typed 200 lines an hour easily.........not slow. You sound like a salaried TTS'er or the owner. That's why there are always mixed reviews. The relatives and people with skin in the game post positive information.
haha, good luck, you'll need it!
zz
haha, exactly the same for me...no work, no one cared..(no message)
xx
haha, you are the one who sounds angry and bitter...
Don't worry about me or what you think I should do or need to do. I still have every right to express my opinion on this board, and you again are being rude and typical of 'your' profession.
Again, I believe medical care should not be a business. That sounds ludicrous to me. People without insurance cannot have access to health care...and people like you do not care.
We get it already, now perhaps you can go bother someone else. You are really starting to get repetitive and rude.
Teehee!!!! HAHA LOL! I feel like I am treated that way sometimes. sm
As for how I know my accuracy...
I have QA bonuses. You have to pull up 99% or better on audit to get it AND send under a certain percentage to QA in full.
NO I am NOT the only OP specialist we have. If you don't see OPs it is probably because they go to us first and if we finish, you don't have any of them in the general pools.
Haha -- took me awhile, but I finally got it .. funny. nm
Haha yen, love your post and agree completely with what you say!
The above poster wasn't me. I'm the LOL from above. Two separate posters - haha
nm
Yeah.. I second the motion. I lasted a day before I had a breakdown haha..
It was awful. Way too many screens to open up just to get going or do perform any task. That right there will always be their downfall. I'm sure if they had a better platform they would get a lot of better responses to job openings. JMO
notice the words "in my opinion" haha...WMX was awful for me
you are not going to bully me, I got enough of that at WMX
ps: Please excuse typos! "Hands-working-faster-than-brain syndrome!" haha (nm)
.
Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
