The percentage of offshoring is higher than 15%, much higher - sm
Two more points - the Indian transcriptionists seemed to get the easy American dictators while the US transcriptionists get the Indian doctors and other ESLs. Never made sense to me. Also, a poster said the work is QA'd before being sent to the client - not all the time and if was then QA needs better training.
MQ MT/ME packets
Not sure where to put this question, this is first time I've had comment/question on this web site so sorry if this is in wrong place :) I'm wondering about all these comments that sound like the people have already received and read this MT/ME packet that aren't supposed to be mailed out until sometime next week? Have some people already received them? thanks :)
packets
Thanks for the responses; I'm in lower midwest so will look for mine in the next few days :) appreciate the feedback.
Actually many of us have packets already
I don't recall the answer to this question for sure, but it may be at the hourly rate.
Got E-mail from MQ - packets to be out by 10/07. (sm)
I am keeping my fingers crossed. There have been many, many changes in how transcription was done since I first began. In fact, in the old days there was no working at home and I have to admit I am old enough to remember doing this with carbon sets and having to correct several pages if you made a typo.
I am hoping that whatever changes are coming about in the industry that I can adapt and find a way to make it work for me for just 11 more years then I can sit back and bask in the sunshine of retirement with my hubbie.
Were the packets indivualized or
Were these packets individualized as mentioned days ago on this post?
MQ--PTO and incentive question for those who have packets
What is the scoop on getting the 18 days of PTO? Info I have seen says "up to 18 days" is this based on the 150 per line/40 hour week classification or do you have to do more than that to qualify for the full 18 days?
On the incentive, so I get that it's 1 cpl for 1200 lines per day and goes up from there. Would you be willing to post the scale of how it goes up from there? Or if that's too much, say for example one types 1800-2000 lines a day...what's the incentive amount for that range?
Thanks for the info, trying to learn SOMETHING that will help me put a positive spin on where this is going!!
no one has the packets yet, remember? another 7-10 days...

Uh, look at the posts below. Lots of MTs have their packets. nm

MQ PTO: Do the packets say how PTO is accrued, or if it still paid at average rate? nm
nm
Just remember, what MQ says in the packets today is not necessarily what they will agree to
:(
Why would there be a mailing
to all past MT's? What's that about?
no faxing/mailing
x
If they are mailing overnight, then they are using
a service such as Fed-Ex, UPS, etc., or maybe even the postal service. Not cheap by any means.
Do you mind e-mailing me also?
I currently work at a hospital, but I have to come back home to work due to my husband's job. I really need a job that is real flexible, because my daughter has special needs.
TIA!
E-Mailing from site
My apologies to you for responding by e-mail. It is late and I hit the first tab.
I totally understand. I had some disturbing e-mails once from someone who did not agree with post I made in the past.
Anyone mind e-mailing or posting CPL? nm

Ignore it. If they are just basically e-mailing
do not feel compelled to answer an e-mail that has other MT names in it. If it is directed right at you, then answer when you get the chance. Don't feel nailed to the computer.
Now if they are using IM, that is a different story. Instant messenger is control in my honest opinion and as an IC should not be part of the deal.
If you know your accounts in and out you may want to stay and just ignore some of the e-mails that get you hot and bothered.
I also am an IC for an online company that does mass e-mails when there is work to be done, but it is not directed right at me but to all MTs on that particular account. I do not feel the need to answer each and every e-mail unless I am the only addressee. Of course, you may not know if they are blind copying, but just my opinion.
I don't know what kind of mailing system
they are using but it has never gotten to me under 10 days and like I said that's after being mailed late the day of payday. So now when others tell me they mail their paychecks, I either turn down the job or don't even bother testing for the job. I am not in a position to be paid like that. I think that's the case for most people at the moment.
However, I am still looking.
Just like they save on postage by not mailing SM
paystubs anymore. Every little penny they save fills their pockets, not ours.
Would you mind e-mailing me with this info...
if you don't want to post it here? TIA.
Would you mind e-mailing me what the name of the company is?
nm
TJ would you mind e-mailing me I have a few questions I am confused about. I think you can from my f
x
you are correct :) It is more than typing, there is e-mailing and following up, but oh sooooo worth
/
If you are an AAMT member, they have a mailing list that corporate sm
members can use two to three times a year.
I don't see ANY MT company names on this list!! Everybody PLEASE start e-mailing.
x
Seems you're spending more UNPAID time/work e-mailing..sm
and xeroxing as if you were sitting there with no work.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE A HIGHER UP
OR A SUCK UP THAT CHERRYPICKS ALL THE GOOD WORK AND GETS PAID FOR YOUR SPACES. Get a life and leave us poor people alone.
Higher?
They won't if you don't know how to spell hire.
higher
SS pays higher than that for QA.
higher than DQS
but I get paid for everything whether I type it or not, headers, footers, ADT, etc.
they can higher new MTs
nm
My pay is much higher
I do VR and straight and what you quoted lots lower.
higher pay does not mean better. Try them both.
nm
That is for pay; what they charge is much higher. sm
They are not cheap. Our department went with them a few months ago, and they were higher than all but one other company. My manager and her higher-ups really liked them. We have met the owners and two of their managers and I have to say that I was impressed too. They were definitely the nicest company that came in. They are doing a great job too. I am going to work there part time evenings, so I would recommend them.
Not really. I think the average is higher than that. That's on the low end.
I would not take less than 1.25. Just my opinion though.
so if it is not 8, is it higher or lower..(nm)

Are you the KS Lead that goes to the higher ups?
If the higher ups are telling you they are getting 20 accounts, they are probably counting each dictator on one account! Would that make sense! I'm being sarcastic. Is it working? LOL Think, people, think!!! LOL - laughing at this whole thread. It is hysterical! I LOVE THIS BOARD!!!
If Keystrokes was so fantabulous, they wouldn't need to post on here to hire!!!!!!!
They pay higher than most and their communication
I though they were very professional and the Beyond TXT platform was not half-bad. They treat you like a person and not someone from far, far away. LOL - They have my vote as well!
nor that smart especially the higher you go LOL
.
Of course it is too low. Will you get higher rate?
x
They start out higher than that :)
nm
That is the average or even a little higher...
especially nowadays...
Why not ask your supervisor or higher
up people in the company itself for a straight answer??
Take the higher paying job! sm
These companies don't care about us anymore, so why should we care about them? At the end of the day, we all need money to pay our bills.
I think they have their sites set higher. See msg.
Our goal is to steadily increase offshore volume although to the extent that our
revenue grows rapidly it could certainly be a challenge to increase the
percentage of our total volume that we’re processing offshore
I found the above from the lengthy meeting notes from July 29 of this year. It is at the top paragraph of page 6. Transcend wants to offshore. There's no stopping them.
I think they are betting the MTs with higher rates of pay (sm)
will get the heck out of there and then all the new ones that are hired in will be at the lower rates. Kind of like filtering out the older employees who are close to retirement and top of the pay scale.
Hope I am wrong, but....
Your current rate must be way higher than 7 or 8 cpl
I have more years experience than 11 and they were only paying me 8.2 cpl. I would have had to make almost 750 lines per hour to make the amount I was making before they went to BT. They admitted themselves that it's not possible. It really disgusts me that they expected us who had been with them a while to continue working for them with that amount of paycut, help them educate their new VR system, work on studies to help them repair all the bugs, and then turn around and offer newbies 10 cpl. I have no idea where the heads of these people are, but they certainly aren't on their shoulders. I'm so happy to be out of there and for the past few weeks, I haven't felt the stress and despair that I felt every single day for months at Transcend. That alone is worth leaving for me and the higher pay is a plus too.
Why would we have to test for higher levels when we already do them. Well, SE is much better for me
so I will be looking for SE meanwhile or IC.
KS has both. IC pay is higher. Employees have benefits. I sm
am an employee and it fits me well. I make great money, have lots of work and have been there a while.
Ignore the nay-sayers. This board gets so nasty sometimes.
