I'm probably 1 of 3 people to ever leave TransTech over a year ago.

Once people started to leave last year
and the company was up for sale and more office employees started to leave, we should have seen it coming. All the red flags were present I just didn't want to believe it..such a sad day..I wonder if anyone will work this week?
Me also, 70% pay cut after 1 year...like it or leave it.
Fed up, your situation sounds just like mine! Lured in with great account and line rate, making the good money for a year, then suddenly forced to VR at 70% pay cut. I just can't stomach the idea of doing the same work for 70% less pay, and now I'm in a real pickle because suddenly no one will accept wireless DSL. I can't even get another job!! Count me as one biting the dust, I will not be paying my bills this month, nor for the foreseeable future, which is very bleak indeed.
I know 14 people who want to leave OSi
..
Why did the MQ people leave?
Try googling the words MQ and LAWSUITS and see what has happened to this company over the past few years. Not pretty.
Amphion have a lot of people leave? sm
Did more people leave? I do not see that work has picked up that huge of an amount. I am really tired of jumping accounts. Anyone else?
IMO, so many people have quit, they leave
the names on there to pretend everyone is still with them! Either that or they are so disorganized no one knows who actually works there and who doesn't.
too bad you all would rather let people leave than move to one of these
new accounts that are going live each week. All that hype that Transcend values its employees is just words on paper, but has never been put into practice.
If you leave, they win. Some of these people can get really nasty...sm
especially when you bite back, but if all the nice decent people leave, the nasties win, and we no longer have a place to come and help each other out, blow off some steam, and have a laugh or 2.
It is probably just a few nasty people. They hide like cowards behind name changes, and pop on and off, but if you pay attention to what they say and how they write, you see the pattern and who they are.
There are a couple who are particularly nasty. You just have to either bite them back, kill em with kindess or just totally ignore them. They do it just to push your buttons, so you really should not let them run you off completely. There have been a few times I have let these people get to me, and I swore I would never come back here, but I really like the nice people who are here, and even though I have many years experience, I am a humble person and know I can always learn something. This board can teach you a lot. The helpful people here have provided fantastic web sites and information you just can't find anywhere else.
SO THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO ARE HELPFUL AND KIND!
I don't work there anymore, but I know people who do, and she did not leave. pls r/o
That person has not left the company, and she is still wreaking havoc. LOL
Not true. I believe TransTech either offers paid maternity leave or is about to.
s
Unbelievable! I work for Transtech and got PAID maternity leave! Some of these
companies need to take a lesson from them.
Paid maternity leave at TransTech? Is that for real? Any details
would be appreciated. TIA
Old posts had people not getting paid money due them when they decided to leave. nm

Lots of people are happy with them, but you DO have to "clock out" every time you leave your

Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm

Last year one of the QA people sent out
a greeting through e-mail and we got a gift card the week after MT week. This year we haven't even gotten the e-mail greeting, but we are on OT and have been for weeks. I used the gift card to do something for myself, something that I wouldn't spend money for otherwise, so I miss it for that, but these days I'm just glad to have a job.
Got a card and $50 bonus from Transtech last year.
TransTech has continued this LOW/NO work for more than a year now with
only promises for new accounts, while losing accounts, overhiring. This low/no work situation has been going on TOO long !
We can be sure that if management's/supes/QA/inhouse employees' paychecks were affected by this continuing LOW WORK situation, something would be done IMMEDIATELY by management. But they still get their bonuses, raises, bennies, trips to LV, etc.
So, so, so sad that this excellent company has lost respect for their MT's by NOT providing work for them on a consistent basis, yet demanding a schedule ! 
There would be no Transtech if their MT's were not working to keep accounts. How do you think, mgmt, you would be able to keep your paychecks/jobs without your MT's ? ? ?
The *sweetie* just does not show respect for me. MONEY DOES ! Jobs coming into my queue makes me money !
Transtech DID have a service help out with their work -- I know for a fact -- about a year ago.
How long have you been with TT? Anyone in mgmt will tell you that they outsourced work to another service in the past.
This was sometime last year. I bet they rotate this account around so new people always don't
s
Surely had hoped for Christmas gift from TransTech again this year, but . . .
not. Has any other TT'er (MT) gotten a Christmas gift of any kind yet from their employee -- Transtech ?
I guess I shouldn't have expected one, but I did . . . .
I have found this time of year to be extremely busy. People
are scheduling elective procedures while they have a long weekend off and don't have to worry about missing work, plus docs do their best to get everyone home for Thanksgiving and I have DS galore. I do think around Christmas it slows down, but I also think there are lots of MTs taking time off during this time frame so you would think the work would balance out - less work, but less MTs, so still a fair amount of work.
It has been slow for me since at least August, so it isn't just the holidays.
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
Transtech same 2 or 3 people complaining ??????
Keep thinking that, but I don't think it is just 2 or 3.
Anyone with info on TransTech? I think they are former L&H people. Loved that co.
Does anyone know how things are there? 
Any other TransTech people out of work this morning? sm
After the big hiring blitz, I am afraid that maybe my account is getting saturated. I guess that is the way with all good things ... it doesn't last.
Oh, Transtech wouldn't be able to bring all those people into the office
IF they weren't paying us MT's one-half or more for doing ASR work. It's P:USH, PUSH, PUSH to do ASR.
Why do you think they want so much ASR -- money in their pockets -- definitely not in the MT's pockets.
Transtech has great people but work has been low for 5 months...nm
nm
MOST of TransTech's accounts are obtained through Dictaphone/Nuance -- not by any TT mgmt people
out seeking work for all the MT's that they have recently hired on. That is not a good thing when Dictaphone has control of how much work TT gets, when we can have some work from them, etc. They have other MTSO's who want work for their MT's, too, so Dictaphone/Nuance has to share with all MTSO's who have contracted with them to use their equipment; thus, doling out jobs as Dictaphone/Nuance sees fit for their good.
Ohhhhh, sooooooo true -- Transtech tech people absolutely stink anymore since ____ left. He was the
greatest! Hated to hear that he had left. We got some real doozies for tech help now. The MT ends up training them. They are clueless as to what to do when we need help. TRUTH!
They ALWAYS have a BAD attitude in their voice, too -- like we MT's are a bother to them -- thought that is what they get paid for.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
So LEAVE ALREADY. nm
I will leave it, thank you very much
through these 2 rotten companies, I finally have found a good company, one that appreciates my work (which is very good) and one that does not lie to me or steal lines!!! So take that!!
Why did you leave?
Or do you still work for them? I had the same experience - just sent my paperwork back, but haven't heard anything, including training date, etc.
Leave it alone. I(SM)
If you don't like what they posted, that's fine. You have no right whatsoever to harass them for it and yes, that is exactly what you were doing.
Goldbird
