this person is just trying to stir up trouble. I remember the phrase from when I was a kid 100 years ago, but it seems you cannot say anything anymore without first checking to see if it is politically correct. I would rather look at the heart of what the person is saying, what he/she meant, and not pick everything apart by individual words or phrases to beat the person over the head because perhaps they did not use the right phrasing or whatever. Life's too short to blow up over every little thing.
I am sorry you were treated that way. Seems best to polish up your resume and find someone who will appreciate all you are willing to give. Good luck!

come on now...you know what was meant by racist remarks--sm
let's not get carried away here. save your *giggle* comments for the comedy board. talk about overkill! jees.
The word RACIST is tiresome - disagree with someone who is not white, you're a racist
News Flash: Non-white people can be jerks too.
Victoria
Victoria, I agree with you. I am Jewish and my SO of many years was Cherokee. I think that a lof people concern themselves with being oh-so-politically correct because it's a good way to hide out from facing the world's real problems. I get so tired of the politically correct terrorism.
thank you Victoria
I agree there are some great people here, hope I get some replies!
Victoria...
What should I expect at MQ with regards to pay, schedule, management and workload? Pay is comparable and always on time. You pick your schedule, although I have had to change mine several times to ensure work. Management... hard to say. I personally do not have much contact with my supervisor. It is frustrating when you need something or have questions and it takes a week to get an answer. Workload, well, you will not have one account. You most likely will have 4 or more a day that you bounce around to. It is difficulty keeping all of the client profiles straight and QA gives contradicting feedback.
Do they leave you alone and let you do your job or do they micromanage? A good mix of each. They really micromanage your schedule. Part time is 24 hours and do not work 5 minutes less or they will take an hour of accumulated PTO time.
Do MTs work holidays? I had one holiday off in the past 12 years with the Q. If you are scheduled to work on a Monday and Christmas lands on a Monday, you are expected to work. Sometimes the supervisor will approve time off on a holiday but expect that you will work the bulk of them. You will not get off both X-mas and Thanksgiving.
Is there opportunity for paid time off? Yes. Your PTO accummulates for anything over 24 hours in a week and I think it is over 150 lines per hour. Remember what I said previously about not being 5 minutes shy of that 24 hours!
I know I would get experience with MQ or any other company for that matter, but aren't I getting experience with the company I am with now too? I personally would not recommend MQ to anyone anymore. I used to really love this company, and I am not sure if it is like this everywhere or not. MQ is always hiring because they apparently have a high turnover rate.
If I were you, I would stay where you are and get your experience with the company you are at. You like it there and you said the pay was good. Work is slow everywhere. I run out at the Q. The longer you do not have to do VR, the better. Yes, you will have to learn it at some point, however, especially at the Q, it is awful. I used to make over 25 an hour typing and I am down to about 13 with the speech recognition.
I hope this helps you.
To Victoria
RUN!
not true and very racist
They do not live in dirt houses, only the poorest of the poor in rural areas do that. We have people in the US living in appliance boxes, what does that say about us???? They also take care of their families and do not put their elders in nursing homes. If you are current on the global economy, India, China, and Japan have all surpassed the US in technology now. There are too many people here who do not want to work. We have 5 productions plants where we live and my daughter-in-law works at one as a supervisor and she said they have to fire somebody daily. They catch people in their cars asleep, hiding behind the building, in the bathrooms, etc. All of them are seriously short on employees and if they don't have people, they can't operate. Then when they pick up and leave, everybody gets their undies in a wad. There are those of us who work 2 jobs and those who wouldn't even work a part-time job. Can't lump everybody into one category.
I haven't seen any racist comments.
And to go around from board to board calling people racist for no reason is just not cool.
The racist comments on this board are tiresome...
not offensive - the original post WAS racist......
I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for
xxx
It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to
Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO. Geeesh.
Why worry about it
If you know it wasnt you, why worry about it? Just let it go and then you cannot be accused of stirring the pot. You dont work there anymore so dont concern yourself with it. Just let it go so that it can be dropped.
Not to worry.......sm
this thread will be deleted the second Admin sees it.
You don't have enough to worry/think about, do ya?! LOL
Or are ya looking for a free meal through a lawsuit? LMAO
There ARE other factors at stake when hiring or not hiring employees other than where you live, dufus. Geez! LOL
Thanks for the laugh, though!
Don't worry, you probably won't either

Don't worry
I'm sorry that the OP is having a bad experience, but mine has been just the opposite and wanted you to know this. I never run out of work, quite the opposite actually. Also, I have found the management to be nothing less than professional and kind. Good luck in your decision. 
not to worry...
it all depends on the account you are working on. I have 1 account where I can do 2000+ in 6 hours; but on my second account, I can't get anywhere near that.
Don't Worry...
I have known the lady that started this company from scratch and if anything, she is honest, reliable and dependable--she would let you know if something were wrong and/or if you were in need of worrying. They are a very talented team @ TransTech.
That's something I worry about...
I worked for a smaller company before and when the work dropped, it dropped like a rock. I am just stuck as to whether to accept the job or go with the larger national. This is for editing.
Don't worry
TTS pay is so bad that their employees are from the bottom of the barrel. No good MT would work for them, couldn't afford to, so no company is going to keep using TTS because of poor work quality.
Don't worry (sm)
My accounts were all out this morning, but they are picking up pretty fast. Yes, you can work a holiday even if you are not scheduled and still get time and a half for all typed.
Should I worry
The company I work for offered benefits. Employees signed up and no word on the benefits. Now an email stating the benefits are there and have been there and we will pay back for the previous month. There was no way to use the benefits without the information so what is a person supposed to do?
Don't worry
I'm so sorry to hear this, but try not to worry too much. I know, easier said than done when the bills start coming in. There are many, many jobs out there though, and I think you will find something even better. I left Amphion a while back and am very happy with my new employer. Start applying and don't give up! Good luck to you!
Do not worry! sm
There is more than enough work to go around. You will be fine, and welcome to the team!!
Don't worry - soon we will be saying, (sm)
There's too much work!! I don't even have time to do my Christmas shopping. I've been busy all week too.
They are looking for something you most likely should not worry about.
This is a criminal investigation which all hospitals conduct. They could also do a drug test anytime, you know. I do not believe they care about a normal person's skeletons. They are looking for stealing because we have their equipment mostly. I know because I have undergone these checks and worried too, but that was unfounded. Don't be silly and quit a place where you have worked for so long or that you like. They are not nosing in your past at all. They are simply contacting government agencies, etc. to see if there are outstanding arrests, etc. Now, if you are on the lam, well, then...
MT2, don't worry about it...
Their ads are good. If you aren't familiar with them, it is perfectly natural to think it's a great opportunity for some new person. I have never worked for them but I have heard over time how they use the new MTs and never give them a chance to earn any money.
Working inhouse is the nice coperate world... coming here is like coming to a street fight, a lot of sarcasm, got the claws out a lot. it is okay to research a company, look at the job board and maybe help out a newbie as you were trying to do but don't stay long enough to catch the sarcasm virus.:) Oops, my time is up. Gotta go...catch you later.:)
Oh I do worry....
And like I said, I help out when I can, but sometimes I just need my day(s) off. I don't know what else to do. I just cannot literally work every day of the week. I will work several days in a row, but it gets to a point where I need a break. I don't know what else can be done here except maybe offer an incentive for people to change their schedules to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and have the rest of the week off. I think there are a few that would go for it and it would even out the coverage.
Not to worry because I don't think anyone would want to

Don't worry about it ....
It is just someone who is trying to create a stir on the board. Ignore them and hopefully they will go away peacefully. 
You should worry. As more and more SM
goes to VR, the people who refuse are left with less work. The work that is left is awful, the fast Americans and the most unintelligible ESL.
Can't worry about the future right now...
My mortgage is not due in the future, it is due in the present. I cannot cut all my bills by 40% until Transcend figures it out so I have to make $ to pay my bills now--not later. Anyway--gotta go type for Webmedx, like I said. I have to pull myself away but will be back on later this evening. Good luck to all of you, and I truly wish you the best!!!!
Dont worry,
I never got a phone call, but got my packet today.
Don't worry about it. Those who really want/need jobs
Just be glad you figured it out now.
Don't you worry about us, Holly!

Worry about your own attitude
MTs raises, bonuses, TV-habits and/or chat room time are between her and her supervisor and none of QAs business. And if MTs want to share on an MT board their positive or negative, past or present work experiences/pet peeves that's also no business of QAs and neither is it their place to ''approve'' or ''disapprove'' with their condescending nasty tirades. Get off your own behind, worry about your own nasty attitude, and go ''check'' something.
I wouldn't worry about it
I think it's okay to read them even if you do not do housework. (LOL)
Oh, by the way -- not all housewives do housework either! (LOL)
I wouldn't worry about it
The thing is, they are great to work for. Don't concern youself with what if just deal with that if it were to ever happen. We have seen lots of MTSO swear they would never sell, yet money talks so you just never know.
Worry about quality - not LPH
I know of a girl who can type triple the number of reports as other MTs, but it is obvious that she does not proof read her reports because they are full of major errors. That could be detrimental to patient care. If you're fast and accurate that's great, but you need to be concerned about quality above all. Once you are familiar with the dictators the speed will come.
If you have 90 days don't worry about it
NM
Don't worry, be happy!
Sorry about the corny phrase. No, I don't think yo have anything to worry about. They wouldn't tell you you were hired and then just forget about you. It will probably show up today or tomorrow and be well worth the wait. I have been here since September, and just love the people there. I have absolutely no problems or complaints. Sorry to be another TT cheerleader, but it truly is a great company to work for. Good luck to you!
at least you don't have to worry about pesky

Don't worry about taxes
Contact your state attorney and see what they say. As for taxes, if they withheld them but DID NOT send them to Federal or state, as long as you had proof that they paid it, you can still count it when doing your taxes. They will go after the employer for what they withheld and did not pay to the federal and state. This has happened to me before and they went off my W2 forms and not what was actually sent in.
I wouldn't worry too much about it....sm
eScription means about 90% VR and 20% typing IF you get 20% at all, may be 0% typing. ...VR on eScription sucks......have to kill yourself to make a decent line count and even editing 2500 lines at 0.03 cpl is ONLY $75. When I see eScription in any job ad, I just pass it up cause I know what they want MORE VR and LESS or NO transcribing.
don't have to worry anymore, I am done at JLG nm

Please don't worry!! You will be fine!
Oh sweetie. My heart bleeds for you, and I wish I could give you a big hug, literally. DO NOT EVER WORRY ABOUT BANKRUPTCY. I have declared bankruptcy. I had to. No other choice. It was the bleakest period of my life. Stuff happens, and one day everything was fine, and then it wasn’t. Period. As well, my MT wages went down and down, went from being paid by the page to the line, had 3 babies at home, husband lost his job, and seemingly overnight, we hit rock bottom. No health insurance, you know the ropes. It has NEVER EVER impacted me negatively to date. I declared in 2002, I believe. I hate to even look it up, but within a year, I had built all my credit back up, and have been fine. Believe me, I was not fine then, emotionally. I have applied for jobs, had credit checks done, and never had 1 person turn me down for anything, EVER. Criminal background checks might be knocks against us, I would imagine. But I don’t have anything like that in my background. But being poor or going broke is NOT a crime in America. Don’t you EVER forget that, and just remember, right now you are in very good company. The # of people declaring bankruptcy is at a skyrocketing record high, including a large percentage of senior citizens now, so you are not alone, my friend. Just remember that, YOU ARE NOT ALONE, and you are NOT bad for this. You are getting a brand new fresh start on life, and hopefully you will use it well. Again, I have had probably 2 dozen job offers since I filed for bankruptcy, right along with credit checks, and I was offered every single job. I’m not a job hopper, so only took 1 or 2 in that time, but had every check run on me and passed with flying colors, bankruptcy or no bankruptcy. Not one question or comment was ever made. Don’t be ashamed. Don’t even think about it when interviewing. I speak from experience, and know it can really drag you down emotionally if you dwell on it, and you will. Hold your head high and concentrate on the positive side of finding a new job – don’t you worry 1 bit about credit reports impacting you. It will NOT. It will NOT, and the heart of our country is changing and realizing that most of us are in trouble financially. Bankruptcy is losing its horrible stigma in society, which is good. It is the most humiliating and difficult decision to make, and then you do suffer for a bit credit-wise, but the most awful thing was the humiliation. To this day, many family members are estranged from me because of how horrified they were at my decision. Mind you, I never asked for, or got, 1 cent of help from them. They just stood on their soap boxes and judged me for simple bankruptcy. I just wish I hadn’t wasted years of tears feeling so ashamed – you are NOT a bad person for it, and its not a bad thing all in all.
Don't worry about the new platform. It isn't bad, at least not

Don't worry about my issues...sm
and worry about YOUR attitude. Looks like you're taking it a bit too personally. I and we are entitled to our opinion, or are you the only one?
Another thing I have to worry
about is the fact that I have been treated badly by a few companies and can't use them as references. Also one company which I worked at for about 9 months and then gave me a check frozen by the bank is another I can't use as a reference. So, plenty of gaps!
Luckily I currently work for a great company. Shame these employers can't handle honesty and understand that there are companies out there who do not feel the need to treat their MTs well.
If they did understood the cost of turnover and training and the value of an employee or IC who had a certain amount of loyalty to that company, they would take a different approach.
