I agree, whoever you are, you deserve to be happy with any job, not constantly struggling.

The reason we have these boards is we need each other, that is my reason. It is a God given right that we deserve to be happy and not be taken advantage of, be kind to other people, and PASS IT ON!

I agree, who wants to constantly nit-pick with the QA, tit-for-tat!...
'The less contact one has with the QA person the better, believe me, stay 'invisible' as much as you can.
A couple hundred U.S. Constantly hiring, but i bet constantly losing them, too. sm
Who knows how many offshore MTs they have at their training center.
I agree...I am very happy there...
the people are great, excellent communication, and the pay is always right and on time. I know some will disagree, but for me they are the perfect fit.
I agree. For those few that are not happy at MQ, there are SM
twice as many that are. Otherwise, they would not have thousands of employees! There is no one place that is the perfect place. There will always be something with every place sooner or later.
Agree completely, very happy. (nm)

I totally agree. No wonder she's so happy.

Thanks for your reply. I agree-- I am happy there and will probably sm
get a review sooner or later :-)
I'm happy at TransHealth. Agree with the above post. nm
I agree with Happy. Starving MT doesn't
a ton of work at Transcend. It sounds like she's limited in her work type capability. Please stop with the they send their best work to India because this is not accurate. Good luck with your training. I think you'll find Transcend a great company to work for.
Agree 100%. Current employee and very happy.

PS who is struggling
It is true there are a couple not so great ROMs, believe me I could name you 2 right now BUT, you don't have to deal with them - simply ask for another account. They have many accounts to put you with a better fit and one that you will be happy with. I know many more ROMs that are just the best of the best and you would love them and work would be a joy. There is very little cherry picking going on, I am sure less than 5% across the board. I still prefer the smaller company though where everyone is former MT's - and not on a power quest and step all over you.

Your are right, I am not struggling NOW
I am working, my husband is working but I have worked long and hard in the past and just today got my first check from social security for working all that time in the past, the most 4 jobs at 1 time. I have now put in 48 years worth of work and still counting. I have paid my dues totally for me and some others. I still work because I love transcription. I have been where others are perhaps now, living on potatoes and beans each week to feed a family. I lived through it and could do again if I had to. If you can tell me what I can do NOT to pay bills, I will be glad to listen because I still have them to pay. Oh, my dinner out was the soup and salad at Olive Garden. Most know how much that costs, no drink, no appetizer.
I am so sorry for you and everyone who is struggling. nm

poor and struggling
I feel for you; I am right there with you. BTW, my name, Fatcat, has to do with the fact that I am fat, not an allusion to being rich, ha ha. We live mostly on lentils and rice, sometimes hamburger once in a while if it is on sale. Please do not feel that you are alone. There are many of us in this same boat. I recently took on a second job just to be sure I always had work to support my family. God bless you. Hang in there.
Agree, very happy there. Love my flexibility. Like the old Signal! Awesome. nm

I would ask, you deserve it. sm
I just got a new job and in my job search I did find some wanting to pay 8 cpl for high ESL with a production differential and then one other offering 10 cpl with a production differential. One was about 50% ESL and the other about 65% ESL. On the other hand another was offered at 9 cpl with lower ESL. I would not do a high (esp. as high as you say) ESL acct for less than 9 cpl and probably not 10, so I say if they want to keep you they should give your request a lot of consideration. They may be willing to do it if they have had a high turnover and you have already proven your proficiency on the account. Sounds like you deserve it.
let us all believe they will get what they deserve.

Glad to know I'm not the only one struggling to get work -- sad. nm

Karma will get what they deserve
nm....
You deserve better than to work for this
RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN. See archives.
You don't *really* deserve a response but here goes
something tells me you aren't capable of getting this but here goes: MY POST was to gauge INTEREST, *not* delegate the work.
Can you grasp that simple concept?
Try reading my posts again, and see if it's a little clearer.
As an activist for 10 years, I know just how easy it is for others to allow one person to hold the reins. I'm not willing to do that WITHOUT serious support.
Got it now?
What is your problem? TT does not deserve
all these negative posts and bashing. For your information, I've been there over a year and the only time I ran out of work was around the holidays.
Methinks there are too many people that have become paranoid because of another job with another company and it's not fair to TT.
C'mon, be fair to TT. They've been good to all their MTs.
Thank you, you deserve to be blessed.

Then what? I will have given a heads-up to others who deserve it
There must have been a certain amount of business generated from their advertisement of work being done state side.They obviously plan to keep that on there, so it's had to be a money maker. It certainly makes a difference if I'm the one looking for a job and it's a state side company hiring MTs. Then what...? You're right. It's not going to stop. But would you not want a heads-up? The website says state side. All of us deserve to know the truth going on inside these crooked companies.... because the only thing we can do is look after each other.
Anyone else struggling to even make a $200 paycheck from Futurenet? sm
They are a great company but the work is bare. Very, very bare. I cannot even make enough to do anything with. Have they overhired? This has been going on for months. I hate to leave but I cannot put my family through this anymore. We depend on my income greatly. Anyone else have these issues?
it would only hurt those struggling to make their line count
It could endager their job. If they need just 45 minutes extra a day to meet their count, what does it hurt? No one said you have to work more hours. You could always opt out of working longer than 8 hours.
I dislike the platform and am struggling to make minimum
line counts. The IT department said platform issues are being worked on but won't be resolved anytime soon. Work is sporadic on many accounts, may not be work during your shift, but you still have to make up the time and you're expected to accept it. You may/may not get a backup account.
You get e-mails that threaten they will have to offshore if accounts can't stay within TAT, which makes me think it is already in the works.
Benefits are good, but they don't make up for not being able to make lines.
I think they are definitely better than some companies I have worked for, but every breath I take I'm in tears because I hate it so much.
New TTer, struggling to make lines. Are they flexible on this
.
Probably because they love to overhire! We will all be struggling for work in a few months..nm
nm
And then there are those who ace the tests and deserve a response!

You certainly deserve the extra for working 3rd. sm
I could never do it!!
So you deserve special treatment? sm
MTs that don't have kids are ALWAYS stuck with the weekends and nights. It is expected of us to take up the slack for the MTs with kids ALL THE TIME. And when asked ONE TIME to switch and work a night or a weekend so an MT without kids can do something, the answer is always NO I want to be with my kids. Go ahead and flame me because personally I'm SICK OF IT!
Is there anyone else struggling to get the lines needed at Transcend for medical insurance? sm
Or is it just me??  TIA
You deserve a round of applause for your post!! sm
I have been at this for almost 20 years. I work a mid size company and it is a company that is bashed quite regularly on here. However, it works for me and I love it!
I have the opportunity to work with MTs with all types of experience. I have some older MTs that I wonder what have they been doing on all these years! and I have new MTs that try their hardest, but even some of them that are trying so hard are just never going to make it.
I agree with all the whining on this board. I don't mind it (as I don't bother to read the actual post most of the time), but I hope when people read these posts that they take what is said as a grain of salt. Form your own opinion of companies, etc.
Also when you say when you are going to work, then actually DO work those hours.
Hats off to the original poster!
You are so right and the ones who work for free should be flogged. Everyone deserve to be....
compensated for their time, effort, and dedication and what a slap in their face to get paid 1 cpl, if they are lucky. With this company, they would be hard pressed to get get anything so if nothing is really want they value their worth at, then go for it. I find it almost pathetically sad and any company that does this should be ashamed.
Huge employee turnovers and struggling to get your lines seems to be a common theme.. No thanks.
I think I'll pass on that. I have worked for a hospital before and I never had to pay for any physical, background checks etc..
I HAD A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE THERE, AND I THINK PEOPLE DESERVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT...
IT WAS GREAT WHEN I FIRST STARTED, THAT MUCH I WILL ADMIT. I WAS PLEASANTLY SUPRISED AT THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HELP, THEIR KINDNESS, AND THEIR AVAILABILITY TO THE MT'S. BUT AS MANAGMENT CHANGED, SO DID ALL OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT MADE DSG SO PERSONAL.
I LEFT ON MY OWN TERMS. I WAS NOT FIRED... I AM NOT A MAD IC OR EMPLOYEE THAT WAS TERMINATED. I WAS SICK OF BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP ALL OF THE TIME. AND I STILL TALK TO MANY FRIENDS THAT I HAVE MADE THERE AT DSG, AND THEY WILL ALL SAY THE SAME THING... DSG HAS BECOME A VERY IMPERSONABLE PLACE TO WORK, AND IS A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR WORK. WE WERE NEVER ENCOURAGED TO HELP EACH OTHER AND WERE OFTEN GREETED WITH RUDE COMMENTS FROM THE MANAGEMENT WHEN TRYING TO DO SO.
I DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT MY OPINION OF DSG OR THEIR UNPROFESSIONALISM. IT IS A FREE COUNTRY.
THANKS FOR YOUR BLESSINGS, THEY ARE NOT NEEDED. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WHERE I AM NOW. NO NEED TO FIGHT FOR WORK, AND MAKING MUCH MORE INCOME. SO YOU CAN HAVE DSG... FOR ME IT WAS A STEPPING STONE ON THE WAY TO A REAL JOB...
My account went to India, have been struggling to make any money for the last month, crappy work. nm

You deserve major kuddos! Hope that company (and their editors) appreciate you!
I know I would as an editor!!!
I Don't know why you constantly
get on her and bash Axolotl. You must have some sort of personal grudge.
They are constantly hiring. They also use a
company called Transcription Matchmaker to help with hiring, so while they may not be advertising themselves, they are still hiring. I don't think they are still offering the sign-on bonus, but if they are you need to read the fine print. The majority of the companies that offer sign-on bonuses only pay a percentage over a years' time - so in the long run a decent line rate is better than a sign-on bonus and an average line rate.
OMG you crack me up constantly
Thanks for the laugh!
i am constantly amazed
at how MW can make such a good impression on new employees, but then they are good at doing that. you have not worked for these people long enough to see how they really are, obviously!
Please tell me where I have constantly bashed
Axolotl. Do you have me confused with someone else?
They constantly run out of work and
the platform is horrible. You type an 11 minute report and end up with maybe 30-35 lines. The dictators are bottom of the barrel and the voice quality is the worst. I signed on because they were very friendly and seemed nice. I found out the ones in position of authority have no transcription experience. The rules change constantly. QA is alright I suppose but I have to admit I've had some strange reports back recently that I find myself questioning. I asked for a finished copy and I get the blanks I left still blanked and other things that make no sense at all are changed. Overall I'd probably rate them a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I've applied elsewhere and am waiting back to hear and will be leaving soon. I've been there a couple of weeks and already I see the workflow is not steady. I don't know what happened to their claim of lots of work. It's sure not the case. Are you thinking of applying or have you accepted a position with them?
Exactly what I was thinking....constantly on
xx
Why are they constantly hiring?
NM
constantly over-hire run don't walk nm
nm
I mean nothing by it but everyone knows this is a constantly changing industry! nm
.
I left after one month. I was constantly
switched between accounts (three times on one Saturday because there was no work). The pay scale is convoluted and low. The staff was nice. Interestingly, I learned that my supervisor quit a few weeks later.
That happened to me constantly at Spheris
