She was ridiculous to say the least. Is this company out of FL or UT? It just sounds very familiar.

As a former "QA Nazi" undeserved or not, you guys make our lives miserable, too.
Especially ESL MTs who used to be doctors in India who think they know it all and like to threaten lawsuits. Yah, that's the ticket.
As a QA Nazi myself, I agree!
Unless incorrect puncutation affects a condition or diagnosis, it's not worth mentioning.
They are the epitome of the schedule nazi
But if you deviate 5 minutes from the schedule you're going to hear about it.
Control freaks
You may have encountered a few grumpies,
but I do not talk to my ROM. I go through my team leader. The best boss and mentor I ever had is a team leader, but I think she is still on AIM accounts. But I can still write or call her and she will always help me with anything she can and is never grouchy.
Did this for 3 years. No slow time encountered. (nm)

Well, boo frickety hoo! So you encountered some rude people...
this is business baby, it's not your mama's house or church. Suck it up and do your job. Not everyone is nice. Not everyone wakes up in the morning and sings with the birds and whistles while they work.
You are the most immature group of people I have ever encountered. Go to work.

I encountered slow to no work the weeks preceding Thanksgiving and several days after but the past
few days it has picked up. Can I ask which account/accounts your on? I think that makes a difference. Mine are part f the Escription platform. I honestly got really ticked a few weeks ago when we had no work and they were still hiring. For one, it's bad enough when we have to share some of our work with the Indians, but how fair it is to hire these poor people who think they are getting work where there is none. It makes no sense to me either. Why not provide work to your current employees than drive them away by taking on too many new people.
why be so miserable about your job? is there...
some other kind of work you can or want to do? honestly people, money is not everything and if you are working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet you are killing yourself for nothing but paying the bills.
Miserable
Yeah, air conditioner went belly up and the cheap ones are sold out. I would not be working in this if I were not so dedicated to paying my bills, LOL. Know what you mean about being sleepy because cannot sleep in this heat.
I have always had animals in my life (the kids always had to have their own pets and so used to be a full house) and cannot imagine living without a dog and cat around the house and at least one stray or unwanted pet to find a home for (right now a turtle found wandering the streets by a neighbor!).
Stay cool 
I am miserable there and hoping
to get out. I have never made such a low LPH. I was not aware that not being paid for spaces would hurt my production so much, but it has made a big difference. I do like their platform and it was easy to learn, but I still have bills to pay. I used to make 200 to 300 LPH with other companies, make 150 or so with this company. Also they have a program where you can look up previous reports on the same patient or examples of report types or by the same doc, but it always, freezes or goes so slow and I am stuck in my screen. I have heard from some others having this problem. It really slows me down. I am leaving as soon as I can.
Wow, what a nasty and miserable POS
you are. Sheesh!!!
If a person doing VR is miserable, then they need
to check around, find out people who are happy with VR as it looks like most are going that way regardless and then make a choice. No sense in being miserable trying to work with a system. Again, life is just too short for misery.
Come on - This board is not just for miserable MTs.
Understand your feelings, but why do you come here? Not everyone on here is miserable. Do they not have the right to post also. You do not have to respond to them, you know.
It is very informative to see which companies have work, which do not, and for how long. Pay, incentives, and bonuses are also very informative. Who gets them and who doesn't.
Don't shoot the messenger!
You sound miserable....why do you stay? nm

Bet you're quite miserable with that tude.
lol
I think you should at least try to change STMs if you are miserable.
Mine is awesome. Super flexible and super helpful in everything. She gives us the option to flex if we want or take PTO (obviously we could use unpaid if we need) if we would rather. This last week when work was low and a holiday, she told us we should submit PTO request ahead of time and then if we needed we could unrequest some if we were able to make up some hours.
Maybe you could get with a new STM once the new accounts come in? Maybe ask to switch accounts?
You're right. It is miserable to be a US employee anymore.
We treat the immigrant workers and the overseas workers better than we treat our own ... it's the American way, of late, anyway.
I am not miserable at all. I am just tired of excuses of why people cannot work! nm

Sorry. That was eTransPlus. TT had the miserable ESLs and teaching hospital that I couldn't
s
"The most miserable group of people in the world"? Great attitude for a Lead.
Hope you're not one for long.
u made 300 a week? That's more than I made there.
But no work, no pay. Nice ppl, they really are, some of the nicest in the business. Just can't communicate to save their lives and the recruiters are lying dogs.
I'd say if you're looking for part-time work, as in less than 20 hrs a week's worth of work, then this place is for you. Use them as ur backup. Because guaranteed that's all they're using you for.
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Nasty, rude, unprofessional.
I spent most days watching TV because there was supposedly no work, and when I quit they screwed me out of the money that they agreed to pay to ship their equipment back.
EVIL
You need to get a life.....
I guess you had a bad experience, but that says nothing for the more than 400 MTs who are happy at OSi. I don't understand why you spend so much time running down a company instead of being a productive citizen. What you give comes back to you in the future. NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE.....I hope you are happy in your life because the reflection here shows some real issues you probably need to work on.
Get a life.
I too have "worked" for them, as a slave I might add. I work my tail off and do not get paid what I should. You, apparently a company suck up, get paid what you deserve. Some of us do not. You are not in the know. I am looking elsewhere as we speak because I cannot and WILL NOT take it any more. Get a life. It is not just me as other people have the same complaints. Unless you WALK in our shoes just SHUT UP.
You must have no life. No wonder lol

me get a life?
ha ha ha ha. That's original!! Spelling police?? You have such an original way with words!!!! Things that make you go hmm? What year was that? I am so laughing and laughing.
Sure, but I have a life too..
get a life
.
You are the one with no life
I have not been on this site cheerleading for this lousy company for the past year.
Get a life...
You don't know me from a can of paint. You don't know the OP either, so get over yourself. CHEERS!
you think i have a life?
hah!, work, eat, walk 2 miles and do it again :) but really, its fun still. i never even filled out any 'stuff' about me really. but when you get 30 or more people on there that have a little something to share, it doesn't feel like we're boring !!
Run for your life!
The cornerstone platform is the worst I have ever worked on. I have just found another job and will be leaving in about 2 weeks. Keep looking, you will find a better company.
set for life
Wow, I know that when I went to school and got started doing this job, I didn't think I wouldn't being doing it for a good company. I wasn't educated on scam artists, and thief's in this business. I never start any job thinking I am going to do a half XXX job, and leave work undone and so yeah, I put in all the hours that it required to get the job done, I didn't get paid for my work, I got ripped off. I am not a negative person, I set out to be successful, happy, and yes SET for life. I'm sorry that you don't agree with that, but that is why people have 401K plans,and retirement funds and buy a house.
take over your life is right.
I spend most of my day doing this work. They say come back later in the day when there is work. You get a few hours off, but you can't plan anything.
Oh, I DO have a life
A quite wonderful life, because I do WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO EARN AN INCOME TO KEEP MY FAMILY AFLOAT.
I don't post on here to complain that wow, my job is so wonderful that I just HAD to waste interviewers' time and perhaps push another NEEDY MT out of the running but I had to turn down a job because it required I work a weekend day.
Get a grip. The post was complaining/whining/whatever you choose to call it. If you're in a position to turn down a 'wonderful' job, more power to you, but don't get on here and complain about having to do so.
The only objection I have is that she should have put the name of the 'wonderful' company so someone willing to work and put in the hours and schedule could have applied.
Perhaps YOU need to get a life...a life where you have bills to pay, are the sole breadwinner, and don't waste the time of MTSOs and try to push other MTs out of the running for apparently kicks and giggles, since she's so happy at her current job.
Sometimes I'm totally amazed by the ignorance on this board and whom people choose to side with or against. Guess it must depend on the lunar cycle or something.
*Eye roll*
That is exactly where I am at with my NO life. Thinking about what to do now.

To: Get a life, at Transcend.
Not sure if you saw the post below or not, but I'm looking for extra pointers on how to make the 20K lines per pay period when the work load is low. I'm a fast typist, have lots of entries in my expander and even have a lot of files already formatted with jumps in them to save time. I work during my regular schedule leave the downloads on automatic so that I can type when the work comes in. I've been working different shifts at different times, but still can't do it. How do you do it? Do you have to work more than your 8-hour shift to get the 20K when the work load is low?
Ummmm...a life maybe???????

Welcome to REAL life!
Working 40 hours for benefits is not a NEW concept. MTs have long done themselves a great disservice by balking at change.
You still have the benefit of earning more dollars, but MTs are FINALLY become like REAL employees. You know where you have to work the hours to get the perks???
If you're doing 30 hours, slow down and do 39. Problem solved.
OR
Go to school to become a P.A. where, I hate to tell ya, they're going to want you to work 40 hours.
Story of my life
ESL city!!! I got to the point where I just couldn't take any more. Other than Bonnie Monico who is top notch and a sweetie, it was a rather horrible little experience for me.
live s/b life (nm)
That is definitely NOT true..... get a life!
nm
get a life, loser
The company is certainly better off without you so the owner's instinct of your worthlessness has been validated by your own rhetoric.
fact of life??
Currently, offshoring IS not a fact of life; however, it will become so if we all lay down, roll over, and beg for the profession to throw us the proverbial bone. I, too, have been in this business for almost 20 years, but there is no way that I will ever just roll over and play dead and just say it's a fact of life. If all of us have any passion for our profession, any compassion for our fellow man, any compassion for our fellow MT, QA, auditor, what have you, we all will not take this laying down, but will take Mary's initial letter from yesterday (can we Mary??) and send it to every senator, governor, any politician, newspapers, hospitals, clinics, etc., and get the word out to Joe Q. and Jane Q. Public, and see what everyone has to say about what has become the true fleecing of America.
I'll tell you what I don't understand; I don't understand why you are NOT outraged by the outsourcing of American jobs, any American jobs.
As with most things in life ..
You have to do what works for you. If you are getting experience doing something you enjoy, then you need to ignore the negative posts and be of help to those you can.
I have never heard so much BS in all of my life
Got tough so-called ESL (some Americans are worse) dictators? Get some samples or leave blanks. End of story.
Want to make some real money? Go out and get your own accounts and stop relying on the companies online to get the work for you, and then expect them to pay what they are getting from their client. That is unrealistic.
Got lots of experience over 20+ years? On what, a typewriter when stethoscope was considered an obscure term? There are so many new modalities that the scientific industry is moving faster than the doctors' can learn their tricks of the trade, when in turn can make our jobs much more challenging. You think because you have 20-30 years of experience that makes you worth so much? Most 30+ year transcriptionists barely can operate a computer. No wonder your line count is down. You've got to get with the times.
Offshoring is your concern? Well I fear more the newbies being hired from these online schools that half-train, and then the companies hire them at a very reduced rate almost equal to what they would pay an offshore person. What prejudices we have for foreign offshoring, when we have it right here in the U.S.
Now, I am all for helping someone who is new in the business, but if you are new and you think for one stinkin' minute you are going to make a lot of money, you are dead wrong. These newbies make it worse for ones who have a lot of experience because they will actually do an intership where they are paying to go to work and learn? Think about it. All of these statements are my opinion, and I am so tired of people moaning and groining about this profession and not trying to be proactive about it. Every profession has taken a cut in pay no matter what you do. It is not just transcription. It is everywhere. Hello? Can anyone hear me? 
Mag mutual, not on your life-
Had a horrible experiences there. Starting to work 1 day, could not get on, I had been pulled without a word or since then and no reason why. Still have no clue. Much better places to work.
Yep, life is tough all over. NM

life insurance
Do you know how much life insurance one can get without evidence of insurability? I need life insurance but have a recent cancer diagnosis. (I'm fine!) Don't really need the health insurance but can't get life through my spouse.
ATSI -- RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
Left there after having all my pay checks ,messed up- and we are not talking $5-10 -- mucho dollars messed up, paid late - sometimes a week late.. Losing accounts so MTs are being swtiched around. Promised one thing and given another. They change pay scales and do not let you know until you get your paycheck and start asking questions. Very high turnover of MTs and supervisory staff. Had 4 different supervisors in 6 months. Some MT's get shift diff, others do not -- depending on if they raised a fuss over it or not. Pending class action suit over pay practices. If you decide to work for them -- get everything in writing what you are promised and hold onto your hat --will be a very bumpy ride.
