I'm not being rude. The OP is stating she is lacking
work, and you give her a lecture related to your problems. Again, apples and oranges. That means opposite! So you slacked off and caused the company problems, etc. Unless you know the OP personally and are accusing her of same, your post is irrelevant. Are you helping her get work? Are you answering her question why there is no work for her? No, you turned her post into your own post! Help the lady out and answer her questions - she didn't ask for your work history, etc. Nothing said negative about the company, so you're rather protective. Unless, as often happens here, a whole thread was deleted by now and I missed it! Peace to you! Just trying to point out that your post is not helpful or on topic of the original questions!
It wasn't rude, just stating the facts, which doesn't seem to matter apparently to you.

Your comment is totally ignorant of the facts
Just because you have had an increase doesn't mean everyone will, and calling those that didn't have your experience stupid just shows your ignorance on the matter. It doesn't matter what percentage they give you for editing in the long run because if there is no production you're still taking a loss. What part of that don't you understand? If a person is experiencing the platform freezing up, timing out, crackling and buzzing, all while working with no expander, poor expander, no autotexts, or minimal hotkeys, it doesn't matter one iota if tTranscend paid 100% for editing, they're still losing money in their paycheck. If the work load is low even 100% of nothing is still nothing. Your outlook is not only ignorant of others' problems, it's self-centered and narrow-minded. You deserve to sit all by your happy little self with more work and wallow in the garbage they're dishing out because their reputation is not so well respected anymore. You'll fit in perfectly.
to the poster that was rude - sm
You obviously read waaaayyy too much into my post. I was not being derogatory. I recruit for three small companies and one hospital. I have NEVER been rude to a person applying for a transcription position, however, I WILL TELL YOU THIS, on your end - transcriptionists have been some of the rudest people I have interviewed. NOT ALL of them (I should specify in case you read too much into this again), but I have been on the receiving end of some rather rude questions during an interview process. My post was a little on the funny/sarcastic side with a serious undertone to it. Maybe you are one of the people that fell into the categories I mentioned and maybe not. But you read way too much into the post.
I don't think it was rude - this poster, like me, (sm)
is amazed probably at the number of people who come here to ask about work when the logical thing to do would be to ask the company. A lot of time is wasted coming here asking questions. Go to the source. (just saying, that's probably what she meant - not being rude)
Hahaha! Pitiful and ridiculous comment. A lot of posters, as 1 poster even mentioned
in this thread, immediately stop reading a post full of GRAMMAR mistakes, NOT typos, before getting the 'issue.'
How can one respect the opinion of a poster whose grammar is a catastrophy, especially from an MT?
The 1st question that pops into my head is, 'How did this person get an MT certificate?' I am not talking about typos, incorrect grammar only.
If as the other poster said, now they pay for spaces and got rid of the rude QA, would be ok nm

I totally agree with the above poster. sm
I've been at TT for 2 years and always had work. I learned VR and still had work. I have 4 accounts and now have no work, period. I'm henpecking for lines every day and have watched my check drop 200.00 a paycheck, 400.00 a month. Yesterday I got 700 lines. All this plus nothing but a late thank you for MT week. The writing is on the wall. I won't be staying.
The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
Rude answer to a rude post. nm

3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm
the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee. Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great. VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform. They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

Yes, it's totally word based, but it's also totally slow.
I haven't had a very good experience using dictaphone EXText. I wouldn't recommend anyone work on this platform. I don't know how anyone can say this is a very productive platform in any way whatsoever. Actually, it is the worst I've ever worked on. I like Bayscribe, DocQscribe, and many others over this setup.
Rude, rude posters
Hope you rude posters find a good fit for you. Don't run down OSi because some of us like them. No problems either and I have 10 years experience. No newbies here like you say. Love the accounts I'm on. Hope the complainers find a good home, but if not, they will be back and on another company's case.
It is so rude to call QA rude because YOU have
been stuck on QA hold for six months!! And the other poster above - if you are getting QA notes and they are including your supervisor, which you imply is not the norm, then YOU are the one responsible. It matters not if you've been an MT for 1 week or 30 years - if your skills are not up to par, they are not up to par. Many MTs get cleared from QA hold within hours or days at most - companies do NOT want to hold you up from producing, nor do they love to waste their $ on MTs on QA hold. You really need a reality check. And no, I am not rude! It is always, always the MTs lacking in skills who get pissed at QA - no form of feedback is acceptable to that type - even sealed with a kiss and a big bow! 
Rude! Recruiter was very rude to me.
She had an attitude right off the bat.
I think the OP was stating that she got some
However, I remember this job post and I think the pay was 7 cpl. You get what you pay for is all I can say. 
As far as your reasons for job hopping, it makes me no nevermind, I was simply pointing out the fact that you've had four jobs in 15 years. In my opinion, that is a lot of jobs to have in that span of time. I had the same employer for 15+ years and have serviced the same accounts for 10+. Longevity equals production in this business.
I think that many promises are made to these MTs by these MTSOs, and then the promises are broken. I think that causes a sour taste. Let's face it. Business is business. 
I am just stating my opinion like everyone else...sm
on the board. I must have struck a nerve with you for you to be so insulted. What's with "get over yourself" - just because I'm happy with my company and you probably aren't - means what? That I think I'm better than everyone? Don't think so. You should try being more positive, you might be more pleasant.
By the way, stating that you feel you let them down
is an admission that sounds like guilt. Don't get your denial of that issue either!
If DOL is all your HR dept will take, then anyone stating here they could
Perhaps you should just give it up if you are not willing to call and/or see an attorney for yourself. lol
Stating the name of a job position
I had though that all job ads posted had to state the name of the company; however, there is one posted by an MTRecruiter who seems to be looking for different companies. Shouldn't that person name the companies who he/she is recruiting for? Thanks.
Why did you say that? Now there will be 60 messages stating
xx
I was getting 9 cpl with them and they let me go stating I could not do op notes sm
Op notes are all I do for MQ and my other job. They just didn't want to pay me 9 cpl and they dropped me to 7 cpl on er reports. It is an awful company to work for. I would not go there in any way, shape or form.
and I am stating my opinion also. sm
If the companies don't want to set up auto e-mail they don't want to. you aren't going to change them. Grow up. Not being nasty just to the point.
This might be stating the obvious but...
Make sure you make the corrections and save the revised document!
I updated my resume and saved it, but when I went to send it out realized I had not updated my email address. I updated it on the resume I was sending out at that particular moment, but forgot to change it and save it in Word. After I had to correct it 3-4 times as I went to send it, I FINALLY remembered to go into the actual document, make the change and save it.
Sometimes I really wonder how I function in day to day life, I'm such a scatterbrain, lol!!!
I am only stating that she posted on another board. I don't know her
one way or the other, you are right. I am not the basher. I just thought that post would clarify what someone else said. That's all. I am not bashing this woman. I am just giving information that I read while posting a question about Transtech on another board
He emailed me afterward, stating that he had
that he called to tell me about the additional ways. I never responded. The scary thing is that I had posted my resume to so many places here, so I had no clue who it was.
Several posts in the archives stating this. nt
email again just stating you submitted
your resume about 10 days ago and have not heard anything as of yet for testing. They will get back to you very shortly then.
Just stating the facts, maam.
Wow! What remarkable perceptive powers you must possess to be able to glean personal information from a 2-line post! If you ever get tired of QA, do consider the Psychic Friends' Network. Seriously though, what you refer to as ''answers'' and ''corrections'' are more often personal preferences (varying from QA to QA) and petty nit-picking about poorly communicated, ever-changing rules. You might want to examine, though, why you are emotional and upset enough to post rambling diatribes over MTs comparing their work experiences and pet peeves on an MT forum. Thanks for the heartfelt holiday wishes though (so good to know that you love me!) and for your approval to ''say what you have to if you must''. LOL!
Not trying to start anything just stating facts
But Amphion has just informed me that they are letting me go because I am not making their line count and its the end of probation. I don't know if it is all the extra stuff I had to do in the document information screen before being able to type or I'm just stupid, but I have always made like counts before and have never ever been let go from an MT job before or any job for that matter. I am not going to badmouth them but it is a very bad feeling when I know I did my best. I'm not a newbie either, I have 9 years under my belt.
Not trying to start anything just stating facts
Don't feel bad, I just started there and I know I am not going to be able to meet their line counts with all the looking up things and a different doctor every report. I also have never had trouble meeting line counts before, but this is a joke. Just move on and chalk it up to experience.
not to but in but MTing put herself out there stating she was perfect...
and had 100% quality. No one is going to just take your word for it with a comment like that. I am not even in QA and thought the exact same thing when I read the post - I could not help but notice the errors.
Not really complaining, just stating a fact
had not gotten even an email and never did.
When stating something, please have your facts straight
I am the person you are talking about. I am not QAd once a year. Where you got that from, dreaming I guess. We are checked every 3 months with pulled reports. In between those 3 months we also are checked and hear back from QA and also if the hospital I do work for has any issues, also hear from them. My QA has never been 97 and last time was a 99%. I am glad my initials are on the report because I stand behind all work that I do. Oh, I might be fast but was told by the higher ups at my company we have even faster. Sorry you cannot make it on VR, quit hating.
Not insulting. Just stating my observation of the

I received an email from JG stating spaces would
be paid now too. Got it at 9:19 a.m. with a follow up email 4 minutes later stating for clarification, this is permanent.
That post was not a whine. It was just stating facts. sm
I love my job. I love the challenge and the sense of accomplishment. I feel proud of what Keystrokes has become because I have contributed to this success and growth.
Not all of our MTs are problematic, but life sometimes gets in the way of working, and as a KS manager, I help out where I can. This is my job, and I love it, but I realize that it is not for everyone. I am blessed to do something I love for a company I love to work for.
There is a note on the intranet stating they are working on changes and that all of them should be c
If I were you I would email Lee directly and let her know that you havent heard anything back.
In the past week I have been added to two accounts.
THANK YOU KEYSTROKES/LEE
I got an email stating my score within a few days.

Did you sign a contract stating the amount
xx
I would send her a certified letter stating
you would like to know the above, and that if you hear nothing from her within a certain timeframe you will be contacting an attorney (whether you actually do or not).
Lots of posts in archives stating that it is
a Indian run company. Supposedly they have a U.S. storefront office in MA. Turnover is very high, which is why they constantly have ads running. The only good thing I've ever heard about them is they will hire newbies. They pretty much have to because an experienced MT would not want to work for them unless they couldn't find a job elsewhere.
I received an email from TransTech stating that they
are about to hire for many positions but just last week I read lots of posts on here about people running out of work. At one time I had been really interested in working for them but this is really confusing and makes me very wary.
wasnt just "complaining", just stating a fact.

I found an article stating they have already spent over 6 months
already in place to take over immediately. I found it on their website if I'm not mistaken.
I wanna think that OSI has an ad up stating that now have benefits for part-timers..Other than that,
I do not think many do. Everyone was saying how Wedmedx did, but when I checked into it, their idea of PT was like 35 hours or something, but I could be wrong and I do believe they are also fairly rigid about those 35 hours. I think anyone that offers health insurance is going to ask for a fairly strict schedule and probably FT but you never know. You might also check into your local hospitals. I know they do have insurance and usually pretty good for PT.
Didn't intend to be flip, just stating facts
I'm not in love with Spheris as a company, but I have yet to run out of work or even be close to running out of work.
I received an email today stating it was all approved. :-) nm
