I always knew CB was untrue to MT

Sorry, CB, I am just not buying the bit about how I would save an American job if I just worked night shift...blah, blah, blah...I have BTDT!! and where it did it get me? Having to work more than one job because the company is going to do what the company is going to do, with or without me. It is a FACT that MTSOs are going to offshore. It is also now proven to be a fact that any MTSO saying they will NOT offshore is a bold face liar. Kiss up to your lizards, but save me from it. pfffttt!!!

This is untrue - SM
If you are asked specifically to work extra hours to help get an account caught up, then you will be compenstated at an OT rate. However, you cannot just work as many extra hours as you want without being asked to do so and expect to automatically be paid at an OT rate. If that was the case, everyone would be working a hundred hours a week.
That is UNTRUE, at least in my experience. SM
We are *asked* to clock out if we're going to be away for more than 15-20 minutes. I have NEVER had anyone call to find out where I am or what I'm doing. I have never known anyone I work with who has had that happen, either.
I flex my schedule regularly just by doing so and keeping my supervisor in the loop.
That is completely untrue.
MANY of their accounts are still on Lanier. I should know. I'm on one of them. As a matter of fact, at least six clients are still on there, if not more.
There are e-mails from the owner daily asking people to stretch. There are demands for weekend work STILL. The recruiter has been know to say that SHE is the one true authority on QA, often defying what both the client profile and the QA feedback say.
I'm curious if you're just trying to keep people from knowing the truth, as people are leaving in an almost a mass exodus. Damage control, perhaps?
Couldn't be more untrue!
I'm currently working for Landmark and have had a serious family situation occur and had to go to part/part-time, and my boss and the company have stood behind me! They've been considerate, kind, and patient while I work out some issues and get back on my feet. I can honestly say that I'm proud to work for them as they treat me like a human being. Additionally, they have never, ever not paid me. How unfair to come on here and post such garbage!
Totally untrue
I have been there for a while and NEVER had ANY problems with getting any days off I needed. They are VERY flexible as far as needing off for various reasons. Yes, they are picky about quality, and as far as being chastised about making mistakes that has definitely been taken care of. The platform isn't as bad as this poster is saying. Just a someone who is bitter who couldn't hack it there. I would never dream of working at any other place.
that is untrue. once you get used to it, it's very user friendly
and you can move around in it just fine, look up old reports on the same patient or any other for that matter --
Offshore comment untrue
I currently work for this company, and they absolutely do NOT offshore. HQ is, in fact, in Clearwater florida...
The reason they are always hiring is because they currently have several large accounts and more come in all the time. it really is a great company to work for. i have been with them for several months and could not be happier.
Completely untrue statement! Medware is a great company.
na
That is completely untrue. Why are people bashing Transcend on the board?
They are a good company, with good people.
Untrue. You posted a couple times on the Main board.
This looks like exactly the same thing you put there. What, you didn't insult enough people there? Come over to the company board to try to hurt more people who are worried about their incomes? Sick stuff. Get some help.
Maybe it would help if we knew exactly
how many people were quitting, if they could maybe post on here (or maybe a less public place might be better) when they find a new job and when they plan on leaving. Might make more of an impact that way. I'm going to have to leave, but I don't have a new job yet. And I agree with you about not giving notice. They didn't give us any notice.
See? You knew better, but still...
Do you brush off your typos in your work just because it is early morning?
Some people just do not do well under pressure like that (verbal quizzes) regardless of how much they know. Get off of your pedestal.
We knew what we were saying
Both of us knew what we were saying without the extra 000's. I just looked at my chart notes and at 9 cents per line which is what I pay my subs you lost about 15% and so probably get about 7.5 cents per line. The first document I checked was a lot of letters and consults and so there were a lot of blank lines in that one -- which I do get paid for believe it or not -- so that was not a good comparison --forgot about that. But I just looked at a document that had 3830 lines and 2790 words and so you can compare that. But again I charge gross lines. Less per line but they much prefer the less per line than the more per line but less lines. I have weird docs. Good luck again.
If we knew of any, we'd all be there!

I knew it
Thank you so much for sharing. That is what I mean, the old bait and switch game. They reel you in, have you quit your current job, and then treat you anyway you want to. Just like 75% of the companies these days. And yes, lying to someone over the phone and the computer is easier for people. All I want in a company is work, paychecks, integrity, and honesty. And you sure wont get it here at JLG!!
If they only knew...
the clients I mean. Maybe everyone's minds should think alike.
I agree, Melissa was once an upstanding person and manager, boy was I wrong! She would not answer her office phone or her cell phone yesterday afternoon when I called and I left her messages. I emailed her that I was going to be out last night due to illness and she forwarded my email to Kathy Clemmons and Colleen Neidert. What, now I can't use my sick time either! Just try me!
I wish I knew
what company this hiring manager worked for. I would not apply.
If you only knew!
nm
somehow I knew
Call me names if you want to....I really don't care. I stand my ground. Acusis is a great company with great people. I personally know MTs who have absolutely no trouble getting their Keystrokes in...perhaps you are spending too much time here when you should be transcribing? Just a thought.....
No it isn't, but seems to be more than you knew. I also know how to
search the archives.
If she knew, do you think she would ask?
wish I knew..sm
The website looks good-seems like all radiology work., but other than that, I know nothing; I haven't heard from them either. 
I wonder, too, if they even knew it was in use...
when filing a name, how would one know if w/o the copywrite?
wish I knew.. but
I received an email yesterday stating I did very well on the test and wanted to know when I would be able to speak to them. I told them today or tomorrow and gave time. So far, no response email, no call.
Uh oh. I knew something bad had to SM
be coming, since they didn't have any bad news at the last town meeting call. Too many changes to annotate? That's their way of having us go through the whole thing and hopefully miss even more things they are taking away from us, OR more things we are going to have to do and not be paid for.
the OP knew what she was doing and sm
I am sure she knew the consequences. She will be fine and she will get another job.
I just hope its not in an office with folks like you. I have been there, done that and no amount of money is worth that.
When it comes my time to die, I sure won't be saying GEE I wish I had worked more hours! I will be glad I did what I could do for and with my family and the OP will do the same.
Well, 2 of us knew it
But don't feel too badly. Some of us manage to be aware of cultural phenomena and the world outside of our own. I don't think any of us expect that from you.
I knew it, I knew it
Wow, I thought Iw as the only one who noticed something weird about this companyh. They pulled the same garbage on me, the 9:00 interview, on Yahoo IM? What a crock. What exactly are they trying to pull? I also got a computer virus that I think was due to them.
Although this is something I knew, it SM
bears repeating. MTStars is not giving out that information. The poster in question made it clear that she gave information in HER OWN POSTS that allowed identification.
There are also accusations against 4 Jane Does in the suit, which shows everyone that nobody from MTStars is giving out ISP or identification information.
Thanks. I knew there was something but

I never knew they had glitches.
I'm in the dark about that.
if you knew what they paid, why did you take the job?
x
knew that was coming!
Three things are for sure - death, taxes, and that you'll start your vendetta the minute anyone mentions OSI!
I knew it was too easy sm
Probably too good to be true but I will try to straddle both jobs. My current one is a stinko place, lotsa junk dictation, no $$, so T seemed like a big step in the right direction. However, I got it too easy. My experience with both MT and nonMT jobs is if you get them too easily, there's usually a reason why -- nobody else wants it.
I knew 4 companies in NJ this way. It was not a
~
I don't know firsthand but knew
someone that worked for them once who was happy with them
I knew someone would disagree with me, but
for the account I am on, I am definitely getting the short end of the stick being paid by the report. Unfortunately, that is something you don't know until you actually work on the account. At least by the line, you are paid for what you do exactly.
Money? They pay for this? Who knew?!!!
Dear Foothills:
You are too funny!
None of us make money in transcription anymore. Veteran's in the business can remember when we used to make a living wage, but anymore?
No, we'd all be better off as coal miners because it would pay better. I'm serious. These companies are in the penny pinching business, stealing spaces, headers, footers, courtesy copies, and creative accounting so what you type is not what you get paid anymore, and they have it down to a science.
I'm guessing, but I'd venture to say in the coal mine they wouldn't tell me working for free is part of my job. What do you think?
hahahahahaa.
I'm working on an attitude today with dictators.
I wish they would all yawn, fart, sneeze, eat, cough, talk to other people, answer the telephone, play with the calculator and shuffle papers while dictating as I am sitting here trying to make a living.
Then, if they can gargle like this fellow I have right now where I can struggle to understand, I would just be thrilled! (Sarcasm).
Rudest animal on the planet?
Dictators.
Some days it would be easier for a gnat to give birth to an elephant than to transcribe a horrible dictator. Ever have a day like that?
There in is the reason we make little to no money.
AMEN.
Last I knew it was Starmark sm
and they were awful.
I knew it would come out sooner or later.
If people only knew what goes on (sm)
the deception is something else with this company, I am so happy to be rid of all that nonsense. Sorry that happened to you.
Thanks, Wendy, I never knew that.
New Jersey last I knew. nm

and thank you! I knew there was something forgotten!

If we knew the answer to that one...
we'd all be working there! We all would love to know where to go to make 13 cpl to start, where we are not on a time clock, were we have little to no ESLs, and where we are treated with the utmost respect, paid on time every time, and don't have to worry about being switched to that blasted ASR. Boy, if there's anyone out there who knows of such a utopian place for a MT, please let me know! I'll be quitting tomorrow!!
if you knew the company, that is.

Can you say overhire...I knew you could.
Don't bother unless you like A LOT of flexibility in your day. Have a backup job so when there is no work I can work elsewhere. There is more work at night so if you like working evenings and nights this could work out for you.
I knew something like this would happen...
I got this email from super today saying that a line is not a ine due to production gains with Speech Recognition. So they are being weighted.
A transcribed line equals a line but a speech line is 0.666666667. We will receive corrective actions for not reaching the goals.
I believe this means that I now have to do twice as much work to make speech equal 1 line and to keep tabs on it I have to go to a different window.
Time to find a new job?
well I would if I knew who the recruiter was...
But all I got was an automated email message saying congratulations, you passed the first portion of the application process and inviting me to go on to the second portion, which was the test.
Would like to apply to MDI if I knew where to do that. NM
