In Reply to: That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started. - KSMT2
they would be getting new accounts for DQS. I wish everyone would get on the same page.

I asked and was told they do not.
If you can prove something different, please do share.
You asked what would I do and then told me what you would do
Years ago if I wanted a job I would have gone along with the boss, would really have no choice. You have to eat, have a roof over your head and I have been in situations to where I could bite the head off nails I would be so ticked BUT that was years ago, now I could just say stuff it and good to be in that position.
That is what I was told by QA. I asked management
but never got a response.
I asked once and was told to Run, Run far away.. Nonpayer..
Yucky work, lots of ESL to boot, but that is all I was told. At one point, they had a F rating with the BBB but I'm not sure about that status now.
What I was told when I asked for a raise - sm
We are not offering raises at this time, but if you want to make more you can type more lines. Gee, now why didn't I think of that???
When I asked about less and less work, I was told
that no MDI work is being done by Transcend because they have no access to the MDI platforms / clients. It was suggested that the economy may be taking its toll.
When I asked Cymed supervisor I was told
that this means the sign-on bonus. She was rather evasive.?????
What?? they have asked you to work the account but never told you how much your pay is??
Sounds strange to me.. They would make me nervous as that should be the first thing they discuss.. or at least that is what I would want to know right off before I wasted my time with them.
Was asked when hired, told them I wanted M-F...
and fortunately for me, they had M-F accounts that were a good fit for me. I've only been there 2 months but feel like I've landed in a good spot!
I was going to apply and asked about benefits and was told that as of May 1 they were getting new
insurance, thus no quotes on insurance rates could be given. I know someone who works there now and she states there still is no new insurance nor any rate quotes being able to be given. Sorry but I found that odd. Obviously, if they decided to stay with the old company and not cancel as of May 1, then shouldnt they have quotes to give them. They have no idea what the insurance will be, costs etc..So, if the employee is wrong, I apologize. I can only by what I was told and what they were told. As we all know, it is not the first time and will not be the last in which there is miscommunication. 
I asked the office about the rates and that is what I was told. My x-DH has that insurnance sm
and it is not expensive and he says that it is better than the BCBS that they used to have at his job.
When I asked about line count, was told they were working on getting that available but I worked
+
they didn't tell you? never asked?
-
she didn't ask that. She asked if it sm
was legal. Yes it's legal. If the company wants to do it this way you have to do it or not work for them. Bottom line you are an IC you can do what they require or not and go someplace else.
Just got mine today - some didn't get them yet
nm
I didn't ask for your wages. I asked for help and if I'd have to work
and I didn't really think it would be like pulling teeth because MOST people at Transcend are willing to help when you ask WITHOUT the attitude. But if you post on the forum like you do here, it's obvious who you are.
Someone asked in March and didn't get a reply, either. nm
s
I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer
xx
I didn't try again, but once you got a few screens in, it asked for a $25 fee to your charge card
s
I didn't say anything about expecting ... I just asked a simple question. sm
I have worked long enough at the company to know their practices so was just surprised, that is all. It is nice of you to chime in with your veiled criticism, though. It is no big deal. I just found out last night that I need new tires for my car, and waiting 1 more day to have that done won't kill me.
There ARE troublemakers on this board, but I was not stirring up trouble. I just know that things have slipped through the cracks sometime and was just checking. The faster I get it solved, the faster I get paid.
No matter what, I hope you have a good day and everyone treats you better than you treat them.
Excusa-moi. Now you told me didn't you!
nm
I didn't ask about Medscribe, I asked about Mediscript in FLA. No direct deposit w/this co.
Thank you. I went to Walmart today, and guess what, they had one phone and it didn't work!. Go
NM
They told the board administrator that they didn't
offshore, when there was proof that they did. Whether or not they posted the other stuff I don't know, but they lied and got caught at it and if that doesn't make them look bad, considering how sensitive an issue offshoring is, I don't know what will. They probably didn't think they would get caught.
I told the coordinator about it long ago, and she didn't have a problem with it. sm
As you said, though, the new handbooks are coming out, so we'll see. I would think that would be a tough rule to enforce. I have worked 2 jobs almost all of my life. What I do on my own time when I am off the clock is my business as long as it is not in direct conflict with my full-time position. That's just my thought, though .....
I'd have written to AAMT, told them I didn't authorize
Maybe the 'Gift-Ideas Department' is in India, and they come up with such awful ideas so that US MT's will get disgusted and quit, resulting in even more work being sent their grubby little way.
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!
xx
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.
She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).
That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
ok-you asked for it.........sm
Good points: Pay always on time and always correct.
Bad points: Work flow is not consistent (some days plenty of work, some days no work at all on the system).
Their QA for eScription Accounts are very inconsistent and do not follow account specifics. Change correct things and terms to incorrect terms (very very frustrating).
Indian based and Indian run company.
They subcontract out most of their eScription work to other MTSO companies.
Don't know about the other side of it using their NetCare system. I work on their eScription side of things, which is all run by the India based company.
Since they are eating up all of the eScription accounts, I thought I'd try them - needless to say it is not very profitable.
Don't count on making good money there. Many days without work.
To each their own. It may be a good fit for some.
I asked for more
and that's what I was told the line rate I could get.
And to top it all, I have a friend who has TWO YEARS experience and was offered 8 c/line for a PT position. PART TIME!!! And I'm getting 8.5/line for FT with all that experience in acute care? Something stinks here.
Wouldn't you be upset????
Sorry...I asked this before
but can't find the post! Does anyone know a good website that lists most MT companies (besides MT Daily). Thank you.
Know what FTP is. That's why I asked who uses it. nm
nm
I asked that down below...
and no one seemed to know about the platform except to watch your line count? Not sure what that means.
since you asked, yes, 1 do nm
nm
Not what I asked about but thanks anyway. SM
The drug testing doesn't bother me. I would just like to know the answers to my questions before I apply.
Same here. Have never been asked if CMT or not. I'm not. nm
s
yes they do...have you asked for one?
nm
Yes I asked -
x
I asked that below...
but didn't get any reply. Not sure that's a bad thing or a good thing!
Well, have you ever asked?
to be able to fluctuate your working hours? Guess that would make a difference.
Have you ever asked
Unfair, yes and no. I do know they have called others who were not working when they were scheduled to be. It probably depends on what account you are on, and so may not actually change anything except that you will have to clock in and out each time you quit and start during the day.
I tried to tell you below when you asked, but
you don't seem to want to heed the advice given, not only by me but the numerous others who posted. In this day and age no company can guarantee you work.
Not what I asked.
Then, how many MTs does TT have? Big company? Little company? I would like a number cause I'm curious.
I know that this has been asked before BUT (sm)
Can anyone give me information on TTD, Inc? It is also known as TTD and The Transcription Doctors. I have searched the archives with all 3 names and cannot find anything. However, when I googled them I found 2 older posts on MTstars for them but was hoping for more current information. TIA
Since you asked...I believe it's
We've gone from typewriters and using White-out to desktops and using Word shortcuts. That changed the way we transcribe. Because of the internet and home computers, a lot more of us are able to work from home.
Now, the same is happening with EMRs. How it all plays out is anybody's guess. My guess is there will be *growing pains* but, in the end, transcriptionists will never be without some sort of job. Someone mentioned data mining below, and there's also data tagging, which will probably become an *official* title here pretty soon.
There's also the opinion in
http://www.medical-transcription-and-you.com/healthcare-emr.html (you'll have to copy and paste) that there are still hundreds of millions of records being dictated the old-fashioned way, which will need transcriptionists to type them.
I believe that someone asked about this same
company a few days ago and someone else posted on the company but it would be wayyyyyyyyyyy on down the page by now or a couple of pages over. People are answering posts on various companies, it is just with so many posts by MDIers and Transcenders they are getting shifted down very fast.
Hope you are able to find the post!!
Have you asked them about it yet?
That may just mean that if you drop your signal or something you're on your own. I would think that it would severely limit their employee pool if they only hired people who had one and only one person hard-wired into the modem at any given time.
Have you asked them about it yet?
After reading the 2nd agreement that says I can't have a wireless router, but I can have a regular router with Ethernet cord, I called help desk on the chance that someone would answer at 3 AM. A guy did and said that lots of people have routers, but you can't use the wireless kind and to call back when the office is open.
