TransTech - corrected post
I was offered a position with Transtech today. The recruiter gave me a lot of info, but I completely drew a blank regarding any questions I had. I work for MQ now, and am looking to leave because I believe it is only going to get worse, and I can't take any more cuts in pay. So here goes:
1. Do they do ASR, and if so, what is their percentage of line rate (i.e., Medquist currently pays 70%).
2. Do they pay any shift differential?
3. Do they allow split shifts or 10 hour shifts for 4 days if 1 is a weekend day?
4. As far as line rate, they offered me 1.25 cents less a line than I am currently making, but their incentive program, from what I understood, seems pretty decent.
5. Are they easy to work with, QA, supervisors, etc.
Any and all information anyone can provide would be appreciated. This is a big decision I need to make by Monday, and am a little nervous, but think I would like to take the leap!
Already corrected this above with the "Oops" post.

mine post immediately as soon as I end the document.

I think it goes with the MDI post a little bit lower down

Unfortunately, the "many MT jobs" have very low pay rates, and getting lower and lower. nm

I think I would rather be corrected by the
dictator that some of the nit-picking QA people who check every a/and/the, every comma, etc; especially love those QA people who believe their way is the only way and it is wrong if they say it is. These are the kind of companies that I want to stay completely away from. It's sad though because some of the companies are probably very good to work for otherwise.
What are you being corrected on?? If it
is account specifics, bone up on them. If it is your style of transcription, i.e., they are following BOS and you aren't, or the other way around. If it is simple mistakes, then take the time to proof your work.
I stand corrected...
I see. I stand corrected.

Ahh, I stand corrected. nm

Corrected mistakes - sm
I agree with you about the stupid mistakes that are corrected by the dictator. I feel terrible when the doctor spells out BOWEL or other simple words. The MTs who type like that are a disgrace to the profession. You HAVE to pay attention to every word, know the difference between ileum and ilium, in these diagnostic imaging reports. I don't blame the radiologist for being upset - and the MT deserved being yelled at for it. There is NO excuse. I'm ashamed everytime I have a dictator spell out something so simple, but I do appreciate the occasional spelling of an obscure illness, etc., although I don't trust their spelling, I always check it myself, but their spelling is a help to looking it up. Why throw stones about the offshore MTs when there are MTs here just as bad, or worse? No wonder accounts are constantly changing over to other companies.
Your'e right, the errors have been corrected.
It was written in a fit of passion after just learning that I lost my job, excuse me. I hope you are never put in this position and don't ever get emotional about losing your job. I am sure you can walk on water also.
I stand corrected
No, I did not know many of the things you say here. The only pharmacy techs I know are people with very little training, not like anything you mention, and that does frighten me I must admit.
I do know that many of the newbies seem to have a poor work ethic and don't seem to have had very much training. I see that where I work. And I do know someone who had been in a mentoring program offered by a national and had a horrible experience and barely kept herself alive on what she made.
I did not know the other things you mentioned. I am glad you filled me in on these things. I want to learn all I can about our situation. I welcome feedback and I sure wish the things you mentioned were discussed here. I'd be grateful if you could advise me where to turn to find out such things and keep track of what is really going on, because I apparently am not getting the whole story. I'd also be interested in your ideas for what to do as you seem to know what you're talking about.
I apologize if I offended you or anyone else.
i corrected myself. PAY ATTENTION LOL

oh - I stand corrected. So who's LK?
I would rather be corrected than look too stupid. sm
Maybe that poster or emailer or whatever was trying to help the poster not look bad?
I am playing devil's advocate I guess.
I stand corrected.....sm
The M-F schedule was not an option when I hired, but that may have just been with the account I hired for.
Stand corrected
yes, I meant between sentences, not words. See what working all hours of the day does to you?
Then I stand corrected.
Thanks for the clarification.
Execuscribe - I stand corrected
Thank you for pointing out actual fraud amount. I stand corrected. Article states $379,968. Kodak alleged near $500k. It was $1.36 million and $632,277 that was ordered to be paid by Linda and husband for damages stemming from the convicted fraud.
And again, you are correct in that it was not Execuscribe by that name in these particular convictions, but former company name of Emtex - whose assets were then acquired by Execuscribe at a deflated value, and then quickly transferred those Execuscribe stocks to her sons -- which generated a new action, and was declared null and void by the court in an an attempt to "hinger, delay or defraud" her creditors. So, yes, Execuscribe was named in this court action.
Maybe I'm off by a few years -- but I remember this business being Emtex, Executive Secretarial, and now Execuscribe. That's SEVERAL names. If I'm wrong on that - sorry. But my point is, one GOOD name should carry you through your whole professional life, don't you think?
I stand corrected and apologize to OSi
And, love the red coffee cup and candy. 
Look above, I corrected myself, how rude people are here.nm
nm
You're right, I stand corrected.
I did not accept the offer as I had much more pride and hope for the profession I have chosen.
Also, my reply was not a company bash session and it was entirely professional. I point that out as my professional pride is the reason I declined the offer from Shapin, which was made by a woman who seemed proud of low quality and the insult they are making to our profession.
Now, I can almost promise that no one will post a professional response that would agree with you. Any real professional would never accept the positions they hire for, unless they have drastically changed. And if they HAVE drastically changed, I definitely take back all I say and hope for the best for them and their employees.
Fallyn
I stand corrected. It is HIPAA
Doctors would be okay if you corrected your sentence LOL

I stand corrected. Guess all accounts are not
created equal and sounds like you have a good one.
You're right - I stand corrected. So much for *rules* NM
nm
Are you saying that you are immediately
no message
You will get set up immediately with
no problems and they are the best company I have worked for as far as helping solve problems immediately.
The one immediately above us. nm
I would be looking for another job immediately...sm
Good luck on the matter.
I stand corrected. That's good to know. I have found them to be fair also.

Well I just re-sent my resume to the corrected email address he gave.
I just got it back saying it is undeliverable. Makes me wonder what type of company this is if they can't get their email straight.
Sure, we will all email you immediately. Are you really
ewwwwww!!
If it was me, I would have told them no way immediately. nm
You showed great restraint.
I quit immediately.
You got paid for the straight typing, no templates.
They advertise quite a lot and that's probably the reason why!
Need ananswer immediately, please!!
On Friday of last week, I drove almost 100 miles to an interview that was supposed to be a subcontractor position. I was asked to come in for the day and type some reports to get familiar with the account and to see if I wanted to do it. I drove the 100 miles, typed for the company. Keeping in mind that I was a subcontractor and could work and quit when I wanted, I decided to give it a try. As soon as I got home, she called and wanted me to work on Saturday to get the hospital caught it. So, I transcribed on Saturday. Then, I received a call on Sunday requesting that I type. So, I typed on Sunday. I got phone calls all day yesterday, Monday, pleading that I work and the hospital is seeing that I am logged on, but no work is coming in. The work was not coming in because I received Japanese/Chinese discent dictators and it literally took me an hour a report. I received calls all day long. To work, change things, work more, and I was told now that I was their go-to girl and needed me to work, work, work. I could not log off because I would get calls. So, today, which is Tuesday, their system broke down and when they finally fixed it, guess what, they needed me to work an additional 8 hours. This was after I got up early to work, but due to their system break down, I was hours behind. After listening to 3 messages on my answering machine, I sent an email telling her I have accepted another position. Four hours after I sent her the email, she called me up and asked why I was not working for her and that she is going to lose her account. I asked her if she got my email. SHE SAID SHE GOT MY EMAIL, BUT DID NOT REALIZE I WAS NOT WORKING FOR HER ANYMORE. How ridiculous is this? She said she needed me to log on now because I was her go-to girl and she was going to lose her account. I am exhaused, but she needs me until Friday or she will lose her account. I am a subcontractor. Also, I signed no papers and she could shaft me for my money if I stay. WHAT SHOULD I DO? SHOULD I LOG IN AND WORK UNTIL FRIDAY AND HOPE SHE PAYS ME OR JUST MOVE ON? She sounded desperate, but she has worked me out all ready.
I quit immediately, too.
It won't be a blip on the radar of D's sell-out, unfortunately, but at least I know I did the right thing for myself and my belief system/ethics.
Congratulations to us, and anyone else who is in a position to do the same!
Sure I got the email, I stand corrected. Three titled employees are listed & there is one more
that simply has not been announced yet. I will say again, could be nothing at all, could just be a change of guard. Didn't say whatever was going on was good or bad, but wondered what is going on. I will be the first to say change is often a very, very good thing and I am hoping for good!
I'd see a red flag immediately if a company sm
waited a year to test me. From everything you said, it sounds like this company is desperately trying to fill a quota of US MTs to land/keep this account. Anyone born in the USA would do. If you were sincere in not wanting to work for companies that offshore, you should say so clearly right at the start and not go through all the traveling, testing, and ironing! I'm sorry this turned out to be such a negative for you. Best to do research beforehand.
I heard back immediately
I got a one sentence email saying I didn't have enough experience. Must be pretty difficult work. I have been typing all work types for 19 years, especially psych and radiology..the two on the list. I have also done ESL in every job I have ever been employed. Oh well, asked her to keep my name in the barrell!
start immediately to think about ESLs........
nm
I too made quota immediately
!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was immediately offered a position with
Webmedx after the interview. I didn't have to test based on my experience and score on the verbal testing.
If you applied through TransHealth they still seem to be operating as two separate companies and dealing with a different group of people. I applied to them before the merge and I never heard from them after submitting my resume.
Stop typing immediately....and see what happens.
They'll be blowing your phone up. Tell them, when they put your check in the bank, you'll start back typing, because you don't type for free. They gave you a date you will get paid and they should honor that. In the meantime, be looking for something else.
You are right. I am going to implement this title immediately. Thank you very much! nm

I would immediately eliminate Focus.
It is Indian run, low pay, and constant turnover. I haven't heard much good about Diskriter either, though certainly better than Focus. KS is good for some, not for others. It wasn't a good fit for me. Axolotol pays better than any of them, better benefits. The account they are hiring for has a high percentage of very challenging ESL dictators. The company itself is great though.
All of you should stop working immediately so that they can see how valuable
you are. Let them work it out then.
docking $10 per report for mistakes. I immediately sent in

This discussion will cease immediately. You are WAY off base. We do not
cater to any company in the manner you describe just because a company may be a sponsor. The reason that we remove content about ANY company is when posters use this site as a sounding board of their complaints posting to the point where the thread flames. At that point, I will remove the thread and tell posters to take discussion to email until things settle down.
If you have problems with a company, you need to take it up with them. Sounding off on this forum about the inner workings of any company is innapropriate. Posters need to use tact when posting.
Many of you know me well enough by now that I would not remove posts just because some MTSO tells me to.
