but if that is the pittance they offer for pay, I'm glad they saved me the trouble of turning them down.  Pretty soon, scrubbing toilets will pay more. 

Transcend took over MDI-FL in January of 2005.  Is there anyone who transferred to Transcend from MDI-FL in 2005 that is still working for Transcend or can remember back then, and could shed some light on how the transition went and answer some of the questions like:

1.  Did your cpl change?  Higher?  Lower?

2.  Did you have to go to a set schedule?

3.  Did you get to stay on the same accounts that you had at MDI-FL?

Any other information you could share would sure be great.

Thank you. 

I must be mentally insufficient to utilize these new-fangled gizmos.

I was not employed there then.  I have been there a little over 2 years.  I can say when I started at Axolotl there were maybe 10 to 15 acute care MTs.  We have more than doubled in size since then.  I do know that if we had work outsourced to other companies, we would not have the amount of work to transcribe that is always here.

Axolotl is also an EMR provider and if you go to their website you can read all about that area of their business. 

In my 15 years of being a trancriptionist, I have never found a better company to work for and this is why:

1.  They treat their MTs like they should be treated. 

2.  They compensate MTs the way they should be compensated. 

3.  The platform is great. 

4.  We do not run out of work and they do not overhire. 

5.  They offer great benefits.

6.  Great management and editors.

After reading so many horror stories on this site about some of the nightmares other MTs have gone through with other companies, plus the fact I have had a few myself, I am BLESSED to find such a great company.

Thank you very much for alerting us to this. 

I am ex-MW employee.  I too am going to report MW as my 2005 SS statement was not reported.  I hope they are FULLY investigated.

I am going to call SS in the morning.  Who should I notify in the Department of Labor?

I also did not have my state taxes taken out by MW, but I was required to pay my state taxes as if I were an IC in my state, even though I was an employee in this company. 

When pressing the foot pedal, sometimes it would do nothing or would hesitate before hearing any dictation.  I found this unacceptable and a pain in the butt.  I don't think Vonage is allowing MTs anymore.  At least, that's what I last heard. 

Personally, I think it is the company that should feel bad.  What did you do to make you feel bad when the company turns out not to be the same as they seemed to be in the sales pitch?  If you showed up on the first day of this job and couldn't transcribe, do you think they would hesitate to let you go? 

What we need in our industry is more courageous folks who will stand up for themselves and not take any @#$%#@#$ from these companies that basically lie to get you to work for them.  They are taking advantage of us and it is only because we are letting them get away with it.  I know, cause I've been there.  I stuck it out with one awful company for 6 months.  After that, there have been some that I've rejected before we got past the contract.  There were at least 3 that I quit after less than a week.  Same story.  The job was totally different than it was supposed to be, according to the description of the recruiter. 

Don't sweat it.  Just tell them goodbye, it didn't work out.

As stated many times, if you work your schedule, meet your line counts and produce quality documents, you will do just fine.

If you cannot produce quality documents, if you do not want to work the schedule you set and if you cannot produce the minimum line count which you were aware of when you were hired, (1200 lines), then don't come to Axolotl.

Axolotl is not the place for MTs who do their own thing. If you are disciplined, want to make good money and have good benefits, then it might be the place for you.

weekends and holidays, it is clinic work, and I do not think any of the accounts work on the weekends, but I could be wrong.  The work you get on Friday is due back on Monday morning.  You might submit your resume anyway.  The lead MT handles the hiring, and she is great.  Perhaps you could work something out.  I only work part-time, and I cannot really speak for the company, but feel free to email me if you have any other questions, and I will help if I can.

Good luck!

have not been working for nearly 2 years....just wondering what companies are out there these days that are hiring.....any suggestions appreciated....thanks

MQ is not for the transcriptionist.
