I just don't understand why so many people stay there
I was with Cymed for almost 2 years, but then they were bought out by SPI in the summer of 2006, and everything just went downhill from there. In the mid to late fall of 2006, my account manager of almost 2 years sent us all a one-line e-mail saying that she was leaving, with no explanation as to why, which was VERY strange for her. I gave it a chance and stayed for a few months after SPI took over thinking that maybe everything would be alright, but things just continued to get worse. My account must have had a different manager almost every week, and I was treated horribly by management who had no idea what they were doing. They even stopped paying me my second shift differential that I had always gotten, and no one would tell me why. Every single one of my e-mails and voice mails were left unanswered. I finally got so sick of if that I left and went to a much better company, and I am so glad that I did. That place was completely falling apart when I left a year ago, and it sounds like it still is. There are much better companies out there to work for! I know from personal experience!
Nope, didnt forget - the went grated my nerves, the other didnt
so i didnt mention it
I can't afford to stay with VR. If they paid more, I'd stay.
The situation sucks. I really liked this company when I started there. I know they read these forums, and they are aware that we are unhappy over VR line rates. They stroke us with cute emails and say we're the best, but I can't feed my family on praise. They're turning into another MedQuist, and so I'll be leaving.
Stay low and stay very, very quiet. Do not
ask questions, do not talk to the supervisors unless forced to. The answer will always be the same, that you are the only one who has an issue, everything else is perfect. Never mention anyone's name. This place has the mentality of the Borg, everyone has been assimilated, which means if your supervisor does not like you, or does not like your friend, you have no chance. You associate with so and so, so you are exactly like them. That quickly goes through the Borg network and every team lead, ROM, and person in management, including HR, is aware of it. You'll be labeled a trouble maker and your life will not be worth living. Any trial to clear your name will be done in the fashion of the trial of witches. You are in a dunking chair - if you drown you are innocent but it is too late by then.
Remember, a ROM never makes a mistake and never tells something that isn't true. They are perfect (and nastier than a pack of hiennas.)
If you run out of work, it is your fault. You are just lazy. Can't make enough to take care of your family? Too bad, you need to work harder.
And forget getting an answer from management. It doesn't
happen. So, as before, stay low and very quiet.
And do a good job? You can be assured that if you do a good job, do what you are supposed to do, and stay quiet, no one will even recognize your name. They have no idea where you work, what your schedule is, or that you even belong to Transcend.
Sorry that didnt work
Their PTO is good. Lots of ESL's. I wasn't there long enough to see about a raise, but something after 120 days they were supposed to evaluate you for it. They always pay on time. Platform is very easy to learn.
I don't know about their line counting system. I don't trust it only because several times when I would send a job I would keep getting it back several times already typed by myself. I even got a report that was already fully typed from another person, I didn't take credit for it. Trust me, they wouldn't break or abandon a report that long it had no blanks and 1 QA marker. I didn't think it was right. I asked the WFC and she said to abandon it. I got that typed report back every time I would finish a job that day. So I dont know how often that happens, but I didn't like it.
Not trying to bad talk the place, everyone was very nice, nice doesn't cut it..when it comes to work, don't expect any, and don't expect anyone to get back to you about a second acount, plan on working all weekend every weekend.
I don't know about everyone else, but when I pick a schedule, I pick it for a reason, to work it.. not to work every day and every time but that. I don't mind it here and there, but it was EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND. Sayin how they are tired of always having the same people being team players.
They require one weekend day a week. I wasn't able to work any other time really than the schedule I picked
Anyways.. I worked 5 hour days there and I ended up with no more than 200 lines a day.
Might be different for you, but I'm just giving you my experience.
Check out page 2 or 3 on the company board there is more talk about them there.
I didnt know SpongeBob was
But when I just googled it basically all of the sites had it spelled that way except for a few unoffical sites. Maybe she was checking research skills. I duno. That is pretty stupid that you would be failed over something like that though. Probably better off.
They lost a lot of us, now, didnt they?
They will realize that  doesnt cut it.
How do you know she wants a pic if you didnt apply? nothing said in ad?
hmmmmmm
Hmm, didnt see the "This is for everyone but MT

eMTS, I didnt know that!
xxx
I didnt hear that.....
I was recently offered a job with them, but it was 60 to70% ESL so i politely turned it down.
Didnt he get shot?
bang
Not to worry. Didnt think you came up with it.

I didnt see that when I logged in. Where do you find it.
:
2 days. I didnt have to call them..but if you don't
the recruiter.
noyb - I didnt notice the..
experience/no experience. sounds even more strange!
I would apply but I'm not radiology MT...but wait....I don't need experience....and I have a C-phone and internet.....but wait....I would have to work in Yorba Linda. Geez...how can I decide?????? 
I didnt know if they had the 9 foot pedal in USB or not. Where did you get yours.
Your right.. the 9-pin is becoming outdated and obsolete. If there is a USB one out there that works then I need to get one. Can I ask where you got yours and have you tried it on a laptop?
They didnt worry that it would be affordable for the MTs.
you gotta be kidding, lol
I didnt see that info on their website. nm
x
Wow..you actually even got an email about it. I didnt even get that. I dont even know what your
talking about.. Do share so I can decide if I want to be upset or not. Incentives?? who gets those.
I was thinking the same thing but didnt want to say anything LOL
LOL but a few msgs below you said you didnt know?! 6-1/2 is what I started out on.

Sorry, didnt mean to impinge your MT qualities. Do

OP did not ASK if paid spaces, SAID didnt. Re your
x
they did lay off- didnt outsource but laid off a lot
They bought another contract and then lost it so had new employees and not enough work to go around
Sorry, I didnt receive an email. Could you try again. nm
:
Do you not come on board until then? Didnt they put you on something temporarily? (sm)
Every company has their ups and downs but in my opinion, this company is worth hanging in for.
Good luck.
G.P. = guinea porcine. (Didnt think that would be
being used as G.P. (guinea porcine) she can leave to work in corporate world, Walmart, start own business, whatever. I hope you get this cause I dont know how Else I could explain it.
I didnt have the best experience with her either, but that was 2 years ago...not as flexible as you
that will change!! Trust me, I am not the ONLY one who experienced this.
Thx for explaining, otherwise it didnt make sense
,,,
I was curious, but it was rather vague, and no I didnt respond. nm
xxxx
Did you read post? OP didnt ask if pay for spaces.
x
No I didnt see that, is there anything this country values anymore SM
and is willing to pay other than tech stuff? I know my son went to college for graphic design and he doesnt make much.
Sorry, geez I am new to the Company Board, didnt
even know what it was about until a week ago!!!
Wrong. We had our turn and didnt like it and left.
x
show me where I said you personally didnt not or could not type ESLs
Get your facts straight. I said a good MT can do these and should expect them in our line of work.
Why call a doctor "Crappy" because he doesnt do what you want? It is your attitude that makes MT look bad.
I never once was talking about your skills only your attitude.
Are they doing away with SE status altogether now. I didnt get my packet yet. What do they plan
to do with the SE people.
Oh Geez- i didnt read what I wrote - correction in msg
Has anyone else gotten late paychecks from Meridian in the past.
I was up working half the night. So please dont hound me.
Same here, I was cheering for the Giants since the Colts didnt make it...sm
that is my team. I love the Manning guys.
Thats Right its not breaking any codes to tell the hospital that you didnt get paid for the work. nm

It wouldn't surprise me that the co. didnt want to pay extra for something that helps me but coul

Ascend is advertising pay at 11 cpl. Didnt they have problems paying or is that resolved.
Inquiring minds need to know.
Okay..I think I missed the boat all the way around. Where is the "company forum." I didnt find
anything in the newsletter area except old news.
Axolotl- Are you eligible to retest if you didnt make it the first round?
It's embarrassing to have 15 years experience and not pass. I really feel it was a sound quality issue but that is just my opinion. I wondered if they gave second chances.
You're right -- ignorance means a person didn't know, and I didnt. Sorry. nm
Sounds Great.. I have renewed faith but I didnt really doubt they cared..
They are pretty great to work for..
I think it's Texas. I'm glad I didnt complete the testing. The sound quality was bad.
I want to think that this Rose was defending one of her newer MTs that had been burned by a former employer for nonpayment so I find this interesting that they would turn out the be the same way.. Wow...
dont misunderstand me...we didnt work knowing we wouldnt get paid
How stupid would that be? We were paid a month behind. So when the 18th came we expected our check for the previous month. So that would be one paycheck. No one willingly works for free. I know i certainly wouldnt have typed as much as i did for her - taken time away from everything/everyone else - if i KNEW she wasn't going to pay me. Seriously, I hope she rots for what she has put me and my family through. I'm not talking about a couple hundred bucks. I'm talking thousands of dollars. Yep, I'm ticked
Of course you mean No communication.
x
Don't do it! Bad communication there.
Bad platform and bad pay.
