TransTech DOES NOT CARE about their MT's anymore ! ! !
Absolutely no way for ALL MT's to get their same paycheck amounts. Some of the *favs* of E gets their paycheck/lines.
Don't listen to anyone who says their paychecks have not DECREASED over the past year or more! They are not telling the truth!!! Some of E's *favs* may get close, since they throw in the work into queues, rather than letting the work flow ! ! ! !
Why even ask the question. TT has BADLY OVERHIRED to cover their butts and they don't care if ALL of us have work or not. You can just wait until December when supposed account is coming onboard, that there will be the excuse of holiday time. TT is not the same company as it was 2 and 3 years ago . . . downhill, downhill, downhill . . .
What jerks! I don't even care about this company anymore...sm
I did but I don't now. They don't care about us. We should form together and start a new company and take their accounts! LOL!
I dont' care to read the packet anymore.t
I was all a twitter when the letter first came, email, whatever,nervous that I was gonna lose my bennies, worked myself into a lather...now I don't give a ****. Let the chips fall, I'll survive it. I even forgot it was October, thanks for reminding me. 6 days until D day. Whatever..
Because these companies no longer care about their employees anymore. nm

TT doesn't care about their MT's anymore; just under Dictaphone's direction and OVERHIRE du
knowing that they were going to lose MT's due to the recent strong enforcement policy that every MT going to VR and low PAY. They hired early to take care of the loss of MT's due to this policy.
Most of their accounts were acquired through Dictaphone and are Dictaphone controlled!!!! TT has picked up an account or 2 on their own, but most work is handed down by Dictaphone.
Of course, there is always TT mgmt's excuse of it being a holiday, doctors on vacation, low census at hospitals due to patient's not getting admitted due to a new year with insurance new deductible, and of course, that always EXCUSE of new accounts coming onboard (and NOT), but we can't tell you about it !!!!!
They are actually trying to get rid of MT's who have tried VR and did not like it, so are continuing to get paid their normal, low line rate by doing straight transcription, like we get a FORTUNE at TT anyway for straight transcription. But mgmt has to find a way to keep their paychecks GOING UP AND UP . . .
45-50 reports acute care
not sure about clinic work.
Thanks for seeing my point, but now I just feel so lonely, lol... sm
Since I work for Transcend and got the e-mail that they bought MDI-MD I felt very sorry for all of you. Even though I know all of you are not in Maryland I still felt a connection as I was born in Bethesda and lived in Gaithersburg most of my life. I am still trying to make money with Transcend as I cannot afford to give up or stop eating, but I feel the way you all feel now and have felt that way since the company I worked for was bought by them. We also found out about a week before the transition happened, which was such a shock. I wish all of you good luck!!
I don't care how you feel. You said everyone attacked you, tho.
Most of the posts are NOT from QA.
I could really care less at this point
The whole reason I even posted is because I'm tired of seeing all the bashing and never a good thing mentioned. You guys want to dig in and talk horribly to people and about people, but these are folks I actually work with. I talk to Tonya when she's going 0 to 90 and trying to get everything going. She really works her butt off and all people can do is gripe about her. Yet she put on the brakes to call me and talk to me when my uncle passed and I was miserable. I don't know a lot of bosses that would do that. I've talked to Rahul when he's been working all day to get paychecks ready to go out. I have an awesome QA who takes the time to explain things to me if needed and will actually LISTEN if I think something differently than what she does. I have met two other QAs on other accounts who always tell us they are only a message or email away if I need help.
The problem is that people get on here and feel they can hide behind their screen names and bash people and their companies. I guarantee you if we were in an office and all had to see each other everyday most things on here would never be said.
For those of you that don't work for us or with us, it's really not your place to say anything since you don't know the day to day operations.
I'm sorry if I sound rude, but it just gets so ridiculous. The bottom line is this is a decent GROWING company, and while things may not be perfect, these are real people trying to do us right and trying to do the accounts right. I don't know everything that goes on behind the scenes with the company, but I really don't care. Maybe Mediscribes does outsource, so what? I guarantee you just about every company in the US outsources SOMETHING. We are just not a self sufficient country.
All I'm trying to say is people need to learn to cut others some slack. If something isn't right, then setup a time to talk to whomever you need to to get things worked out. If your unhappy, then go. Life's to short to do what doesn't make you happy. But the ones of us that do enjoy CS have just as much right to stick up for our company as the ones that dislike it have the right to say so.
where they 35 comparable reports - or 35 short and 35 long reports? nm

Typing ER reports and radiologogy reports
are completely different with regards to pay. For typing regular reports, that is a very fine line rate. For typing radiology reports, it would be horrid.
I feel the same way...I love working for Keystrokes and feel blessed that I have such a wonderful jo

Didnt think of it cause I dont care. Wouldnt care if

Excellent point, and point in case
look at the charlatan christian in the
Whitehouse who uses religion to push his agenda...
Christian IS as Christian DOES...
I understand your point, my point is why can't MTs and QA work together..
being QA doesn't mean you are above everyone else, you are just an extra set of ears...and why do so many MTs take offense to QA??? That is my point...you made have had bad experiences in the past with QA but not all QA are bad...
I feel the same way. I'm irritable because I feel
and that my years of experience overall, and past few years of busting my @$$ for them hasn't been appreciated or noticed in the least.
We're all just cogs in the wheel.
Actually, I can see your point AND the opposing point
.
Of course they care. They care you make just a tad bit
this way they don't have to shell out the sign ons, the full-time benefits. Oh, they keep watch on how you are doing and their budget. THey will use you til you drop and try to tell you that it is your lack of skills or speed keeping you from the full time pay which a person can't even pay bills with to begin with. Imagine that.. Use your skills, work hard, try your best, do well on QA, but make short of full time so no benefits, no extras, and no paying bills. This adds up to you broke, them rich, and a no-win situation... for the MT that is...
Not too much anymore
Generally they don't want you working for another company in the same geographical area, but don't say too much about having other jobs. They know it's hard to make a decent living with one. I work for one national as an MT and for a smaller company as an Editor and either cares, they just care if you slack on one to work for the other.
That was last mo. Before that I used to do okay, but that isn't possible at MQ anymore. nm
nm
Yup, most definitely. Can hardly get 200 lph anymore.

Rae are you out there anymore?

Do you have to use their CPU or don't they do this anymore? Thx. nm

I don't think she is there anymore.

RUN....they don't do DD anymore
x
They don't anymore.

Not there anymore but the same
experience because if you ask a question you get many different answers and you never know what one is right. I hated the platform and QA was the rudest QA I've ever encountered in my 7 years of doing transcription.
Not anymore. Martha is gone. NM

Don't work there anymore,
so I can't check. Just wondering if it someone who deserved it or someone who was backstabbed.
I don't work for them anymore because (sm)
my phone started ringing off the hook for new local accounts, so I had to leave them, but if that hadn't happened, I would have stayed. Very nice, very easy to deal with, always pay on time every week, great accounts.
They don't want to pay benefits anymore.
These are all trip ups for you to lose your benefits. Power outages, emergencies, nothing matters when it comes to adding up to 40 hours, without which, you become a part timer without benefits - only production and PTO time is accountable towards those 40 hours - and about that so called wonderful PTO time most of us just starting accumulating 11 months ago:
In the 2080 hours which make up a "production" work year, you are now expected to produce 2000 of them with no exception other than the 80 PTO hours. In those 80 hours you must fit vacation, sick time for you and kids, holidays, personal time of whatever kind (keeping in mind most of us are the glue of our families;i.e. the mother). It was better when they didn't give any PTO and you had reasonable, practical, human beings in a office to confer with about when you needed time off - and by the way - if you worked in a 9-5 job, your production time would be 6-1/2 hours a day, not 8.
This, being done to educated professional people who are NOT easily replaced? I think not . It's not worth it. There are still plenty of doctors out there who are willing to work one-on-one with an intelligent person rather than to be slickered by some smooth talking corporate job hunter. So, it's good bye to being a company employee for me.
Same here. It's very difficult to get anymore than 200 lph
Am considering quitting also. Have averaged 300-400 lph at any other place I've worked. I also agree with you about the emailing bit. After every update about how much work is on the system, it's ALWAYS followed by an email from the owner about a minute later telling you to either stretch more or threatening you with their PRN Program or that you'll lose the work to offshoring, etc., etc...
Have nothing against anyone there, but I very rarely ever break 200 lph working on their hospital accounts. Bayscribe definitely gives low line counts.
After 12 years of doing this, I don't need them anymore. I think that KS was being
hard on me because I have had to take a lot of time off, often at the last minute. They just don't care that I am depressed and have a lot going on.
That's the problem with these big companies. We are just a number. When they were smaller, they would cover for a person in my situation and care, but now they just criticize work and get picky picky picky about it. They forget the times that I pitched in on my days off and just focus on the last few months. THAT is why I am mad and frustrated. They treat everyone like a number. I think this industry is in trouble because of the big companies.
I guess we won't see their ads anymore.

Hardworking MTs, if u can't take it anymore
This career has careened into the toilet. If you are a good MT and can type fast and have good grammar, there is always a job for you as a legal secretary. This is NO JOKE. They will hire you without legal experience. They do pay very well. Your job will never be replaced by an Indian or other offshore person. The medical benefits are not always great but sometimes they are. Just know that you do have another career waiting. I am not saying lawyers are sweet to work for, but they do pay, they do give generous bonuses at CHRISTMAS, they let you say Christmas even if they are Jewish. They will become very dependent on you, as lawyers can't tie their own shoes. Think about it!
Sad as it is, nothing is sacred anymore.

Who doesn't anymore?
Fact of life. More Editor positions now available, less typing, hourly salaries.
I never hear about QT anymore. Are they still here?
nm
I wonder if K.C. will have a job.. there are no 'U.S. Operations' anymore to be VP of!!! nm

That's all it ever is to ANY company anymore.

Not so frustrated anymore
I was frustrated a little while back. My account manager quit and I wasn't getting paid for my 2nd shift differential, but now things seem to have settled down. They have a new person doing payroll, and everything seems to be fine now. I have always loved the account that I work on and I even just got a new secondary account, so things seem to be getting somewhat back to normal there.
Does anyone not assert themselves anymore?
I am sure i will get bashed for this, but frankly, when taking a job, why not say, could you please put me on the account that i am going to be on long term? It makes sense for them to allow this so you will not waste more time learning specs, etc. If it is a difficult account said company should let you know that or they aren't worth working for in the first place. You can win if you ask questions and say what you want. If they don't stick to their end, fine, leave.
Anymore info?
Do they treat their employees well, pay on time, have plenty of work, etc.? I am kind of on the fence about leaving my current company for them. I heard that they do pay a little less. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I am IC and do not use IM to communicate anymore - sm
It was just a way to watch me and for them to treat me as employee and not IC...no more of that.
Who was that with and why don't you work on it anymore? nm

One of the AC is "suddenly" not an AC anymore

"Network" -TT (I'm mad as **** and I am not going to take it anymore!
For those of you who remember the movie.
don't have to worry anymore, I am done at JLG nm

Not a sheep anymore
Only when WE the people stop being sheeple will the SUITS pay attention.
Enjoy your day.
Who's pay isn't insulting anymore?
The best I've ever been offered was 8 cpl for standard transcription on an account that only had editing at half that. The MT business just does not seem fair anymore. Sometimes I think they don't want us to make a living. But it is not like they can survive without us. Besides greed, what are they (MTSOs) thinking these days?
It is not hourly. They do not do that anymore.
