kept forgetting to pay me for spaces. At first, I was told that they did not pay for spaces, but I had an email stating that she did pay for spaces; so, I copied the email to them and got a check for the difference. Each paycheck was incorrect and I kept having to call them to get them to correct it. Seach the archives. I am not the only one this happened to. After I stopped working for them, It took them 6 months to send me my last paycheck.

I hope your friend has stopped working for her.
Transcription Matchmaker stopped working w/ Cbay
Heard same feedback from other MTs.
Why can't they be stopped from doing this? It's been

Stopped by to ask the same thing.

Maybe you did not do enough that they would know that you stopped OR maybe they were glad to see you
and you saved them the time of terminating you. HA!
I believe they have stopped hiring PT, only FT

I stopped speaking out because SM
in the past, they had cheerleaders who came to this board who would attack people who gave true information regarding the company. It may look like the archives have little information and the reason they do is because a lot of the posts about DR have been deleted because the threads degenerated into name-calling.
The same people who attacked still work for the company (management), so I wouldn't bet that things have changed there.
Me too. I have stopped even considering anywhere else. I am here until retirement.
And that is such a stress-free thing, never to have to retrain for a new company again!
So what stopped you from speaking SM
to your supervisor before? Are you saying that you've been sitting there feeling bad about your financial situation all this time and just today decided to call and DO something about it?
I think maybe the Grinchy bully (and I am not serious when I say that, I feel he/she was truly helping you) motivated you to take some action.
I stopped about a year ago and
Don't miss it one bit and making more money - including benefits, PAID vacation, no work on weekends and holidays, etc. I'm 52 years old and couldn't be happier with deciding to get out. I still visit this board and the same things are being said about this profession that was said 10+ years ago. This field will NEVER change.....so I did.
I can see your point but I stopped beig a
A company I worked for once sent out an email from the OWNER asking all of us loyal to her (cough, spew) would keep a list of screen names of people with bad attitudes so they would be sure to not hire them or to fire them if they were already working for that company. I turned notice that day and went to a professional MTSO.
They must have stopped doing so. I worked there as an IC for a while in the past.

I, for one, am glad those emails stopped:-)
They were constantly interrupting my work and really made no difference to me. I work my shift and I can tell by the times of the jobs if we're on schedule or not. Of course, I'm radiology and for some reason I was also getting acute care updates, so double whammy.
Why has Amphion overtime been stopped?
I was thinking of applying with them mainly because of that. Like the person asked below has the overtime policy changed or are they just caught up?
they stopped due to the banking crisis

I worked for a company that stopped DD as JLG did. They
went belly up a short time later. The company was local to JLG. I didn't buy the bank instability crap that was being posted about JLG. I personally don't know any details, but having been through a similar situation I would be VERY concerned.
I agree 100%, I stopped coming to this
board for a long time because of it and I hesitate to ask a question or make a comment because you never know who will blast you, so
Thank You!!
I stopped thinking of this as a profession
and now think of it as a job. Fortunately, in the days of when MTs were of value and were paid accordingly, I paid off my house and don't have that hanging over my head. If I had not, being single, I would not be able to pay my house payment today. No pay raise for so many years I can't remember and now seeing post after post about 7 cents per 65 character line and people taking these jobs, it will be more like community service.
I am making sure I put some money away each payday because when that day comes, I'm going to apply at Target or the local Goodwill. I really do mean that. I have worked for 26 years now doing this. I have a dozen years left to work before I can retire.
We were not overpaid when we were making money. We were paid accordingly.
As far as recommending this line of work to someone, that is something I never would do.

Thought so, I stopped testing! sm
I never finished all the testing and thought it was ridiculous! I felt exactly like you are feeling.
I have been there 5 years. What changed? They stopped catering to sm
employees who walked all over them and started recognizing those of us that do a good job. They took away ICs and made people accountable for their commitments. They added benefits, added direct deposit, got a bigger office, added more staff in the office, and continued to grow.
I honestly believe that it was a very few people who were saying the negative comments but they were loud and had time on their hands.
They then moved to another company and decided to bash them, then another company and bash them, and so on. There are some people that never are happy and those that are let go tend to be the nasty ones on the boards.
The only problem I ever had was one check 4 years ago but direct deposit solved all that.
I think the owner let go a little where needed and stopped taking it all so personally. She is a tough one now but still nice, if that makes sense, just doesn't take cr*p from everyone.
I am on there too. I stopped posting much anymore because the bashers. sm
We were accused by nasty posters that we air dirty laundry on here. Other times, we are too cheerful. Other times, we must be management. Because of that, I tend not to post. Should we ask them to get a yahoo board or something? How about the intranet? Does that have a board?
I just stopped reading it. I scan and read what is useful to me. (nm)

I use to work there, question for you, have they stopped the incessant micromanaging
and sending you so many instant messages it is impossible to do your work? I know loads that used to work there, all gone, horrible experiences. What a nightmare!
MDI-FL. thinking of applying. Is medical insurance still high? That is what has stopped me before
I cant remember what the cost was but it seemed to be be high for single and family coverage. Anyone know?
Ditto. I stopped even reading the company board recently
I could not even get through the conversations to the real information on companies. I come here to be informed and to be supportive, but it has gotten tiring going through the constant redundant arguing. I almost gave coming here but it is part of my day. I just come here less now.
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
working from home is awesome but working for DSG is not...
horrible dictators, sound quality is bad, no answers to emails and they run out of work consistently...that is just my experience though...
Since you've brought it up, I've stopped SM
giving the negative info because every time I have in the past I am called a disgruntled ex-employee or told that my experience has no relation to what the company is like today.
I won't repeat the information I've given in the past, anyone can find it on searches. I've decided to just let the people have their experience with the company and that experience will validate everything I've ever said about those people.
The same people own and run that company--they may have new names doing the management, but it still runs the same way.
So how is that working out for you?
x
Really? I'm working, too.
However, I'm working at the part-time job I was forced to get as soon as I figured out Transcend was screwing me. I have nearly 1,800 lines in so far today. How many do you have?
Are you still working for them? LOL
If you are, why don't you take your own advice -- leave. You're no victim except of yourself.
If you're not working for them, what's it to you? We're all adults.
Whether or not a company is "good" or "bad" (such juvenille generalizations, lol) is a matter of perspective and there are PLENTY of us who don't share your views.
Are you working for them now?
I just interviewed with them yesterday and have not heard back. Are you working for them now? How is that working out for you? Are you happy? Thanks
working
I, too have worked for other services. I think Transcend is excellent. You can make as much or as little as you want. I agree with you everyone is very nice and helpful and easy to talk to and most helpful. I have a different job at Transcend now and I think that very much, but I also transcribe whenever I get a chance.
are you still working for them?

I liked working for them but there
wasn't enough work on the 2 accounts that I was on to justify the fee for leasing the equip and I don't make enough yet to make purchases like dictaphone, lanier, etc. they always pay on time and CORRECTLY! if I ever purchase equipment like that I'll definitely be contacting them again.
And how would you know who is working and
I sure don't!
She could have another job and working before she would even
begin to qualify for unemployment. Why put herself through that anguish. She should resign and move on. She'd have a job in one day it is my guess. Unemployment should not even be an issue here. Most people can find jobs in this business very easily.
Who are you working for now? nm
nm
Yes, it's working now.
NM
I am not working for them anyway, so
PTS Dictation in Florida. They said that they only get 8 cpl, and that is why they only pay 6 cpl, and yes based upon a 65 character line. That is not my problem they don't get paid like they should. I don't work for anything less than 8 cpl.
Working for nothing
You must not be in desperate need for making any kind of money because that company paid me terrible! $4.25 per 1,000 words. I can make more money working at McDonald's flipping hamburgers!!
Not a good company to work for! Would not recommend it to anybody!
been working with them 5 yrs now - sm
owner is not very organized and was getting paid 15th and end of month but she has stretched it out to every 3 weeks now but accounts are SUPERB and once you get past the disorganization they pretty much leave you alone to work.
Oh like you are working....
If you have to keep replying obviously you are unemployed. I am not bashing anyone. You are a few others are the only ones calling people names. I never called you a name but you called me a loser. And I do think it is funny, no hilarious, because you so angry and frustrated? Do like the above poster said, take a pill!!
I don't know what you mean - it's working for me. nm

I have been working for them for 6----
months. They are very nice people. Pay is on time. Good communication. QA is excellent. I am happy with them. If you have any more questions you may email me.
Still, would be like working for nothing....
I like what I do for a living but not that much!
You must be one of the ones let go for not working??!!
I know we do have a few sour employees who chose not do complete their files within TAT and thought they could just keep going. So yes, i'm sure they are angry they got fired and they will be angry at the next company that fires them for the same thing. Sad, really!
