I almost never run out of work. Good for you that you found some place else that is a better fit for you. However, some of us are happy and do well there.

Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

Apparently nowhere - they spend all the time on here....sm
It sounds a few of them need psychiatry help.
Exactly! I spend more time waiting for
work than I do actually typing! Such a joke!
I do not want to spend my UNPAID time...
on the phone dealing with computer problems almost every day and then make less per hour while doing it.
I was thinking that maybe they would up the pay after a period of time and then it could be a decent place to work as far as editing compensation goes. Like I said before, I think MQ has the right idea. They are paying 80%, which would equal 6 cpl if Transcend went with 80% instead of the current 55%, which equals around 4 cpl. I wouldn't be on here fussing if that were the case. Hopefully, management will come to understand that the cut was just too much for a lot of us, especially the higher producers. And you are right, there are a lot of people making the same amount or more editing than they did typing, but these are the people who were slower to begin with. THAT IS A PROVEN FACT!! I believe they will love the new editing and compensation. I do, however, feel that it is not a fit for the higher producers, plain and simple. So what more do I want, I want to paid a fair wage for my experience and the work that I produce. That is what I want, and I don't think that is too much to ask. I am not trying to break the company, just make a decent living. I want the company to profit along with the employees. That is what I would want if it were a perfect world.
Server down more than it is up. You have to spend a ton of time with the
It sucks totally!
To spend more time with my kids
I knew that I could get a job doing this anywhere in the country and make an okay living doing it. It would also enable me to work around my life, not live around my work.
That's so true. Sometimes I spend a lot of time (sm)
looking up old reports, more than I would like; but I want to put out a good report, not a piece of crap. I want to be proud of my work which I am.
No. That's a company who won't spend the time it
takes for you to get these talkers down. The test then pretty much says nothing about your actual transcription skills.
In my opinion.
transcribing....you spend your time.

Maybe you should spend your time working instead
of wasting time on stuff that doesn't matter. Don't you have anything better to do with your time? You actually wasted time thinking this clever little thing up? Go find another job and quit trying to be an MT advocate. This is getting really old. Yawn! Not every company has cut wages in half, so quit using the company board to get back at the your sad company. Yawn again!
Wow, I spend my time typing and waiting...
I pay not one bit of attention to my queue. I had not noted this AT ALL, but thanks for the heads up. Why is TT so shooting themselves in the foot? I left a shady company to come to TT just for that reason, because they had a great reputation and did not pull stuff like this. I certainly hope they realize what they are doing and nip it in the bud NOW. If they can salvage their reputation at this point, they may be able to pull out being one of the 3 to 5 left standing with all the work when this shakes out. Otherwise, they will be laughed at like MQ.
If you spend a little time reading the archives you'll see
lots of posts about how many are unhappy at Focus and are looking or left.
Please name the company and save us the time we might spend applying. nm

The "lead" probably quit if she had to spend her time begging for workers...sm
Doubt she was demoted - leads are too hard to come by. She probably quit management so she could get lines herself, or quit completely because she got tired of having to constantly recruit for accounts that were understaffed.
And to top that off Laurie and I spend more time sending files, training, and doing other managerial

I'd have to agree with the testing of 6 voice files. Turned me off. Who has time to spend doing a
of those tests... I need a job not a day of testing.
If you like to be switched on accts all the time.

TWS 3.8, just seems strange for this time of year. I have 3 accts. NM

They were very nice and paid on time right from the start, but both accts. I got put on I couldn'

Quick! SPEND it! SPEND it !!!!!

It is not just a slow time....they lost a huge acct and moved many MTs to other accts.......

TransTech, some MedWare accts., Amphion, Commonwealth (in CT.), Charts in Time, Focus. nm

Was there a short time last year. You work as an employee, not IC. Different software/diff. accts.

Ya know, even if I spend time during my shift or after that shift
it is still MY time, expected by the company, and I am not getting paid for it regardless. I don't answer my phone while I am working, never did, never will. What other profession, while probably punching a clock, do folks work for free? If I worked in an office doing this, that time would be paid - say 15 minutes a day x 5 days a week at even $10/hour = $50 a month - and it is more time spent than that to deal with the email thing and the reminders and the changes in specifics and logging in and out of 3 different accounts when primary is out of work. GRRR.
I don't change jobs easily either, glad you are happy where you are - but producing 1400 lines of ACCURATE text will end my career soon (and probably yours also) and then what are we all to do? My goal is not to work more, work harder and longer hours to produce a salary I can live on.
I agree they should spend
some time trying to correct the problem, but the main problem was the line count situation on the Vianetta platform. When I started with them, it was lovely. Work was flowing, no major problems. Then they changed platforms. That's when the problems came. Mgmt there kept telling us they were working on the problems with the line count, but nothing ever changed. Every payday same thing - we are working on it.. yada yada yada. So the moment you question the higher-ups about the line count they want to get ugly with you. Like we weren't supposed to ask about our line count. And you know, in the end, if they would have been just a little bit more understanding and more willing to explain to us what was really going on, things might have been different.
and I agree with you. I spend
so much time making sure sometimes I've done it as right as can be done that I, don't have the volume others might produce, but I believe I have the quality. If I was the boss, I'd sure eliminate the lazy ones.
I truly think that if every doctor or dictator had to spend
was forced to listen to themselves for a period of time...say an hour or two, I would almost bet the farm that a lot of mumblemouths, yawners, eaters, and people who dictate in the bathroom while they are flushing would change their habits radically. Or sending their dictation EXACTLY the way they say it...um...uh...uh...ummmm........hmmmm.........dead air....You know the ones.
No one will ever convince me differently. LOL. IN a perfect world maybe. in the MT world??? Not!!!
If docs would spend 5 seconds...sm
spelling another doctor's name, which they believe we're automatically supposed to know how to spell, it would save a lot of grief. But MTSOs are quiescent about this, even though they know it's a hardship on us...what the heck, it's not THEIR time. Don't want to spell a doc's name... their 5 seconds is worth more than 10 minutes of my time looking it up. Tough!! Blanks are in. Let THEM fill it in.
They sure didn't spend $ on raises for us NM

If you go to the same store every day and spend a lot of money and your neighbor
and the storeowner gives your neighbor a $50 discount for being a new shopper, would you feel entitled to a discount because you gave the shopper so much of your business? Better yet, big insurance companies send a lot of business to doctors and hospitals and they get discounts on the medical bills that individual patients with no insurance can't get. Are the big insurance companies entitled to this because they give more business than the individual patients?
Why pay that for a field that is drying up? Spend money going to
kdkdkd
What does that have to do with MT? I don't care how the owners spend their money. sm
You obviously need professional help. My paycheck is always correct and on time and I am pleased with my pay. Even IF the owner is a big gambler and spends her money on slots (which I don't believe), WHO CARES?
You really should find something healthier to obsess about.
In my limited jobseeking experience I'm finding I only get to learn line rate after I spend hours
.
yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM

MQ accts not on DQS
When our office was closed we were all transferred to Foxboro because none of our accts at that time were on the new platform, they were on MTS. Some of those accts since have gone up on the new platform and some are still on MTS--either way we still have NO WORK
No more accts on WP5.1...all are now
on the FN platform, which is Word based.
yes to all the above - at least on the accts I was on.

They don't outsource VA accts because they can't (sm)
Contracts with the fedgov won't allow it. Funny how the gov't won't allow VA files to be sent overseas, but they don't bother putting a stop to the rest of ours going huh?
Webmedx does on certain accts, you have to ask. nm

Proscipt new accts
Nope..just takes some getting used to. I take all the work I can get.
So is this all QA or just those on the dropped accts?
Just wondering!
re wav or internet accts
mine have been lower on work but not running out. I was told by my liasion that if there is no work you are not expected to keep your committment. I would suggest any of these things be directly discussed with your liasion so that there are no misunderstandings. Most any MT work will fluctuate some. I sure wouldn't turn away from MDI based on these concerns.
No Work Either and I am on one of the new accts

I have 4 accts and still run out. I am requesting another. nm.

MDI Lanier Accts
I, too, will be starting on a Lanier acct in January. Please keep us informed as to how you like it, as I am also curious, anxious to know what to expect. I worked on Lanier over 10 years ago, but can't remember what I liked or didn't like about it. Thanks for any info you are willing to provide once you get started and good luck to you!
Yes, they definitely are - new accts coming on sm
and there was a referral bonus notice put out a few weeks ago.
