I have to kind of agree with you. I noticed on Performance Metrics that some are below the 125 requ
and some people have a horrendous QA submission rate. I understand some accounts require more to be sent to QA than others. But... now is the time to clean house with those consistently underperforming.
Another thing that has always irked me is the number of new MTs (and I am not trying to be offensive or mean) who come into the profession and want a day shift M-F job because they have responsibilities at home. Well, we have all been there, done that and paid our dues.
I think WMX is pretty good about not overstaffing day shift and spreading out people to meet the needs of the client. I am just saying in past places I have worked this has happened. Some of us oldies work weekends and evenings, the new ones walk in and demand the icing off the top of the cake.
See, not enough work gives me too much time to complain.
these are the kind of things
your supervisor/liason needs to hear. At least give them a chance to move you to a busier account before quitting. :)
What kind of changes? I am looking to apply there and have heard good things. I don't want
to go in blind, but all the postings are so vague. Can you give me an example so I can decide for myself?
? That's kind of a blanket statement; things are fine on the accts I work on. sm
Yes, it was slow a couple weeks ago but started picking up last week.
PS - Yes, they pay for spaces.
Work PT for a company and noticed something odd. When I work the day shift I get (sm)
actually fairly good dictators, a couple of toughies, but no more than one would expect. When I do the late afternoon/early evening shift it is like night and day. I get some really crummy dictators and tons of problem/miscoded reports.
They have said that there is no cherry picking able to be done with this program so I just have to wonder if the crappy dictators can't get to the dictate stations until after 4 p.m. or what?
Nuff said, back to work. Thanks for letting me air it out.
Getting the worst shift and worst work are two different things...
If you are new, you may not get the best shift, but everyone should share in the difficult work. No one person should be stuck with ESLs because they are new. Maybe the new hires won't get first pick of holidays...things like that, but shouldn't get stuck with all ESLs. Doesn't make sense.
Micromanagement
Do you work for SoftScript by chance?
Micromanagement - SoftScript
If you are looking for EXTREME MICROMANAGEMENT then SoftScript is the place to go!!!
Micromanagement - SoftScript
Constant too
Micromanagement - SoftScript
AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!
You'd enjoy it if u like micromanagement. She wont leave you alone to do your job!
Terrible.
This is true. Shift does matter. I work 2nd shift and really have not had any issues with not havi
x
3rd shift radiology can be like that. Feast or famine. Same with 3rd shift sm
ER work. Sometimes the doctors are too busy to dictate, so they do it at the end. Why don't you talk to them and ask about a different shift?
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.
They pay well 10 cpl days, 11 cpl 2nd shift, 12 for 3rd shift
1300 lines a day required, 65 character line. They have benefits. Don't know much else.
I have worked both 3rd shift and day shift (SM)
including what you call banker's hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). I ran out of work more often on 3rd than I do now on the day shift.
Could I ask when you noticed it, and what you noticed,
you noticed, and how long ago you quit? I'm just trying to figure out what the deal is here. I love MDI and have always felt lucky to work for them. I hope they don't take a good company and ruin it.
I noticed that, as well. (nm)

Has anyone else noticed that
this sudden embracing of offshoring came immediately after it became public that Transcend is now offshoring? First, it seemed that the posters who said this weren't believed and proof was requested. Then came the sudden embrace of offshoring. I've noticed other posts on this board where there seemed to be preference shown to Transcend for some unknown reason.
Maybe, rather than lowering standards and doing all this embracing, -- just MAYBE -- it might be time to come clean and just admit that a company might not be as great as some people think it is and that maybe -- just MAYBE -- unhappy employees of that company who posted here in the past were telling the truth, like myself, only to have my honesty questioned by the administrator, who then went on to track the ISP numbers of the people who also expressed their problems with the company.
Now if I'm banned for noticing and expressing this, then that only proves to speak louder than this post ever could.
you have now only noticed?
i type freely when im not working (this helps me not think about work, but just do what i want).
so no need to make a big thing out of it if that is what you're trying to do. if you really wanna find something to pick on to make yourself feel real, go ahead, knock yourself out lol
I noticed that too. nm

Same old, same old. No changes noticed at all.

So far I have not noticed
I am disappointed in CyMed. They don't pay for spaces and it is very, very hard to get a line count for me.
noticed it too
First thing after reading this posting, I thought how can she/he be saying this with all those errors in the message.
I noticed that the ad said --sm
People Support Rapid Text. I have heard of Rapid Text. Maybe they changed their name??
noticed
I just thought it was ME!!
I noticed that too!
I had applied to it before it went MIA. I noticed it because I had emailed another MT about it who was also looking and she went to the site and could not find it. I looked again too and it was sure enough gone. I thought I was losing my mind for a minute.
Has anyone noticed that sm
Has anyone noticed that lately, once an MT has signed the offer papers for a company to be an employee, (that is formally accepts offer), the wind turns cold? Lack of communication all of a sudden, no updates on training, late training, late equipment and the like? This MT has had this happen on at least 2 occasions of late. The first time, ignored and put up with it. Stayed with company. Okay job but not much work. Now, same thing again, miscommunications re: start date, difficulty getting anything pinned down. The other day this MT was highly regarded, now the papers are signed and seems like all of a sudden this MT is in the way.
Deciding to stay with original company and stick things out. But just got an odd feeling about it all. Don't have any bad references, or bad work history... anybody else getting the cold shoulder? Just wondering if just becuase I'm paranoid does mean they are not interested in me. LOL. Thanks in advance for your comments. :)
I noticed that as well.
It is like it flew over the Bermuda Triangle. It disappeared.
yes I have noticed!
I am only into the transcription field new somewhat I graduated from my program in May 2005 and have not really started looking for at home until recently. As I had in-house jobs from time I graduated three years ago. This year they came to me emailed me I didn't really go on this site much before now so I wasn't aware of it. I did do a BBB search over 3.5 months ago but I swear nothing came up on them. Yes, I have learned but I do somehow plan to get that money back. Ever hear of rip off report.com? If enough people file a complaint for transam might get somewhere. I lost alot of money out of that and I refuse to let it die just like that. I am now with someone new but I wish I would have known more about this site mtstars 3.5 months ago. Thanks for letting me know though much appreciated!
I noticed it too...
no message (nm).
yes, I have noticed
 that too. what an insult!
Just noticed
The mods will move this to the Gab board so I'm sure I'll have to repost later.
Just noticed this
message. I work for Lee Perfect also.
Yep that's what I noticed...
What a misleading heading US-based MT companies Baloney!!
I have noticed too
It kind of bugs me cuz it makes it seem like they don't think we are smart enough to catch on to a new platform. It also makes it harder for us to learn new platforms or get the chance if they won't accept you unless you have that prior platform experience. I personally want to do some VR to learn it so I have that as knowledge but can't because I don't have any experience in it. But, I do have over 17 years transcription experience which should account for something, both for VR and other platforms.
You know what I have noticed, the ones
that are putting God and family first aren't the ones that are so mean and spiteful on here. Thank you for understanding where I come from. For the rest of you, you should give it a try, God and family, you just might be happier! I will pray for you!
This is what I noticed about VR right away
I post here and have said I have worked on VR now for 4-5 years, time is flying by on me so that is about the time. When working at a hospital, was told going on and then trained on VR inhouse and was told that our pay would be cut as soon as VR was in play which took a very short period of time, less than 1-2 months total. Things that were supposed to be done this way before, seems like the rules relaxed a bit. After VR was in we were outsourced to a MTSO. I am thankful, very thankful, that I got to train inhouse and therefore was not as frightened of VR as some are. It was extremely easy and the platform was good. I personally do not think quality has relaxed any at all for this particular hospital as you better believe it, do something wrong such as get a wrong discharge date and you will hear from them, amongst other things. Maybe the place where this particular person is might start off at the same price but might drop after once trained or knows they can go lower. I very much would doubt any place investigating in such a $$$$$ priced machine hearing from the sales people can save them money in the long run only to have the MTs stay on the same cpl they are making straight typing. I know I get more for straight now than VR.
YES! I have noticed it!
I have noticed it in the last few weeks. It has definitely gone backwards. Glad to hear I'm not the only one seeing this.
just noticed their add on careers
I guess they have lowered the pay again. Now they are hiring in at .075 cpl. Gee, that much?
true that was what I noticed
with their IM messages. hmmmmm
Sorry, just noticed nobody answered you yet. sm
The benefits are pretty good regarding PTO and holidays. If you are asking about insurance, the coverage is great with BC/BS, which you can use almost anywhere. All good providers take it. Cost depends on how many you are insuring. If you yourself, it is about $75 per month. Cost grows for spouse, or 1 dependent, then entire family. The cost for that is pretty high, but individual is good.
Me neither. I never noticed a difference...
like the above poster said, it's hard to tell that they are even related to Transcend, unless you are on BeyondTXT and get a lot of their e-mails.
I have noticed that some companies
use different names to run ads, perhaps to prevent potential applicants from searching the archives and finding out negative information. It seems suspicious to me when I discover that someone did not use their real company name in the ad, or use a person's name. I have experienced much bait and switch in looking for just the right place to work.
I noticed the same thing -- the
place was crawling with KS people who were delighted to share their joy with their jobs when they stopped by on their coffee breaks. Now you can hardly raise a response. Guess the advertising campaign was successfu and terminated?
I noticed that, too.....very interesting
Anyone have any theories about why Chris' replies are now gone?
Have you noticed how much MDI-MD is hiring?
Ever wonder why? High turnover.
I haven't noticed that.
Frankly all my accounts have been so low that I haven't worked enough to notice a line count difference. Some of my accounts pay more for headers and footers, some don't pay at all. That sounds pretty shady to have a 27% reduction though.
Have you noticed not one Focus ad
xx
I noticed recent ads for MDI-MD
on MTJobs says full and part-time IC positions are available. Something new they are offering?
Not sure if you noticed, but he's back yet again not once but twice - NM
