Plus my company is out work and I haven't made my rent yet, so am grouchy!

I haven't asked about any other companies
I am quite happy where I am at. I don't know where you get that as we don't even have screen names to go by
I don't know that it is true, I haven't asked, don't feel
like they would tell me if true. I haven't figured out the company name yet, still trying and I doubt seriously the offshoring company would tell us who their clients are. There is a ton of work, so I don't see offshoring (if it is happening) is affecting me. They have one account that is very difficult and they are unable to keep MTs on that account and maybe that account is being offshored, as it is mostly ME dictators anyway.
I know for a fact that QT management does monitor the boards and I feel like they need to address the concerns or they are going to find themselves in a bad situation.
Quit yelling. Don't assume they haven't asked. nm

I haven't gotten a response to the ONE should-be simple question I emailed and asked. (m)
I also wondered if anyone thought about the contracts we signed last year and if you felt that was related to this. I personally feel it did, felt like it was preparing them for something, to be protected. It says they can change our pay at-will pretty much though.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
I'm curious about this company as well? I haven't really heard much about it.
She also asked for name of company
i did not give
I haven't noticed any positive comments about any company
I did search the archives for OSi but didn't see anything recent.
No, I haven't been. I told my true experience of working for that company.
I don't have a negative attitude. You're the one who can't handle it when someone disagrees with you.
Haven't found a great place yet . . ., was with last company three years.
Just new this internet thing.
I'm sure it has been asked 100 times but any company have pathology?
Scroll down the board. This company has been asked about
several times this week, if not every day this week. Not much info other than they don't pay very well.
I haven't had enough work at MDI-MD lately.
I get up just to find there's no work. Then it will start coming in and I start working, only to run out. Hard to keep a rhythm going when you keep running out of work.
I don't think so. If you were, you would be willing to post where you work. Still haven't se

What lull? Haven't been out of work yet nm

IT will work, though I haven't used it. I HATE
SH with a passion. I used PRD previously and it was so much better. Enterprise needs work. They are frequently updating it so it is getting better, though still have miles to go.
There was a lag in work about a month ago, but now it seems that half the accounts are on OT on a regular basis.
You got your W2 already? I work there but haven't received (sm)
mine yet. I was hoping to get it as an attachment to print out also and not have to wait for it to come in the mail.
I haven't even started work yet, but I have
to say I am SO impressed with this company. Pay is better than average, pay for OT (the last 2 companies I have only been paid normal line rate for extra lines), shift differential. Insurance starts the first day of the month after being hired, so no 90 day waiting period. They may 50% of 401K up to 6%. There is a 90-day waiting period for the 401K and some of the benefits. Free vision insurance. The medical/dental insurance is better than any I have seen and it is very reasonable. I currently have insurance through my husband's company and while the premium is reasonable the insurance isn't very good, high deductible, high co-pay. Their insurance is much better and I think premium is only $10/more than what we are currently paying.
Direct deposit. They supply computer/equipment. I don't have personal experience with the platform yet, but it sounds user friendly. They do expect you to work your schedule.
They train you on your shift, so that if you work third shift you don't have to train 1st shift, they will train you on third shift. Paid for 4 hours of training at 13.50.
I am so excited about starting with them. They did not have an ad running when I applied, but according to their website they were hiring and I submitted my resume. They have testing through a third-party company. Testing is timed and one section gave me a little bit of trouble, but the transcription part was easy and not the horrible dictation that you often get. I don't know if it actually represents their dictation since it is done through a third party and the dictation files I'm sure are subject to change.
I haven't needed more work - there is plenty on my acct

i don't find that to be true, i work there & haven't had problems with pay. sm
never have i encountered disorganization or rude people so far. maybe things have changed or wrong company?
no one asked you to work for them, did they? lol
some companies offer ZILCH
go point your shame somewhere else
at least they are offering what they can and are open about it
I was asked to work ...sm
Tu-Sat with the 24-h window for the account I will be on. Other than that, I believe it is Tu-Sat or Sun-Thurs
I asked for more work...
and will be starting a new primary shortly.
I find they are extremely cooperative in helping their MTs meet their needs.
I don't work for Transtech but applied w/them, haven't heard back

Huh? I work M-F. Asked for it when I hired in 1 yr ago. nm

Being asked to work all your days off?
First let me state for those who will say get out of the business if you don't like it, I am NOT complaining. I am posing a question to my fellow MTs to see if they are asked the same thing, and how they react. Here's the scenario, no to very little work during the week and then you are asked to work the weekend. This is not your only account and you already work 6 days a week as it is. Do you work your only day off? Of course there are no incentives or OT offered. I don't want to seem like an uncooperative employee but dang, I need at least ONE day off!!
When I asked about less and less work, I was told
that no MDI work is being done by Transcend because they have no access to the MDI platforms / clients. It was suggested that the economy may be taking its toll.
yeah - they haven't told a couple of hospitals that they are offshoring their work - but I think

s
I didn't ask for your wages. I asked for help and if I'd have to work
and I didn't really think it would be like pulling teeth because MOST people at Transcend are willing to help when you ask WITHOUT the attitude. But if you post on the forum like you do here, it's obvious who you are.
No way. I work there and have asked a very reliable source who would know. nm

What?? they have asked you to work the account but never told you how much your pay is??
Sounds strange to me.. They would make me nervous as that should be the first thing they discuss.. or at least that is what I would want to know right off before I wasted my time with them.
When I was hired, they asked me what work types I liked from sm
best to worst. I have progress notes last. I hate them but get a few every day-type them anyway. Wish I got more op notes but H&Ps and consults keep me real busy.
They asked me to work OT every week, NEVER paid
any OT, did not get raise after 90 days. They said I would but it never happened.
If it is any consolation, I work at CS too, and I asked Rahul if we would sm
paid on Friday, and he said something like we'll try, so there is still hope.  I hope it is Friday, too, as the coffers are a bit low at my place, but I will be happy to see it on Monday, if that is what it takes.
Hang in there. 
There's lots of work and we're asked to help out. No big whoop. nm

Have you asked your supervisors why no work? Which account are you on? You can email me privately if
you want..
Thank you. The recruiter was very informative. I specifically asked about work flow
as the company I am at now runs out almost daily, in part, I believe, as a result of being a mix of straight typing and VRE. I prefer straight typing over VRE anyway. TT is offering more per line and offers incentive and shift differential, which is something I don't get currently. Im excited to start working with them.
I know this question is asked a million times but who is good to work for
anymore? I have 13 years experience and I work at a hospital part time but I know I can make more on production plus I need the flexibility because I have osteo in my back and other health problems that require me to kind of break it up if you know what I mean. I'd only like to work 4 to 6 hours a day, make a decent line rate, and have flexibility of having a span of time within which to get my lines done. I don't need benefits but do not like IC status; I prefer statutory. Any ideas?
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Such a lame excuse too - I'm so sure the CLIENT ASKED to have their work outsourced overseas!
They do think we're idiots, don't they?
Recall WalMart asked staff to work off clock for overtime, remember? sm
It was on TV, newspapers, it took a court thing to resolve. Guess people will try most anything (for the moment) and just pay a fine, i.e. the cost of doing business.
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
Let me know if you pursue this company. I would like to work for a MN company as an employee?
Let me know! Thanks!
Chasing work from company to company - Have any of you ever watched (sm)
5 year olds learning to play soccer? The ball is in play and no matter what the coahes say ALL the kids go running for the ball. Maybe we are like that, masses of us going from company to company in search of work. This company has a new account BOOM here we go. Now it is out. Let's go here.
Yep, I think it is a big game someone is playing with us. Not a particularly funny one either.
What is the best company to go to for IC that is a nice company to work for that has work for you
and also is interested if you want to work part time at some point.
Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I
I will share this about the MTSO I work for. I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week. Would she be able to cover my work. She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip.
And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for. To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.
