experience in acute care. When they offered me a position they sent a letter stating 8 cpl regardless of experience. After they saw the quality/quantity of my work they said I would get a raise, but never did. Almost 2 years ago I was offered a position with KS (though declined) and they offered me 9.5 cpl.
I didn't not try to negotiate on the 8 cpl, though others have posted they did and were able to get more $$. I don't know of anyone personally so can't say how valid the info is.

Just don't quit in 3 months or.....
you will have to pay $125 to return their computer, according to their contract. OUCH!
I saw this coming 2 months ago and Quit!
Where are all the cheerleaders now who bashed every nay sayer on this board.
Transcend does suck big time!! There are other companies out there, you just need to find them.
I quit there 10 months ago and got the letter.
After 10 months, they should have NO record of me on a computer.
Why is Medware hiring? I just quit after 2 months because
.
they called me one time 9 months after I had quit
still just as disorganized as ever
Quit them after more than 3 years - sm
When I finally got tired of them hiring 10 people to replace 2 who quit and then all 10 of those people showing up to work and having to wait 12 hours a day to even maybe meet my line requirements. Every time there is a QA assessment and they cull the work pool you will have work for a short time. Then as soon as they replace all the warm bodies they let go there will be no work again. ALL they care about is TAT. You can *keep checking back for work* as they like to say. Good riddance!
Was there for 5 years -- quit 3 weeks ago. NM

I worked for SS several years ago but quit cause of
meched. Imagine my surprise when couple years after that I got a check in the mail from SS for $300+ dollars. It came with a form from the labor board saying money was for the money SS gyped me out of by dinking with line counts. Can you say, KARMA, boys and girls?
Been with them 3 years, not 3 months. sm
I have had a very good experience as an employee. QA people are great, always willing to help. Been there 3 years, and I haven't a clue whether accounts are overflow or not, so wondering how someone who has been there a few months is privy to this information??? I have enough work to keep me busy and meet requirements, occasional overtime, consistent bonuses. I really get sick of seeing all these negative comments from short timers, so had to speak up, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
7 years, 10 months and counting at -
:)
I have 8 years, was hired 6 months ago and it was the best sm
move I ever made. I am happy with lots of work, a good paycheck that is time and a great manager.
Maybe they did not have an opening or maybe your references did not check out. I know they checked because my old boss told me they did.
No raises in 2 Years 10 Months
Anyone want to guess which company? Or are they all not doing reviews and/or giving raises? Sure does detract from any motivation!
I worked for them two years ago for about 4 months
and they were always running out of work on the two accounts I had. Obviously, nothing has changed since. I had to pretty much sit at my computer 24/7 to get my lines and much of that was waiting for it.
The people were nice, which was truly a blessing. But, I could not make any money if the work just was not there. So, I had to move on.
EMR has been around for years, Obama only a few months.
There's a Politics Board for drivel like this.
Doesn't sound too bad to me with 7 months experience. I have 26 years' exp and get 11.5. nm

I just quit Medquist, hired by Etrans and quit them after one afternoon during the last two weeks!sm
Medquist made me buy a new computer to go to the "Docuscribe" system that was so much better than cottage. When I got there I took a real big pay cut to the tune of probably 30 to 40%. I was getting paid gross lines doing Cedars-Sinai operative reports. I asked for more per line and my supervisor just laughed and said you think were going to pay you $0.12 a line to just do operative reports! I said I quit. I should have said F you and your mamma too:( I had been there all together 7 years through buyouts. I am just sick of it all. I'm going to go sew my daughter a cute little Halloween outfit right now.
TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.
Honda is 11 years old, 190,000 miles . Toyota was 15 years old and 279,000 superb

I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
30 years - this WAS my career. The last few years you guys have ruined it.
You work 9-5? Big deal. I work more than you do. I bet I work harder too. Treat US with respect, lady!
Don't talk to us like that and don't expect us to kiss your feet. Kiss ours for a change!
See if you'll be producing more after 30 years of MT'ing and at 50+ years old.
I don't think so. My income increased every year also, until I reached age 50 and 30 years of MT'g, been downhill ever since.
It wasn't tough 5 years ago. Or 10 years ago, yet
How to you spell
G-R-E-E-D ???
All the shifty, dishonest, greedy pigs in this country belong in JAIL.
Perhaps you all should quit (sm)
talking to "Sandy" since she can't spell the name of her own city, she probably isn't "Sandy" after all!
Just quit
I originally told them I wanted to try them out part time for 2 weeks and they agreed but weren't happy about it. I decided what the heck, I'd try FT. For the first FIVE days I had ONE report per day. They kept telling me they couldn't give me a backup until I was off QA, and couldn't get off QA until I had done enough reports!! Lose-lose situation there.
The QA was ridiculous, should have known since the head QA person was from Edix. I had a report that had many many physician errors, illness denied in one spot, added in others. I marked them all for QA and when I got it back, they said they have no way of knowing what's correct so they just put them on through!!! They did find the time however to mark the word "an" that I had put to make the sentence correct as being WRONG, even though the account was not verbatim. I had 2 other QAs come back with errors that I documented to the super that I was right about and they were changed, but all this trouble and I only did 6 reports? I shudder to think what it would be like IF they had any work!!
Quit
Sorry, but there's no other way. Been there, done that. Unfortunately, some QA people get their jollies by terrorizing other people just because they can.
I quit!
Etransplus is all about the numbers, not keeping their MTs in work. If you continue to work for them, you must have a secondary job.
Did you quit yet?
There are companies out there hiring right now even though it's right before Christmas. I had three job offers in one day after leaving. Life's too short to be frustrated.
Believe me, do not quit your other job.
A is the worst place to work
Here is what I would do. I would quit. If you know sm
anyone at Spheris who you have worked with or under that would give you a reference, just use that person as a reference. It is common knowledge that these huge companies could not tell anyone anything about a person who has worked for them. I know one girl who worked for MQ and had been working there for years and applied for a home loan and they told the mortgage company she did not work there!
Point is--figure out who from the company you can use as a reference and use it IF you want to mention you worked for them at all.
Second, unemployment benefits usually have some sort of waiting period and usually you have to be constantly seeking a job during the time you are not employed. It is not worth the hassle. In this business of MT, you can certainly find another job right away or within a week or two. It might not be the amount of money--heck, it could be better! Bottom line is, quit, tell them bye, and move on. Forget about the unemployment and get back to work as soon as possible. These states want you to jump through hoops for that little bit you would most likely collect in unemployment. I know my state has it that you can apply online now and do not have to go into the unemployment office, but many of the unemployment offices are so degrading that you don't want to go there at all.
With all the MT companies out there, you WILL find another job. Go the easy route for yourself and don't put yourself through this degrading process. Get yourself back to work and earning your money and forget about Spheris.
DON'T Quit!!!!
If your could not make line count because you were not qualified, that is their human relations department screw up, they should have verified that you were qualified. If they did, and you were, which I would assume is true because they hired you, I would let them fire me because if they do contest you application for unemployment insurance, they may be made to prove that you are in fact in the minority of their employess who do not make line count, and I think it can be proven that most of the MTs hired do not make line count at these coumpanies for a variety of reasons, many of which have nothing to do with the MT. For instance, SOUND QUALITY OF WORK YOU RECEIVE, TECH SUPPORT IN A TIMELY FASHION, MORE THAN THE USUAL NUMBER OF ESLs, NOT USER-FRIENDLY WORK PLATFORM, POOR TRAINING ON THEIR PART. Unemployment is usually only refused for people who Willfully cause themselves to be fired, not for those who actually tried. Remember, it was their job to determine if you were qualified, unless you lied to them, which is a whole new ball game. In any case, a reference from a company you worked at for four months is worthless, so let them fire you and take your chances. But do offer to try harder and ask for their help in making a go of it, it will look good if they fire you anyway, and document and print emails that are pertinent to your case. Connect a printer to your PC if you do not already have one and print all their emails. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Does anybody know who was let go or quit?
x
One day for me too. I also quit....
because of poor communication. Never answered my QA questions or sent any feedback to me. I realize no news is good news but good grief, at least answer my questions.
no one said they were going to quit
yet either. You actually do not seem either intelligent or rational as you obviously refuse to see that there are issues and believe that if you just pump out the work that you will be okay, which is very naive as someone else had posted. You also need to remember that I am sure that a lot of other MTs have heard somewhat of the same song and dance at other companies and have seen what happened. There comes a point sometimes when things walk like a duck, if you will, that you do question seriously whether it is going to be duck.
Anyone who quit, where did you go?
If you found a good company, can you please let me know where you went! I need to get out of here! Thanks a lot!
Never quit one job until you are sure of the second job. Do them
p
Then don’t quit your day job, I get
4 cents per line for VR.
Just quit there sm
Management is severely lacking.
Trainer was an idiot (but at least she didnt cuss all the way thru the exam like Cbay's trainer did)
They lost the account I was on.
EXACTLY WHY I QUIT OSI!!
I worked third shift and got nothing but very old crap because of cherrypicking by team lead to her favorites. Not only were the age of the jobs obvious but another MT who quit for personal reasons told me that she used to get the best jobs from the team lead. Team leads on OSi are completely worthless for the most part. They get a salary for doing nothing except doling out gravy jobs.
So you quit without having another job?
There are always possibilities but I for one could not afford to just quit without having another job. I don't know your situation though but am happy for you to be relieved. Some of the working conditions make me crazy sometimes but I am overall happy where I am though it is not perfect by any means.
I'd try them out before I quit my other job.
nuff said
If you already have another job just quit OSI
/
Quit the job you have now
BTW: When I said let us know when you quit this one, I meant the one you hate right now... not Transcend.
also PS: I reread my post, I used the word then too much! I am really a transcriptonist, I want to go back and edit my posts to make it BOS compliant! LOL. Have a great day.
IME & IMO - don't quit your other job until you (sm)
get up and running with Keystrokes, or any MTSO, especially this time of year, when it tends to be slow. It may take you a week or so to get work, and remember there is a two-week delay in getting your check; for example, for the PP ending 12/15, we don't get paid until 1/1.
Hope this helps!
Quit OSI, still no W2
This doesn't answer your question. Sorry.
Try it while still with job#1. Never quit one job until
x
Are you going to quit?
I was just wonder if you are going to quit since VR is not your thing? I wouldn't work for pennies either.
She quit
She said that she started running out of work and had to work too many extra hours in order to get her line count.
You SHOULD quit - - - $18/hr. is too low for
(Should be closer to $24-25.)
