I do believe they are worried about the line counting method and "conversion methods" they use to calculate your line count. For now, it is "hearsay", (don't know if I spelled that right), but may come to fruition in the future with proof and hard evidence.
That is all I know right now!

Not to mention managers playing on the darn thing

And the ability to hold mandatory meetings and not say a darn thing! nm

i wouldn't sign it, but cross that out and sign
the rest
I know who it is!!! And I can't say it, darn it!!!!
Thanks!!...Darn.. nm
Darn! I'm sorry.
Hopefully they get it fixed soon so all of us can work. I actually got the audio, didn't do the DNS changes, though so maybe that's why. I have no idea. I so hate computers. LOL
Darn, that would be perfect for me but sm
I can't do the move to Wisconsin thing with a husband, home, etc. I really could train at home strictly for the 3-6 months. And living west of Chicago, the daily drive would kill me.
Darn, that is disappointing.
I was truly considering this company after my line count with Spheris has dropped steadily over the last year and this sounded like a great place to go. Is there anywhere anymore that treats MTs fairly?
I know, you're right darn it. Ugh. nm
n
And what a darn shame too, because if there
wasn't the MT no one else would have a job.
It is a darn SHAME
WEBMEDX is a click. If you don't know someone personally and are not someone's friend personally, FORGET IT, they will trash you and think nothing of it...Great Job Today, On the streets tomorrow. They don't care who they hurt or who they Belittle. The QA mentoring is LAZY also.
sorry. Should be TRS's 'ad' - darn expander!

Hot darn it is in the Ahdi book.
The only time QA makes me pound my head is when they are correct and it can be seen in print.
Also, the new Nuance 7.5 VR is so smart. . .it remembers corrections you make. The whole page(s). Start planning. . .this one is top notch. . .better than the first. No more overtime. No more parttimers.
I meant voted (darn expander)
Darn, wish mine would have shown up DD today. nm

The lying is unbelievable. If you work there, you darn well

better than Lanier - darn short-cuts! NM

Darn my shortcut program. That is supposed to be "I" not HPI. nm

"Just get to your darn keyboards and work!!!!"
Oh my gosh, who are YOU to tell people to get back to their keyboards?!
::crackface::
Unbelievable!
I still cannot get over the fact that you said that. You may say that to your own children but you don't say something like that to an adult/s.
Where did you grow up? Heaven help us.
$7/hour is pretty darn good, I was making
the MT inexperience, as the inexperienced is all they are able to hire. Seasoned MT's know better than to go there.
WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone

DARN STRAIGHT... and as soon as the Indians are forced to work weekends,
then I will. I used to have plenty of work for my early morning shift and now none. Why? NOT BECAUSE THE CLIENT DOES NOT HAVE WORK AT THAT TIME......
BECAUSE THE INDIANS TOOK MY WORK. They get to work days and have off nights and weekends becuase us PRIMMA DONNAS are here to suck hiney and say *I will do it cause the client needs it*
WAKE UP!!!!!!! The world is laughing at you. 
It's a sign
hmmm, the woman at this company was so nasty, I told her, Why don't you hop on your broom and fly off into the sunset before someone drops a house on you.
Would seem she either flew or was flattened doesn't it?
They are poison. Run while you can.
How do I sign on?!!
How do I find this fantastic Deb?! I went to school for MT, found work which only lasted one year and then the company folded. I am having no luck finding anyone who'll take me on with just one year's experience. Deb sounds like just the perfect kind of person to work for. Is she hiring? Thanks for all the help, everyone!
sign
exactly what I thought - the person cannot be a MT. Management must not have enough work to keep them busy.
Is this a BAD sign?
For the past couple weeks we haven't been able to use our health insurance and my company says they will reimburse. And then got email we had coverage until May 26 and then will get reviewed and be put back in the Blue Shield pool...this makes no sense. Does this happen very often? Should I be looking?
most def a BAD sign
Gurl, that is the sound of one duck quacking. Vamamos, now. Do not pass gonad. Proceed directly to the lighted exit sign over the door. Insurance first, payroll next. Unhuh. Go.
Is this a bad sign?
Now I am getting nervous...maybe I should just stick with my current company? I really couldn't seem to find much info on them, and what I did find was over a year old. I just want to know if they are good to work for!
DO NOT SIGN
They have no right to ask you to give up your livelihood unless they are offering a severance to cover that time. My BF was offered a package from ATT and had him sign but gave him payroll for that time in one lump sum. Consult more attorneys. This is your livelihood - how are you to survive.
You think that is bad, I tried to sign on to my
account this morning and got invalid #. I tried again and got invalid # again. At this point I'm starting to freak, thinking they locked me out of the system. I tried one more time and entered my number more slowly and got in. I guess I'm as fast on the number pad as I am on the keyboard and it wasn't recognizing each number - LOL.
I would say don't sign with them
I am waiting for work right now.
So, do you think this is a sign
that JLG is going out of business or just getting rid of the SR side of it? Hopefully for the MTs there, it just means more straight transcription for them. If that is the case, I don't understand why some SR editors wouldn't be offered an MT position.
Any other JLG SR editors out there get the axe or an offer to switch to MT?
Even if you sign up for M-F 8am-4am
...shift or something like that, you will always get suckered in to working extra hours. just the life of an MT. however from experience, being helpful and wanting to please everyone by volunteering to work extra in the beginning often leads to them EXPECTING you to work extra and taking advantage of you. Stand your ground from the start if you don't want to work 24/7. I did at first and before you know it I'm expected to bend to a cardiologists' whim 24/7. Only after I threatened to quit did they take me seriously.
ME too! But sign us up where?nm

sign
Has your worked picked up any? Has anyone else's?
If you worked there a while, you'd know that a certain PM used to sign
If y'all don't know that, then y'all haven't been here that long
I loved #4 and #8. Where do I sign up?
I think that's because you don't have to pay the Indians to sign on - sm
and yes, I am being sarcastic!! :)
Was going to sign with them, but am leery
That makes me nervous, having to wait for a paper check. Don't like that scenario. Other than that, contract didn't look too bad. Low pay for IC, but not intolerable.
SIGN-ON BONUSES
Not all companies that offer a sign-on bonus are bad news. Typically a company will offer a sign-on bonus if they are looking to fill positions quickly. A lot of times, this is interlinked with a new client/account go-live. The company wants to make sure they have enough MTs for the go-live. A sign-on bonus also draws more MTs to apply.
there are too many who don't make you sign.
I have 3 jobs and need them to feed my family. That's life. Don't do it.
sign-on bonus
I received my sign-on bonus for Precyse and also for Diskriter. No problemo. BTW, Diskriter seems to get a lot of flack around here, but I really love it. Very nice people, good platform, fair line counting, QA helpful and not stifling. OT frequently if you want it, but not all the time. I'm made to feel like a valued team member. :)
No employment unless you sign
The agreement states that the employee understands that he/she will no longer be employed unless he/she signs. (I found out that such coercion in order to save your job can be illegal.)
Sign it, take the money and get a new
They are putting you out of a job. It's not like you quit, so they have no right to request you to not get another MT job for 12 months. That is totally ridiculous! And really, are they going to follow you around and see what you do for the next 12 months? It's none of their business. I would just sign it, take the money and go about your business.
This is just incentive to get you to sign with this co.
x
Be that as it may, it IS incentive to sign on.

I would take it as a sign and move on. NM

You don't need to a sign a release for them
Just because you sign a contract
doesn't mean you have no recourse. I worked for a company as an IC and my contract said that I had 24 TAT, was responsible for my own equipment and taxes taxes, had to abide by HIPAA regulations or get terminated, etc. The company I worked for (very small less than 80 employees) DID NOT comply with HIPAA regulations and I have plenty of proof. I'm gathering all the information I can before I see an attorney and possibly the IRS. One gets tired of hearing look at your contract. What makes them think THEY can break rules outlined in a contract and get away with it?
I've also been looking into IC versus employee status (on the IRS website) and it is interesting reading. Makes me wonder if this contract was ever legal by IRS standards (something else I will be looking into). It's time the tables turned on these bullies. They need to realize that WE are the ones that make them money not the other way around!
Do not sign contract
Having experienced this personally, it can be anything from an inconvenience to a devastating financial blow and, by signing the contract, no leg to stand on when it comes to getting your money.
No, do not sign the contract.
Find another company. There plenty out there that require set lines, but as an IC you shouldn't even have to commit to that. The true IC positions are hard to come by as this field is abused as an IC. JMO.
