I've been with the company almost 10 years. I know the truth. Hawaii was a company-paid vacation.

No more calls, please. We have a winner.

In my opinion, this above one is the winner!
Thank you Lori...
Makes a difference, doesn't it. So, actually the .08 with spaces is better.
Thanks Lori
Yes you are right. Its the office manager only. But she is not ready to talk and come for a meeting. Anyway I will try again... Thanks again for your inputs..
Lori, how did you
verify your line counts? I would like to verify my line counts in Exttext to make sure they are an actual 65 character line which is what I am told it is. You can email or post your answer. Thank you so much.
Did Lori at TRX ever pay you?
I never got my pay but was hoping maybe you did.
oh man, she sounds like a reallll winner

Outsourcing Scandals Inc ** that's a winner LOL

I mean the owner on the sale. The only winner here. nm

Lori Boone...avoid...
TRX/Lori Boone infamous for not paying. She was a Transcriptionist in the department at OHSU and started a service TRAINING PEOPLE ON THE JOB (i.e. hiring inexperienced people and paying nothing/ endangering client product) and she shorted a lot of people, including the well-seasoned MTs, on pay. Some are still waiting to get paid. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
ADVANCED Transcription in Portland are awful too/do the same.
There are several good companies in Portland though, any of those not mentioned. =)
can't live on 35k in Hawaii

AAMT Convention in Hawaii
Did anyone at the convention go by the OSi booth that was staffed by the 2 older ladies and an older guy? Were they the owners? They didn't seem too excited about their company or have much information to offer. Is this the reason the company is in trouble, the owners are clueless??? 
I'm moving to Hawaii!!! Here in PA our hospital sent the MTs home but
they must do 100 minutes a shift. They also have to go to meetings once a month at the hospital which they do not get paid for, then have to go home and make up that time. Pay isn't that great either.
I was replying to packrat. I am not sure why it posted under yours. I did not say Hawaii because
who would ever leave Hawaii??? You have a beautiful place to live, and from what I have read, a healthier place to live.
Where would I be without my husband's income? Living in a smaller house, just fine. I married for love and we worked together to get to the point we are now without help from anyone.
I would never, ever criticize you or lecture you and am not talking down to anyone. Packrat just struck me wrong. So many MT's complain that they cannot make money because of a, b or c but never do anything about it. That's all. I did not mean to insult you in any way.
My ending is plenty happy, but it is hopefully 50 years away. I have a great husband, a warm roof over our head and enough food to feed my family and keep us in clothes with a little extra to vacation each year to that place you are lucky enough to call home!
I agree about wishing I had found transcription when my children were younger. I love what I do and am fortunate enough to be good at it and work for someone that has enough work to keep me busy.
If someone is struggling, I will be the first to lend a hand, but to rant and rave about how MOST women don't need to work is just plain BS.
The recruiter has to recover from the Hawaii trip. So exhausting! nm

good people who all go to Hawaii while making you work every weekend. nm
....
Wow, they have a town named after me! LOL. nm

I think there are more than one company named that. nm
nm
company named IDS...
Anyone ever hear of or work for this company, IDS? Just curious as to what they are like, do they pay on time, are they good to work for, etc. Thanks very much for any info.
There is a poster named Jai
that works for them, and she posted something not too long ago about them that she likes it. I think she is the one though that has a lot of questions on the word board, so if she is doing word for word, they must have a lot of ESLs or something.
company named LTS
Can anyone tell me anything about a company named LTS? Thanks
Aptly named.
Wrong! Minimizing, mind reading, name calling. Assuming.
Anyone know of a company named
Any information, good or bad? Thanks very much.
You mean the lady named Pepper at OSI?
who knew!
bet if she named the co she would no longer be a recruiter for them.
Some things you have to look at twice because you really don't believe what you read
Any body know anything about a company named PTS,
curious. I tried Archives but could not come up with anything. TIA.
I'm looking for information about the company named DSG. nm
nm
I do not believe any names were named or any co was mentioned. I only know what I was thinking and
only the incident. I would not name a co. That's not me.
Wrong about making assumptions though. We all do it. There is a big difference in making an assumption and actually naming a co which I did not do.
What did you want to know? Just named AAMT employer of year! sm
With the caveat that no company can be everything to all MTs, I personally have been with Webmedx (and Rodeer, who was bought by Wbx a few years ago) since 1998 and have been pleased. Good platform, decent accounts, average pay with chance of making bonuses, room for advancement (I know of MTs who have moved into QA), decent QA feedback, and I love my manager.
Benefits are good in my opinion. Pay is on time (all direct deposit), workflow decently steady. Your mileage may vary, of course. :)
Saw ad for Transcend and they actually named the new account they were hiring for (sm)
Isn't that a little strange? I know we don't post account specifics and I have never seen a company do so before. They mentioned the hospital name, town and state.
company named Voice Systems
What does anyone know about a company in Georgia named Voice Systems? Are they a good company to work for? Do they pay well? Thanks very much.
About as funny as a Clinic in California named Ole'
Didn't they get wiped out by the Mexicans?
*good morning* !! Accts are not named here! NM

Is there actually a company named Rural Transcription?
I thought she was trying to say that she lives in a rural area and has to do transcription at home because there are no local in-house jobs. I didn't think she was badmouthing a particular company by name...
Am I missing something?
My sister's cat is named Pubert - or Pube for short...
I really DO have odd sisters, don't I? BTW - my really cheap Big Sister did manage to buy me a decent gift - the Beatles 1 CD. Unfortunately, she got me the same thing last year...ARGH
I don't see anywhere where she named the person, or company, or location. NOT a big deal. nm

I have no info, but the energy center is named after my grandfather nm
Frank R. Applegate Energy Center
see inside - it's just a start, but stay away from the Indian named owner - I think we know
where that work is going!!!

In retrospect, I shouldn't have named my company because truly I do love working for them and sho
assume this was just a payroll error. So, that's what I'm thinking until I know better. If I did lose my insurance without any notice, then I would not be a very happy camper and would do what I needed to do. But, in the meantime, they have been great to work for...
We also say 'Ford trucks' named after Henry Ford. Makes sense to me.

Vacation for SEs
Anyone know what is the procedure for taking vacation(s) as a MQ SE? How far in advance do you let them know, do they have a problem with it, etc.? Is there a limited amount of days you are allowed per year?
Vacation
All MQ offices seem to operate differently, but in mine I have had no problems. I usually give several weeks to a month's notice, then I also remind them a week or so before I'm off. I have never had any problems whatsoever. I took off about three different weeks last summer over a 6 month period. Plus, right after I was hired I had to take off for an already planned vacation and they didn't say a word.
I don't know the answer as to how much time you are allowed to take off. It would seem to me being an SE (basically an IC) that legally they could not limit your time off. Of course, that doesn't mean they won't complain about it. I think if you give a few weeks notice there shouldn't be a problem.
I have vacation and PTO. I take off when I need to. I
usually take 10 days off in a row and then long weekends various times throughout the year. I have even taken a day off with just 1 day notice when I was just needing a break. I don't take advantage and I have about a month of accrued time now. Sometimes if I'm taking off on a Friday for a long weekend I'll work extra during the week, or get up very early Friday and work, so I get my lines in, though I'm not asked to. I think my company sees that so they don't hassle me when I take off.
Someone needs a vacation and bad!
Vacation? What is that?
:-)
Thanks! Im on vacation
until mid next week. More later!
Some MT's on vacation right now, but
But sometimes there is not even work on weekends. Yuk! Going to get worse before it gets better at Transtech -- too many MT's hired now and slow holiday period coming up. Some of the accounts are only overflow accounts and temporary accounts that TT picked up recently, so look out for the bill collectors at the our doors around the first of 2008.
No, she is still there but has been on vacation. sm
If this is the right account. Actually, I think all the leads are there still and a few have been added. ***Edited by Moderator***
Please do not post initials and/or names here.
Regarding vacation and PTO,
do you mean they are separate, 6 vacation days and then 1 week PTO, meaning 13 days total? and how do they differ between the 2? Thanks for your help.
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies?
