Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
I'll definitely check them out!
you still aren't making any sense, sm
just stop trying! Okay? 
Be glad you aren't in construction, where
weather delays and permit delays and error delays can shut things down for weeks! If you can't cope with 1/2 a slow day, you need a job that pays hourly.
aren't you glad you didn't quit? NM

Then YAY you! This conversation does NOT pertain to you, aren't you glad!

If you aren't management & you're making good
money on VR, then why are you so desperate to attack those who don't want to do VR & try to shove it down their throats? A fellow MT wouldn't do that. They'd simply say they like it & how much they make rather than having a meltdown over other MTs not being thrilled about the switch....
That person sounds like a whacko. Aren't you glad -
you WERE offered 1 cpl? That way there was no chance you or anyone else would ever accept a job working for her. Even if she paid 12+ cpl, I think it's pretty much a given that the aggravation of dealing with someone that rude and hostile every day would be no where NEAR what you were getting paid. I also have to wonder what she has to stoop to charging her client (would rather doubt there's more than one!) in order for them to put up with her as well.
Glad you are happy. You making good money there? sm
as well?
Glad to hear
you have another job already. Flossie is definitely a backstabber who will pretend to be your friend and then stab you when you least expect it.
Glad to hear it.
Wasn't sure from the way you worded your post.
I am glad to hear you say that...(sm)
It is nice to see someone with a professional attitude such as yours. I have just seen so much trashing of employers around here that it is no wonder that many times MTs are not taken seriously.
Glad to hear you are not looking any further at them...sm
FutureNet Technologies is a great place you may want to consider. Their pay is always on time and always correct. No benefits but the staff is great, pay is great and pay is on time and correct - that is benefit enough for me.
Glad to hear you are not looking further into Superior Global. It will save you a lot of headaches.
Hope you find a great place to call home!
Sorry to hear about the job, but glad
I am glad to hear about MDI-MD
Just starting there! I hope everything works out with this company.
Glad to hear that!
I know some people LOVE it. Not me. Maybe if they'd keep the bad dictators off of it, but they're now putting everyone on it. You might be flying through 1 or 2 reports, and then all of a sudden get someone who definitely does not belong on VR. That messes up your line count for the whole day. Plus getting 30% less in pay. Like I said, I've only been doing this for 1 month, but my line count for VR has only gone up on average 30 lines daily. My straight-typing line count has gone down 40 lines daily. How could that be? These companies are messing with the statistics to make VR look better than it actually is, all the while paying less to the Transcriptionist for both VR and straight typing. I'm making now with VR(cpl)what I made in 1997 when I first was hired to work at home via internet. At least I have a job. Still, I feel defeated.
I'm glad to hear that
I just accepted a job with them. I sent them a resume about 1-1/2 weeks ago, did not do the testing on that day because I didn't have time. Did testing last Saturday, called them on Monday and talked to the receptionist. Was thinking of giving them another call very soon but today they called me. Good luck!
Glad to hear this.
Happy to hear that KS will not be giving in to Transcend. I don't care what kind of ranking they have, offshoring is bad news for us.
Between VR and offshoring, we will all end up at flea markets hocking our wares...but then again...you have to pay rent to get a table at the flea market. No money for that. Oh well.
I have too many fat rolls to work a corner. The gobs and gobs of folks in other industries who have lost jobs have already taken the fast food jobs. Guess I really need to come up with a plan.
Regarding the companies losing millions each year...I don't get it either.
Glad to hear that!
LOL, I keep wondering when the 'honeymoon' will end because it's just so astonishingly fantastic working there. I keep thinking it's too good to be true, but posts like yours help convince me that it is like being in MT heaven working for TT!!!
I'm rather glad to hear that, thanks!
I was suspicious because normally HR/recruitment personnel use their real name and their posts are MUCH more professional, such as thanking everyone for their interest, etc.
Glad to hear this may not be legitimate, because if it was, it would have been, IMO, a negative reflection on the company.
You hear that huh? Well I was making nearer
the upper end of that when my company said they were lowering QA rates and asked if I was willing to take $2/hr less money. More are paying less unless you are an account manager, of which i now am, but for QA, most are going lower thanks to this profession and what has happened to it.
As far as feedback to MTs, you just have to have enough experience with people to know how to handle the MTs. I have never had anyone jump down my throat and the majority I have QA'd, thank me for my kind consideration of their feelings.
I think it is all in how much you have dealt with people that makes QA better, but I will admit there are those MTs who would bite any hand that tried to assist them just because they think they know it all...but I will say the MTs I have QA'd have all been great.
I was so glad to hear this!! They are a decent
a decent company despite the posts here.
Good for you! I am glad to hear that you
are a good recruiter, having no idea who you are, was only relaying MY experiences. Sorry for those, such as you, who do your job well. I have lost thousands of dollars depending on what was told to me by recruiters, and that is a fact. If I would not have listened to the out and out lies, simple questions like, Will such and such an abbreviation Expander work with your system? and was told yes, when they had no clue if it would or not after I was hired and quit my other job. As I said, good for you for being on the up and up and doing your job well. And I agree, if I could quit MT today, I would run away as fast as I could!!! Not only is your job thankless, but apparently OURS are TOO!!! Or at least I am given that impression but more than just ONE company!!!!!!
Glad to hear something good about them,
xx
Be glad you didn't hear.
Why? Stella and crew are psychopaths. You will pay them to use their software license to boot, won't be included in your contract, unless of course, my experience with them has changed that. I have a horror story to tell with this company, believe me.
The most controlling and thorougly unprofessional MTSO I have ever had the displeasure to work with. No wonder they are advertising...they can't keep good MTs.
Glad to hear that. Welcome aboard!

so glad to hear that MTing has been sm
brought down to a profession of chump change by the newbies.
so glad to hear that MTing has been sm
brought down to a profession of chump change! You do the profession proud. NOT!
Glad to hear you are happy.
Maybe they save this behavior for their ICs. There is no reason for me to lie. They are threatening in the way they DEMAND that you work a set schedule, even though one is SUPPOSED to be an IC.
The micromanaging comes in when as an IC you don't log in exactly at the SCHEDULED time to work.
Bottom line, TTS does not respect the law when it comes to IC workers. Period. They will eventually be dealt with if they do not begin to follow the law.
Wow, thanks for making that clear. Ever thought about
@@@
Thank you! I am glad to hear that there is clinic work with SM
That's great - glad to hear you got response
I'm glad you posted a followup as I was wondering how it was going for you.
glad to hear there is still a good company out there...
xx
I am glad to hear that, I start training with them tomorrow.

Don't sweat it. Be glad you didn't hear back.

So glad to hear all the positive feedback and I also accepted a position with them
nm
GOOD. This is important. Glad you thought ahead.
.I think we as women are condition to wait and see how it goes. Has it really ever gotten better -- whatever THAT was. We need to learn to believe our gut. When My Office Genie sold to MQ, I guess she (carol) was so fearful, she made the anouncement and wham, immediately gone. Had it all planned out in advance packed and gone..
I am glad to hear that a lot of money can be made with MT work. This gives me hope for the future.

I hear you. I just tested for what I thought was a decent company....
After a ridiculously involved screening, passing all, and with more than 10 years exp, I was offered 7.5 to do operative reports! (and did I mention I also said I could work weekends!) Are they kidding?!?!
Do you think all the headers and footers aren't getting counted? Lots of places aren't giving
s
i get it that's junk!!
.
Junk platforms
Yep, me too. Walmart, here I come!!! lol. I think I may do well on the night shift! After all, I'm used to it!!!!! HEEEE
ASR and VR probably where the newbies go and you get the junk dontcha think
:
Oh, I've been the recipient of that junk too.
I've worked many, many evening shifts doing all the dictators and junk everyone skipped or logged off and left for me. But, it's my job to do whatever is assigned to me. But I'm not like that - I know those people have hurt us, as a whole, but I genuinely was very ill and the room was spinning while I was typing. From a quality standpoint - I hope they double-checked everything I typed that day, because I really was so sick. I've typed with clogged ears while battling a cold, coughing my brains out with bronchitis, even running to the bathroom with you-know-what, but this UTI made me so feverish, lightheaded and in pain from urgency and frequency, that I debated going to the ER ... it was that bad. Literally, I sat typing with tears running down my face. NO job is worth that.
Have all the emails go to Junk so you don't see them. Keep calling until
s
I got out of that junk company a year ago - SM
Best move I made in my career! I was with Cymed before they became SPI. I left last February and went to Keystrokes. I'm more than glad that I did! They were still calling me almost every week up until August asking me why I wasn't working! What a bunch of idiots!
If you think you dont get more of the junk work when it is picked over by VR or ASR you had better
think again. The best attendings will be gone to VR and you will get the leftovers. I have been doing both for a year and I can guarantee you your CEO is full of it. Dont believe a word of it. You will either make less money on ASR or less money on the leftovers. Take you choice.
They have tons of ESL-lots of overflow junk. nm

Looks like junk mail to me, the kind you get out of newspapers!
nm
I don't like all the junk mail. This trims it significantly..sm
I also don't like having my credit report hacked. Too much ID theft these days, and my financial advisor said it is the only way to fly these days. One of my credit cards was hacked a few years ago, so this extra precaution is something I'm willing to do to protect myself even more. And, no matter what, ultimately MTs should be hired for their skill and experience, not how much debt is being carried.
TT new account is cardiology, procedure junk that you cant get lines on.
So, it is working for nothing practically. Just a new account on board for TT.
She is talking about QA and money is not tops. It is line pay for junk work.
They need to pay by the hour like they used to.
